Such good lyrics, such excellent ear candy! Stand out track and performance guys!

Basket of Thanks: Much appreciation for all your support on What Difference Does It Make Pt. 2

This is the 3rd song Bitzone, Frawstakwa, and I have worked on together for my CKP page. I wanted this latest track to continue with the electronic hip hop vibe we had established with our previous two tracks.  Bitzone dug into his rich production archive and found a beat 10 years deep that met the criteria. This time I sent the track first to Frawstakwa to switch things up, since the last two songs I had started off. Frawstakwa came up with these deep metaphysical lyrics and I added a literal interpretation that I hoped would complement his meaning while keeping in theme with the previous two tracks. Bitzone then worked his magic and transformed the track into an electronic hip hop rock fusion. And then for a final surprise, he asked Joerxworx to join in with some futuristic EWI. In the end, I like that this track is different from It Ain’t Looking Good and Trendsetting and I think it points at a possible new direction for the next track we all work on together. 

Thank you for all your listenings, comments, playlists, radio spins, and purchases. The musical team is eternally grateful. 

Don’t loose hope, keep faith in yourself and your community, be creative, and persist.

Lyrics

Oh, this is just great 
Yo, gimme a break 
No, Freudian slip made
So, it’s no mistake
Go, psycho analyze it 
Though, am I insane
In the membrane
Or normal
It’s weird right?
We’re here but so briefly
Mere mortals
Appears our fate is foretold
How unfortunate 
Of course there’s this
Who says we have to forfeit free will
Forget about it
We are forward thinkers 
And forces of nature
Scratch that - supernatural
Look at how we have grown
And evolved
Lets explore
What’s beyond
What is known 
And accepted by all
Be omnidirectional 
Slow, in the fast lane 
Flow, like a mixtape
For, goodness sake
Over and over again 
Face total
Loss of control
Lack of faith
Don’t trip though
Effects cause vertigo
Catch wreck, let ‘em know
Fact check, general 
Search, research
Both the world and the earth
First you learn
Then you teach
Art and culture
To reach out and touch 
All of the people 
Them, no doubt indeed

What difference does it make
If at any given rate
The only thing that matters in the end is too late

What difference does it make
If at any given rate, yo!

Have you ever felt alone
In a place so dark, so vast, so cold

Everyday I pass by
The same lame busted gate 
The same 
Boarded up broken windows and
Old rusted grates
The same
Overflowing trash cans continue to accumulate with a ever-growing stench that won’t abate 
It’s the same
Neighborhood cats talking smack on da crates 
It’s the same
Families falling flat with not enough food on their plates
I’m passin’ by the same
Kids in baseball hats standing wet in wait 
Out there gettin’ rained on cause the bus is running late 
It straight 
Hasn’t changed at all 
What difference does it make
I’m still awake at dawn 
Exerting on 
Getting my debt rate gone
Word is born
What difference does it make
Cause pass generations gone
Still couldn’t pass it on
What difference does it make

What difference does it make 
If at any given rate
Things just stay the same

What difference does it make 
If at any given rate
We keep on playing games

What difference does it make 
If at any given rate
There really isn’t even anything else left for me to say

Scattered in the Universe

I bought some pretty flowers
And some pastries at the store
Awaiting for my friends, my dear friends

But they did not appear
And how could they
If no one here knows my name

No one here knows my name...

I saw lovely china
Someone selling on the street
Golden swirl and flowers, tiny flowers

Oh it would be so great
With my friends to celebrate
Oh I am dreaming - mine are paper plates

No one here knows my name
We all are scattered in the universe

We all are scattered in the universe

who am I, who are we, where are we going?

Gary, of Mountain Songs (https://soundcloud.com/mountain-songs)
contacted me about 2 years ago and offered me a baseline stem from an Alpha Roots collaboration he was working on with Joerxworx. About 2 years ago, that is crazy! I, of course, said I would take the stem. I needed to finish some other songs that were in the works before getting to play with Alpha Roots’s baseline. By the time I was ready to connect with the vibe, Russia had invaded Ukraine, unfathomable tragedy had begun, and the world was changing again. My song writing reflected the horror of what was going on. By the time all the stems were gathered, vocals were recorded, and the song was mixed and mastered, another war had broken out and the horror continued. 

Massive thanks to Mountain Songs for  trusting me with these blessed Alpha Roots stems. So glad Jamie, Jonathan, Joerxworx, and Russ got a chance to work with Alpha Roots again. Alpha Roots lives on. 

And the song is ready just in time for Halloween!

