California (In your shadow)

I remixed my "Kick that Bass" song because the lyrics and vocals of Cecilias Song "Spinning Spinning" fits were well to my Drum & Bass track. Hope you also think so. Best sound with bass headphones :)

Turn Up That Bass (Spinning Spinning) - OMCB ft. Special Cecilia  [Music Video]

Our Time
By David Husted

Listening to an old song
Made on an old four track player
That old cassette tape
Hiss, fizz, click and waver
Holding back my sweet melodies

But in my mind's eye   
guitar don’t sound so bad
I hear more high end, yea, 
It's coming in clearer now
Nothing gonna hold back my sweet melodies

Listening to an old song
Made on an old four track player
That old cassette tape
Hiss, fizz, click and waver
Holding back my sweet melodies

chorus
This is our time

Verse 

With a little less running on empty now
That tape hiss, click, fizz is
Something I actually mix in
It just feels better
Just a touch for a new song's edge

chorus

And when my mind hisses like a old cassette tape 
or a VHS or crackling short wave, don’t give in; live through it
This is our time

Bridge

when that new dawn follows you
Throwing paint against that wall 
Could be crap; it could be art
Like a Lost and hungry dog
gnaws your pant leg; starts to growl
Until a melody  
Lands


Chorus

And through this new song
This World don’t look so bad
I hear more high end, in it too
It's coming in clearer Than my old tapes ever do   
Our time


about the song:

My purchase of a four track player in 1989 was the best purchase I ever made because it opened up a whole new world of music creation potential. I thought the sound quality of my productions back then sounded incredible and it is so interesting to listen back and hear how "bad" they sounded when referenced against "today's" digital environment and which we take so much for granted today. This song was NOT made on a four track player, however, I did try to emulate the sound of degraded tape hiss in certain sections of the song for effect. Looking back, the weaknesses of my early recordings had a tremendous endearing quality to my ears and I attempted to capture that feel and sentiment in my new song "Our Time". The song has both a certain sad/nostalgic feel upfront and then transitions into a happier/uplifting and moving arrangement at the end. Enjoy the song and Thank You.

Our Time

Violette

Looking through the blue-platted glass
Pink space capsule
Flight suit's black
Doesn't matter anyway

Don't worry you're okay
There's steps that you can take
To avoid complications

Staring down the pit where she crashed
High heel space boots
Kickin' up dust
Fuckin' up the Milky Way

Violette it's okay
'Cause you can work all day
You'll make calculations

Black screen, white noise
Transmission not received
She cancelled all the frequencies
Hit Ctrl Z
Catastrophic complete loss of all...
All vital information

Can you hear us okay?
We hope that you will stay
In communication

Gazing up at orbiting trash
Junk atmosphere
Who cares?
It's an empty vacuum anyway

To make it feel okay
At this point we must say
Take your self-medication

Violette does the sky look black
In the moonlight, or are you alright?
White sky and blue clouds above
So high

Everything'll be okay
If you look at it this way
You'll love isolation

Big Bang, bright stars
Code red
Her last report
Says contingency is incomplete
Her contingency is incomplete

We thought you knew our cyanide pills
Were an urban legend
Just open up your mind
Remove your helmet
Go to heaven

Violette (Tetsnical / Chris Monaco)

Encore une fois j'ai pris l'eau
Ça m'apprendra à faire le beau
Heeding the call of fuego
Should have waited and stayed low

If I get there for nowhere
Then I won't bother anybody
I won't even get a little notice or nothing
Le plaisir de rendre service et
Benefice d'avoir le vice et
Au revoir les enfants

C'est trop tard, j'suis parti
Il est l'heure d'arrêter
J'en ai marre, j'l'avais dit
Le bonheur envolé

Systématiques gros sabot
Montrent leur nez très tôt
La gymnastique de l'égo
Nous fait croire à tous les scénarios

If I get there for nowhere
Then I won't bother anybody
I won't even get a little notice or nothing
Le plaisir de rendre service et
Benefice d'avoir le vice et
Au revoir les enfants

C'est trop tard, j'suis parti
Il est l'heure d'arrêter
J'en ai marre, j'l'avais dit
Le bonheur envolé

Je suis un produit du collectivisme, Préparé, emballalé, et bien servi
Ça va, oh-lala, et autres clichés, le croissant et la baguette et les rois fromagers
C'est gé-gé
Je n'ai jamais rien eu, de bien spécial, 
Les m'as-tu-vu s'étalent et c'est légal encore que
Si on regarde bien, ce que ça veut dire, cette histoire là
Y'a rien qui sort du lot et qu'on retient c'est comme cela

