I close my POTENCIAL BIÓTICO album with this contemporary revival of a philosophical song I wrote 19 years ago when my grandpa died.

Could describe it as a requiem for guitar quartet, 2 voices, rhythmic base & church bell (you may know the piano version at https://soundcloud.com/esemanolain-ruizzo/sets/piano-sessions-2012 album).

A mostly slow piece with lotta soul and no artistic ambition (but a little ‘Pros&Cons’ air to the end ;).

Church bell sound built with kind help by https://soundcloud.com/spyro9474

Letra / lyrics:

Miedo al cambio,  /  Fear of the change,
incómodo trabajo;  /  uncomfortable work;
molesto planteamiento:  /  annoying approach:
no me gusta lo inesperado.  /  I don’t like the unexpected.
  
A lo mejor es que no estoy acostumbrado  /  It is probably that I am not used
a ver las cosas cambiadas de sitio.  /  to see the things moved from place.
Ver a la gente irse al otro lado  /  Watching people going to the other side
es duro si piensas que todo  /  is hard if you think that everything
será siempre lo mismo.  /  will be always the same.

Ay, lo mismo ...  /  Ay, the same thing ...
ah, lo mismo ...  /  ah, the same thing ...
ay, lo mismo a mí...  /  ay, the same to me...
  
No he sabido reaccionar,  /  I didn’t know how to react,
atrapado en mi infantil ilusión   /  trapped in my infantile illusion
de que nada cambia,  /  where nothing changes,
ah, tengo que darme cuenta de lo que pasa,  /  ah, I must realize of what happens,
ay, tengo que salir de esta caja.  /  ah, I have to go out of this box.

a lo mejor es que no estoy acostumbrado  /  It is probably that I am not used
a las sorpresas de la vida,  /  to the surprises of life,
a nuevos planes que no había planeado,  /  to new plans I had not planned,
no me acostumbro a considerar  /  I don’t get used to consider
una opción distinta.  /  a different option.

Ay, distinta ...  /  Ay, different ...
ay, distinta ...  /  ay, different ...
ah, distinta a mí,  /  ah, different from me,
a mi pensamiento,   /  from my thought,
a mi forma de ser,   /  from my way of being,
a mi manera de verlo...  /  from the way I see it...

THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETIMES IN YOUR LIFE
YOU'RE TAKEN AWAY FORGETTING TIME

WHEN A FAVORITE SONG COMES TRUE
WHEN IT TOOK THIS WORLD APART
AND IT TAKES ME BACK TO YOU
CAUSE THE MUSIC NEVER STOPS
WHEN MY TIMELINE CHANGED WITH YOU

WE CELEBRATE EVERY YEAR OF OUR LIVES
FORGETTING TIME AS THE MUSIC GO'S BYE
THE DAYS WILL COME AND LEAVE US BEHIND

WHEN A LOVE SONG RUNS FROM YOU
YOU CAN CHANGE THAT LONELY HEART
AND IT TAKES ME BACK TO YOU
CAUSE THE MUSIC NEVER STOPS

words and music by K. Gennery
image not my own

We got away from the city, hitched a ride on an old rusty bus.
Set up camp by the river side, dug a deep hole and
that's where we lit our fire, sat and watched embers in the night sky.

The summer breeze turned into a hurricane,
the shallow river began to rise.
With a point of a finger and a high pitched yell,
drew my attention to the wishing well of darkness,
think we've found something in the water, something in the water.

Don't don't you scream, don't you move too fast,
cause I know the answer to staying alive it's to slip away easy
and stay real quiet, stay real quiet.

We got away from the city, hitched a ride on an old rusty bus.
It was never mentioned we made our pledge,
to stay real stum about the thing at the rivers edge,
and what we found, something in the water, something in the water.

CAN'T SEE MY WAY BACK HOME

MY ONLY HOPE IS TO FIND YOU......

I HEAR YOU'VE BEEN CALLING MY NAME
GUESS YOU'VE HEARD THIS SLOGAN BEFORE

TAKE GOOD CARE

BUT IT'S SO FAR
THE DAY'S IN LIFE ARE GETTING SHORT

Dave
********************
 
I became curious about the arrangement development and transition process that different artist use during the course of a song.  The main question I was dealing with was what are the subtle things a composer does to keep the song interesting throughout the entire song arrangement? 

