The origin to this song is a guitar track by REKHA. I added som organ, synth bass and a keyboard played drum track as well as wrote lyrics and sang the underlying male vocal. REKHA finished it all off with the lead female vocal. This is long, but we do hope you enjoy listening.  And for all of you smokers and ex-smokers, you know what I'm talking about at the end...

FLAMES OF MY DESIRE

I can see 
I can feel
I can see you
I can feel you
Without you
I can feel you
Without you
I can be

I can see where you are
I can see where you’re going
I can see where you’ve been
I can feel what you want
I can feel what you need
I can feel your attraction
A chemical reaction
I can be your one and only fire
Your singular desire
Throw oil on the fire
Feed the flames of my desire
The flames of my desire

I can love
I can love
With you
Within you
I can be

I can drown in your scent
I can love your body
I can feel your reaction
I can lose my head
Be your one and only fire
Your singular desire
Feed the flames of my desire
Flames of my desire
Flames of my desire

I light up a cigarette
Open my window
I let out the steam
Signs and tells on the floor
The glow
The embers
The flames of my desire
The flames of my desire
The flames of my desire
The flames of my desire

Flames Of My Desire

Flames Of My Desire | REKHA-IYERN [Fe] 🎸🎤

It was 1995, I had already acquired my trusty Alesis SR-16 "Dr No" but not hooked it up in stereo yet on my 4-track cassette recorder.

This track is one of the more fun I made in those days, thought I'd share it here. For the occasion, I properly mixed and mastered it in such a way to keep it's original character intact as much as possible. I did put *some* fancy effect to stereoize the vocals a little, and there is a subtle stereo reverb on the drums.. Things like that, but that's just to make it palatable for the modern crowd. This is after all an original recording, no edits, no overdubs.

Thinking about putting an entire 'legacies' album together. Would anyone be interested in that?

The very mature lyrics:

Salvation song
Connect me if I'm wrong
Me I am cracked, broken and torn
Haven't been clean ever since I was born

But I don't bear much pain
I'm not gonna jump no train
Every single hour every single day
Guess life is just a game

Some say I am insane
Some say I am just the same
As all them youth rebel rabble rebel rabble
Well I know better but you won't hear me tell
Everyone lives his own little hell
Let them turn around in their own smell
I let them feel bad if they let me feel well
It be alright with me

I know I only live to be
I know this is all you can see
I live to be just like the trees
And the flowers and the bees

Some say I am insane
Some say I am just the same
As all them you rebel rabble rebel rabble
Let live through their own hell
Let them live with their own smell

Salvation

Salvation song
Connect me if I'm wrong
Me I am cracked broken and torn
Haven't been clean ever since I was born

Some say salvation
Everyone, everyone...
Rebel rabble rebel rabble
Loser! Loser!

Salvation Song

7/15 from the collection, Everything Except Oblivion (soundcloud.com/jenniferroe/sets/everything-except-oblivion)

This is one of fifteen vignettes written, translated, and produced by sound artist Raul (Raðulfr Maganhar, @raoulfr) and voiced by Jennifer Roe (@jenniferroe) from the project, Everything Except Oblivion. "It's not poetry, it's not music," says Mainer, whose "thinkmeters" are cut and crystalized from his daily experiences. Each "slice" paints and processes a memory—the good and the bad, the light and the dark—in a sort of sonic journal. "Each one has their story and characters, but I hope that whoever listens will make it their own," says Mainer, who likens these soundscapes to meditation sessions for mortals. Against a backdrop of mystical music, a narrator points the way to nirvana . . . but with words and sounds that are earthly and human.

I bought this children's guitar at GoodWill for less than $15... I put $6 worth of good nylon strings on it.  And then I just played it.  Maybe I'm out of line... especially since I set the levels too high when recording it.  But there's something about this recording: I guess beauty is in the ear of the beholder...

Forward Thru Exctintion

I´m just trying to show you something
You don’t want to know
I´m hiding all my guarded secrets
You already know
As if I stupid man would not comprehend
you go down to my plain 
Tell me it is plain to see
Your crying´s all about me

You say we’re goin´ down slow
And you have always known
We´re goin´ down slow
That´s the way things go

Drunk, lost and lonely, 
Melancholic beyond words,
Angry till you’re trembling,
And feeling unready for love,
You go out in a wild romantic gesture 
To a beautiful woman    
You fake a smile and a sober expression
And all in the name of love and pain.

You say we’re goin´ down slow
And you have always known
We´re goin´ down slow
That´s the way things go

You wonder ´bout all these contradictions 
All these trials and confusions inside
But with a splendid displacement
You will let them hide.

You say we’re goin´ down slow
And you have always known
We´re goin´ down slow
That´s the way things go

Goin´down slow

I never really cared for the finished product i posted last week, it never really sounded right. I loved the Roy Bittan style piano, and that took a long time to learn and record, but it didn't work so i scrapped it for the fender organ that i played on the fly. And I transposed it up a third, and reworked the words and completely remixed it.  I think it works a lot better now.. 

I don’t want to be the one you call up on the telephone
To see if I could come around ‘cause you don’t wanna be alone
Don’t get me wrong I want to spend some time with you
Don’t get me wrong but do you feel the same for me I feel for you
I don’t want to be the one that’s always looking in your eyes
Then you turn lights down low
And suddenly I’m paralyzed
It makes my heart start to stutter my knees they shake
and my words they flutter
I don’t want to be the one that ends up feeling like a fool, 
I don’t want to be the one when love has faded and we’re through
Love’s so overrated, it makes your life so complicated

I Don't Want To Be The One (Redux)

Yeshua The Reason For The Season

A song inspired on an article I once read about Aeham Ahmad, the piano player from Yarmouk, Syria, who's piano was burned by IS.  After this he flee from his country and ended up in Germany. He still plays the piano; you can also find him here on SoundCloud!  @aeham_ahmad




DISCONNECTED

I used to feel free
In my beloved country
There was nothing to image 
that could make me want to leave that place
I used to play piano
And sang songs of love and happiness
Now those days are  gone, those lovely days are gone

I am disconnected
disconnected

My piano is destroyed now
They burned out the devil
My piano was executed and I’m sure 
I would be next if I would stay around too long
So I started travelling
Without knowing where to go
I started travelling
I just had to go.

I am disconnected
Disconnected

I’ve travelled by car, by trains and busses
I walked for many hours
While I sat on boat on the endless sea
I thought it never ended
I’ve waited for gates, without food in the rain 
I crossed 9 borders
Now I here and 
I’m disconnected

I’m disconnected
disconnected

On most recordings you hear me play and sing on my own, but I also work together with other people.

Silicone Kids was a band I played guitar in, in the early 90's.  The Silcone Kids profile holds a lot of old tracks and also some tracks that were recorded during a reunion rehearsal in 2021.
