first class work👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍

Wow Dave, this is one emotional undertaking. Good on you to see it through. Beautiful rhythm to float your and Jans vocals over.  Alfonso did splendid guitar work also.

Excellent piece, very well realized, some very interesting ecclectic touches that blend the lines between rock and classical!

See Through You: Rerealized

I Don't Know How You Do It (Dave Harrington Sweetener Remix)

Dear friends, the other day I saw a video from a bomb-ravaged city. A small dog walked among the ruins and seemed to be searching for something. Then I got inspiration for this song.
How can the warlords be allowed to continue their killing spree. They seem to be driven by greed, by hatred, or by a distorted religious view.

A Dog looking for his Master

In the night between the buildings where the battle took place
the lonely dog was searching for his master who is just a little
boy, nine years old - they walked out together
when the bombs hit the streets of their dear hometown
The situation here in this world - can no longer continue

The little boy has lost his mom and his dad during this war
the only relative he has is the little dog he found forty-
four days ago - and now they are separated
during these misarable days in their hometown
The situation here in this world - can no longer continue

The dog sniffs around all the ruins and all the dirt
with the intension of finding some signs which can tell him where the
little boy may be - and suddenly he found him
he was stuck under concrete masses but still he was alive
The situation here in this world - can no longer continue

The dog bumped his nose against the little boys dusty cheek
 he looked for a reaction and after a while the boy can 
open his eyes - and after some licking
he can see that the young man can produce a smile
The situation here in this world - can no longer continue

A Dog looking for his Master (Lyrics in English in description)

MONICA
Les paroles sont de FG


Que ta peau soit belle ou chiffonnée
Avec un vrai ou un faux nez

Tu joues de l'harmonica
Tu en joues ma Monica

Tu me joues de l'harmonica
Tu m'en joues ma Monica

Tu m'en as fait verser des larmes
Oh Monica
Quand tu me jouais, jouais de l'harmonica

Comme si tu mettais sur mes bobos de l'arnica
Quand tu me joues, me joues de l'harmonica

Oh Monica

Tu sais apaiser mes alarmes
Oh Monica
En me jouant, jouant de l'harmonica

Tu sais me faire rendre les armes
Oh Monica
En me jouant, jouant de l'harmonica

Et quand de toi nue à moto
J'effaçai toutes les photos
Du Nikon et du Konica

Tu sus passer sur mes bobos
De l'arnica quand tu me jouas, jouas de l'harmonica

Quand je me pose des tas de questions
Et que tu  me joues de l'harmonica
Monica

Que tu gonfles tes joues
Ma Monica
J'entends souffler, souffler le vent
Monica

Et quand tu me joues de l'harmonica
Que tu gonfles tes joues
Monica

À mes questions ma Monica
J'entends la réponse dans le vent
Monica

J'entends la réponse dans le vent.
Monica


MONICA
Lyrics are by FG

Whether your skin is beautiful or wrinkled
With a real or fake nose

You play the harmonica
You play it my Monica

You play me the harmonica
You're playing with me my Monica

You made me shed tears
Oh Monica
When you played me, played the harmonica

Like you put arnica on my sores
When you play me, play me the harmonica

Oh Monica

You know how to calm my alarms
Oh Monica
Playing me, playing the harmonica

You know how to make me surrender
Oh Monica
Playing me, playing the harmonica

And when you're naked on a motorbike
I deleted all the photos
Nikon and Konica

You knew how to get over my ailments
Arnica when you played me, played the harmonica

When I ask myself lots of questions
And you play me the harmonica
Monica

That you puff out your cheeks
My Monica
I hear the wind blowing, blowing
Monica

And when you play me the harmonica
That you puff out your cheeks
Monica

To my questions my Monica
I hear the answer in the wind
Monica

I hear the answer in the wind.
Monica

Chase the Horizon

Lyrics:
I see the warning signs that light up these ruthless skies
I feel the rain as it hits against my skin
Every problem gets magnified by overdramatic lies
Before we all realise what we waste about is a waste of time

And i feel all this collapse alone
As everybody starts to feel more unknown
As it turns into a faceless shadow
The memory is gone its in the past now

I see the rain split apart the colours from the light
The glorious orange glow turns into red and more
Off in the distance just out of reach
It stands alone for all to see

And i feel all this collapse alone
As everybody starts to feel more unknown
As it turns into a faceless shadow
The memory is gone its in the past now

Step forward and make your case
With the right words your point is made
Go talk with interesting people
Not social gossips neurotic creatures
Maybe just say that you're going to change
Maybe just have a new outlook on your day

And i feel all this collapse alone
As everybody starts to feel more unknown
As it turns into a faceless shadow
The memory is gone its in the past now

Don't Go Too Far

Faceless Shadow

Anti Joy

Let Wisdom speak:
Never bargain from a position of weakness
Always from a position of strength... 
——We must all embrace our race —-
——We must all embrace our culture—-
——We must all embrace our religious beliefs or lack there of—-
No two individuals were meant to be the same, let’s look at that on a bigger scale. It’s ultimately the differences in the world that helps us evolve as a people. It’s what makes us who we are. Together we are stronger. We are fighting against two common enemies on a global level
Racism and a pandemic “Together we are stronger.”

