World Gone Bad - Words & Music: Pravinand Maharaj

I was born downtown on a bed of rats
From a dirty faced kid to a mean ol’ cat
Mama said son you look just like your dad
It’s hard being good in a world gone bad

Don’t wanna go where I don’t want to be
Don’t want to say what I don’t really mean
What a lowdown rotten life I had
It’s hard being good in a world gone bad

Gonna pull up my boots
Pick up my cane
Put on my hat
Get on the road again
Hit that trail before the break of dawn
You can wait all you want but baby I’ll be gone

Some get their kicks in the back of a hearse
Some drink blood just to quench their thirst
Me I’m on the edge going mad
It’s hard being good in a world gone bad

Comme tous les dimanches, je pressens le vide funeste du jour qui s'achève. J'entends les pâles lamentations du temps, perdu, qui ne saura jamais se situer en ces dimanches soir revenant d'une manière fatale, comme par malédiction ?
Les âmes vivent derrière les murs des maisons, closes, aux yeux fermés pour faire ressortir davantage l'atmosphère froide des rues sous l'éclairage lunaire.
Les âmes vivent mais se cachent, du monde et d'elles-même. Leur chant hurle...

Je respire le parfum inodore de la mort se répandant dans l'air. Je devinne son odeur forte : volatile éther...

Comme tous les dimanches, plus rien à brasser dans l'air absent qui se lit dans mes yeux...
Le temps hagard s'égare, se gare sans même savoir où choir...
Attends demain, au petit matin, dans le ronronnement des véhicules, dans les soupirs des bus, les claquements de pas dans les rues, se relèvera la foule et avec elle l'humanité entière, tirée de son sommeil dominical. A nouveau, les cliquetis des machines, les toux grasses, les portes claquantes, les baisers couïnants, les battements de paupière, les ébattement de corps, les battements de cœur rythmeront le temps pour une ère nouvelle : la même que la semaine dernière...
J'espère alors qu'elle sera la dernière.
J'attends avec une conviction profonde une mort dominicale, sous le râle des étoiles...

Affliction [Dan-T and Lukowig]

IDEALIST

Website: https://DAVEHEFFNER.COM
This song is dedicated to my little grandson Abraham, who loves dance music and cheese.  After hearing him singing "Cheese, Baby!" for a couple weeks, it seemed natural to write a song. A tough music critic, he approves of this music. The only endorsement I need. 
LYRICS
VERSE 1
Cheese, Baby… Yeah!
Running on the playground and falling in the dirt,
We all make mistakes and we sometimes get hurt.
One thing that will make me feel alright,
Is to serve me a treat when I get home at night.
Give me (chorus)
VERSE 2
How about string cheese… Please?
Give me a call when you get some time.
I like to hear the news and not get behind.
If you’re too busy to give me a ring,
You can always send me one special thing.
Send me (chorus)
BRIDGE
Ricotta, American, Mozzarella, Parmesan and Feta, too.
Sharp, Brie, Cottage, Swiss, and don’t forget Blue.
Camembert, Gouda, Monterey, Muenster are not alone.
There’s Cream Cheese, Colby, Pepper Jack and Provolone.
VERSE 3
Maybe some crackers, too?
Don’t need more money and don’t need gold.
Too many things can soon get old.
Give me a house that is warm all day.
Which leaves me with just one more thing to say.
I love (chorus)
CHORUS
Cheese, Baby! Cheese, Baby!
Let’s agree.
Cheese, Baby! Cheese, Baby!
It’s for me.
Cheese, Baby! Cheese, Baby!
You should know.
Cheese, Baby! Cheese, Baby!
Love it so!

