Track 2 of Fate's Mistake EP. Went deep into the drum rhythms on this track. I actually made 2 separate kits to play around with on the Synthstrom Deluge. Bass chords were a from scratch patch I made on the Deluge. Lead was from the Arturia MicroFreak.

Premise of Premonition (Fate's Mistake)

Dear Esther,
the gulls no longer land here; I have noticed that they seem to have avoided this place this year. Perhaps it is the decimation of the fish population that is driving them away. Or maybe it's me...

An incredibly beautiful PC game with a pull. It made me decide on this.

Liebe Esther,
die Möwen landen hier nicht mehr; ich habe festgestellt, dass sie in diesem Jahr diesen Ort gemieden zu haben scheinen. Vielleicht ist es die Dezimierung des Fischbestandes, die sie vertreibt. Vielleicht liegt es auch an mir...

Ein unglaublich schönes PC-Spiel mit Sogwirkung. Es hat mich zu diesem Titel bewogen...

Dear Esther

It is more difficult to change what's going around us than to make changes within ourselves. Let's start with the easier of the two?

Elliana's "Can't Stop (Falling in Love)" takes you through the experience of truly being in love with somebody - a feeling so wonderful, there was no choice but to write a song about it!

Lyrics: Elliana Stocks

Can't Stop (Falling In Love)

Jaime J. Ross and I wrote this song in January 2012 for our Soundcloud community: 
https://soundcloud.com/jaime-and-rock/the-sailor-jaime-j-ross-and-rock-flexible-january-2012
I always wanted to revisit this song and make a new version. In January 2022, 10 years after, I made this new alternative version :)

The Sailor (Lyrics by Jaime J. Ross)

I stare across the water 
As gentle as can be 
My love, my son you carry 
While the sea, She carries me

I'm writing you a letter 
For our son I haven't met 
Please hold him tight and love him 
I'm not able to just yet...

Dear son you are so special 
I've loved you for all time 
Your Mother gave me such a gift 
A blessing that's all mine

As I look up to the heavens 
And think of all I am 
I'm thankful for my little boy 
Who I'll watch become a man

Please feel the love I'm sending 
Through this letter that you hold 
And know I'm thinking of you 
Til the sea, She brings me home.

As you walk through life I'll follow 
But, I'll watch you from afar 
I'll let you be what you desire 
And love just who you are

These stars that look down on me 
They shine as well for you 
Look out and think of me, my son 
I'll be coming home real soon

There is no bigger blessing 
Than a son to call my own 
I'm counting down these lonely days 
Til the sea, She brings me home

Please feel the love I'm sending 
Through this letter that you hold 
And know I'm thinking of you 
Til the sea, She brings me home.

The Sailor - KleinFolk (10 years anniversary version)

Infinite Point of Light.:Collabaoration between Svayam and Steve Coombes.

Vocals, guitar, and foot operated drums all performed live by Franko Malley

wasted away again
now i'm coming home my friend
this is not the way i envisioned it
it's all my fault

its not the time to mend and heal
its time to make repairs
all my loves and my relationships
and to all the things i broke

the air... still feels...
the same... round here...
and i'm all there is to blame
and its all my fault

the faces when i close my eyes
remind me of my shame.
and take me to a place i can't let go
and it's all my fault

just let me go home
i can do better
i can do better

all these tears can't wash away all that wretched pain
just let me do better
lord let me do better

there's that line in the dirt
made of soil and decay
let me do better
let me do better

theres that long dark road
where i been down before
let me do better
let me do better

Dark Roads

I live in a country where, for example:

