2018 Year End Roundup Of Great Music

Jan Playlist

I'm usually so busy with creating that I don't get around to appreciate all the great music that is out there in the SC community like I should, for which I humbly apologize.... so while I had some down time I wanted to put together a little playlist of some of my favorite pieces from some artists that I have worked with and some that I haven't. I picked songs that I both liked and I thought really showcased the talent and diversity each of these artists have. I hope you enjoy... this is truly from me to you wonderful people!!!!!

Great works from the artists of SC #1

Lyrics by Robert Johnson:
Vampire lady
you make me feel

Vampire lady
you make it real

A touch from your hand
you make me feel like a man

Vampire Lady
With your black leather dress
You cast a spell on men
your power they can't resist

Your eyes are like fire 
your heart is like ice
your lips promise pleasure
but they are just a device

they give you control
you put their hearts in a vice
and squeeze the blood from them
and you think its divine

Vampire Lady
Set me free

Vampire Lady
I'm on my knees

Vampire Lady - Goth Rock

Lost Perceptions From This Point Of View

New City, Arrival

Verse 1

I am the lonely man
devising my next exit plan
a month into a one night stand
and I know it's time to leave

She wanted love that lasts
collecting pictures of the past
infatuation fades real fast
then you know it's time to leave


Chorus 1

I said I loved you but I lied 
all the hearts I steal I hide
I will not reveal the side of me..
that you can't see



Verse 2

A long, long time ago
I loved a girl I didn't know
she took a bow, it was a show,
you know looks they can deceive

I sang her all my songs
she took my love the she was gone
I hope she finds where she belongs
in the land of make believe


Chorus 2

she said "I love you" oh she lies 
she broke my heart and testified that
"I will not reveal the side of me..
that you can't see

Chorus 1

I say I love you but I lie 
all the hearts I steal I hide
I will not reveal the side of me..
that you can't see


Verse 3

I am the lonely man
playing in my one man band
living here in lonely land
and I know it's time to leave
I know it's time to leave
I know it's time to leave

Time 2 Leave

Lyrics:
I heard you crying in the rain
like a babe without it's maid
you keep on trying to get home
but there's a path that leads to Maine

you broke your heart but then you swore
to love the calmness in your mind
I tried to help you see my name
but then the tears streamed through your eyes

you say you want to save the world again
but you made your bed and now it's in a loop
you called my name at all times of the night
and I called out for you to set things right

You send for me when all your options are dry
you send for me when you have nowhere to hide
you track me down by your pitiful cry
and I respond to you but have to ask why

Send for me

Dark Side Of The Force

Do I need to wear my hair up? Do I need to wear glasses so that you'll respect me? Are women only taken seriously when they put forth an unpleasant personality? ...... Okay, I'll put on the glasses.... but maybe you'll regret it once I see how you really are.

Here is a joyful pop sound about a serious subject.

Verse:
Oh, you say to stay right here ‘cause
Nothing better can I find.
And, you say I don’t act smart.
They don’t respect me for my mind.
Chorus:
I put on my glasses if it makes you feel better: 
seeing so clear each number and letter.
Put on my glasses : mental correction,
crystal clear view of each imperfection.
Make me put my hair up; you can pay dearly.
Looking through the lenses I can see clearly: 
better than I ever could. I see that you’re no good
Verse:
Oh you say that I’m too nice. 
You can’t win if you’re so kind.
And, you say what not to wear. 
Men won’t respect me for my mind.
Chorus:
I put on my glasses if it makes you feel better: 
seeing so clear each number and letter.
Put on my glasses : mental correction,
crystal clear view of each imperfection.
Make me put my hair up; you can pay dearly.
Looking through the lenses I can see clearly: 
better than I ever could. I see that you’re no good
Bridge:
I thought my world was clear enough.
I thought my world was clear enough.
I thought my world was clear enough when I couldn’t see.
Colors blurry, faces smooth – the way that they should be.
Chorus:
I put on my glasses if it makes you feel better: 
seeing so clear each number and letter.
Put on my glasses : mental correction,
crystal clear view of each imperfection.
Make me put my hair up; you can pay dearly.
Looking through the lenses I can see clearly: 
better than I ever could. I see that you’re no good


Reflection:
How many more celebrities and politicians will come crashing down because of the way they treat others? It's time to stop this!  
Respect women for their minds!
Stop the disrespect!
Stop the objectification!
Stop the harassment!
Stop the assault!