Human Beings like repetition but not duplication.  What I mean is that we like to grab hold of a catchy melody or rhythm and desire coming back to it a couple of times throughout a song. However, we notice when it’s an exact copy of something we have heard earlier in the song (we are very smart creatures).  I have been guilty of copying an earlier verse or chorus and plopping it note for note down later in the song…DON”T DO THIS.   It is important to add something new, different and exciting as the song progresses.   Give the listener something new every step of the way.   During this song I learned from other artists who are very good at this and tried to emulate some of their techniques.      

I continued my study of sampling during this latest musical project.  What better genre than Electronic Dance Music (EDM) to showcase the technology.  This song is called “Be All You” which rolled off the tongue so easy and blended so well with my particular groove established early on in the song.  As is typical with EDM you will hear plenty of tension building synthesizer magic teamed up with EDM traditional “four to the floor” kicks.  This partnership often ending in pregnant pauses or nail biting drum fills foreshadowing what is famously known in EDM as the “Drop” where all that tension explodes into an epic Chorus eruption.    

I used software known as Kontakt for the sampling.  There is a lot under the “hood” here and I have much to learn.  I used my own voice as the experimental fodder and basically split it up into slices and mapped them to my keyboard keys.  Then, via special algorithms in the software, essentially “time stretched” my voice to my songs own tempo.   This process maintained the rhythmic integrity to my voice slices despite the pitch changes (remember; typically if you bring something up in frequency it wants to play faster .....the chipmunk voice effect….I did not want that).   You can hear examples of this “vocoder” like effect sprinkled throughout the song.  What fun.  

SO who cares about all this technical crap anyway.  They key is that the song has to hold up on its own and actually be GOOD.  I believe I have achieved that as I noticed I want to dance when I listen to it.  You will have to decide for yourself ; )   Thanks Again for listening and please enjoy my latest "all original" musical plunge. 

Thanks for allowing me to share my music creation process with you and hope this inspires you to create something new yourself.

LYRICS
Be All You 
by David Husted 

Everyday through the pain, it might be lonely 
Can You Circle Love? 
Can You Show Me How? 

Looking right past the trees, the moments in-between 
Can you read my mind? 
Can You Show Me How? 

Everyday turn the page 
Who Are You? 
Breaking Through, Be Amazed 
Be All You 

Might be lost through the fog, I hear the snow falling 
Can You Feel My Love? 
Its never gonna fade 

Nothing ever stays the same, you got to let it change 
I think it's how Love Grows
Never let it go

Perfect Storm

Be All You

the in-between

Ground Zero 
by David Husted 

When you find your answers can you tell me how? 
I’m still searching and I haven’t found 
It’s time to take a stand, say what you believe 
the un-named heroes gather on the streets 

You would speak your mind, but you don’t know how 
you would fan the fever but you don’t know how to climb 
crooked ladders toward a better day 
past the rising seas and that bitter sweet way home 

Ground Zero (never give up or give in) 
it’s time to say what you believe 
gather around your un-named heroes ; (my heroes) 
arm in arm we’ll take the streets 

When you find your answers can you tell me how 
I’m still searching and I haven’t found a way through. 
I’ll take the road beside you 
It’s time to take a stand; say what we believe 
with the un-named heroes gathering on the streets 
We’ll find our, Our Ground Zero 

Ground Zero (never give up or give in) 
it’s time to say what you believe 
gather around your un-named heroes ; (my heroes) 
arm in arm we’ll take the streets 

and when you survive the days 
and when you survive the nights 
thats when you’ll find ground zero 
thats when you’ll know ground zero 

Ground Zero (never give up or give in) 
it’s time to say what you believe 
gather around your un-named heroes ; (my heroes) 
arm in arm we’ll take the streets 

My BLOG:

How is it Going;   This song, "Ground Zero",  is the final song on my new album "Perfect Storm" released in Apr 18.  This whole package was created in a little over one years time and I enjoyed every step of the process along the way.   This particular song was arranged after I listened very carefully to music I currently like already out there in the world.  As I listened, I methodically picked apart the structure of some of my favorites (deep listening).   I then, very carefully, focused on some of the sound tones and effects I liked in certain songs selected.  I  attempted to emulate and construct some of the sounds via synth design techniques and a little bit of sampling.  I could go into a lot more detail but I will not bore you.  Again, the most important thing is the "song" itself; melodies, lyrics  and rhythms.   Enjoy the music friends and thank you for listening.

