 ( I don’t Care )

You’re once clear mind is now diseased   
full of holes like Swiss cheese
You think your every thing your not  
you dress the part , but that’s all you got.

I’m not Impressed
I don’t care
No I don’t
I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care anymore

Suits & ties manipulating lives
Power & greed will be your demise
Sold your soul for an off shore bank account
full of fools gold..

Your trapped inside
An endless maze
You can’t get out
You Lost your way
You can’t get out
 You Lost your way
Your trapped inside
An endless maze
You can’t get out
You Lost your way
You can’t get out
 You Lost your way

I Don't Care

Mark says: In the music Manuel kindly offered me, I could clearly hear historic military conflict and I felt it was important that the lyrical theme resonated with us both. I had often visited the Canary Island of La Gomera and couldn’t escape the history of the Guanches, nor ignore the powerful beauty of the mountain, La Fortaleza de Chipude. Manuel has been such an enthusiastic partner in this project with an imaginative and energetic approach that left me in awe.

Manuel says: Mark and I decided to sing together after I arranged his acapella voice within his open collab “The Parting Glass” last springtime. I was working with strong but abstract inspiration at that moment, and shared some ideas with him. Step by step, and with help from his epic lyrics, the track got shape with a non-stop brainstorming. Now, we’re proud to post this work together, no doubt the one on which I’ve worked (and enjoyed) the most by now. May you feel disoriented, most perhaps in 11/8 instrumental parts, just grab the bass line to a safer ride along ;)

=[ Narrator’s Prologue ]=

Los Guanches, 
Proud Atlantean people,
Safe in their utopia,
For millennia,
In their island paradise. 
Little did they know,
What would await them,
And what their fate, would be…

=[ Song ]=

Conquistadores came,
And across the barranco,
The alarm was raised,
In whistling form.
Fiercely defiant,
Protecting our sacred ways,
Ambushing the foe,
With advantage of terrain.

La Fortaleza, 
Our mountain is our strength,
And our place of sacrifice.

The mountain is our strength, 
And will be our retreat
Our culture may be gone
Save for the whistling. 
Throughout the valleys,
Our bloodline survives 
The mountain is our strength,
And will be our last stand.

La Fortaleza, 
Our mountain is our strength,
And our place of sacrifice.

The mountain, our only hope,
And our last refuge
Facing our final battle
With only rocks and sticks
Our blood now flows
Down the barranco
The mountain once our strength,
Now, our fitting end.

=[ Epilogue ]=

When a stronghold,
Becomes a foothold,
The only hold out,
Nothing left to hold, 
All will fold, fold, fold, fold…

La Fortaleza (with Markjbennett)

Maybe with you

Knock, knock, knock on the wall
I´m afraid of what might happen, happen if it falls
Isn´t that funny?
Or even ridiculous?
You could say even: „Honey, this is truly messed up.“
You´re right, my love, my light. 

Well, so maybe with you?
But maybe with you?
You could  take this away
You pound on that wall until it crumbles.
Say it´s ok. 
Gonna hold me when I tumble.
Maybe with you?

A crack, a crack
and everything crumbles ...

Every day you came with a little hammer
Every day you´d knock on my door.
Every day you came an I´d hear you kick, kick, kick.
Every day you´d work that brick.

`Cause maybe with you
I can feel the world go round, see treasures found
Yeah, maybe with you
I can see it all upside down an wear half a crown
Yeah maybe with you
You´ll stop the jumble,
I´ll see the wall crumble.

Maybe with you I can jump this fence
Maybe with you my heart will start to dance
So maybe with you?

A crack, a crack, time to stand back.

KidOfEarth & She's Excited! - Maybe With You

Evocative song to listen to without hurry... most serious job I've done lately, say no more.

Letra / Translated lyrics:

SI TÚ ME FALTARAS  /  IF I MISSED YOU

Abre tu risa mis ojos,  /  Your laugh opens my eyes,
olor a café por la mañana…  /  smell of coffee in the morning…
Para murmurarte un beso  /  So as to whisper you a kiss
me levanto de la cama.  /  I get up from the bed.

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

Me despierta muy temprano  /  Wakes me up very early
el olor de tu cuerpo a mi lado.  /  the smell of your body beside me.
Para que se haga de noche pronto  /  So that it gets dark soon
rápidamente me he levantado.  /  I have got up fast.

