Checkin You Out

Wow  - round four. I know, that these PLs are pretty bloated and it reflects really ALL styles and tracks i discover here on Soundcloud. I dont have a superduper algorythm implemented in my brain which tells me what to put on here and not - this is a "in the moment" decision and as the name reflects -> is a collection of what i found and really like up here. 

If youre on this list, i did not only enjoy your tracks, you made it on this little archive here which, maybe or not, someone likes and might listen to one or another of the tracks in it. I appreciate it, and those artists for sure! Repost and like it, or not - its up to you. I am still continuing to discover all of you and collect some of your works!

Much love, yours, Cmd. SF

Buried Alive!

She wears 
a cigarette end stare
and ponders over life
and wonders if she'll ever see the lights

She dreams 
of somewhere in between
and hopes we'd be more kind
she's mirroring the stars that fill her eyes
And I don't know where she's going
and I don't know where she's gone 
tonight

She stares 
at polyethylene flares
and holds her head up high
and wonders if she'll ever be so bright

And I don't know where she's gone
and I don't know where she's gone 
tonight

Aimee undecided
staring down the line
Aimee undecided
won't you stick around some time
Aimee undecided
holding all the light
Aimee undecided
won't you stick around 
sometime

I think
I thought 
I heard her name
calling out the night
I wonder if she's coming home
this time
this time...

THE RUSH

THE RUSH

Delighted that Tim agreed to join the fun on this track, adding an array of guitars, bass and other sprinklings of magic from his box of tricks.  Please listen to his great songs at @penelopes-thrill.

Stop 
start spinning around
my head can barely hear a sound

Fold yourself in crowds
Do you never find the words 
to say out loud?
oh

Bloodshot be more kind
Did you say that we get better over time?
Oh no
Find yourself sunshine
Did you mean it when you said that you were fine?
Oh no

Are you homesick 
lost in other lives?
by the old bricks
built to bridge the skies

When there's nothing to say
and there's nothing to do
It's a good day for bad news..

Burn
blue skying bear
is there nothing left that's standing there
any more?

Are you homesick
lost between the lights?
By the old bricks
built to scrape the skies

When there's nothing to say
and there's nothing to do
It's a good day for bad news

When there's nothing to say
and there's nothing to do
It's a good day for bad news

Find yourself a life sometimes
Douse yourself in brightest lights
You can(n't) fool all of the people all of the time

It's a good day for bad news
(when there's nothing to see
but the sky burning blue
it's a good day for bad news
When there's nothing to say
and there's nothing to take
It's a good day for bad news).

It's a good day for bad news..

Good Day for Bad News (by Paul and Penelope's Thrill)

It has been almost 2 years since I heard a production made in a style completely unknown to me: https://soundcloud.com/tetsuo-dubs/tetsuo-senso. I know the creator personally. I asked him what he would say about making a metal version of the track, as I had ideas for processing...
He has supported the project! For many months (while the track was preserved on my hard drive) he encouraged me to release this song.
Today is finally the moment to release - after doing the last few touches these days. Thanks, TETSUO! :)https://soundcloud.com/tetsuo-dubs
This time too, my virtual band rushed to my aid - as I usually do with my compositions.
Produced by Val Akey.
Used and programmed VSTIs:
- Drums: Addictive Drums2;
- Bass: Broomstick Bass;
- Guitars: RealLPC + GuitarRig5.
- String Orchestra: Cytrus (FL Studio 20)
- Choir: DSK ChoirZ

You can cross that bridge tonight

Feel the life inside of you

Don’t let the sun go down
Before you turn this thing around

It’s a bridge to somewhere new
Feel the life inside of you

it's a bridge to something to new
it's all waiting for you
it's your life


outro
see you out on seventh street
you’re the one they want to see

it's so good to see your face
hanging out around this place

It’s your life…

Lonely Rain

When dreams turn to stone and all you have are the memories
Dreams are not perfect
They tell a story
Each in its own different way.