Cheese, Baby! (ft. Dave Heffner - vocals) Inspired by 5 yr old Abe

YouTube: https://youtu.be/NeK4K0Q-eyc.  Website: https://DAVEHEFFNER.COM. Featuring Anna and Ari Rader on vocals. Dave on keyboards and production. Style: Electronic Pop. The message of the song can be best described by the pre-chorus, "You can dream and you can change. All the world is your domain." Several manipulated vocal effects of my voice were added for creative enhancement. Daughter Anna sings the verses and is joined in the chorus by her daughter. I am grateful for the opportunity to have them participate.
LYRICS
VERSE1
There’s no shame and there’s no blame.
Pick yourself up and make your claim.
Only you can really know, 
What’s inside that needs to grow.
PRE-CHORUS1
You can dream and you can change.
All the world is your domain.
VERSE2
Beacon of Hope. Squash all despair.
Passion’s the aim. Breathe in the air.
Only you can really know, 
What’s inside that needs to grow.
PRE-CHORUS2
You can dream and you can change.
All the world is your domain.
CHORUS2
You can dream. You can dream.
You can dream. You can dream.
BRIDGE PT2
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah
You can dream. Ou-Ou
You can dream. Ou-Ou
VERSE3
Some may tell you what to do.
Stop to know if it’s for you.
Only you can really know,
What’s inside that needs to grow.
PRE-CHORUS3
You can dream and you can change.
All the world is your domain.
CHORUS3
You can dream. You can dream.
You can dream. You can dream.
ENDING
Ou-Ou,  Ah-Ah, Ou-Ou, Ah-Ah
Ou-Ou,  Ah-Ah, Ou-Ou, Ah-Ah
Ou-Ou

INTRO
Love from the heart.  2X
VERSE1
Yes, I’m happy that you are kind.
I really like when you use your mind.
But how much do you love me, from your heart? From your heart.
It’s not what you say, and only you can show.
Not what others think, ‘cause only you can know.
Love from the heart.
VERSE2
I like when you say you’re mine.
I am always looking for a sign,
Of how much you love me, from your heart. From your heart.
There’s no other way, than to love me for today.
We will show each other love, and we will be okay.
Love from the heart.
PRE-CHORUS
Love from the heart.  2X
CHORUS
I love you and hope that you can see,
You’ll get undivided love, and much more from me.
My pure devoted love, with no ending and no start.
What more can you ask than love from the heart?
Love from the heart.  2X
BRIDGE
Love, love, true love.
Love from the heart.
REFRAIN
Love from the heart.  2X

Dave Heffner - Roland RD-2000 for Pipe Organ and Grand Piano with the rest of the electronic sounds programmed with Xfer Serum in Pro Tools.

A SIMPLE SONG ABOUT WHAT'S IMPORTANT. YouTube: youtu.be/Xxi1FVBp0Po. Website: daveheffner.com. Genre: Singer - Songwriter. Dave sings and plays keyboards this simple ballad about the riches around us.
LYRICS.
VERSE 1
I like the simple life.
The simple life’s for me.
Give me a sunny day,
Wind in the trees.
Air that’s fresh, and water clean,
Food that’s good to eat.
Warm clothes so I don’t freeze.
Shoes for my feet.
CHORUS
Oh-wee-oh, wee-oh, oh. Simple life for me.
Oh-wee-oh, wee-oh, oh. Best things are for free.
VERSE 2
When we’re born into this world,
We have simple needs.
Then as we grow older,
Life picks up speed.
We can read many books,,
Lots of facts they give.
We can learn lots of rules,
But not how to live.
PRE-CHORUS
Oh----, wee-oh
Oh----, wee-oh
CHORUS
BRIDGE
(8 bar instrumental)
CHORUS
VERSE 3
Gazing at the mountains,
We can look for free.
Beauty surrounds us.
All Nature we can see.
Clouds up in the sky. Ocean…
Waves that never end.
Life is overflowing.
Share it with a friend.
CHORUS
VERSE 4
When we pass and leave this world,
We leave it alone.
Until then we have riches,
From things we find at home.
Family, friends, and beauty,
Nature’s full buffet.
The simple things around us,
‘round us every day.
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

You Never Listened/ Steen/Rivas

Mix créer en 2017 que j'avais nommer à l'époque "Light", une vidéo avait été créer par mon amie vidéaste Sabine GENET que vous pouvez trouvé sur Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtnKEnIG4Fk
Aujourd'hui je poste cette musique ici qui est exactement la même, je l'ai juste renommée "Light of hope", le monde a connu un grand bouleversement, je voulais juste à travers ces quelques notes recommencer à croire en un avenir meilleur......

