The List Goes On And On...

The List Goes On And On...?

When I stumbled across Ren and heard her incredible voice, I knew straight away that I really wanted to write a song for her. 'Safe' is the result. Ren's thoughtful lyrics paint a poignant picture of a difficult situation, in which one is trapped and desperate to leave, in the hope that they can feel safe again.

You can contact her at https://soundcloud.com/renfaye-1

Lyrics are below:

I know...you are near...when the lights go...out...

I can't, think straight
When I'm next to you,
I'm out of place,
When your words cut through
Like glass, I'm little tiny pieces in the mirror,
Shrink myself now
Pretend that I'm not here
Printer ink run out...

I can't breathe right,
Like I did before,
Losing my fight,
Stays behind closed doors...

And all,
All I can hear...
Is the raised-voice sound
I know, that you are near...

To, feel safe (All I ever wanted)
Safe, from you... (and the rasied-voice sound)
Safe,
All I've ever wanted
To feel safe from you...

And I try and I try but there's no escape,
In my sleep I crash down wild-awake
Visualising, of a time when
I can be free

As I exhale,
Into the cold air,
Open my eyes,
You won't find me there
And all, all I can hear...
Is the raised-voice sound
I know,
That you are near,
When the lights go out...

...and the raised-voice sound
(ooh...ahhh)
When the lights go...
Safe,
All I've ever wanted to feel,
Safe,
From you.
Take,
there is nothing much left.
That I can,
Take,
With me.

Ah...ah...
Oooh...ooh
Ahh...Ahh
Ahh...ahh..ahh

Safe,
All I've ever wanted,
To feel
Safe,
From me...
Safe,
There is nothing much left
That I can take,
With me

Ahh...

I know that...
You are near...
When the lights...
Go...

Out...

Safe (feat. Ren Faye)

Sometimes when life feels hard it doesn't feel like God is around but he is always here. This song deals with those lonely feelings but also remembering that Jesus is always with us.

Talking To Myself

I have written this song for all people and creatures who suffer from the increasing resurgence of right-wing populist and repressive political systems

Lyrics in English:

The murderers are still among us
They are further called "Hinz" and "Kunz"
Are completely anonymous and nameless

Arisen from the womb
Who unites them in hatred of foreigners

White as a sheet in their souls
The heritage makes them great again

The murder legacy is now starting:

They may vomit again
Insulting, groping, staring at women
Ripping Jews Kipas from their heads
Shitting on PoC their need

Lighting homeless people at night
Inventing the Holocaust as a lie

Never again!
Turn off the brown light
Never again!
A mortuary house 
Never again!
Mass murder as a plan
The banality of evil is sneakily creeping up
Never again!
Never again!

The language is diluted
It targets the lowest instinct
Pretends to be "The People"
Invades the angle of revenge of bitter souls

Arouses envy of those who are at the top
And those who are supposedly getting better
Until a legimitation is created for them:

To kick, to beat, to torture, to rush
To sharpen the weapons against the alleged invasion
To pillory those again who think differently 
To swell the national chicken breast
To set nasty traps for those who are declared vermin
To ennoble the betrayal
To gag the deviants dead 
To wriggle themselves superiority with the tail of the power demon

Never again!
Turn off the brown light
Never again!
A mortuary house 
Never again!
Mass murder as a plan
The banality of evil is sneakily creeping up
Never again!
Never again!

Deutscher Originaltext:

Nie wieder!

Die Mörder sind noch immer unter uns
Sie heißen weiter "Hinz" und "Kunz"
Sind ganz gesicht- und namenlos

Entsprungen aus dem Mutterschoß
Der Sie vereint im Fremdenhaß

In ihrer Seele leichenblaß 
Macht sie das Erbe wieder groß

Das Mordvermächtnis legt jetzt los:

Sie dürfen wieder kotzen
Frauen beschimpfen, begrapschen, anglotzen
Juden Kipas niederreißen
Auf PoC ihre Notdurft scheißen
Obdachlose nachts anzünden
Den Holocaust als Lüge erfinden

Nie wieder!
Macht das Braunlicht aus
Nie wieder!
Ein Leichenberge-Haus 
Nie wieder!
Massenmord als Plan
Die Banalität des Bösen kriecht schleichend heran
Nie wieder!
Nie wieder!

Die Sprache ist verdünnt
Zielt auf den niedersten Instinkt
Gibt vor "Das Volk" zu sein
Dringt in den Rachewinkel bitt‘rer Seelen ein

Schürt Neid auf jene, die da oben stehen
Und jene, denen es angeblich besser geht
Bis eine Legimitation für Sie entsteht:

Zu treten, zu schlagen, zu foltern, zu hetzen
Die Waffen gegen die vermeintliche Invasion zu wetzen
An den Pranger zu stellen 
Die nationale Hühnerbrust zu schwellen
Den zum Ungeziefer Erklärten fiese Fallen zu stellen
Den Verrat zu veredeln
Die Abweichler tot zu knebeln 
Sich mit dem Schwanz des Machtdämons Überlegenheit zuzuwedeln

Nie wieder!
Macht das Braunlicht aus
Nie wieder!
Ein Leichenberge-Haus 
Nie wieder!
Massenmord als Plan
Die Banalität des Bösen kriecht schleichend heran
Nie wieder!
Nie wieder!

Nie wieder! - Never again!