Siento que mi vida se desliza por el sabor tan suave de tu cuello y de tus besos.  /
I feel my life slips along such a soft flavor of your neck and your kisses.

Puedo ser ligero como el aire y filtrarme con mi fuego en tus sueños y en tus deseos.  /
I can be as light as air and percolate with my fire into your dreams and your desires.

Busco el momento cada día de volver para gozarte, para olerte, para amarte…  /
I look for the moment every day to come back so as to enjoy you, to smell you, to love you … 

para amarte, sí, aaaay! para amarte.  /  to love you, yes, aaaay! to love you.

Juega tu lengua en mi cerebro,  /  Your tonge plays in my brain,
recorren mi espalda tus caricias.  /  your caresses cross my back.
Miro el reloj y suspiro,  /  I look at the clock and sigh,
deseando que acabe el día.  /  wishing the day to finish. 

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

I won't fail, let it lay within,
Mornings dew rests gently, upon the valleys green,
Carry forth the dream that's shaded scenes, to somewhere, you've never been,
World's wonderland,
Wonderland.
Through a child's eyes, in a minds eye,,
Time to take you on through,
So wistfully, mornings dew rests gently,
Upont the valleys green,
Yours to hold, make your stand,
Shades scenes, oh world's wonderland,
Wonderland,
I won't fail let it lay within,
I won't fail let it lay within.

This track is the result of a collaboration with a fantastic singer and artist TygerTyger https://soundcloud.com/corvus_sky , whose voice made a splash in my mind. I am eternally grateful to her for her cooperation and excellent work on this track. In fact, this track is a logical continuation of "Desert Wind" https://soundcloud.com/coda2009/desert-wind , its Remix. TygerTyger wrote the lyrics to my music, based on Frank Herbert's novel "Dune" and sang amazingly.

I walk without rhythm

I walk without rhythm

Lyrics


Holiness is air
Air is emptiness
Filling the voids in my heart
All the colours swirl in a visionless
Pool of pity
I'm giving I'm giving I'm giving
Until there's nothing left

One two three
Good reasons to believe
I got
One two three
Things I had to leave
One two three
Good reasons I can see
I got one two three
Spirits in me
One two three

Loneliness is love
Love is endlessness
Chasing a butterfly
Breathing in the air by the waters edge
Sparkles and sun and ice
Everything flows and comes back again
Just like a dragonfly

One two three
Good reasons to believe
I got one two three
Things I had to leave
One two three
Good reasons i can see
I got
One two three
Spirits in me
One two three

Wild as a meadow
That knows no bounds
Living in my mind
I'm walking and sleeping
And hoping and leaving
Until I'm nothing left

One two three
Good reasons to believe
I got one two three
Thing I had to leave
One two three
Good reasons I can see
One two three
Spirits in me
One two three
One two three
Good reasons to believe 
One two three
One two three

SORROW 

Baby please let me stand here in the rain
I don't need your comfort I'm in pain
I'm done with the fighting
I'm done with you
I'm done with the hurting
And loving you

Go home
Go home
Intermezzo

Baby please let me stand here in the rain
I don't need your comfort I'm in pain
I can not fix what was broken baby
I can not heal what was stolen lately
I can not try again
I'm done with the fighting
I'm done with you
I'm done with the hurting
And loving you

Go home
Go home
Intermezzo

Let me cry in the rain now baby
All our love is invain and maybe
We are better off on our own
Let me cry in the rain now baby
All our love is invain and maybe
We are better off on our own

Go home
Go home
Intermezzo

Baby please let me stand here in the rain
I don't need your comfort I'm in pain
I'm done with the fighting
I'm done with you
I'm done with the hurting
And loving you

Go home......

'Mistakes' is nothing more or less than a simple love song. Melodic and a little bit edgy, just like Cindy and me. Alt rock meets dream pop. Thank you everyone for listening and supporting Para Lia!

lyrics:

i found you waiting in the backyard
of my selfmade house of cards
you are like the sunrise that breaks the dark

all my mistakes led me to you
we are riding with the past into something new

my broken road is filled with ghosts
and some of my steps left potholes in my soul
it's a fine line between love and pain
you're touching my mind, you keep me sane

all my mistakes led me to you
we are riding with the past into something new
it's long overdue

Brave Face (Wane of Summer & Annie Smart)

I think this track started 2 years ago. I remember talking about the vision with Jamie on the phone and then Jamie sent me a bunch of stems to choose from. I chose the standing bass and recorded my verse with a 90’s vibe in mind. I sent the track over to Russell to add some guitars, he sent that funk rock intro and riff back, and then I don’t know what happened after that? A bunch of other songs got made and the vision for this track expanded to include cutting my second verse and bringing Jon Lock in on vocals. Then the song sat again. Jon and I even started and completed And So You Say and Training Day after we had already got this song started. Since this track was visioned to be part of the first song on the set with Training Day, eventually it had to be completed. Wou-Wou then join in with his synths, rhythm guitar over Jon’s part, and some additional guitar over the first section. This gave the track the final fire it needed and Russell mixed and mastered it like a champ!

