NO HURRY TO REACH THE FAME

Cry baby

Like the short lyrics' meaning "love has no hurry", music makes contrasts on rhythms and textures even inside each part: Main theme starts with fast drums on slow melodies & has a DANCEABLE? 2nd part with lead bass guitar; Central theme makes fast tracks become slow to the left channel and vice-versa, progressing to a POST-ROCK? atmosphere. Meanwhile, two lead guitars and echoing voices complete the contrasting piece. I hope to get your feedback !!!

Lyrics:
Our so-called intellect
is ignorance defined
A veil that blinds 
our eyes

We think we know it all
And that’s why we'll fall

The ancients, now buried
Believed themselves as gods

Their deafening silence
proves that they were wrong

Gentle bravery preserves
While hubris destroys

We’ve forgotten ourselves
Consumed by our toys

We think we know it all
And that’s why we'll fall
Again and again
And again

Our so-called intellect
is ignorance defined
A veil that blinds 
our eyes

We think we know it all
And that’s why we'll fall

A mighty army lies vanquished
The snake consumes itself

The one who kills
destroys themselves

Subtle perseverance
steers us to the way

Our collective madness 
has chosen – has chosen --
Another fate

True words may be ugly
While the beautiful may be false

Have respect for everyone
don’t exalt yourself

The great are laid low
The soft and gentle remain

This world could be a paradise
But we have initiated the fall

Lyrics:
Brood of vipers
Flee the wrath
Dig into the earth

In the undercroft
Crawl on your belly,
naked mole rats
Bringing hell to earth
No sense left
Who do you think you are?
Who made you God
Only in your head!
All you really are
All you’ll ever be
Crawling in the dark
Is a mole rat!

Brood of vipers
Flee the wrath
Dig into the earth

In the undercroft
Crawl on your belly,
naked mole rats
Bringing hell to earth!

Lyrics: 

I hear a call from deep inside
Calling me back to the source
To the space 
where
I once belonged

When the change is complete
Is there nothing left of me?
light reflects
eternity

What seemed solid now dissolves
And the past is washed away
Is it fear that holds
the truth at bay?

When the change is complete
Is there nothing left of me?
light reflects
eternity

As the waters cascade down
Reminding us where we belong
Healing us in 
serenity

What seemed solid now dissolves
And the past is washed away
Is it fear that holds
the truth at bay?

As the waters cascade down
Reminding us where we belong
Healing us in 
serenity

Flowing through eternity
We'vw been here before
The search will end
When we seek no more

★Mrs Rhymes - Hideaway
https://soundcloud.com/mrsrhymes/hideaway

This piece is based on the original by Mrs Rhymes introduced above, with my guitar playing overdubbed.
A big thank you to Mrs Rhymes for agreeing to release this recording :)

Some time ago, I needed to do some thinking about my DTM system and was reviewing my music data.  At that time, I suddenly noticed this song by Mrs Rhymes.  About a year ago, I think.  I had a preliminary recording of my guitar to go along with this wonderful piece.  Remembering that, I played it back and listened.  I didn't like my guitar playing, even though it was just a temporary recording for notes.  I don't think the sounds and phrases I used at that time match the original song.  Compared to that, the original song is still great.  So I grabbed my guitar and started recording.  A few hours later, I was in the process of uploading my freshly finished work here.

The key of this song is C#, and I think that what we should be aware of as a performance style is "B♭m/C# pentatonic".
I do not mix tapping, sweeping, or other fancy playing techniques in my guitar playing with this outstanding piece. I tried to keep the accompaniment very simple. This excellent piece, which I picked up as an example this time, will be finished with two things in mind: "B♭m/C# pentatonic". However, in a blues scale song, one song uses four pentatonic forms. Therefore, first of all, I believe that it is very important to be aware of "two things" on a daily basis and to practice guitar playing repeatedly.

And before we understand it in words, what we value most is the encounter with works and artists that we can continue to enjoy playing along with our favorite music as many times as we want, even ten times if necessary. Right?

