Mi historia entre tus dedos - Mi Karma Gonzalez

I wrote this song after reading a quote from the surrealist writer Jorge Luis Borges:

“A man sets out to draw the world. As the years go by, he peoples a space with images of provinces, kingdoms, mountains, bays, ships, islands, fishes, rooms, instruments, stars, horses, and individuals. A short time before he dies, he discovers that the patient labyrinth of lines traces the lineaments of his own face.”

Here's to the full life.

@dave-McKeown: thanks Dave, for your brilliant contribution.
It makes all the difference!

[rough translation]
LOW HORIZON
wander with me all winter through the white frosted country
let us leave some traces in heather, polder, grassland, dune and beach
from Faith Hill to Baren Field
from Harm Wood to Chuckle Brook
take me to your heart, wander with me to the edge

wander with me all winter and tell me what you know
about this piece of earth that’s named to our first impressions
The Fire Timber or Leaf Fen
Shimmer Canal or Mill Dam
striking are the names that you nonetheless will soon forget

This is us
This is us, dear
dotted lines on the cold ground
I see you
I see you there
in the twilight on the path
on the low horizon

wander with me all winter, map out this land
roads, bridges, people, animals, anything you discover here
from Faith Hill to Baren Field
from Harm Wood to Chuckle Brook
isn’t it a mystery that reveals itself to us?

This is us
This is us, dear
dotted lines on the cold ground
I see you
I see you there
in the twilight on the path
on the low horizon

[Dutch lyrics]
LAGE HORIZON 
dwaal met mij de hele winter door het wit berijpte land
trek met mij een spoor door heide, polder, weide, duin en strand
van Geloofshoop tot Barreveld 
van Griefhorst tot Schaterbroek
haal met mij je hart op, dwaal met mij tot aan de rand

dwaal met mij de hele winter en vertel me wat je weet
van het stukje aarde dat naar onze eerste indruk heet
’t Vuurhout of Bladerven
de Glimvaart of Molendam 
beeldend zijn de namen die je ook weer zo vergeet

Dit zijn wij 
Dit zijn wij schat
stippellijnen op de koude grond 
ik zie jou
ik zie jou daar
in de schemer op het pad
aan de lage horizon

dwaal met mij de hele winter, breng met mij dit land in kaart
wegen, bruggen, mensen, dieren, alles wat je hier ontwaart 
van Geloofshoop tot Barreveld 
van Griefhorst tot Schaterbroek
is het geen mysterie dat zich aan ons openbaart?

Dit zijn wij
Dit zijn wij schat
stippellijnen op de koude grond
ik zie jou
ik zie jou daar
in de schemer op het pad
aan de lage horizon

There follows a Party Political Broadcast by the UK Independence Party…

We have local and European elections here in the UK next week and as often happens, many will protest against the present national government by voting for a minor party instead. Unfortunately the party that stands to benefit from this in 2014 is a little-englander, turn-back-the -clock, collection of opportunists called UKIP. They are a one-man-band led by Nigel Farage, a kind of Jeremy Clarkson with less hair, a used car salesman kind of politician. They would like to stop immigration and pull the UK out of the European Union, and all their other policies are designed to instil fear and suspicion of anything that isn't white, middle class and born in England. There is no place for people like this in modern mainstream politics. However, if you have a vote next week, and you do indeed want a miserable future, then go ahead and vote UKIP.

This track features the rhythm guitar of Barney Cockell and the lead solo is by Joe Reynolds. We teamed up through the Soundcloud Easter Tombola, a bit late with our submission, but keeping it until now makes it topical! Thanks for your patience Barney. You can hear more of Barney's music at https://soundcloud.com/barney-cockell

Vote UKIP (for A Miserable Future), Dave McKeown with Last of the Dark Hearts and Joe Reynolds

Joy Spring by Clifford Brown has long been a favourite jazz standard of mine, one of those tunes that uplifts, a perfect reflection of its wonderful title.

I suggested making a version to Derek and he came back with this wonderful arrangement; his feather light acoustic guitar and easy swing tempo are a perfect counterpoint to my clarinet. It's a lovely combination and one that comes as close as I've come to capturing the elusive spirit of this sweetest of jazz tunes. 

Clifford Brown died at the age of 25, pretty typical for a jazz musician in the '50s you might say. The tragic irony is he bucked the trend, was famously clean-living but died in a car accident travelling between gigs.

