Anagapesis (ft Rachel Debattista)

10 seconds
the difference between everything and nothing
the thinnest margin
it was supposed to be beautiful
so hard to say goodbye
maybe the next time
maybe the next life
it was supposed to be beautiful
maybe the next time
maybe in the next life
it was supposed to be beautiful

as always, thanks to our dear friend Adrian :)

supposed to be...with Adrian Hallam

It has been almost 2 years since I heard a production made in a style completely unknown to me: https://soundcloud.com/tetsuo-dubs/tetsuo-senso. I know the creator personally. I asked him what he would say about making a metal version of the track, as I had ideas for processing...
He has supported the project! For many months (while the track was preserved on my hard drive) he encouraged me to release this song.
Today is finally the moment to release - after doing the last few touches these days. Thanks, TETSUO! :)https://soundcloud.com/tetsuo-dubs
This time too, my virtual band rushed to my aid - as I usually do with my compositions.
Produced by Val Akey.
Used and programmed VSTIs:
- Drums: Addictive Drums2;
- Bass: Broomstick Bass;
- Guitars: RealLPC + GuitarRig5.
- String Orchestra: Cytrus (FL Studio 20)
- Choir: DSK ChoirZ

Release date: 21 April 2021

Sensitive Destruction

That turned out very well with the fantastic vocals from Rachel. It was really hard which of the brilliant stems to drop.

======= Lyrics =======

One last story got a hold on me
She said I won’t be told
Bout how mine would unfold
And I’m left strumming on to seek

Strangers in the night
are left running out of sight but there’s
the clues in avenues slashing through the mountains
bare
their beading’s cold as ice
but I see through their shells
im no longer
Wandering lost

One good tune can catch your from the dark
Immersive words can last
The burdens from the past
Can help in fighting back your fears

Wandering Lost

Wandering Lost (with Rachel Debattista)

Another track that I decided to give the vintage vinyl treatment to. I can't help it! There's something about a warped, scratchy record...

There
is where she sits
it's where she always sits

This 
is what she said
it's what she always says

Mother I'm human
Mother I'm human
Mother you know me after all

Why
why do you smile
when the world is spinning out of control

Mother I'm human
Mother I'm human
Mother you know me after all

The wind is blowing, again
You are so softly thinking..
you fire up your own joint

There
is where she sits
it's where she always sits

Mother I'm Human

lyrics

I believe something a little crazy, a little out there
Inconceivable, inconceivable
I believe something, now hear me out man
I have seen saucers flying in the sky, flying in the sky
Cruising at warp speed, changing direction, then disappearing
Can't change my mind
I want to believe
I want to believe
I want to believe

The truth is out there for those who seek it
I know they're out there, seen 'em with my own eyes
The truth is out there, I want to find it
I know they're out there watching from the skies

I believe something a little spooky, a little kooky
Implausible, but not impossible
I believe something, open your mind man, truth is worth finding
If you've got the nerve, if you've got the nerve
We will go down the rabbit hole and discover worlds
Beyond your wildest dreams
Do you believe?
Do you believe?
Do you believe?

The truth is out there for those who seek it
I know they're out there, seen 'em with my own eyes
The truth is out there, I want to find it
I know they're out there watching from the skies

Don't call me crazy, you're the one that's crazy
You could never believe the things that I've seen
A stable form of element 115
Intelligence far greater than our own
They come and beam you up from your home
One way or another I've got to know
Even at the expense of getting probed
I want to look them right in the eye
I want an encounter before I die

Before you turn this thing around

it's all waiting for you

outro
see you out on seventh street
you’re the one they want to see

it's so good to see your face
hanging out around this place

it’s your life….
It’s your life….
It’s your life…

When dreams turn to stone and all you have are the memories
Dreams are not perfect
They tell a story
Each in its own different way.

