Understand the Undercurrent

Old song remixed today 

I hear a riff in the clouds so high 
Strings bending like angels sigh 
A melody that won't let me cry 
Are there guitars in heaven 
Do they shine Do they glow 
Do they play the songs we know 
Are there guitars in heaven 
Strings of gold Frets of light 
Echoing through the endless night 
I see a chord painted on the sky 
Six lines drawn where dreams won't die 
A pic in the wind It whispers why 
Can you hear the sound 
Breaking through the ground 
Are there guitars in heaven 
Do they shine Do they glow 
Do they play the songs we know 
Are there guitars in heaven 
Strings of gold Frets of light 
Echoing through the endless night 
Play me a solo Soft and slow 
Let it burn Let it show 
If there's a stage where spirits go

Are there guitars in heaven .mp3

"Toxic" is a high-voltage instrumental journey through the shadows of manipulation and the light of inner resilience. Fueled by hypnotic acid lines, deep bass grooves, and soaring melodies, the track blends retro techno aesthetics with a modern melodic edge. It’s a sonic armor—each synth stab and bass pulse a strike against toxic energy. With no lyrics needed, "Toxic" speaks through rhythm and emotion, urging listeners to protect their core and dance through adversity with relentless spirit.

Lyric:
A candle in the dark
And in your own fashion
You burned it to the ground
Its sad but it's true
I can't get over you
I'm trying to breath 
But I'm choked by the fumes
Set me free
I'm just trying to breath
Let it go
Cus I can't keep hold
If I told you that I love you
Would you let everything slide
If I told you that I want you
Would I run and hide?

Thank you for listening!

The Survivors

Spaghetti Bolognese and Snickers Bars

The mind begins to dissolve with it’s first descent into the subconscious — where patterns unravel and reform in unexpected ways. Pulsing basslines stretch and bend, while shimmering synths ripple like echoes in a dream. It’s the sound of thought in freefall: hypnotic, fluid, and strangely familiar.

Let yourself drift. Let the signal guide you.

🎧 Headphones on. Eyes closed. Drift initiated.

Neural Drift MA5(Mind Array)

Little Did I Know

Five steps (each one with two parts) progressing along 3 minutes thru different styles: rock, psycho, pop, hard..., and finally back to the psychopoppy ones.

Letra / Lyrics:

No siempre he estado aquí (soy imperfecto) / I have not always been here (I am imperfect)

Cuando tengo frío, o tengo calor, / When I feel cold, or I feel hot,
cuando tropiezo, me quemo, o siento dolor… / when I stumble, I burn myself, or feel pain …

y  empiezo a pensar que no siempre he estado aquí, / and I start to think that I have not always been here,
y que todo en este mundo es ajeno a mí. / and that everything in this world is alien to me.

Pienso que este cuerpo / I think that this body
que me sirve para moverme / I use to move myself
no es todo lo perfecto que debiera. / is not as perfect as it had to.

Me siento extraño / I feel strange
donde tendría que estar a gusto, / where I should to be comfortable,
y me reconforto / and I feel better
cuando me relaciono bien con el mundo. / when I relate well to the world.

Empiezo a pensar en el tránsito; / I start to think about the passage;
que no siempre he estado ni estaré aquí; / that I have not always been nor will be here;
que mi vida es un entretenimiento / about my life being an entertainment
en el viaje a otro sitio. / along the trip to another place.

Y descubro lo profundo / And I discover the deepness
entre tanta superficialidad, / among so much superficialness,
si la meta de todo lo que hago / if the goal of everything I do
es comer y respirar, / is to eat and breathe,
¿qué clase de razón tengo en la cabeza? / what kind of reason do I have in my head?
¿qué soy yo dentro de este juego? / what am I within this game?

 descubro lo profundo / And I discover the deepness
entre tanta superficialidad, / among so much superficialness,
y me pongo a pensar, / and I start thinking,
y empiezo a pensar… / and I start to think …

y  empiezo a pensar que no siempre he estado aquí, / and I start to think that I have not always been here,
y que todo en este mundo es ajeno a mí. / and that everything in this world is alien to me.

Pienso que este cuerpo / I think that this body
que me sirve para moverme / I use to move myself
no es todo lo perfecto que debiera. / is not as perfect as it had to.
