Jealous

A Secret Place

The ragged trousered philanthropists
They work night and day
Work for starving pay
And give it all away 

To the rich and powerful
Who are laughing all the way
They have all the say
They take it all away 

Until there is nothing left
There nothing left
There nothing left
We all bereft
We are bereft 

Today is the same as yesterday
Edwardian yesterday
Edwardian yesterday 

So onward we go towards our feudal doom
There is no room
For any of us to live  today
And now we die away 

We die away
We die away
And the rich go on their way

“Singing in hiding”

Vocal: Vocaloid Yukari and a dove cooing in the treetops of a neighbor's garden.

鳩のごと梢の影にかくれたし

I want to sing like a dove, hiding high in the treetops.

Singing in hiding

Singing In Hiding

Jazzy-Minimal-House (first part at least and then it morphs into something more experimental=controlled chaos:)). Track moves @128 bpm. Most of the voices are samples of me saying various words through an Octatrack sampler/sequencer, except for the "singing voices", i.e. male/female with a hint of a melody that come from a MoPhatt synth module, triggered randomly by a Zaquencer:)Mp3 quality here but released as 2 track single.
