Faces of Emotion (AndAWan featuring Bekah B & Vlad Josephson)

April 2, 2014

This is a track Bekah and I have been working on a while back starting with a completely different music backing and beat.... Bekah wrote the lyrics and sent me the vocal stems to do the mix and I just had to do something unorthodox and change the backing track to this one that I think fits the mood of Bekah singing.....

Thank you Bekah for sharing your talent with us....Love your way of expressing yourself!....

HIRED GUN

Silence…………..
it's stalking me,
far beyond my perception,
someone dark and hidden,
concealed by the razored 
blades of grass,
erected as tiny 
prison walls,
just over the grassy knoll……
watches.

Your silence,
is a hired gun,
your silence,
the cross hairs,
that divide me, in four
ways,
and conceal
my line of vision.
Your finger presses
slight against the
trigger, but
as for bullets, 
you never fire one, 
but your silence 
kills me,
just like a hired gun.

You have become,
the dark figure,
cast by the setting sun,
when shadows are long,
I look out my window,
and scan the perimeter
the distance,
and though, I know
I'm ready for the kill,
you'll never kiss me
with such a death
your the hired gun on the hill,
and my heart is a shell
empty of it's lead.

PICNIC FOR TWO

If there was a hill,
a soft place we could lie,
without tripping 
over
these tongues so tied.

I'd take the red,
from this sailors morning,
and paint you the sky,
with her cautious warnings.

I would…..I would,
But I'd never change,
your mind 
if I could,

Because hands are not prisoners
they should not be slaves.
I'll fear the sun, 
I'll greet the rain 
grey and true.
Even when life's no picnic
for one,
let alone two.

If I'm a fool,
let it be done,
let me fall on the sword,
of the enemy I love.

Though I bleed,
I know I am alive,
and painful as it seems,
I'll stop breathing
when I'm ready,
to die.

I will love, I'll love foolishly
I'll love beyond the shadows, 
or the light, imperfectly…..
Beyond the games we play,
I know
I'll risk it again,
even when I say I won't
I know thats a statement 
not a question.

Because I love,
thats all I know,
thats all this life amounts to,
the rests for show.
Call me crazy,
pat me on the head,
then pull your chilly sheets,
closer to you
in your bed.

Life is no picnic, 
thats nothing new,
but I still find I'm hungry,
even
when you're full.

I CAN SEE YOU NOW

Music and Production: AndAWan (Anders Birr)
Lyrics and vocals: Bekah B (Rebekah Vinelli)

----
Like the forest 
for the trees 
the sky above me

I can see you 
I can see you now

It's when you walked 
away 
wish I had 
something 
more to say

I can see you 
I can see you now

These wide walls 
are closing in 
and these empty halls 
seems so thin

I can see you now

HARD TO GET

I'm not playing 
hard to get, 
Cause I enjoy it too much. 
The scent, 
the smell 
the sweat, 
your touch

I'm not playing 
hard to get, 
I've been told many times, 
what happens 
when you play 
with fire

But I'm a wanton bitch, 
at the tire, 
nipping.........at the flames 
of the fire.....

Should I be self contained? 
Should I keep my dress on? 
When you're too willing 
to conspire? 
I just like 
the taste 
of your fire.....

Hard to Get - poetic vocal version (AndAWan featuring Bekah B)

STILL STANDNING (JAZZMOON)

Heat
the moon
I am
I am
I am

standing
still standing
breathe
the water
that slips
over my body
the waves
the scent
the memory

light
heavy
wet
stolen wings of snow's egret fancy
shaded
brought back to me
eyes
a mother
a child
a daughter
the trembling string

licking this
quivering bow
that presses
and sings
sings
what have you seen?
what do you see?

I've seen
I see a reflection
drawn
by my satisfied mouth
lips rounded
red
free

a ripple of freedom
the salted taste
it brings
my hands
run over me
your crescent words
your swimming knees
and the heat
your sea

churning I am
I am
I am

still standing

ARROW OF TIME

strike me….. 
arrow, 
time……time
erases these 
memories 
kept 
like prisoners, 
chained, 
to our minds, 
like two hands, 
opening, 
fist quickly closing….. 
opening, tight fisted 
grip, 
vice, and hammer, 
let me slip, 
slide from your 
hastened teeth, 
your worried lips, 
strike me, arrow, strike me 
time absolve me, 
by this arrow breaking

THE TABLE WHERE RICH PEOPLE SIT

Is it an instinct.
tamed feathers in hand?
that I should fold,
become weightless 
beneath your demands?

Carry that wood girl, 
soon you'll be 60 years old 
you'll forget you ache, 
you'll forget the story told 
with each bed you make.

Because you are 
serving 
the table where the rich people 
sit, 
they pay for your smile, 
you to cover the stench of their shit 
you are sure as hell in the thick of it, 
when cleaning the table 
where rich people sit….

But I wonder 
at the price that we pay? 
What if the tables turn 
by merely expensive heartache? 
What if their sheets, their lemon 
their honey, their tea, 
are decoys meant to divide them 
from me?

you've run me ragged because 
you think I'm nothing 
you think I'm nothing more 
than what money can say, 
you buy the silence of the poor… 
but I've had enough 
I've had enough, 
I see beyond their things…. 
they falter eventually, grow sick 
and make dust of the table 
where rich people sit….

The Table Where Rich People Sit  (AndAWan featuring Bekah B & Vlad Josephson)

https://open.spotify.com/artist/3Y4ZN1Dtz8jlk7lxFTdZJ0

It all started with instrumental, synthetic, electronica inspired by nature, life, family and friends and all kind of sounds and music.
Then I met some fellow musicians in the Cloud to do some collaborative work with, whom I now can call my friends.

Now my Music has expanded from hard core electronica to psychedelic post rock, ambient soundscapes, film Music, IDM, jazz and blues, ASMR (Autonomous sensory meridian response)

Ending up starting a music netlabel with some fellow musicians 2016.
Legacy of Thought https://soundcloud.com/legacy-of-thought

Thank you all for the inspiration and joy to create musical adventures together!

I recommend using good headphones or speakers when listening. Otherwise you'll probably miss some of the details in the soundscapes you will find here....
All are original tracks if not stated otherwise!
