Description Michael2 was kind enough to send me Jam Pack 4 so I set down to messing around with orchestral instruments. Meanwhile I had been listening to The National (Boxer - a great CD) and headed toward an orch/rock thing. When it came to vocals I hit a wall and asked Jack (davisamerica) if he'd give it a crack. Well he hit it out of the park in my opinion. I thought I might add some harmony - but his vocal was so perfect that all I did was tweak it a bit and rearrange some of my tracks to fit better. I'm really grateful to Jack for making something out of this experiment - and value his talent and friendship. His recent track I Though I Told You is just brilliant.
Lyrics
can you run..........

something is lurking and following closely
her feet feel like lead and her vision is blurred
she wants to look over her shoulder but something says hurry
there's no time for words

page by page
minute by minute
seconds flow slowly
then your heart is in it
it hold you... caresses and colors your sight
it says
fear is the only thing that will keep you alive

he sits all alone in the twilight of his life
locks all secure the sun sets too soon
waiting and knowing there's some one who watches
he will not fall prey so he stays in his room

it hides in the dark and feeds if you let it
it comes when your heart has grown weary and tired
it blinds you with hatred and consumes you like fire

as always bud is way too gracious ... the tune took form and was driven by his wonderful sound bed .... all i did was scribble some words ... stand in front of a mic and croak. Kevin... you are a joy to work with and way too cool!

Scribble and croak - really

Just before hitting the road
going for one week in holidays in the French Alps, 4:30 in the morning. Downloaded to hear it in the car (8 hours trip minimum), it's gone be a treat. Thanks for you and Jack for this brilliant number.

bud said 312 days ago
Have a great trip
but don't play this at night alone in the car.

Godchaser said 313 days ago
Collabelious!
Very cool tune and the orchestra parts really make the piece 'Shine'!Very well done gentlemen.

Blessings,

bud said 312 days ago
Thanks GC
it was really great passing this off to Jack and getting such a nice surprise in my email.

echoroom said 312 days ago
Fabulous
I've been entranced by 'Boxer' since I got it last year, and this has the same dark vice. The music on this is wonderful - fabulous orchestration, especially the horns, a deep whirlpool of a track. The vocal works wonderfully with this

bud said 312 days ago
Boxer is the bomb - innit?
Jack's voice is great and I've always wanted to do something with horns. Thanks to M2 I got some new toys.

lupiroz said 312 days ago
Great song indeed!
Great style, great singing, great arrangement....great everything!

bud said 312 days ago
Cheers lupiroz
Nice of you to drop in. I really enjoyed your funky tune.

said 312 days ago
Great
Good rhythm... Good arranged... And i really can relate to the lyrics, from my own life.... Great song.... It swings... Thanks for sharing....

bud said 312 days ago
Swingin -
now that's a nice compliment. Thanks!

paul f. page said 312 days ago
Soundscape...
Bud and Davis...This is a movie score. You've nailed a great arrangement that draws me in and doesn't let go. What a great collaboration. Bud, you keep pushing the experiments and always to great effect. I applaud you for your constant drive to find new ways to express yourself. What a creative, talented man you are.
Peace.
Paul

bud said 312 days ago
Good thing in cyberspace
that no one can see you blush. You're too kind Paul. Flattery from a talented fellow like you is a dangerous thing for this ravenous ego.

peacepiano said 312 days ago
Fearful
Tempo and tension are worming there way into me. Nice job capturing a fearful mood. Especially like the touches of orchestra. Super mix.

Thanks
Bill

bud said 312 days ago
Worming tempo and tension
sounds like Edgar Allen Poe. I like that. Thanks for commenting.

guitapick said 312 days ago
Great piece...
...you were right: davisamerica was the perfect choice...

bud said 312 days ago
The secret is always in
the casting.

lengold said 312 days ago
What a
fantastic collaboration. Absolutely love the instrumentation and Jacks voice fits so perfectly. Got a taste of Jacques Brel here. Very beautiful song. Downloaded. Thanks.
Cheers
Len



bud said 312 days ago
Nice of you to drop by Len
I agree about Jack. He took on a tough challenge and did a great job.

lavalamp said 311 days ago

Excellent
wonderful use of the orchestral instruments and the vocal is perfect.

Kudos guys :-)

Cheers

Dick

bud said 309 days ago
Thanks Dick
Very nice of you yo stop by.

dajama said 311 days ago
Very nice
I love the instrumentation on this. The drums are perfect - great beat and sound. That guitar is nicely done, too, sparkling in the background. This is a great example of how orchestral instrumentation can really enhance a song, giving it great dynamic range and adding a whole new palette of colors. The vocal is great, Jack - great melancholy imagery and powerful dark expressiveness. This is a great collab. Outstanding. Nicely done to both of you. Peace.

bud said 309 days ago
Much appreciated
Jack got this off the shelf and made it into a song.

NorthPoint said 311 days ago
Chilling
Bud and Jack, nicely done - a chilling and haunting tune. Fear is the only thing that will keep you alive... great lyric.
-- Alan

bud said 309 days ago
I love that lyric too
Jack really nailed it. I've heard it said that anxiety is the life force - I fear therefore I am.

said 310 days ago
Great!
Sir bud, this is very great song. Loved the work here very much and Jack's vocals were a nice addition to your work. Appreciated so much. Thanks a lot for sharing ..