Lyrics:
Vibin' with you
Baby put your love down
Love down
Throw the dice 
Bacardi on ice
Cause we took it down town
Vibin' with you
Pull up with that pain of yours
Thought that I struck a vein of yours 
Yeah
I don't know
What it takes
To prove it to you
Too many times in love
Too many times in love
I don't know
What it takes
To show it to you
Too many nights on the run
Too many nights on the run

WE'VE ALL MESSED ABOUT
MAY'BE BEEN THE FOOL
SOMETIMES TAKE A CHANCE
AND BREAK ALL THE RULES

TIMES  CHANGED SO FAST
JUST LIKE LIFE IT SELF
IN A BLINK OF AN EYE
THEN I SAW YOU

REMEMBER THE WAYS OF THOSE DAYS

I DON'T BELIVE IN MUCH
AND WHAT'S ABOVE
UNTILL THAT STAR
FELL UPON YOU
(chorus)
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE
(break)
SOMEDAY WE'LL BE GREY
ROCKING IN THE SHADE
LOVING EVERYDAY
I HOPE IT'S WITH YOU

LIFE IS FULL OF LUCK
THEN YOUR NUMBERS UP
DON'T WISH FOR MUCH
IF YOU HAVE LOVE
(chorus)
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE
I'M TAKEN TO THIS WORLD
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE
TAKE ME

A STREET OF LIFE

Sound Of Silence - Instrumental Version

I needed everything you gave
Everyday I was wasting away
I needed...
I see it, things I threw away
Pacing the room, remember the day
I see it...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
La,la,la,la
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Still waiting for my time to come
Patiently waiting, ready to fire 
Off....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, I know it, I'm not fine
I'm lost in a maze, running blind
And bare false witness to these rants
I'm not in control, your command
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Someone lead me out
Far away from all this sound
Someone lead me out
Away from here, away from here
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No feelings, your blank and dreary eyes
Never could say for certain that
You tried...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, I know it, I'm not fine
I'm lost in a maze, running blind
And bare false witness to these rants
I'm not in control, your command
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Someone lead me out
Far away from all this sound
Someone lead me out
Away from here, away from here

Without You
Text and Music: Rachel 

This is a song written by Rachel @https://soundcloud.com/rachel_debattista. 
I am so happy, Rachel agreed, to transform her beautiful song into a rock ballad. You can listen to the original version here: https://soundcloud.com/rachel_debattista/without-you-rough-poemsong.
And on top of that, we have Al Z (@al-z-z-z) playing another great lead guitar and Pete (https://soundcloud.com/midipunk) bringing the song to live with his drums and cool fills!
Here it is! We hope, you have as much fun listening to it, than we had, recording it!

In a world full of stories,
In a world full of fear
Why can’t I use my mind
To say I love you, dear?
Every morning there’s a piece of the story missing - without you
Every day there’s a part of me - urging to find you
Without you there’ll be something, missing from this world of mine
Without you there’ll be nothing - every time.
Hard enough to remember,
Close enough not to cry
Will we ever experience, 
what it feels like to smile?
Every morning there’s a piece of the story missing - without you
Every day there’s a part of me - urging to find you
Without you there’ll be something, missing from this world of mine
Without you there’ll be nothing. Every time…
Everytime that I miss you, I mean it,
I see you looking in my eyes,
I want to, relive us, every time
Take back the hatred,
Why is it that we’re so blind
To see that all is crumbling down
Right in front of our eyes?
Every time.

Next to Me (ft. Katze Königsberg)

Written, performed and produced by @rachel_debattista and Michael Heider, December 2019.
Our entry for the Collab Challenge at www.songwriter-forum-kitchen.com/

Close, yet far and in between
The lightning’s got me going
To a place I’ve never been or seen
 
Stay wherever it might take you
Wherever there’s a way
I promise it won’t interfere

Whoever’s standing will be known
And their reward is gonna show
And every moment that is gone
I say I will survive
And I can’t stand where I can't see
Cos everywhere will disappear
And I don’t know if it’s the end or just the start

Down the rabbit hole and out
To face a world unknown
Stumbling onto foreign lands

So take another leap of faith,
Though fear has left me shaking
I close my eyes and you are there

Whoever’s standing will be known
And their reward is gonna show
And every moment that is gone
I say I will survive
And I can’t stand where I can't see
Cos everywhere will disappear
And I don’t know if it’s the end or just the start

