Tout le style que j'aime ... Paroles et musique 👍

Beau texte sur les cultes de l'ancien monde ! Et bien mis en valeur par la musique et l'interprétation !

When https://soundcloud.com/ipg1, historical SC member, offered this open collab from one of his pages: https://soundcloud.com/level-one-up1/unused-multiples-140-bpm-open-for-collab, I was immediately inspired by the modern sound where I felt some rock wanting to get out!

Eden

You See Me Crazy

The judge's gavel struck the table
 You were able to breathe again
For when they sent me to the gallows pole
You felt you'd find peace again
For i would no longer torment you
Demonic whispers of a twisted mind 
Creep upon you from the shadows at midnight 
Like a spider ready to bite 

on one dark pitch black night
when the sun and moon collide
I stand resurrected again
A blood thirsty creature 

Whatever made you feel
You'd be safe when I die
I've come to take your life
Now Come to hell with me
Coming back for you

The paranoia eats your soul
Your heart races out of control
You try and look for me but you see me nowhere
But I am right there I'm everywhere

And when my fingers touch your neck
Your body feels the chill of death
You pray for the sun to rise
But you are the chosen sacrifice 

There is no place to run or hide
The darkness has killed the light
And the things you thought were just a nightmare
Turn to reality and chase you here
What are you gonna do now dear ?

Whatever made you feel
You'd be safe when I die
I've come to take your life
Now Come to hell with me
Coming back for you

Whatever made you feel
That you'd be safe when I die
I've come to take your life
I've come to take your life
Forever you and me
For all eternity
Come to Hell with me
Come to Hell with me





Comin Back 4 You (Ft The Oldschool & Icarus Death ))

Gosh!  Over a year since I've posted a new song!  It’s been a rough few years, but for me, the past 6 months have been particularly hard.  

This song was written ages ago, but I wanted to record it, just to have a copy for myself.  It’s a one-take piano/singing thing, with flaws but a sense of the underlying feeling.  While I was producing it, it developed a life of its own.  I had thought I’d rock it up with quite a conventional sound, but the drums and bass insisted on having their own unique flavours – ribbons of synth.  Aah well, here it is, a bit rough around the edges but at least I can feel that I am making music again...  thanks so much for listening!

Rock it…

O rock it, come rock baby roll
there’s a tide rolling green through my soul
Somewhere faint I remember the person I am
Rock it, come baby rock baby roll

Seems everyone’s dancing to light, 
there’s a song we all hear in the night
With the moon wide and high static spitting the sky
seems everyone’s dancing to light
Some red and some yellow some white
seems everyone dances to light

And the dust, it comes muddy your veins
dreary life dull and moaning in pain
Circuits broken and lost and you can’t think to cry
lost the code lost the path and can’t understand why
and the meaningless days and interminable nights
when there’s nowhere to fly and the wings lost their flight
found the feathers all crushed on the floor
trampled broken, don’t work any more

O rock it, come rock baby roll
there’s a tide rolling green through my soul
Somewhere faint I remember the person I am
Rock it, come baby rock baby roll

But somehow the cycle moves through,
the winds of change whisper and call
some beat in your brain lets the sleep patterns change
to the pulse of the blood and the beat of the brain
and awaken arise to the life-song refrain

O rock it, come rock baby roll
there’s a tide rolling green through my soul
Somewhere faint I remember the person I am
Rock it, come baby rock baby roll

*    *    *    *    *    *    *    *    *    *    *    *    *

Rock it...

Hé, Mrs Gasoline, arrête ta frime, t’es démodée.
Hé, Mrs Gasoline, et tes fossiles, sont bitumés.

Cheveux au vent, sur ta Harley, lunettes noires, blouson clouté,
Easy rider en liberté…
Route 66 vers Santa Fé, rock&roll, in L.A.

Hé, Mrs Gasoline, arrête ta frime, t’es démodée.
Hé, Mrs Gasoline, et dans le ciel, t’es éthérée.

Dans ta combinaison anti-G, main sur le manche, regard d’acier,
Looping Top-Gun en liberté…
Une escadrille de têtes brulées, rock&roll, in L.A.

Tonique, tellement tonique,
Toxique, extrêmement toxique.

Hé, Mrs Gasoline, arrête ta frime, t’es démodée.
Hé, Mrs Gasoline, ton énergie, est carbonée.

Porsche 550, Spyder, à l’est d’Eden, et d’ailleurs,
Fureur de vivre en liberté…
Route 4.6.6 Californie, rock&roll, in L.A.

Tonique, extrêmement tonique,
Toxique, tellement toxique.

