This is beautiful love the vocal work on this ✨

Great vocalist, reminds me of billie eillish

Lyrics.vocals.arrangement.everything is perfect 🤩

One of my very personal favorites on this release, Rising Above The Madness. Psychedelic acoustic instrumental. Passionately layer some very cool "violin strings" arrangements around my acoustic guitar tracks. Hope everyone enjoys this colorful dreamy psychedelic reflective journey titled, "Dream Tunnel."

Rising Above The Madness

Dream Tunnel

CATCH UP!

Written as part of the collaborative Extended Play, “9D4”, featuring Zavage Z and Seles94.

Older (Zavage Z x Seles94)

This song is about the illusion of 'maya', aka the 'simulation', and about how only divine love or 'bhakti' can penetrate its veils or coding.

Words:
You sent me the colours of a summer’s dawn 
On the morning of Solstice, last year. 
Wedding band gold and Bridie’s slipper pink,
Just one small, shy honeysuckle flower…
But it was enough to make your feelings clear. 

The bloom then faded, and it followed the Sun 
On its passage down to the Underworld, 
I looked every day, but no more have come. 
Yet your passion for me will last and last, 
For long after this life’s romance is done. 

You make love to me in every dimension, 
In every realm, but not, it seems, this one. 
I know you’re there, hiding in your creation 
Your love song, your maya simulation 
That masks you from the sight of my heart.
The juggler, the trickster, the mercurial mixer
Of this Venetian carnival’s Commedia Dell’arte. 

Sometimes you leave me tiny dew-drop diamonds 
To show you care, to show you’re really there 
In my night garden at dusk; then at midnight 
You come in my dreams to spirit me away
And up the stairway to paradise, 
To paradise … and your Divine Play.

Divine Commedia Dell'arte

I'VE NO MORE FUCKS TO GIVE
Music by Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq
Jazz Arrangement by Overdrive

This is my jazz version of the hilarious song by Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq. Of course, the influence of Richard Cheese and his outrageous lounge music versions of famous rock songs is undeniable.

Check out the amazing original version by Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq:

LYRICS
I'VE NO MORE FUCKS TO GIVE

I've tried, tried, tried, and I've tried even more
I've cried, cried, cried, and I can't recall what for
I've pressed, I've pushed, I've yelled, I've begged in hopes of some success
But the inevitable fact is that it never will impress

I've no more fucks to give, my fucks have runneth dry
I've tried to go fuck shopping but there's no fucks left to buy
I've no more fucks to give, though more fucks I've tried to get
I'm over my fuck budget and I'm now in fucking debt

I strived, strived, strived, to get everything done
I played by all the rules, but I very rarely won
I've smiled, I've charmed, I've wooed and laughed, alas to no avail
I've run 'round like a moron to unequivocally fail

I've no more fucks to give, my fuck fuse has just blown
I've been hunting for my fucks all day
But they've upped and fucked off home
I've no more fucks to give, my fuck rations are depleted
I've rallied my fuck army, but it's been fucking defeated

The effort has just not been worth the time or the expense
I've exhausted all my energy for minimal recompense
The distinct lack of acknowledgement has now begun to gall
And I've come to realise that I don't give a fuck at all

I've no more fucks to give, my fucks have flown away
My fucks are now so fucked off they refuse to fucking stay
I've no more fucks to give, my fucks have gone insane
They've come back round and passed me while they're fucking off again

I've no more fucks to give, my fucks have all dissolved
I've planned many projects, but my fucks won't be involved
I've no more fucks to give, my fucks have all been spent
They've fucked off from the building and I don't know where they went

I've no more fucks to give
I've no more fucks to give
I've no more fucks, I've no more fucks, I've no more fucks to give

I've No More Fucks To Give

About a guy who takes in the city's vibe to uplift him after having a stressful time.


Lyrics:

The City's Vibe           
(c) 2024   Gary Randman

[Verse 1]
Called my girl at five
Babe get ready for the night
Have this need to cruise the town
Find them bars with the cool sounds
Leave my work behind
Meet her at the subway line
Waiting for the downtown train
Dancing as some music plays

[Verse 2]
When we find our way
Get a table near the stage
Find some comfort drinking wine
Let the music soothe our minds
When it's time to go
We hit the streets and roam
City lights help guide the way
Looking up above amazed


[Bridge]
The city's alive
I'm feeling its vibe
Like some kind of high
Helps me clear my mind
Cause lately
Going crazy
In my mind
The city breathes me life
Makes me feel alive
The sights
The sounds
They supply
An energy that thrives
Reaching deep inside

The City's Vibe [Demo]

Track eleven on Ben Mercedez's album Hollywood Idol, "Conceited"

"Hollywood Idol" the album, out MARCH 7TH

Produced by: Ben Mercedez
Written by: Ben Mercedez
Performed by: Ben Mercedez

Lyrics:

Everything, I do lust
In time, I have to trust
Every man is a good man until he sees the one
Then I pull his trigger, I release his gun
Deception and protection are all he knows
Unravel them all I expose
Brewing inside my lonely heart
Soon I'll make him my sweet tart

Jealousy
Soon I'll release

'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I'll take the throne, I'll be the one
'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I want it all, I'll shoot the gun

(Shoot the gun, I'll be the one)

Fire in the rain, on a hell beant summer night
Ice in my veins as I take the final bite
It's all very lovely, when we get to know each other
Call me the parasite as I inject my, CYANIDE 
Birds flying out of my mouth voodoo doll to use
I'll take him down south, where I later introduce
A lovely new adventure where we get to know each other
Calls me his lover oh you better take cover

Jealousy
Soon I'll release

'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I'll take the throne, I'll be the one
'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I want it all, I'll shoot the gun

'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I'll take the throne, I'll be the one
'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I want it all, I'll shoot the gun

I have an infatuation for the untouchable
I only want what I can't have
Envy, won't, leave, me
I guess you could say that I've gone to shit
You would never understand my pretense
Jealousy, won't, leave, me

Now the boy he has to decide
Which road he will soon reside
Put on a brave face and lose control
Or wear the mask and bare her soul
Deep down I know the truth
The dark kind I don't dwell on
This game will never last
Kiss me goodbye I'm in the past

'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I'll take the throne, I'll be the one
'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I want it all, I'll shoot the gun

'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I'll take the throne, I'll be the one
'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I want it all, I'll shoot the gun

"The Crowells were the first people I met who never said something was red. They'd say a thing was puce or mauve or magenta or vermillion and I wouldn't know if that was more like red or green. They called me color deaf." 
This lovely little story is published in The Next Whole Earth Catalog, 1980, p303, The Rising Sun, Neighborhood Newsletter. And this story inspired this tune. 

Color Deaf

Hiver

Being musician and artist "since ages", the last two decades and all the developments in digital music broadened my interests and activities in doing music actively and passively. Not being shy of any genre (OK, leave off some Punk and Extreme Metal derivates) I engage in composing, arranging, mixing and collaborating. 

Oh, and I do all my artwork and designs as well. And as you may notice I regard AI as a friendly helper.

Have a few looks & listens into my repertoire and eventually gain some insights. I'm always open for collabs if the the interests match ...
