"O'leno town": ghost town on the Santa Fe, a swinging bridge built in the 1930's is still there.  

Roll On, River   c. 2023 by Mike Manetz

V. 1
The river was Timucuan,
Before the comin' of the white-man's gun.
'Neath the giant cypress trees,
They fished the river wild and free.
Spanish priests came one day,
Taught the natives how to pray,
Named the river Santa Fe,
River watched them fade away.

Chorus
Roll on, river,
On and on forever,
She'll be rollin' on when we're all passed and gone.
Through centuries of hopes and dreams,
Conquistadors, fools and thieves,
Roll on, river,
Roll on,
River, roll on...

V2
Cracker cowboys took control,
After driving out the Seminole.
Their cattle on the muddy banks,
Would feed the hungry rebel ranks.
Black man runnin' to be free, 
Down the Santa Fe on to the sea.
Midnight paddle down to where,
A Yankee gunboat's waitin' there.

Chorus

V 3  
Lovers at O'Leno town,
On a swingin' bridge they're lookin' down,
River rushes there below,
Like a thousand years ago.
Their kids will play computer games,
They'll forget the history and the names,
But the river holds the memories,
Of all she touches, all she sees...

Chorus




Their kids will play computer games,
They'll forget the history and the names,
Of all of those who came before,
Guess it doesn't matter anymore...

Centuries of hopes and dreams,
Conquistadors, fools and thieves,
All they left is all but washed away,
Their kids will play computer games,
And forget the history and the names,
of all of those who came before,
They don't care much for that anymore...

Roll On, River

THE TEMPEST

L'Arbre des Âmes pourrait être l'endroit le plus sacré pour certaines peuplades, et leur permettrait de communiquer avec leurs ancêtres, ou faire l'objet de certains rituels .... 
Son accès est souvent interdit au étrangers ....
À quoi ressemble-t-il? 
Je vous laisse l'imaginer en écoutant ce nouveau concept.

***************************************************************************************************

The Tree of Souls may be the most sacred place for certain peoples, allowing them to communicate with their ancestors, or be the object of certain rituals .... 
Access is often forbidden to outsiders ....
What does it look like? 
I'll let you imagine as you listen to this new concept.

Me Pardonneras - Tu  (Will you forgive me) By Wildsilences & Zitou Itou

OK. I've reverted to unmastered file... In my opinion that what automatic mastering done was horrible... Nevertheless, you can listen to it here and form your own opinion:
https://on.soundcloud.com/4FZJcJWpyocL1aPx7

No A.I. involved. Only me, keyboard, recently bought sustain pedal, free Soundpaint Piano with built-in shimmer reverb, some compression and Ozone 9 Elements on master channel set to jazz.

Little theme I've conceived on evening May 27th after watching the last episode of "The Devil's Hour". Simple melody and chords... a draft. Let's say it's a version 0.5 ;) Half improvisation, half interpretation of something that came to my head 30 minutes earlier. Lots of hesitation, a bit mistakes, two edited notes on ending of first part... and the double ending ;) I'm still human, and a bad keyboard player ;) Recorded in one take.

FIRST SNOW (Lyrics)
Verse 1
I said; hey Doctor,
 I don`t feel fine.
I do not drink
 and I never get high! 
Verse 2
You are a university graduate.
Wearing the white coat.
What do you recommend?
I´m sure you`re a clever and wise man. 
Verse 3
Please send me to rehab.
Or what should I do?
I'm going round in circles.
I can't find peace for me too.
Verse 4
I'm not drunk.
I am sober.
I don't do drugs.
I hate the stuff.
Do you have anything that does the trick?
Give it to me!
Pre-Chorus 1
It must be good if you recommend it!
I fell for it.
I trusted him.
It's hard to believe.
Bad medicine, it was like my first snow. 
Verse 5
Good that I am strong.
I know it was so wrong.
I am so scared.
Practically I took snow!
Verse 6
I can't sue him.
His intentions good.
Still, I feel betrayed.
He gave me the first snow.
Practically he gave me snow.
Pre-Chorus  2
It must be good if you recommend it!
I fell for it.
I trusted him.
It's hard to believe.
Bad medicine, it was like my first snow. 
Bridge
Now I will feel very bad.
I will always be sceptical.
From today and forever, no more trust.
I can hardly believe what has happened.  
It blows my mind. 
Blows my mind……
Outro
Oh no Doctor!
You gave me snow!
Oh no Doctor!
You gave me snow!
It blows my mind.
It blows my mind.
He gave me snow.

All Hallow's Eve (Nightmareless)🎃🖤

Hey don't forget who you are
Don't forget your face
Its not Halloween
Its Hallow's Eve

I don't know who I am
I don't where I've been
Human junk!!
Just words and so much skin
Stick my hand through the cage
Of this endless routine!!
Just some flesh caught
In this big broken machine!!

Hey don't forget who you are
Don't forget your face
Its not Halloween
Its Hallow's Eve

Its' Hallow's!!

Nadine de Macedo x HoboCop - All Hallows Eve 🎃

Eyes closed, riding waves of sound. The wind sweeps the window, merging with the rhythm. The violet spirit danced!

Analogue Pulse

'perhaps, the best...'

Baby, unfortunately you have gave me
no choice but to leave you,
'cause you're crazy.
Indeed, at once it was 'maybe.'
But, now it is definitely 'no.'
Although I am sad to see you go.
And wish you all the best.
I still love you.
And always will for what you've been to me.
Eternally. 

I pushed you through your spare room window
and never left.
You made me poutine, burned your arm and had sex. Perhaps the best...

perhaps, the best

Today’s #MusicalMinute is a busy track with lots going on.  The main melody is an inversion of an earlier one, and it is struggling to be heard amongst all the clutter and artefacts of previous tracks.  However, if this was a commentary of current events, what elements do you think it should have?  What do you think?
