I have been listening to your tracks lately and they are all top shelf

pazdrawljájoe was Tavaric ; ) Great play & ambience !

@user-138663860: Thank you for loving this one!!)

I loved this from the first trembling note,through the muted guitar tones and swells,the soaring sustained runs,to the melodic,tasteful conclusion. Masterful work Sergey.

This song is about political predation I started to see, beginning in the US, around 2000. It got far worse, in my estimation, around 2010. It's a song I had bouncing around in my cluttered mind for years, but never actually sat down and flushed out until 2010. Or so? I dunno. The final lines "don't place blind faith in black snake politicians" is an overt reference to fossil fuel corporations, their corrupt relationships with politicians in the US and abroad, and corporate capture of the US government. I got the idea from the indigenous legend "Prophesy of the black snake." Pipelines and oil trains, the visible signs as literal power is amassed and America literally divided. Americans, literally divided. Political power isn't as easy to see, but t's just as destructive. More so.

at any cost

they will prey upon your sympathy
they will tear our bands apart
and they will break your back, your will, your brain
so they can take whatever they can gain

they'll see you dead to keep in power
you're just opposition to devour
why are you loyal to the cowards?
sweet liberty turned bitter, sour

is that the cost? (x3)
is that too high?
too high now

it doesn't matter much what happened here today
cause if it don't make the cover page...
they want you to forget the things they did and said
so they can do it all again another day

when blood is spilled for their desire
and they have all that they require
they'll tell you "freedom's cost" is higher
take honest words back from the liars

is that the cost? (x3)
is that too high?
too high now

don't place blind faith in black snake politicians
they'll make you so afraid, can't even pay, pay attention

Morning Thoughts

I have always wanted to make a rap metal track with Heartscore so I was super excited when he reached out with this banging hip-hop metal fusion production. The lyrics are inspired behind the Hawaiian legend of Nanaue the Shark Man. I have some Hawaiian blood in me, so I figured I would rock it, lol! I am super blessed to still be working on music with my friend Heartscore. 

Massive thanks to Bitzone for coming through in the clutch with the dope vocal mix and final master. And huge thanks to Wou-Wou for the incredible song art making us look real stylish and professional!

Lyrics
Holy crap what is that growing on his back 
13 racks of teeth and I’m talking plaque 
Gaping wide open ready to snack 
Fish mouth on the prowl hidden under a wrap 
Musta known we were talkin’ smack 
We were all staring at him when he turned and glared back 
With those black mirror eyes 
Caught by surprise after many moons of lies
Horrors and cries rise to despise
It’s the demise of the shark man 

It’s the shark man

Say what he was cut from the cloth of a god
I swear there must have been lust in the brine and guts 
All up in that shapeshifters mind 
Yup, we all thought it was odd how he kept swimming back
As blood washed ashore he walked away from the gore
On that sea wrack 
Still thirsty for more flesh, meat, and albacore
Once he walked through that door he couldn’t forbore
The horror arise
It’s the demise of the shark man  

It’s the shark man

God damn, like spam, he devoured a man
Tore apart flesh like peeling back the lid of can
Never satiated since his first feast of ham, rack of lamb, and that stan favorite prickly pin clam
Ever since then his appetite grew he knew 
He couldn’t hold back desire when in that salty stew
True to his shapeshifting form 
He was born to find ecstasy when warm flesh eating transformed    
So we swarmed up on him on that afternoon
Harpoons flew through the skies 
Clubs fell till he died 
His body was tied 
Divided in pieces ’n 
Hung till it dried
Fired and fried 
It’s the demise of the shark man 

It’s the shark man

I Just wanted a get taste 
Na, I just wanted to be in the chase
Na, I just got the feel of the race
No stoppin’ until I get shit face
No stoppin’ until I’m laying in my waste
No stoppin’ until everyone’s disgraced  

It’s the shark man

First we gave you life, despite divine insight 
Again invite past blight, our name, the Gods will smite

It’s the shark man

And for that you still kill, we’re cursed until 
We split your gills and your blood is spilled

