All The Headlights

You yes you’re living in a cage
You’re bouncing off the bars
But it’s my ribs and tissue that’s inflammed
Yes it’s I who’s watching for your car
My roots are deep here in the west
Invested here I have to stay
But you got gypsy in your blood
Your fiddles playing the sounds of Spain
And so I’m watching yes I’m watching
All the headlights - all the headlights
Oh I’m watching yes I’m watching 
All the headlights - all the headlights
Coming up over the hill - hoping that one of them is you

Though you’ve had a travelling circus life
You been courting stability
And I’ve been prostrate at your feet
I been licking your toes to sleep
And though you bathe in pleasures warm
I sense our wine is running dry
I know as you commute each morn
You’re not the type to say goodbye
And so I’m watching  . . . you

This evening’s sky is coal dust cloud
You’re late and I’m a clairvoyant
This house empty of all sound 
This house is empty
This house is empty

ALL THE HEADLIGHTS

Text from Shakespeare's 17th sonnet, original music.

Dandelion Blues  ( an Incredible String Band tune)

Written 2016

On a summit in the rain,
Wetter than a fucking Soviet submarine,
This place is cold and wet and grey,
But I love it all the same

In the stadium I sing,
Watch my team get roundly massacred again,
Cannot play a running game,
But I love them all the same, aye I love them all the same

From this bottle that I drink,
Maturing since I was just 14 years of age,
Smoke and honey salt and sea,
And I love it all the same

From this path that I once made,
I see water mountains snow and sun and mist,
As they feast upon my face,
I am part of the landscape, I am part of the landscape

Part Of The Landscape

"Changing Sky" electronic music with electric guitar and vocals. a change in the sky , a change in fortunes?  just playing around with ideas for a song,
"and I got a head that´s full of dreams
is it any wonder.
And at last a changing sky
waiting in the future
where to go, when you don´t know where to go?
where to go, when there is no where to go?

Changing Sky

Electronic, song. "Invincible"  
Longtime ago I had this recurring nightmare, a typical scene of being chased,  by something very frightening... 
I was running away from something very scary, down lanes, roads and passageways. In one of these dreams I ran so fast I had to jump over a fence that suddenly appeared in front of me,
 as I leapt over it I took off!  , I was flying!... flying through this city, 
 anyways, back to the point. Years later I had the nightmare again, but this time I was frightened so much I woke up ! 
 at that point I realised this was that old recurring nightmare, 
so I decided to go straight back to sleep and try to bring that nightmare back and go looking for what ever was chasing me remembering it was just a dream. And I did just that!
...in dreams you can be invincible :)

Invincible

After our previous collaboration, I was so pleased when EllE (Cycle of Hands) agreed to work with me again on this new track, both with the music and vocals. It has not exactly been an easy ride and I have to admit that at times I almost gave up on it...but I am so, so glad that we both persevered, as '4am' has become something rather special and unique. Huge thanks to EllE. She is - and always will be - a star.

Lyrics below:
There are some things that wait until the quiet
Time of night
To take over your mind before the day gets bright
When everyone’s still asleep I feel like I might
Be the only one alive so I look to the sky

I take comfort in the stars and the moon in despite
Of their distance from my room where I sit and write
Pieces of ideas from this muse deep inside
She’s the higher form I use to free my light

It’s 4 am and I am
In the deep end 
No sleep then
For me this night

It’s me and my mind
I can’t unwind 
I wonder 
I hunt for 
What is life

I Ignite a little fire to see where I am
In the A.M. I get tired but I still can’t land
Mayhem of creation doesn’t care about plans
I made when my intention was lights out by 9

But Inspiration beckons and I can’t reject the call
If it is passed to me it’s disrespect if I drop the ball
Of energy like electricity from the wall
It’s all I see and I know its me who needs to crack this vault

