while, but we've had this gentleman on a number of times, Ray Coates,
skyping in all the way from across the pond. As we say,
Ray, are you there, I am hey, Absolutely, I'm welerful to
be with you. Yes, it's wonderful to be with you, and it's
great to speak with you again. And love that track for I. In
my mind I was saying kronos, but in the song it sounds like you
pronounce it cronos. I think it's an English thing. Matt, don't worry
about it, all right, Very good, very good. You say pat
potato, I say Patato, although I've never heard anybody say patate only in
the song yeah or tomato. I've only heard that in the in that that
song too exactly. But yes, yes. Uh. By the way,

But the best thing to do so that we can here and enjoy your

Raycoats, give us a call at six O three two five six seven.
Excuse me my allergy. I'll tell you, I don't know what the weather's
like their ray, but here's very warm, and my my, it's it's
I'm gonna have to jump in there, Matt, because it's actually really good.
So so it's unusual to be able to have the opportunity to say the
weather is good here. Yeah, so, no, it's it's it's it's
really good here too. It's it's very warm and uh my, uh my
sinuses have indicated that we're having an early spring. Oh go, yeah,
yeah, funny enough. I'm not a million miles away from Manchester, UK.
Ah, yes, yeah, yeah, I'm in a place called Warrington.
I'm actually in the recording studio today and I thought I must share that
with you. That Yeah, I'm just possibly not even ten miles away there
or thereabouts from Manchester. So we share, we share even more in common.
That's right, that's right. Manchester is such a common name because here
in the United States, there's actually a whole bunch of Manchesters. I like
to think of, Oh yeah, yeah, there's a Manchester, Connecticut.
There's a I don't know, there's a bunch of them. There's a whole
bunch of them, very very common here. But I like to think we're
the best cool and uh, ray, you've got a bunch of new music.
You sent me several tracks. Well, uh we should be able to
get them all in and great stuff, but we can kind of you know,
as we talk about each one, you can tell us you know what's
behind each track and who who officially is the artist on each track. Because
you like to collaborate, and you collaborate with a lot of people, so
you've always got various different projects going. I can't keep it all straight,
but so it's fortuitous that you're here. Yeah, yeah, what what can
you tell us about that song? Cronos or cronos. I think it's a
I think there's an overview. What I've experienced is expand and that's why I
create so much with so many different people, and I think that's an experience
I share for others, not just for myself, but over so on.
The architects of passion is me in a lot of projects I do. Generally,
I tend to be the vocalist. In many occasions i'm the lyricist,
although that's not always the case. But it's basically it's about time and for
me, so many references to a cronus or chronos in everyday language, chronology,
chronometer, so many references, and I think the message is make the
most of the bit in between, you know, make the most of them
now, So it's a very very positive message. So regardless of wherever we
are, wherever we are supposed difference is not a great fan of that that
it's now, you know, the bit in between. I was born in
nineteen sixty five, I'm still here. I am here, and I'm aiming
to be here for as long as I possibly can. So it's the bit
in between. But often, you know, people think about the year of
birth and an end, and I think the message in the song is we
are here, quite simple, so make the most of it, make every
moment count, And that's a very positive message to share. No, I
think that's a very very positive message. It's something I try to do and
fail at consistently. Maybe I should listen to that song more. I am
tom. I mean, my problem, Ray is I live in a perpetual
state of existential dread. And it's probably not a good thing, probably not
great. The only the only thing I would say is there's there's grounds for
it, so it's not it's not unreal, is it? And I think
I certainly wouldn't say I I live in the opposite of that. I think
it's just through the means I use I just feel a very strong passion.
That's where the passion comes from. And connecting in enabling others. It is
not trying to change minds or hearts per se, just using what I've got.
Some people some people cook. Some people cook, you know, they
provide beautiful meals for other people. Some people paint. I write songs and
sing them. I'm really dumbing it down now, But what's behind it is
the fuel is the desire to connect and the desire to enable people. Because
we live in a very very scary world. So anything that we can do
to help to realize there is more, There is more than that which we
you know, we see and that we're we're worried about. So yeah,
keep listening to the song though, Yeah, yeah I will, I might,
I might might make it part of my daily meditation. We'll see.
