The Freak Show ~ Silent Zen ~ ART (One Year ON AIR Part 5)

First tune I ever got public. Fast and fully made on the Korg Gadget app on iPad. Made the groove, beat and vibe. Pressed Publish from within the mobile app. Easy :) 

I was not thinking at that time the tune is about to open the most exciting musical endeavor ever. Much love and inspiration to all SC FAM!  <3

A Sincere Thanks to Milana Zilnik (@milanazilnik) and Stephan Beneking (@stephan-beneking) for allowing me this opportunity to work with “Petit Reve Bizarre XXIII.”  

I am glad to work with TCM Underground Official (@mrinal-desai) on this project as I’ve utilized his Remix of PRB XXIII as the featured melody for this spoken word project.

Hope you all enjoy this work and sincere thanks to all of you for this great collaboration project!

Dear friends and listeners,
once again I've taken full advantage of a kind collab offer by a friend, Roberto Sass ( @dj-rubberman )
Like me, he happens to be a Depeche Mode fan; unlike me, he's able to produce a lot of original music :D
A quality DM-like original song, no way I could turn this offer down! Here's the full story as described by Roberto on his cloud ( https://soundcloud.com/dj-rubberman/poisoned-words ) complete with lyrics:

--
When I first started out making music it seemed that everything I attempted sounded like Depeche Mode and I tried my best to escape this by testing out other genres. Every now and then though its fun to bounce back and make something that is authentic to the sound they created. Knowing that our copyc4t (Paolo D'Emilio) got a craze for them as well, it was a natural choice to ask if he would be up for the task to make an original for a change. Not sure how he managed with it but he took the lyrics I wrote and tweaked them to create a really nice fit.
So here it is "Poisoned Words", a song about lost love and big regrets...hope ya feel it :).
Big thanks to Paolo for his great vocal recordings and a true pleasure finally making a track with him!!!

-- Lyrics:

"She was looking at me, she said she needed to talk, about some serious things in mind
not the best of my days, more like the worst of my days, when she walked out that door
what happened to her, what happened to me, what happened to the love that was meant to be
where are you now when I need you the most, is there another me, walking in my shoes
so unfair it first seems, the things I’ve done wrong, I probably got what I deserved

she walked out that door, there will be no more, what it was before
it won't be the same, I'm feeling so ashamed, about what I'm to blame for
she walked out that door, there will be no more, what it was before
the hardest love of all, the one once torn apart, by poisoned words from the heart"

Poisoned Words (Roberto Sass & copyc4t)

The Old Man in the Mirror

He said he did it for the wife and the kids
And he got so close he could taste it
But the old man in the mirror
Caught his eye and he said
It's long past time that you faced it.
You sang it all wrong, 
Yeah, you wrote the damn song
But all you ever did was waste it.

He sees them kissing in the park
He sees them driving through the dark
Memories so strong he can taste her
But then he hears the refrain
All you gave them was pain and
He knows he can never replace her.

He said he did it for the wife and the kids
And then he spent every bit of their savings
But the old man in the mirror
Caught his eye and he said
But
You never stopped feeding your cravings.
You sang it all wrong
Yeah, you wrote the damn song.
Now you walk the streets all night raving.

He sees them tossing the ball on the lawn
He sees the Yankees, a child's picture drawn
The boy's face lights up then goes dim
But then he hears the refrain
All you gave them was pain and
He knows he can never replace him.

He sees them kissing in the park
He sees them driving through the dark
Memories so strong he can taste her
But then he hears the refrain
All you gave them was pain and
He knows he can never replace her

The old man in the mirror
Caught his eye and he said
It's long past time that you faced it.
You sang it all wrong, 
Yeah, you wrote the damn song
But all you ever did was waste it.

Lyrics

The beauty, fire-walker and run-ragged dancer,
Circle the square and run all the faster.
The wolf-hound, the pauper and quick-witted crook,
Circle the square and the fat banker’s hook.

Summer is gone.
All Hail to the Sun.
Summer is gone.
All Hail to the Sun.

The earth is a circle that never shall be broken.
The circle is a secret that never shall be spoken.
And Love is a spire that spirals forever.
A spiral in our blood, to heal us together.

The Lovers, The Fool and the old, thin Magician,
Quarter the night and the Moon’s intuition.
The dwarves and the dance-girls in glitter processions,
Quarter the night with the Moon’s intuition.

Like Druids

Gathering on the equinox to 
Watch the sun rise 
In the morning
To give thanks
For the bountiful harvest
And prepare for the darkness
Of the winter
It’s time to build an alter, gather all the fruits and vegetables
And offer apples to 
The goddess
Sharing food and gathering one’s blessings 
As leaves change their colors and fall from the trees
Blanketing the earth for her long winter’s nap
And the sun’s seeds
Looses power to
The darkness
Of the lunar ruled sky
Listen to the knowledge of the third eye
As the inner maharaja speaks the truth

Summer is gone.
All Hail to the Sun.

La Luna Y El Sol