Thank You

Dave

Fifty Three Degrees
By David Husted
a link to the video: https://youtu.be/oAv-lnq8ngQ

When I look back at my eyes
They may be fifty three year old
They call it Grand Theft Auto
I call it racing down this road

I feel my heart beat
Keep it under control
The scent of rain sizzling on the street
It seems the steam rises up to greet me  

I hear the tick tock
I'm running out of time
I hear the gun shots
I may be losing my mind

Blue and red rise up behind me
Siren sings, that voice , that voice reminds me

And when I scream at the sky
It's the silence that hurts me
and when the needle pegs that line
Race past a love still burning

I hear the boots kick; crackling inside my head
These rattling bones hear your voice
Rise up behind me
Siren sings, that voice , that voice reminds me
 
BLOG:
The image above provides a visual representation of my song's structure.  The bright green strip across the middle of the image above is a very cool sounding synth pattern that travels the length of the song.  You can clearly hear its mesmerizing tones in the intro to the song.   This pattern became its backbone with the drum/bass, in red, a prominent second supporting structure.  The pattern never stops except for one small break in the middle. A sequence that does not change throughout the entirety of a song is dangerous but a challenge I love to work with.   
 
            I was able to accomplish this by slowly building the tension as the song progressed, adding various instruments  to dance with the backbone and various "sweetener" effects in yellow  to add dissonance and further play with the tension.  I especially like the addition of the guitar (in pink) to the chorus which used an amp pre-set called "Cheap Combo" that just worked for me. My vocals are shown in blue and mostly organically formed out of the rhythms and mood I was feeling emanating from the main chord structure and rhythms.   This song has a darkish atmosphere and a fair amount of edginess.   My vocals have more delay than usual because that's just what I was feeling when I wrote the lyrics.  
 
            I love to look back at my project after all the pain and joy of creation is over.  The image you see above is an end state and I promise you that the formation state was much uglier, full of wrong turns and plenty of dead ends.  The song you hear was cultivated out of the murky soup of my mind and all the particular content blowing through my skull at that particular moment.   With every turn I also make new musical discoveries that bring sparkle to the process and a never ending sense of wonder and delight to me.  Some of the names of my sweetener sounds make me chuckle; "Echo's ill factor", "Demon Choir" , "Ash Decay" and "Squawk Box" and I'll leave it to you to pick them out of the song as you listen to it. 

             This song was called "Sirens" as that is a frequent repeated phrase in the chorus.  However, I have discovered that about a million other artist also have a song named "Sirens"  Therefore, as of this very second of writing,  I have decided to rename the song "Fifty Three Degrees" just because I feel like it.  How is that for creative license.   
  
             Until next time; Happy Creating and Thanks for Listening!

Fifty Three Degrees

This track is an original ambient binaural electronic organic tripped out instrumental journey and was inspired by watching the film Decent and a recent adventure to the mysterious Crank Caverns in Rainford UK on a clear but cold day and reading up on the caverns myth and history dating back to at least the 15th century with supposedly a subterranean church and weird cannibalistic goblins roaming down there in a labyrinth of caves and caverns! 

The surrounding countryside and area is familiar to me since childhood, so i was rooting about near the caves for treasure like you do haha and i spotted a dark looking hole tucked away in the embankment close to one of the caves and thought to myself this looks interesting and not a rabbit hole so i found a fist sized rock close at hand and rolled it down, i suddenly realised this was a very deep hole and i nervous rush of vertigo speed through me as i realised i was over it by my self in the middle of nowhere! 

