Here's a collab with Kenny called "Shadows Move" (for the Story Festival)

This is the first song which is part of a concept album that has the following the Story line. (Kenny came up with this great story line), I keep telling him that he should write novels  :D


The city burst into life at night.
Neon signs burst into the skyline and the reflections cut onto the concrete scarring the streets ,glistening on the wet cobbled alleyway
Corrie had just finished her shift and was taking her usual short cut back home.
Tonight, was different there was something in the air, a stillness of eerie proportions ,the silence suddenly broke and her eyes moved to the corner by the waste bins.

Shadow Moves:

You can see the rain
Wash the alleyway
You feel those shadows move.
Echoes from the walls
As your high heels click
you feel those shadows move

You can feel his eyes
Burn away your soul
you feel those shadows move.

All the walls are dark and closing
At least that's how it feels
Like some tragic horror movie
As the devils spins the reels

You can sense he's there
You can't turn around
You see his shadow move

You have tried to scream
But it won't come out.
As you see that shadow move.

Yeh all the walls are dark and closing in
At least that's how it feels
Like some tragic horror movie
As the devils spins the reels

Shhhhhhhh
You can see his cold reflection
On the cobbles on the street.
You are on the border
Of were good and Evil meet

The devils in the detail
And every move is planned

Fear creeps out to meet You
And grabs you by the hand

You try to run away
You try to run and hide
But every move is pointless
As evils by your side.

interesting and all too terrifying reality headlines... the story is captivating as is the music... and the singing....

the guitar reminds me at times of some Rush I love... the bass is really solid and adds power... the drums are very good... and drive the song along..... the lead guitar is a star here as well.  really great production... really great recording.

this theme is why I love the "Equalizer"....

I agree, from my lucky collaborations with Kenny, his lyrics are always stunning. Also, his ability to find just the right melody line with his own twist! The music composition is really great.

This song reminds me of the zombie movies (something - weeks later?) would fit fine! Nice break - interesting environmental spectacle! Comes back with brass - stunning.

Overall - a really terrific composition and collaboration.

Bravo guys!!

Mike

Godin is very clever in his musical approach.
I like the journey
to these tracks we do because there's a mutual respect and he takes me down a musical path I would not normally go.
His Drum programming is always spot on and complex in parts although subtle there's alot going on.
His guitar is always excellent and he always leaves plenty of scope for new additions.
I'm really looking forward to see how this full project unfolds.
Thanks for letting me join in my friend.
And thanks to all the people for the kind comments.

Great collab guys.. you've very much developed your own style together. Reminds me at times of Ultravox around the Vienna and Rage in Eden era. Top quality work !

Thanks all for the great comments .. I'm also looking forward to see how this full projects unfolds. Kenny always comes up with these great storylines and lyrics. His vocals and music abilities (guitar solos etc..) are also incredible. I must say that it helps me tremendously to have a storyline to start with, it gives me a direction. I never really know how the song is going to turn out when we start it but I always know that when Kenny is finish with it, it will sound great..
Off to the next song .. ;D
