Breaktime!

Efflorescent

Forget about the past and remember the future

Saturn's Rings

This song is a sonic example of taking a psychedelic trip. It rises and rises, hits a suspension where everything cuts out and the light of the synths create a hypnotic drawl that falls back into the rhythm creating a wavy trance like visuals during a trip.  Eventually all the sounds slowly fall back down to just the bare bones. Or rather coming back into reality. 

Sun Bells

Energetic, dark, heavy, optimistic,  and ethereal

Unfurled

Inspired by the playa. Written in Seattle. Simmered for nearly two years.  have a sip.

Open wide

the harmony
no harm can be 
done when you
just let it be

Time a funny thing

Lyrics: 

This is it isn’t it
What we worked for minutes into hours 
Days and years
Through the anger fear and tears  
What we dreamed about gazing at the stars
 Making up stories about the future called ours
Cruising down the road  in the city at night
Underneath the gorgeous glow of the  city lights
With you by my side it always felt so right
No worries, no hurry always taking our timer

Time is a funny thing
You never really know what it is gonna bring
Moment to moment always in between 
Past and future memories hopes and dreams
The scenes play out but the images remain 
Of happiness and love regret loss joy and pain
Changing constantly but somehow the same
Working and building a lifelong frame

I got it in my mind but I can’t quite make it fit 
Restlessly arranging all the letters in the alphabet 
 Anxiously waiting for a bright  idea to hit 
Taking much longer than I’d ever care to admit
The way you make me feel is a little bit absurd
Like The fuzzy weird feeling that I get with the herbs
variety's spice of life but I want you all the same
I’ll take all the credit if you need someone to blame

It wouldn’t be life it something wasn't in the way
Let me show you the scenario play by play
For everyone there comes a time Where they gotta choose
Their direction and path, what they gain what they lose
You had an opportunity to go score your goal
To kick the winning punt between the two forked poles
That night we talked for hours and  it was hard find
Common ground to stand on and see eye to eye

Time is a funny thing
You never really know what it is gonna bring
Moment to moment always in between 
Past and future memories hopes and dreams
The scenes play out images remain 
Of happiness and love regret loss joy and pain
Changing constantly but somehow the same
Working and building a lifelong frame

The day finally came when it was time for you to leave
It was a late fall day and I felt like all the trees 
After the cold winds blow and they lose all their leaves
Baren branches wishing they had cover from the breeze
It was bitter sweet If I had to  say the least 
I wanted to say more but you said to me please
Don’t make this harder than it already has to be
I love you dearly and it was who taught me how to be free

Time is the strangest thing
You never really know when its gonna sting
Moment to moment always in between 
Past and future memories hopes and dreams
The scenes play out but the images remain 
Of happiness and love regret loss and pain
Changing constantly but somehow the same
Working and building a lifelong frame

Life Long Frame

This is a beat for someone who wants to Rap over it. yeeee.

I mean you could sing over it too..

If nothing it is groovy

Azure ( free beat for collaboration )

Very happy to release this Collobaration with *Thommo*!

Upon hearing his music and especially his collaboration with @vizualye I definitely wanted to see where it would go.  From the moment I messaged him he crafted a quality beat In like, I swear it was only a few hours.  

I added some live elements and the vocals and sent it back to him and he mixed it all up into this final piece. We even collaborated up to the Art! I fashioned *thommo*'s sweet headphone logo onto my head. You should definitely follow in suit and put the music of @thommo_tunes into you heard and drift off into a musical paradise hehe. 

If you like what you hear feel free to give a shout out for collaborations!

Lyrics:

When an unstoppable force 
Meets an unyielding object 
All bets are off 
On your mark ready set
Go if you know To remember to forget 
Everything you were ever told About lead turning gold
Lyrical alchemy
Empirically Clear to see
Feel and hear Verifiably 
No need To bring A theory 
When you feel me 
Whenever you and near me
And my energy coming through the 
Air clearly

If you want to learn you can mirror me
Don’t let fear hang and linger like an earring 
If you tear it off clean it will sting
But it is critical for healing
Steering a ship into shores in sight nearing
Harbors full of people cheering
And waving, anticipating 
What you found beyond
The sky line sailing
a sky high chance of failing
Dancing through waves raging 
Laughing at the siren song wailing

Surrounded by a stream of information
Losing myself in the vibration
Wave forms making me lose inhibition 
It’s my mission to mix matter with the 
vision of alchemical solutions
That can shatter these collective delusions
Diluting our roots in defective excess
That dulls our soul until there's nothing left

As a matter of fact
The fact is this 
Success is not guarenteed
It is hit or miss.
No second tries
3rd 4th 5th or 6th
If you lose your balance
Salutations to the pit
Get your ass into gear hit the gas now steer 
Keep its straight and steady hardly any room to veer
Congratulations you’re the captain now
Celebrations when we get the hell out of here

Don’t think about what you had to leave behind
Break apart the tape to escape the need to rewind 
In time you will understand why 
But for now keep your mind tight and your eyes wide
Hide the weakness creeping down your spine
Try to breath deeply keeping peace in mind
Find your feet proceeding in a straight line
Ride the beat let the tempo speak 
Metronome is key let it sync 
Find the wavelength and the strength to survive

Because everybody needs you to be alive 
You’re tied to our hearts and you’re part of our light
These days we can’t afford to lose any more pieces of our core
We may be cornered but we can still fight
may the lord bless our plight and grant a faint shimmer in the night
Even a spark would do, just anything we could use
To raise our flame brighter and hotter and higher
Until we light the way with a blazing fire

Surrounded by a stream of information
Losing myself in the vibration
Wave forms making me lose inhibition 
It’s my mission to mix matter with the 
vision of alchemical solutions
That can shatter these collective delusions
Diluting our roots in defective excess
That dulls our soul until there's nothing left

I am very please to be able to collaborate with Skyline Tigers. I have always really liked her work and it is really cool to have a finished track with here influence on it!  

