“This song is so expressive to me that I felt it would transition to a stripped back acoustic version fantastically and I believe it does. Most of my music begins acoustically so it is nice to showcase the melody and the lyrics in a version like this. I love the craft of songwriting and I feel grateful to have been inspired to write this song” 

A song about mental health - “Everything”

Its been a long time coming 
I can say this for myself
I only want whats mine
A simple peace of mind
A simple place of mine, my own 
my own

I will treat it like the last time
On my way to the finish line 
I'm taking back what is mine
I’m not settling this time

I can feel it in my heartbeat
Once again walking down this street
I'm letting go of everything
Living and letting go of everything

Its been a long time coming and I know
I can feel this in myself, in myself I feel it
Sometimes I want to explode
Sometimes I feel I’ll implode
I’m moving on, here’s my everything 
All that I’ve got to give

Hear me now
My open heart is screaming
Screaming out 
You’re in my brain that is freer now
I’m starting to believe again, in me 
in me

[UPDATE] Reviews are coming in for Judy!

“From start to finish this song packs a beautiful punch and encourages the listener to ultimately get out there and live their life to the fullest.” - Gifted Balance Records, The Study Lounge Blog
https://www.giftedbalancerecords.com/thestudylounge/davidtarojudy

“A beautiful and pretty sounding song with a stinger ending and a great, radio friendly length, Judy has all the elements needed for a huge hit that already sounds absolutely timeless. One of our favourites in a long time.” - Send Me Your Ears
https://sendmeyourears.com/david-taro-judy/

“Representing the London music scene, David Taro is a singer, songwriter, and multi-talented performer who’s put his signature essence on his latest, ’Judy’. Keeping things genuine in the song’s prowess to tell a compelling story through imagery-filled lyricism, there’s definitely an optimism that comes through by the final notes.” - We Write About Music

Thank you for listening

LYRICS:

Judy wakes up
Sips from a cup of coffee
Runs for the bus
Same way she has forever
And if you don’t get too excited
Well, you won’t be sorry

Judy is bored
Largely ignored by colleagues
Chews on a pen
Turns back again to the spreadsheet
And if you don’t have dreams to start with
Well, they can’t get broken
And ah, they can’t get broken

Judy has friends
Katie and Ben and Emily
Known them for years
Drank cheap wine and beer in their company
But she don’t see much of them these days
They’ve all got families
And ah, they’ve all got families

Judy, if wanna live the way you wanna
Who am I to judge you
You don’t have to be like you get told to be like
Don’t need someone to love you

Judy comes home
Has dinner alone in her bedroom
Washes her plate
Stays up til late with the TV
And when she turns the lights off
Well, she won't be sorry
Ah, she won't be sorry
Ah, she won't be sorry

LYRICS
-------------

Adrift In a world that you can't comprehend
As you shuffle down sidewalks you used to defend
And pick through the garbage from parties you no longer attend

You know you're a stranger in still stranger lands
Where the crumbling monuments once used to stand
And they look at you funny when you ask them where to find an honest man

When you're gone, long, long gone

When they try to dismiss you, you piss on their shoes
As they fondle their falsehoods and call them the truth
If only the hunger in our bellies were so easily soothed

But you are not like them and you don't even try
No matter how rotten, you can't make them cry
You're as real as their shadows but they'll never understand why

Until you're gone, long, long gone

So you eat in the market and sleep in a hole
You drink from your hands now instead of a bowl
Stand naked before them to show how the years take their toll

And when the wild dogs come to nip at your legs
And the passing onlookers who expect you to beg
But your life was a promise and it's far too late now to renege

And then you're gone, long, long gone

This is a sound sculpture by She's Excited! featuring Clara Francesca for the exhibition #MakeUsVisible in Venice, Italy. It is showcased at the Off-Biennale at the Venice Climate Change Pavilion.

“Entangled Waters” by She’s Excited! invites you on an immersive journey into the sounds of the mediterranean sea and the Venice lagoon. Peaceful soundscapes of seagulls and the ocean are juxtaposed with the threatening reality the lagoon is facing: noise and water pollution, thunderstorms and high water. Some 20 million visitors flood into Venice each year. Vaporettos and other ships disrupt flora and fauna. The sea levels are rising and Venice is sinking. There is no Planet B. We are inescapably entangled with our surroundings and our environment. 
The soundbites performed by Clara Francesca are from Anton Chekhov’s play “Uncle Vanya” and from Donna Haraway’s “Staying With The Trouble”: This is an urgency, not an emergency. Stay with the trouble. 

“Entangled Waters” is an iteration of the soundscape for the performance art piece “Inescapable Entanglement” by MEDIACOELI and XRE, which premiered at Ars Electronica Festival 2022.

Last black friday I decided to extend my string libraries and bought CSS and CSSS. In order to really work my way into this libraries, get to know their strengths and weaknesses and to learn how to properly use it, I wrote this piece called "Sehnsucht" (German for "longing").
It took me quite a while to get the arrangement and sound right but here it is! :-D

Sehnsucht

Lyrics

Get on the bus get on the bus, Get on the bus wlth us
c'mon c'mon get on the bus
There's Gus, who drives the bus and he does Everything for us
He's got the peddle down--

and all the band and larry mary sid and johnny too and that's to jjust to name a few
and all of you who have the eyes and ears to hear and see-
all of us are on that bus Telepathically
so you had better be ln the vicinity of the bus
whose designated destination ls infinity and all points ln between

Believe you me, there ls no comfort or relief ln Clarity
Truer words were never spoken and even though we're all broken
here's a little token of the love l'm feeling for the instant beauty of the moment

Everyone ls psychedelic from those purple Mlcrodots
Fuel ls burning under stars so bright
on the bus, 10 feet off the ground
blacktop slippin under us at half the speed of light

Now lt comes flowln down, lt washes over me
something l can hear, but l can't exactly see-
Cans are Blarin, l'm just starin
hearin things we can't believe
music soothin, lt's not Taxing so relaxing
making music with some friends of mine
making noises so Delightful-
on the bus, where betrayal ls the only thing
that's not allowed

Come along, you're all lnvlted to rlde the bus wlth us
get on the bus get on the bus
c'mon get on the bus
don't make a Fuss
Just get on the bus
