I played live bass and took the simple drum part and added live and designed drums.Then to the lyrics... -- all I can say is I'm feeling like a train wreck when writing the words and tracking the vocals. Maybe that's a good thing, I'll let you be the judge.Finally, Death Camp Parade, our studio project band, has produced a lot of tracks over the past 3 years and more in the works.

***********************************************
This is a tune inspired and in appreciation for people and musicians we have come to know on the cloud here but also about the changing of weather conditions in life and through the season of life (in music)
So it is a loose concept piece in a sense. I was looking to do something instrumental and I wanted to work again with Jaime who I think just did an amazing job with her contributions and is in places you may would not have known were Jaime (see parts) All of her work was done on the piano and some was modeled with other effects to add a new layer to her talents here.
Then we passed off to Zeph who started this thing with a drum loop he sent me that got me going and then he added his drum design to the rest of the piece and some instrumentation that I just think fit so well and again (see parts) His mix on this was stellar and I could not be happier with the way everyone vibed this groove. We had much fun together doing it.
Vocal parts written by Jaime with a bit of ThePhaige in there
This aint a song with lyrical content
This aint no play on words
just a musical dynamic we be playing for you
from us the instrumental_istic nerds
Sometimes our music speaks for us
Not guided by lyrics..or voices…
guided only…by the musical must …
we are all just sitting here on this cloud
filled with angels that are you
who support, encourage and dream
we wish to say thankyou from this
