Love Again: 21 Lovely tracks from the SoundCloud community

Bulbs of Appreciation: Thanks for all your playlists and comments on The Shrike Pt. 1, Pt. 2!

We all don't know. And we spend a lot of time thinking about it.
It's important to appreciate the life we have and make the most of it. It's important how we use our time to make sure we live the life we want.

I thank my fellow musicians, especially Marquis, who always takes a look at my quirky projects. This time he even wrote a foreword - I'm grateful for that, after we set the theme.
Furthermore I thank Fabi for his wonderful guitars and Malu for a cool singing session.

"My wife and I had just finished creating our “Death Docs” when bitzone reached out and asked if I wanted to work on a new song with him. “Death Docs” are what my wife was calling all the paperwork related to our will and estate planning. When I asked Bitzone what he wanted my lyrics to be about he replied “perhaps about regulating one's own affairs for an uncertain future …” I though this was good timing since this was already on my mind. As I began writing lyrics, I started to ponder what some of my generation (and older) on our death bed would say to the younger generation that will have to live with our mistakes on this planet. Maybe there is still time to fix things. As they say, always leave the campground cleaner than you found it." - Marquis Zane aka Couch King, 2022 Dec.

What if there is nothing at the end of the road?

I leave to you my denied intuition
Kinda saw it coming all along
I leave to you my dark bleak vision
You’re right, guess we had it all wrong
I leave to you my dead optimism
To start it wasn’t really that strong
I leave to you my tired tried mission
And leave it up to you take it on

What if there is nothing at the end of the road?
It counts one by one, all of us!

To you, soon deceased
Despite failed attempts to say the least
To right this impending hell that’s soon to be unleashed
Famine from my feast
With lips and fingers fully greased and grasp that stubbornly refuses to release
I desist and I cease
I lovingly bequeath

What if there is nothing at the end of the road?
It counts one by one, all of us!

Guess I should have told you
A little bit sooner
Maybe thought what I could do
To make things smoother
Planned a little better for my
Inevitable departure
Thought about your future
Instead of just being a consumer
Instead of an over producer
Call me a user
Hope you can be just a little bit truer

End of the road

End of the road #Couch King|Fabi|Malu

■概要(Overview)
辛い時期もあるけどなるべく笑顔で乗り切れたらいいな、一歩ずつ
・・・という感じの曲です。
何回スマイルって言ったかわからないけどみんな笑顔になってほしい。
さあ行け！ロボドッグよ！(ガチャ、ガチャ！ワンワン！)

There are going to be tough times, but I hope I can get through it with a smile on my face, one step at a time.
It's a song that feels like...
I don't know how many times I've said "smile", but I want everyone to smile.
Let's go! Robodog! (Gacha, Gacha! Bow Wow!)

■歌詞
涙見せないように　笑う君の事
馬鹿にした口調で　責める人たちもいる

残念だけれど　この世界は
単純じゃないんだ　一問一答じゃないんだ
複雑さに目を背けた人たちは　君を責めるけど

マイペースにやろうよ
やれることを　一つずつ　ホップ・ステップ・ジャンプでさ
僕や周りの事なんて気にしないでいいから

もう一度スマイル　そしてスマイル
少し休んで　またスマイル＆スマイル
いつでも応援しているよ　気楽にやろう
テイク・イット・イージー

誰のせいでもない事　誰かのせいにすること
それで何を生み出せるというの？

残念だけれど　この世界は
理由なんて　意味が無いんだ
誰かが作ったミサイルが
今日も誰かの命を奪う

(Smile again
With a heartfelt smile
Just smile..)

マイペースにやろうよ
やれることを　一つずつ　ホップ・ステップ・ジャンプでさ
これから先何が起こるか分からないんだから　

もう一度スマイル　そしてスマイル
少し休んで　またスマイル＆スマイル
いつでも応援しているよ　
僕もどうなるかわからないけど
何とかなるさ
(If we could hold hands again
Also someday….)

マイペースにやろう
まだまだ先は長いから
笑い方を忘れないようにしよう

もう一度スマイル　僕もスマイル
彼女もスマイル　彼らもスマイル
あの野郎にもスマイル
もう一度手を取り合えたなら・・
またいつか

■Lyrics (Google translation)
You smile, trying not to show your tears
I can hear her voice blaming her in her mocking tone.