I soon moved away and then went home for a lie down haha and ended up having the most strangest of dreams were i was falling down that hole as the vertigo took over me and pulled me to another world which started off at the local supermarket as i emerged from the deep dark watery cave from a door into the cake and biscuits aisle and then somehow ended up on the planet Mars ripping the sands up on a real mint Quad bike chasing a fantasy ocean as i kept on falling in a dreamy slow motion through time with everything rushing past me flowing like liquid at light speed seemingly forever but there were no goblins just spacial oceans, euphoric energy's and maybe one or two aliens! haha

Let your imagination run wild and i hope you enjoy the journey there is also an SC interactive VR edition for a more immersive journey on the link above! Have a safe new year everyone and many thanks for all the kewl support! Cheers Peace! :)

I HAD THIS DREAM, IT WAS LONG AGO
A MEMORY, OF A LOVER SONG
I REMEMBER WHEN WE FELL INTO THE GRASS
AND AFTER SCHOOL IT WENT SO LONG

BUT IN THAT DREAM, THE WORLD WAS ONE
NO MEMORY, MAY'BE TIME STOOD STILL
I REMEMBER ROCK'N AND DANCING TO THE SHOW
AND EVERY WEEKEND WENT SO FAST

DON'T WAKE ME NOW I'M HEARING YOU
IF ONLY NOW, THE WORLD STOOD STILL
(break)
I FELT PEACE, IN MY HEART AND SOUL
A MEMORY, IN A SONG FOR LOVE
I ONLY HEAR YOU IN THE PHOTOGRAPH
AND TIME STOOD STILL THERE FOR SO LONG

DON'T WAKE ME NOW I'M HEARING YOU
IF ONLY NOW, THE WORLD STOOD

When I appeared at the end of the 1980s as a wannabe- Klaus Kinski and "party scare" with Rimbaud and Villon texts on birthday celebrations, I always had the wonderful poem by the German cabaret artist and writer Hanns Dieter Hüsch "Ich sing` für die Verrückten" (I sing for the Crazy) in my repertoire. 
That is a long time back, but a few weeks ago I was jamming on guitar and percussion with some members of the "Berliner Irrenoffensive" as part of my voluntary work. And in this creative and crazy atmosphere this poem came to my mind again. I translated central parts of it into English and added some small language elements matching the melody and the sound of the song.   
The result was this track, with which I want to bring the deeply sensitive and timeless lyrics of Hanns Dieter Hüsch into memory and even more into the world. And with which I would like to contribute to even more understanding for the often so hard fate of people with serious mental disorders.   

Lyrics:

I Sing for the Crazy

I sing for the crazy
the sideways twisted
those who fall forward one day
unnoticed by everyone

Sit in their kitchens
not to be of use
to any world view

Who roam cities for days on end
without any sense
who throw themselves from the steeple
spice the world up with laughter

And for death in time 
ring their own bells

Those who hurry with trains
to stay nowhere too long

Who know every farewell at close hand

Because they call life goodbye

Who are hired out on the ships
and sing songs with the kids

Those who seek and never find
and disappear from the face of the earth at night

The guards are ready with jackets
in order to pack
the stray ones in the right way

Jumping friendly on roofs
and who die
In the great deserts

The skull already full
of broken pieces

The sand will soon cover all traces

Who push their way through
the raw thicket

Sore and sick rubbed by madness
who look through the jungle of all souls

All that dizziness on their back
I sing fort he crazy

I sing for the crazy
sing for the crazy
sing for them all

Sing for the crazy
sing for their peace 
sing for their souls

Aaaaaaah
sing for the crazy
sing for them all

I Sing For The Crazy

lyrics:

strolling down the street i knew so well
when i was a boy and made my way to
school

and the school was closed long time ago
because bleeding us dry nowadays seems to be
cool

we create new dead end towns

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
don't let it get you

young people turned their backs on that one way street
and all the factories are rotten but you built a new town
hall

and the color of the town slowly turned into a grey
like the face of a forgotten but the cemetry is pretty
green

a field of broken dreams

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
don't let it get you

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
you know i still love you
don't let it get you

Here comes the noise again
it's creeping in my head
reminding me
of all the things you said


In the brightest light
you see all your life
it's a picture of 
me and you

Stood on the great wall again
chasing dreams in my  head
spell bound
by the girl in red

In the brightest light
you see all your life
it's a picture of 
me and you

In the reflected light
when the time is right
it's a chance for
you and me

reached out my hand again
feel the steel in your veins
driven on 
by a burning flame