Please go see her page at https://soundcloud.com/lisa-p-442529239. The vocals are from her track Lullabies in Space: https://soundcloud.com/lisa-p-442529239/lullaby-in-space

*Thommo* @thommo_tunes also made a version of this track that is quite sensational: https://soundcloud.com/thommo_tunes/lullaby-in-space-original-by-skyline-tigers-remixed-by-thommo

LYRICS:

Here we are we're traveling round in space
moving slowly through the Milky Way
In a space ship looking out into space
see the amazement on each others face

I put extra in terrestrial 
New textures in a world gone dull
Infections lectures that protect
Your head from feeling miserable 
So do indulge in my impulsive, bold 
And wholesome gold
Coming out speaker cones
From a world unknown
Where the aliens roam
Where the air is never cold
Where the stars are born
I’m coming down from who knows where
To show you that theres more out there
Vast beyond your wildest dreams
It’s all waiting for you if you dare
So take my hand and I’ll take you far
We will be dancing among the brightest stars
Washing our worries in a meteor shower
Skating on the ring around Saturns heart

We are, among the stars
traveling so fast, we are
Among the Stars

It’s okay to be intimidated
Its not everyday you’re in a spaceship
Seeing once distant constellations
At speeds beyond imagination
ugh
So say good day to Milky Way
Our destination is a ways away 
My suggestion is for you to stay
Collected and calm
As we ride this wave
While we glide through space
While we dine on tastes 
Exotic to your native land scape 
Break any notions of your new found fate 
For what awaits is nothing short of great
Face the facts theres no need to go back
This path is packed with action and that 
Which will crack your conception and 
 Stretch your perception I’m betting
This will be something you won’t be forgetting 
As long as you heart beats and spirit is living
As long as the charge keeps firing your engine
We’ve gone star leaping and we’re not found quitting
We’ve gone far creeping past black holes spinning 
Our strong arms steering this boat to the finish 
To a place where matter never gets diminished
 Your race won’t believe what things are hidden 
In the middle of the end thats just  beginning 
A riddle of the bend in space that is giving 
Life to the rest of everything that living 
 the bright   crest of energy that is lifting 
The weight of eternity as it is shifting 
Through dimensions upwards of eleven
Everything that is ever known and is written 
From the deepest roots up to the highest heaven

Can you feel it coursing through you 
This force profound raw and new
Charges from purest form of energy
Lighting up your essence till your soul is free 
So take this final step into the beyond
Where your questions are answered before they spawn
Where everything meets and where it says so long
Where the meaning of life is a never ending song

We are, among the stars
traveling so fast, we are
Among the Stars

See you space cowboy...

Among The Stars (ft. Skyline Tigers)

All Things Are Possible.

It is with a heavy heart I release this song today. I usually don't put things besides what I have been doing in the alternative rap/hiphop vein of sounds. However, I just wanted to share this because of a recent event. Thought it might be cathartic to release this into the world. 

I had a terrible misunderstandings with one of my best friends who I've been friends with for a really long time. All of a sudden she decided to completely cut me out of her life.  

I'll be the first to tell anybody that I am far from a perfect human being and that I make mistakes, but this was so uncalled for I was left in a horribly sad and shocked state.. Complete disbelief in what had just happened. 

No need for gruesome details.. But this is my Goodbye letter to an amazing human and friend who I care about incredibly deeply, and always will

Lyrics:

I hope you know I would never try to hurt you
I only want whats best for you
And I know I can careless, pushy and mean
But It’s only because of the pain underneath

I have no excuses 
I should have been better 
I’ve already done the damage
This is my goodbye letter

You taught me, so much about myself 
You understood me like no one else
 It couldn’t have been easy to deal with someone like me
So I understand now, why you should be free

I have no excuses 
I should have been better 
I’ve already done the damage
This is my goodbye letter

 I can’t believe this is how it ends
Cut off and no chance to mend
So with tears I seal 
My goodbye letter

I have no excuses 
I should have been better 
I’ve already done the damage
This is my goodbye letter

No Excuses (Goodbye Letter)

Blueprints

The keys to heaven are hidden it
your skull your thoughts all there within

Hidden Within

This is one of my most important songs. I made it around 6 years ago. It tells a story of a Unicorn that must keep its loves safe from the forces of darkness.

UNTAMED  (prod. 2013)

wow. WOW. It is released. It has been "finished".

This has been one of the most challenging and rewarding collaborations to date. Interesting as *thommo* (https://soundcloud.com/thommo_tunes) was the first person I ever collaborated with over soundcloud. Our first track "Alchemy" kind of just fell together within weeks.  4am not only took over a year but has 3 very different versions.   The first version was 6 minutes long, very fast and the lyrics were much darker.  The second had the same lyrics but the beat was much different. 
*thommo* and I started going in different directions and we both kind of threw our hands up. My communication dropped off due to life changes. *thommo* every now and then would send a message reflecting on wanting to revisiting the track but I was consumed with a far different life than I was living the first time we collaborated. 

However, *thommo* kept pushing on this track and eventually sent me the first draft of this newest version and all of the excitement and passion jumped alive. It was the best of what both of us saw the tracks potential as.  

So HERE WE ARE! Full circle with our completed collaboration ready for your listening enjoyment.  From EllE of Cycle of Hands and *thommo* we bring you: 

4 A.M.

lyrics:

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

4am (*thommo* and EllE)
