  • [Single] Stray Cats’ Waltz

    Stray Cats' Waltz - Latte Chill

    Third single from Cherryland – a Dark Cherry lofi cover compilation.
    Stray Cats’ Waltz is a song that was performed many times in 2010.

    What can I say about this song. I have so much. As for the title, it was the actual working title of the song (later known as ‘Holdkeringő’ which stands for Moon Waltz in Hungarian).

    Kyoki, the original author gave it and I liked this title so much to use it while working on the cover.

    The lyrics where written by me. It is vaguely about Romeo and Juliet of Shakespeare. On top of that I even sing some words in archaic way to make it sound old as a song.

    This song was recorded in studio and was released on our second studio single as a B-side song. We performed it in several towns and on several gigs despite its classical vibe.

    Fun fact maybe that the drums are mixing rhythm at the end between 3/4 and 4/4 if I recall it well. It took weeks for Cay to practice so that he can play the changes while listening to the 4/4 metronome that helps him keeping the tempo.

  • [Single] Lie

    Lie Dark Cherry cover

    Lie is a lofi cover song of my old band, Dark Cherry. We performed it between 2008 and 2011 several times on stage.

    I shot the cover photo in Venice many years before. I think in a way it offers a good vibe, matching the song. But give it a spin and let me know.

    As it is an old cover song, it is fully free, enjoy it by clicking on the cover and grabbing the song. Or check the embed block below~

    The song was originally composed by Kyoki, lyrics by OB (aka Latte Chill – that would be me~). I decided to rework it after 13 years in breakbeat style~

    It was recorded by the end of 2010 in our home town Szeged. We had many gigs featuring this song. I know the quality is not the best but my give a hint of what we where like.

  • [Single] Alice

    alice

    Old, 10+ year old Dark Cherry song reimagined: this is Alice, my latest single. Read more to learn about it below.

    Alice was originally released in 2009 by Dark Cherry and guess what? It was inspired by Alice in Wonderland – what a surprise!

    The song infuses the dream world, the fight for truth and the madness that can be found in everyone. As a result the original song was pretty heavy to be honest.

    I mean match it with the song I reworked after listening to the original (demo) version. It was a pretty difficult task. Nevertheless, I enjoyed working on an experiment like this.

    Actually, this song is the first of a long lasting project called Cherryland. As Dark Cherry is more than 15 years old now, I believe it is high time reworking some of our hits.

    Did you check both songs?

    Which one do you like better?

    I guess it is a question of taste, still not an easy decision. The lyrics are pretty straightforward and it was impossible to convey this message through the instrumental cover.

    Also heaviness of the song is losing its touch, when I turn off the amp and lover bass distortion, right?