If you actually read this far then God Bless You! You are very important to us!

Put On My Glasses

Challenge was to make one of my shorter songs with one of my longer lyrics, so I 'had' to craft it into an amalgam of 9/4 and 4/4 signatures. Thus, it may feel crazy on verses but I hope also catchy on refrains.

Letra / Translated lyrics:

Sólo pido no tener deseos (Ya no quiero imaginar)  /  I ask only not to have desires (I don’t want to imagine anymore)

¿Puedes explicarme qué es lo que me pasa?  /  Can you tell me what happens to me?
Señor, llévate de mí esta confusión.  /  Lord, take away this confusion.
Quítame el don de la inteligencia,  /  Take the gift of intelligence from me,
pues si no pensara tanto, sería feliz.  /  because if I didn’t think so much, I would be happy.

Siento que este mundo me es extraño,  /  I feel this world is strange,
estoy a disgusto con mis sentidos.  /  I get displeasure from my senses.
No puedo comprender su funcionamiento,  /  I cannot understand their functioning,
ni siquiera amoldarme a él.  /  nor even get used to it.

Sólo pido no tener deseos,  /  I ask only not to have desires,
ya no quiero imaginarme nada.  /  I don’t want to imagine anything anymore.

Esta situación siempre es pasajera,  /  This situation is always temporary,
pero se repite una y otra vez.  /  but repeats itself again and again.
Este malestar de cuerpo y alma  /  This discomfort of soul and body
me hace desear dejar de ser.  /  makes me wish to stop being.  

Pienso entonces en todos los que me quieren,  /  Then I think of all those who love me,
o al menos en los que a veces lo parecen…  /  or at least about those who sometimes seem to…
¿Por qué es tan difícil la coexistencia  /  Why is coexistence so difficult
en medio de una sociedad inteligente?  /  in an intelligent society?

Sólo pido…  /  I ask only…

No deberías dejar pensar a algo imperfecto,  /  You should not allow something imperfect to think,
sino limitarlo a cumplir su función social.  /  but limit it to fulfilling its social role.
Sólo quiero ser un engranaje más, señor,  /  I only want to be one more cog, Lord,
en tu rebaño de almas, sin preguntas.  /  in your flock of souls, without questions.

Esta vida que me has dado, señor,  /  This life you have given me, Lord,
me tortura, de modos insospechados,  /  tortures me, in unsuspected manners,
a buscarle un sentido a mis dudas,  /  to look for a sense to my doubts,
lo cual, tal vez, sea precisamente su fin!  /  which, maybe, is precisely its purpose!

Sólo pido…  /  I ask only…

Sólo pido no tener deseos (Ya no quiero imaginar)

My songs are like buses.......nothing for ages, then a bunch in quick succession!
When Hiroshi hinted to me that he would love to collab, I was delighted, as I very much admire his work! In due course I sent him a song, which he liked and said would be fun to work on.
Usually I keep my acoustic in my songs, as it is the backbone, keeping the rhythm and vibe. Hiroshi has replaced this with a fantastic bass which stays true to the original acoustic riff. From there he meticulously built it up and had the unenviable task of having to deal with my complex vocals. He said it was quite a challenge to organise the instrumentation , especially due to its unfamiliar combination between melody lines and chords, and to the unusual time signature at the beginning.
Thankfully he enjoyed the task and threw himself wholeheartedly in to it, which I think you will hear for yourself, as it is a powerful and dynamic  piece of work....and the guitar solo Epic!!
Thanks so much Hiroshi for all of your hard work! Listen to more of his fantastic work soundcloud.com/aerogene

Come on Tell Me ( feat aerogene070)

You came in glowing like you
Have made up your mind
Told me excited with sparks
Gleaming in your eyes
That you have something truly
Important to tell
It is nothing to worry
About all is well