Si vous ne voulez pas de moi, ok je pars
Mais je ne reviendrai pas de si tôt
Le plaisir de rendre service et
Benefice d'avoir le vice et
Au revoir les enfants

Je suis un produit du collectivisme

Je suis un produit... Je suis un satané produit

C'est trop tard, j'suis parti
Il est l'heure d'arrêter
J'en ai marre, j'l'avais dit
Le bonheur envolé

The Letter                                    Janine Levinson 2020

Guitars by @unearth-noise

 “Sticks and stones can break my bones
But words can never hurt me.
Well enough to be left alone,	
I try to get up early.

“It’s been a hard luck life for sure;
I never I found you.
Substitute these working hands and industry
For arms around you.

“I’d like to think I’d know your face.
I’m bettin’ you were pretty.
Sarah girl, you would want to know
I’m keeping myself busy.

“It’s been a muddy row to sow;
I kept your letters.
And this old balding tired smile pulls the plow
For something better.

“It’s no use to wonder, 
If I had I might have found
Another love, another life, but
Words from you were like my plow --
They unearthed my roots
And brought me water.
A thirsty and unbroken vow: 
I would never plow you under.
 
“Sticks and stones, my earthly bones,
Tell me that you’re happy.
Tears to seal the envelopes
As I stand wide and sturdy.

“It’s been a hard luck life for sure.
I never I found you.
Substitute these working hands and industry
For arms around you.”

UNITED FOR LIFE

Hey, inspired by @soul2souluk here is a party mix of @specialececilia beautiful acapella Wonderful Woman.  Soul II Soul changed everything with soul music if you were there you know!!

Enjoy!!

WONDERFUL WOMAN **CECILIA & RICØ **SOUL II SOUL -  PARTY MIX

Conquering and ruling cultures often oppress those they dominate. The oppressed, and those with less power, will always eventually seek justice, representation, and equal power from their subjugators. Those whose culture have been vilified, repressed, and appropriated can regain their power and love by learning about their past, choosing and identifying their cultural heroes for themselves, and restoring their appreciation and celebrations for their ancestors.  

May this song encourage an honest look into your past, acknowledging both the shadow and the light, appreciating the beauty of what was and is, and learning from accomplishments and mistakes to continue our evolution in becoming better co-creators with the planet.

I used some of a bass stem Alpha Roots sent me to make Red Earth Clay and I used the rest of the stem to make Sow Your Seeds. I have one unused bass and drum stem from Alpha Roots that I will make an old school hip hop song with and I may remix his original Hosanna bass stem one day to make a new reggae song. I may also ask Russ if I can make a version of Da Weed using Alpha Roots’ stems one day. After that, I may be complete unless I get gifted some Alpha Roots stems to play with. 

Huge thanks to Chiefo who set the original tone of this song which gave me inspiration for  the lyrics. Big ups to Fady, bit zone, and Lady of Fire Poetry for joining in on this project and adding their collective vibe. Massive thanks to Wou-Wou & the Wormling for keeping the track on skank with his rhythm guitar and for providing us with his incredible art work - commission him for some work y’all!!! And massive thanks to Russell and the Chaos Cookhouse for mixing and mastering these stems into the huge dubbed out joint that it is. Hit Russ up for his mixing and mastering services now!!!

Lyrics:

Know your roots and your culture 
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey 
Rock your roots and your culture 
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey 

Get to know your roots and your culture
Who you be now 
Know your history now 
So you can see now 
Where you wanna sow your seeds now 
Where you wanna sow your seeds now
Hey ey ey
Hey ey ey 

Gonna build on that which went before I 
Try and build on that which went before I 
Never knew who I was 
Dem try and control my 
Never knew who I was 
Dem try and control my
 Destiny with suppression and lies 
Deny that my ancestors were wise 
Revise my story with your wicked eyes  so others will despise 
And overlook the great civilizations that my people built 
Likewise likewise likewise

Unaware of history your destined to repeat it 
Only hear deceitful stories and we’re likely to concede to it 
Take away the leaders from our culture to unseat it 
Take away our dreams from our spirit to defeat it 
Replace dem with your poor role models and everyone believes in it 
Replace dem with your hopelessness and everyone perceives it 
But Jah lion shines bright in us and we only need to see it 
Jah lion is shining bright in us and all we need to do is reveal it
