Power Of Sorrow

 Russians says "There' s no Ukraine, it shouldn't exist"...  I'm Ukrainian and I'm proud of it. My country do exists as well as my music. No one in the world has no right and power to make such statements about any nation. They drew their fascist sign "Z" with blood of Ukrainian children. If you support Russian aggression against Ukraine you've got that bloody sign on your forehead. The God is to judge you...

Putin you are a killer!!!!!!

STOP WAR!

It is not a revolution
Nor a solution
It is mental confinement
A social purge, they say…
A clash of non-senses
It is war!
Fighting for a cause, without an applause, planting blood
Of lost generations, swallowed by war!
Fighting with no cause, with an applause, spilling blood
For the speechless generations in the aftermath!
Political lies
Seeking a Nobel Prize
With murdering peace, 
Wiping non-believers
A state of involution
It is war!
Fighting for a cause, without an applause, planting blood
Of lost generations, swallowed by war!
Fighting with no cause, with an applause, spilling blood
For the speechless generations in the aftermath!
War is not the key to my heart
War is a hole in my dreams
War is like a fly in my milk
War is a kick in my ass!
Stop the wars!
It is not a revolution, nor a solution, it is mental confinement
A social purge, a clash of non-senses, political lies seeking a Nobel Prize
With murdering peace, wiping non-believers, a state of involution
It is war!
War is not the key to my heart
War is a kick in my ass!
War, war, war, war, war, war, war
Stop wars!

STOP WAR (ALFONSO LLORENTE)

SUNDAY RAIN

This old song is my first version that "AcidFlashback" was remixed from >> https://soundcloud.com/martyn-r-jacobson/acid-flashback <<

In this song I played with the "SonicFoundry AcidPro" tutorial to make a song on it's DAW (Like shorting the name to "Acid" - hehehe)

SonicFoundry said the loops on the CD are royalty-free, I saw nothing excluding their Acid tutorial - hehehe

(Written by Terry Reeves)

I have been trying to play the guitar since the early 70s but even after all this time still don’t think I’m really good enough to actually call myself a guitarist.  I was lucky that there were always guitars laying around the family house and could therefore pick one up any time I wanted and strum away to myself.  Having two older brothers who were semi-pro musicians was also a big encouragement and I used to love going down to see them rehearsing with the band they were in at the time, developing a yearning to join them, whilst never believing it would actually happen.

When I moved into a place of my own, my brother Bri gifted me one of his guitars so that I could play any time I wanted.  I can’t actually remember when it occurred to me that I was actually starting to write my own songs but as I continued to play,  pleasing chord structures just seemed to emerge and I started to sing along.  Eventually, I wrote down some lyrics and gave each piece a title. It became a kind of therapy, channelling a lot of my personal and political frustrations into song but keeping it all to myself.  Fear of rejection ruled my thinking for some time.

That I managed to overcome that, tentatively recording a few songs onto cassette and sending them to Bri & Gal turned out to be one of the best things I ever did.  I’ll never forget them calling to say they thought the songs were great and that we must get together to rehearse and record them. 

So that’s how Root Division became an actual band.  We drafted in John Palmer, who had played bass in the band I used to see rehearse all those years before and soon after, there we all were in my living room, recording my songs onto Bri's four track reel-to-reel machine.  It all seems pretty stone-age now but it sounded bloody great to me.  

Those first sessions were recorded in a house on the edge of a school playing field (I was the groundsman) so we could make as much noise as we liked.  Later on, we gravitated to the attic of a house Bri was sharing, going on to record 13 songs and having a blast in the process.  The memories I have of those days still loom large in the memory.  Days full of wild ideas and even wilder laughs.  Days I will never forget.