I hope you will enjoy our collaborating again!

Below are Cecilia´s Lyrics:
Ici et là de par le monde il semble que l'on soient plusieurs
Appellés à répendre de la lumière, à l'encontre des ténèbres
Chacun à sa manière, chacun de son côté, mais nos destins sont comme liés

Beaucoup d'entre nous ont souffert et ont surmonté leurs peines,
beaucoup connaissent les galères et ont résolu leurs problèmes
beaucoup ont encore dur, mais on garde le coeur pur
les intentions honnêtes

Je suis le capItaine de mon propre navire,
je garde le contrôle, je veux pas qu'il chavire,
tant de monde à explorer, de choses à partager
surfant sur les vagues de la destinée

Vibin' with you
Pull up with that pain of yours
Thought that I struck a vein of yours 
Yeah
I don't know

Too many times in love
Too many times in love
I don't know
What it takes
To show it to you
Too many nights on the run
Too many nights on the run

The Lost Dreams // Preview // OUT NOW [MT Musik]

The beauty and ferocity of the North Cornish coast.  

With stunning lead vocals by Amanda Sanderson.

Listen to Amanda's great album on Bandcamp, 'Spirits Of The Witchwood'
amandasanderson.bandcamp.com/album/spir…-witchwood

St Enodoc

Shimmering shallow sands reflect the sculptured skies
Mirrored moments mask the monumental storrs
Fresh gusts rock the steady metered gait
A hurried pace to beat the tidal time

Over peninsular then climb the weaving steps
Clamber over to handpick the secret path
Cross the grassy landing as the next
Bay reveals its face the livid sudden shine

As Enodoc herself would say, it takes more than sinking dunes to make a saint.

The salty foam projects over our heads away
Mixing with the farms beyond the dry stone walls
While before the ghosts of grey approached
Now the sun scintillates under the frame

There is no map needed here
Just keep the sea to the right
Just don’t lose sight

The ruined lighthouse on the top comes into view 
This phantom figure hails the battleship behind
Draws toward us and with brooding threat
How we anticipate the pricking strikes of rain

Guest: the classical guitar and electric guitar solo on this song were played by Steve Pumphrey.

WE'VE ALL MESSED ABOUT

SOMETIMES TAKE A CHANCE
AND BREAK ALL THE RULES

TIMES  CHANGED SO FAST
JUST LIKE LIFE IT SELF
IN A BLINK OF AN EYE
THEN I SAW YOU

REMEMBER THE WAYS OF THOSE DAYS

I DON'T BELIVE IN MUCH
AND WHAT'S ABOVE
UNTILL THAT STAR
FELL UPON YOU

LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE

SOMEDAY WE'LL BE GREY
ROCKING IN THE SHADE
LOVING EVERYDAY
I HOPE IT'S WITH YOU

LIFE IS FULL OF LUCK
THEN YOUR NUMBERS UP
DON'T WISH FOR MUCH
IF YOU HAVE LOVE

LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE

Sound Of Silence - Instrumental Version

I needed everything you gave
Everyday I was wasting away
I needed...
I see it, things I threw away
Pacing the room, remember the day
I see it...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
La,la,la,la
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Still waiting for my time to come
Patiently waiting, ready to fire 
Off....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, I know it, I'm not fine
I'm lost in a maze, running blind
And bare false witness to these rants
I'm not in control, your command
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Someone lead me out
Far away from all this sound
Someone lead me out
Away from here, away from here
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No feelings, your blank and dreary eyes
Never could say for certain that
You tried...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, I know it, I'm not fine
I'm lost in a maze, running blind
And bare false witness to these rants
I'm not in control, your command
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Someone lead me out
Far away from all this sound
Someone lead me out
Away from here, away from here

Some people say
That life is just a game
Seek your fortune
Adventure and fame
Is there a meaning
To all of this?
Or does that question
Just prove my ignorance?
Quite a trip 
Quite a trip its been
If you don’t play
You can never win
Quite a trip 
Quite a trip its been
If you don’t laugh
You can never win
Quite a trip 
Quite a trip its been
You can try
You can never win

You can’t win
If you don’t try
You can’t win 
If you don’t cry
You can’t win
I wonder why?

