Julio Rey – Old Glory (download at Area1234)

First finished product using GarageBand and I am not disappointed. Wrote the whole thing in the last couple of weeks. Soft vocal, acoustic guitar, bass played almost like a drum, rockabilly chugging guitar and some atmospheric GarageBand keyboards played on keypad. Straddles the line between folk and rockabilly with some drumless reggae backbeat at the [...]

Lyric: Old Glory

Old Glory In the days of blood and courageAs history wrote her next pageThe farmers spoke a kingdom over aleThey drew the borders and dug inAgainst a king and parliaments whimAnd old glory flew over it all Lofty ideals forever flyBut the real world costs a real priceAnd there’s no telling how tallThe whiskey farmers [...]

Lyric: Not Noble The Struggle

A pretentious manic depressive lyric I was writing… Not Noble The Struggle Tears they fell on seventh gradePerfect storm did not abateAge and time ate at my homeWhat I deserved left me aloneNot many pieces left to retrieveNor many people I could deceiveSo I lied from myselfEvery casual moment life and death The neatest times [...]

Julio Rey – No Religion (Lead oldie live)

Julio Rey – No Religion (Lead oldie live)

I got my kids a new computer which means I can now sneak in and do some primitive editing and add tolerable amounts of some of my boring pre-song patter onto these vids. I’m really happy with this guitar sound for the harder-edged older punky stuff when I play it unaccompanied. It’s kind of a [...]

Julio Rey – Glass Of Water (live, Coldplay cover)

Julio Rey – Glass Of Water (live, Coldplay cover)

Actually the first time I tried out a Coldplay song at church. It’s a bit of a train wreck due to my not knowing the words to the tune as intimately as I do now and guitar crapped out in mid chorus for a few seconds. Tried to make up for it by yelling. Hey, [...]