It’s 4 am and I am
In the deep end 
No sleep then
For me this night

It’s me and my mind
I can’t unwind 
I wonder 
I hunt for 
What is life

It’s 4 am and 
The world is small
This screen the window 
And my wall

No sounds are heard
Except my own thoughts
They go Back and forth 
And it ticks me off

My eyes are glued to this new creation 
I can’t stop, drop or leave this inspiration 
Inside me theres a key to the ignition 
When its turned There is no chance of intermission 
I’ve been hitting on something much bigger than fiction 
I know Because it comes straight from my deepest intuition 
It can’t wait to escape from everything I’ve written 
Leaping from the words the moment you see em

So tonightt I am defying my sleep cycle 
Gonna try to give life to these dreams that I pull
From the hat on my skull That been getting too full 
With ideas and scenarios playing like a film roll 
On repeat so I need to hit focus and record
Can’t miss a thing double checking every cord
I know that the final piece is my only reward 
I blow through minutes and hours with every step taken towards
My gold

DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES

put a little uke on this oldie

All the waiting
Summer has come and gone
So quickly
We find ourselves back where we started
Your frustration
Is hardly imagined, I imagine
In this world, the will to survive's amazing

I'd like to tell you that something's going to give
But you alone must ride this wave angry kid
I understand that it's not easy to live
But something's bound to give

Please take no offense
The words that are said mere reflections
Of these events
Regrettable
Young hearts get
Hardened too soon on this journey
Hard wired
For recovery

DeeP. and the Couch King EP collectable stickers and zine available on Bandcamp here:
https://musiciselation.bandcamp.com/album/deep-and-the-couch-king

This is the second song that DeeP. and I began together. I really enjoy working on these darker tracks with DeeP. and exploring themes of depression, anxiety, fear, and shame. This song was inspired by a person that I was working with who would call me evil whenever he saw me. Even with me being as positive and non judgmental as possible, I am sure I was seen as another person telling him what to do and making decisions for him based on judgmental criteria. I think these are feelings many of us have had and it can be easy to relate to, though difficult to confront. 

I am grateful that we always have an opportunity to grow, learn, reflect, and evolve as individuals, communities, nations, and as a species. May we all be better to each other. 

Giant thanks to DeeP. for working with me on this track. And huge thanks to Nick for joining me on this first track together. I have long enjoyed and felt inspired by Nick’s creative and experimental guitar work and musicianship. I am super glad to have his vibe on this track!

Lyrics:

You’re never gonna make it
You’re dumb and you know it
You’re just a mistake kid
Don’t belong and you show it
Why you even trying
This ain’t meant for you kid
I already know that your lying
We already know that you did it
They know your planning on taking it
And gonna try to deny it
Why even try to fight it 
That’s just the way life is
You’re never gonna change it
You must be deranged if you
Think anything will be different 
If you get outta here shit
You’ll still be the same kid
Just a little punk kid
Look what you done did
When you got mad then you run hid
Don’t ever listen 
To what people are saying kid
Better watch your language 
Always talking trash
Claiming disadvantage 
You and me we clash
Why can’t you manage 
Come off way too brash
I can tell that you’re damaged 
Parents shoulda whooped your ass
Who you think you talking to
Always talking back 
I know all about you ’n
Your side of the track
Don’t question me 
Look at me 
When you hear me speaking 
Think you know everything
Really know nothing
Parent’s got nothing 
Apparent your fronting 
Looking confronting 
That’s why I ain’t trusting 
Homelife disgustin’
Cop frequently busting  
No wonder you like that 
Your really screwed up kid

Disdain disgust despite distrust 
Dismissed deprived derided and cussed
Disparaged, defied, despised when discussed
Detested, depreciated, decried, and hushed

Oh, here comes the demon again
And he’s wearing his crown
Here comes the devil again 
Pretending to be your friend
In an invisible gown