You can’t win
If you don’t try
You can’t win 
If you don’t cry
You can’t win
I wonder why?

This great American city which we also nickname "Philly" 
and which saw the birth of the luminous Grace Kelly, 
inspired me this track.
Mixture of Jazz / Fusion / Blues.
I particularly thank Julie for this beautiful photo taken 
during a stay in Philadelphia (Philly).

Cette grande ville américaine qu'on surnomme aussi "Philly"  et qui a vu naître la lumineuse Grace Kelly, m'a inspiré cette piste.
Mélange de Jazz/Fusion/Blues.
Je remercie particulièrement Julie pour cette très belle photo 
prise lors d'un séjour à Philadelphie (Philly).

------- PHILADELPHIA  "PHILLY" ---------

like the first ray of sunshine on Philadelphia,
Like the first light on Liberty place,
Like the first reflections on Lake Delaware,

Philly wakes up slowly,
start of a new day, lovely,

Philly, Philly, Philly city of lights,
Philly, Philly, Philly city of rights,

She was born in Philly,
The luminous Grace Kelly,

Philly, Philly, Philly, Philadelphia,
Philly, Philly, Philly, Philadelphia,
Philly, Philly, Philly, Philadelphia...

::  STOWAWAY  ::

A winter take off 
A summer touch down
Leave it all behind 
Oh! A new world
With old dreams
A new time ... so it seems

Stowaway 
Inside information - never seen or found
Hide away! Its only in the mind...in the mind

It's simple to understand - when eyes get a clearer view
Your soul can heal in time...

Brave adventure 
Broad horizons
Everything should change - by now it should change...
A winter touch down - the clouds not lifting
One day it may fade from grey...

Stowaway
Inside information - never seen or found
Hide away! She's only in your mind...In your mind

^v^  HIGH ON A MOUNTAIN  ^v^
---------------------------------------------

Hey Babe!  What brings you here when so many seasons have gone & disappeared?
Thousands of suns & moons have drifted out of touch!
So are you gonna tell me now, we've really changed that much?

We were high on a mountain and we thought that we could fly
When the whole wide world was wondrous
Can we hold on to that time?
We were high upon a mountain and we thought that we could fly!

We all have a story and we've found our way
But are we still the people that we once were, today?
So tell me, tell me now - what, what do you see?
Do you see the angel you always saw in me?!

We were high on a mountain and we thought that we could fly!
When the whole wide world was wondrous
Can we hold on to that time?
We were high up on a mountain and we thought that we could fly!

Pretty boy you've got silver hues now!
Distinguished eyes distinguish truth...
Did your wings grow wide?
Did you fly again?
Did you touch the sky - did your dreams transcend?

What's your poison Babe? What have I missed?
Do you set the stage to show your hand or will we reminisce?

We were high on a mountain and we thought that we could fly!
When the whole wide world was wondrous - can we hold on to that time?

High On A Mountain

:::   THAT ONE THING   :::

When you first met he couldn't believe what you said!  - No Way!
It's not that often, that he's left with nothing to say!  To say - Touché !!
And who said that lightning would never strike twice in one place?

Now he's got you - 'Cos he gets you
And that's one thing you've never felt before.

Next time you met you were so animated - so great! So great!
He knew in an instant that you'd turn his life round some day. One Day, in some way.
And who says that lightning would never strike twice in one place?

Now he's got you - 'cos he gets you -
And that's one thing you've never felt before!
And with like minds -
Like one kind
That one thing was something after all!

That One Thing

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~    BREAK THE SILENCE    ~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Crowded tables, illuminations and  trees all heavy with decorations :: It's everything I need - but you're the one I see :: 

This sea of faces! It's getting crazy and dancing figures fill the space :: You are everything I see yeah! And I know that you see me!

