virtual reality is just that virtual. i think we gave up the real world and actual human contact for the false "hollow" internet "reality

Keep loving this song, no matter how many times I hear it.

Such a beautiful song with exceptional musical and vocal talent! I love it.

This is straight up digital paranoia wrapped in a nursery rhyme rhythm 👁️ The repetition gets under your skin like a chant you can’t shake, and the way the vocals hover between playful and panicked? Horrifying in the best way 📱🕳️ It’s like the algorithm turned on itself and started whispering secrets. The silence between lines feels louder than the music, and the chorus feels less like a hook and more like something trying to crawl out. 🔲 The microwave blinked and said, “That wasn’t music, that was a warning” 💨 The kettle hissed, “If that’s what silence sounds like now, I’m not turning off” 🧺 The washing machine mumbled, “It’s hollow in here too, and now I know why” 🧂 The salt shaker whispered, “I felt that in my ceramic bones.. and I don’t like it”

NATURE FLOWS UNDER THE SEA

This song started as an idea David and I came up with to do an afrobeat song together.  So David came up with this banger of a bass line and drums track and sent it to me. I added some guitars, electric piano, and organ. I then excitedly sent it to Mikey to add the sax, which I consider to be a key element of afrobeat music, and which he always does so well. David's version is much more drum and bass heavy. Please have a listen to both so you can hear how they both sound. I really had a good time making this song. David produced and mixed both versions, and what a fun thing it is to hear my instruments integrated into an elrctronica song by such able hands.

Thumbing the nose at bad moods/anxiety. Who wins? The jury is not yet out. Just happy to have achieved a post, it has been a while.

What's that?
It's hollow inside
Can't believe there's nothing in there!
Yep, it's hollow inside
We've been tricked by social media
Hollow inside?
Keep it down or he might here you!
Yep, it's hollow inside
Hmm...

I just want to go back home
(I don't like it here)
I just want to go back home
(I don't like it here)

I just want to go back home
I just want to go back home
(I don't like it here)

What's that?
It's hollow inside
I just want to go back home
Can't believe there's nothing in there!
I just want to go back home 
It's hollow inside
(I don't like it here)

I just want to go back home
It's hollow inside
Can't believe there's nothing in there!
I just want to go back home
It's hollow inside

It's Hollow Inside

Go With The Flow

Art work by Majali Design

Light the sea 

When the night surprises me
that I am not sleepy alone 
then I defy time 
I implore the return of the sun 
and I think of the one who is missing 
that gives me wings

when the wind tells me
what it sees from the sky
these hatreds as old as the world 
that flow like rivers of shame
so I look at the one that counts 
and it gives me wings 

when my soul is adrift
I sail on a drunken boat
she is my lighthouse I rely on her
to light the sea, to show me the sky 

when life torments me
when questions fly in the air
when words lose their meaning
when expectations remain vain
then I look at the one I love 
so that she opens her wings to me

when my soul is lost and capsizes
when in the distance I can no longer see the shore 
she is my lighthouse I rely on her
to light the sea, to show me the sky

***EN FRANCAIS PLUS BAS*** (Original song, mix, mastering, vocals and lyrics by KidOfEarth) ⚠️ © (Copyright France) I did this for fun and this track is above all a test on the voice  because I like the blues! After 5 whisky, 50 cigarettes, 10 coffes, a few amphetamines, 2 bars of 100% cocoa dark chocolate and 200 takes to work on my voice here is the result...

TOPIC
About thirty years ago, I lived on a boulevard with incessant and very noisy road traffic. This artery was used dozens of times by emergency vehicles going to the emergency room near my home. And to top it off, the rooms of the apartment I rented were adjoining the delivery dock of a supermarket. Hell!
My next door neighbors were an elderly couple who had lived there forever. When I asked them if the noise didn't bother them, they both replied "Ah but not at all! We're used to it and we couldn't live without it, that reassures us!"
You will therefore have understood that this burlesque blues is for them who would certainly not have supported living in the countryside.

Lyrics
"The nature it gives me the glands"
when I'm tripping around the boulevards
I watch the racing cars backfire
it puts a little animation
I like the ron-ron of the traffic jams.
The nature it gives me the glands
I'm bored, I want to hang myself
if there are no bars and easy girls
I'm like a chick in its omelet...
I dream of a nice apartment
in the middle of a crossroads
to enjoy the charming sound
sirens, that's velvet.
The songs of the piafs every morning
it wakes me up early and I'm not well
the rooster that brays in the barnyard
It's making me nervous, I'm counting down...
"hey Polo! Open the window! It is not well?
eh! Polo!?..."

Cette piste est avant tout un test sur la voix car j'aime le blues!
Après 5 whiskys, 50 clopes, 10 cafés, quelques amphétamines, 2 tablettes de chocolat noir 100% cacao et 200 prises pour travailler ma voix, voici le résultat...

