Finished Works / Phoenix - Emanuel/PVD

« Last post by E-mann on April 11, 2024, 07:19:58 PM »

Surprise! After all these years, here I am rising like a Phoenix.

Lyrics: Paul (PVD)
Piano/Vocals: Emanuel

Phoenix 2024 Ver.

(v1)
My wings may be burning
But my head isn't bowed
Searching your eyes
I will return if allowed

Your flames consume me
But they will subside
Then I'll breathe the air
I can not be denied

(chorus)
I lie among the ashes
Like the phoenix
Who never dies
And as time passes
For you I'll rise
I am your phoenix

(v2)
Harsh words and looks
May cut till I bleed
But I will recover
You're everything I need

And I'll pursue you
My wounds will heal
I'll show you all of me
All my soul can reveal

(chorus)
I lie among the ashes
Like the phoenix
Like the phoenix
Who never dies
And as time passes
For you I'll rise
I am your phoenix

(outro)
You cannot shake me, or forsake me
I will forever return
Love never dies, it will always rise
I am your phoenix

Hello Andy and all the gang.

Blimey! That cleared the cobwebs out of my ears.  It brought a big smile on my face as I listened.

There's lots of instruments playing melodies and harmonies and sometimes occupying the same frequencies but Nick has managed to get the best out of them with his knowledge and experience. Stellar mix. Nick.

George is the man you need for the vox. He always comes up with the goods. Those vox harmonies are great.

I had fun doing this and that is what it's all about.

You guys are legends.

More to come I think.

Billy.

I couldn't agree more, Billy! It's positively incredible to watch how all of you pool your talents to such great and memorable results! MC is such a unique place and I feel very lucky for and appreciative to this community. 

Thank you all!

Hi Steffen,

Thank you so much for the kind words, it means a lot coming from a consummate composer and producer like yourself!!
Regards,
Andy 

I just love ALL your songs, Andy. Exactly the kind of songs I would write if I could.

In your songs, I always hear touches of all the bands I love, e.g. The Who, Deep Purple, Kansas, ...

Love the song, super production and performances!

Thanks, Andy!

I miss those days when there was plenty of time for music. But I am glad we are still in touch and doing songs together occasionally. Hopefully, there are going to be some new original ones soon.

If I had not already been lucky to have a great bassist for "Corporate Dogs", you would have been my first choice. I know you would have done an equally great job.

Regards, Steffen

Finished Works / Corporate Dogs - Version 2024

« Last post by stoman on March 16, 2024, 01:23:53 PM »

This is a new version of this old song with different vocals, guitars and drums.

CORPORATE DOGS

Lyrics: John "Ace" Williams
Vocals: Stoman (Synthesizer-V "Saros")
Guitars: Timothy Reid
Bass: Alberto P.
Drums: Alex Zulaika

Fat cats gather in a board room to talk about developments
The news is a shock and everyone's in panic mode
Armed with facts from a man they pay in the government
A message has arrived written in secret code

Some little man in a workshop wants to change the world
A foolish little man screwing up the status quo
Remember the story of the fisherman who found the pearl
Gentlemen, that's how low we're prepared to go

Are there no rooms in Heaven for the corporate dogs?
No there are no rooms in Heaven for the corporate dogs
Hell won't have them cause the devil's got his own backlog
So they put 'em out back where the angels feed the hogs

Somewhere lives a man who works for the government
A civil servant who does only serve himself
On a password account he accesses on the internet
A nice, little cheque awaits him for his help

A call gets placed to a law firm off in a foreign land
An account is made and money gets shuffled in
A throw-away phone makes a call out to a hidden man
The game gets changed so the corporation wins

Are there no rooms in Heaven for the corporate dogs?
No there are no rooms in Heaven for the corporate dogs
Hell won't have them cause the devil's got his own backlog
So they put 'em out back where the angels feed the hogs

There is a man who we can trust
He always does what he knows he must
Details have already been discussed
He's promised to deliver these plans to us