No, it is, it is. It is really beautiful. And now,
so the songs that you sent me, so you sent me for that,
that's one of them and we'll get the other three in. But are
these are these collaborations with different people, because like I said, you you
are such a prolific collaborator. It's I I can't keep track of of of
who you're working with on? What are these all over Saul songs? I
didn't they're not I didn't think so, yeah, that's the only one.
The others are my birth name Breakoats as a as a performer. But the
others are even more collaboration than the song that you've just played, shake it
Up. And there are five versions of the same song, so they were
all collaborated with different people, and the basic premises, same lyrics. An
incredible human being in the UK, Caroline Brown, that's fantastic with words.
And we've collaborated a couple of times previously, so same lyrics, same vocalist
me, same four chord progression. And I suppose in some ways I'm going
to kind of be open and honest because I feel I am with you is
I kind of was getting a bit tired and a bit fed up of,
you know, this plastic way of the music business, particularly, and I'm
in my fifties trying to make my way musically. I love what I do,
but I'm kind of starting a career, I guess you could say,
at the other end of life, which is not usual you and I thought,
okay, what can I do differently? So rather than thinking murmur horrible.
You know, I wish I was younger, you know, I would
be able to do more. Then I thought, no, you know,
I need to do something a little bit differently. So the basic idea came
up with five versions of the same song, all released at the same time,
and as far as I know, nobody has ever done that before.
So in a way, if I'm doing anything, I'm sharing, think outside
the box, do things differently and shake it up. There's Spin one,
which I know you're going to play, Spin two, Spin three, Spin
four, and Spin five. I'm now with a band who is Dan So
ours is the fifth version, and they're all different because they would they would
be because they're all different people and different collaborations. And I just I'm doing
that. I'm shaking it up, creating a reform in in my own way.
You know what's cool about that ray is it reminds me of when I
was a kid. If there was a song I particularly liked, the one
of the most thrilling things in the world to me would be when I would
find a remix of that song. Yeah, you know, and it's like,
you know, because it's like this great song that now, oh,
there's this other version, you know, and it would kind of renew the
song for me. You know, it's like, oh I already really liked
this song. Now I like it even more. There's this other version.
And I remember too getting these. You know, Vinyl obviously never went away,
and in some ways it's there's more Vinyl than ever. But I remember
when I was a kid, you know, these Vinyl albums would come out
that were actually you know, they called them seven inch they were just you
know, full of remixes. You know, you could get a song and
then several different versions of the song, just different mixes. You know,
there might be a dance mix, there might be a rock mix, whatever.
And I just I always loved that. That's why I'm someone too who
I was always I like when people because not everyone's into it, you know,
when people take other people's music and remix it or sample it or whatever
configuration they're using it and using existing music to create new configurations of that music.
But I've always loved that. I love it ever since I was a
kid. You know, the mash up. The mashup is I think it's
a real art form. Oh yeah, I really do. When people can
you know, weave together different parts of different songs and actually make a new
structure again. It's like it's like cooking, isn't It's different ingredients and people
are mixing them and that that's infinite. That's infinite what you can achieve.
So and you've kicked off, in my mind, a twelve inch version of
one of the Shake It Up songs on vinyl oh vinyls making a massive,
massive comeback, So that could be a few future prospects as well. And
I think it's this, if things don't work the way they want to work
for you, find your own way, make your own way. And that's
that's basically what I did, And I'll be open and honest. It came
a little bit from thinking, I feel like I'm banging my headquains to brick
wall. But what I chose to do is stop doing that and think the
wall's not going to fall down by you banging your head against Try a different
way. And that's us as humans, isn't it. We find a way
to reinvent things and do things, and that's that's what Shake it Up is.
So if I'm going to give listeners any advice, you know, try
if you can to have a listen to all five because it's a really really
interesting experience because they are so different, so different. Well we should play.
Let's let's play the version that you sent me. Now, so this
is so, this is shaken up. This is what do you call it?
Version and one mix one. Let's spin spin one, oh, spin
one, yes, yes, all right, let's give let's give this a
listen. Now, although some people might not know what you mean by spin,
but then we'll just remind people there are there are such a thing as
as vinyl records, and uh, you know, and and and way back
in the day, that's what they used to do in radio. They would
they would actually uh put on put on vinyl records and play them. But
uh, all right, let's give this a listen. So this is the
spin one version of a shake It Up. And this is this is not
over soul, correct, this is Ray Coats, Raycoats featuring Caroline Brown.
