so how much fun is this..great vocals and music..I definitely hear randy Newman in the melody for sure..has the tone of some Fred Astaire dance tunes ..great job great quality

Randy Newman produced a few gems in his time. He’d be more than happy than this.

This is a song that started with Ian (IPG1 aka Lou) and his amazing vocal stem, of which I really identify with the lyrics. He has a plethora of vocal stems, so if you're interested in making a hip hop song, you did hit him up. He shared this psychiatrist l particular one with Tez (Llanpsych), who put a beat and guitar on it. Tez then sent it to me, and I added the bass and the synth. Then Tez put the solo part in there along with the effects. he mixed and produced it, and an excellent job he always does, too. This is my first foray into making hip hop, though I've listened to plenty. Hopefully there will be more to come.

Off the rails
get off the rails
you'll find much different beauty, you'll see
don't be afraid to be alone
don't be afraid to go on your own
believe me you don't need your phone
no, you need to get lost
and to get out of the frost
can you imagine a second
the world differently
can you take a decision
without someone to agree
look differently
try sometimes differently
can you be brave enough
to stand up by yourself
can you be coureagous enough
to choose for yourself
despite what may happen
follow the flowers
follow the smell
that attracts you
whatever happen
remember
you are the one
you are alone

In The Dead Of Night

I *absolutely* loved these @km-songs lyrics when I first read them, and also had a feeling they'd work well as a duet. So I enlisted the help of the brilliant Serene Sunderland (@user-846248422), who has made the song about a million times better with her presence. Musically, I was aiming for something Gershwin-y, but it's ended up in Randy Newman territory. Ah well...

LYRICS © 2023 Kristi McKeever

Would you sing the alphabet
Backwards from Z
Make up a dance
Try to impress me

Would you keep a secret
If I told you one
Play a few games
Have a little fun

[ch]
You say absolutely
I say all right
You say certainly
All day, all night
It would be a pleasure
An honor, delight
You say absolutely
I say all right

Would you take a ride
On a tandem bike
Go treasure hunting
In the countryside

Would you save the last piece
Of chocolate cake
Stay up for a chat
Watch the daybreak

[ch]
You say absolutely
I say all right
You say certainly
All day, all night
It would be a pleasure
An honor, delight
You say absolutely
I say all right

[br]
You’re never old when you’re being bold
Never tired if you’re inspired
State of mind is all we have
So why not play and share a couple laughs

Repeat ch

Absolutely (feat. Serene Sunderland)

Originally sang by The Cranberries, No Need to Argue is a moving piece of music that inspires some creative harmonies. I had to record this as it means a great deal to me.

No need to argue

No Need To Argue

Challenge was to make one of my shorter songs with one of my longer lyrics, so I 'had' to craft it into an amalgam of 9/4 and 4/4 signatures. Thus, it may feel crazy on verses but I hope also catchy on refrains.

Letra / Translated lyrics:

Sólo pido no tener deseos (Ya no quiero imaginar)  /  I ask only not to have desires (I don’t want to imagine anymore)

¿Puedes explicarme qué es lo que me pasa?  /  Can you tell me what happens to me?
Señor, llévate de mí esta confusión.  /  Lord, take away this confusion.
Quítame el don de la inteligencia,  /  Take the gift of intelligence from me,
pues si no pensara tanto, sería feliz.  /  because if I didn’t think so much, I would be happy.

Siento que este mundo me es extraño,  /  I feel this world is strange,
estoy a disgusto con mis sentidos.  /  I get displeasure from my senses.
No puedo comprender su funcionamiento,  /  I cannot understand their functioning,
ni siquiera amoldarme a él.  /  nor even get used to it.

Sólo pido no tener deseos,  /  I ask only not to have desires,
ya no quiero imaginarme nada.  /  I don’t want to imagine anything anymore.

Esta situación siempre es pasajera,  /  This situation is always temporary,
pero se repite una y otra vez.  /  but repeats itself again and again.
Este malestar de cuerpo y alma  /  This discomfort of soul and body
me hace desear dejar de ser.  /  makes me wish to stop being.  

Pienso entonces en todos los que me quieren,  /  Then I think of all those who love me,
o al menos en los que a veces lo parecen…  /  or at least about those who sometimes seem to…
¿Por qué es tan difícil la coexistencia  /  Why is coexistence so difficult
en medio de una sociedad inteligente?  /  in an intelligent society?

Sólo pido…  /  I ask only…

No deberías dejar pensar a algo imperfecto,  /  You should not allow something imperfect to think,
sino limitarlo a cumplir su función social.  /  but limit it to fulfilling its social role.
Sólo quiero ser un engranaje más, señor,  /  I only want to be one more cog, Lord,
en tu rebaño de almas, sin preguntas.  /  in your flock of souls, without questions.

Esta vida que me has dado, señor,  /  This life you have given me, Lord,
me tortura, de modos insospechados,  /  tortures me, in unsuspected manners,
a buscarle un sentido a mis dudas,  /  to look for a sense to my doubts,
lo cual, tal vez, sea precisamente su fin!  /  which, maybe, is precisely its purpose!

Sólo pido…  /  I ask only…

Sólo pido no tener deseos (Ya no quiero imaginar)

When, When

under the lantern /
there is a long shadow from tomorrow /

if you step through / 
this gate it won't open again /

silver skyscrapers /
they are looking down at you / 

you lost the code  / 
to open the box with your luggage /

thousand of people /
rush through the rail station / 

your phone / 
has no connection any more /

In a future home / I'm afraid all doors are locked /
In a future home / I'm afraid I won't find the keys /
In a future home / I'm afraid when all lights are out /
In a future home / oh I don't want to be there alone /
					
                                   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------                                    

when the director leaves the studio and stares into the sun /
when the student wakes up after the argument /
when the taxi driver drives through the sunrise in Berlin /
when the passenger drinks his first coffee of the day /

when, when / hmmmm
when, when / hmmmm

when the night is over all doubts are gone /
when the night is over all doubts are gone /

and the black glasses / are no longer on my face /
and the black glasses / are no longer on my face /
