Name: Just Lie by BLACK MIRROR in OLD RAIN ON MY WINDOW
Duration: 2 min 45 s
Description: Just a little acoustic Blues.......Acoustic Guitar&Piano&Bass&Vox

I don't associate you with the Blues so this comes as a nice surprise.

OLD RAIN ON MY WINDOW

Inspired by the great Lalo Schifrin. 0-15 seconds taken from "Shifting Gears' as featured on the Bullitt soundtrack (Schifrin, 1968).

21.6.32  - 26.6.25

Song For Lalo

The Breeze

Hypnotist

This song could be interpreted as an old fashoined love song or something much deeper and profound. This song is about an old musician reminiscing about his past. All those opportunities he had. But for circumstances he may have made it. However, he acknowledges that someone has always been there for him throughout his life that helped wash away the footprints (negative memories and thoughts), the footprints in the sand. The "someone" could be a higher spirit, group consciousness or a partner. I will leave it to your own interpretation.

Lyrics:
Sometimes we can feel that we’re back on the road
With music pumping in our head, about to explode.
One day we thought that we would fill all our dreams
But life is made up of so many extremes.

(We) Combe our lives through, we can see all our chances
Locked in the moment and circumstances
All of my life as wake every day
You’re right next to me and you can wash all away

A world full of trouble that can build up so fast
You reinforce good thoughts, place the things that have passed
Into a wave upon the beach as it washes away
The footprints in the sand. 
(Last time) The footprints in the sand
The footprints in the sand.

One thousand miles from Texas

Footprints in the sand

Footprints In The Sand

Composed, arranged, performed and produced by:

Running Nowhere

Experimenting/unfinished demo

So many feelings well up regarding the invasion of Ukraine by Putin and his massed forces that I don't know where to begin. So I let them rise up and expressed them through this Piano Improvisation, as they are beyond mere words.

However, I do know that in this moment of peril, I stand with 100s of millions of people around the world and the people of Ukraine in denouncing this barbarous attack on innocent civilians. As this unfolds... the suffering, fear, and displacement are already immense as people flee bombed and shelled-out areas however they can, and head west. And a huge thank you here to the people of Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Moldova for welcoming and caring for the 100s of thousands of those refugees! The best and the worst of humanity are highly visible right now. Yet, there is widespread disbelief worldwide that such a thing could occur in today's world.  But here it is. 

Let us celebrate the fact that even in the face of these atrocities, Hope, and Goodness will continue to spring eternal in the human breast!

I pray for the Ukrainians, E.U., and the entire world as 100s of thousands in Russia and millions more around the world demonstrate against Putin's war. (This was before a law was passed that you could get 10 years in prison for such gatherings.) In any case, Putin has succeeded in doing the opposite of what he's been trying to do for 20 years. He's finally United the West! 

Yet still, I ask, when will man's inhumanity to man finally end?

May it be soon. Very soon.

This piano piece goes out to our dear friend Helena Dolgov @Syntaleta in Kharkiv as she and her family weather this terrifying insanity. May they always be safe and warm, and know that they are loved by all in our Soundcloud community.  <3

Eternal

We'll never be together
again
we'll never say "hi"
again
alone forever and ever
in the shadow of our light...
It doesn't matter since our soul is eternal

We'll never be together
again
you're not here but high
on clouds forever and  ever
in the shadow of my life...
It doesn't matter since our love is eternal

We'll never be together
again
we'll never say "goodnight"
again...
Never... forever and ever
but I keep my smile
It doesn't matter since our minds are eternal

Eternal [Gina Wood / Amanda Sanderson / Lukowig]

I feel blessed to be able to keep Alpha Roots’ vibe shining bright for the SoundCloud community to continue to enjoy. 

