A fun collaboration with Vince Fedele, who provided the backing, I added vocals, some more synths/beats, and lyrics!
I am a musical journeyman, and have been recording (on and off) in a home studio, since about 1988. I experiment with different forms, methods, and styles,
I began to recording on a cassette 4-track (Tascam Porta-One) in 1988, and enjoying the whole process of recording sounds, I then purchased an Atari ST, running Cubase Vs1. I moved on to a digital 8-track in about 1998 (Roland VS-880) and then to a more modern mac setup, which I'm using now. I am a visual artist, as well as a musical experimenter, an dI believe this does inform the way I work.
Story behind the song
Vince sent me a backing track a few months back, so I finally managed to create this rough draft last night! I wrote the lyrics, did the vocal and played some more synths and added a few beats and textures, fun!
Lyrics
Mushroom Jam (Music by Vince Fedele & Andrew Shields, Lyrics & Vocals by Andrew Shields)
Mushroom jam, mushroom jam, what's the plan, Yosemite Sam?
take the oil that's in the land, it'll never run out, just like grains of sand!
Mushroom jam, mushroom jam, on my toast, in the morning, it's the most,
spreads like sunshine,
on my toast, like yellow light, hitting a post,
Mysterious appearing, in the morning of my mind,
what treasure's are you bearing, for me to find?
Mushroom jam, mushroom jam, include me in your mushroom plan!
Flavor muted, flavor full,
especially nice, is nature's brew,
fade's the world, right out of view,
if you knew what's really going on, wouldn't you?
Mushroom jam, I am a fan,
of all the things you do,
shifts my mind, so nice and kind,
and Santa thanks you too!
Fly Agaric on the wall,
what have you seen,
and what have you heard?
in the manna of all mysteries, John Allegro's
cup of tea, but don't ask me,
I'm lost at sea, mushroom jam, mushroom jam.....
Repeat From Top....