Take Care

bud said 309 days ago
Thanks fr stopping by and commenting
I'm long overdue to pay you a visit.

michael2 said 310 days ago
oh yeah
finally getting the chance to hear some stuff. this is awesome. i love the horn parts. i always have a hard time with the horns. jacks voice fits this perfectly, and you created such a huge soundbed for it. excellent work, both of you.

bud said 309 days ago
Thanks for supplying the ammo
I'm having a blast with the orch pack.

SmokeyVW said 310 days ago
holy macro
ominous

this plays to our most ancient primitive area of the human brain - where emotion and patterns can take control of our higher faculties

the 2 against 3 works great here - like an unbalanced waltz -

it's like the Matrix - the sense of what is real vs. what is really real. whoa.

& the pic tells volumes as well

nicely done

thanks

bud said 309 days ago
Gee thanks Smokey
the drum pattern was fun to work with - I replaced the original orchestral drums with a jazz 6/8 pattern and it made a big difference. Glad you dug it.

five_extra_arms said 309 days ago
Horns On Fire
This is great guys. The horns are big, the drums are big, Jack is big and the whole thing just gets bigger and bigger.

I truly believe that if I sent bud a brown crayon he could use it to make a song about rainbows.

You never stop bud!

bud said 309 days ago
Thanks Bob - glad you liked it
Jack is a genius. BTW - do brown crayons taste better than green crayons.

five_extra_arms said 308 days ago
Mouthful of Crayons
Brown crayons taste the same as green, but green crayons make you horny. Ask any 4 year old.

What?



massa said 309 days ago
Cool Lyrics!
I think your lyrics here are very cool! great song! nice guitar too!

bud said 309 days ago
Jack aka davisamerica wrote the lyrics
and sang this one. And I hate to admit it but all the guitars are loops this time. Thanks for dropping by.

said 309 days ago
Great.


Hi loved this-
your music and lyrics captured it all the feelings
were all there to a tea. These below especially Well done you guys.

something is lurking and following closely
her feet feel like lead and her vision is blurred
she wants to look over her shoulder but something says hurry
there's no time for words.



Peace
Dee.


bud said 309 days ago
Jack knocked this out of the park with
his writing and singing. Thanks for digging this collab - their my favorite thing to do around here.

willnlf said 309 days ago
Try this...
...when someone asks how you're doing, instead of saying "fine," say "I woke up in fear this morning and I don't know why." Then refer them to this great Budjack collaboration. How about a weekend at the Overlook?

Kenta_and_Linda_Rocks_together said 308 days ago
I love this COLLAB
Hey! this is so awesome & beautifully done you guys really ROCKS together in this one.. Peace

davisamerica2 said 308 days ago
wow
my brother has been busY!!!

rabittwhole said 308 days ago
ummm...lol
patrick and me too!

said 305 days ago
brilliant
such a full sound you have created here. I love the off color drums. The slight subtle guitar is a very cool touch. Mr DA did a great job putting lyrics to this, some substance in the line of fear is the only thing that keeps you alive.

8piscean8 said 303 days ago
Change it up, yeah!
I love the little change up in the middle of the track (it caught me off guard (not in a bad way though)). This was a great collaboration. It sounds sort of REMish in a subtle sort of way. Great sound bed. It looks like you are enjoying Jam Pack 4!

Dj French Toast said 303 days ago
I love
the drums man and the vocal is great ......creepy pic

magnatone said 302 days ago
COOL!
I'm pretty late to the party here, but I love this collab, and just about everything about how this song goes together. You're a wizard Mr. Bud (and I always get such a smile from your avatar!), and I've enjoyed everything of yours I've heard - this is no exception. Congrats to you both - thanks

said 300 days ago
Amazing doesn't cover it
Huge, epic sound that washes broad sweeps of drama across the canvas. I shouldn't be surprised at all that you continue to surprise me, Bud - but it still feels exciting when you do!

That orchestra pack is a treasure trove of forbidden pleasures, isn't it? Those symphonic elements give this a feel that's both intimate and grand, frightening and alluring... it's like painting an image of being claustrophobic in a huge, beautiful room. There's so much here, but what it whispers of beyond is considerably more.

You and Jack cooked up a masterpiece here. Deep bow!

p.s. Five Extra Arms is right - give you a brown crayon, and there'd be a song about rainbows.

Heightened said 300 days ago
Hit the ball out of the park
on this one!!! Wow!

ageofthedeathtree said 274 days ago
cool as could be...
i love this guys! great work! the music end of it...awesome...i just love the composition and ochestral elements at play here. you really did some nice work there man! as for the vocals, you're right...jack knocked this one out of the park! LOVE the lyrics!

nicely done guys, nicely done!

bud said 274 days ago
Thanks for your kind words
I really appreciate the listen and time to comment. Same goes to the everyone else who has dropped by lately - I have some catching up to do.
Jack is the man!

davisamerica said 273 days ago
right then
now the dog is talking smack again ..... bud's track had my little bit already embedded .... i just uncovered it a bit here and there ... man ... musicians ...sheesh

Char said 104 days ago
I just now found this.
Bud, that is wonderful musicianship and Jack, there is no way to describe how impressed I am with your lyrics and your vocal. I give up. You are a master. It reminds me of Emma. Thank you.