As always, massive thanks to Wou-Wou and Russell who have been regular collaborators on so many projects, on SoundCloud, Facebook, and Bandcamp. Wou and Russell will always be the core of my musical team. Thanks for being great friends! 
Big thanks also to Jon, who I have worked with on 3 songs now, with 2 more in the works already! 
And thanks to Jamie for all his patience, support, and for the completion of our second project together!   

This song goes out to all the music nerds, appreciators, and lovers with strong opinions. Keep those conversations going. I spent many, many years, going to the record store several times a week, hanging and talking with the staff, some who became good friends.

Lyrics 

Everything changes 
Nothing stays the same 
I used to hate it when my people would say it's a shame 
Stating that the games gone lame 
Claiming that today the music is wack 
At times I would refrain and take a step back
But most of the time I would counter attack 
Back in the day, we would say, Clever repartee 
When we were clowning around 
But now a days we taking the things a bit more serious 
Or maybe it's just me, see 
I ain't playing around as much as I used to be 
Conversations at a minimal 
It's not that I'm more critical or cynical 
It's that I am a more apathetic individual
I  just don't care 
Call me hypocritical 
I be like that's fair 
Yo
What happened to all the innovators, rhyme slayers, originality generators
You know
There really all still there
Back in the days we had to dig in the crates
Looking for the lessor known greats
I guess that's still the way it operates 
Hates a narrow minded state 
And It take effort to educate
So 
I’ma stay open and keep on diggin’ 
Vibin' on the sounds that I be hearin’ 
Yea 
And you know it's like that 
And you know and you know and you know it's like that 
Keep keep on, keep keep on
keep keep keep on

And you know it’s like that

Here comes the backup plan
The man without a name
Don’t want to be no star
Just musical acclaim 
Brush back those famous hats like children in the street
I’m gonna sing a bit while Couch King cracks the beat
Whoa baby now shake
Like momma told you now
Whoa baby now shake
Like this was made for
This is a slice of funk
USDA prime
Let it get to your head
You will feel fine
Poetry in motion
Images in time
Back beats and refined commotion 
Aged like fine wine 

Any you know it’s like that

HAPPY
lyrics by Sar Araion

Follow the energy of life,
you will discover
that it’s always seeking
the best of what you might become.
You stand a chance
to be happy, not being another
but yourself, and glad
you’re on your own.

Take a deep breath, and enjoy …
Smile like never before.
Look in the mirror,
and welcome everyday.

Don’t get out of touch!
Be your self
and feel happy for awhile.
Cos you need to come out
and show the world
what you’ve been working on
- something, most beautiful …

Look ahead, it’s coming
just around the corner,
that lucky strike,
it’s your magic blow.
You, the ridgepole, the pillar,
as no other, can figure out
what’s to show.

Happy, tranquility and zest for life.

French Fries

I’m standing on the seafront
Holding a cold metal rail 
The sea is performing an acrobatic stunt
And rusting my chain mail 

I could wipe my eyes
But I’m in disguise
Looking out for spies 

The seagulls shine in lung darkness
Above me and below me 
They’re pulling something dead apart down on the stones
That’s been dead for a while already

I don’t want no surprise
Just harmonise with
My unshared french fries

You can get a little closer to you 
When you’re by yourself
You can get a little closer 
If you stood in a book and looked out 

I’m running flat out through the arcade
Throwing coins up into the lights
The traveller king spins around 
Kiss-me-quickly hat on 
But he doesn’t see my surprise

Now don’t act all wise
Like you know the franchise
You don’t like the cries
From the rooms where blood dries
You don’t like the cries
From the rooms where blood dries

"Things that you said were taken for granted 
But I realise they never were
All the bad things happen miles away
So what were you doing ‘round here
Things that you said were taken for granted 
But I realise they never were
All the bad things happen miles away
So what were you doing ‘round here
Today?"

