you have been a busy bunny. more quality sounds.

Voice is wonderfully clear in the mix, and same for the whole set of instruments. But now i saluted the production, i must say it's worth such sound quality cause the track is huge and deserves it. Weird and Rocking. I love the Iggy Pop vibes in your voice. Stunning

Catchy song! Good thing, too -- you need something to hold onto, if you're falling down... Odin's Crack!

Great rock n roll track mate, love the groove and the lyrics!

Blind Jet

Artists are warriors⚔️of a sort—we feel fear trying to control us yet we continue to create & slay our demons. Inspired by Joan of Arc, The Legend of Zelda, & a personal hero’s journey. I’m excited to share my next #collab! “Do it Anyway” with German-American prog-rockers 12 Below!

Written by Kate Stanton
Arranged and Produced by 12 Below

Look around you
foreign land
a language you don't understand
all alone
take a deep breath
feel it in your soul
you know (you know)
that you know
so
let's take a little journey 
inside ourselves

Do you think the hero feels the same?
but they go and do it anyway.
Do you think the coward feels the same?
much like the hero
does it anyway
just do it anyway

Beneath the cave 
there lies a tool
it's round yet taut
too sharp for fools
focused on the need to finish
wield your weapon low
diminish. Heal.
The threat's got no hold on you
take what you can from her land
she is enough and knows it now
twists the fabric
snaps back in time
Let's take a little journey
outside ourselves

Do you think the hero feels the same?
but they go and do it anyway.
do you think the coward feels the same?
much like the hero
does it anyway
just do it anyway

Do it anyway
Do it anyway...

Do you think the hero feels the same?
but they go and do it anyway.
do you think the coward feels the same?
much like the hero
does it anyway
just do it anyway...

Every once in a while I encounter something that is so well written (and speaks so directly to my heart), the best thing I can do is simply pass it along. This little slice of hopeful wisdom is by Brian Piergrossi (an author/mentor/life coach type of fellow, http://brianpiergrossi.com/; and the poem originally appeared in his book 'The Big Glow'). It was a very lucky internet discovery; and resonates pleasantly with my thinking. I hope it inspires you too. :)

Oh, and before I forget, there’s also a new song to enjoy… ‘In Cognito’, while you read Brian’s delightful message. :D

LOVE IS THE NEW RELIGION (AKA: A SPIRITUAL CONSPIRACY)
On the surface of the world right now there is 
war and violence and things seem dark.
But calmly and quietly, at the same time, 
something else is happening underground
An inner revolution is taking place 
and certain individuals are being called to a higher light.
It is a silent revolution.
From the inside out. From the ground up.
This is a Global operation.
A Spiritual Conspiracy.
There are sleeper cells in every nation on the planet.
You won’t see us on the T.V.
You won’t read about us in the newspaper
You won’t hear about us on the radio
We don't seek any glory
We don't wear any uniform
We come in all shapes and sizes, colors and styles
Most of us work anonymously
We are quietly working behind the scenes 
in every country and culture of the world
Cities big and small, mountains and valleys, 
in farms and villages, tribes and remote islands
You could pass by one of us on the street 
and not even notice
We go undercover
We remain behind the scenes
It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit
But simply that the work gets done
Occasionally we spot each other in the street
We give a quiet nod and continue on our way
During the day many of us pretend we have normal jobs
But behind the false storefront at night 
is where the real work takes a place
Some call us the Conscious Army
We are slowly creating a new world 
with the power of our minds and hearts
We follow, with passion and joy
Our orders come from the Central Spiritual Intelligence
We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no one is looking
Poems ~ Hugs ~ Music ~ Photography ~ Movies ~ Kind words ~
Smiles ~ Meditation and prayer ~ Dance ~ Social activism ~ Websites
Blogs ~ Random acts of kindness...
Releasing grudges, letting go of judgments..
We each express ourselves in our own unique ways
with our own unique gifts and talents
Be the change you want to see in the world
That is the motto that fills our hearts
We know it is the only way real transformation takes place
We know that quietly and humbly we have the 
power of all the oceans combined
Our work is slow and meticulous
Like the formation of mountains
It is not even visible at first glance
And yet with it entire tectonic plates 
shall be moved in the centuries to come
Love is the new religion of the 21st century
You don't have to be a highly educated person
Or have any exceptional knowledge to understand it
It comes from the intelligence of the heart
Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse of all human beings
Be the change you want to see in the world
Nobody else can do it for you
We are now recruiting
Perhaps you will join us
Or already have.
All are welcome
The door is open

