What amazing delivery, vocals are top and clean production 10/10 , love it <3

I see the cracks beneath your skin
The places where the light’s worn thin
You wear your strength like armor cold
But I can feel the weight you hold

You think you’re strong, but I see through
The truth is I’m fragile too

Fragile like the morning rain
Breaking but we rise again
We carry scars, we play it cool
But I’m fragile, fragile too

You hide your fears behind your smile
I’ve seen them linger for a while

It’s not just you, it’s me, it’s us
In fragile hands, we build our trust

Fragile like the morning rain
Breaking but we rise again
We carry scars, we play it cool
But I’m fragile, fragile too

Let’s stop pretending we don’t break
It’s in the cracks our shapes take place
I’ll hold your shadows, hold them close
If you’ll carry mine, I’ll let them go

Fragile like the morning rain
Breaking but we rise again
We’ve carried scars, we’ve played it cool
But I’m fragile, fragile too

Fragile like the open sky
Shattered but we learn to fly
In every flaw, a light shines through
Because I’m fragile, fragile too

I see the cracks beneath your skin
The places where the light gets in

Fragile Too

BOTOX BABIES
Original version by The Dream Eaters
Remix by Overdrive & Marc Freak

Check out the promo video on Instagram:

This is a reinterpretation/remix of the song BOTOX BABIES by the duo The Dream Eaters. The original version is only 12 seconds long, and even with that short duration it's absolutely brilliant. So in November 2024, I contacted Jake Zavracky via email, told him I couldn't get Botox Babies out of my head and asked if I could do a remix of the song. In a completely irresponsible act, he agreed (lol) 😄 So I called in the talented singer Marc Freak to do the vocals and you know, when you put two guys together who like B-52, you can't come up with anything that doesn't have a strong B-52 influence.

Well, Jake, the only thing I know is that it's too late to regret it. 😄

Hope you like the remix.

THE DREAM EATERS:

The Dream Eaters can be defined as The Carpenters meets Slayer. Formed by the duo Jake Zavracky and Elizabeth LeBaron, the band is a full-on video art project with an extensive catalog of quirky, darkly humorous music videos of their catchy pop songs, and has a cult fan base. I'm a big fan of the band's work and highly recommend a visit to their Instagram:

MARC FREAK:

A prolific musician, author, photographer and oddity, Marc's influences range from the lo-fi pop of Guided by Voices to the gothic melodrama of Nick Cave, via the glam of Bowie and the rawness of Iggy Pop. Former frontman of Freak Circus and Dead Joe, an experiment in DIY and lo-fi. A visit to Marc Freak's Soundcloud page is an absolute must:

OS INVITO A PENSAR

Soy un hombre de los muchos
que se quejan de su suerte;
de esa “dama” y sus caprichos
que rara vez viene a verme.

Sin embargo, veo otras gentes
sin ninguna preocupación;
eso al menos me parece,
aunque, tal vez, sea una visión.

Pero hoy estando pensando
he visto al fin la realidad
y sin querer me he convencido
de que no me puedo quejar.

Hoy, amigos, os invito a pensar
y conmigo quiero que analicéis
si, a veces, no es injusto ese pesar
producido por la inconformidad.

Si la envidia os arrastra al rencor
yo os ruego que a vuestro lado miréis
para que os percatéis del error
pues tu hermano se encuentra aún peor.

Estribillo

Decidme si no es la verdad
que nos quejamos de vicio:
estemos en cualquier sitio
siempre pedimos ¡más y más!

Decidme si no es la verdad
que al ver sufrir al prójimo
sentimos que el egoísmo 
tergiversa la realidad

-------------

No os pido que aprendáis la lección
que en sí encierra ese tópico refrán
que habla de tontos y de consolación
pues comprendo que no es la solución.


Sólo quiero que escuchéis mi canción:
con su texto y total sinceridad
estudiéis vuestra postura y situación
y entonces ¡sacad la conclusión! 