TOPIC
Il y a plus de trente ans, j'ai habité sur un boulevard au trafic routier incessant et très bruyant. Cette artère était empruntée des dizaines de fois par les véhicules de secours qui se rendaient aux urgences près de chez moi. Et pour combler le tout, les chambres de l'appartement que je louais étaient mitoyennes avec le quai de livraison d'un supermarché. L'enfer!
Mes voisins de palier étaient un couple de personnes âgées qui vivait là depuis toujours. Quand je leur est demandé si le bruit ne les dérangeait pas, ils m'ont répondu tous les deux "Ah mais pas du tout! On a l'habitude et on ne pourrait plus s'en passer, ça nous rassure!"
Vous aurez donc compris que ce blues burlesque est pour eux qui n'auraient certainement pas supporté de vivre à la campagne.

"La nature ça m'fout les glandes"
Quand j'me trimballe sur les boulevards
je mate les bolides qui pétaradent
ça met un peu d'animation
moi j'aime le ron-ron des bouchons.
La nature ça me fout les glandes
je m'emmerde, j'ai envie de me pendre
si il n'y a pas des bars et des minettes
Je suis comme un oeuf dans une omelette...
Moi je rêve d'un bel appartement
au beau milieu d'un carrefour
pour apprécier le son charmant
des sirènes, ça c'est du velours.
Le chant des piafs tous les matins
ça me réveille tôt et je suis pas bien
le coq qui braille dans la basse-cour
ça me rend nerveux, je fais le compte à rebours...
"hé Polo! Ouvre la fenêtre! On est pas bien là?
hein! Polo!?..."

A Good Half Cup Of Bleak

5 Star Commended Entry in the 2024 UK Songwriting Contest
Graham Williams - Vocals, guitars & bass; Katie Gill - Piano; Israel Pereira - Cajón.

I found a demo of this song from 2018 - just a run through for The Peace Band really - recorded on my Tascam DR-05. It was just me on acoustic guitar and vocals with help from Peace Band members Katie Gill on piano and Izzy Pereira on Cajón. I loaded up the recording into Cubase and recorded a new double tracked lead vocal over the top. I then added some backing vocals, electric guitar, bass and strings. There's an ocarina track in there as well. Katie's piano has got a bit lost in the mix unfortunately. I was originally going to record this song from scratch until I came across the demo.

If you're looking for a heaven on Earth, you can make it so,
Like planting seeds in a garden with love, flowers bloom and grow,
To make this world into a better place, all you need is just a little faith,
If you're looking for a heaven on Earth, you can make it so,

Heaven on Earth, heaven on Earth, we’re looking for a heaven on Earth.
Heaven on Earth, heaven on Earth, we’re looking for a heaven on Earth.

When you’re looking for a heaven on Earth, things of things you know
Rain falls upon the mountains above, makes the rivers flow,
To give this world the magic stroke, all you need is just a little hope,
When you’re looking for a heaven on Earth, things of things you know

Peace and love, peace and love, peace and love come from heaven above,
Peace and love, peace and love, peace and love come from heaven above,

If you're looking for a heaven on Earth, you can make it so,
Like planting seeds in a garden with love, flowers bloom and grow,
To make this world a better place, all you need is just a little faith,
If you're looking for a heaven on Earth, you can make it so,
If you're looking for a heaven on Earth, you can make it so

All Music vocals lyrics and production done by this guy....It's a moment in time when my heart was cracked. I love this track. Been sitting on the acoustic for years...decided to give it some Razz and give it light...Enjoy...


You went away, like a bird you flew
You went away, before I even knew
And now you're crawling back crawling back to me
And now you're calling back, calling back I see

But you left me like a piece of shit
On the side of the road
And you went on in life without me
And now you call, you call, you call
But I'm too cold, too cold, too cold

What about the Daze you left me in
Through the bad times
What about the tears I cried for the last time
And everyday I would scream to the sky
That you never really gave a fuck
But now you're a pretty young girl and you wanna talk

Well take it away
Well take it away
Like you took it away
Like you took it away

You went Away

lyrics:

Here's a scene
A local open mic
Who cares where, they all seem to be alike

Oh thank God
Good thing you're here
'Cause I need another Neil Young cover in my ear

You ask me
Do I know this song
I totally do but you insist that I'm wrong

So buy a ten-dollar beer
And kick out the jams
'Cause I'll bet you wish Abigail Devoe had an OnlyFans

You do your set
And get your kicks
I think I seen those stage moves in a video from '86

I do my thang
Some song about wangs
Just an insult to art, an unmusical harangue

But there's a chick on YouTube
Who understands a real man
A dude who wishes Abigail Devoe had an OnlyFans

You don't get
My major depth
The wideness of my artistic breadth

At least back home
You got stuff to hold
With ancient seeds and stems in the crack o' the gatefold

But at the end of the night
With yo' wiener in hand
Wishin' that Abigail Devoe had an OnlyFans