WTF! The Musical

In Cognito

Is it a cover?, is it a plagiary?, or just my deep admiration?
I personally want to dedicate it to the brave women who fight, who fall and get up to continue fighting

BRAVE

Walking through the Pyrenees I brought many flowers and some inspiration.

Good morning everyone. While you enjoy my newest song, I have another book I want to share with you; this time purely for fun. The book is titled ‘Moonwalking with Einstein (The Art and Science of Remembering Everything)’ by Joshua Foer, and it’s an intriguing exploration into how our memory works, and how it can be life hacked.

For those who haven’t encountered the idea, I first discovered the term ‘Mind Palace’ in the new Sherlock series (with Benedict Cumberbatch). At first I assumed it was a clever way to further the story along; showing us Sherlock’s miraculous mental powers, and his ability to explore and revisit locations from his memories. But after reading this book, I’m happy to say the Mind Palace is a real thing; and it really works. :D

So if you ever find yourself needing to remember a long list of items , but you lack paper and pencil (or the ability to take notes on your smart phone, because you’re trapped in the distant past without your charging cables)… here’s how you do it…

First, you need a location that is very familiar to you. In my case, I chose my house and garage. 

Second, imagine a path traversed through that location. I chose to imagine the moment I pull into the garage after a day at work; and the walk I would take leading into the house and up to our master bedroom.

Third, imagine those items in your path, discovered along your intended route (and here’s the fun part… the sillier you can make the object, the easier it is to remember. An apple is just an apple, but an apple with a baby bonnet on it really stands out in your memory).

So as an example, I want to remember a grocery list that includes apples, milk, a bag of flour, gum, a protein shake, etc. In my imagination, I step out of my car to discover a basket full of apples wearing baby bonnets on the table by the garage door. I then proceed through the garage door to discover a cow holding a container of milk, smiling at me. Then I make my way to the back door of the house, and am hit with an exploding cloud of flour as I open the door. Now covered in flour, I make my way into the kitchen and discover lawn gnomes sitting at the table, chewing gum and blowing bubbles. Walking past them, I find a muscular squirrel pumping iron with one hand, drinking a protein drink with the other. And it goes on and on from there. 

Just to give you an idea how effective this technique is, Cheer and I were easily able to recall about 25 things… in the correct order (and we’re talking concepts as well as objects) while experimenting with this little memory game. That is mind blowing to consider; and it’s amazingly easy once you get the routine down. 

So there you go; a new mental acuity game you can play with friends and family. And it’s just one of several concepts shared in this book (which also includes techniques for memorizing sequences of numbers, or a poem, or the stacking order of a deck of cards, etc.). I had a lot of fun experimenting with these tricks and techniques, and I still practice some of them from time to time. I hope you find the concept intriguing as well. And I hope you enjoyed my latest musical offering ‘The Secret World Inside My Blanket Fort’ while you expanded your brain’s capabilities. :)

Lyrics 

I need to start a new life 
to see something else 
to see other people 
a different landscape 
a breath of life

sun in the fields 
sun for the vine 
grapes on the vine 
juice and wine for sweetness 
deep colors

psychedelic colors 
purple sky and blue clouds 
thunderstorms and warm rain 
sheep whose wool looks like clouds 
dancing animals with deep colors

between the earth and the sky 
colors as far as the eye can see 
need for deep colors 
deep colors in which to get lost 
to become one 
My life in pink

you need colors (backing voices)


Thanks for listening and comments.

Paco.

Binary Emotion

This is a rework of an old track. I wanted to make parts of it a little more upbeat and also add some orchestral elements. 
A little nod to the last UK bank holiday before the 'C' word (I'm not saying it yet!!) and the end of summer 2023.

Free download if you like it.

Thank you for listening 💛