It's actually got the lyricist Caroline Brown her voice. Oh okay, okay,
cool, all right, let's give this a listen. Here it is shake
it Up Spin one, this shake it up right now, just shake it
up, shaky God, the truth be off shaking my wondrous spin. Let's
get the ripon even there, just a moment to sap the cli and the
suffocating skin, the shaking a riding down the shagar riding. Now, let's
shake it up body now, shot shot you shake it up and shaded prospicidity
doesn't man a bit. The great sun cats drive and blind calling wildly.
We can't have a banging headscains the wall. The shake it a right now,
let's shake here of d now see lit's see here up right now,
listen up, shave it up, waiting at the hope, struck numb by
rules that make no sense at all. Let's see here last right now,
let's open up the door. Let's shake it up right now, Let's utilize
the power. Let's shake it up right now. You'll shake it up right
now. Let's shave here up right now. Just shave it up right now.
Let's shot up right now. That is very very catchy, shake it
up, shake it up, spin one, what's that right? You're not
going to igno, right, are you? That is catchy as hell.
I was sitting here. I was sitting here, you know, I'm often
holding a pen and I'm sitting here tapping the pen on my knee while it's
playing. Yeah, really really good. Ray Coates is here with us via
Skype, all the way from the UK, and that is shaking up Spin
one with Caroline Brown. That's who's on there with you. That's it.
That's it, absolutely, yeah, yeah, really good. I love the
Where do you record? I'm sure I've asked you this before because I love
them the way that sounds. It's in near to Warrington is the best place
I can describe. And it's funny because I've heard Mark playing the guitar this
morning, so as I'm listening to these tracks, I'm remembering and he's such
a wonderful guy, Mark, and he's not particularly one of the people that
comes into social media, which I totally totally understand and respect, but so
intechral to everything I do. I come to Mark often with an idea of
a song and he just puts so much incredible particular guitar energy into it and
you know, takes it onto a different level. As you could hear,
particularly in that song as well, the guitar solos are amazing. The uh
the first thing that I noticed is the drums are Now are those are those
real? Drums or are those program drums? Because they sound they sound real
programmed, Thank you, they're the program. But but funny enough with the
band. Now with who is Dan? It's me Rob Fox, a drummer,
and Chris Mikael guitarist. So now we're actually recording if you listen to
Spin five, so shake it up, Spin five? Who is Dan?
That is all completely real instruments. Okay, and yeah, so it's it
is different. You're right, but it does. It does sound authentic,
doesn't it. It's amazing the drum sounds you can get now. You know,
way back, I remember when when you know that the technology wasn't quite
there as far as you know, like you could sort of tell, you
know, I mean, I'm talking like thirty years ago. You could kind
of tell when when drums were programmed because a lot of you know, if
you if you go on YouTube, you can find a lot of demos of
bands from you know, way back, you know, demos that were never
supposed to be heard by the public. You're only supposed to hear the finished
product. But these things leak out and they get on YouTube and then you
can hear you know, you can often hear program drums and these demos and
you can tell. But now it's just amazing, Like those drums just sound
really good, really punchy, you know, and obviously very important to the
song. Really kind of drives the song. And and and now in terms
of your your collaborating and you even't you haven't had me do uh for something,
I was going to say that, I was going to say that thank
you, which is part of a project of the next two songs, so
that works, which is with a gentleman named John Sheatham. I'll keep the
message brief, but this is pretty much what John shares. He was in
real estate, in property in the UK, and it took him to a
couple of different countries, but particular particularly Bulgaria, and long story short,
as part of a real estate deal Bulgaria went in the EU at the time,
John was shot by the Bulgaria mafia because they didn't want this ground to
be purchased. And it was by a gentleman that had asked John, can
you can you come with me to Bulgaria to you know, clinch this deal?
And John was effectively left for dead. And it's a it's a it's
an absolutely astonishing count I've sent you an electronic copy of the book Fall Guy.
