memories

I'm making videos to help me remember the places I go. I have a beautiful wife, the talented Natalie Taylor (@NatTaylorMusic). I play guitar for Paramore and have my own band called, General Ghost. I also have a studio in Nashville, TN called, The Anchor Room...Visit the links below. So thankful. Full-blooded Pennsylvanian.

General Ghost’s song, “I Need My People,” is featured in the new Season 2 trailer for the Netlflix original series, Derek!

As Jackson couldn’t fluently play any instruments, he would sing and beatbox out how he wanted his songs to sound by himself on tape, layering the vocals, harmonies and rhythm before having instrumentalists come in to complete the songs.

One of his engineers Robmix on how Jackson worked: “One morning MJ came in with a new song he had written overnight. We called in a guitar player, and Michael sang every note of every chord to him. “here’s the first chord first note, second note, third note. Here’s the second chord first note, second note, third note”, etc., etc. We then witnessed him giving the most heartfelt and profound vocal performance, live in the control room through an SM57. He would sing us an entire string arrangement, every part. Steve Porcaro once told me he witnessed MJ doing that with the string section in the room. Had it all in his head, harmony and everything. Not just little eight bar loop ideas. he would actually sing the entire arrangement into a micro-cassette recorder complete with stops and fills.”

AMAZING.

A singer of folksongs gives his own seven and a half pillars of wisdom. DEAR FELLOW HUMANS: I usually mistrust older people’s giving advice to younger, because while often their advice is very good (the values of foresight, temperance, persistence, etc.), they forget that younger people…

This video is from Milan, Italy. A beautiful city. This was particularly inspired by The Museo Del Novecento (Museum of Modern Art), which I was able to visit twice during our visit.

My 2nd vid of this tour - Dusseldorf, Germany. I used sounds from the city recorded on my phone as the base of the soundtrack...Taylor York can be heard playing the bridge railing.

Paramore - Now

Lyrics:

Don’t try to take this from me Don’t try to take this from me Now ow ow ow ow ow ow owww Don’t try to take this from me Don’t try to take this from me Now ow ow ow ow ow ow owww Feels like I’m waking from the dead and everyone’s been waiting on me At least now I never have to wonder what it’s like to sleep a year away. Thought we were indestructible, I thought we could brave it all… I never what could take me out was hiding down below Lost the battle… win the war… Bringing my shipping sink back to the shore Starting over… we’ll head back in!… There’s a time and a place to die but this ain’t it! If there’s a future we want it Now ow ow ow ow ow ow owww If there’s a future we want it Now ow ow ow ow ow ow owww If there’s a future we want it Now ow ow ow ow ow ow owww If there’s a future we want it Now ow ow ow ow ow ow owww Don’t try to take this from me Don’t try to take this from me Now ow ow ow ow ow ow owww Don’t try to take this from me Don’t try to take this from me Now ow ow ow ow ow ow owww Wish I could find a crystal ball for the days I feel completely worthless You know I’d use it all for good, I would not take it for granted! Inside a house of memories for the days I don’t feel anything At least they’ll remember not to make the same mistakes again Lost the battle… win the war… Bringing my shipping sink back to the shore Starting over… we’ll head back in… There’s a time and a place to die but this ain’t it! If there’s a future we want it Now ow ow ow ow ow ow owww If there’s a future we want it Now ow ow ow ow ow ow owww If there’s a future we want it Now ow ow ow ow ow ow owww If there’s a future we want it Now ow ow ow ow ow ow owww -incredible bass solo- There’s a time and a place to die… There’s a time and a place to die… and this ain’t it! There’s a time and a place to die… and this ain’t it! THIS AIN’T IT!… THIS AIN’T IT!… There’s a time and a place to die… There’s a time and a place to die… and this ain’t it! NO!… If there’s a future we want it Now ow ow ow ow ow ow owww If there’s a future we want it Now ow ow ow ow ow ow owww If there’s a future we want it Now ow ow ow ow ow ow owww If there’s a future we want it Now ow ow ow ow ow ow owww Now ow ow ow ow ow ow owww Now ow ow ow ow ow ow owww