In all the nostalgia of yesteryear, we mustn’t forget Hans Albers, who has once again produced another brilliant arrangement.  I cannot ever thank him enough for everything he brings to these songs.  Thanks to you all for listening.  Your encouragement means everything.  (Terry Reeves)

Head in the clouds nowhere to go
Empty room with guitar solo show
Playing demo of songs for reaction
Cathartic moments, hidden rejection

Searching for a root division (Dividing dreams, finding truth)
Searching for a root division (Concerts in telephone booths)

Expressive words tried to be taken
Spying musical notes not unshaken
Hopeful moves toward a joint decision
Holidays end in disappointing collision

Searching for a root division  (Dividing dream, avoiding life)
Searching for a root division  (Cutting sharp, use surgical knife)

Writing words with a political slant
Separation of four directional plants
Playing music with family heroes 
No thought of ending with ‘Another Zero’

Searching for a root division (Dividing dream, avoiding truth) 
Searching for a root division (Finding time, a musical sleuth)

(Never expected my brothers to call...)
Searching for a root division (repeat)
 
Live band recording reel to reel tape
Buzzing feeling with a chance to escape 
Start to finish our music engagement 
All on my own to a foursome arrangement

Searching for a root division (Dividing dreams, avoiding truth) 
Searching for a root division (Keeping time all under one roof)

(It’s time to get the band out of bed…"Come on John!")     
Searching for a root division… (Repeat to end)

SEARCHING FOR A ROOT DIVISION - Cripple Club & Hans Albers

＊This work was made by overdubbing my guitar performance to Ray's work "Excuse Me".Thank you Ray for accepting my request.
------------------------------
Ray ---- Excuse Me
https://soundcloud.com/in-the-mood-for-music/excuse-me
------------------------------
＊Below is from Ray's original description.

ーーA slow and melancholic song, hope you like it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82n6jeKPRo0
Facts about this Track:
Idea, Arrangment, Audio-Editing and Midi-Programming, Guitar playing, Mixing and Mastering by Ray
Vocals: Audio-Samplesーー

------------------------------
＊By the way, it's Ray, not me, who makes the chord backing that takes the rhythm with the wah pedal, the thick chord stroke with the flanger, and the pick scratch that rubs the wound strings with the pick.  Please listen to Ray's work and check it out.  From the beginning, Ray brought a sound that wasn't normally "suitable" for this piece.  The charm of this free and open work is exactly what Ray created.
------------------------------
Over the last few months, we have been exposed to a lot of media coverage. A man who lived and worked with his family in Poland returned to his hometown of Lviv with his family. "I can't stand to see the destroyed city anymore. I want to regain the beautiful Ukraine," he said. "It's a beautiful country, Ukraine," said one woman proudly. She said, "It has been destroyed and polluted, but we will definitely regain beautiful Ukraine."

When the Ukrainian people talk about "Ukraine, a beautiful country", there is a vast sky and land. As I watch the news of the tragedy, I find that we are more encouraged by the strength of the people who are ready to rebuild the country.

Initially, I was planning to work on another work by Ray, but when I listened to this song again, I noticed that "the sky" appeared in the refrain part. I know the lyrics of this piece deal with a different theme, but as I hummed the refrain, I felt that it could be a "fighting song" for me to move forward with the Ukrainian people. .. The target of support is the Ukrainian people, and I myself. I secretly thought that I wanted to make it one of the "cheer songs" for everyone, who are struck by this unreasonable invasion. And I decided to put my guitar on this song.

------------------------------
In addition, "Lillithe / Paploviante", including the sound source that Ray seems to have used in this work, should be called our great pioneer in that field as well. They have produced a huge collection of works using Vocals' Audio-Samples as the theme. At that time, I would like to note that they are experts who have mastered the source and lyrics of Samples by clearly stating them each time. The creators who inherit the method will be able to learn from the various usages of Samples to the usage rules by keeping in mind the reference of the works they have accumulated. It will be a great ally for each successor as they open up the future beyond SoundCloud.

Their enormous collection of works teaches us a lot. I would like to express my deep gratitude to them again for that.

The Month Of May

That’s All
I’m drowning in the pool of life 
feeling the depth there’s no help insight 
my only choice is move towards the light
holding my breath will that make things right 
I don’t know but I have to fight 
I don’t know but I have to fight 

is it a dream —-will someone wake me 
silently scream —-it’s driving me crazy 

I’m over my head and I’m soaking wet 
I do believe that I’m out of my depth
I’m over my head and I’m soaking wet 
over my head
over my head

That's All

One of my works recorded in my "previous" life before the war. Sometimes we feel tiny and lonely in the Universal. Lately I feel tiny and helpless facing the horrors of the war in my country...

