SoundCloud link: https://soundcloud.com/user-963416123/the-ups-n-downs-by-pygmy-beat-extended-feat-gene-pensari Written by ray cochrane 2022 This is a rebuild of an earlier piece that existed in a different frame of a thoroughly perpendicular reference. Performed by Gene Pensari - LEAD GUITAR Bandhi Nahbox - DRUMS & ORGAN with ray doing the other bits. MASTERED by FRAN ASHCROFT Lyrics... Ups n Downs Frenchman's gift Beans ground sniffed Cuts of cane Toke back down again. Rhythms clocked by pain Nicotine Caffeine Sucrose Cannabis Put the mind in order Smoke guillotine Drink routine Poison we chose Oblivion knows DNA predisposed Nicotine Caffeine Sucrose Cannabis Mind upon the border solo Nicotine Caffeine Sucrose Cannabis Experience re-order Take you up Loving cup Called your own Personal touchstone. Needs must is chaperone Nicotine Caffeine Sucrose Cannabis Any/all comments welcome and, in fact, encouraged as I will store them for use with the next faux psych project. I think the narrative is fairly obvious and the vocal, whilst buried, has a bell attached. Last edited by Andrew - PG Music; 02/09/23 08:40 AM.

Guitar was excellent. Well done... Scott Collingwood https://soundcloud.com/scottt709 https://soundcloud.com/spiritlevel-ca https://www.youtube.com/@SpiritLevel-ge3hm/

Love this (as you already know), and the video is outstanding and has your signature creativity throughout. Man, your lyrics are always quite clever and this one opens a whole new realm of clever. Yes, bring out the vocal. That guitar is perfect. An yes, I listened to the whole minute-plus ending, and loved it.

It's certainly a different type of tune but a cool production! I always like your chord progressions and melodies! Guitar parts are great...don't know if the rhythm parts were you or not, but I like them! Good job arranging all of this! Thanks, Torrey

Sonically interesting - guitars do some cool stuff. Harmonies are neat as well. Some unexpected chords in there. -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

I'll join the chorus about bringing the vocal just a bit more foe=ward in the mix. There's a lot going on in the overall soundscape ... but it all fits. I'm sure that took a buit of time! Cool stuff!

Yes, bring out the vocal. That guitar is perfect. An yes, I listened to the whole minute-plus ending, and loved it. Thanks Marty, Lyrically it results from my bemusement with the routine daily intake of stimulants and how the edge is taken from that stim by downers even while still consuming the uppers. I know many people for whom this is normal...a few who add booze to the mix as well. It spins me out as I have one up of coffee in the morning and whilst munching on biscuits or other sweet things, occasionally, through the day I don't have a constant recharging plan. I know a couple of people who plan their week around outings to acquire the necessary provisions of gaspers, tea, sugar for the tea, milk for the tea and bread. Rarely does a resupply of the addictive ones coincide and the lack of any one causes agitation. Clearly for many cannabis & alcohol are interchangeable or companions.

I bought my old man, (90 next year), a bottle of Chivas Regal for Oz Fathers' Day knowing that hell enjoy it, he'll imbibe moderately and, at his age, it's the least of his worries.

Fun video, especially the girl with ball and cigarette dance. Ending is an icing on the cake. The only thing, I believe vocals are way low. Thank you for sharing. Misha.