Alpha Roots sent me these reggae bass and rhythm guitar stem a long time ago, maybe even three years ago in 2016 (bad couch, bad couch)! I originally planned on having Evelyn (of the Reiki Run Rampant tracks on my page) sing over the rhythm but then I moved from Santa Cruz to Portland and she moved from the Pacific Northwest to Santa Cruz, bummer! So the stems sat in my hard drive until new inspiration arrived in the form of Johnny Minstrel, one of favorite song writers on SoundCloud, agreeing to write lyrics and sing over the track. Once Johnny added his deep felt lyrics and magical vocal chords to the mix, the rest of the song came together pretty quickly for me, lol! I often try to put together virtual bands for my tracks and I knew I had to have Jamie Rhind on the track since he worked with Alphio on multiple songs and a reunion was due. I always wanted to work with Jonathan Beckenstein, whose sensitive and thoughtful guitar work is always sublime. Darren and Russ came naturally.  My original drum production work was based on an old Sly Dunbar sample (I like to include the essence of some of my favorite artists in the tracks I work on) but the quality of the drums just wasn’t up to Russ’ standards, hahaha, so we brought Bitzone on board to lay down some drums and voila, roots reggae magic!

Big thanks to the band for coming together on this in fine fashion! Big ups to the SoundCloud community and the spirit of collaboration. Keep on digging! 

And massive thanks to Wou-Wou to bringing his visual arts talent to the project! My goal is to eventually put together a reggae album (possibly a double album which will also include some reggae collaborations between Alpha Roots and friends including Jamie Rhind and Russ Sinfield) with all profits going to the Cancer Research Institute. Be on the look out for a possible dub version of Red Earth Clay as well!!!

Lyrics: 
Hold you tongue don’t wag that finger
Just shine a light on me my friend
Too much fuss will only hinder
All the good things the spirit sends
We were made of dust and fire
Born beneath a brooding sky
On the stairs of Babel we climb higher 
To sights not seen by human eye

And now I dig, dig deep into the 
Red Earth Clay
Dig, dig deep
And I toil for no pay
I dig, dig deep into the
Red Earth Clay
Down to the root I’ll find my way

Some have called democracy into question
Saying we like sheep have gone astray
That it’s been the rich man’s intention
To steel by night and rule by day
I washed your feet with my tears
I wiped them dry with my hair
Can a hungry mouth still offer prayers
Or are they whispers of despair 

And now I dig, dig deep into the 
Red Earth Clay
Dig, dig deep
And I toil for no pay
I dig, dig deep into the
Red Earth Clay
Down to the root I’ll find my way
I dig, dig deep into the
Red Earth Clay
Dig, dig deep
And I toil for no pay
I dig, dig deep into the
Red Earth Clay
Down to the root I’ll find my way

This is one of our live impros between poetry readings,  in the main station hall in my city. 
We played as musical commentators, related to the just read poem.
Claudia likes the inclined, crooked and impro stuff as much as I do, she is the SoundSister...here we go...

Claudia Sonntag...Voice and funky fx
Christian Zatloukal...Gibson Marauder & funky loop station
...
apologize for mono recording...I only had access to a mono output

Just Lie

I start this new album with better sound by means of one of my more beloved and evolved songs ever, a structured piece with progressing parts.

LETRA   /   TRANSLATED LYRICS:

BIEN, MAL (LLUVIA VIEJA)    /   WELL, BADLY (OLD RAIN)

Sí, no, ¿por qué no?   /   Yes, no, why not? 
estoy pensando que esto no es lo mejor.   /   I am thinkinkg this is not the best.
Bien, mal, ¿tú qué tal?   /   Well, badly, what about you?
de repente me he puesto a pensar.   /   Suddenly I have started to think.

El tiempo esparcido entre mis amigos   /   Time scattered among my friends
 es el más valioso cuando estoy contigo.   /   is the most valuable one when I am with you
Los ratos vividos estando contigo   /   Moments lived being with you
 son reconfortantes cuando estoy perdido.   /   are comforting when I feel lost. 
Tengo que buscarlos entre mis amigos,   /   I must search for them among my friends
tengo que encontrarlos, pero ya se han ido todos.   /   I must find them, but they are all gone already.

Fumando   /   Smoking 
tras los cristales   /   behind the windows
mojados de lluvia vieja.   /   wet with old rain
Recuerdos   /   Memories
 que me llevan flotando   /   carry me floating
 a estar con ella.   /   to be with her

Tengo que buscarlos entre mis amigos.   /   I must search for them among my friends

Tú, yo, ¿qué sé yo?   /   You, me, what do I know?
está lloviendo pero tengo calor.   /   It is raining but I feel hot
Qué, quién, ¡mírame!   /   What, who, look at me !
soy todavía quien empezaste a querer.   /   I am still who you started do love

Soy todavía quien empezaste a querer.  /   I am still who you started do love
