has a lot of drive, rousing rhythm and great guitar playing

Great groove, great solo and also cool singing. The sound of the different elements of this track fit well together. Nice!

Old Textures - Variation Avec Franck Douvin

This is a remix of my first vocal offering which I originally released over 10 years ago. Some of the original (free) VST's have faded from existence so I worked with a few of my current favourites and one new one. By now I had switched to a Strat guitar and this is undoubtedly one of my better, more fluid leads. At the time, I was also experimenting with keyboards and was really just getting comfortable using two hands (rather than 2 fingers). Also at this time, I was getting comfortable using Cuckos Reaper. As for lyrics, they just came from the mood of the tune. Everything is drawn from life experiences, so a "cut and paste" of some old, but not forgotten, memories. I'm not sure why I chose the 3rd person to express these images. 

Broken Dreams
---------------------

[INTRO/SOLO]

You wake up from a nightmare ...
Or was that real?
Somehow you can't get out of bed
Fingers too numb to feel.

Sun coming through the window
But there's no heat.
Now, the silence is deafening
Not a sound from the street.

[SOLO]

Sweet smells from the pillow
As you turn in bed.
Memories of warm embraces
Filter through your head.

No matter now, the bed is cold.
The covers are all grey.
The memories still linger
Of a love that did not stay.

[OUTRO/SOLO]

Broken Dreams

Broken Dreams (Original)

a little too far

Floating Emotion

Days in the sun
Wonders of love

What we gave up
Can’t believe us
How could we not find a way forward?

Stars off course
A black hole in my heart
Pulls me 
Always with remorse

I feel the force
I fall apart
When I think of what we could have been

Jupiter spins
With 95 moons when 
Venus has not one
For lovers like us

Sunsets fading
I keep thinking
We could have made it
That could have been us
Could have been us

Love Love Love
Is such a fleeting light
Love Love Love
Is it worth the fight tonight

Tonight
I’m waiting all night

And I’m still willing to try
Is there a way for us to save us

I feel a pull
I feel our hearts
Gravitating

Is there a way for us to save us
a way to save us



Stars still off course
Rip open my heart
Fools pulled apart 
Once more

Love and divorce
The fight’s no more
And all I think 
What could have been 
Us

Jupiter spins
Even worlds end
Venus cools when
Lovers give up

Sunsets fading
I keep thinking
We could have made it
That could have been us.

I mastered a track I did a while ago. I used a sample from Bernard Wright RIP and Ade provided the lyrics.  He's funny and a bit rude!

Out of gold into zinc. 750 ( 1984 ) Margareta Theorin ( Margareta )

there's a lot of people, who wanna get you down.
don't wanna see you smile, just wanna see you frown.
make you look real bad, give you all the blames.
they get all their joy, from twisted mind games.
their vibes are really bitter, their minds are really dark.
never trust a traitor and never trust a narc. 

Never trust a narc.  (narcissist)

Lyrics by Ralph Donkin:

She was knocking on the door of the age of consent
Almost all grown up waiting for the event
Looking oh so sweet and so innocent

Just a little flattered by her interest
Tried to play it cool but you'd never have guessed 
Feeling overwhelmed but truly blessed

Chorus

Through my eyes I wish you could see
See the things that I can see
And if you take me seriously
We'd be together 
Forever in perfect harmony

A penny for your thoughts is not a lot to pay
I'd gladly give a million just to hear you say
You know I think today could be your lucky day

Chorus

Bridge

When you want the present to last
The present soon becomes the past

Solo

Knew where I was going cos I'd been there before
Once bitten, twice shy, I don't care anymore
Think I'll take my chance, that's what life is for

Chorus x 2

A SONG FOR LOVE - Re-Mastered Sept 2020

Copyright 2019/2020 All rights reserved.
Mastered by Soundcloud Sept 2020

I HAD THIS DREAM, IT WAS LONG AGO
A MEMORY, OF A LOVER SONG
I REMEMBER WHEN WE FELL INTO THE GRASS
AND AFTER SCHOOL IT WENT SO LONG

BUT IN THAT DREAM, THE WORLD WAS ONE
NO MEMORY, MAY'BE TIME STOOD STILL
I REMEMBER ROCK'N AND DANCING TO THE SHOW
AND EVERY WEEKEND WENT SO FAST

DON'T WAKE ME NOW I'M HEARING YOU
IF ONLY NOW, THE WORLD STOOD STILL
(break)
I FELT PEACE, IN MY HEART AND SOUL
A MEMORY, IN A SONG FOR LOVE
I ONLY HEAR YOU IN THE PHOTOGRAPH
AND TIME STOOD STILL THERE FOR SO LONG

DON'T WAKE ME NOW I'M HEARING YOU
IF ONLY NOW, THE WORLD STOOD

A SONG FOR LOVE

I'll finish E-Ruizzo project with a conceptual LP album: 4 songs about 'Arctica Point'. I imagined it amid rotation axis, geographic north and magnetic pole, and I located it on dry land !! Then I draw the cover art.