You are so worthless
Won’t amount to anything 
Going through life purposeless 
There’s nothing you bring
Your just an embarrassment 
You show no respect 
Always been a disappointment 
All you touched is wrecked 
Where’s your self-esteem kid
Where’s your sense of pride did
You think can get by with
Living on a free ride shit
Better watch where your going
I can tell you don’t give a damn 
Nor care to understand 
Perspective other than 
The one that your knowing 
Don’t give a shit 
Always so negative
Quick to give up 
Can’t contro ya temper 
About to blow up
I can tell that your stuck 
Ain’t gonna change  
It’s time that you face it
Never act your age
Your impulsive ’n impatient
Look at your rage 
Can’t have a conversation
Should put you in a cage
Before you fuckup again Kid

Disgraced, degraded, deplored, dominated 
Diminish, demeaned, defamed, humiliated 
Discredited, devalued, denounced, subjugated
Denied, debased, detained, incarcerated  

Oh, here comes the devil again
And he’s wearing his crown
Here comes the devil again 
Pretending to be your friend
In an invisible gown

Shut Down

I am a frozen statue, watching seasons come and go, feeling changes, doing nothing, forever...
Last movement of the rock symphony, where I pay tribute to, and play, my mom's spanish guitar.
Main theme (bass E1-A1...E1-A1-E2...), appears all along the album, and also main themes of other 3 movements sound here as refrains (Vienen y van / Hora tras hora) which are thus sung over 4 different musics ;) E-Ruizzo project is finished, what's to come?... below translated lyrics.

SE NOTA (PRIMAVERA EN EL POLO)  /  ONE CAN FEEL IT (SPRING AT THE POLE)

Se nota… después de seis meses  /  One can feel it… after six months
el sol amanece y se nota…  /  the sun dawns and one can feel it …

En el despertar del zorro ártico,  /  In the awakening of the arctic fox,
en el fluir de los glaciares se nota.  /  in the flow of the glaciers one can feel it.
En el nacimiento de icebergs,  /  At the birth of icebergs,
en los acantilados poblados de aves.  /  on the cliffs populated by birds.

Vienen y van, no me hacen caso,  /  They come and go, they don’t listen to me,
soy sitio de paso.  /  I’m a transit point.
Hora tras hora, los meses pasan,  /  Hour after hour, months pass through,
un sitio de paso soy.  /  I’m a transit point.

Se nota… como cada mañana,  /  One can feel it… as every morning,
que la primavera ha llegado al Polo.  /  that spring has come to the Pole.

Se nota…  /  One can feel it…

En la migración del narval,  /  In the migration of narwhal,
en el aliento del viento,  /  in the breath of the wind,
en las nubes que huyen de él, se nota.  /  in the clouds that run away from it, one can feel it.

En el canto de las sirenas,  /  In the singing of mermaids,
en las inflorescencias de hielo,  /  in the inflorescences of ice,
en el paso del noroeste se nota.  /  in the Northwest Passage one can feel it.

Vienen y van, no me hacen caso,  /  They come and go, they don’t listen to me,
soy para todos un sitio de paso,  /  I am a transit point for all of them,
(soy) una estatua de hielo (soy),  /  (I am) an ice statue (I am),
(soy) una estatua de hielo (soy).  /  (I am) an ice statue (I am).

Vienen y van…  /  They come and go…

¡¡¡ La frecuencia diaria del proceso estacional  /  The daily frequency of the seasonal process
me permite hacer estudios estadísticos !!!  /  allows me to do statistical studies !!!
Ja ja ja ja ja ja jaaaa !!!  /  Ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaa !!!

Vienen y van…  /  They come and go…

Hora tras hora, los meses pasan,  /  Hour after hour, months pass through, 
nuevos migrantes, nunca se cansan,  /  new migrants, they never get tired,
(soy) una estatua de hielo (soy).  /  (I am) an ice statue (I am).
(soy) una estatua de hielo (soy).  /  (I am) an ice statue (I am).