In the brightest light
you see all your life
it's a picture of 
me and you

In the reflected light
you can see
right through everything
through you 
and me
you and me

In the brightest light
you see all your life
it's a picture of 
me and you

In the reflected light
when the time is right
it's a chance for
me and you

Lyrics:
ECHO CHAMBER
by David Husted

V1
the hand coming round it just won’t stop
Here Comes the After Shock                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
that's just where my mind defaults
truth; an imposition
 
Birds of a certain feather flock
Sweet; lies to cling to 
Can you find a way to make it stop? Drip, Drop
Normalized mind rot

Pre-Chorus to Chorus

He’s cast a spell on you
He keeps you so amused 
Running scared, Unaware, Flinching at the Nightmare’s
Echoes
     
 V2

I think the evidence is clear
fear…….wins elections
infect the body politic (tock)
Divide and Conquer
I know they never realized 
So Lost in echoes   streaming Big Fat Bold Face Lies

Pre-Chorus to Chorus

He’s cast a spell on you
He keeps you  so amused 


He’s cast a spell on you
He keeps you so amused 
Running scared, Unaware, Flinching at the Nightmare’s
Echoes

Chorus Outro rap

He Cast a Spell on you
So confused
drowning in the fake news
mind bending
heart wrenching
tearing down the fabric
of decency, peace you see
is fading in wake of greed and
hatred, naked 
and stone cold bigotry




I am back with a new musical offering.  This song is called Echo Chamber.  It is edgy and unique. 

Here is a link to the Music Video: ECHO CHAMBER: https://youtu.be/LosbLJpmGrA.  We must listen beyond humanities incessant noise and cruelty for that quiet space between the echo where courage, strength and good-will bubble just below the surface ready to rise. A world cacophony rendered mute by a love so bright you can't help but be thawed and tempered in her slow alchemical, warming embrace.   

This song speaks for itself and conveys what I feel at this particular moment in history.               

Do Not Despair My Friends and Never Give Up 

Peace

EVERYBODY'S GONNA HIT THE GROUND
GOT A TICKET TO A GREAT BIG SOUND
AND THE SIGN SAYS RAIN HAIL OR SHINE

NOTHING'S EVER GONNA MAKE ME STOP
DANCING ROCKING LIKE THE BLITZRIEG BOP
THERE WILL BE ROCKING AND ROLLING ALL NIGHT

YOU KNOW IT MAKES ME WANT TO FLY
WHEN I'M ROCKING IN THE NIGHT
AND IT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE
I'M HEARING SOUNDS I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE

WE MIGHT END UP DANCING WITH THE COPS
ROCKING ON TO THE JAILHOUSE ROCK
AND THE JUDGE SAYS ROCK ON ALL NIGHT

YOU KNOW IT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE
WHEN I'M ROCKING IN THE NIGHT
OH I MUST BE HYPNOTIZED
I'M HEARING SOUNDS I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE

EVERYBODY'S GONNA HIT THE GROUND
GOT A TICKET TO A GREAT BIG SOUND
AND THE SIGN SAYS RAIN HAIL OR SHINE

YOU KNOW IT MAKES ME WANT TO FLY
WHEN I'M ROCKING IN THE NIGHT
AND IT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE
WHEN I'M ROCKING IN THE NIGHT
OH I MUST BE HYPNOTIZED
I'M HEARING SOUNDS I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE

ROCKING IN THE NIGHT - (see info for video link)

It was a no brainer for me to include this classic song on my cover album. Made famous by Marvin Gaye and CCR. The song’s “hook” has always taken up a little space in the song memories floating around in my brain. Hope you enjoy.

I am always trying to be more neutral and nonjudgemental in my experiences of myself and others. 

Just so you all know, I am healthy, happy, and doing well. Life is good for me. I am very blessed. 

Sending nonjudgemental listening and witnessing out into the world. 

Big thanks to DeeP for passionately inviting me to join in on another project and choosing the perfect beat for me to channel the shadow muses. Huge thanks to Russ for laying down the cool experimental guitar work and taking a break from mixing and mastering duties.