Lyrics:
See the southern cross, my little love?
Trace the shapes in the galaxy above
Tiny lights in the sky
Distant giant fires
Time will pass, and the stars will age
And my love for you will never fade
Never fade away.
No matter where, why, how far you fly
I’ll be by your side like a constellation
A constellation in the night sky
See the southern cross, my little love?
Trace the shapes in the darkness above
Burning bright in the sky
Distant giant fires
Time will pass, and the stars will age
And my love for you will never, never fade away

Lyrics-
When I was a younger lad I was bold
And jumped head first
Never thinking of the consequences 
I always quenched that thirst

I didn't ever turn around to see where I had been
Just kept on diving in the deep blue sea of mystery

With such a pure, pure heart
Never meaning any harm
I learned my lessons well
Even though I seemed to take my time about it

The memories
Come flooding back of my mistakes
And suddenly
I'm blushing and I can not hide 
The way I feel it
The distant past
Has led to where I am now
A different path
Has opened up before my very eyes
I travel on

I didn't understand how life and this whole
Damned system worked
Just carried on my own sweet way
Till I found out it's reversed

Was such an innocent time
All that playing in the sunshine
Was I so happy then
Being in the dark about the things I know now ?

The memories
Come flooding back of my mistakes
And suddenly
I'm blushing and I can not hide 
The way I feel it
The distant past
Has led to where I am now
A different path
Has opened up before my very eyes
I travel on

I didn't ever turn around to see where I had been
Just kept on diving in the deep blue sea of mystery

The memories
Come flooding back of my mistakes
And suddenly
I'm blushing and I can not hide 
The way I feel it
The distant past
Has led to where I am now
A different path
Has opened up before my very eyes
I travel on

I go to visit this track and thank you toward all which he/she stops and heard. Please listen in headphones.
A connection of the blood. A bond. 
I feel that the connection of the blood has nothing to do with loving people. 
What decides the relationship with another person?
All people want you to connect by this earth. No, all the things existing in all space.

For me, getting older has certainly had some advantages, one of them being the ability to take on life's pressures without continually worrying about what is coming along next.

Being seen as the “Wise Old Man" in the family (you know, the one in the comfy chair closest to the TV in the living room), my sons, daughter, nieces and nephews will often plonk themselves down on the seat next to me and disclose their personal problems.  Much though I’d like to pretend otherwise, I rarely have any useful advice to volunteer, the reality being that I offer little more than a sympathetic ear.  That they trust me enough to take me into their confidence is nonetheless most flattering, the reason most likely being that I’m neither judgemental nor threatening and most importantly can be trusted to keep what I’m told entirely to myself.

This song was written after one of these tête-à-tête’s, one in which there was absolutely nothing I could do to change the situation and could only empathise, say that they need never feel they were on their own and affirm I’d always be there for them whenever the need arose.  All the same, I did find myself wishing I could have been of greater help.  I truly did feel blue for them.  

Life can be a sod of a thing sometimes.  When that happens, what else is there to do but write a song about it?   (Terry Reeves)    
 

A glass on the table, half full a distance away
Feeling thirsty and dry so unreachable today
Closer tomorrow but might drain to half empty
Distance unchanged my thirst remains plenty

Feeling so blue for you
Really blue for you

I’ve stood in the forest heard whispers of lies
Every leaf falling past, covers a layer of spies
Try hiding from truth, planet can never disguise
Face stays in the shadows screaming silent cries 

Feeling blue for you
Really blue for you

Look out of the window reflections inside my head
Reversing a vision giving sight to those who bled
The slaughter of life has reduced the time earned
Loving life not chewing death the option unfurled

Feeling blue for you
Really blue for you

I will answer questions if you ask with a smile
I may travel a distance over one million miles
Moving is never a picture puzzles of reasons
Hoping to find missing piece to help mental lesions

Feeling blue for you
Really blue for you

Vocals: Ghosthack https://www.ghosthack.de
Lyrics:
I wear a thousand scars
Cover them up so you don't see beyond the mask
My worlds a dying star
Falling for you has buried me in smoke and ash
In smoke and ash
Take me to the ending of the story
I'll see you in the morning when I wake
Save me from the storm inside my bones
The fear of living on my own
I'm all alone

I'm All Alone - Paploviante

This is another track that started with a quirky volca drum beat. This time most of the melodic layers were made with Korg Module, and virtual synths from Moog including the Model 15 and the Model D. I also used a variety of other soft synths and a little bit of the Minilogue XD.