Hora tras hora…  /  Hour after hour…

Se nota…  /  One can feel it…

Now all 44 songs I wrote with mom's guitar in my university years have been arranged and posted, 
after 8 years of E-Ruizzo project, which I'm about to finish. I plan to stay here, commenting as 
usual, and post future and still not scheduled songs from another profile. That's all, no alarm!

Released on Teknofonic Recordings: teknofonic.com/

Go go go
Then: no no no 
Always: me me me 
Oh fuck you, sweetie

Reality or TV show?
Am I the void or in the zone? 
It’s hard to tell
When everybody yells

Better not talk to me 
I got my own crazy 
Better not talk to me 
I got my own crazy 
Better not talk to me

I need to come back down 
Don’t even think I’m high 
All the lost girls and boys 
Just make some noise
To rise, to rise
It’s paradise
I need to come back down 
Don’t even think I’m high
I never lose my poise
A shaking voice
Surprise, surprise
In paradise
I need to come back down 

Come back down
Come back down

Fun fun fun (Fi-Fa-Fo) 
Or: none none none 
Just: me me me
And fuck you, sweetie

Better not talk to me
Reality or TV show?
Better not talk to me
Am I the void or in the zone? 
Better not talk to me
It’s hard to tell
When everybody yells 
I got my own crazy

I need to come back down 
Don’t even think I’m high 
All the lost girls and boys
Just make some noise
To rise, to rise
It’s paradise
I need to come back down 
Down
I need to come back down 
Come back down
I need to come back

I might as well yell like everyone else yells 
Aaaah!

Just make some noise 
To rise, to rise
It’s paradise
I need to come back down 
Don’t even think I’m high
I never lose my poise
A shaking voice
Surprise, surprise
In paradise
I need to come back down

Come Back Down

"A pilgrimage is a journey, often into an unknown or foreign place, where a person goes in search of new or expanded meaning about the self, others, nature, or a higher good, through the experience. It can lead to a personal transformation, after which the pilgrim returns to their daily life."

Pilgrimage

I always name my wav files a weird name when I'm mixing and then change it later, however this time I thought I'd keep it just as it is!

Help me

Written and recorded 3rd January 2021

My first jam and recording session of the year... another song based on an improv with my bouzouki, which is the main rhythm instrument in this track.

After a difficult year, and a socially distanced Christmas and New Year, the only solace is knowing that we are doing what we can to keep each other safe.

Lyrics:

These darkened days
We've stayed away...

A small price to pay
To keep each other safe

No face to face
No meeting place

A small price to pay
To keep each other safe

We'll join again
Some glorious day

A small price to pay
To keep each other safe

Safe

Nat Daniels:  Vocals
Ben Juul:  Drums, Mix & Master
Dirk Taubenheim:  Guitars, Bass, Keys, Vocals

Written & recorded at Gatsby's Garage 2020

A million thanks to Nat for her gorgeous vocals here. This song is for the soldiers who risk their lives for us and get nothing in return but mockery. We hate war and want our boys back home. But those who fight for us deserve respect and recognition.

Politicians sent our boys to war
to a place they've never been before
I'd like to send the old guys instead
to make them think about a senseless death

Hey, this is no game, you have no right to waste their lives
hey, have you no shame, you wouldn't dare to be on the other side

Defend their country - that's all they should do
but there is so much more you send them through
how can you make them fight in foreign lands
cause you know pretty well how that will end

Don't leave them alone
bring our boys back home

Badly traumatised when they return
rejected by the people makes them burn
they risk their lives but mockery's all they earn
will the politicians ever learn?

They deserve respect, please act like that and honour them
give them all they need to find their way in life again

Don't leave them alone    
bring our boys back home

Home  ft. NAT DANIELS

Martin contacted me with the title of the song in his mind...he wanted me to put his excellent acoustic recording track with some lyrics.
I was glad to offer my ideas and the result was a true folk song of modernity.
I hope you enjoy our collaboration.