Lyrics:

She was found alone dead in her bed
27 years and already dead
He went and took one straight to the head
And it took 3 days before any knew he was dead
She was introverted 
Lived reclusive
Took the path of seclusion to her conclusion
After leaving prison  
An impoverished condition was the state he lived in
Without any of his friends and fans in the ending

In the ending
In the ending
In the ending 

Without anyone around in the ending 
Without anyone to love in the ending
Without anyone who cares in the ending
Without anyone with prayers in the ending

I’m thinkin’ a popping the pills again, again
I’m fixin’ ta shoot up my veins again, again
I’m drinkin’ away my will again, again
I’m sinkin’ into a hole again, 
Wastin’ my life on a dream that always pending
Hating everything that I waste all my time making 
Who am I kidding I’m nothing I’m just pretending 
Everyday digging my self a little bit closer to the ending
 
There were moments when the pain went away
When the weight of life didn’t seem to weigh
Fleeting moment suggesting to stay  
While the rest of life was pushing towards dismay  
Feeling hopeless
With misguided purpose
Constant pursuing with nothing ever accruing 
Is just worthless 
What’s the meaning of being around others when
Others are really only attending to mending their own feelings in the ending    

I don’t care, I don’t really care, I don’t give a fuck, I don’t give a damn, 
I don’t give a shit

Lyrics

Verse 1
Hold on, it's a long way down
Haven't been there for so long
It's a simple life when you're living on your own
so don't pick up the telephone (cell phone)
It's you and me again
so hold on.....

Chorus
Strangers, in this life
We're strangers, we're just finding our way
We're strangers, it's just you and me
We're strangers and I can't stay

Verse 2
So low, at the Sundowner Cafe
You're a bright light in the darkest place
Your stage name is all I need
So don't pick up the telephone
It's you and me again
so hold on.....

Chorus
Strangers, in this life
We're strangers, we're just finding our way
We're strangers, it's just you and me
We're strangers and I can't stay


Outro

We were hangin out at the sundowner when everything would change
for you and me

We were hangin out at the sundowner when everything would change
for you and me

We were hangin out at the sundowner when everything would change
for you and me

We were lost in the night, you and me

We were strangers....

'Mistakes' is nothing more or less than a simple love song. Melodic and a little bit edgy, just like Cindy and me. Alt rock meets dream pop. Thank you everyone for listening and supporting Para Lia!

lyrics:

i found you waiting in the backyard
of my selfmade house of cards
you are like the sunrise that breaks the dark

all my mistakes led me to you
we are riding with the past into something new

my broken road is filled with ghosts
and some of my steps left potholes in my soul
it's a fine line between love and pain
you're touching my mind, you keep me sane

all my mistakes led me to you
we are riding with the past into something new
it's long overdue

Mistakes

Greetings Earthlings,
Here is David Husted's latest original song called "A Telegram from Aliens".   
Aliens from outer space may be watching your planet and determining whether you are collectively sane or insane and deciding if this planet should be saved or annihilated.
I am pretty sure you know which way the scales are currently tipping but give Dave's song a spin to find out more late breaking news on this topic at this link.

LYRICS
A Telegram from Aliens 
by David Husted 

Intro: 

Verse1: 
Scent of spice on the trade winds 
Sound of sea and the wind howling…. 

…..Listing starboard toward Orion 

Ozone and roots in the fabric 
of field and stream the last Rhinos dream…. 
And then fade away 
…………………Fade Away 
Ch: 

…..You know we are better than this 
…..You know we are bigger than this 

{instr} 

Shake off my mind's snakes and cobwebs 
We're moths pining towards burning flames 
Imagine a Telegram 
…..from Aliens…… …….that says 

Ch: 
…..You know you are better than this 
…..You know you are bigger than this 

{instr} 

Bridge: 
Humans think they're so fantastic 
I think they might be Plastic 
bet they taste like burnt toast 
and salted concrete 

They're enigmatic 
Clattering fanatics 
They lie , they cheat, they steal, they kill 
Take Earth for granted 

They huff and puff, 
never shut-up 
Galactic Council says 
Prob best to zap them 
…………………………… 
But every now and then I see compassion 
Every now and then I see such kindness 

The most extraordinary ship of fools 
They make it so difficult for us to choose 
Throw them in a tasty stew with garlic, pepper, salt and truth 
Others say, let them stay 

hope maybe they'll find a better way; I pray 

To Love……………To Love, To Love , To Love, To Love 

Verse 2: 
Her family, past the Pleiades 
She's traveling on a cosmic plain 
She sleeps beneath 
The lathe of heaven 