This opening track tells the decision of leaving this annoying present by travelling to that magical place. The following ones tell the trip and life there.

Translated lyrics will explain it with more detail:

EXPEDICIÓN (EL MUNDO SE HACE PEQUEÑO)  /  EXPEDITION (THE WORLD GETS SMALL)

Cansado de vivir en un mundo que se hace pequeño,  /  Tired of living in a world which gets small,
como ratas nos movemos en nuestro agujero.  /  like rats we move in our hole.

Cierro los párpados para no verlo,  /  I close my eyelids so as not to see it,
pero hay demasiadas cosas feas detrás de ellos.  /  but there are too many ugly things behind them.

Con los ojos cerrados veo mis recuerdos,  /  With my eyes closed I see my memories,
veo el presente que vivo y no quiero verlo.  /  I see the present I live in and I don’t want to see it.

Con los ojos cerrados no dejo de pensarlo,  /  With my eyes closed I can’t stop thinking about it,
tengo que ir a algún sitio donde olvidarlo.  /  I must go somewhere to forget it.

Partiremos hacia donde los recuerdos se olvidan,  /  We will leave for where memories are forgotten,
donde el frío congela el dolor de la vida,  /  where cold freezes the pain of life,
donde el hielo y la nieve nos protege del hombre,  /  where ice and snow protect us from mankind,
donde el cuerpo y el alma se purifican.  /  where body and soul are purified.

Tenlo todo preparado para nuestra expedición.  /  Get everything ready for our expedition.
Formemos una expedición ártica,  /  Let’s form an Arctic expedition,
Tenlo todo preparado para nuestra expedición.  /  Get everything ready for our expedition.
Formemos una expedición ártica,   /  Let’s form an Arctic expedition,
formemos una expedición ártica  /  let’s form an Arctic expedition

Ártica…  /  Arctica…
entre el polo magnético y el norte geométrico  /  between the magnetic pole and the geometric north
se encuentra el Punto Ártica.  /  is located the Arctica Point.

Partiremos hacia donde el reloj no gira.  /  We’ll leave for where the clock doesn’t go round.
Partiremos hacia donde el tiempo no pasa,  /  We’ll leave for where time doesn’t go by,
al lugar donde seis meses sólo duran un día.  /  for the place where six months only last one day.

Viviendo en un mundo que se hace pequeño,  /  Living in a world which gets small,
como ratas nos movemos en nuestro agujero.  /  like rats we move in our hole.
Con los ojos cerrados no dejo de pensarlo,  /  With my eyes closed I can’t stop thinking about it,
tengo que ir a algún sitio donde olvidarlo.  /  I must go somewhere to forget it.

Ártica…  /  Arctica…
entre el polo magnético y el norte geométrico  /  between the magnetic pole and the geometric north
se encuentra el Punto Ártica.  /  is located the Arctica Point.
entre el polo magnético y el norte geométrico  /  between the magnetic pole and the geometric north
se encuentra el Punto Ártica.  /  is located the Arctica Point.

Esperar no es lo único que haremos allí.  /  To wait is not the only thing we’ll do there.
Sabes que no es fácil sobrevivir,  /  You know it’s not easy to survive,
cuando no hay nada que te empuje a seguir.  /  when there’s nothing pushing you on.

Expedición (El mundo se hace pequeño)

Guitarist from Manchester. Been playing for most of my life and have been writing my own music for a few years now but never really done anything with it. It’s just a hobby for me really but anything I put on here will be my own stuff. I can play a bit of bass and I wouldn’t consider myself a singer but I’m trying to develop some confidence in that area. Love a bit of blues guitar, especially Clapton and Bonamassa, inspired by bands like Free, Bad Company, Whitesnake, Metallica, Guns n Roses, Aerosmith and a whole variety of other bands. I’m a sucker for a great vocal and so my musical taste covers a whole host of music, not just rock. Really interested to get peoples take on my music and see what feedback I get but also looking forward to hearing what great, original music is out there too!

Hello Soundcloud, thanks for the Listens, Likes and Support. Im from Melbourne Australia, I have been playing guitar for many years now and played in two bands during the 80's & 90's (STOLEN CAR original) & (STORM cover),both bands never released any material.