Just dreamin' of Abigail Devoe on OnlyFans
A classic beauty that don't over-tan
Wrapped up in a vintage caftan
A woman that appreciates a well-made flan
Sendin' you her socks for only a grand
Just don't admit that you eat so much bran
Or still drive around in that Chevrolet van
If only the plans in your head would pan
Out

Abigail Devoe OnlyFans, Pt. 1

■概要(Overview)
グリーン券を購入すると、
ゆったりとした座席で設備が充実した車両に乗ることが出来ます。
窓側の席に座ってのんびり旅をしたいけれどいびきが聞こえてきた・・
そんな感じの曲です。
短いですが、とても久しぶりの新曲です。
今回はドラム→ボーカル→ギター→その他ベースなどの順で作ってみました。

When you purchase a green ticket,
You can ride in a well-equipped vehicle with comfortable seats.
I want to sit in the window seat and travel leisurely, but I can hear snoring...
It's a song like that.
It's short, but it's my first new song in a long time.
This time I made it in the order of drums → vocals → guitar → other bass etc.


■歌詞
グリーン車に乗っていこうよ
5号車か4号車の前で待つ
弁当とビール買って
夢見心地の混沌へ

どぅっどぅっぱっつ
どぅっどぅどぅっぱっ
どぅっどぅっぱっ
どぅっどぅどぅっどぅっ

どぅっどぅっぱっ
どぅっどぅるっぱっ
どぅっどぅどぅるっ
どぅっどぅどぅっどぅっ


窓側の席のサンシェード
閉めて　寝息だけが聞こえてくる
So　Guuuu.... Spiii.... Guuuu.... 
Spiii.... Guuuuuuuuuuu....u
I wanna be...


相　席　捨て(ぃ)　夢見
I can change seats at any time.
I can't walk past your seat.


グリーン車に乗っていこうよ
ゆっくりシート倒していく
One duck .... Two ducks
And crying baby
夢 見心地の混沌へ

どぅっどぅっぱっつ
どぅっどぅどぅっぱっ
どぅっどぅっぱっ
どぅっどぅどぅっどぅっ

どぅっどぅっぱっ
どぅっどぅるっぱっ
どぅっどぅどぅるっ
どぅっどぅどぅっどぅっ

(逃れられないのはしょうがないね)

相　席　Stay　夢見
I can change seats at any time.
I can't walk past your seat.

■Lyrics
Let's ride the green car
Wait in front of car 5 or 4.
buy lunch and beer
Toward a dreamlike chaos

Dudduppattsu
Douuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Dudduppaaaaaaaaaaaa
Dududdudduddud

Dudduppaaaaaaaaaaaa
Dudduruppppa
Douuuuuuuuuuuuu
Dududdudduddud


window seat sunshade
Close it and all I can hear is someone's breathing
So　Guuuu.... Spiii.... Guuuu....
Spiii.... Guuuuuuuuuuuu....u
I wanna be...


I gave up on the dreaminess.
I can change seats at any time.
I can't walk past your seat.


Let's ride the green car
Slowly recline the seat and fall asleep
One duck.... Two ducks
And crying baby
A dream into a chaotic chaos

Dudduppattsu
Douuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Dudduppaaaaaaaaaaaa
Dududdudduddud

Dudduppaaaaaaaaaaaa
Dudduruppppa
Douuuuuuuuuuuuu
Dududdudduddud

(It can't be helped that you can't escape)

Give up on being dreamy
I decided to stay in this seat.
I can change seats at any time.
I can't walk past your seat.

Guuuu...

Little to say about this song; both lyrics and music (all organic but for programmed drums) were done very impulsively, so it may show my primal inspiration without reworks or additions. Hope you'll enjoy it!

Translated Lyrics:

YO PENSÉ (LA SEXTA VEZ) / I THOUGHT (THE SIXTH TIME)

Yo pensé: esa mujer no es peligrosa…
  (I thought: that woman is not dangerous …)
No esperé enamorarme como un idiota.
  (I did not expect to fall in love like an idiot.)
Me pregunté: ¿qué tiene en los ojos que tanto me tienta?
  (I wondered: what’s in her eyes which tempts me so much?)
y me acerqué para hablar con ella y verlos de cerca.
  (And I got closer to speak with her and watch them closely.)

Y si era la primera vez, ¿por qué no extrañaba hacerlo con ella?
  (And if it was the first time, why didn’t I feel strange doing it with her?)
Y si era la primera vez, ¿por qué parecía que era la sexta?
  (And if it was the first time, why did it seem to be the sixth one?)
Y si era la sexta vez, ¿por qué hubo preguntas después de la escena?
  (And if it was the sixth time, why were there questions after the scene?)

Y si fue la única vez, ¿por qué no puedo apartarla de mi cabeza?
  (And if it was the unique time, why cannot I take her out of my head?)
