Infectious synth in the background..I enjoyed the song

Again ! a wonderful song... maybe one of my favourites.

Re-Extase 35

This is a DIFFERENT version......all due respect to Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley.  READ THE WORDS, fool....

Well, I heard there was 
a sacred chord
that David played 
and it pleased the horde
but you don't really care 
for music, do ya?

Well, it goes like this
plead the fourth 
drink the fifth 

the minor fall
and the major lift 

the Shepherd King 
composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah (repeat) POETIC INTERLUDE: 

GET IN THE CAR WHEN SHE ARRIVES 
TO DRIVE A POINT HOME
TO THE PRIMARY FACT OF THE HORIZON
NOW IS A COMMUNION
AND CONSCIOUSNESS CANNOT DIE
DON'T STEAL OUR CHALLENGE 
WITH SALVATION

DYING AND GOING TO HELL 
IS JUST ANOTHER
CHILDHOOD AMNESIA

THE CAPACITY TO FEEL 
IS KNOWING
RATHER THAN 
JUST SAYING LOVE

WE FOUND OUR WAY BACK 
BY WHAT WE TIED TO THE SUNSET

SHE IS THE POET TO (K)NO(w) ONE

Your faith was strong
you needed proof
you saw her breakdancing on the roof
her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya

then she tied you to her 
kitchen chair
with her teeth 
she removed your
underwear
from your lips 
she drew the 

hallelujah 

all night

Hallelujah - etc. 

Baby, I've been here before
you know I've
seen this world and 
I walked through the door
you know I 
rocked out to the west 
before I knew ya

Like a seventh son 
on the royal arch
love is not 
a victory march 
it's a cold, and 
it's a broken hallelujah 

hallelujah , etc. 

(Timmy Purrs)

well 
there was a time 
when you let me know 
what's really 
going on below
but now you never 
show that to me, do ya 

remember when 
I moved in you
and the holy ghost 
was moving too
and every breath 
we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah

Original composition…..Alejandro Gonzalez M.

I'LL GIVE LOVE A BOOST

The Future is Hers

A cheerful music, in a kind of alien style, with electronic music and Arturia, Moog synthesizers, little guitar support. Maybe you can even dance to it......

The shaman's trance into the Otherworlds is called a journey, and sometimes referred to as "magical flight". In my second attempt at mixing my own music, I wanted to try to capture what it can be like to leave all the "noise" of this world behind and "fly" into another one.

I'm most grateful to @APi_ZZ for the gorgeous cover art.

Magical Flight

Summer Islands

A song about being addicted to the city and trying to get over it.

Clean

Original Lyrics:
Holding something that should never have been here
As the ghosts watch over us, swimming in fear
Is there a place where the rivers flow
Where the skies are clear and real trees can grow
A place where the ghosts cease to be
Is there a place where we can roam
A place to our one true home
It’s not a world where no one can be free
The swallows leave earlier now
The glaciers weep their silent vow
The ghosts of the past dancing in the dreams Chasing the future of our faded dreams. (Mate, you’re 16. You haven’t even started your dreams)
These thermal ghosts, made from our extremes
A new age begins, from the last one that died

I think they were good lyrics. They paint a pollution filled world and offer a Utopian one.
Counterargument:
Rocket: You didn't want to make things perfect. You just hated things the way they are.

So I asked Jasper if he wanted to collab and he said yes. I sent him ‘Say It Again’ saying it would be nice to get the drums done on them by next month. He sends me Thermal Ghosts with the lyrics, and tells me he’s going for ‘Fake Plastic Trees’ and I get it done  in a day. He asks me if I like the instrumental and ‘yeah.’ It’s not the most mind-blowing prod but it has a pretty good groove. He sends me a minute of the song so I sing 1 minute worth of lyrics. He wants me to loop it so that it goes longer. I ask him for a favor saying could he please loop his own song. So he copies and pastes the parts so you can hear a gap in the recording. So I then improvise and finish it in 4 minutes. 
He has now traveled from Australia to WAB for a field trip. So he was one of the kids with black hair and a fringe cut.
By this time, he still hasn’t done anything with Say It Again so I send him Veni Vidi Vici and say, “it’s OK if you can’t get the drums to me, I’ll just use programmed drums.” Meaning- You’re probably too lazy to get to it. For production, to fill in the gap I produced the whole thing again with programmed drums/guitars and figured out his …3 chord song. Not even a dom7 for the 5th degree? No. It’s a 3 major chord song. The most complex thing it has going for it are the drums which has the 2nd kick syncopated. There’s also 2 layers of bells going on. I also added simple bass and backing vocals. Yes, it makes my hairs stand up. The acoustic section in ‘You Had Me’ also did but the mixers ruined it but that’s mostly on me for choosing those guys again. For this one, the mixer sent me a version which I thought had the drums too loud and the vocals didn’t make my hairs stand up but sounded like perfection. So on the 2nd revision, I asked to have 20% of the reverb/effects removed and it worked. 
The irony is that the environment is the last thing I care about. I care about people first. I’m sort of with George Carlin. My take is that with a perfect environment and assholes running around there’s no point. Also, let’s just say Earth dies. Bigger picture wise, the universe will do just fine. The bigger environment-the universe lives on. Nonetheless, I did put my heart into someone else’s beliefs as you can hear. It has also reignite my interest in writing good lyrics cos’ if he hadn’t written good lines I wouldn’t have emoted.  There are also environmentalists who give a damn about human beings as much as the environment like Spiderman and I can respect that.

Every mirror lies. It reflects a face I don't recognize, sharp fragments of a me that no longer belongs to me. Cracks on the skin, emptiness in the eyes. It's not beauty that's missing — it's identity that's crumbling. This is my war against the reflection.

[Verse]
Her mirror whispers
It cuts like glass
She sees a shadow
Her beauty won’t last
From the navel rises
A storm in her core
A flood of self-doubt
She can’t ignore

[Chorus]
She’s a masterpiece
Painted in pain
A work of art drowning in rain
Her eyes see cracks where there’s a glow
The mirror’s a liar
But she’ll never know

[Verse 2]
Each morning’s war
A battlefield stare
The mirror’s her rival
It doesn’t play fair
It twists her reflection
Bends her light
Leaves her in darkness
Hiding from sight

[Chorus]
She’s a masterpiece
Painted in pain
A work of art drowning in rain
Her eyes see cracks where there’s a glow
The mirror’s a liar
But she’ll never know

[Bridge]
The navel’s a spiral
Pulling her deep
A black hole of sorrow
Where secrets creep
She’s screaming silent
Her beauty denied
Fighting the ghost that lives inside

[Chorus]
She’s a masterpiece
Painted in pain
A work of art drowning in rain
Her eyes see cracks where there’s a glow
The mirror’s a liar
But she’ll never know

Distorted (She's a masterpiece)