Cyber City

This song has 5 parts and is based on the on Greek mythology of Icarus, my version has a hollywood ending : )

1. IMPRISONED
When the king turned against Daedalus and imprisoned him, Daedalus secretly made wings for himself and his son Icarus, intending to escape Crete for Sicily.

2. THE ESCAPE
Icarus and Daedalus attempt to escape from Crete by means of wings that Daedalus constructed from feathers and wax. Daedalus warns Icarus first of complacency and then of hubris, instructing him to fly neither too low nor too high, lest the sea's dampness clog his wings or the sun's heat melt them. Icarus ignores Daedalus’s instructions not to fly too close to the sun, causing the wax in his wings to melt.

3. THE FALL
Icarus falls out of the sky, plunges into the sea, and drowns.

4. UNDERWATER
Icarus is underwater and dead but is back alive with the ability to breathe underwater. 

5. FINAL DESTINATION
Icarus swims up to the water surface and flies again and this time without any wings.  Icarus is approaching Sicily which is the final destination.

If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me
That made it die inside of me
If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me
That made it die inside of me
----------------------------------------------------
Hold out, it's running down my back
What I stand for in myself, I'm feeling under attack
On the edge now, on the edge now
Shut down, the peace inside of me
Inner self is all but here, it's not a pleasant scene
You see now? You see now
----------------------------------------------------
Drifting, further out
Away from your vibes that you're putting out
The bad energy, it flows
Stuck out in the storm
Caught in the rampage that you have poured on
Me now, me now
----------------------------------------------------
If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me
That made it die inside of me
If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me
That made it die inside of me
----------------------------------------------------
Prides gone from the way
You always beat me down and you do it again
I said high strung, the games you play
I always get back up just to do it again
----------------------------------------------------
Now I'm seeking solace
Inner thoughts, provoking words, I need some self defense
Secure, how? Secure, how?
Tasteless, the way you do me wrong
In myself, I'm all but here, oh yeah, I'm fucking gone
A ghost cloud, a ghost cloud
----------------------------------------------------
Drifting, further out
Away from your vibes that you're putting out
The bad energy, it flows

If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me

Prides gone from the way
You always beat me down and you do it again

Ancient Egypt, land of great mystery, culture and achievements..
Land of Ra...
Ra is the Egyptian word for 'sun'. As a solar deity, Ra embodied the power of the sun but was also thought to be the sun itself, envisioned as the great god riding in his barge across the heavens throughout the day and descending into the underworld at sunset.
My ode to that great civilization and the Sun  responsible for all life on this planet..

A special thank you to Pamela Illanes, (https://soundcloud.com/user-315009621), a wonderful composer that even had her own work played by a real orchestra, early on during my writing I struggled with writers block for almost 2 weeks, one night we engaged in a conversation and Pam was very helpful, she gave me the patience and strength I needed at the time, writers block really gets to me. Its wonderful when artists help each other and I am very lucky to have her as a friend.

Silver smile, nothing dearer

Stay a while, please just give me today
I am saving these moments away
For in times to come when I need you near
I'll remember your words so clear
And take this parting thought with you my friend
When tears are clouding those eyes of blue,
Picture my face smiling right at you
To help melt the ice that you're hacking through

Silver style, witchery in motion
Silver mind, staunch devotion

Stay a while, please just give me today
I am saving these moments away
For in times to come when I need you near
I'll remember the hugs and tears
And take this parting thought with you my friend
When life is teeming with stupid clowns
Hear my voice saying it's ok now
I'll help melt the ice that you're breaking down
