Music Composed and played by Al B. and his bands
A collaboration song written by Kimo and sung by Aldo. Kimo actually wrote this song as a dedication to his wife. The phrasing and lyric’s took some time to get right, but at the end it all came together and worked perfectly. A nice acoustic number with some string synthesizer in the middle section. A really nice ballad!
Fortune and Fame is a collaboration song that was written mainly by JoeZworld. He actually wrote everything and the lyric’s. Then I went in and paginated, did the phrasing of the lyric’s and sung the song, did all the production mixing and mastering. The music is awesome and I really like the chorus part that flows so well.
Enjoy a JoeZworld/Aldo Collaboration!
Da da Dee Da is a whimsical little number that the rhythm and vocals just keep laying over one and another. It started by me just playing an acoustic guitar riff over and over. As it progressed I tried adding lyrics but all I kept coming up with is DA da Dee Da in which mimicked the guitar riff. So I took the notes and added a horn section and layered that in the back ground. A sax solo fit in very melodically with that haunting like echo on it. I just kept laying vocals in all ranges and at one point I called my wife in and had her lay down a few vocal laying tracks. In fact the last vocal Da da Dee da you hear as all the other vocals fade out is my wife’s vocal. One thing about this song is that when you hear it once Da da Dee Da will stick in your head for the rest of the day.

Knowledge is Power is one of my favorite songs on the album. The heavy guitar riff leading into the vocals just works so well. The lyrics are interesting as the main guitar riff lends itself to the key vocal line, “knowledge is power”. The full lyric verses were a little more difficult to come up with. I knew what I wanted to convey and say but I could not come up with the words to convey it. Thus, let’s go to google and put in the phrase, “Knowledge is Power”. So many different idea’s started to form around that phrase. The actual phrase was formulated by philosopher Francis Bacon during the time of Enlightenment. I was immersed in many different ways to convey “Knowledge is Power” but now I had to make the words fit into the song and for it to make sense (at least to me). After I got the first verse down and the phrasing to the music, it all clicked and fit in. One of my favorite lines in the song is, “Putting our knowledge we know, In the hands of machines”. The guitar lead comes after the 3rd verse, it follows the acoustic guitar and then comes in heavy and eclectic. Listen to the words as the meanings are profound.
The song, “Losing You” was imagined and created by Kimo. It was an ode to Tom Petty in a way as it was written around the time of Tom’s death. It has a Petty style to it in musicality, words, phrasing and the way it was sung by Kimo. I did all the production and engineering on the song, played bass and did the backing vocals. As this song for me is very different then the genre I usually play in, it was a pleasant difference that it took me a little while to embrace, although it became one of my favorites to listen to with it’s soulful lyrics and harmonica licks in select spots of the song.

“Blurb”
Sorry to say Andy has passed away a few short years ago and he is missed for his inventiveness and creativity
In My Dreams is a bit autobiographical, written with my wife in mind. Certain lines like, “Now it’s just the two of us” is about our children that are now grown up with lives of their own and we only have each other. The chorus is my admiration for my wife and our love together, how I will be true and always love you. The dichotomy of the song is the guitar lead that I wanted Kimo to come up with in which it is similar to Chris Isaak’s, “Wicked Game” lead guitar riff, as I just loved that guitar riff. In wicked game Chris Isaak sings (I really wish I had his voice) just about the opposite of what I’m singing about. Although if you watched the video for “Wicked Game”, he’s making love through most of it with this beautiful babe, Helena Christensen. But he sings about her making him fall in love with her and how wicked that is by her to do that to him and ends with, Nobody loves no one. In My Dreams is a melodic love song with smooth flowing music ending with the subtle rumbling of waves slowly caressing the shoreline.

Joezworld is the master mind behind this song collaboration. “Z” sent me the music pretty much complete and said to me, “put some lyric’s to it”. Literally the first time I heard the song the lyric’s pop into my head and I started singing to it. I immediately pushed the record button and bingo, I had just about all the lyric’s down and the basic phrasing. I spent the next 3 hours refining the flow and tone qualities of the lyric’s. The lyric’s I wrote was about missing someone and how I fucked up in a relationship. I recorded, saved it and sent it back to “Z” to ask him if he liked it. It took a day or two and “Z” responded and it’s funny, he liked what I did and the lyric’s, BUT, he told me he had a totally different take on the theme of “Feels Like Forever”. “Z” said,”it’s a song about coming together rather than falling apart though arguably it’s more difficult to write lyrics about happiness than about sadness.” at that point we laid out some ground rules for long distant collaborations, tell me your thoughts on the song so we are on the same page! At the end “Z” commented, “I like that premise -go with it.” So here you go …..