Today a passenger on a sleeping train 
Sipping whiskey with a fine Green Sage 
Who brewed Ayahuasca with a 
Poetic Naturalist; He said 

Ch 
……. know we're better than this 
She smiled, waved goodbye, I'll try, "you're better than this" 
……. know we're better than this 
She smiled, waved goodbye, I'll try, "you're better than this 

Outro (Verse harmonic) 
Imagine a Telegram 
…..from Aliens

A Telegram From Aliens

Talk To Me 
  Music : Brian Wilson (https://soundcloud.com/rexgoliath-1) 
  Lyrics & Vocals : Tainted Icarus
 
Lyrics:
I remember the way you felt
Whispering in my ear
With a laugh and a smile it was good all the while
So long as you were here

I remember the night you came home
And said this had to end
It all crashed down, burnt to the ground
And I could no longer pretend

While I cry talk to me
While I cry talk to me

Cant you see
it's not the way is should be
at least from where I stand

While I cry talk to me
While I cry talk to me

Talk to me

I remember sitting back to back
On a summer afternoon
It was the only way to keep our hands at bay
And save us from our doom

And I remember your heart as it cracked
As those words escaped my lips
And I deeply regret and i cannot forget
But that's a long ago sailed ship

While I cry talk to me
While I cried talk to me

Cant you see
it's not the way is should be
at least from where I stand

While I cry talk to me
While I cry talk to me

Talk to me

Notes: 

Sometime ago I found this wonderful music piece by Brian Wilson titled, Talk To Me (https://soundcloud.com/rexgoliath-1/talk-to-me).  After a couple of weeks I reached out to Brian to see if he would be game for me doing some writing and singing.  

In an effort to keep this short and to the point.. it was a wonderful experience to try to push and prod the vocals into place... trying to get them into the same room.  Lots of tweaks and moves in very small increments to get to this place.

As is customary with my work... is it perfect..no.  The lyrics have been pushed and prodded in an effort to maximize meaning and reduce chatter.  I feel Brian wrote a piece of music that deserved nothing less.

I hope you enjoy what you hear and if you have a few stop by Brian's profile and share some love.  

Till next time brothers and sisters
Peace and love
TI

If I were to paint a portrait of you,
layer upon layer oil mixed with dew.
Canvas part torn weathered and worn,
a wondrous reflection resplendent in colour.

If I were to sculpture in marble or stone.
Alabaster skin flawless in tone.
A peachy complexion a hint of rouge,
lines to be seen more than a laughter or two.

If I were a poet my sonnet to you,
would flow from my heart that’s been battered and bruised.
Words on page of passion and rage,
an inky endorsement of love and of hate.

Ohhh, let it go now, I need to have some peace of mind.
Ohhh, let it go now,
find myself a release, that finally sets me free.
From all the confusion, downright delusion,
turmoil swirling around, inside me brain.

of love & of hate

Lyrics

Verse 1
The demons inside your head, they're on fire
It's making it hard to fake your smile
you're cool on love, it's breaking you down
it's a simple life, in this heartbreak town 

Chorus
You fake a smile at me - I don't mind
Come see the world with me - it's our time
We'll find a cure for you - it's drive time

Verse 2
You're stronger than steel, you gotta heart of gold
The cells in your blood won't leave you alone
It's a rare disease, one step at a time
It's making it hard to fake your smile

Chorus
You fake a smile at me - I don't mind
Come see the world with me - it's our time
We'll find a cure for you - it's drive time

Bridge/Verse 3

Enter Heavier Guitar Sound (Gibson Les Paul Standard)

Chorus
You fake a smile at me - I don't mind
Come see the world with me - it's our time
We'll find a cure for you - it's drive time

Drive time

I definitely had to include this song on my cover album. An all-time classic written by Ben. E. King - this song has withstood the test of time and has been recorded by over 700 artists. When Mr. King passed away in April 2015 he was survived by his wife of 51 years. I wonder how many times he thought of her when he was performing this song - ‘cause to the very end he stood by her and she stood by him.
