FEBRUARY  from WINTER-A SYMPHONIC POEM

A sentimental country-ish ballad with a big sad finish.
Dedicated to anyone suffering from memory loss. Thanks for listening.
Lyrics:
I can still remember
Felicia in December
Outside in the cold
Smoking Swisher Sweet Cigarettes
But she would always forget
If you're gonna inhale that shit
You know she always got sick
She'd chewed down the tip

It's like I told you on the phone
My mind is not all my own
All my memories are dissolving
Our nights in Arroyo Park
Out feeling that spark
That Datsun that would never start
My bad Cure haircut (disaster!)
My heart was beating faster
A sketch of a love scene
Painted behind
A gothic old master

I was selfish with my time
And now I seem to lead my life
Conducting orchestras in my mind
Oh, I don't know how this sounds
But sometimes I listen to the ground
To hear and feel the rumblings
I think that you're coming around

All my memories are dissolving
Soon, I'll have no memories of this world
I'll have no memories of this world
So let's go out tonight
And shoot out the lights!
Let's break our hearts tonight
I'll have no memories of this world

I wanted to drop you this line
To thank you for the time
And thank you for being in my life
Thank you for being my life

Let's Break Our Hearts Tonight

"Retrato"

Cuanto puede el aire es
Mostrarnos su semblante
De planeta vencido,
Quizás servirte de espejo
Cuando te desnudas
O tomar, sombríamente,
Tu lugar cuando respiro.

Le Rire Des Éléments

Chant : Muette
Paroles et musique : Alain Illos

Sous la pluie battante, je vagabonde solitaire, 
Dans un décor désolé, mes pas impriment la terre 
Des arbres noueux singent nos étreintes passées
Aujourd’hui je n’ai plus que moi à abriter .

Au ciel les éclairs étreignent la nuit noire,
Dans mon crâne rapiécé, règne l'obscur d’un mouroir
Chargé de rires, du trouble, de la langueur des amants 
Dans cette nature désolée, je chemine tristement.

J’entends le vent furieux
la pluie et le tonnerre
Je m’abrite comme je peux du rire des éléments.

Sans doute le matin dispersera les ombres
Faisant naitre la lumière pour chasser la nuit sombre . 
Moi j’avance ,égaré comme on sort de la guerre
Je n’ai aucun souhait je n’ai plus de prières .

Voilà l’orage qui gronde, et qui s'éloigne au loin,
Te souviens tu encore de la tiédeur des matins ?
Et puis le vent s’essouffle , laissant sa place au calme,
Pourquoi n’avons nous pu jamais baisser les armes ?

J’entends le vent furieux
la pluie et le tonnerre
Je m’abrite comme je peux du rire des éléments


The Laughter Of The Elements

In the pouring rain, I wander alone, 
In a desolate setting, my footsteps imprint the earth 
Gnarled trees sing of our past embraces
Today I have only myself to shelter.

In the sky, lightning embraces the dark night,
In my patched skull, reigns the obscurity of a mental home
Loaded with laughter, turmoil and the languor of lovers
 In this desolate wilderness, I wander sadly.

I hear the furious wind
rain and thunder
I shelter as I can from the laughter of the elements.

No doubt morning will disperse the shadows
Giving birth to light to chase away the dark night. 
I'm moving forward, lost like someone emerging from war.
I have no wishes, I have no prayers.

Here's the storm, rumbling and receding into the distance,
Do you still remember the warm mornings?
And then the wind dies away, giving way to calm,
Why couldn't we ever lower our weapons?

I hear the furious wind
rain and thunder
I shelter as best I can
from the laughter of the elements

Le Rire Des Éléments avec Muette  (translated after the French text)

I’m tired of being the nice guy. I’m tired of being the fool.
I’m tired of doing the right thing. I’m tired of all these rules.
I’m tired of being a good sport. I’m tired of towing the line.
I’m tired of people taking from me what I thought was rightfully mine.

I try to listen to my inner voice but the music’s always playing too loud.
I try to go my own way but I get lost in the crowd.
But the world keeps on turning and I don’t know where it’s trying to go.
And my heart, my heart keeps on yearning cause what I’m searching for I don’t know.
Cause what I’m searching for I don’t know. Cause what I’m searching for I don’t know.

I’m tired of all these advertisements telling me what I need.
I’m tired of people saying to me that I’m never goanna succeed.
I’m tired of listening to bad advice that I did not solicit.
I’m tired of people telling me that my behavior is illicit.