Why take so much time? Yeah! That mirror let you down - 'cos I saw you turn around and your face gives you away - you want to be with me! 
So come on! Break the silence and let me in your heart!

The skies are clear at this time of year but all I wish is just to hear you. You're everything I see yeah and I know that you see me!

The night is falling but its feeling warmer :: You're on the move & your move's towards me :: And its written in the stars & they shine for me & you ::

Why take so much time? Yeah! That mirror lets you down - 'cos I saw you turn around and your face gives you away - you want to be with me!
So come on! Break the silence - and let me in your heart! 

This sea of faces - it's getting crazy! Dancing figures fill the space - we are running out of time - the bells are gonna chime..!
Break the silence - and let me in your heart.

Break The Silence

Well.. I started this track almost a year ago? Thank goodness for Sander's (https://soundcloud.com/wane-of-summer) patience. This track means a lot to me in a lot of ways.. The longer I didn't move forward the harder it was to return to it.  However, I got really inspired when the fall and winter came back because this song definitely has a late fall / wintery feel. 

I go from feeling really good about it to OMG I need to delete all my vocals and start over. However, it must be released regardless. It may not be perfect but that is fine. It is a song from two people who don't live remotely near each other. That in itself is a beautiful feat that must be appreciated. On top of that Sander's music meeting my strange cadence and expression creates a vibe never before experienced. Of course there is the story.  

The story is of course lovers caught in a 1984-esque scenario. However, I also wrote with the inspiration of current events.  I think that is also why I wanted to release it as soon as I could.. I think it has an element of needed catharsis.  However, I am very joyful to finally release this!! so much thanks for listening if you do <3

ALSO GO FOLLOW https://soundcloud.com/wane-of-summer FOR GREAT MUSIC!!!

lyrics:


 Underneath it all 
 Behind the brick and mortar tall 
Slowly becoming barren like the  fall
Trees that wish to stalll 
The distance from the sun the Earth revolves
Spring time rebirth is far 
And they're putting on the final straw

People watching revert to simple awe
As so many lines start becoming crossed
Power through crimes whats the cost
Of an entire world bound and lost
Warming up but still crowned in frost
Made hostage by the hostile law 
The coverage is constant like a coke withdrawal 
Never budging like a water soaked log
We need a fire but all we got is smoke like fog 
That obscures our view of hope till its gone

Try
Try to smile for me
Lets pretend we are free
Right Here 
While we’re Wrapped in each others arms
We know we are safe from harm


 Please turn off the radio 
When its on your eyes lose their glow 
Those voices speak poison don't you know 
They’ve chosen to keep us dull and low
Stay poised and don’t let you mind go
To where it naturally wants to the most 
Keep your cards close 

To your chest 
And never tell the rest 
Keep your secrets buried deep within your breath 
People can be trusted less and less
This is all for your best interest 
I can already tell when your thoughts want to burst from your head

I know it hurts but think of our past blessings instead
Remember when I met you back in summer of 07?
As soon as I saw you I knew within just a couple of seconds
That you were someone who was homesick for heaven 

It was a bit of a miracle you even talked to me
I was never social my thoughts never Let me be free
But you fought through my walls so playfully 
Your kiss must have worked like an open sesame 
You showed me a whole world anew a little like Disney 
It’s a little cheesy and thinking of it has me dizzy 
Your love has always made me sick like a disease 
Butterflies from you make a hurricane erupt in me


I was hoping this day would never come
But I think it was time to grab our things and run
I’d rather die than see you under a gun
Being forced to give in and succumb 
To these wicked men or whatever they have become

I no longer see any trace of love in their eyes
They despise anything that looks like life
Reflecting off of the sheen of their knives
If we leave now there is cover under disguise of night
It’s fight or flight and we both know what is right

Try (Wane of Summer & Cycle of Hands)

wow. WOW. It is released. It has been "finished".