Estribillo

I INVITE YOU TO THINK

I am one of the many men
who complain about their fate;
about that “lady” and her whims
who rarely comes to see me.

However, I see other people
without any concern;
at least that is what it seems to me,
although, perhaps, it is a vision.

But today, thinking
I have finally seen the reality
and without wanting to, I have convinced myself
that I cannot complain.

Today, friends, I invite you to think
and with me I want you to analyze
if, at times, this sorrow
produced by discontent is not unfair.

If envy drags you to resentment
I beg you to look at your side
so that you realize the error
because your brother is even worse off.

Chorus

Tell me if it is not the truth
that we complain out of vice:
wherever we are
we always ask for more and more!

Tell me if it isn't true
that when we see others suffer
we feel that selfishness
distorts reality

-------------

I'm not asking you to learn the lesson
that is contained in that cliché saying
that speaks of fools and consolation
because I understand that it is not the solution.

I just want you to listen to my song:
with its lyrics and total sincerity
study your position and situation
and then draw the conclusion!

Chorus

¿Por qué?

Madre hoy te quiero pedir
una explicación por favor
a que yo no sea feliz
a que en mi vida falte amor.

Hija, lo que tengo te doy,
no me queda ya más que dar
dime tu problema, mi amor, 
que muy pronto se arreglará.

Madre, un vacío siento en mí
cuando me hago esta pregunta
que nunca tiene respuesta
y que me aleja más de ti.
 
¿Por qué yo no pude llamar 
papá como las demás niñas
y oír sobre sus rodillas
elogios propios de la edad?

¿Por qué yo no pude aprender
el bien de sus santos consejos,
sentir la emoción de sus besos
y hacerme a su lado mujer?

Hija, ven aquí y siéntate,
ahora te lo voy a explicar:
ya eres toda una mujer
y creo que comprenderás.

Cuando yo tenía tu edad
locamente me enamoré
de un hombre bueno y cabal
que quería hacerme su mujer.

Fruto de este amor viniste tú,
pero había intereses:
ellos se creían reyes
y yo no era sangre azul.

¿Por qué? Este es el porqué
de que ayer quedase en el barro,
de que tú me mires con reparo.
postura que logro entender.

¿Por qué? Este es el porqué
de que hoy no tengas un padre
de que te sepa a poco tu madre
y que siempre pensando estés.

Deja, no te esfuerces ya más
pues comprendo tu situación
y acato el final fatal
que destrozó tu corazón.

Pero no comprendo, mamá,
la postura de ese señor,
que me dices que era cabal
y después te abandonó.

Hija, esta vida es así:
el dinero y las herencias
son “la madre de la ciencia”
en este mundo tan ruin.

Why?

Mother, today I want to ask you
for an explanation, please
for why I am not happy
for why there is no love in my life.

Daughter, I give you what I have,
I have nothing left to give
tell me your problem, my love,
which will soon be fixed.

Mother, I feel an emptiness in me
when I ask myself this question
that never has an answer
and that distances me further from you.

Why couldn't I call
Dad like other girls
and hear on his knees
the praises appropriate to my age?

Why couldn't I learn
the good of his holy advice,
feel the emotion of his kisses
and become a woman at his side?

Daughter, come here and sit down,
now I will explain it to you:
you are already a woman
and I think you will understand.

When I was your age
I fell madly in love
with a good and honest man
who wanted to make me his woman.

You came as a result of this love,
but there were interests:
they thought they were kings
and I was not blue-blooded.

Why? This is why
yesterday I was left in the mud,
why you look at me with misgivings.
A position I can understand.

Why? This is why
you don't have a father today
why your mother doesn't suit you
and why you're always thinking.

Leave me alone, don't try any harder
because I understand your situation
and I accept the fatal end
that destroyed your heart.

But I don't understand, mom,
the position of that man,
who you tell me was honest
and then abandoned you.

My daughter, this is life:
money and inheritances
are "the mother of science"
in this vile world.

