Very trippy headspace. Sounds great on headphones.

Exceptionally powerful piece, Carlos. Modern music for ancient fables. :)

Fascinating track! Love those drums and percussion! Yes!

Missed this beauty when it came out...masterful, brother!

New song written by David Cooper and Glen Granthem

Music and all instruments - Glen Granthem

Lyrics and all vocals - David Cooper

Lyrics:

Catch a whisper on the wind
Catch a bird up on the wing
Catch your breath, breathe it slow
Concentrate and don’t let go

Chorus

What do we stand for?
Give me a clue
What is it all about? 
What are we gonna do

Across the sea in a land so far
Sits a girl in a rundown bar
What she wants she doesn’t know
Time passes oh so slow

Chorus

Solo

Break

Far, far, far away – The flame keeps burning etc

Far, Far Away (Cooper/Granthem Collaboration)

"Modular Residue"

This is a re-upload of a track that was recorded a few years ago.  It was originally recorded in 2023, and it consists of 3 different segments of sitar and drum jams spliced together with subsequent sitar and bass tracks added after.  Drums were played by Mick Mack, sitar and bass by Gremescer Fuckburger.  I generally like the way it turned out, but I always wished I had tuned the sitar better before recording.  I have edited this track a bit to fix some of the tuning issues, but there is only so much I can do.  Either way, I hope you enjoy.

You know, don't you?  Oh, yes you do.  
You know you're being monitored, observed, assessed by something that knows you intimately.  
Knows you better than you’d like to think.  
Your secondary semi-subconscious once-removed.  
That's why you talk to yourself - or pretend to.  
Admit it - you're not really you, at all, are you?  
In fact, you're not real, are you?  You are watching “you”.  
You are nothing but your alter ego's doppelganger temporarily encased in a piece of warm, wet meat.  
A transient instantiation of a mirrored reflection of some lump of sentience from precisely one, of an infinite number of parallel universes.  

It’s called “conscience”.  

Handle with care.  

You were gifted it for a reason.

Ghost of a Sense

Yes, I know you.
I can feel your presence.
I can touch you, smell you.
I see you not by sight of eye
And yet I ken that you are I
That vespered wraith that writhes within
To test my faith, try my sin
Push the bounds to cause offence
A moral, soul thing, ghost of a sense recalls myself, so well defined
Entrenched, walls behind, built so sound of dust that crowned the pity, falling soft amiss, 
Deep inside the tears I cry as here I find my self-abyss.

Whispers bringing shadows, filled of secrets therein held,
Memories, morose, piece me still, to wear in time, my wasted face.
And now reside, cast aside, to forge and ever meld,
Of haunting, ringing echoes, that will alone their chime erased.

Ah! But you won't twist me, nor bind me fast, to the sandy doctrines of the misty past, 
With its beards and staffs and crinkled testaments.
My future's sprinkled here present with your crass irrelevance and matters not that sat right there, 
The blackest chasm in my simpling world so spare, 
Where space and time have overspilled the leaking psyche of a crippled mind,
That barely copes, unfulfilled, a crooked, limpid moral health of broken shrines
That hopes to find ....
   .......some worthwhile inner self.

Ghost of a Sense ... with Seagull and David Dunham

Drifting Tide (Remix)

yes, i have only been a non-addict for less than a week,
since quitting nicotine candy
but i have compassion for all yous guys
zero addiction i have, not even phone or drug or p*rn or junk food
suddenly i am tall, and alone
it okay
i did not even realize until i was done
that i have got the last one
made with casio keyboard multitrack
(is remix of old song)
zoom h1, and NCH

i am a giant standing on a mountain looking down at the tiny addicted persons

Secret Area

Recorded at home, instruments, lyric, vocals by me.
         
When the sea is rough
and the waves are high 
when I've missed the way
and wandered far
you will guide me through life

You will put my life together again
and walk with me step by step oh yeah

with you in my life 
i will never face my problems alone
i will know victory

This is a remix of a Kathy Freeman original, she kindly gave me the vocals and and guitar to play with :-) I asked Pete https://soundcloud.com/midipunk to add some drums and shakers and Jon https://soundcloud.com/jon-lock-5 to add some bass, he also gave me the Vibes which became part of the overall tone of the mix. (he gave me the vibes... hahahaha, I should have said no tongues :-) )
The artwork is by the fabulous Wou Wou and the Wormling https://www.facebook.com/wouwouandthewormling/ and is in itself a sort of remix of the original tune artwork here:- https://soundcloud.com/mskathyfreeman/03-here-and-now

Once again I need to thank my soundcloud/facebook friends for joining in and making great music for me to play with in the mix :-) 

This track is also for sale on Kathy's Bandcamp, see the buy link cheers - Russ

Watch me…
I dare you
Come on, touch me.
Do I scare you?
Don’t lie to me baby,
cause you don’t know how

Don’t want you now and then
I want you here and now

We might go to heaven
We might go to hell
How much time remaining?
Well who can tell?
Don’t lie to me baby,
cause you don’t know how

Don’t want you now and then oh baby
Don’t want you now and then oh baby
Don’t want you now and then
Want you here and now

Don’t you understand?

Watch me…

Don’t want you now and then oh baby....

Buy me to keep