This has been one of the most challenging and rewarding collaborations to date. Interesting as *thommo* (https://soundcloud.com/thommo_tunes) was the first person I ever collaborated with over soundcloud. Our first track "Alchemy" kind of just fell together within weeks.  4am not only took over a year but has 3 very different versions.   The first version was 6 minutes long, very fast and the lyrics were much darker.  The second had the same lyrics but the beat was much different. 
*thommo* and I started going in different directions and we both kind of threw our hands up. My communication dropped off due to life changes. *thommo* every now and then would send a message reflecting on wanting to revisiting the track but I was consumed with a far different life than I was living the first time we collaborated. 

However, *thommo* kept pushing on this track and eventually sent me the first draft of this newest version and all of the excitement and passion jumped alive. It was the best of what both of us saw the tracks potential as.  

So HERE WE ARE! Full circle with our completed collaboration ready for your listening enjoyment.  From EllE of Cycle of Hands and *thommo* we bring you: 

4 A.M.

lyrics:

There are some things that wait until the quiet
Time of night
To take over your mind before the day gets bright
When everyone’s still asleep I feel like I might
Be the only one alive so I look to the sky

I take comfort in the stars and the moon in despite
Of their distance from my room where I sit and write
Pieces of ideas from this muse deep inside
She’s the higher form I use to free my light

It’s 4 am and I am
In the deep end 
No sleep then
For me this night

It’s me and my mind
I can’t unwind 
I wonder 
I hunt for 
What is life

I Ignite a little fire to see where I am
In the A.M. I get tired but I still can’t land
Mayhem of creation doesn’t care about plans
I made when my intention was lights out by 9

But Inspiration beckons and I can’t reject the call
If it is passed to me it’s disrespect if I drop the ball
Of energy like electricity from the wall
It’s all I see and I know its me who needs to crack this vault

It’s 4 am and I am
In the deep end 
No sleep then
For me this night

It’s me and my mind
I can’t unwind 
I wonder 
I hunt for 
What is life

It’s 4 am and 
The world is small
This screen the window 
And my wall

No sounds are heard
Except my own thoughts
They go Back and forth 
And it ticks me off

My eyes are glued to this new creation 
I can’t stop, drop or leave this inspiration 
Inside me theres a key to the ignition 
When its turned There is no chance of intermission 
I’ve been hitting on something much bigger than fiction 
I know Because it comes straight from my deepest intuition 
It can’t wait to escape from everything I’ve written 
Leaping from the words the moment you see em

So tonightt I am defying my sleep cycle 
Gonna try to give life to these dreams that I pull
From the hat on my skull That been getting too full 
With ideas and scenarios playing like a film roll 
On repeat so I need to hit focus and record
Can’t miss a thing double checking every cord
I know that the final piece is my only reward 
I blow through minutes and hours with every step taken towards
My gold

LOOK WITHIN:

If hearts were made of steel
We’d forge them to the shapes we wished
If eyes were X-rays
We’d see the pitfalls at our feet

Consciousness is all we know
Confidence will ebb and flow
Consciousness is all we know
Make it better - Take control!

If tongues were silver white 
All our words would come out right
If ears were angels wings
We’d only hear the best of things

Consciousness is all we know
Confidence will ebb and flow
Consciousness is all we know
All we ever can control……..

Yeah-yeah-yeah! 
Look within your heart knows everything
Holds the key to all the answers
So go on - ask again
You’ll find the same my friend
Do what you can - the rest will follow

If spines were carved of oak
Their strength would serve to make us bold
If feet were light as air
We’d rise above all things unfair….

Inhale and sense the scent of danger
All these things combine to make us
Is anything as intriguing
When we can touch it’s mystery..?

Consciousness is all we know
Confidence will ebb and flow
Consciousness is all we know
Make it better - Take control!

Yeah-yeah-yeah! 
Look within your heart knows everything
Holds the key to all the answers
So go on - ask again
You’ll find the same my friend
Do what you can - the rest will follow...
The rest will follow...
