Way Word HuesPiano,Bells,Organ and Vocals - Jaime J RossDrums, Harmonica and Production(mix) - Zeph DanielMusic, Lyrics, Vocals, Vocal Melodies - ThePhaigeWORDS FROM GARY AKA THE PHAIGE: This tune came about as I was laying some bass down for She Loves Me/Not and I was goofing around with some blues bass lines. The lyrics are about the trial of life and facing the many demons in our pasts, presents and futures that can and dorefine and purify us as in like a crucible and into the best "We'z" we are desirous to be.I presented the beginnings to Jaime and asked her for a piano piece to go along with this riff I have sent her and the section at the end is that piece that she created and We took it to build the chorus sections with the organ around her vocals. I absolutely love what she did on the vocal in this tune and brought such an exquisite supernal essence to her singing. I just thought she was perfect and as always we had much fun doing this and going back and forth with the parts and pieces. I love doing music with Jaime and we connect so well and has an incredible sense for the sound and the vibe were after. Jaime also has an amazing ear for detail and quality and was a huge help with certain nuances here and there.Now for Zeph who I have been following on the cloud for a bit now. I have really seen the brilliant nature in his work and his amazing musical mind is unmistakable,fearless, evident and unequivocal. We got to chatting on various things and it came up that we should collab on something and I told him we had one that we were into that I thought would be perfect. I shot the stems over to Zeph within days and he took and replaced the simple drum placeholder we had with his own that he played, and then just as I decided to add a horn section he came at me with this harmonica aspect that was inspired and it fit like Teflon right into the mix.Then he mastered the thing into what your hearing and I could not be more pleased! **********************I woke up the wrong side of the dah bedand everything seems totally offIt really is the same side of the bed I Just been through the inter dimensional clothI climb up and look upon the day and all that is has a chromatic swayI think its weird but go about da wayI'm realizing that all i am in miry clayI try to look normal to the all around folkas I move in and out and and remain under cloakI work my mind to determine the scopeas every nuance is a screaming In need of hopeThis aint no arm chair journey your on a plane with no wingsyour flying at the mercy of whom ever owns the thingThey'll take ya to the left they'll take ya to the otherTo find your way to the relief you'll have to call on AnotherThe persons that ya see are not the persons ya knewThey aint not concerned with if your ecstatic ya flewSo clamp on that seat belt and bring your ass to a stillThe ride is just beginning and it gots nuthing to do with willDid I just say it had nothing to do with your will ...well thatsjust partially true but the fact is it has everything to do with yo will! .... And we shall have it....They was poking all at me with their proverbial sticksand pulled on me all of their silly familiar tricksI likened it to being an apprentice of a sortI soon was shown who they is as I am here to reportOh The Lord Helped me Oh The Lord Helped meAs I was sayin' and now you know about their snareThey was more than the routine adversarial despairAll shapes and sizes they come in and out of their lairSome can bend their faces some even covered in hairOh the Lord Helped me OH the lord Helped meThey was ultimately after all the innards of meParts not allied with the flesh or any parts ya can seeWhen They was "bene factin" eyes...I nearly came away with three. Cept a rather than all this I chose to surrender and live as freehttps://soundcloud.com/thephaige/way-word-hues-jaime-j-ross-zeph-daniel-thephaige

A Death Camp Parade TrackRich really tears it up on guitar on this so I had to keep mixing until this thing really punched. Epic theme--conquering and conquered... so sad, so true. People just want to live. A small group wants to rule and enslave. I played the Roland TD30 kit and synths and sang. I feel like the topic isn't done yet. And hope to do more telling this story. Best to let the music talk. I hope you like it--I had an earlier version but that was only a rough beginning.Godspeed to those who cherish freedom.

NO I WILL NOT - DCP
Monday Aug 24, 2015
Monday Aug 24, 2015
DCP aka Death Camp Parade
Remember Rock? Perhaps a throwback to the good ol' days, but with a twist. The theme is Totalitarianism, which results in Tyranny and a destruction of peoples rights, happiness, and basic health. Rock is all about the rebel yell, so I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed.

Lyrics by Zeph Daniel
NO I WILL NOT
I don’t know who I am or what my name is
How I got here, where I’m going
Something happened along the way
I’m not a slave
I don’t listen to you
Now I see who you really are
You thought you had me fooled
And I’m not listening anymore
You will do what your told
And be glad
You will do as your told
and be glad.
I will tell what to do
And you will be…..
Now I know who you really are
Now I can see where I’ve been
No I will not
No I will not
No I will not
I will not do as you say
Now I see who you really are
You really thought you had me fooled
You’re a fool!
Now I see what you are
A Totalitarian
I will not obey
Take our freedoms
turn the military against our own country
No I don’t think so
Now I see who you really are
You’ve got a lot of nerve
To come around here
with your LIES!…
Corruption
Stay the hell away from me.