I would strongly recommend anybody you know. It's we're taking it from a
book to film, which is sense where the soundtracks coming in. And Horsepower
the song that you very very kindly gave your incredible voice, and it worked
so well, and I knew it would. You're effectively without knowing it yet.
You are the horse race commentator and you're commentating on John's life and that
will go into the song Horsepow, which will be part of the soundtrack album.
And John is just he's a living miracle. How this guy is still
alive. And it's not just the shooting, it's what happened afterwards. So
this is going to become a film, no doubt. We've got some people
interested, but we're looking to reach out to people as well. So that's
a massive collaboration project at the moment that we're working on. And your voice
is absolutely perfect in not just your voice, but the way you deliver it.
It fits so well and you'll get to hear that. Oh wow,
yeah, I can't wait. Thank you. Yeah, I was very very
honored that you asked me to do that, And yeah, that's quite a
story he has. I mean, you know how many people have you met
who can say they were shot by the Bulgarian mafia for one thing? Jeez?
Absolutely, absolutely, And he's just one of those people that and he's
a phenomenal lyricist. That's where we create and we're working on this current project,
but also others. And I think it's when you've only got two arms
and two legs as much as you can in life, you want to try
and grow a few more arms and legs. I think you know where I'm
going, and that's where I'm coming from with incredible lyricists, because predominantly I'm
a lyricist, but ironically I have all these people around me that create these
words that then create the inspiration musically and me for the projects that are being
shared. And full Guy is it's going to be an incredible piece of work.
And the two songs so far fall Guy is the single that's released,
Cry is going to be an exclusive. This has never been played on a
radio station. Ever, It's not released until next Friday, so the two
songs are going to be exclusive plays, particularly in America as well. Oh
very cool. Okay, Well, let's let's give Fall Guy a spin,
Shall we wonderful? All right? All right here it is. This is
fall guy Raycoat's live with us, skyping in all the way from the UK.
Check this out. So we are made to take a far scan that
was now in fun passes by, happy to collect body damage, mind rap
surrounded by side as all ramp racing through that cold. What's happened? Do
you rest? Up? Signs fusifully telegraph lights days and you shine at days
you hide the vein whilst looking down on your scene the plates. You know,
sometimes it's just a lake the sun signs. We are made to take
a farm. No matter understand, No man don't know the raison up became
the foul quote un coming is the echo woe as they did part and disperse,
trolley dest white coat wool all over the way. Too soon heavies came
and throw me away. Unfortunately left him a little too lame sometime so be
froze and passed down jumping must since I days then you shine, and days
you hid the way I was looking down on you see fag. You know,
sometimes it's just made some signs. We are made to take your father,
No man said, No man, tell no reason why African the farm
girl one lay down until a firmer graund I can stay near the angels amplified
sound. Now this no escape out to fight. I've just simply lost my
life to sign signs be on me to take kerfoon. You never say no,
how to reason? Why became to fun guy? To no reason?
Why became to the phone guy? Fun guy? Oh that is cool,
fall guy. We have ray coats with us, Yes, Skype and uh
what that could be? Uh that could be a James Bond theme, ray
perfect, your your your ears are a tru And that's it. That's it.
Really, that's how I see it. I when I wrote the song
and as it formed, and especially now in the form it is in,
I often close my eyes and think of the screening because I've read John's story,
I've read his life. Those are his words. He's the lyricist.
So I picture, I picture images, and it's such a such a powerful
story. It's it could sound like many things in life morbid. But we
can't we can't avoid. We can't avoid. You mentioned earlier, you know,
the scary things in life. But the amazing thing is, as many
people do, John's live to tell the tale and it's for him to share
more than me in a way. But I'm just genuinely incredibly privileged to be
beside somebody who is a warrior, a victor and just such an incredible grounded
human being who has been no shadow of a doubt to hell n back and
to be with him is incredible. We're going to be across to the US
in the future. I know that John loves to travel, so you might
have to try and get rid of us, but but it will be it
will be a pleasure to share, particularly horsepower. I'm very excited about that.
So there's much to come, much to come from myself and John.
And uh yeah, and you've still got that Uh do do people tell you
this or is it just me to me? You've really got that Bowie vibe?
