the Great Brian Butts

I've changed strategy. I'll gather tracks during the month and release them at the end of it. I hope it'll be interesting format to promote Your music! Hope it'll work :)

The order again has no particular significance, it results from the order in which I found the individual songs.

DECOHERENCE
Answered the question
Words lost in time
Range from the totally absurd to sublime
Two different people
And objects collide
Sometimes I think I am taken for a ride

CHORUS
I am split into two separate waves
Decoherence is only a phase
Whilst I'm learning to cope with my place
And we're ever learning
I am split into success and waste
Decoherence is only a phase
And there's two sides to my ugly face
And we're never learning

Is there a problem?
Did I fall short?
Did I insult you with my funny retort?
I could go sideways
Toss of a coin
Slowly my molecules start to re-join

A Murmuration of Starlings

"The Egerton Manuscript listed a 'murmuracyon' back in 1468 & most subsequent lists from the 15th Cent include this entry. As with many terms describing flocks of birds this one is inspired by the sound the birds make when they flock together."

A Murmuration of Starlings

When I first heard this I instantly picked up a  blusey mid eastern flavour to it and decided to pick up on that theme. I used Pauls track "Remember" in it's entirety with no edits to do some post production work around it, picking up on that eastern vibe I was getting !! I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did making it.  
A BIG thank you to Paul for this opportunity and for all your great support!!

So it Begins

Two short improvisations for this track....

LAST DRINK CLUB.

I listened this morning to "nervanished" from harmful if followed and I wrote the words to this song in about 2 minutes and recorded it in 5. It may or may not sound a bit raw but the song hit a chord with me and you should all listen to nervanish I think

It is difficult to deal with irrational destructive vicious thoughts and behavior but I believe that by bringing it to light and talking about it the good will vanquish the bad.  I just hope it will be sooner than later

lyrics

how did we get from Woodstock to Wall Street
How did we go from Lincoln to Trump
How did the words of Mohamed and Jesus
get twisted from love into hate

How can you claim to be religious
when you hate people you don't even know
How do we act on fear and greed
tolerance and love pushed aside
how is it easier to kill someone
than to leave them alone and alive

How can we get back to where we were
when we played in the playground all day
with boys and girls of all races and creeds 
as they were the same as you and me

is it something we learned
is it something we were taught
or is it something that was stolen 
or something we just lost

How???

My first own composition with designed vocals.
I'm a total amateur so sorry for all the bad parts.

Special thanks goes to my all testdrivers and especially to @r-u-r-pl for his all advices and for a breakthrough that I made on this one after 1,5 month of no bloody idea.

Lyrics was generated by freshbots.org algorythms and a bit changed to my vision. English is not my first language of use so if something doesn't make sense then blame my (non)understanding. It was more like fun making. An artistic way to express for "better" listening.

Main sense was about kind of sick, crazy love, unrequited that drive us to the edge of sense of good and evil. This is the kind of love with our suffering that hurts us and others. And when we can't balance the feeling we go over the edge. And all around must go with us. Especially the ONE.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

In the haze of dusk, you stumble, lost and weary
Can't see the light, but you feel my eyes nearly
Run from me, I'm always behind, you will see
I hide between shadows, just trust your plea

Pre-Chorus:

Keep your chest safe, guard your beating soul
In the depths of darkness, I'll take my toll

Chorus:

Run like hell, can't you hear the alarms?
My presence lurking, causing you harm
Stay in the light, where safety resides
Don't let my darkness become a guide

Verse 2:

Memories fading, just a jumble in your mind
But in your heart, I'll leave my mark undefined
I'll weave in your thoughts, my dagger in your back
Your pumping heart, my trophy from this track

Pre-Chorus:

Keep your chest safe, there's danger in my stare
For I am the creeping nightmare, you're unaware

Chorus:

Run like hell, don't let my shadow prevail
For I won't cease until I unveil
Stay in the light, where truth can’t be shown
Escape the grips of darkness, stand on your own

Bridge:

In the whispers of the night, my whispers so cold
But remember, dear one, you're brave and bold
Though I am relentless, you still have a chance
To break free from my grip and reclaim your stance

Reclaim your stance
To break free
You still have a chance
You still have a chance
You still have a chance
You still have a chance!

Chorus:

So run like hell, leave my echoes behind
In the face of fear, your strength, you'll find
I am the shadow, fading into the night. 
I can see your defiance, will you take the fight?
Run like hell, don't let me get near.
My spirit is the dark. You will always live in fear!

Fun fact:
When I've tried to sing this for a few first sessions, verse "For I am the creeping nightmare, you're (...)" sounds mostly ...different... Constant changing the sentence "unaware" into "underwear" makes me not finished the performance because of permanent laughs on myself. Hope I would never have to sing this on live session because my "professional" sense will never let me skip the mistake unnoticed.

In tribute to all those who suffer from cold, hunger, disease, war and all human stupidity.

En hommage à tous ceux qui souffrent du froid, de la faim, de la maladie, de la guerre et de toute la connerie humaine.


Lyrics
 
despite the cold, 
despite the hunger,
when winter is the only season,
when the sun as the only light,
when the night as the only shelter,

love always survives,
Freedom has no price,
save your mind,
save your mind,
keep your pride,
keep your pride,

Love always survives

lyrics:
We've been through a lot, a lot of shit
now it's time to fight, fight against
against this depression and evil vibe
this is the time we will take over our lives

We've been submersed deep deep down
we've lost our faith into this evil town
we have to get back, get back to our own feet
we had enough, enough with this shit!

and now we have our head up high
we know what it's true and never dies
and now we step up with god's command
we won't take it anymore, not get stuck into the sand

It won't take forever just to reach our dream
it won't take forever to delete the bad scene
it won't take forever to hold your hand
it won't take forever to the promised land

it won't take forever to live again
it won't take forever to face the sun
it won't take forever, it won't take forever!