I try to listen to my inner voice but the music’s always playing too loud.
I try to go my own way but I get lost in the crowd.
But the world keeps on turning and I don’t know where it’s trying to go.
And my heart, my heart keeps on yearning cause what I’m searching for I don’t know. Cause what I’m searching for I don’t know. Cause what I’m searching for I don’t know.

I try to listen to my inner voice but the music’s always playing too loud.
I try to go my own way but I get lost in the crowd.
But the world keeps on turning and I don’t know where it’s trying to go.
And my heart, my heart keeps on yearning cause what I’m searching for I don’t know.
 Cause what I’m searching for I don’t know. 
 Cause what I’m searching for I don’t know. 
 Cause what I’m searching for I don’t know.

Tired

HUGE thank you to J.J. Terrell for putting this one together with me!

And thank you to K2 for the drums!

Lyrics

What do I have to say
To make you stay
The world is turning now
Without me

Why do you have to keep
Just letting me retreat
This worldly learning is
So lonely

Take my hand, dear
Help me to stand, dear
It thaws my heart, just
To have you near

Cos times are changing, so fast
Can we find the energy to last
This price we paid was it worth the cost
Or will we feel that all is lost

On the horizon
Sunset or sunrise
Facing death, or saving lives
Losing our faith
Or finally arrive

You used to bring me
Coffee in the morning
You used to kiss me in the rain
I remember times so full of yearning
Oh will we ever feel that way again

Cos times are changing, so fast
Can we find the energy to last
This price we paid was it worth the cost
Or will we feel that all is lost

On the horizon
Sunset or sunrise
Facing death, or saving lives
Losing our faith
Or finally arrive

What Have You Done? - Alex M & DAN-DT featuring Laura

Looking from the shadows, a blink and then it's gone
A life passing by, is there hope in the wind?
Open your hand, catch it if you can...

Lyrics :

Many miles around to get to over there
In such hard
Road without end
Happy for you
So Cool  So Lust  So Hot and Fresh in Cars in highway
Road without end
Happy for you
Cars and Joy
Take me to the limit inside your heart
Tell me another forces inside your head

Races for ever Girls at the finish line
Motors and roars
In prizes for you
Prizes for us
Wuaooo

Faces looking for silly cars right now
With good price
Loans without end
Happy for you
Gadget and skin in vary colors 'n' shape on us
Road without end
Looking for It
Cars and Joy
Take me to the limit inside your heart
Tell me another forces inside your head

Highways full of souls
Lost in a Loan
Deception hide in speed
In prizes for you
Prizes for us
Wuaooo

Illusions as we take for a Fast and Furious in there
cheatings throw out for you
Movies and perpetual Lies
Idols in plastic and steel
Stories of people crash inside
Slow our pace just for us
And smile to all of you
Business and money run for It fucking crooks everywhere.
Stop
Fuck...ing cars
At last
Take all your time 
By walk
or in a bus
with comic books
So Cool  So Tough  So free So adrenalized 
Cars and Crash
Take me to the limit inside your heart
Tell me another forces inside your head

Highways full of souls
Lost in a Loan
Deception hide in speed
In prizes for you
Wuaaooo

Collab with Martin Reed

This is a new year —-the outlook is fair
 Start a brand new chapter I killed it last year 
A force to be reckon with ——this much is clear 
Writing futures not histories a real pioneer 
yo ——-it’s IPG1——— I’m still off the chain 
turn up the music ——- this ——-the heat I maintain 

*******for Part 2 ***Freestyle—-not written

OK here we go ——set it off like a boss
I—-Paid the price ——-paid the cost—-there’s —no love loss
Call it what you want ——but ——call it—-pure pleasure 
——skillzzz gained——- from every bar —- every measure 
treasure the moments —the performance—the key
I deliver it right ——-Come on vibe with me 
————it’s an—-emcees delight ——when I lock it down —-
I lock it down tight——-Slamming bars ——like it’s Devine right
authorized to excite—-Sight beyond sight
and I keep it cool ———-like my name was frostbite 

Caught up in the same struggle —-on the daily 
one common interest in mind ——who’s gonna pay me 
——Let’s take some time —-to acknowledge each other
because it’s the same struggle——only change is the weather
different rule —-same game —-we’re all ——in it together
We Position ourselves ——with the things we’ve earned 
And the knowledge ——we’ve collected ——from the lessons learned

my space of existence ———is-in the mix 
Acknowledge—-the persistence ——a hip-hop fix
Real sounds—— real memories—-why resist
so profound ———in harmony ——as I transmit
different vibes —— and melodies —do exist 
But I’m the source—- and the remedy ——you must admit
——worded ——-artistry —as—-I transmit
doing —-what comes naturally——so I just spit

Mysteries Of The Blim Part 3

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)