Nie Wieder! - Never Again! (Lyrics in English in the Intro)

ICE FROM THE SKY

2020 janine levinson

I woke up this morning to ice from the sky
In my little piece of paradise
It should be warm; it should be temperate
And yet, ice from the sky

It's dry! so dry! said the ground to the sky
In my little piece of paradise
It should be flowing where I have flourished
And yet it's terribly dry

Withering and shrinking; waiting for a drink
A sprout or two will rise -- but never climb to the sky

I woke up this morning with tears in my eyes
in my little piece of paradise
I should feel warm and be contented
and yet, tears in my eyes

Muttering and sinking; watching for a cloud
A spout or two will rise -- but never a drop from the sky

A quake could shake the ground 
And if a tear were to hit it right
It would split with an awful sound
And day would turn to night

The sky could fall --be upside down
The clouds my bed  -- the stars my ground
The heavens pour and burn my toes
Ice will fly.  Still nothing grows.

I woke up this morning to ice from the sky
In my little piece of paradise
It should be warm; it should be temperate
And yet, ice from the sky

Ice From The Sky

One year later - 
dedicated to my father.

Erinnerung

My humble tribute to Rick Wakeman-

I’m lying on my back
As I watch the clouds
I’m turning down the noise
Because it’s much too loud
It’s easy to get distracted 
From what is real
It’s easy to get confused
About the way you feel
Sometimes you have to
Just slow things down
And remember the joy 
You once found
Sometimes you have to
Just slow things down
And remember the joy 
You once found

Silent Standing
(D/L available at www.terrywigmore.com)

This is a very mean & moody Gibbo stood standing, silently singing ...more than thoughtful...leaning his back against his decaying doorway...
Terry somewhere in the chancellery, nonchalantly flipping a coin, with something nasty on one side and a worn out memory on the other. Offering some hope? Maybe not...
Me? Well, I'm in the toilet, with a grumbling bass whilst spouting a slightly sinister 'Andrews Sisters' thing :-)

This is just what we do...

Silent Standing

1) I can't quite remember, how it got to this
One moment you were there and then you're gone
But I stood silent in the doorway staring at the space you used to be.
And I stood silent in the doorway staring at the space you used to be.

2) But I can still recall your elegance and grace
As you shattered what was two and made it one
But I stood silent in the doorway staring at the space you used to be.
And I stood silent in the doorway staring at the space you used to be.

She moves like a flower in the chancelleries of spring...spring...
She moves...like a flower in the spring

(Repeat V.2)

…And I stood silent in the doorway staring at the space you used to be.........

I had enjoyed hearing some of the great reverb used by
one of our excellent SoundCloud composers, 
Ricardo Da Silva:  https://soundcloud.com/hobbits-odyssey
he advised me on the Spaces 2 reverb from EastWest.

So, I took it for a test ride on this composition.

I started off with what I thought was an original idea,
but it occurred to me how much it kept feeling 
like it could be built on top of Vangelis's score, Alpha.

So, I decided to wander off into an homage of a scant segment of Alpha.

As I was finishing it off, the final chords sounded a lot like
Bach's Toccata in D minor,
...so what the heck...
Since the instrument I had built for this song 
sounded almost good enough to substitute for a baroque organ, 
I just went with it.

Maybe a dash of Ave Maria in a slightly different light, as well.

Remembering my wedding proposal...

COME ON LET’S GO

Let me invite you to fly away
And catch your dreams
We’ll sleep on the moon
And find the mirror of our souls
Don’t be afraid to let go
While you find you don’t belong here no more
Let’s go   let’s go    let’s go   let’s go   let’s go

Come on it’s time to go
Siting on the moon
As I play a tune
To dance with the sun
You might think
That I’m out of my mind
So what!
All I wanna do is to be in my dreams with you
Don’t cry  don’t sigh, don’t’ fear
As we’re near each other our dreams will come true, oh yeah
Come on let’s go, let’s go. Let’s go, let’s go!

There’s no time to look back
My tune is in the air
As the sun smiles come on let’s dance away
Close your eyes and open your mind
All we gotta do is to be in our dreams together.
It’s time to smile
It’s time to get higher
As we go to the sun for our honeymoon, oh yeah!
Come on let’s go, oh yeah  let’s go!

Please don’t wake up
Yesterday becomes tomorrow
And today will never end
Open your eyes and give me your smile
While you see your dreams come true
As you dance with the sun!
Don’t cry, don’t sigh, don’t fear
As we´re near each other our dreams will come true
Oh yeah, come on let’s go

COME ON LETS GO (Alfonso Llorente)

Take a special time to listen to this track / listen loud enough ! / please enJoy !

Afternoon Sunshine

Just another old one man band unsigned musician who sings and plays a little guitar, bass & drums and fools around on the piano; expert in writing songs that usually disappear with the wind, and in composing musical flops.  Folks say that I´m a composer, but I think they´re wrong: I just download the music I hear and feel in the atmosphere and give it back to the people. I don´t do a living from music; I ´m an attorney and horse breeder who gets noisy when I download the music I hear and feel.Thanks for checking out my page and listening the noise I´ve been doing for the past 50 and so years when I get musical.  I´m based in Bogotá, Colombia, and always open to do collabs.

 I do play Music for the love of it, playing guitar,  percussionist  ,composing  on a computer and Guitar, Piano, creator of mood and sound design