Thank You for 1000 plays ❤️

In the late 1980s, I had the opportunity to watch in the cinema Godfrey Reggio's documentary "Koyaaniquatsi" with music by Philip Glass and produced by Francis Ford Coppola, and I became a fan of the soundtrack from this film.

A few months ago I was watching the third season of "Stranger Things" and suddenly, in the third episode, in the last scene, I heard familiar sounds. Without checking, I could tell I could hear Phillip's music. And so it was. My fascination was revived and I felt the urge to create something similar to his style.
Unfortunately, my creativity and time has its limits and I haven't been able to make a full song... yet ;) But I'm sharing with you an idea, or rather an introduction to this piece. I hope you like it at least a little :)

Lyrics:

I’ll follow you
Wherever you may go
Follow you
Through the desert
Or the storm
Follow you
I’ll take this road
Follow you
No matter
Where you go

Finally found you
Won’t turn away,
because you
are my saving grace
Forever,
I will stay

I’ll follow you
Through the dark of night
Follow you
Until we reach the light

Don’t turn away
Or be afraid
In all honesty,
We are saved

I’ll follow you
You’ll never steer me wrong
follow you
To the other side and home
Follow you
I’ll take this road

No matter
Where it goes
eyes upon
the world to come
The truth is all else
will pass away
Don’t turn away
Don’t be afraid
We are saved

We all wander
Jesus showed the way
Call on His name
Every tear is wiped away

I Will Follow You (David k. A. Spencer & Cosmic Keanu)

Lyrics:
Too many times
Did i sit here and cry
After  the lies
Can we say our goodbyes
Why are you playin
I'm tired of saying
You took it all
When you walked out on me
You're from the city
I'm from the sticks
You were so pretty
But you made love a bitch
Just go 
Take it all with you
Moonlight 
On the morning dew
I'm so sick and tired 
Of messin around
Of mucking it up
Every time that i'm down
I’m so sick and tired 
Of running away
I must be in love
Won’t you just stay

poem / copyright jo richter

adopting a circular angle at interrelations
we are created by our creations
‘though you can‘t put your finger on it right now
we‘ve always been earth, co-existing with the plough

averting your eyes, alien shadows will rise
while accountants still stammer out weird alibis
there is no reason to avoid one another
the same remains different, no need to bother

recording no time cannot withhold seizures
reality leaks in through multiple fissures
good manners are naughty, abstraction's obscene
arachnoids welcome the chthulucene

This is a song I came up with, using a looper to create the beat, and adding bass to that.  I then sent it to Brian, who added some killer guitar tracks. I then sent that version to JJ, who added some really cool keys and synth. We then gave it over to Tez, who brilliantly mixed the monster into something palatable. I love afrobeat, and feel very honored to have all these brilliant musicians create this song with me. It's named after a phenomenon my South African buddy Louis (Zero on here) was telling me about wherein the power is cut for more than several hours on end. Makes for plenty of misery there, although I don't consider that aspect of it as relating to the song. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it!

I'm really grateful for over 1000 plays. Thank You very much! ❤️

This is my little story. Close your eyes and go with Ryan Gosling and his car ("Drive") to the night ride through rainy, bladerunnerish, big City of Lights 😉

For anyone who needs a bit of calm down after an intense day at work.

All begun with downloading free version of Vital Synth...
Same day made some loops with it and next day do the little jamming with them. I did some improvisation that had to be edited a bit, but I hope it's passable 😉

I hope You enjoy it and thank You kindly for listening.

Thanks go to @jusmaks for being my test driver and helping balance the bass 💛

Rencontre entre deux "moments" pour n'en former qu'un. De l'harmonie et de la dissonance, la musique est un reflet fugace de la vie comme un passage furieux ou apaisé, cette force irrépressible qui renverse, qui bouscule nos merveilleuses existences comme un éternel recommencement.
Merci infiniment à Rosmarino de m'avoir permis d'emprunter un "moment", ce chemin là.

