Like the vocals a lot very ethereal sound

Lovely song and beautiful voice, well done 👏

Deep respect for the beauty you’ve created!

That’s a very fine vocal, rightly left alone to do its stuff. A strong and pretty melody. I like the fact you leave the voice to lead whilst the synths/ strings play gently behind. Good lyric too. Nice fade out….

Sinto falta do teu calor
Sinto falta do teu olhar
De fazer parte do teu lar
De ver você sonhar
Sinto falta da tua paz
Ao final de um dia bom

Sinto falta de não saber
O que as pessoas têm de mal
Quando penso em falar de você
Não sei nem por onde começar
Quando penso no teu amor
Quando penso no teu olhar

Sinto falta de te ver sorrir
Até de coisas sem valor
Te ver brincar até o sol se pôr
Na areia da beira do mar

Ver você dormindo no sofá
Pés sujos de tanto brincar

===========================

I miss your warmth
I miss your gaze
Being a part of your home
Watching you dream
I miss your peace
At the end of a good day

I miss not knowing
What's wrong with people
When I think about talking about you
I don't even know where to start
When I think about your love
When I think about your gaze

I miss seeing you smile
Even at worthless things
Watching you play until the sun sets
On the sand by the seashore

Seeing you asleep on the sofa
Feet dirty from so much playing

Ao final de um dia bom

AŬSKULTI's new release is called SECOND CHANCE
A powerful and dense interpretation of a near death experience and everything that comes after.

«AŬSKULTI is both a safe space for me to express my feelings and a common place where I send my tracks to other musicians and fellow improvisers to send me their contributions. The base tracks of SECOND CHANCE were recorded days after a near-death experience in a car accident and are, therefore, a way to cope with the recent trauma but also the recognition of the absurdity of life as well as new possibilities. 

I am forever grateful to all of those who received this piece of my coping experience and gave it meaning, recognition, and a second chance at life.»

João Svayam

«There are moments when time collapses and, in an instant, everything that was certain dissolves and the spectre of the end works on us in an irreversible way.
The album Second Chance is born from that moment: a place where the fragile matter of life becomes sound, where the silence that rises after an accident that puts life on a thin line is filled with echoes, textures, and uncertain pulsars.

Second Chance is a journey through these emotional territories where each track is like an intuitive reconstruction of memory, of fear, of vertigo, and finally of light. It is not just about survival, but about what comes after: the amazement, the lucidity of being alive and the gratitude of receiving a second chance.

The sound compositions that make up the album extend like a glassy mist that fragments without ever ceasing to reorganise and reunite.
“Second Chance” is an album that does not seek to explain, but to make you feel… to touch the margins of what is left unsaid. It is born from the gap between collision and silence, where life, suspended, questions itself. It does not celebrate the return, it celebrates the wonder and vertigo of still being here.»

The lyrics created from Ed's 'Social Excercise No 4'  (see https://soundcloud.com/api_zz/tell-your-story) spawned another mellow tune ... have a listen and enjoy !

It's Your Story

Rapture is a new collaboration between the Beating Edge and Joe Stroffolino, following the awesome 'Asteroids (The Original Was Better) (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/asteroids-the-original-was). Joe wrote both the lyrics and the original music, while the Beating Edge rearranged and recorded it in a punchy rock style, adding driving guitars, strong rhythm, and dynamic choruses. Vocals feature Tom on lead, with Joe and Mary contributing both backing vocals and lead parts on certain verses and the bridge, creating a layered and energetic vocal texture.
The song explores the absurdity and irony of doomsday prophecies, the obsession with the rapture, and the endless cycle of believers and false prophets. It blends satirical storytelling with a critical eye on human behavior, delivering a mix of humor, intensity, and thought-provoking commentary through energetic rock arrangements.
Rapture is a track that engages both the mind and the ears, combining narrative, power, and fun in equal measure.
Edit: In the meantime, Joe has released his amazing acoustic version of this song! Don’t miss it! 🫶 https://soundcloud.com/joseph-stroffolino/e8ccb0a6-eda9-457d-89d9-6bbbfbbd038b

Lyrics:

These prophets who say the world's gonna end and they set a specific date
And then when it doesn't happen, their followers still think they're great
The sun rises the next morning and people stumble out of bed
Disappointed that the rapture didn't happen and they're still alive instead of dead

All these people going through the motions, trying to deal with the daily grind
Hoping the rapture comes soon and they're not the ones who are left behind

They claim they have a direct line to God but there was a glitch in the connection
But now they're certain of the expiration date so they issue a correction
The shepherd guides the flock and tries to keep them safe from harm
But how many times can you cry wolf before people ignore your alarm

All these people going through the motions, trying to deal with the daily grind
Hoping the rapture comes soon and they're not the ones who are left behind

Who cares about the environment if you think the world is gonna end
And you're convinced the second coming is right around the bend
So drill baby drill and chop down all the plants and trees
No need to spend money on curing terrible disease

In every generation throughout history, people were certain that the rapture would come
And they had followers willing to believe them as they fed them each a tiny crumb
In baseball you only get three strikes and then the umpire says you're out
But when it comes to doomsday prophecies, the true believers have no doubt

All these people going through the motions, trying to deal with the daily grind
Hoping the rapture comes soon and they're not the ones who are left behind

Rapture

I wanted to get the Magnificat out of its 'churchiness' because it's about a spiritual experience that is open to all.  

So this is it: a mix-up of freeform jazz, blues and gospel ... hope you like it! 🙏😇

Thanks to CSoul on ccMixter for letting me remix his track:  Be Disembodied Spirit.

"Alchemy of Life" is a tribute to Maria Skłodowska-Curie, who was one of the few people in the world to win two Nobel Prizes in two different fields: physics and chemistry. The piece captures the extraordinary passion and determination of this scientist, who was unafraid to face dangers in the name of progress. It reminds us that every step in science, although it can lead to great discoveries, carries risks, even mortal ones. Despite this, Maria Skłodowska-Curie constantly strived to expand the frontiers of knowledge, aware of the dangers her research posed. The piece highlights both her genius and her courage and dedication to science. It reminds us that science, while fraught with challenges, is also a passion that drives humanity forward. It is a tribute to her legacy, which continues to inspire future generations of scientists.

Eric Wilson - The Girl Who Said She Loved Me

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 ...
