getting right back into synth driven music with Bruce here - part of an Ep which we'll have done by end of year, this the first track off that.

some people get by with a little understanding, some people get by with a whole lot more..
think back to when the Monkees were riding high in the charts with such great songs as 'Daydream Believer' and 'Last Train to Clarksville' and how the world seemed less complicated and more focussed on serious issues as opposed to Tik Tok or Instagram and if we don't think we've lost something we're crazy...but if we think it's coming back anytime soon then we are complete fools...ok, Christmas salutations from myself, Jill, Louie the wonder dog and cha-cha the kitty kat, everyone else has left us now, lol - empty nesters...haha! can you still recall in the juke box hall when the music played and the world spun round to a brand new sound in those far off days.. in their blue suede shoes they would scream and shout as they sang the blues, let it all hang out.. rock and roll...

Story behind the song
constantly working on and trying to achieve a level of satisfaction with some of the more 'out there' stuff where I look to create aural soundscapes fusing fx, samples, music and vocals - with this track we've got sampled street drummers from London, a few Americans bots and a science teacher...ohhhh kaaay...! What's behind the song...it's about a dystopian future...doesn't have to be...hope it's not...kind of think we get what we wish for so just hope not a lot of folk are wishing for one of these as old chinese proverb will apply, careful what you wish for...
Lyrics
[take charge of your own journey] So light me a path Show me a future Describe the math Maybe make it on YouTube I need to relax [delete] Wasn’t it forever? [everything in this world] Staying with the facts So you can always remember me this way No other way, other way, no other way So you can always remember me this way Another day, another way, other way Well I can’t change this time [delete] [take charge of your own journey] Make me a deal Sign it up tomorrow How does it feel? Sell it up or borrow I’m in for the steal (take it back, take it back) It’s the same as ever Well let’s keep it real So you can always remember me this way No other way, other way, no other way You can always remember me this way (show me) other way, other way Well I can’t change this time ...always remember me this way [take charge of your own journey] [everything in this world is made up of matter...made up of matter...made up of matter] [Take charge of your own journey] Take it back Show me the future...[take part of your own journey] ...take it back Show me the future... You can always remember me this way Another day, another way, show me show me You can always remember me this way Show me show me Well I can't change this time...oohhhhhhhhhhhhh...kaaaaaaaaaaay... ...show me the future

I like the futuristic vibe of this song & the way we get a glimpse into the way the world will be. Love that line "take charge of your own journey", I think we will all have to commit to that or we'll be overwhelmed by technology! Great synth based song that has instant appeal.

Well if the rest of the ep is this good. And I’m certain it will be I’m in. Excellent synth lead dance fusion track. Great opener for sure.