Unfortunately, this world
It's not simple, it's not one question and one answer.
Those who turned a blind eye to complexity will blame you.

Let's do it at my own pace
I think all you have to do is hop, step, and jump.
You don't have to worry about me or the people around me.

Smile again and smile again
I want you to take a little break and smile again.
I'll always support you. Take it easy.
Take It Easy

Blaming someone for something that is no one's fault
What can you produce with that?

Unfortunately, this world
Reasons are meaningless
A missile made by someone
I will take someone's life today too.

(Smile again
With a heartfelt smile
Just smile..)

Let's do it at my own pace
I think all you have to do is hop, step, and jump.
We don't know what will happen to us from now on.

Smile again and smile again
Take a break and get your smile back
I'll always support you
I don't know what will happen either
we can work it out
(If we could hold hands again
Also someday….)

Do it at your own pace
There's still a long way to go
Let's not forget how to laugh

Smile again, I smile too
She smiles, they smile too
Smile at that bastard too
If we could hold hands again...
Also someday

VV peace

This is the lead track from the set of songs that I began with Wou-Wou & the Wormling during the start of the turmoil and chaos brought upon by the pandemic. This is also the first part of four tracks within the album directly based on Wou-Wou’s comic, The Shrike. It has been incredible working with Bitzone and Stricknice throughout the project as well. It is always cool when the everyone in the stag heard works well togehter and brings distinct yet complimentary ideas to the mix. Big thanks also to Weighty Tree for introducing his groovy style of neopsychedelica to the rut! 

May everyone be victorious at their turn during the rut.

Lyrics

Intro
Several weeks after the events of The Great Scurry, all had returned back to normal in the autumnal forest. Nature has a way of quickly shaking off the traumas of the past and returning to its most basic of desires. You see, all of life yearns to mate and procreate, and while most that experience defeat from the stronger or rejection from those seeking the fitter, muster the determination to get back up again, some take their spurning to heart, as if they were more deserving than nature intended, where it festers and begins to grow a new grotesque life of its own.     

Verse
Word 
Yo
As antlers crashed with the desperation of lust 
And the scent of musk in the air
I couldn’t help but take notice there
Was a sweet smell of autumn 
Carried in the gust 
Of wind  
It is a beautiful time of the year
When the does come into estrus 
And there is only one thing on my mind
I must get some of that behind 
I find
Times like these to be harbingers 
That linger
I could count times like these on my fingers
If I didn’t have hooves 
And wasn’t crashing to the ground 
With the sound of defeated dreams 
Of games of hard to get
And multiple days of getting wet 
I let the overwhelming excitement of rut
Get the best of me 
And now am crest fallen to see
The Doe that I thought was mine
Walk away with the buck that brought me down to the twines
Uh

VENTOSO BLUES A LA PRADERA  /  WINDY BLUES FOR THE PRAIRIE

Pradera, salgo de viaje,  /  Prairie, I go on a trip,
te dejo aquí prisionera.  /  I leave you prisoner here.
Salgo sin prisa, pradera,  /  I leave without hurry, prairie,
seca de hierba salvaje.  /  dry from wild grass.
Dejo este bello paraje,  /  I leave this beautiful place,
este río y su ribera,  /  this river and its bank,
atrapados en la espera  /  trapped in the wait
de recibir su folaje,  /  to receive its foliage,
su frescura y su coraje  /  its freshness and its courage
verde de la primavera.  /  green of the springtime.

Este tren que con seguro  /  This train that with confident
traqueteo de ti me lleva;  /  rattling takes me away from you;
surge el humo de su cueva  /  the smoke arises from his cave
ensuciando tu aire puro.  /  polluting your pure air.
Ya la vía, acero oscuro,  /  So the railway, dark steel,
ya la vía es la prueba,  /  so the railway is the proof,
ya la vía, nieve o llueva,  /  so the railway, may it snow or rain,
debil tú, el acero duro,  /  weak you, the steel hard,
tú la brisa, él el muro,  /  you the breeze, it the wall,
tú la suave, mi pradera.  /  you the soft, my prairie.

