A bit bored so I mixed some words and vocal with Bob Warner's Lazydayz Blues instrumental track.

Lyrics:

I Don't Want to Meet You IRL

I don't want to
I don't want to
I don't want to
I don't want to
I don't want to meet you IRL

Everything's so perfect me might as well
Hold onto a good thing
Can't afford to lose this feeling


I don't want to
I don't want to
I don't want to
I don't want to
I don't want to meet you IRL

But I'll meet you in the happy place where we dwell
People say we're crazy - maybe we are
But I just want to be with your avatar

I don't want to
I don't want to
I don't want to
I don't want to
I don't want to meet you IRL

You are so intoxicating I can tell
If we ever met eye to eye
Catastrophic overload I'd lose my mind

I don't want to meet you IRL
Everything's so perfect me might as well
Hold onto a good thing
Can't afford to lose this feeling

EP: Hedera Helix

Hedera Helix ft. Hega

I'd been talking for a while with @kinelle-man (one of my favourite Soundcloud artists) about collaborating on something, but I was always too lazy to do anything about it. Then he recently approached me with this great tune, which was more or less complete already, and he suggested I add some drums to it, and whatever else I thought might work. most of the music is from kinelle man, while I added some drums, organ, and extra guitar bits (see below for details). Once I mixed it together, we really loved how it turned out and I'm grateful to kinelle man for this fun opportunity! Dedicated to a friend of a friend.  :)

kinelle man - bass, main guitars, arrangement
mistermark - drums, percussion, organ, additional guitar fills (samples of GarageBand loops)
Kevin G Davy - trumpet


Image design concept by me based on kinelle man's song title, created using ChatGPT 4o and Photoshop. It's meant to be an abstract of a cell nucleus, on an old polaroid photo.

paroles

J’comprends pourquoi tu cries
C’est affreux ces lumières

Et puis tout ce grand bruit
Y’a plus cool comme réveil

On a dû faire quelque chose de beau, tu sais
Pour que tu lâches le soleil

Faut pas croire tout ce  qu’on dit
Si c’est pas l’paradis

L’paradis on s’en fout
On a mieux on a nous

On fera tout ce qu’il faudra, tu sais
J’te jure tu ne regretteras pas 
 
Et t’auras de l’amour 
Tous les jours
A mesure qu’tu grandis
Lui aussi
lui aussi
il grandit

C’est sûr qu’on va se tromper
Et t’auras mal un jour

Ça ne sera pas fait exprès
Et ça s’ra pas toujours 

Et t’apprendras  aussi que les autres
C’est pas toujours d’leurs fautes
Tu feras c’que tu pourras 
Où la vie t’emmènera

On aura peur pour toi
Mais tiens pas compte de ça.
C’est normal c’est comme ça

Tu tomberas amoureux   
Tu t’y attendras pas
  
Un beau matin pluvieux
Tu l’auras dans tes bras
Et là tu comprendras

Qu’y a rien de plus beau qu’la vie, 
Et tu sauras pourquoi
Et là tu comprendras
Qu’y a rien de plus beau qu’la vie, tu vois   
Et tu sauras pourquoi

y'a rien de meilleur

simple song about a simple time way back when
#lofi   #first love  #losing yer VitaminC

Tangerine
                                                                                     
Well I was thinking of how we used to play                                        
Oh so many years ago
Made up some silly names
No one knew what we meant
Where did that time with you go

I recall you had a passion for those fruits
Called me your Red Raspberry Toy
You were my mashed Banana Girl
Well that really cracked you up
And I was your Cherry Baby Boy

Then our time was over when you said                                                                        
Your Daddy’s gonna move the family west
On that final day, you pleaded, “Hold me Sugar Plum,
and whisper the name I like the best”

Tangerine, Let me be  the Apple of your eye
My Tangerine, I’m sticky and sweet, your guy
Oh Tangerine, my first love
Now say goodbye

You sent me letters saying you’d always wait for me
Using veggie names to cheer me up
I became your Broccoli 
and I christened you Sweet Pea
It was all I had but it was enough

Saying when can I see you my Cauliflower Queen
I would call you up but we couldn't talk for long
Paying by the minute, those long distance charges added up 
There was only time for me to sing your favorite song

Tangerine, I wanna  be the Apple of your eye
My Tangerine I’ll always be sticky and sweet, your guy
Tangerine, you were my first love 
Now say goodbye
Goodbye





Tangerine

Force Majeure

Lyrics

One day it's right
The next it's wrong
So say true meaning
Arise my dear Sun
Way to show start
Conception of riddle
Middle Earth heart
Bowed meaning from fiddle
From East to West
You warm our chest
Breast filled bust
Until eve when you set

We know you'll come back
But what of us?
Fallible mortals ride spiritual bus
Fussed, we're framed with oasis unknown
So we make dimensions
To upgrade our clone
Prone to pain
But not prone to feel it
Heads fly insane
Books rot in this normal that 'reels it'

One day it's sight
Blind the next
New strong
True meaning will find disillusionment gong
Arise dear Sun
All day, protect
Creation makes the clean reflect
Finding freedom in existence
Tuned to aquatical vassalised consistence

The truth changes all day
It rearranges if you look it's way
It mutates to make new universe
Behavioural states adjusting diverse
Expanding like all known cosmos
Laser interferometer sees new truth hopes

Truth Changes (Jam)

There’s a treasure down deep in this garbage can
To find it, plug your nose, feel the dirt on your hands
Just remember that they never really understand 
Your personal Rosetta Stone
