You Don't Know It / You're Turning All This Stone Into A Heart

Save-a-Way

Today, my fellow enthusiasts, I have a little Ace Frehley double feature for you, centered around a small, clashing to stomping, slightly circular riff-pattern.

Both of todays pieces, despite their quite different approaches, convey a distinct sense of finality. Save Your Love (1979), our first conclusive candidate, gets pretty much straight to the point from the first beat, actually even before the song begins, sending its clear message along the lines of: Never! You better get that out of your head, girl! which kinda provides the ideal contrast to the light-footed yet determined aural dynamism of the rest of the song.

With our second contributor, Strange Ways (1974), things look a bit different. Here, our riff serves as the final act of liberation against something that much feels like a lengthy, dark, and nerve-wracking process to which it had been subjected for far too long. In this context, the riff’s dynamic is striking in its urgency to put an end to the openly perverted goings-on once and for all - until there is finally peace.

Two very dissimilar songs, one riff—albeit just overlappinga little, but still. Besides, I always enjoy it when one song picks up right where the other leaves off, because that’s a tradition here, and tradition can also be a delightful thing, sometimes.

This makes me wonder, what would Tradition actually be called in Kiss-speak? Kradition? Trakission? Kissdition?

I bought a mixed-media painting from Lara Cove. She had Ace sign it for me (this is the pic she sent before he added my name) - I requested the Strange Ways Twisted Days, and she told me she chose to use this style SyFy font because Ace loves old Sci Fi movies. She also added the spaceship on the lower right.

Everything shaking, falling, collapsing

Breaking and

Everyone yelling confused and

Its ruined...

──┈┈┈┄┄╌╌╌╌┄┄┈┈┈──

Time untimeless

We find ourselves again and again

something new and old and discovered and created

Take this

We always had it and did we forget or? Perhaps we went through this cycle before...

Now remains an everlasting moment

Where you

Realize

Take the first step into the glow of a new reality

Can you hear my thoughts now?