Lyrics: 

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep, right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari caught cha sleepin’
Day dreamin’ though you woke
Never thought what you were thinkin’
Now you only speakin’ what he spoke

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in 
Break in
Fillin’ ‘em with dread ya

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari gonna open
The coffin where you’ll rest
On his order you awaken
Now you answerin’ without questionin’ his behest 

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari caught cha sleepin’
Day dreamin’ though you woke
In the shadows see you creeping
His knife hidden inside his cloak 

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in 
Break in
It all turning red now

Somnambulist Break In

Alpha Roots, Jamie R, Jonathan B, Joerxworx, Russ & the Couch King - Somnambulist Break In

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

The Shrike Pt. 1

The Weighty Tree, Stricknice, Bitzone, Wou-Wou & the Couch King - The Shrike Pt. 1

Didn't wake up this morning
I knew I couldn't see
Felt the weight of sorrow 
Pressing down on me 
A weight upon my chest
That was constantly
Floating me far away

Wish I’d had a warning
And time to say goodbye
But then again I’d rather not see 
The sadness in your eyes
I’ll miss you on the other side
Of what becomes of our lives

Floating me far away

I’ve come to meet my maker
Seems it’s suddenly
Flying high above the bed 
Looking down on me
I tried to live a good life
Then I guess I’ll see

Floating me far away

Dedicated to my dad, thanks for listening, go take a happy pill.


Insomnia

A song about how fragile our live is 

Reaching for silence
Noise sucks me in 
I want to break through these
I would
The meaning that fear paralyzes
And divides us in time

Hear the bells scream
The Howling
How Can't you See
That We're all the same?
Greed's dividing
You're lying
Sell all our bodies instead

And hear my last Whisper 
As Once written down
Want to stay sober
I Would 
The meaning that fear paralyzes 
And divides us in time

Lyrics:
Sneekie San Salvador 
Sneekie as it gets 
Always trying to make the little kids upset 
Loves it when they cry and they eyes get all wet 
Never lies in fear and has no regrets 
Never sheds a tear when a lady trips down the steps 
Probably sawed her heals, got the skills of a vet 
Master of the trip wire sire sneak attack 
Watched home alone a million times and knows how to make a trap 
Lurking in the shadows, tip towing like a cat 
Whiling humming the Ramones, singing beat on the brat 
Beat on the brat with a baseball bat 
Oh yea he is despicable, lives in an unlivable room that’s a mess 
Leaves his clothes on the ground, picks it up just to get dressed 
A little depressed and has a hard time sleeping, leaves the tv on at night 
When he sees a baby dreaming, coughs to give ‘em a fright 

Likes to get even and always takes the last cookie 
When told to turn around, always takes a lookie lookie 
Got the parenting skills of a young rookie 
Always sends the kids to bed with out brushing 
And when they get it in their head that it’s time to brush their teeth 
Rushes to the fridge and looks inside for some OJ to make them drink 
He’s a master (Hot Damn) of the slight of hand with a knack to make you think 
Sneekie San Salvador 
Turn the other way he’ll take a sip of your drink 

Don’t hate i’m deeper than you think 
Don’t hate i play dumb with a wink 
My snap comes from on the brink 
My bite goes beneath the pink 
Don’t hate i’m deeper than you think

It's like the world just doesn’t know how let it go 
It's like this feeling that i’m just supposed go and blow 
Your big egos just wants me to shrink 
Like I never have belonged here 
i’m spinning my wheels around the rink 
Doing my best not to disappear 
Doing my best not to disappear 
All you think i’m trying to do is interfere but there’s no other way out of here 

Don’t hate i’m deeper than you think 
Don’t hate i play dumb with a wink 
My snap comes from on the brink 
My bite goes beneath the pink 
Don’t hate i’m deeper than you think

"ANTICIPATING"

I spent two years making Punto Ártica album as a whole, and I mostly played my mom’s Spanish guitar in the spare time. This theme and chords got shape with time, without any plan, in some different variations I’ve tried to remember and craft here.

Even a 7/4 vocal section had come up. In the spirit of this new profile, I asked Codi (https://soundcloud.com/noisealter) to adapt my translation of a poem I wrote when my age was about 1/3 than now (see below), and he also sung it with the passion and delivery I was looking for !!

Original poem  /  First translation:

FEBRERO  /  FEBRUARY

Efe de frío, Febrero,  /  ‘F’ for Freeze, February,
tiempo de ocio y ventura  /  leisure and venture time.
Sueño, guitarra, lectura,  /  Sleep, guitar, reading,
paso intermedio.  /  intermediate step.

Tiempo de amigos y risas  /  Time for friends and laughter,
de descanso e ilusión  /  of rest and illusion
de esperanza y ocasión,  /  of hope and opportunity,
muere la prisa.  /  the rush dies.

Febrero de nacimiento,  /  February of birth,
pausa para el estudiante.  /  pause for the student.
Los problemas van delante,  /  The problems go ahead,
estoy contento.  /  I’m happy.