Light Of Hope

THAT'S WHEN IT HURTS ME THE MOST

Ambient track inspired by a dream of floating in the sea on a hot sunny day...when reality was being stuck in a flat during lockdown

Tomorrow

Welcome to a strange invisible summer

Thank god for a beautiful new day!

Paroles 

On a pas l'air beau à voir
On est pas rasé 
Mal coiffé. 
On s'est battu contre les vents
Ne vous faites plus de mauvais sang. 

C'est dans les creux et le brouillard 
Qu'on est le mieux face au hasard. 
Et même si la mer nous emporte 
On sera sur le pont et peu importe. 

On rentre au port 
On a bossé toute la nuit 
On est crevé 
Mal fagoté 
On rentre au port. 
On rentre au port 

Sur la terre ferme on se sent mal 
Ce mal de mer qui nous rattrape 
C'est dans nos gènes 
C'est pas ton genre 
Alors pourquoi virer de bord ?

Demain le large je quitte le Port. 
Pour un autre port. 
C'est dans nos gènes 
C'est pas ton genre
Alors pourquoi vire tu de bord ? 

On rentre au port 
On a bossé toute la nuit 
On est crevé 
Mal fagoté 
On rentre au port. 
On rentre au port

Au port

Au Port

While The Dark Queen held court as stated before, this man walks into her court. She is baffled As this Man is brought to the throne... She recognizes him!! He attempts to remind her who he really is. She Knows this man. But he never knew her at All. He only Knew her as a muse to him always in the shadows ..The Dark Queen turns sad and cold..  She turns away for a moment with a slight tear in her eye. Remembering the Past..... Stay tuned to be continued!!!!

Track 4: From the soon  to be released  in August Tales From The Dark Queen

Never Knew Me

Remembering old friends and places with such great images.  This song
was written by Lyle Lovett and Robert Earl Keen Jr,. while they attended
Texas A&M in the late 70's. It was released by Lyle in 1986.  What an American singer and songwriter.  A gem of a song

This Old Porch   (  cover - Lyle Lovett)

YouTube: https://youtu.be/7XEpo8GqzwM   Website: https://daveheffner.com.
It started out innocently enough: "What could I write for piano at 180 bpm?" Then I started playing around with my voice tone using a popular plugin. So why not add a sub-bass track to test out my new speaker? After many bells and whistles later and massive editing cuts, one gets a frantic two minute track, not to be confused with Mozart's Minute Waltz. :-)Perhaps this reflects being stuck in my house for a couple months. Artwork by Arianna Rader.

Two Minute Workout

Two months ago I fell over, a simple loss of balance and crushed my right wrist - at the same time this virus caused me and most of the world to seclude ourselves - and I couldn't play my piano. My cast and splint are off but there is healing still to do. Finally, this week I sat down to play - painful, but that is life.  In my seclusion I met a woman online in pain from a broken knee and a broken life. She lives in New York. Everyone has their own pain to live with. We are not alone, even when we feel alone.  Everything I record has a reason.  In the music is the emotion of her story. I recorded this music for her.  

It is now time for me to get my life back. My immune system is suppressed. I have rarely left my house since Feb. I teach my students over video chat. The world is different now and we don't know where it is going. That will be the story of my upcoming music.

Sleepless in New York

Freedom / Paploviante 2020
Lyrics and Vocals:  www.Ghosthack.de

„I’m like freedom  Walk a lot
I can be kind  But sometimes 
I can fight  Don't be afraid to be near
 I'm always here boy I'm always here 
And despite everything that can happen to us 
I will still try to be freedom at last“

When Mamoru sent me his beautiful unique interpretation of this great classic from Carole King, it was with great delight that I began working on it. It needed some piano, and so I asked the wonderful Mr Jamie Rhind, and he added some magic keys, the icing on the cake!
We hope you enjoy our take, and the big strawberry moon tonight.