No contingency in place it’s going down as is 
with this mask on my face as a constant 
reminder of a death threat that linger.
And to this—- racist society——I hold up my middle finger
Cause it incredible to see——at least—incredibly to me
How bigoted and prejudice this society can be
——“Can’t we do better?”——“Where’s the love?”
 
Lyrics
The Summary

Intro:
We are fighting two enemies on a global level—They have both dealt deadly blows
Racism and a pandemic 

The world done turned around ——and changed the game 
Hidden faces so —-familiar ——-We know their names
Who’s gonna live to see ——-what the next day bring—
aim For the stars——— if you miss try again

Perspective sharper than a knife 
So effective—-I’m Evolving every second of my life
What’s the message—-I’m blessed with my family and my wife 
Simple elements——no hesitations —no hype
It my commitment to the world—-by living outright
Still addicted —to the sound of music and a mic
Inspired and driven ——everyday and night
Creativity pushes——into new -insight

blinded——here—-by what we see
Let’s come together —to combat —-these common enemies 
An open mind——- is the sauce—here—-and —the key 
And we don’t need any ——- —negativity
Don’t fall behind stay on course— indulge me
and your actions —-will ultimately set you free
So Be honest to yourself ——-cause—-you should be
——If no one’s looking— is there really—— any bad or good
What really matters—-is that I’m not misunderstood 
We don’t need any haters or jealousy—-
It’s a simple Insights —-if followed ——-will set you free

Bridge!—————-

The new journey —the conflict ——the struggles —-the fight
Stop Embracing —-the new norm where nothing feels right
The new journey —the conflict ——the struggles —-the fight
Let’s Look beyond the darkness ——-cause things ain’t right
The new journey —the conflict ——the struggles —-the fight
Keep trying hard and you’ll ——see the light
 a clear horizon—-the solace the new insight
The new journey —the conflict ——the struggles —-the fight

Choose the battles carefully —cause it’s combat
Keep moving forward—it’s an all out attack
Mission oriented—yeah that’s a fact
The world depends on the outcome—believe in that

The Summary

Watch the video and listen to You Listen while soaking in the vibes of Mexican agriculture circa 1950s here: https://fb.watch/2tXYb4EpAr/

I deeply recognize the disparity in ways natural and human disasters affect different groups of people and the need for greater equality of care. I also recognize that I live with many privileges that others do not have. And with these recognitions, I still believe there is space for us all to have a gratitude practice while passionately endeavoring for positive change.  

I am grateful for all the accumulated creativity and work of our ancestors that lead to the eventual creation of the internet and SoundCloud which has enabled us to remain artistically connected during this period of increased physical isolation. 

May everyone’s seeds be fruitful and multiply.

Lyrics:

We thank this seed with its potency
To bring forth fruits so copiously
With opened hearts and festivity  
4 20 days of ceremony 
 
You listen
Oh, you listen
We’re thankful that 
You listen

You listen
Yea, you listen
In the morning dew
You glisten

We honor you with crimsoned desire
Following Nanahuatl who jumped in the fire
May your sacrifices continue to inspire
And bring forth gratitude until we expire 

The days are long and the weather is hot
We call on the rains to weather our crops
Bless the labor of men and divined thought 
Honored to sacrifice for all that we got 

We thank this seed with it’s potency
To bring forth fruits so copiously
With opened hearts and festivity  
4 20 days of ceremony 
 
We be handing out the alms for the love of Xipe Totec
Got the gods in the house garlands all around their necks
Sitting on sheaves, leaves of tzapote 
Honoring renewal of life and all that is holy 
Flayed in the way maize loses layers 
With hope of vegetation we given up the prayers
Flayed in the way maize loses layers 
With hope of vegetation we given up the prayers

I have reworked this old classic from Cecilia and myself and as always when you rework something it is getting very different from the original.
If you feel at the end that you hear George Zamfir - it´s not him, it´s all guitar :-)
I hope you like the track and enjoy this new fresh version.

Mysteries Part 1 2020 Reissue feat. Special Cecilia

Mysteries Part 1 2020 Reissue | Special Cecilia & N.o.b.S.

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

When I was in 10th grade I asked my Belgian Spanish Teacher (Ms. Van Stichel) why the Spanish word “esperar” was used for both waiting and hoping. Maybe a sophomoric question (excuse the pun), but her answer has stuck with me through the years. She said “to wait is to hope”, and how right she was. 

I HOPE

I hope there’ll be a new beginning
I hope to tell right from wrong
I hope you get what you want
I wait, and I hope

I hope all manner of sins will be forgiven
I hope, I hope for my better angels
I hope, I hope for a wide open door
I hope, I hope you feel the same way
I hope we’ve got a lot left to live
I hope I’ve got a lot left to give

I hope you get what you want
I wait, and I hope

I hope to make a change for the better
I hope, I hope there is another way
I hope we can see it all clearly
I hope, I can open up inside
I hope we can find the time
I hope we can find a rhyme

I hope there’ll be a new beginning
I hope to tell right from wrong
I hope you get what you want
I wait, and I hope

I Hope

From so far away,
I hope this time,
You will stay.