I have had that before, And well, yes, thank you very
much. I'll totally accept that. Yeah, yeah, absolutely absolutely, that's
now. So when is that gonna When is the full album going to be
out? For that date wise? Great question. I think it's around about
June. Were gradual doing it a little bit slightly old school, I guess,
releasing a couple of singles. So fall guys out now, already that's
available everywhere. Yeah, cry Next, then we have two songs I will
name them now. I'm quite happy to do that, Folklore and Tales.
I'm actually working on that today. I've had a very very victorious song called
Run for the Roses. They're going to be the singles to begin with,
and then the album will come out, which will include songs Vices, Horsepower,
Thoughts, Time, and also a spoken version of full Guy. So
John's voice is going to be included. I'm very much about integrating and embedding
the spirit of people and voices and energy, so you know, I like
that. I love the thought of voices being included in things of people that
are part of the project. It's like, for example, Caroline and Shake
it Up. So, yeah, do you do you collaborate with people from
I mean obviously you know you had had me do something. Have you collaborated
with other people from America? No? No, not not recently. Have
in the past, have in the past, but not recently, so a
couple of years ago. But definitely want to. I mean, I'd love
that, I will not I'd love I will I will be over and it's
got to happen. I want to create with as many people as I possibly
can. So when you agreed to add in your voice, it is just
it's so great, isn't it When you know you connect with people and what
you do and your your voice as it comes through the airwaves, and you
think, it's just so many opportunities to spin that off, no pun,
intense, spin that off into other things. And I think that's what I
want to do because I feel the more we can share together, the better.
Well, well, that's the thing I often marvel it's uh, and
I comment on it and on the show, is that it's an amazing time
to be alive because you know, we have the ability with the technology that
we have to to be able to collaborate with people so easily. You know,
you can email files back and forth. And you know, had had
we had we existed, you know a few decades earlier, you know,
we would have missed out on that. So it's it's really I think in
a way that kind of goes back to what you were saying earlier. You
know, you were talking about living in the moment that song chronos and you
know, focusing on the now, and it's you know, if you if
you do stop and think about it. The now is pretty incredible, you
know. I mean, we're both old, and we're both old enough to
remember you know, when uh, you know, a pre internet, you
know, you you go to the record store. And don't get me wrong,
I have wonderful memories of being a kid and going to the record store
and flipping through and finding things or CDs. You know. But but now,
you know, we have access to so much and and we can collaborate
easily with people in other parts of the world, and it really is pretty
remarkable when you think about, you know, and people get people get nervous
about technology too because of AI and things, and that's a whole other subject
that we discuss sometimes on the show. But but but it's but it's pretty
hard to be negative on you know, some people are technophobic, but it's
pretty hard to be negative on technology and the grand scheme of things when you
think of how it enhances our lives and in all kinds of ways. But
creatively, I mean, it's just what it does for us is pretty remarkable,
totally agreement, and like all things in life, it depends on how
it's used. So there's there's nothing wrong with a knife. A knife is
not a bad thing. A car is not a bad thing. Hands are
not bad things. It depends on how they used, right. So technology
is not within itself a bad thing, right, It depends on how it's
used. So I think the key thing is focus on, very very carefully
the intention of everything, and not in a sense that is just a cliched
throwaway. Well, I'm using it for a good purpose. Many people could
argue that for many different things. But I think for me and what encouraging
others is whatever it is, you've got, use it to the greatest good
you possibly can for yourself and of course, by extension, for others.
And the more we do that with whatever it is, then the greater the
experiences for us and for others. And I look at creativity in the same
way. There's no threat, there's no competition, there's nothing to be afraid
of because the thing will be more with more people, and that's really integral
to everything I do. Totally right. We couldn't have done in a way
what we did, which was relatively smooth when you think about it. Oh
yeah, of you sharing, as you say, a vocal file, a
wab file that now is in the song and I'd love to be able to
have the opportunity when it's completed to come back and play. Oh definitely,
of course, Oh absolutely absolutely, Ray. But before we before it gets
too late, I want to make sure that our listeners know where to keep
up with everything that you're doing, everything that you're going on, you're always
creating, you're always collaborating. What's the best way for people to follow you
and keep up with you. I think when I've worked out how I can
keep up with me, then I think probably then fair enough. No,
website is probably the easiest placed. At my name, I'm very approachable,
but the website is Raycoats That co a t E Voice dot com, so
Raycoats Voice dot com. Across social media Raycoats or Raycoat's Voice. I wanted
just to quickly say before we move on, to give a public thank you
to my partner, Michelle Roach. And to be able to do what I
do, which is a lot, and over the last few years it's expanded
and extended. You need to be surrounded by good people. Michelle isn't feeling
particularly well at the moment, just generally not particularly feeling very well, so
I wanted just to say a public thank you. There's no kind of flowering
ness in that. I can't not mention Michelle because we've written together. She
supported what I'm doing and has enabled the majority of what I share now.
