The life that is lost in the ether
Spread so thin it is toast
Is missed in the family history 
Like a parasite to the host 

Trying to hide while it’s flirting
Will leave life behind on the train
It moves but does not choose its station
It cannot hide from the pain 

So sing this song
And sing it all as one we know we’re 
Holding on
On for just as long as we can
Sing this song
And sing it all as one 
For the day will come 
When we can’t hold on

Drop the philosophy 
It is not helping me
Feed all the lives in my charge
I struggle 
To make my two ends meet
I’ll die on my two feet
My problem growing too large 
I struggle

How can I care when I cannot keep the lights on
Plan for a future when I can’t see where it comes from 
Do I dream of a day not draped in loss?

I’ll tell you what I want and who I hope comes by
Fucking God with a shitty story sad sigh
Cry my river and I’ll get on your cross
Cos your the boss

So sing this song
And sing it all as one we know we’re 
Holding on
On for just as long as we can
Sing this song
And sing it all as one 
For the day will come 
When we can’t hold on
You will hold on
And I will try
But Mother Earth 
Plays melodies 
That lie

Listen my son
I should have told you 
Before the end of my days
You are you
And there’s nothing to do
But sing this song in your way
There’s a voice that doubts it
It calls to us all
But you belong
At the heart of the song 
So come my son, now don’t fall

Earth be my mother
Make me another
Spare me all this pain
My life is a torment
Agony is my rent 
I pay to see the next day

I am down
Hold on my son
I am down
Hold on my son

So sing this song
And sing it all as one we know we’re 
Holding on
On for just as long as we can
Sing this song
And sing it all as one 
For the day will come 
When we can’t hold on
You will hold on
And I will try
But Mother Earth 
Plays melodies 
That lie

Holding On

A remixed oldie. Warning: The lyrics of this song contain depictions of interpersonal violence and suicide. That said: Hello… Glad you dropped by. Since I have been busy gardening lately, I haven’t been on SoundCloud all that much. But today… June 17th, it has been cold and rainy, with some snow (yes, snow!) predicted for tonight. So I have tarps and covers ready to go, to cover the frost sensitive plants. Years ago, when I first posted songs here, my exuberance often blinded me to just how bad those songs were. So I ended up posting and deleting songs all the time. Once a dude asked if I was using a mic, as the ‘white noise’ machine hiss of the HD was unbearable. He said it in the kindest of ways. I did end up getting a mic and also did a song thanking him. Other times, I used to introduce my songs with a deep, drawling voice. That was hilariously comedic. Another dude laughed so hard when I was first learning to sing. I posted a song with me warbling from baritone to high falsetto…. OMG. Later, I laughed too. People here were graciously patient and kind as I struggled to learn music way back when. Unlike a friend’s parents who chased him in an effort to take away his banjo and he never played music again. So thanks for bearing with me, as I test out vocal harmonies that really don’t work, or just wing a song, with no rhyme of reason. Or when I rant and howl about this or that. Because that kindness has allowed me to explore music in a way I never would have before.  Mark

Equanimity And Loss

A traditional English song that describes the process of making beer. There are myriad versions with different words and different tunes.

Since recording this, I realised that, relying only on my imperfect memory, I'd omitted two verses: (1) The Mashing Tub (2) The Drying Kiln. Please use your imaginations for the gory outcomes of the missing lines... only then can you have your beer.

Down the hatch!

A short instrumental section for a pretentious long song I've just started on - hopefully it will work in context  🤪... it's fair to say I struggled with the fingerpicking - needs work 😬

Oh Thou Forsaken (demo)

The three of us are now close to completing our collaborative album of (re)mixes of 2024. We present the last-but-one track in it, "Muddy Water". As always, Patrick or DjArtw2001 (@djartw2007) took the initiative and (re)mixed in MAGIX on 21 May 2024 parts composed by Dan or DAN-DT (@Dan-T-3) in December 2020 under the title "Muddy Water" with amazing vocals by Dorothea Wessel (https://soundcloud.com/dorotheawessel) - to whom we thank sincerely, with parts by Alex M for a collaboration with Patrick under the title "Day by Day 10" composed in December 2021 and released on SC on 8 May 2022 (https://soundcloud.com/alexander-mihailov-96713983/day-by-day-10-volt5000-alex-m), and parts, effects, arrangements and transitions composed and mixed by DjArtw2001 recently. This new collaboration was posted on SC on 6 October 2024 (by Alex M).

The artwork cover for the track uses the original image created by DAN-DT in December 2020 and annotated in Mac OS Preview by Alex M on 5 October 2024 - in coordination and agreement with DjArtw2001 and DAN-DT.

Hope Realized Lies Beyond

Determination Of Exploration

Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?
It took me years to write, will you take a look?
It's based on a novel by a man named Lear
And I need a job
So I wanna be a paperback writer


It's a dirty story of a dirty man
And his clinging wife doesn't understand
His son is working for the Daily Mail
It's a steady job
But he wants to be a paperback writer
Paperback writer


If you really like it you can have the rights
It could make a million for you overnight
If you must return it you can send it here
But I need a break
And I wanna be a paperback writer
Paperback writer

Rumble (2024)

NAEL the Winner featuring Ysound

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)