Hé, Mrs Gasoline, arrête ta frime, t’es démodée.
Hé, Mrs Gasoline, ton corps de rêve, est gazouté.

A toute allure sur la chaussée, Ford Mustang, débridée
Un homme une femme en liberté…
Un dérapage contrôlè, rock&roll, in L.A.

From the album Schopenhauer's Apprentice

when you lie to me
I can't believe
when you speak your words to me

when you lie to me
I can't believe
when you say you love me

when you lie to me 
I can't believe
when you speak those words to me

when you lie to me
I can't believe
when you say you love me

"They all go stupid in a race."
(Gustave Flaubert, 1821-1880)

The following text passage is mainly a translation from a blog by the author Goetz Eisenberg (*1951) called:
https://durchhalteprosa.de/ 
(which can best be translated as „Perseverance Prose“)

In the translation I have tried to stay as close as possible to the original text, however, due to phrasing, composition (etc…), I have used slight changes and additions.

Desensitization

Apocalyptic images 
Every evening on the news 
Heat, fires and disease
Floods, earthquakes, famines, 
War and destruction…
We are given such a daily dose 
Of horror news 
That we loose 
The capacity for outrage and revolt. 
We become numb 
And also threaten to loose 
The abilities we need 
To have empathy. 

(ref1)
Then, as now,  	(2)
We should cry out 
And rise up collectively, 
But the mass of images 
And the flood of news 
Make us fall silent
And paralyse the hooves

All go crazy in a race …

The more drastic the images 
We are presented with, 
The faster we forget 
What we have seen. 
The abundance and above all 
The concreteness of the images
Is the best means 
Of making us immune
To others misfortune. 
This is a facet of the "dialectic of enlightenment" 
That is far too little considered:
The more clearly 
Barbarism can be seen, 
The faster 
We forget it. 
News had a greater impact on us 
When we only heard or read it. 
The images of it arose 
In our minds 
And then occupied us more than one time

All go crazy in a race …

(ref2)
Then, as now,  	(2)
We should cry out 
And rise up collectively, 
But the mass of images 
And the flood of news 
Simply fob us off
With the surface

All go crazy in a race 
They all go stupid in a race	(2)
and we float along with it…

Desensitization

The increasingly frequent scenes of human destructiveness inspired me for this composition. There is no beauty there. I tried to show the destruction, fear, panic... As if the Angel of Destruction was hovering over us. If we sow the seeds of evil, what can we expect? The answer my friend is blowin in the wind... (Dylan)

Apocalyptic Visions

Aside from musical satisfaction and $$$ - the motivations for artists to keeping going can be an addiction to the love from the audience.

SCREAMING AND THROWING UNDIES

Take my time with plug-ins
Connection satisfaction
Waving arms like a summons
Pointy introductions
And soon I’m ridin’ minor sevenths
Endorphins in my canal
I’m like a godly presence
As music funks it’s way around

But the pessimist inside – says shoot me your lovin’ arrows
Cause the deficit is – oh - the needing of something so shallow
Gimme screaming and throwing undies (love me love me love me)
Gimme screaming and throwing undies

Career or labour of love
Try and define it
Eyeing up those at the front
Is anyone buyin’ it
I’m phrasing out the words I wrote
Looking for misty eyes 
Reaching for a soulful note
Into clover wrap me tight 

Nature’s opium ride
Musicality
Bathing up here in spotlight
Dopamine alchemy                             Yeah I’m riding . . .

SCREAMING and THROWING UNDIES

'Tóg an Bealach Radhairc' means ‘Take the Scenic Route’...always the best option.
 
Finn: I plan to go back to my Irish routes more this year and created a simple backing track on Octave Mandolin & Tenor Banjo, but then ran out of ideas.  Doina took a listen and came up with this lovely uplifting tune. The song had a different name when we started out, but now it reminds me of driving along a coast road with the window open. Thank you Doina! 

Doina: Celtic music has been a part of my life for the past 12 years and I can't imagine my life without it. When I started to write and record, these violin tracks seemed too simple. And then Finn started working, mixing, adding tracks. What a journey. Thank you, Finn, for giving me the opportunity to be a puzzle piece in this big machinery called music!

Music: Doina & Finn
Doina Bora: Violins.
Finn Eces: Octave Mandolin, Tenor Banjo.
Birdsong, recorded at dawn in County Laois, Ireland.
Produced Finn Eces.

Tóg an Bealach Radhairc [Take the Scenic Route]

Late in life, Thomas fulfills his passion for creating and performing songs. Alice, one of his two daughters, adds her touch and her voice. The songs are for some in French and for others in English, and interpreted either by Al(Alice), or by To(Thomas), or in duet or by guests. We hope you will like it and encourage us to continue!
