This has such a dreamy feel to it, fantastic track

Really great rock track - Excellent guitar :)

The transpose a half step at a time adds a nice psychedelic vibe that's tough to beat

Your talent knows no bounds! Every song is great, and so is this one! The atmosphere is cool and a little melancholy.

It's been a while since eddyoffline and I did a collab.  Mostly because he's always offline.  This one finally came together though.  I have never really played Reggae before and it shows. Thanks to eddy for sending me this track.  He plays an awesome bass in this as well as a solid rhythm guitar to hold things together.

Reggae-ish

A big thank you to https://soundcloud.com/joerxworx for playing nearly all instruments, arranging and mixing, it was a  pleasure to collab.

Lines in inverted commas quote René Girard (1923 - 2015), also the title of the song points to him.

Mimetic Desire

Man is the creature
Man is the creature

„Man is the creature
Who does not know
What to desire,
And he turns to others
In order to make up his mind.“ (2)

Don't let the darkness blind you
Don’t let the blindness guide you
Even if it is full of shiny, 
Mimetic desires

Maybe there is still 
A shadow of a hope out there
Isn’t there still somewhere
A shadow of a hope ?

Let me have it, let me, let me have it
Let me have it, let me, let me have it

Don't let the darkness blind you
Don’t let the blindness guide you
Even if it is full of shiny, 
Sparkling, mimetic desires

„We desire 
What others desire
Because we imitate 
Their desires."

Maybe there is still 
A shadow of a hope out there
Isn’t there still somewhere hanging out
A shadow of a hope ?

Man is the creature…
Man is the creature…

Don't let the darkness blind you
Don't let the blindness guide you
Don’t let the darkness blind you…

Mimetic Desire (ft joerxworx)

Looking out my window,
I see the sleepy sway of the grasses
Pass the pond's surface water  toward 
The reflection of the gray surface of the sky

Then ocre lillies penetrate my mood
And when I look down from my window 
There is a sleeping tree of pussy willow 
Pussy, caresser, pussy , caresser ,pussy caresser pussy willow 
I run downstairs , barefoot and I pick a
slender sliding staff of the willow and place
in vase not far from the fireplace ,a trick
to kindle desire (to bloom)
like my desire for you
not far from the fireplace

And I delicately caress their soft paws, as you would have caressed
me, if were here my love
The vision of you.... is forever in my mind
the vision of you is forever in my mind
I just need to, just need to, close my eyes
I've got to wait another lifetime it seems
until your back with me, 
In my, in my reality

Mean Streets (Torbjørn Vagle  - Jimmy Rivas - Dairv Dubbleyew)

Under a deep starry sky

This track is the typical guy waking up in the morning not knowing where he is and fears the retribution when he gets home.

Lyrics:
Verse 1
Laying here ‘till morning when the sun comes up
Laying with my face down in the dusty ground
Feeling so hung over on the verge of breakup
I need one more drink. Let’s have another whip round

Verse 2
Cold emotion sems to play us a game
Who am I to criticise and who am I to blame
Here am I where my heart burns so hot
I’m losing my mind. I’m losing the plot

Middle 8
I need a little comfort to keep my heart warm
I need another drink to face the fire storm
‘cause when I come home, the levee will break
The ground will move and the house will shake

Verse 3
I thought about work, but it seems such a chore
Look at the neighbour who’s living next door
Rises at dawn with curtains still drawn
I close my eyes and try to ignore

Verse 4 
I’ll lay down my heart now and lay down my soul
I’m better off living without job control
No cent to my name. Life’s just a card game
We all end up in a six foot hole.

Ideas and thoughts

Another whip round

I'm very pleased to get to work with Karl's music yet again as we have collaborated on many projects together. When I first heard 'Haust' (Icelandic for Autumn), I was haunted by the richness of the bowed sound and the grinding industrial textures that spoke to me about the extreme environment in Iceland (https://soundcloud.com/sesar/haust). I asked Karl if I could contribute and a few weeks later I'm proud to present our 8th collaboration.

What was grey becomes black, 
That sinking feeling, 
As darkness falls, 
Dark falls.  

Dawn's late, later still, 
That sinking feeling, 
As darkness falls, 
Dark falls.  

Grey to black as darkness falls.

Darkness Falls by Sesar & Mark J Bennett