¿POR QUÉ? WHY?

Lyrics:
there's a mirror
at the end of the earth
if you look long enough
you can see the truth
there's a lesson
at the end of it all
in a message in a bottle
at the bottom of the waterfall
get it
go get it
good riddance
just kidding 
just go
god as my witness
you better get it
even though I bet my soul
that you end up missing

and it's great to be alive
live another day
take another life
I'm fading out of patience 
and the bandwidth I've been running
has been making me feel latency
change my ways bitch that's not fun
change my ways bitch I wanna die young
but I can't die young
If I don't die soon
cause I'm bout to be 30 
and they call me old dude
call me old dude cause my skin is grey
abuse this body can take
now never will I ever have to lay awake
thinkin bout the things I can never change
 

Happy Not Hateful

Bottom of the Waterfall

I'm A Star

I wanted to explore the theme of the instant “hit by the thunderbolt” as expressed in Godfather 2, when Michael Corleone and Appolonia meet for the first time. I’ve alchemically blended it with the notion of quantum entanglement: twin souls who, it’s believed, incarnate and reincarnate, lifetime after lifetime, just to be with one another. 

I fed the words into Udio with a few music prompts, and this is more or less what it produced, although greatly improved by the ‘maginations’ of Andreas (@APi_ZZ), who also mixed in my vocal with A.I.’s bluesy rock diva that we’ve affectionately named “Aretha”.

Lyrics by Annie Dieu-Le-Veut
Copyright © Annie Dieu-Le-Veut, January 2024

Under heated skies, lightning’s flashing bolts
The thunder rolls above, mysteries untold
Glimpses in the storm, faces blurred by rain
Our eternal destiny was drawing us again,
Amid the bustling streets, heartbeats interwove
In the crowded night, sparks began to glow.

It came upon that night in the storm, 
When we saw each other through the rain
Splashing on the ground, in London town,
We knew our lives would never be the same. 

Where’d I seen you before? Well, I didn’t know,
But your breath on my cheek wasn’t new to me.
Nor the touch of your hand, now at life’s command
We will love each other forever and a day. 

Thunderstruck in love, that’s what we were
And we’re still soaked in that love today.
A gift from the gods as it rained cats and dogs
And then your fast car just drove us away.

Thunderstruck

🙌🏻Here we are with another unusual experiment, though given how often we switch genres, it’s hard to define what’s truly "unusual" in our alien and wacky perspective! 🤪
This time, we’re diving into Jazz! To all the purists out there - don’t take it personally! We know this track is, in some ways, light-years away from traditional Jazz, but that’s exactly why we call it unconventional!
So sit back, relax, and enjoy this musical absurdity - call it Jazz if you like, or whatever you want!  
Happy listening!😉
Released on major streaming platforms on February 1, 2025.

Lyrics:

We've got honeyed notes and smoky bars
Tickling ivories and old guitars
A saxophone that wails with glee
The classic jazz in melody

Here comes the girl with a velvet voice
Singing heartache as her soulful choice
There's always rain on the windowpane
And metaphors about the pain

It's a jazz song, can't you hear
Every cliché crystal clear
From the moonlit nights to the lover's kiss
All wrapped up in this old-time bliss

Walking bass lines, tapping feet
City nights with scattered beat
There's a moaning trumpet in the air
Lost romance, a weary affair

Oh the clichés come alive
Scatting lines with no surprise
The same old rhymes and same old tune
Dancing under that blue moon.

Finger snaps, the smoky speakeasy feel
A midnight stroll, a lingering appeal
Love's always lost, but not so deep
It's all just jazz, we play to keep

It's a jazz song, can't you hear
Every cliché crystal clear
From the moonlit nights to the lover's kiss
All wrapped up in this old-time bliss

It's a jazz song, can't you hear
Every cliché crystal clear
From the moonlit nights to the lover's kiss
All wrapped up in this old-time bliss

Cliché