Please listen to more of Derek's brilliant music at https://soundcloud.com/derek-cornett

Was a good idea 
But it didn’t work try something else 
Can you think of anything better than messing with my mind 
Is this how you show love 
Is this how you show respect 
Watch me I’m gonna take all of my lovin’ back 

Yeah Let’s ride the tidal wave together 
We’re as good and as bad as eachother 
You’ve got your head on wrong 
And mine’s screwed too tight 

It’s a good idea but it’s never gonna work 
I just don’t like you that much 
I just want to make it hurt 
I could be nice but 
Fuck it I don’t wanna 
Why do you have to be such a loser baby 

Well I’ll try to ride the tidal wave together 
We’re as good and as bad as eachother 
You’ve got your head on wrong 
And mine’s screwed too tight 
Yeah Let’s pretend we’re in love with eachother 
That the skies are blue forever 
That you just didn’t twist it just to save yourself 

Yeah Let’s ride the tidal wave together 
We’re as good and as bad as eachother 
You’ve got your head on wrong 
And mine’s screwed too tight 
Yeah Let’s pretend we’re in love with eachother 
That the skies are blue forever 
That you just didn’t twist it just to save yourself 

Huh I’ve got to give you credit 
You keep it up 
You keep up all the lying no matter how many times I catch you out 
You keep it up 

Yeah Let’s ride the tidal wave together 
We’re as good and as bad as eachother 
You’ve got your head on wrong 
And mine’s screwed too tight 
Yeah Let’s pretend we’re in love with eachother 
That the skies are blue forever 
That you just didn’t twist it just to save yourself 

Yeah Yeah Let’s pretend we’re in love with eachother 
Yeah Yeah Let’s pretend we’re in love with eachother 
Yeah Yeah Let’s ride the tidal wave together 
Yeah Yeah Let’s ride the tidal wave together

A new collab with the wonderful artists Ylva and Dave! Thank you so much for your fantastic music! I'm honored having you by my side in this song...

Shoemansky - Alone (feat. ohsowhy & Dave McKeown)

I love this old Hoagy Carmichael song, I always feel an emotional buzz from its simple and direct lyrics wherever and whenever I play it. Right now, it has a special meaning and so it's time for a new version, time to dust off the bass clarinet and make a quartet arrangement.

غنوة ما بتكملش - محمد محسن

Here is a beautiful song written and performed by http://soundcloud.com/anj-7 from Germany with a few subtle additions by the wonderful Michelle Eaton on piano and myself on clarinet. 

Anjù writes brilliant songs that are simple and direct. There are no pyrotechnics. She manages to imbue them with the deepest of emotions with the pure and intimate tone of her voice and impeccable phrasing and timing. Meanwhile, Michelle just captures the dark melancholy of this song perfectly on the piano. Just such a pleasure for me to be involved with such talent. 

Like the Sea, Dave McKeown with Anjù and Michelle Eaton

قالولى هان الود عليه ونسيك وفات قلبك وحدانى 

رديت وقلت بتشمتوا ليه هو افتكرنى عشان ينسانى ؟؟


‫هان الود عليه‬. محمد عبد الوهاب

ضايع منى إزازة الميّه 
و مش راضية الطيّارة تطير 
راح الصبر و رجع الصبر 
و تعب القلب و لسّه كتير!
آه يا تى شيرت العمر يا أبيض
لفيت بيك مشاوير مشاوير 

أملك صورة انا فيها صغيّر 
شكلى اتغير ما عرفتوش 
كان فى جيوبى مكعّب سكّر 
داب السكّر ما لقيتهوش !!
و اما اتقطعت منى الساعة 
وقع الوقت لاقيتنى كبير !

أعرف واحد قال لواحد 
اهمل صاحبك و اقسى عليه 
واحد قال للواحد نفسه
انت مزعّل صاحبك ليه ؟
واحد حاول يعرف واحد 
طلع الواحد صفر كبير !

بلاك تيما - مكعب سكر

The House Of Sleep

عرفت الهوى مذ عرفت هواك.. وأغلقت قلبي على من عداك
وقمت أناجيك يا من ترى.. خفايا القلوب ولسنا نراك
أحبك حبين .. حب الهوى.. وحبا لأنك أهل لذاك
فأما الذي هو حب الهوى.. فشغلني بذكرك عمن سواك
وأما الذي أنت أهل له.. فكشفك لي الحجب حتى أراك

Disclosure - You & Me (Flume Remix)

Southside Deep

I am a working full-time musician, teaching, performing, composing, recording and arranging, and my gigs in the last few years have included jazz combo, big band jazz, folk, Irish traditional, rock, soul, latin, klezmer, funk, orchestral, chamber, minimal techno, musical theatre and more, so, safe to say, I’ll have a go at anything. 

I'm a firm believer in demolishing boundaries between genres, cultures, languages and ultimately people, and Soundcloud is a terrific place where all this can happen.
