Inspired by the legendary game from 1995: Hexen (my all time fav - I know, who cares). This track is absolutely recorded without any quantization (of course, the drumline is programmed). I hope you enjoy this one as well!

Seven Portals

With "Temporary Souls", Esplanada offers a musical meditation on fragility and impermanence. Between ethereal layers, a warm bass, and a muted groove that at times recalls the rhythmic elegance of Fleetwood Mac, the track moves forward like a lucid dream, carried by introspective vocals and arrangements that favor space and nuance. A piece that lingers in suspension long after its final note.

Temporary Souls

Two Wrongs Don’t Make A Right
55bpm

V1
I can taste my salty tears,
As they pour down my face,
In the deafening silence,
Our minds go through the years,

Pre Chorus
Neither of us talking,
We can’t walk away)
We’ve taken our love for granted, 
And (now) there’s nothing more to say,

(Because)    

CH
Two wrongs don’t make a right,
We’ve both told lies,
About the way we spent our nights,
Two wrongs don’t make a right,
Ok, so we played it smart, but,
Two wrongs won’t make it alright, 

V2
I can hear my heart beating,
As we both swallow our pride,
We want to run to our secret lovers,
To ease the shame inside,

Pre Chorus
Neither of us talking,
We can't walk away,
But we’ve taken our love for granted,
And there’s nothing more to say,

(Because)    

CH
Two wrongs don’t make a right,
We’ve both told lies,
About the way we spent our nights,
Two wrongs don’t make a right,
Ok, so we played it smart, but,
Two wrongs won’t make it alright, 

Bridge
Did we not respect each other
Can we rebuilt the trust,
Maybe we can’t find the happiness,
In the same place it was lost,

Solo

CH
Two wrongs don’t make a right,
We’ve both told lies,
About the way we spent our nights,
Two wrongs don’t make a right,
Ok, so we played it smart, but,
Two wrongs won’t make it alright,

Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.

Questa è la versione originale del brano Fade Away (Dissolvenza) da me composto e riarrangiata da EnricoSonOro che pubblicai verso la fine di giugno. L'ho voluta pubblicare per mostrare come un artista riesce a sconvolgere completamente un brano senza tradire però la natura stessa del brano.

This is the original version of the song Fade Away (Dissolvenza) composed by me and rearranged by EnricoSonOro which I published towards the end of June. I wanted to publish it to show how an artist can completely upset a song without betraying the very nature of the song.

Dissolvenza (Fade Away)

Produced, arranged, composed and performed by James Murphy - Byrdz.                           Lyrics : The Wait Until Nine

Verse 1:

It's time to face the facts, 
Just to get a break and relax,
Just to switch off your head,
All in time before bed...

Bridge:

It's the wait until nine,
Oh to feel oh so fine,
It's the wait until nine...

Verse 2:

You can keep the punch this packs,
Just to get a chance to relax,
Just to turn off your head,
All in time before bed...

Bridge: 

It's the wait until nine,
Oh to feel oh so fine,
It's the wait until nine...

Chorus: 

It's not something you want me to do,
But this life needs a hue,
And I got to listen to truth...

Nine... (x1)

It's not something you want me to do,
But this life needs a hue,
And I got to listen to you...

Nine... (x2)

Middle 8:

What are you supposed to do,
When you're feeling blue,
You must think it's too good to be true...
When this life bends to suit you,
And you don't have a clue... No I don't have a clue...
No I... No I, don't, have a clue...

Chorus: (x2)

Outro:

Nine... (x3)    (Artwork - Byrdz)

You Make The Wind Spin

Verse 1:
Have I told you
You are the world to me
Have I told you
My life means nothing without you
Have I told you
You brighten everyday that I am with you
Have I told you
The colors worship your ever beauty
I should have told you
The universe is nothing without you
I should have told you
The world spins around your every move

Verse 2:
You should know
That you set my ships sailing
You should know
I look forward to the minutes I share with you
You should know
You are the spring time in my world

Chorus 1 & 2:
Yes you put the glory in my eyes
Yes you make the winds spin on fire

Verse 3:
Instrumental

Verse 4:
I should tell you
You set my world on fire
I should tell you
You set the world on fire
I should so so tell you
You set everything on fire

Chorus 3 & 4:
Yes you put the glory in my eyes
Yes you make the winds spin on fire

You Make The Wind Spin

Garden Party

(Best experienced through earphones) a Stolen Glow are an outfit from Co. Wexford, Ireland. The group consists of James Murphy - 'Byrdz' [pronounced 'Birds'] (E.S.S. & One For Sorrow), and Alan Davis (E.S.S.) As a studio band the pair worked on a Stolen Glow for over ten years, with James, carefully crafting a blend of home-made rock music, and Alan, carefully focusing on some music, but then cutting his teeth on video animation. Two E.P.'s emerged 2016's 'Just Far Enough Away' and 2019's 'Rough Mixes'. The outfit's  album 'Ten Track Recorder' saw the light of day in 2020, and then the mainly (drop D based guitar tuned) 12 track album '11 Items' was released in the year 2022. (Both of these albums can be found on this page.)  Also, there's a handmade animated music video courtesy of Alan, for their track 'In Space', which can be found here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohCHSqfdM-U  - And the pair returned to a tried and tested method that they developed in E.S.S. on their track 'This Day' of Alan supplying lyrics and James doing the rest... The video for that song is here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ5EfuB-XDg - Thanks for listening and viewing everyone! Have fun! We hope you find something that tickles your fancy.  - Byrdz & Alan x Enjoy. https://www.instagram.com/jamesmurphybyrdz/ https://www.instagram.com/alan_j_davis/ If your looking for more recordings...
