Rework Your Love

Harmony laden lyrical acoustic rhythmic soul

Between Abstraction and Representation

You don’t know which way to stand
Is the light favorable?
Or is black now passe
I guess it’s all debatable

I’m trailing in your scent
You’re LA then New York
Ghosting like the Zephyr Train
Making sure you walk the walk
You’re caught there in between abstraction and representation
They watch you in between abstraction and representation

Though you deny you seek to impress
It’s other women for whom you get dressed
In and out of the closet you float
Strapping and weave – girdle and hose

Delaunay or Cassatt?
Hey honey bring it all back
Home . . . 

I could be jealously mad
Seeing all that attention you grab
But bedroom’s night is painting your curves
And only I will get to observe

Between Abstraction and Representation

When I make music, I often think of the people who have gone...

Hiraeth has fallen upon me 
A longing for something I’ve never known 
The glimpse of a treasure I’ll never be shown

Hiraeth has fallen upon me 
A yearning for someone I’ve never met 
Won’t ever remember but still can’t forget

The unbearable soul-ache 
For what never was nor will be

Perhaps it’s the lingering wisp of a dream 
An elusive melody’s call 
Maybe a lover whose face would be dear 
Or an Eden that’s Home to us all

Hiraeth has fallen upon me 
The grieving for somewhere I’ve never seen 
That erases how lonely the journey has been

How it tugs at my blood 
At the so human heart of me

Hiraeth Acoustic Piano Version

I'll catch you when you fall.

J. S. Bach - Prelude in C Major

Blackout

written, performed and produced by Richard Brown.

Lyrics:

I feel it comin I feel it within
My worlds getting darker the lights getting thin
I’m dying of hunger I’m dying to live
The spell that I’m under has left me in sin

Father you tried to break me
Sisters and brothers always leave
Mother why does your heart bleed
Why is a friend the one in need

It won’t be for nothin if I’m not to win
I’ll take what I’m given and drink it like gin
I’ll crawl through the darkness against the cold wind
And claw at your feet til you let me in

Father you tried to break me
Sisters and brothers always leave
Mother why does your heart bleed
Why is a friend the one in need

Blackout

*** CAIXA AUTOMÁTICA ***

Observa, meu filho, a fiel caixa automática que, depois de lambuzar gentimente o meu cartão, me entrega com um sorriso automático o talão e o dinheiro. E se por acaso não tenho saldo na conta, ela exibe uma cara triste e compassiva, desfaz-se em desculpas e salamaleques.

Mas isso é hoje, meu filho. Porque amanhã, quando um olho neuromagnético, fixo e mau, perscrutar os subúrbios da tua alma vendida para ali encontrar o indispensável número da besta, então, e só então, terás o teu dinheiro.

Oh! Lembra-te, meu filho, e aprende sabedoria em tua mocidade! Lembra-te, meu filho, para que não pereças!

Introduza o seu cartão... 
Marque o código pessoal...
Retire o talão e o dinheiro...

Caixa Automática

Hi, I’m Axel.
After a longer musical hibernation, I started making music again about three years ago – and honestly, it feels amazing! I’ve been hanging around on SoundCloud for about two years now, and I’m constantly blown away by the creativity, variety, and real talent to be found here.

Music is just a hobby for me – which is exactly why I have zero ambitions to make money with it. I’m here simply because it’s fun. So, a small request: Dear annoying promoters with your shady offers – please save us both the trouble, I’m not your guy. I’m not chasing follower counts, click records, or streaming millions. Sure, I’m happy when people listen – but what I value most is connecting with a few honest musicians who feel the same way I do. Quality over quantity, you know?

One thing I do find kind of sad: there’s so much AI-generated music floating around on SoundCloud, often without being labeled. Come on, folks – if a robot wrote your track, at least give R2-D2 the credits.

I play keyboards and have already had the pleasure of creating songs together with some wonderful musicians I met right here on SoundCloud – something I’d love to keep doing. For me, collaboration and exchange are a huge part of what makes music so exciting.

Tech corner, anyone? All my tracks are produced in Cubase 13 Pro. Over time, more and more VST instruments have snuck into my setup – from Spitfire and Native Instruments to Spectrasonics and more. My go-to drum sounds usually come from Toontrack, which have become the rhythmic backbone of many of my tracks. I’ll admit it: I’ve caught a bit of a collecting bug here. Sadly, it’s eating both my wallet and my hard drive space. Will it ever stop? Probably not. 🙄

Style-wise, I love exploring different genres with no limits. For me, the goal is simple: have fun, stay inspired, and keep growing creatively. And every time I stumble upon a track here on SoundCloud that really moves me – the kind of song you’d probably never hear on the radio – it feels like discovering a hidden treasure.

I’m really glad you found my channel – and I hope my music brings you as much joy as it brings me when I create it.
