Out of Time demo

Jazz variations made after listening to a rap track by Dtrot the Pilot, a vast talent....first time listening...and I mean really listening... to a rap track....specifically....listening to the musical patterns. After immersion in Dtrot the Pilot's track (Whatcha Feelin) for over an hour...this came out. Thank you Dtrot. You inspired me.

Jazz (Horn) Variations on listening carefully to a rap track

Lyrics and frenglish translation :

Des échardes de gel fichées au bout des doigts, tu égrènes, hésitante, ta vie ponctuée de graves intimes qui sonnent comme des glas.

Elles te poussent hors des murs sur la route déserte.
Et tu pars.

Et tu laisses en arrière le linceul ouaté quand le rythme têtu t'emporte à coups de croches sur l'asphalte luisant d'un jour à contre-temps.

Retracer le chemin du voyage à l'envers jusqu'à ouvrir la grille. 
Puis te laisser mener, lentement, par l'allée souveraine, au temple résonnant où s'accordent, nettes et brèves, les noires et les blanches au bout de tes doigts ranimés.

Le voilà, le sentier pour l'ombre et la lumière, la grâce du passage et le souffle ancien où s'évanouit le doute au cœur des origines.

Là s'élève, peau nue, la note bleue.

C'est elle qui te ramène à nous sur la frange de son aile.

Shards of gel stuck at your fingertips, you reel off, hesitantly, your life punctuated by intimate bass that rings like a death knell.

It pushes you out of the walls onto the empty road.
And you leave.

And you leave behind the padded shroud when the stubborn rhythm takes you away with eighth notes on the shiny asphalt of a day out of time.

Retrace the path of travel in reverse until you open the gate.
Then let yourself be led, slowly, through the sovereign alley, to the resonating temple where the black and white notes agree, clear and brief, at the tips of your revived fingers.

There it is, the path for shadow and light, the grace of passage and the ancient breath where doubt vanishes at the heart of origins.

There rises, bare skin, the blue note.

It is she who brings you back to us on the fringe of her wing.

The rain falls
The night calls
The stars glow
The moon knows
Your heartache
Your mistake
You’ve been waiting
For a break

The pain’s deep
You can’t sleep
Your mind’s numb
You can’t run
The thunder
Your blunder
You feel your head
Fall under

Not today, the sun will shine
Not today, you will unwind (oh-way-oh)
Today, someone will treat you kind (oh-way-oh)
And you’ll find your way, your way back to 
Your way back to happiness (oh-way-oh)

The leaves fall
Autumn calls
The wind blows
The birds know
You descend
You amend
You’ve been waiting
For the end  

Not today, the sun will shine
Not today, there’s precious time (oh-way-oh)
Today, leave thoughts of death behind (oh-way-oh)
And you’ll find your way, your way back to love and joy
Your way back to love and joy (oh-way-oh)

Not today, the sun will shine
Not today, you’ll be fine

Not Today

a track by Marco Lucchi reworked by Mean Flow

maggio 2023

Mean Flow & Marco Lucchi - One Hand Piano n°1

Written in 2005 (after our trip to New Zealand), Shady was one of the tracks on my first album Into The Wildness. This song came to me whilst I was making concrete with a cement mixer for an extension I was building on our house. A dragon fly flew past me and took me straight back to our trip around the Bay of Islands on our friends catamaran, Shady Lady. It's a simple song of escapism.

This recording was a later version recorded at home sometime between 2010/2015.

La Pythie peut-être ne parle pas pour perdre,
Son salut sibyllin souffle soit en sûr,
Six secrets sanguins qu'encensent ces soirs d'espoirs sous cérémonies suintantes alors complices coquines des câlins que Cardea croque en quinconce calculant des passages bien trop polis pour être vierge voire vassale vestale en vrille ovaires car se caresse en liesse, en messe, en fées séantes tenantes tournantes d'ermites tiltés de tendances ténébreuses où s'y perds à l'aise tes rations de stupre spectral languissant les louanges lactaires liées en allonge déjà danses indociles, dominatrices des songes que rongent rougissantes les raisons d'exulter car ainsi coïncident création et connexion en cadences divines, mon très cher !

Beneath the lonely streetlight, ever-shifting shadows played a secret game. Lucy, an imaginative girl, believed they were mystical beings. One night, a shadow reached out, and Lucy followed it to a hidden door. A world of twilight wonders awaited, teaching her that even darkness holds beauty.

Shadows in The Street Light

A graduate story

To celebrate 2000, I took a year off to write songs, novels, plays, and stories - and I've been doing that since. At the end of my first year, I won first prize in the USA Songwriting Contest in the Lyric Category for 'Drum Machines and Beauty Queens.' This led to co-writing songs with many excellent musicians, including those represented in songs posted here. 

More recently, I was one of seven finalists in the Crisis Lyric Category of the 2021 UK Songwriting Contest for 'Lockdown Blues,' and one of nine nominees in the 2021 International Song Awards with 'Didn't the River Know' and 'Blue and Gold.'

For the past two years, I've been collaborating with many talented musicians on Kompoz. I release many of these songs here and compile the best into albums released under Captain Stormfield's Trip on Spotify and other platforms (see links below).