Humeurs froides

Placide matin mité sur les portes peintes
d'acides liquidités vomitives plaintes
hume ton âme par tes yeux carnivores
humectés blanchis par mes pleurs encrivores.

Froid levant pénétrant ta féline charogne
proie du néant l'amant perpétuant ma rogne !
De pierre je ne crève mes humeurs froides
passionnelles preuves... mes tumeurs froides
tumeurs froides.

Placide matin mité sur les portes peintes
d'acides liquidités vomitives plaintes
De pierre je ne crève mes humeurs froides
passionnelles preuves... mais tu meurs froide...

Humeurs froides [Dan-T and Lukowig]

A wife to none, a mother to us all.
We are drawn to you, when we hear you call.
There at the beginning and also the end.
A place to be alone, or be with a friend.
you help us with our industry and give us times of play.
We bathe in your waters and wash our sins away.
There in times of happiness and in days of strife.
You bring us all we need.......... you are! ...........the river of life!

The river of life.

TEMPEST
by Alexander Pushkin

You saw a maiden on a cliff
Above the sea, all dressed in white
As, raging in the stormy mist,
The waves and shore were locked in fight;

As bolts of lightening flashed and poured
A crimson glow about her shape;
As round her head the tempest roared
And winds assailed her streaming cape.

O splendid sea and storm and mist!?
O gleaming heavens flashing free!
And yet that maiden on the cliff
Outshines that sky and storm and sea.

БУРЯ 
А. С. Пушкин

Ты видел деву на скале
В одежде белой над волнами
Когда, бушуя в бурной мгле,
Играло море с берегами,

Когда луч молний озарял
Ее всечасно блеском алым
И ветер бился и летал
С ее летучим покрывалом?

Прекрасно море в бурной мгле
И небо в блесках без лазури;
Но верь мне: дева на скале
Прекрасней волн, небес и бури.

А. С. Пушкин, 1825

Tempest (Sar Araion / Guitarbeard)

This song started life many years ago as an instrumental piano boogie.   At some stage I decided to add vocals, but only ever wrote one verse before other events intervened ,,, so ... the lyrics never got finished and the song never recorded.
	I have been a follower of the extraordinary vocalist, poet and songwriter W. E. Bartolotta (Bill) on SC for some time now, and one day, in my head, I heard “Life of the Party” in his voice.   I contacted Bill, who was quite enthusiastic about a collaboration, so I passed on what I had, along with a preliminary recording.
	After some back and forth, we arrived at this final result.

Credits belong to:
   	W. E. Bartolotta:  	lyrics, arrangement and vocal
	Ken Minty:  		music, lyrics, piano, bass and lap steel
	John Walsh:		mouth harp
	Mike Konopka:	percussion, bass, sound engineer, arrangement and mix

Please check out Bill's SC site at  soundcloud.com/user-233624083 … I promise, it will be well worth your while.

Lyrics:
     have the words ever hung from the tip of your tongue
     but you knew not what to say
     i know how you feel  it¹s no big deal
     you will survive another day
     still
     if you wish some assistance
     to keep that doubt at bay
     here is a fact for a winner, whether saint or sinner
     keep your cards in play
     cause you¹re the life of the party
     life of the party
     be free

     some have the notion there exists a potion
     that can flip a fool to cool
     but when your stomach is churnin and you brain is burnin
     you may feel just a tool
     still
     if you need some assistance
     to keep that doubt at bay
     here is a fact for a winner, whether saint or sinner
     keep your cards in play
     cause you¹re the life of the party
     life of the party
     be free

     there's  no one like you in all the galaxy
     come join the party be free

     some think life is merry
     just a bowl full of cherries
     each treat preceding the next
     some like to wallow in the causes they follow
     to fill up their emptiness
     still
     if you need some assistance
     to keep that doubt at bay
     here is a fact for a winner, whether saint or sinner
     just keep your cards in play
     cause you¹re the life of the party
     life of the party
     be free

Life Of The Party w W.E. Bartolotta

The road is long like a river of life..
those words kept revolving around and around in my mind 
The song itself is about spiritual growth its also part of a trilogy of songs ive written and will release as an e.p
Im most at peace when im on the road as i feel active and alive moving along and seeking 
A wise old woman once told me at the end of her life we can only move forward like the flow of a river dont dwell to much on the past look ahead as surely thats one way we can grow and progress as humans

poem by Sar Araion

I left you a token,
now it’s for you to decide.
Why/Not so precocious?!
Don’t you lie, to me …
Take this signal,
there’s so much time
you don’t know, yet.
What is it with true symbols?
How could you know …
You’ve not yet entered
the Real :: picture-show.

