Singing is different of course but the backing, especially focussed on the guitar reminds me of ACDC .....and the octaves... "Sweet Child of Mine"

Lyrics by Ren Faye , music by GMaks:

Spoken: Kitsune? Can you hear me? Help me! Spirit of Thunder... Help me, I know you are there...
Voices: Run

Run with me,
Feel the thunder,
I know that,
I won't fall under,
The rain it takes me,
Out of sight,
A kind of invisible night...

Hear my rhythm,
They're getting closer,
I can sense that,
Over my shoulder,
The storm provides,
A veil of now,
I can disappear into the crowds...

All I am and all I have,
all that I've learnt has lead me here,
And you are there, with me on my path,
Kitsune knows,
I'll be there at last...

This is my city,
These are my streets,
and I can feel it in every heartbeat,
and I will try with the best of me,
And I will try to set us free,

These are my rivers,
These are my streams
And I will try with every part of me...
I'll hear the dragon call my name
And I will try,
To keep us safe...

It's all I am...
All that I've learnt has brought me here...
It's what I feel,
The footsteps now...
I know that I can set us free...

These are my cities, these are my streets,
And I can feel them with every heartbeat,
And I will try with the best of me,
With everything to set us free...

Although I run
And I'm on my own
With Kitsune I'm never alone...
And I will try with the best of me...
I will try to set us free....

Kitsune - GMaks & Ren Faye

On the theme of this song
Marcel Proust used to say that we should not explain a work of art, that it is a bit like giving the recipe for a dish that we offer to taste. I am generally more of this opinion but for this piece I will depart from the rule for several reasons: its length its theme its difficult and slow creation.
We often go through less inspired times sometimes even it's a great desert of ideas that seems to extend as far as the eye can see. That’s a bit of what I’ve been through for the past two years, and probably many of us. And then this summer with Aline during our vacation in the city of Nantes we visited an incredible exhibition on hypnosis and in particular the breathtaking installation by artist Tony Oursler (https://tonyoursler.com/state_nonstate- hypnosis) which was the trigger. For some time now, I had in mind the idea of ​​a series of songs around the theme of sleep and dreams (the diva in the Watchmaker Dream was the first of the series) hypnosis then became the central theme. of this second song which took the form of a suite in 7 moments.
Hysteria is a neurosis which is characterized by real physical distress and suffering which are symptoms of conflicts and psychological trauma. At the end of the nineteenth century many famous doctors like Charcot and Freud began to regard hysteria as a disease and try to treat it with hypnosis. (Freud will abandon this technique later, preferring analysis by speaking alone)
The song tells the story of a session like this in its fanciful way.



the music

I also tried to give the mix a very analog color. We worked as much as possible the old-fashioned way with real instruments plugged into tube amps, emulations of old analog synths, and a tube mic for vocals in a tube eq too, and especially trying to play them. taken live. Finally, I used emulations of mythical consoles from the seventies a lot.

Construction
The piece is conceived as a series of "pictures"  alternating of instrumentals and parts sung by Aline. All these parts were recorded in order one after the other in a single session.

 The illustration
Drawn by Aline the beginning of a series of drawings that we will integrate into a video that may see the light of day in some time

Al’z (https://soundcloud.com/al-z-z-z)
Thank you very much to Al who, not content to deliver us one of his magnificent solos of which he has the secret to close the song, lent me his ears to advise me on this mix.
Ghost in me part one
Something in itself that repeats endlessly
Two bass
A wooden metronome the beating of a heart the ticking of a clock
1 33 Mesmerise me

Hypnosis as a game of seduction ...
 
mesmerise me
hypnotize me
set my mind free
 from my bloody body

Were you a kind of Freud, or doctor Charcot?
In your eyes I saw, a strange dark glow ...

mesmerise me
hypnotize me
set my mind free
 from my bloody body

I was the kind of girl you wanted on the couch
you were to heal my soul, you said you….

501 now you’re sleeping
Not easy with this drummer ^^
5.47 tell me where it hurts
Symptoms, resistance  ...
7.06 Painful soul, body complaint
Body and mind, the voice is the physical expression of the soul
Only one take for Aline and it was in the box….
10 49 Open that door
Open a door to find behind the symptoms ...
11.58 Ghosts in me part 2
... the ghosts of childhood
 Small intrusion into the trip hop
Solo guitar: Al’z
With a helping hand from our old "partner in crime" Al who plays the final solo

It's written on my aching body,
like a long and meaningless story.
I search in the buried memories
The key that could set me free.

