Description: Are we several tiers below reality? This song explores the idea that what we experience as life may be a mere test run for an even realer paradigm. 'Beta Life' is a sonic nod to the Permanent Wave indie rock genre, soaked in 90's-evoking guitars.

Love it! Takes me back to the songs that made me fall in love with music!

The Free Music foundation consists of a truly international cast:
Ullip from Germany/Spain on Drums/Percussion
Mark Hewins from England (Margate) on guitar : Mark looks back on a really varied musical past. As a member of "Gong" or collaboration with Lou Reed 
and Phil Collins he has produced many scents in the music world.
Zhiyong Zhang from Hong Kong on saxophone also looks back on a great experience in Asia and works as a music teacher in Hong Kong.
Steven Craven on trumpet has been a member of the Malaga Philharmonic Orchestra for many years and has won several awards as best cornet player in  his home country.
Scotty Böttcher from Dresden ist a Master of freestyle Jazz on Organ,Keyboards, Mallet and Bass. He made  a lot of international Projects .
This mixture of the music rebel Ullip with decades of experience in Instand composing, the highly innovative sound tinkerer and outstanding Mark Hewins
 on guitar, the brilliantly playing Zhang on saxophone with his passion for jazz, coupled with the unique playing style of Steven Craven on flugelhorn, results in a fresh new way of creating jazz. This recording was produced in Ullip's Bergton studio in Andalusia.

"The melody of rhythm" - "Percussion drives emotions": this is a musical arc of tension that goes far beyond the boundaries of the usual. The percussionist Ullip is on the one hand inspired by diverse influences such as world music and jazz, classical and experimental, but always seeks and finds his own way to express moods in tempos and feelings in the specific sound of the percussion instruments

I don´t give  my music to Spotify, it´s a Bullshit Company

Beta Life

Over Me

Dark or Nothing
Lyrics
v1
Half alive and half asleep
maybe be okay, maybe knee deep
soon forgotten or never known
fine with beeing lonely, shit scared of alone

Chorus
I used to think that it was dark or nothing
and maybe something new
It seems to me know that its dark or nothing
dark or nothing, just those two

v2
Keeping sane by keeping faith
dull the mind , to free the soul
ask no questions, expose no lies
trust your god and pray if you are wise

Chorus
I used to think that it was dark or nothing
and maybe something new
It seems to me know that its dark or nothing
dark or nothing, just those two

Bridge
Dark or nothing
is fine with me
dont fear nothing
just dark alone, just dark alone

Chorus
I used to think that it was dark or nothing
and maybe something new
It seems to me know that its dark or nothing
dark or nothing, just those two

Dark or Nothing

Dark Or Nothing

As a father, it takes a lot of effort to protect the candor of children in these complicated times. This duet with https://soundcloud.com/spukschreibmaschine is about that.

Third extract : https://soundcloud.com/thefallofsaigon/sets/off-with-your-head

Tout semble noir
Rage, désespoir
Autour de moi
De quoi perdre la foi

Mais cependant
Tout va rouler
Fi des méchants
Qui vont claquer

Ce monde est fou
Là est un fait
Jambes à mon cou
Je cherche la paix

Mais cependant
Tout va rouler
Fi des méchants
Qui vont claquer

Tout va bien se passer (x)

English translation :

Everything seems black
Rage, despair
Around me
Enough to lose faith

However
Everything will roll
Say goodbye to the wicked
Who will die

This world is crazy
This is a fact
Legs around my neck (French expression to express that you are running away)
I seek peace

However
Everything will roll
Say goodbye to the wicked
Who will die

It's gonna be alright (x)

Tout va bien se passer (SpukSchreibMaschine x The Fall of Saigon)

J’attends
		          (à Frank Dana)

J’attends depuis que je m’ennuie
À noyer mes rêves
(J’attends)… J’attends le jour, j’attends la nuit
Que le jour se lève

J’attends le bus de mes envies
Mais c’est jour de grève
J’attends de sortir de ce puits
Dans ma vie sans sève

J’attends de pouvoir dire merci
Si on me relève
J’attends de revoir l’infini
Que mes yeux s’élèvent au

Ciel, qu’on me donne un ciel
Un grand ciel d’azur !
(break)

Je m’y envolerai
Sans aucun appareil
Et je m’y laverai
De rayons de soleil

Et si les anges rient
Je leur rappellerai
Qu'avec la poésie
La vie résiste au vrai

Là, pieds et poings déliés
Les yeux écarquillés
Je pourrai dérider
Tous mes rêves fanés

(J’attends)… Et je retrouverai
(J’attends)… Mes plus belles années
(J’attends)… Repartir à zéro
(J’attends)… Redevenir Zorro
(J’attends)… Croire aux soleils levants
(J’attends)… Avec des yeux d’enfant
(J’attends)… Mais sur l’île aux trésors
(J’attends)… Ne jamais trouver l’or
(J’attends)… Redécouvrir l’amour
(J’attends)… Sans son bec de vautour

I am waiting
		          (to Frank Dana)

I've been waiting since I was bored
Drowning my dreams
(I'm waiting)... I'm waiting for the day, I'm waiting for the night
For the day to break

I'm waiting for the bus of my desires
But it's strike day
I'm waiting to get out of this well
In my life without sap

I'm waiting to say thank you
If I am relieved
I'm waiting to see the infinite
That my eyes rise to the

Heaven, that they give me a sky
A great blue sky!
(break)

I will fly there
Without any device
And I will wash myself
With rays of sunshine

And if the angels laugh
I'll remind them
That with poetry
Life resists the true

There, untied feet and fists
Eyes wide open
I will be able to cheer up
All my faded dreams

(I'm waiting)... And I will find
(I wait)... My best years
(I am waiting)... Start again
(I wait)... Become again Zorro
(I am waiting)... Believe in rising suns
(I am waiting)... With childish eyes
(I wait)... But on the treasure island
(I am waiting)... Never find the gold
(I am waiting)... Rediscover love
(I wait)... Without his vulture's beak

Nocturne

Part of the Instrumental Rock Album 2021 from MODVÆGT: 
A New Life, https://soundcloud.com/modvaegt/sets/a-new-life

V. 1.7 m - new mix november 2023

Stagnation (Instrumental)

My own recording of the song being a little low in volume, fellow Soundclouder Lex (https://soundcloud.com/davemillz) very kindly offered to remix it for me and make it a little heavier..

Lyrics : 

Trust is a traitor, a f cked up illusion
That shows us the truth once it lets us down 
And when we see the truth through this cloud of confusion
It feels like an ocean in which we drown

So we go out and we take it out on someone we should care about
Just to hear their hopeless scream as faith dies out
Well that's what you get when you face the wimp within 
When these tears of anger just can't remain beneath the skin

(chorus) 

He-hey
It's Okay       x2

We go down when we realise that lies are what make our reality
And that our eyes give meaning to this insanity
And that our lives end up in such fatality
Cos in the end, death is our only destiny

My faith is burning, and all I can breathe is the smoke
And my lungs are so full of it that I'm about to overdose
I feel my soul screaming as I feel myself choke 
And I realise that life is but a f cking joke

(chorus) x...

Facing The Truth (Remixed by Lex)

Hailing from Yorkshire, England, now living in Japan, Bryan Cooper is a melodic guitarist with a savvy, creative approach to songwriting. Evoking echoes of Coxon, Butler, Greenwood and Squire.