It’s all about Dreaming ::
but dreaming, in the right way;

not get carried away, but stay,
then get carried away …
So, who are you to say?
what «What» really is …
I brand you: Juvenile!

Tipsy meditative, groove reflective, masculine chillout. Chill hard! 

My own favorite track for the new Flower Power - Prock Prock album, 11/29/2019. 

https://soundcloud.com/samprock/sets/flower-power

Usually i post fresh improv, faster made tune. This one is different. Two years of mixing, mastering, getting dozens of basslines bumping to each other in a slo-mo Pogo dance. Had a blast producing it in Ableton with Arturia synths and IK Multimedia tools. 

Having said that, thats a rule, Fender Strat tipsy guitar noodle improv comes almost as-is, as it happened one good day. You can spend endless time mixing, polishing, growing your skills, but if something just happened - let it be. Power of music is in the improvisation and art of impression. Hope you share that thoughts and enjoy the do. TNX!

The day I finished working on this track, I met the love of my life. It was a gift of fate, a gift from God. It's been 4 years and here I am again alone, again in mono. The circle closed. Happiness doesn't last. So mono is relevant to me again. However, life goes on and there is still a lot of interesting things ahead!

Lyrics:

Bound By Angels

Did they lead
your beliefs astray
did I lose you somewhere
along the way
oh-------faith
did I forget you 
when I needed you the most
now you have gone away
and I feel lost
though its useless
to think that somehow
we are destined to succeed
but all we need to do
is believe-------
Angels 
watching over us
Bound by Angels
making us do right
Bound by Angels
watching over us
Bound by Angels
leading us to light
Oh can you feel the power
that comes down from the heavens
on the wings of love from above
In the form of a dove
from sky to sea
like a tunnel of light 
shining down upon
you lately
Bound By Angels 
watching over us
Bound by Angels
making us do right
Bound by Angels
watching over us
Bound by Angels
leading us to light
Bound By Angels 
watching over us
Bound by Angels
making us do right
Bound By Angels,, Bound By Angels,
Bound By Angels,, Bound By Angels,
Bound By Angels---------

Bound By Angels Feat. Jack Tahbaz & Jerry Lochman (TCM Underground Official) - Electronic

Lyrics:

Look up 
The galaxies in the deep dark
The air around is growing thick and grey so
If I’m without you
What’s in front and behind me
No I don’t think it’s enough 
I don’t want this space between us

Never felt this kind of love 
Closer than we’ve ever been
But this is not enough
I’m so scared of what I’ve been
I just want to go home to you
I just want to be near you

Open up
The Fathers hand draws near enough
Look there the world is growing sick and tired so
what if I need you
to go before and behind me
No I don’t think I’m enough 
I don’t want this place between us

Never felt this kind of love
Closer then we’ve ever been
But this is not enough
Wanna see your face again
I just want to go home to you
I just want to be near you

This is not enough
This is not enough
Want to be close to you
Close to you 
Home with you
Look Up

Look Up

What a great guy to work with. This is the second track, that I wrote, that Couch King worked and rapped on. Love his positive energy both in music and life. Thanks Marquis!