Ghosts in me, ghosts of my childhood
haunt my endless sleepless nights.
Ghosts in me, ghosts from my cloudy mood
chase the day, darken the lights.

I'm lost in the land of no reason,
I am the inmate, I am the prison.
I want your help to find my way,
lead my soul to the light day.

The Session (with Al'z )

Maggie & Eddy 2

Tag mig i din famn. 1188 ( 1996 ) Margareta Theorin - Eddy Mango ( Margareta )

We all know what we should do to lead a healthy, happy, good life. This is a song about the mystery of why we don't do it.

The Man In The Mirror

Be good to yourself for just a few moments 
at the start and the end of the day
You must live with yourself, for you're the one person 
who will never be going away

So don't ever worry
Don't let it bring you down
Please don't get dismayed
You must be you, so be the kind of person 
as if love were your sobriquet

Looking in the mirror
These are the words I say, willing myself to be
But I just take no notice, ignoring my good advice
Happiness is not my cup of tea

So give yourself a break, there are more things in heaven and earth 
than are dreamed of in your philosophy 
That man in the mirror, he sometimes does talk some sense
In this ongoing soliloquy

So don't ever worry
Don't let it bring you down
Don't ever be dismayed
You must be you, and be the kind of person 
That has love as a sobriquet

Lyrics:

You got the picture yeah it really hit ya
Visionary karma's are an ends to a mean
I really kicked ya, ya dirty little Mr
Ya didn't see it comin You got what you need
I'll paint a picture a walking contradiction
Shiny red sheets with a touch of pink
Blow your kinky whistle & swing your dirty pistol
You'll never sell a photo coz there's nuthn to see

Your beautiful hideaway
Won't you come out & play
Beautiful people come
Beautiful people go

I see a vision an ordinary mission
A planetary system with the cycle and key
It's human nature decipher information
collecting all the pieces to decipher the dream
You got the picture yeah it really hit ya
visionary karma's are an ends to a mean
I really kicked ya, dirty little Mr
You never saw it comin your too blind to see

Your beautiful hideaway
Won't you come out & play
Beautiful people come
Beautiful people go

Lyrics:

What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Like the river flows beneath the sand
We must all face the promised land

As you wander through the dark
Feel the beating of your heart
With the night comes day
With the wind comes change
As you wander through the dark

Like the clouded dreams of fate
The rain relieves it's weight

As you wander through the dark
Feel the beating of your heart
With the night comes day
With the wind comes change
As you wander through the dark

Lyrics:

I closed up all the shades
to block out yesterday then I
locked up all the doors
that welcomed you

Now your gone
I can see what is lost
so I'm no more in the middle of jealousy
Now your gone

I woke up in a daze
then washed my thoughts away and I
sat in your old place
where you once belonged

Now your gone
I can see what is lost
now I'm no longer little I found my feet
Now your gone

I'll be who I wanna be (I can do all that I want)
and I'll see who I wanna see (I can do all that I want)
I'll live in a masterpiece ( I can do all that I want)
up high in a fantasy (I can do all that I want)

I'll be who I wanna be (I can do all that I want)
and I'll see who I wanna see (I can do all that I want)
I'll live in a masterpiece ( I can do all that I want)
up high in an apple tree (I can do all that I want)

Now your gone
I can see what is lost
now I'm no longer little I found my feet
Now your gone

Now Your Gone

Heroes On The Sun

Lyrics:

I don't need no mountain to climb
to know how I feel
and I don't need no river to find
my way through these fields

I keep holding on, holding off
in a moment of fear
I keep holding on, holding off
til the moment appears

Take me back to the place of silence 
where there is no violence
and no more fighting                                   x2

If I walk on into the night
straight through those fields
will you be that shimmering light
that knows how I feel

I keep holding on...

Take me back to the place of silence 
where there is no violence
and no more fighting                                   x2

Heroes on the sun...

Heroes on the Sun

A big Thank you to all my collaborators and followers.Much love and peace,Bluebird