It’s the shark man

I’ve seen the depths 
I’ve swam the deep and sunk forever 
Each time I swim back to shallow shores I’m gonna drown
And when I see the light 
I seek shadows and sense the hunger
After seizing my fill I sink back up 
High in the depths 

From the frenzy comes
The shark man
Yea
When you smell blood
Here comes the shark man

How many times 
Been made to hide my teeth for your love 
How much can man be measured by his will to stand on ground
I’ve made my enemy my desire for the flesh 
Turned my back on my shiver I sink back up
High in the depths

From the frenzy of the kill
It’s the shark man
Yea
When you smell blood
It’s the shark man

Lyrics:
I developed a magnetic field containment for the fusion of my emotional particles, and, in the intense delusion of ancient fables and forgotten prayers, I eluded the chaotic viscosity of my life.
The magnetic fragrance of hyperbolic equations forged the golden restraints that ties my astral body to the marble of the altar.
For the Dark Blade of Abstraction fought many wars to achieve His purest journey on the sands of eternity, far from the purple desires and the lust of blood, freed from the sensual tyranny of His Lord. 
I saw twelve Orc Female Warriors carry the swords of remorse and procrastination. Their iron boots crushed the shattered relics of my lost memories. They surrounded the altar and I gazed to my astral double through their lusty eyes. 
O Dark Blade of Abstraction, Your lingering words reverberate in my spine and electrify my sweaty shimmering skin. Your geometrical desire entered my heart long before the swords of remorse. 
The beauty of Your uncanny theorems liquefies the altar, melts my astral body into the ocean of pleasure, merges my senses with the fury of the Orc Warriors, connects my superconductive synapses to the heart of unknown galaxies.   
And I swim in the amniotic fluid of a pulsar. The echoes of my orgasms interfere with the counterpoint of a forgotten fugue. The fragrance of the Orcs’ sweat vanishes in the colourless vibration of time and space. Overwhelmed by the tide of geometrical poetry, I open my thighs to the lust of the music, and feel the ominous chords liquefy the focal centre of my desire. 
And I drink the wine of bliss and oblivion from the cup of Your fractal memories. And I kiss Your marble lips on the shore of eternity, Your quicksilver belly against my polyurethane skin.

Happy Piano Day!

Impressionist piece inspired by the experience of free diving--wandering and peaceful with a tinge of anxiety in the back of the mind.

Some musical elements are borrowed from my album "Seven Dreams of the Orb Weaver" https://soundcloud.com/skai-eriksson/sets/seven-dreams-of-the-orb-weaver.

Some inspiration from Debussy may be heard in the shifting tonal center and more overtly with the pentatonic runs.

To convey the irregular undulations of the sea and the uneven activity level of freediving I fully indulged in tempo rubato--I think I ended up with tempo rubato e rotto :-)

HyLGZ22 let me kindly play with one of his old tracks, I'm really fond of. I hope you will enjoy it !

Dimanche 16h, Le Soleil Revient (HyLGZ22 - Remix Damga)

The title and middle chorus (the only lyrics in the song) came from the fact that after recording, i felt it needed another section, like a bridge, but got too lazy to find something to fit. Thus the line “I can’t find the bridge to New Funk City”. 

Still can’t find it.   ;O)

This can probably be considered the 3rd in a trilogy of tracks created almost entirely with short loops and sound samples in Garageband ('Dark Roast', and 'Sneaky Reggae' are the other 2).
***Warning: your toezies might get sore from all the tapping they’ll be doing.


lyrics / chorus:
"Everybody tells me I got to go
but I can't find the bridge to New Funk City"

Tequila
He takes a sip and lets it gnaw
On dreams that never will take form
He's slippin' away

Morning light
The new day ends another night
Of nothing but another fight
That takes him away

He never knows the plans he should make
Or chances that his heart wants to take
He's heard it all before 
But not anymore
It's slippn' away

No reply
His efforts never get him by
So baby don't you even try
He's slippn' away

Sweet Charlotte
He gives it everything he's got
Then orders them another shot
She turns him away

He never knows the plans he should make
Or chances that his heart wants to take
He's heard it all before 
But not anymore
It's driftin’ away

Albatross 
It's like a train you can't get off
He's sees the stop but not the cost
Of slippin’ away

Slippin' Away