It’s bound to happen, worth a try
Am I the one who’s left behind?
Or is it now I’ll learn to fly and use my wings for the first time
A silhouette of unknown faces
Blurs my way and leaves no traces
Reaching out from the night sky
Escaping through the empty spaces on my mind

Whoever’s standing will be known
And their reward is gonna show
And every moment that is gone
I say I will survive
And I can’t stand where I can't see
Cos everywhere will disappear
And I don’t know (I don’t know…)

And I can’t stand where I can't see
Cos everywhere will disappear
And I don’t know if it’s the end or just the start
The start of something real

Dedicated to a very beautiful soul :) <3

Lyrics:
Time flowed softly by,
Now nothing is left to tinge the path outside
Surf through the last of tides

The sweetest thoughts
are carried by your smile

It is now you get to see
What you might have missed
Hear the music play the tunes
That hid within the mist

Strumming to the beat
Carried by the wind

A state of…
Falling past the rigid edge of time
Straighten out your wings
Figure there’s no space for letting yourself down

Fly beyond the limits of your dreams
I can’t feel the earth
Holding down my feet
No more

It’s time, that hopes unite,
Untie the heavy feeling, let your heart ignite
A sense of life
Unblemished by the thoughts inside your mind

Far away from sight
Things may be unclear
Strategies have gone wrong
But you will seek to persevere

Carry on your track
One step at a time

Unblemished (collab)

DeeP. and the Couch King EP collectable stickers and zine available on Bandcamp here: https://musiciselation.bandcamp.com/album/deep-and-the-couch-king

This is the 3rd original song that DeeP. and I worked on together. I really appreciate his experimental yet accessible dark and soulful production work. I like how his music allows me to touch on topics that I normally wouldn’t write about if I were leading the music production. I have been reflecting on how it is important to stretch and grow and try new things. DeeP.’s music really helps me to achieve this goal and his mixing and mastering really brings out the best in me. 

I wanted this song to fit in thematically with the other 2 songs we worked on but I felt the music wanted me to expand the range of subject matter. Therefore, I went gothic and took my cues from gothic literature, such as The Castle of Otranto and Frankenstein, and tried to channel those literary elements into a pop song. For the subject matter I was also reflecting on how psychic connections and empathy can be draining unless one develops and maintains skills to remain grounded and whole. 

It is so fun to make music with musicians one admires. SoundCloud is the best place to be a fan. Both Phil McWalter and Nathalie B20 are SoundCloud legends and incredibly talented and prolific musicians who I have listened to for years now. I feel super honored to have finally gotten the chance to make music with these giants. I hope they had fun as well!!!

Lyrics

I’m loosing my self 
You’re sucking me out
I was having my doubts
But you casted them out 
Now I’m devout without will to walkout 
Somehow you got me

Every time I think a you 
I get linked up with you 
And then I’m tangled up in your mind 
Can’t go a week with you 
Before I think were through 
Because I’m going straight out of my mind
Try not to let it
Don’t let it
Get to me
Your consuming all my energy 
Don’t call me gothic
Though I believe I got bit
You sucked all the life outta me

How naive was I to begin with
Thin skinned and an optimist 
Going all in a romanticist
Fool hearted on destiny’s myth 
Still in the grips of youthful bliss
You knew I could be possessed by just one kiss
Cupid’s potion’s in spit
Oh how I wished I could take just one more sip
One more hit 
All the more craved by the way you withheld it
Blood from bit lips 
Lust in wet drips 
Pulsating of molded hips 
Through the veil of lunar eclipse 
There’s a pirate on one of those passing ships

Entangled in your clutches of guilt 
Such is the life anguish built 
Enchanted to hear the lilt of your final
Siren song once again 
There’s a little death in your bite of venom
Pandora’s box in your denim  
The sting of lies that become truths if you let ‘em
Any wrongdoings you sleuth 
I can never forget ‘em
Bound to my faults 
Wounds ’n deep salts
Trapped in this waltz
Every step out of time 
You’re makin’ sure I regret ‘em 
Through the veil of lunar eclipse 
You cast your net and I got caught in ’em
