Sea of Es

Seas of Ease by Ga-Joob


This month.

Too lazy to fill it in with colour. Botched up GATE, and fell ill for nearly 5 days (both being mutually exclusive).

I like my progress on the Bass. Lots more to pen-down, record and fret over.

Blues and all that

The objective is to record one song, every month. By the end of 2011, i should have enough for an album. Here's January :

Beaney Blues Town by Ga-Joob


The piano in this song annoys me, sort of. The bass seems to come through more naturally.
I've always felt like a guitarist trapped in a pianist's body. But then again, it's more about through which instrument the song was born. In this case, the bass. Framing bass lines to the disorganised, unstructured vague songs that i write on the piano could be challenging to me...have'nt tried that yet. For the moment, it's mainly lots of practice on the bass...occasionally a little tune creeps in...

Tiny riff, fleeting jingle
Would you like to mingle?
Serenade my mind
Till I'm lost inside
This loop to find that 'hit' single.

Sambadikeelim!

I want this to carry on. Maybe even join a band on bass.

Bassically


'Jordy'

New obsession
New gear resolution
New love
New ear
New "knew i've always wanted to"

Ibanez SR 300...the reason why i trudged through december frugally.

Worth it.

Pick Up The Pieces

Pick Up The Pieces by Ga-Joob

Old Man Me, met my younger self
Lying high and asked: "What have you done?"

"Left these pieces scattered
On the ground all around"

Who made you king for a day?
"You'll make my past sway this way"

"When life lies waiting (for you to)
Pick up the pieces"; Go where the peace is,
Reset my future; " If Only life was so easy."


"Now you're at ease, but soon you'll be facing
Raging storms and seas." Nobody cares!
Pick up these pieces, follow me
And I'll show you where.

"Who made you king for a day?"
We'll shape your past any way,
And roll with life, and find that peace, yes
"You'll be torn to pieces"
Thats unbelievable, You're standing right next to me.





Written for 'A Little Less Something', by me.
