Imagine a beautiful moment on the beach, the seagulls flying around you, the sea gently rushing, and you let your thoughts fly, completely relaxed, far away from the stress of everyday life. Nice image? Then just take a listen.

The Ego

This one was originally inspired by a song by Ocie and Elliot who are a male-female duo and both singers. In one of their songs the female vocal harmonises over the male main vocal all the way through the song. I really wanted to try that too.
This is a duet.... my first duet. Mark 'doesn't sing' but here is this song! And for this one, Mark wrote the lyrics, also a very rare event.
Enjoy!

Into the Deep Blue

■概要(Overview)
あ～今日も楽器のお稽古に疲れちゃったわ～
左手が上手く動かないのよね～関係ないけどお腹空いたし
パン屋に寄って帰ろう
あ、そうだ、左手にトングを持って左手の練習してみようかな
え～っと、ドーナツは・・あっ、でも今日はチョココロネが食べたい気分
・・はっ！・・視線を感じる・・ドーナツの！
------------------
・・・・そんな事を想像して作った曲です。

Ah, I'm tired from practicing my instrument today too.
My left hand isn't working properly. It doesn't matter, but I'm hungry.
Let's go to the bakery and go home.
Ah, that's right, I think I'll try holding the tongs in my left hand and practice my left hand.
Um, donuts... ah, but today I feel like eating chocolate coronet.
...Ha! ...I feel the gaze...of the donut!
---------------------------
...This is a song I created while imagining something like that.

■歌詞
「いらっしゃいませ！」
パン屋に寄ったの帰り道
クルミパンとチョココロネ
ああ　ドーナツを選ばなかった

それでもやっぱり気になって
チラッと横目で見てしまう
綺麗に並んだドーナツが
悲しそうだ

笑顔にするため
生まれてきたのに
通り過ぎるなんて
出来なくなっていた

♪♪♪(あなたの事を待っていた)♪♪♪

左利きのふりして(優しい手で今)
トレーにのせた
震える手で落とさないように

自分でもわからない
そんなこと
くだらないよ
見せかけだよ
偽善的だよ
自分に酔ってさ
(あなたが決めた事)

もしも私がこのドーナツを
手に取らなかったら
そして気まぐれを起こさなかったら
おやつ食べた天使の笑顔
見れたかもしれないのに


毎週買ってたドーナツ
たまには食べたいチョココロネ
ああ　誘惑に　負けてしまった

心の声：「それなら一緒に買っちゃいな」
心の声：「甘いものならばいくらでも食べきれるはずよ」
心の声：「迷いは不要よ」

♪♪♪(あなたの笑顔見れるかな)♪♪♪
♪♪♪

優柔不断で風見鶏
煮え切らないの　それって・・駄目ね
曇った心で純粋なあなたの気持ちを
ふざけた左手で触って壊した
天使の笑顔が見れたはずなのに

「無意味」なだけじゃなくて
「有害な存在」であると気付いた

♪♪♪♪♪♪

(甘い誘惑ね・・)
(正解は無いわ)
(あなたの思うままでいいはずよ)

何も望むものは無いわ
ドーナツが寂しそうだったから・・

もしも私がこのドーナツを
手に取らなかったら
そして気まぐれを起こさなかったら
おやつ食べた天使の笑顔
見れたかもしれないのに


(私たちには選択権が無いの)
(あなたは恵まれた環境にいるくせに・・)
(公園のベンチの真ん中に座って)
(ひじ掛けに左手を置いて)
(遠くの空を眺めながら)
(ため息をつく)
(そうやってかじった一口目の私はさぞかし甘いでしょうね)
(二口、三口と食べ続けて)
(最後の一口を食べ終える頃)
(あなたはすっかり忘れているはずよ)
(私たちの事を)
(まるで初めから存在しなかったかのように)

子供：「お母さん、ドーナツ食べたいよ」
母親：「さっき笹団子食べたばっかりでしょ」
子供：「えーっ、もっと、もっとー！」
母親：「いい加減にしてちょうだい」

(・・・いらっしゃいませ！)

■Lyrics
"welcome!"
On the way home from a stop at the bakery
Walnut bread and chocolate coronet
Oh she didn't choose donuts

Still, I'm still curious
I glance sideways
Donuts lined up neatly
Looks sad

to make people smile
was born
Thinking like that, I can't just pass by
could not


♪♪♪(I was waiting for you)♪♪♪

Pretending to be left-handed (with gentle hands now)
I put it on the tray
I was careful not to drop it with my trembling hands.

I don't even know myself
Such a thing
It's trivial
It's just a sham
That's hypocritical
get drunk on yourself
(That's your decision)

If I didn't put this donut on the tray
And if I don't cause a whim
The smile of an angel who ate a snack
they could have seen

Donuts I bought every week
Chocolate corone that I want to eat once in a while
Ah, I gave in to temptation.

Voice in my heart: “Then let’s buy it together.”
Inner voice: "If it's sweet, I'm sure I can eat as much as I want."
Voice in my heart: “There’s no need to hesitate.”

♪♪♪(Can I see your smile)♪♪♪
♪♪♪

Weathervane with indecision
My heart doesn't boil over. That's no good.
With a clouded heart, your pure feelings
I playfully touched it with my left hand and broke it.
I should have seen the smile of an angel

Not just “pointless”
I realized that I was a “harmful presence”

♪♪♪♪♪♪

(Sweet temptation...)
(There is no correct answer)
(It should be whatever you want)

There's nothing I want
However, I thought Donut looked lonely...

If I didn't put this donut on the tray
And if I don't cause a whim
The smile of an angel who ate a snack
they could have seen

(We don't have a choice)
(Even though you are in a privileged environment...)
(You're sitting in the middle of a park bench)
(You put your left hand on the armrest)
(While you look at the distant sky)
(You sigh)
(The taste of your first bite of mine will be really sweet.)
(Keep eating two and three bites)
(By the time you finish your last bite)
(You must have completely forgotten)
(about us)
(As if it never existed in the first place)

Child: "Mom, I want to eat donuts."
Mother: “You just ate bamboo dumplings, right?”
Child: “Eh, more, more!”
Mother: “Please take it easy.”

(···welcome!)

Irasshaimase!(Welcome!)

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
