Hi Folks, been away TCB .There is some great new music here to listen and comment on.

WE BELONG Is bravely sung by Mary, my non-singing partner.

If Interested.
After a wine and dine night with friends I tricked/bribed my partner Mary into singing it by promising to clean and tidy my music room (Ha... I didn't say when). Neither of us can sing and the results are more Goofy Tardonnay than Elegant Chardonnay but was heaps of fun to do.
"We Belong" is more a musical tool than a proper song. It has served me well over the years from being a stand by whenever something mindless and simple is required , to jamming with visiting musicians. It is "2 chords and the juice".
Lyrics ? .........make them up as you go!

Tempo 115 Chords Gm C

Band is bits and pieces of :

This sounds fun!

What is that riff? I know I have heard it but I can't name it and it is driving me crazy.

Is it Santana?

Gary & Mary,
brave indeed! Excellent workout. Sounds like Santana fighting Morrison in a Plane. Fabulous and raw. Mary should definitely do more singing with your accompaniment. Cool user track. Fun! Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

P.S. Try to change recipe next time a little: More wine, no dine, extra chord.

Thanks for the listen David.
You may be thinking of Oye Como Va, Evil Ways and Smooth from yesteryear and more recently Havana by Camila Cabello.

Hi Misha.
I will show your post to Mary. She has been hyperventillating since I posted this and your nice message will calm her.

<"P.S. Try to change recipe next time a little: More wine, no dine, extra chord.">
LOL More wine for sure smile
Regards
Gary.

Cool!........very Cool!

It's got a cutting edge vibe that works well.

Band sounds great and please tell Mary she needs to do this more often.
I enjoyed her vocals!

Hey Gary,

I dig that riff, similar but not quite the same as the Santana riff. It's not stealing if you switch it up a little in my book wink

Cool track, percussion sounds great. Nice B3 too. And Mary sounds pretty good!

Lots of fun, well arranged, very entertaining all the way through. Do more with Mary!

Many a good song evolved from unplanned mixes or impromptu recordings (one example was the wobbly piano on Tin Tin's "Toast and Marmalade For Tea - caused by an sound engineer accidentally leaning on a reel-to-reel tape).
I like it. Well done, Mary!


My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile smile

Mary does a fine job within the circumstances and the tone of her voice is perfect for a hybrid of Santana & Jefferson Airplane.
Nice band and your user tracks worked well..congrats.


Cheers

Well Ray beat us to the comment. We listened last week and
Janice was immediately down with Oye Como Va and Grace!

Tell your partner she did well and don't start back hyperventilating smile

This is a cool mix and nice selection of RT's RD's and your user tracks.

Now if we can get that light show off of the wall.

Enjoyed it!

Well, I was hesitant to listen to this one but it was pretty durned good. Edgy vocal worked well. Reminded me of a super slowdown of I'm your Venus. Enjoyed it. Great use of BIAB and SPOUSE. Way to go.

Thankyou Cap'n.
We appreciate your kind words.

I try to keep Mary out of my music room because she cleans up and I can't find anything. smile

Hey Gary & Mary ...

Sounds a lot like Grace Slick wondered onto the stage and helped out Carlos Santana. Her voice is so cool for this song! Great song, great performance, great listen! Mary definitely should be better friends with the mic ... they make a nice couple. Some really cool tracks didn't hurt, either! Sweet!!!

Thankyou Alan for your lovely words
I am in the process of expanding Mary's musical world outside of Adele , Lady GaGa and Taylor Swift and a trip back to Haight Ashbury is just what she needs.
My best regards to you and Di.
Gary.

Thankyou Brian
I remember that song and it's perculiar title. That was an interesting anecdote about the engineers happy accident so I listened to it on YT and there it was! , they left it as is.
We appreciate you giving it a spin and commenting.
cheers
