Never Let You Down - The New Vigos

Roberto B (@user-55822457) and I are glad to present our 3rd collaborative track, "Double Reflection III", in our album in progress under the title "Double Reflections". We hope you'll enjoy it: it was created spontaneously today!

The artwork cover, that will also be used for our album in progress and all its constituent tracks, is our own, cropped and annotated by Alex M (in Mac OS Preview) on 29 April 2021.

Created in collaboration on 1 May 2021 (initial mix and recording in MAGIX by Roberto B, with subsequent additions, final mix and recording by Alex M in GarageBand and Logic Pro), and posted on SC on 1 May 2021 (by Alex M).

Thank you so much for this 3rd beautiful - spontaneous and inspired - collaboration, Roberto!

Duration: 5:02 minutes

Double Reflection III - Roberto B & Alex M

Dead Land

Torture

To tear apart by cunning and stealth
You tested my desire vs mental health you know
Call it intuition after all
It only takes a statement until you fall

I took the tickle and the punch
It's not the first day of the month
Pleading to fill my begging bowl
Left in this dirty darkened hole

I wear the bruises like a badge
It will not go down as a first class catch at all
Pull me up by the scruff of the neck
Regurgitate a crazed and dumb name check
Only half the monikers are real
Tell me how you really feel

CHORUS
Harness and chains I crave the sunlight
These are not chains at all
Breathlessly feel the hands strange tight
We've hit another brick wall
Oh hear the grown cry

So watch the cat on its ninth life
Burn it up with fuel that you have syphoned off
Add me to a list of good and bad
Pity for the fool that bypassed mad
Chuckle as the skin it starts to peel
Tell me how you really feel

CHORUS

Torture

Progressive funk rock by the Dragonsail Puppets

Leprechaun Boots And A Tutu

Dedicated to my brother Cristopher Robert (1969-1996). Now gone almost as long as he was here.

Hey sometimes I see you standing
In my dreams
But I can no longer hear your voice
You’re mute to me
I miss you
And it still hurts

All my memories of you have become
Old stale vignettes
It’s just not as much fun when you have
All the answers first
I know you’d visit
If you could
So if you’re out there
It’s understood

You were just a kid sometimes I wonder
What we’d talk about
I think I’d be ashamed
My belly full of
What you went without
But I know you love me
And wouldn’t eat off my plate
You can play your cards right
But you can’t beat fate

You Can't Beat Fate

DESPONDENTXDUCK  [The Producers Corner Sample Challenge N°426]

As you doze by the fire with a body so weary and a heart that's been clouded with pain / I am sending you my love and a lullaby to carry you above heavy fog and the rain. / It's the song that will guide you and lead you through the valley / It's the hymn that you'll hear on the hill / It's the lullaby of light that is coming home to find you / When you sleep it'll comfort you still. / If I lend you a hand, then a cabin we can build on the shore of the river so bright.  / And the light that we share in the hours we will fill / Will reflect all the peace that's inside. / It's the song that will guide us and lead us through the valley. / It's the hymn that we'll hear on the hill. / It's the lullaby of light that will come home to find us. / When we sleep it will comfort us still. / When the days close around me, if I find that you are gone and my dreams become troubled and grey / I will settle by the fire and listen for your song / To find ease at the end of the day. / It's the song that will guide me and lead me through the valley / It's the hymn that I'll hear on the hill. / It's the lullaby of light that will come home to find me. / When I sleep it will comfort me still. When I sleep it will comfort me still.

Lullaby Of Light

I have always admired music, of diverse styles. Like most of us, I have tried learning to play a few instruments at a basic level in my teenage. But it is only now, in the 21st century, that modern software allows anyone to fool around being the composer, the designer of a whole composition, simpler or more complex, organising together the parts of the various instruments - and to hear the results of this experimentation or inspiration instantly! That is how I have recently begun enjoying the distraction of attempts at composing during my leisure, discovering an amazing dimension of life, and art, perhaps the most intangible, heightening and hypnotising one, and the closest to the soul... (21 August 2017) ... Forgot to mention: music is for sharing - that's why we are all here! (4 September 2017)
