Welcome to the World: 2020 Newborns from the Core

I can't seem to put down the guitar now that I've picked it back up! Played around with layering some kind of simple repetitive loops to create a hypnotic atmosphere on this one.

So nice that my longtime collaborator friend @dough-factory has returned to SoundCloud after a break of a couple years! This is our first track working together since then and it came together in a really cool way. I was inspired by Ryan's electronic drums and bass to lay down some rhythm guitar as well as a few synth leads. Then he came up with some awesome lyrics/vocals that I think captures the vibe of this piece quite well.

Keep an eye out for more from us, we are thinking of pulling together a whole album or EP over the coming months.

Lyrics IPG1:
Cloud Stepping (Chorus) Life is relative, 
to the one that’s living it Inside outlook, 
to giving and taking it 
Experience god’s works, all senses 
We were given just a little bit 
We couldn’t handle it all  the few we have 
can nearly fit the few 
we have can nearly fit
(Verse1) 
If we knew it all, and all, and all 
Then nothing would matter It’s all a puzzle to be solved 
We have always been the answer 
The plan of god without reward 
Evolves in different ways 
We are all awake in different dreams 
To let the devil play
(Verse2)
 Who amongst us hear the screams 
Of millions of lives lost,  and don’t look on it as savagery
 And wonder what’s the cost 
What’s the worth, and what’s the cost 
Are we listening or not 
Are we listening or not
(Chorus)
 Life is relative, to the one that’s living it Inside outlook, to giving and taking it Experience god’s works, all senses 
We were given just a little bit 
We couldn’t handle it all  the few we have 
can nearly fit the few we have can nearly fit

You are better off without me. 


Verse 1: 

I'll never forget that last day I kissed your cheek. I never imagined that from that afternoon on I'd never see you again.

Verse 2: 

Everything clouded over in my heart. You were a part of my life, and in your absence, everything was lost. I cried trying to understand why you were leaving. Until I understood that I deserved it.

Bridge: 

Now I see clearly. I respect your distance. I even confess that it's fare what happened.

Chorus: 

You're better off without me. Your friends tell me so. That your lips smile more and you look fuller. You're better off without me. I saw it in your photographs. Your eyes shine brighter, and you even look more beautiful. I only pray for you every day, convinced that I loved you very much, but I didn't understand the meaning. And now that you're gone, I faint from your absence, and in my loneliness, for all I've done wrong, I beg for mercy. 

Verse 3: 

I remember your words, your laughter, your silences. Everything that made me happy, now everything is uncertain. I wonder if you'll ever think of me, or if I'm dead to you.
 
I wonder if you'll ever think of me, if you'll remember my name... and my existence


Español 

Estás mejor sin mi. 

Verso 1: 

"Jamás olvidaré, ese último día que tu mejilla besé.
 Nunca imaginé, que desde esa tarde ya no te vería otra vez"

 Verso 2: 

"Todo se nubló en mi corazón, 
eras parte de mi vida 
y en tu ausencia 
todo se perdió. 

Lloraba intentando comprender por qué te ibas. 
Hasta que entendí, que eso me lo merecía"

 Puente: 

"Ahora veo claro, respeto tu distancia, incluso te confieso que fue justo lo que pasa"

Coro: 

 "Estás mejor sin mí, me lo dicen tus amigas, 
que sonríen más tus labios y te ves más rellenita 
 Estás mejor sin mí
lo vi en tus fotografías, 
tus ojos brillan más
 y se te ve hasta más bonita.

Yo sólo rezo por ti todos los días convencido, 
de que te quise mucho 
pero no supe el sentido. 
Y ahora que no estás, 
desfallezco por tu ausencia, 
y en mi soledad, 
por todo lo que hice mal, 
te pido clemencia.


Verso 3:

 "Recuerdo tus palabras, tus risas, tus silencios. 
Todo lo que me hacía feliz, 
ahora todo es incierto. 
Me pregunto si alguna vez pensarás en mí, o si para ti estoy muerto."

Coro: 

"Estás mejor sin mi, 
me lo dicen tus amigas, 
que sonríen más tus labios y te ves más rellenita. 

Estás mejor sin mi, 
lo vi en tus fotografías,
 tus ojos brillan más, 
y se te ve hasta más bonita.

 Yo sólo rezo por ti, 
 todos los días convencido, 
de que te quise mucho
 pero no supe el sentido. 
Y ahora que no estás, 
desfallezco por tu ausencia, 
y en mi soledad, 
por todo lo que hice mal, 
te pido clemencia.

Me pregunto si alguna vez pensarás en mí, si recordarás mi nombre...y mi existencia..

I discovered at my brother’s funeral that one of the most difficult things to deal with was having a daughter who is sobbing her heart out about her uncle Brian when you are sobbing your heart out about your brother Brian and she is looking to her Dad for some help and, if possible, an explanation. No explanation could possibly quell such tears but, as her Dad, I’ll always be there to love and help her in any way I can.