De tus flores, la frescura,  /  From your flowers, the freshness,
quieren apagar el fuego  /  they want to extinguish the fire
de la marcha, y así luego  /  of the pace, and so then
mantener fragancia pura,  /  maintain pure fragrance,
mas es tal tu desventura,  /  but your misfortune is such,
tal fuerza del enclavado  /  such strength of the interlocked
metal, que te ha fallado  /  metal, that has failed you
tuya la verde dulzura  /  yours the green sweetness
bajo la realidad dura  /  under the harsh reality
de los rieles plateados.  /  of the silvery rails.

Ventoso Blues A La Pradera (with The Windscale Blues Experiment)

The mist and the landscape evoke memories of the poet's childhood, and she longs to return to the time when she felt safe and happy under her father's roof. There is also an acknowledgment that a time has passed, and the melancholy that something will never be the same.
Thank you from heart Torbjørn and Arne for this collaboration. 

Mild the mist upon the hill
Telling not of storms tomorrow;
No, the day has wept its fill,
Spent its store of silent sorrow.

O, I'm gone back to the days of youth,
I am a child once more,
And 'neath my father's sheltering roof
And near the old hall door

I watch this cloudy evening fall
After a day of rain;
Blue mists, sweet mists of summer pall
The horizon's mountain chain.

The damp stands on the long green grass
As thick as morning's tears,
And dreamy scents of fragrance pass
That breathe of other years.
Emily Jane Brontë
Emily Jane Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848) was an English novelist and poet who is best known for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, now considered a classic of English literature. She also published one book of poetry with her sisters Charlotte and Anne titled Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell with her own poems finding regard as poetic genius.

Here comes a very special version of the song - chilled psychedelic indie pop, with the spherical synthesizers of our friend Fady Haddad from Baltimore (USA), who was already a guest on some songs on our last album. 'Sunchild X Fady' is a remix - but also much more than that. Get caught up in the indie rock / pop crossover atmosphere of this track!

Pierre Bordetti productions (c) Fev/2024.
Composed, arranged, performed, and produced by:

In tribute to all those who suffer from cold, hunger, disease, war and all human stupidity.

En hommage à tous ceux qui souffrent du froid, de la faim, de la maladie, de la guerre et de toute la connerie humaine.


Lyrics
 
despite the cold, 
despite the hunger,
when winter is the only season,
when the sun as the only light,
when the night as the only shelter,

love always survives,
Freedom has no price,
save your mind,
save your mind,
keep your pride,
keep your pride,

Love always survives

I AM

(verse 1)
Level one academy better bet I’m the key 
Crown on my head like payment royalty 
rhymes in my life doing things creatively 
no questions asked that’s right just doing me
Don’t act surprise coming through like destiny 
still on the rise hang tight and you will see

Chorus
I bring the noise-I bring the noise-I’ve got the sauce now
Across the void-I bring the noise-so turn it up loud
My thoughts out loud-so just enjoy-this one’s-a cash cow
I bring the noise-I bring the noise-we-off the chain y’all

(Verse 2)
—👣—-Made to sparkle made to shine
dropping gems words to rhymes 
Holding back no not  me 
Coming through wait and see 
just Wait and see

(Verse 3)
hand over fist that is why I Can’t miss 
one with the force different levels do exist
Multidimensional words do twist 
Screw the imperfections as I transmit 
For the culture just a lift Precision with the gift
IPG1 on the mic I’m on the A-list 
Element of the rhythm who can resist 
Heat on each line dedication when I spit
Any doubt it’s word of mouth
sit back take noticed
Time out baby bro lemme get ‘em I got this
Creative days and nights  vision insight
This level so tight I slay and excite
Check your frequencies left and right 
Already built a winning team each player’s out of sight

———-Chorus

(Verse 4)
Academy Noise games departure flights loading
Embracing time and space so much I’m floating
Gotta beat the high score before there’s a landing
nothing last forever it’s all time spent learning 
A nonstop endeavor we’re hell bent earning
Another one on fire it so hot track’s burning 🔥🔥🔥——lit
Repeat (Verses 2, 3, and 4)

I Bring The Noise

True Love
