This is the first song of a new serial, which will become hopefully a new heartsore-album at the end of 2017.
Before you hit the Play-button and get a heart-attack you should read this first: Over the last year I have posted Surf-songs, Surf-arrangements of movie-themes, String-arrangements of Steely Dan songs, a Horror-Metal track, a Soul-Ballad and an Orchestra track with vocals in the tradition of late romantic and Hollywood. In 2017 I want to come back to the kind of tracks, which heartscore is known for. First I plan to rerecord my 2007 album „Many directions“. Second I will come up with a brand new heartscore-album, which will introduce a radical change in style while keeping some of the key-elements of the heartscore-project. I see the new album as a direct follower of my 2004 album „Straight to the brain“, which also contained elements of Metal and was very guitar-driven. The latter albums went more in the progressive rock direction with diversified instrumentation and less aggressive guitar-work.
You can expect the following ingredients:
1. Face-melting brutal Metal-guitars
2. Analogue-style electronic drums
3. Synth bass
4. Choir arrangements
5. Strange song-structures
6. Many odd measures and tempo-changes
7. Poly-rhythms
8. Poems by Stephen Crane
9. Short songs, less solo-parts
About the song: I was immediately impressed by this poem by Stephen Crane and it inspired me for the whole concept. I try to support the meaning of the words musically. For an example the vocal line goes up to a syllabic line, when the poem says „in the sky“. Also the motif of climbing is adopted by a raising vocal-line. In the chorus-section I go to another chord, which is a bit far away, while the poem is on the words „strange part“. There are two main tempo-sections with 120bpm and 108bpm. On the word clay I go down to 72bpm to support the picture of clay, where you can stick easily. The poem is a great picture for the ambitions of the human being and maybe the false shine of wealth.

lyrics
A man saw a ball of gold in the sky;
He climbed for it,
And eventually he achieved it --
It was clay.
Now this is the strange part:
When the man went to the earth
And looked again,
Lo, there was the ball of gold.
Now this is the strange part:
It was a ball of gold.
Aye, by the heavens, it was a ball of gold.
(Stephen Crane)

Do you like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden or Manowar?

Far out is an excellent descriptor for GOATS latest release. While saying that, if feels personal and nostalgic at times too. Never a dull moment as they say. It’s just really cool. Take a listen to it.. Acef Stripe