•	A new “animal welfare” bill will ensure that around 100 million sentient animals each year will suffer extreme, prolonged trauma and pain as they are slaughtered without having first been stunned.  This is in order to respect minority religious beliefs.
•	Male convicted child abusers and rapists who decide to “identify as a woman” have the right to serve their sentences in women-only prisons so that their rights are not compromised.
•	The desperate, hysterical craving for universal “equality” manifests itself in obscene levels of positive discrimination to deliver race / gender etc "quotas".
•	Ransoms of hundreds of millions of pounds are paid to crass despotic theocracies to release hostages – money that will fund the development of nuclear programmes that those state-agents of god intend to deploy for the obliteration of neighbouring countries and their cultures.
•	A high ranking female politician declines the invitation to define what a woman is, for fear of “being dragged down a rabbit hole”.
•	Police and local government services turn a blind eye to industrial scale sexual abuse of vulnerable young girls to avoid stirring racial tensions.
•	It is decreed that if we can’t buy our oil from a thief we may as well buy it from a murderer as pumping our own plentiful supplies locally may offend environmentalists.
•	Ad infinitum.

The country I live in used to be called England.

Last night I read her the last rights, sang her this little poem I made up for her and cradled her as she slipped fitfully away.

I didn’t bother to mark the grave.

The Cold Blooded Murder Of Albion

Whisper, sweet love,
Did you feel any hurt,
As they hacked at your heart
With their blunt knives of dirt?
Love of my life!
Did you feel any pain?
As they raised up their rocks
To stone your brain.

The true paragon of fair
Balanced and just.
Slain by dogmas of air
Lunatic liberal lust.
I’ll lullaby your dead heart
That pulmonary shocks can’t restart
We’re history consigned,
To bedlam resigned.
But I’d rather rot dead
Than wake in a contemporary bed
Of moral principle smoothies
In a world that eschews me.
Hush, don’t make a fuss, there’s no need to discuss
Spinning whirlpools of statuesque dust
All relics of pride, I’ve laid delicately aside
In simple disgust.

The Cold Blooded Murder Of Albion

‘Riders On The Dike’ features the vocals of UK singer/songwriter Amanda Kim Sanderson. Thank you for your friendship and the way you rock the track Amanda! :) It is such a pleasure to work with you and we are mighty proud that you joined us for this song! Follow the amazing Amanda Kim Sanderson on Soundcloud: @phoebeelena


The cover artwork comes from an original idea from the New York Artist Louis Renzoni, who said something like that Para Lia uses the same colors like he does - so the idea of a collaboration was born. Louis artwork runs throughout the album where the artists’ work features more extensively with both featuring in an online virtual music/art exhibition:

Thank you @mrcagey @three-photons @andrew-borderick @subjecttorevision @terrywigmore @fadysporz for your feedback on the mastered stuff!

follow me, we're on the way
to make more out of today
and when we fail we change course
milestones won't move
but our creeping paths are pretty cool
we're the today's soft option fools
i don't know if it's too late
i don't know how long we'll stay
the idea is to go higher
fly over by my side
with curiosity in mind
we are on the loose
we are the riders on the dike
hand me over my fate
and stay with me along the way
if you come around i am okay
i don't know if it's too late
i don't know how long we'll stay
the idea is to go higher
fly over by my side
with curiosity in mind
we are on the loose
we are the riders on the dike
the riders on the dike

Genocide, June 2025:
Israel is only the executioner, every nation which has armed that country in the past year is an accessory to that genocide, an accomplice, a facilitator.  We cannot talk about war crimes because when you target unarmed civilians, mostly women and children, we are talking about a massacre, like terrorists do, not a war. The people who orchestrated that massacre, in the US, the most duplicitous, followed by those of the UK, Germany, France, and probably a few lesser ones should be tried for crimes against humanity just as well as Netanyahu and his cabinet, because it has been going on for two years, generously reported by media of all kinds, so the enablers knew exactly how the arms were to be used, as a tool for revenge, domination, and humiliation of the Palestinian people.  The conflict has ceased to be about the defense of anything for months.

The parties responsible have made a mockery of decency, morals, fairness, proportion, or justice, not to mention empathy.  Of what little there was, these concepts will be a lot longer to come back than they were to be struck down.  

Is it 1984 already?!?!

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

...

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
... Sorry Joe. =(
...

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