 Here's a bit more information, for those who are curious.
I am by no means in the habit of explaining what I was trying to say in a piece of music. I generally think the views of an artist on their own work are often, at best, partial or wrong and, at worst, self-serving. It's be better to stick to answering questions if asked(not that for the most part people's interest in my music rises to the level that they do ;). I've started to rethink that position though, in light of my own interest in what the people I listen to are thinking, and in any case I probably owe my collaborator a fuller accounting. I'll start with my own relationship to hip-hop. I'm older than the form. Making it the only major form of music that that is true of. It was also born close, geologically and culturally, to where I'm from but not in my neighborhood so to speak. So to me it's like the kid from down the block, say, four years younger. Growing out of the same environment, ie. soul, funk, jazz, etc., but with a bit of a divide. That being it's original construction out of samples. It was an audio collage art form. This has over time changed of course, although the original form still exerts influence over the way it's played and constructed. I had none of this in my mind when I sent the original tracks to Marquis(Couch King) but when he sent back his first rough draft of his rap; a thought came together in my mind. His speedy delivery set against my languid backing track brought to mind a slightly self conscious dinner guest. A new friend over for the first time. Filling in details of his life, and how he thinks about it, through stories of his past. The first verse addressing his new friends on his background. Small talk if you will. As he gets more intense though he starts to really talk to, in his mind, his father and then an old lover. Not unusual in an interesting, thoughtful conversation, no? I'm taking the role of the host of course. Inviting the younger, but now mature, man from the old neighborhood to my home. It's a dinner party so there are other people there. Chirping in about drinking, smoking, Nietzsche, chasing girls and his date sighing about his story(the samples in order except the bell which I'd rather not explain, you've got to leave something, no?). The music changing as his stories effect the mood in the room. The host though shares nothing. Polite and reasonably warm but sphinx like and a bit haughty. Making interesting ambiguous comments and not explaining them.

Dinner Party (A Couch King Collaboration)

Sar Araion disappeared, but I upload again this collab, because it is one of my favorite from our collection!

Lyrics & Vocals by Sar Araion:
Happy on the trigger,
shooting words from the hand;
it is the script, right, instantly.
Giving orders, take command.
Happy, you go figure!
That’s just how you understand.
I won’t meddle in your flow.
Lets just see, what you make of it.

This, you have to learn by heart.
It’s no other way,
that you figure it out.
At first glance, and when it stirs,
when it shakes, when it rumbles.
Here comes trouble!

Blue rain!

We’re about to leave now.
Lets get it in order,
when we’re out on the road.
We will talk a little quieter,
not raise our voices,
not entwine in the wrong way,
giving away moments
too frequently …

This, we have to learn by heart.
It’s no other way,
that we figure it out.
At first glance; and when it stirs,
when it shakes, when it rumbles.
Here comes trouble!

Blue rain!
Endless showers,
torrents crushing drops
through a troubled sky.
Now is the time know why!
Yes, know it instantly: Why!!
In the Blue Rain, know why,
to tell what matters.
Blue rain, blue rain,
raindrops all over us …

COME BACK SAR ARAION!

Blue Rain

Blue Rain (Lyrics & Vocals by Sar Araion)

Lyrics:

It’s so cold out here I’ll get frostbite
Haunted by the thought of soon daylight
If you see me start to run come and find me
I will wait for you
In the middle of this place I am hiding

When I feel so sickly
Come and find me out of the dark
Hide and Seeking 
You never want us to be apart

Mind retreats again to find a safe spot
Trapped in by the walls a battle I fight
this is selfish game I play
 I need you to find me 
I’ll be brave for you
In the darkest spaces there You are seeking

When I feel so empty
Come and find me out of the dark
When I hide your seeking
You never wanted this from the start
Hide and seeking
You never want us to be apart 

1 2 3
Come and find me
1 2 3
Hide and seeking

Hide and Seeking

After Midnight/ Collab Syntaleta & Sar Araion

Well I know this is a cover and not my usual style but lockdown makes you do weird things. Normal service will be resumed. When? Dunno, but I suspect BoJo knows.  Big greetings and musical hugs to you from a slightly 'stir crazy' burn.it.smith (a.k.a. Antony x)

Oh Susanna (Stephen Foster)

I went camping for a few days to hang out with the trees, but I have returned with a new tune.

I've been trying to improve my guitar skills as i feel ive been plateaued for a while now, and so i have been learning new songs including a lot of Hendrix which gave me the idea to incorporate bass notes with my thumb into the riff (Little Wing etc). 

Lots of people wander this earth struggling with depression, sadness and a lack of purpose in their life. This song is a story about nature encouraging the people of earth to live out their dreams and reassuring them that there is no reason to frown and no reason not to shoot for their goals right now.
Because after all, the only real time is now.

 <3 <3


Tears fall from the sky
All the people they run and hide
All the people they run inside
They should smile, but they cry

Tears fall from the clouds
All the people they run around
All the people they fall and drown
They should smile, but they frown

Only if they knew just above the clouds
There were bright blue skies shinin all around
Calling to the people theyre smiling down
Callin out theres no need to frown

The birds they sing to the people too
Hey you fools its time to do
All the things you ever dreamed of
Write that book that you always speak of

I see
Angels
Weeping
All around me

If only 
They knew
How much
They can do

Angels