A few days after the funeral, Charlotte was still very upset, saying to me “I’m really missing him again”.  When I’m finding times difficult, I have a tendency to write songs about them as both a way of channeling those emotions into something creative and also to leave me with a memory of how I was feeling at the time.  So I suggested she might consider writing some words about how she was feeling.  Having never written anything like that before, she asked if I would help, so we sat down together and used “I’m really missing you again “ as a starting point, eventually coming up with a tune we thought fitted the words.   

Somehow, songs always seem to develop a direction of their own and with such an emotional subject, the words began to do the same, Charlotte recalling how she felt about the family times we’d all spent together.  Despite her initial doubts, she soon took complete control and was soon fashioning the song into the shape she wanted.  I had a slight input with the words and music here and there but the song belongs totally to her.

You’ll no doubt be very pleased to hear that Charlotte is absolutely and totally thrilled with the final result.  Much of that is down to Gordon and Chris.  Working with them on the song has been such a pleasure, for which we owe them a huge debt of thanks.

Many thanks to all for listening.

Many tales of times gone by
A love for now but never future shy
I hear your name but your not there
I feel your fame but not your stare

I’m really missing You Again 

Faith to face couldn’t say goodbye 
Guilty feelings I cannot lie
A million moves are made without you
But every single thought is like déja vu

I’m really missing You Again 

So many tears on so many faces
So many years with so many spaces
Amongst the crowd all single fated
How has love evaporated 

I’m really missing You Again

I’m really missing You

Another year another song another picture
Disappears amongst the history of fixtures 
How can we meet without our guide 
The Man who showed us family pride

I’m really missing You Again 
I’m really missing You Again

A Better World

Once settled in Artica Point, almost frozen, I watch the world happening fast, and I tell you about by singing five verses with different vocal styles, a main instrumental theme in progress all along, and some bits of the other songs in the album to keep it conceptual ;)

Letra  /  Translated Lyrics:

DESDE AQUÍ (HISTORIA CONTEMPORÁNEA)  /  FROM HERE (CONTEMPORARY HISTORY)

Ahora que estoy aquí congelado,  /  Now I’m frozen here,
observo el mundo por internet y radio.  /  I watch the world on internet and radio.
Todo sucede ahí abajo tan rápido,  /  Everything happens so fast down there,
que se aprecian claramente los cambios,  /  that changes are clearly appreciated,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Con mis constantes vitales al mínimo,  /  With my vital signs down to a minimum,
como viviendo una película,  /  like living in a movie,
soy capaz de comprender el mecanismo  /  I am able to understand the mechanism
de la evolución de nuestra civilización,  /  of the evolution of our civilization,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

El frío que congela mi cuerpo  /  The cold that freezes my body
… … no me permite llorar,  /  … … doesn’t allow me to cry,
pero mi corazón sigue caliente muy adentro, en algún lugar,  /  but my heart is still warm deep inside, somewhere,
y puedo al menos entristecerme por lo que veo al mirar  /  and I can at least feel sad about what I see when I look
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Ahora que lo comprendo todo  /  Now when I understand everything,
entiendo que todos somos iguales,  /  I realize we’re all the same,
que sentimos lo mismo aunque ninguno lo sabe.  /  and we feel the same although no one knows it.
Desde aquí me identifico con cada hombre,  /  From here I feel identified with every man,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Desde aquí me alegro de no estar ahí abajo.  /  From here I’m glad not being down there.
Esperaré a ver qué pasa dentro de cien años.  /  I’ll wait and see what happens a hundred years from now.
Mi cuerpo apenas será un poco más viejo,  /  My body will hardly be a little older,
pero sí cumpliré siglo y medio de sabiduría y tristeza,  /  but I will get a century and a half of wisdom and sadness,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

serious as a heart attack
this is HIP HOP honor that
and keep it moving
exactly how all of that
has guided me along this path
continue

DANKE NOETIC produces tracks
#frawstakwaforyou reacts
by recording to it 
and if you do the math
you’ll find music results from that
so let’s do this

all about the art in fact
entertaining thoughts since back then 
always grooving
an old school artifact
lemme show you where the party’s at
get stupid

if you hear me then holla back

if you hear me then holla back

serious as a heart attack

if you hear me then holla back

serious as a heart attack
don’t even get me started man
when we come through 
we have such a huge impact 
that there are bound to be copycats
but that’s cool though

see we keep it authentic as
it ever could be to counteract
what is fake and foolish 
ignorance is bliss perhaps
but I rather would take the chance
to be human

to live and to love and to laugh
so I can face all the fears that I have
without losing
my mind even more than I already have
maintaining mental states of matter
of my choosing

if you hear me then holla back

if you hear me then holla back

serious as a heart attack

if you hear me then holla back

Psychosomatic I'm sick mind over matter I guess I know I'll manage through this although its mad I admit kausing much damage for its oowwnn advantage to get going with grammar and wit heart and soul standard equipped microphone crackle is mixed style has no master to WIP silence holds after the clip you might not know that exists while zoning out on this it's like there are shadow effects lines overcast nonetheless rhymes slowly scatter and split find you and flatten your wig smashing it in like a hammer in fist scatterbrained I would not suggest you imagining this the shock and awe just might cause cardiac arrest