Clueless of what was about to befall
Eager to know I wanted to hear it all
You took me past the point of no return
Some things my dear love are better left unknown

Don't you know it, darling
Love is a pleasure and then it ceases to be
What I need is, darling 
Someone who doesn't reveal all his cards to me

Don't you know it, darling
Why on earth would you divulge your secret to me 
What I need is, darling
More like a riddle wrapped in a mystery

I'VE HIT THE MOON, LOOKING FOR YOU
IF YOU SEE ME SHINING IN YOUR LIFE,
PLEASE DON'T BE FOOLED

MAY'BE I'LL FALL, WAY BACK TO EARTH
BUT LIVING ON THE OTHER SIDE IS JUST A STEP AWAY

I THINK I'VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
I GUESS THE WRITINGS ON THE WALL
I'M HEARING YOU, YOUR HEARING ME
BUT NOTHING TO SEE

MAY'BE WE WILL FALL, LIVING IN TWO WORLDS

I'M HYPNOTIZED, THE BEAUTIFUL LIES
THE BLINDING WORDS THAT I CAN'T HEAR
BECAUSE I FEEL ALIVE

I THINK I'VE HEARD THIS SONG BEFORE
I GUESS THE WRITINGS ON THE WALL
I'M HEARING YOU, YOUR HEARING ME
BUT I CAN'T BELIVE

MAY'BE WE WILL FALL
LIVING IN TWO WORLDS
MAY'BE WE WILL FALL... FALL

MAY'BE WE WILL FALL

Taken To Heaven

Texte français et Google traduction

QUI SERAS-TU MON ENFANT ?

Je caresse ton ventre, comme on caresse la vie.
Déjà son attente me semble infinie.
Tu te marques d’une rondeur
Qui serait indécente,
Si tu n’étais une jolie fleur
Ou une bien belle plante.

Je caresse l’espoir, comme on caresse la nuit,
La vigueur d’un soir chassée de l’ennui.
Tu me donnes la fièvre
De celle qu’on supporte.
Quand ce sont des beaux rêves
Qui frappent à la porte.

Qui seras-tu mon enfant ?
Un coquelicot des champs
Où une rose des vents ?
Viens nous vite on t’attend.
On manque d’impatience,
Ta vie est une chance.
Encore un petit mois
Et on te serre dans nos bras.

Je caresse ta lumière, comme on caresse le feu
Closes mes paupières, je te vois bien mieux.
Il me donne des coups
Et de pieds et de bras,
Dans ton ventre, il se joue
Et s’amuse déjà.

Je caresse mon désir, comme on caresse le jeu.
Des instants de plaisir qu’on ne fait qu’à deux.
Le temps paraît bien long
Comme une éternité,
Pour perdre un ventre rond
Dans une maternité.

Qui seras-tu mon enfant ?
Un coquelicot des champs
Où une rose des vents ?
Viens nous vite on t’attend.
On manque d’impatience,
Ta vie est une chance.
Encore un petit mois
Et on te serre dans nos bras.

CHORUS

Dernier refrain.

WHO WILL YOU BE MY CHILD?

I caress your belly, as you caress life.
Already his expectation seems infinite to me.
You show a roundness
Who would be indecent,
If you weren't a pretty flower
Or a very beautiful plant.

I caress hope, as we caress at night,
The vigor of an evening driven from boredom.
You give me fever
From the one we support.
When these are sweet dreams
Who knock on the door.

Who will you be my child?
A field poppy
Where a wind rose?
Come quickly, we are waiting for you.
We are impatient,
Your life is a chance.
Another little month
And we hug you.

I caress your light, like we caress the fire
Close my eyelids, I can see you much better.
He hits me
And feet and arms,
In your belly, it is played
And already having fun.

I caress my desire, as we caress the game.
Moments of pleasure that we only make for two.
Time seems very long
Like forever,
To lose a round stomach
In a maternity.

Who will you be my child?
A field poppy
Where a wind rose?
Come quickly, we are waiting for you.
We are impatient,
Your life is a chance.
Another little month
And we hug you.

CHORUS

Last refrain.

QUI SERAS - TU MON ENFANT (L'attente d'un être cher)