Wanted just to give a public gratitude to the show. Oh, very nice,
very nice. No, I think that's that's wonderful. And you know,
hope she feels better and yeah, no, that's very good, very
good. Ray, Well, in a moment, we're gonna play well,
we'll finish out the segment with this track cry and uh so I get this
will be the world radio premire. This hasn't been played anywhere else. Completely
very cool, very cool, and anything you want to tell us about this
track specifically before we before we play it without over explaining. It is John's
return back to the UK from Bulgaria because of his injuries that were serious.
It took him four and a half years to walk and talk again. Wow,
he lost his property, he was living in the people he was working
for at the time. Most of the names in the book have been changed
because there's a number of safeguarding issues in terms of no doubt John, He's
had to change change a few names, but the person he was working within
the real estate was didn't take good care of John at all. So John
John was just basically hung out to dry and cry. The cover artwork so
when people look for this when it's released officially next Friday, is John on
the cover outside the property that he lost as a result of his life changing
injuries and the financial reversal he faced, and the songs about where he was
living. So it's very emotional, but it's it finishes. I want to
share this message so that the song represents all of us. We've all had
those days. Some days, we've all we've all had those periods where we
just want to cry and we just need to cry. So it's a representation
of real, real deep level emotion and exercising those feelings through through crying,
through crying, that's what cry is. Yeah, very good and as you
uh you know, as your reference, it's relatable. We all, uh,
we all have those moments. But wow, boy, what he all
though. You know, I don't know really anybody who's been through what he's
been through on that scale. So very interesting. So we will, uh
we'll play that in a moment, but and uh, we'll let you We'll
let you go Ray, thank you so much for joining us today, though,
my friend, it's always such a pleasure to talk to you, and
you know, and and uh you remind you remind me of some positive things,
you know, in terms of living in the moment and stuff. I
don't you know, I I I, I don't just uh say that to
say it. I I. It's good to be reminded, you know what
I mean. We need it, absolutely, absolutely all right, So we'll

yeah, we'll we'll, we'll we'll be together again, absolutely all right,
Thanks Ray. And uh here it is. This is called fry. I
thought I heard the buildings cry as I casually walked on by him. I'm
my way to meet a friend. First thing, she said, Get those
thoughts out of your head. I want this now to end. Go and
smash down glass scenings, seek out those opportunities, open up that lonesome locktop,
just like you've done for years before. You may lose a battle.
But when long Halla wanted to do his side, hall I wanted to do
is cry right through the nath Hall. I want to do is cry bout
a pear from the inside. Hall I wanted to do his cry, cry,
cry, cry out loud. We kissed and said our goodbye. Then
I began to realize the power everything that she said, raised those things out
of your head on the snout said, So I'm went and smashed down those
ceilings, shot up those opportunities. Don't that long slocktow, just like I
done for years before. Remember how may lose about him? Like when Lord,
all I had to do was cry. All I had to do was
cribed on doing that. All I had to do was cry out a bat
a way from the inside. All I had to do was cry and cry
and cry and cry. How love? The building is just a place in
the memory's high It's not a home without you on the inside. We need
to smash down those ceilings, seek out our opportunities, open up that along
some later, just like we've done movie is before. Remember we may lose
a battle, but we'll always win the war. Some days we are we
need to cry. Some days we are we need to cry out the life.
Some days we are needed to cry up at me from me inside.
Some days we all want to cry, cry, cry, cry, out
alone crad re captivating when you look at you like that, intoxicating with a
texta to pie reality manipulating with a hint. If you sweeten mass a little
cinnam then electrifies show. But take accelerating when you're touching me like that.
Celebrated for the other green sweety eating when you've been for the weak mass.