Solomon Kane's Homecoming by Robert E. Howard

Music by Omellette of Mars
https://soundcloud.com/omelette2mars / https://soundcloud.com/omeletteofmars
 
Read by Cosmic Keanu

The white gulls wheeled above the cliffs,
the air was slashed with foam,
The long tides moaned along the strand
when Solomon Kane came home.
He walked in silence strange and dazed
through the little Devon town,
His gaze, like a ghost’s come back to life,
roamed up the streets and down.

The people followed wonderingly
to mark his spectral stare,
And in the tavern silently
they thronged about him there.
He heard as a man hears in a dream
the worn old rafters creak,
And Solomon lifted his drinking-jack
and spoke as a ghost might speak:

“There sat Sir Richard Grenville once;
in smoke and flame he passed,
“And we were one to fifty-three,
but we gave them blast for blast.
“From crimson dawn to crimson dawn,
we held the Dons at bay.
“The dead lay littered on our decks,
our masts were shot away.

“We beat them back with broken blades,
till crimson ran the tide;
“Death thundered in the cannon smoke
when Richard Grenville died.
“We should have blown her hull apart
and sunk beneath the Main.”
The people saw upon his wrists
the scars of the racks of Spain.

“Where is Bess?” said Solomon Kane.
“Woe that I caused her tears.”
“In the quiet churchyard by the sea
she has slept these seven years.”
The sea-wind moaned at the window-pane,
and Solomon bowed his head.
“Ashes to ashes and dust to dust,
and the fairest fade,” he said.

His eyes were mystical deep pools
that drowned unearthly things,
And Solomon lifted up his head
and spoke of his wanderings.
“Mine eyes have looked on sorcery
in the dark and naked lands,
“Horror born of the jungle gloom
and death on the pathless sands.

“And I have known a deathless queen
in a city old as Death,
“Where towering pyramids of skulls
her glory witnesseth.
“Her kiss was like an adder’s fang,
with the sweetness Lilith had,
“And her red-eyed vassals howled for blood
in that City of the Mad.

“And I have slain a vampire shape
that sucked a black king white,
“And I have roamed through grisly hills
where dead men walked at night.
“And I have seen heads fall like fruit
in the slaver’s barracoon,
“And I have seen winged demons fly
all naked in the moon.

“My feet are weary of wandering
and age comes on apace;
“I fain would dwell in Devon now,
forever in my place.”
The howling of the ocean pack
came whistling down the gale,
And Solomon Kane threw up his head
like a hound that snuffs a trail.

A-down the wind like a running pack
the hounds of the ocean bayed,
And Solomon Kane rose up again
and girt his Spanish blade.
In his strange cold eyes a vagrant gleam
grew wayward and blind and bright,
And Solomon put the people by
and went into the night.

A wild moon rode the wild white clouds,
the waves in white crests flowed,
When Solomon Kane went forth again
and no man knew his road.
They glimpsed him etched against the moon,
where clouds on hilltop thinned;
They heard an eery echoed call
that whistled down the wind.

Capillary waves
Treading ether
Mind echoes
Ripple on

Form perception
Senses clean
turn inward,
Source is seen

Thoughts entangle
looking back
what came before
fades to black

Lost in thinking
separate mind
To this moment
We are blind

Captured by
Conflicted mind,
What we seek
Is what we find

When we let go
Our will is free
The Gordian knot
Is cut clean

The Way is shown,
The Truth we see
The Life unending,
We are free

Upon The Rock

Won’t stop, keep building up,
Until we reach the top 

And when the rain comes 
Falling down,
What was built on sand
Crashes to the ground

Everything we cling to
Will wash away
The only thing 
left standing 
is built upon 
the rock

The only thing that we can trust,
Is what's built upon the rock

And when the wind beats
upon the house,
What was built on sand,
Scatters across the land

Everything we cling to
Will blow away
The only thing left
standing is
built upon 
the rock

All else we seek is 
idle vanity
Everything else
will disappear
Eventually

Be excellent to each other!

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
--Ephesians 6:12

"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word."
--Thessalonians 2:16

Enter through the narrow gate. 
For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
--Matthew 7:13-14

For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
-- Galatians 1:10

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
--Matthew 6:24
