this is a fantastic song David....it only seems like the other day my son was taking his first steps, now he’s halfway through high school, and before i know it he too will “ leave the nest” to make his own way............great work man, and your vocals and harmonies are just spot on to my ears 👍

A sweet,plaintive song superbly delivered.

very touching sentiment. nice melody and strong delivery!

Very sweet and true!   My sons are 23 and 16. The younger graduating this year and a 2 year old grandson that I care for daily. So the cycle seems to have started over😊and very quickly. Cherish every moment! 😁😁

Had to check this one out as I have just finished writing a song with the same title. There are probably squillions of others out there as well. Nice song, put together and delivered with a pleasing sound.

really well written to capture the situation, very sincere and from the heart

Lovely song, has a vibe of Simon and Garfunkel for me. Helen :)

lyrics:
No matter what happens
I need to find peace
Feel at ease
In the heat
I need to find peace
Learn to breathe
To feel at ease

Time is a thief
But love makes it freeze
Darkness, I am leaving

I can´t let it happen to go there again
Never again
I can´t let it happen to go there again
Never again

I need to find peace
Learn to breathe
Feel at ease

Time is a thief
But loves makes it freeze
Darkness, I am leaving

I can´t let it happen to go there again
Never again
I can´t let it happen to go there again
Never again

Can´t Let It Happen

“Castle Mind”

Run
Through the gardens
Of your mind
A castle guarded
Yet undefined
Your dearest fancies
Your secret friend

Here
Take your sword
It’s just a stick
But vastly more
With a little magic
All your own
You’re on your own
But not alone, never

Life will always be like this
Timeless, charming, childish bliss
Open-hearted mind-soul kiss

Search
The many worlds
That you contain
Imagination whirls
Over it you reign
A fearless knight
A noble, dashing swain

Dash
Shadowed figments
In your mind
The castle’s breached
But unresigned
You’re nearly grown
All up on your own
But not alone, never

Boredom befalls the idle mind
Fruitful soil out of time
Where I myself my self do find

Hold
To your vision
Beyond your walls
Nothing’s what it seems
No not at all
World growing real
Here comes the fall

Grasp
Fading images
From your sleep
Life’s laid you low
Now sleep’s your keep
All on your own
You’re on your own
And so alone, you never...

Imagined life would be like this
A bleak and unforgiving blitz
That cannot be dreamed over

Castle Mind

Vangelis and John Dowland mashup of sorts. Inspired by John Dowland’s ‘Awake Sweet Love’.
Skopós is ancient Greek for 'watcher' as in 'autoscopy' or seeing oneself from a separate view point (doppleganger/out of body experience). I once had a brief out of body experience in a near-sleep state. It was quite something. I swam out of my body and looked down upon myself from the ceiling. Afterwards I went downstairs and told my family then we had lunch as if nothing had happened.

Skopós

This is my first song for this year's 50/90 songwriting challenge! (https://fiftyninety.fawm.org/)

I've been thinking about little ones leaving the nest quite a lot recently. My kids are 10 and 7, so not imminent, but it still makes me feel a tiny bit sad (and a tiny bit relieved). I certainly know others with kids who are closer to that point, so this one's for them 🙂

When I'd finished my bits on the track, it felt like it was still missing a little something. So I sent it over to my man @nahlejmusic for some sweet percussive magic and, as always, he promptly delivered the goods. Thank you!

Oh little bird standing on the edge
Of your nest, will you fledge
Are you ready for it yet?

Oh little bird do your feathers feel the breeze
In the leaves of the trees
Will you spread your wings and see?

Oh, little bird...

Oh little bird getting stronger ever day
It's okay, fly away
You were never bound to stay

Oh little bird, there’s a future yet to write
Taking flight out of sight
In the hazy morning light

Oh little bird...

Oh little bird, wherever you may go
You must know, though you roam
This will always be your home

Though you roam
This will always be your home

Little Bird

Un croissant aux leurres
Rendez-vous du déjà vu
Le violon blond des heures
D'une aube déjà bue

Mon amour mon bonheur
Dans la vérité toute crue
Comme un roi tout nu
Avec une flèche dans le cœur

Un croissant aux leurres
Sur tous les plateaux télé
Tant de têtes à débiter
Mon amour mon bonheur

Un Croissant Aux Leurres

Roberto B (@mgxloop and @volt5000) and I present track 10, "Iberia", in our almost completed album of late 2022 - and we hope that you'll enjoy it.

The track was created in collaboration on 19 October 2022 (initial composition, recording and mix in MAGIX by Roberto B), 20 November 2022 (subsequent additions, arrangement, recording and mix in GarageBand iOS and Logic Pro X by Alex M), and 28 November 2022 (final arrangement, recording and mix in MAGIX by Roberto B), and posted here on SoundCloud on 2 December 2022 (by Alex M), before the album as a whole.

The artwork cover for the track was designed and completed using PowerPoint and Mac OS Preview and annotated by Alex M in MacOS Preview on 20 November 2022 - in coordination and agreement with Roberto B.

Duration: 7:33 minutes

Iberia - Roberto B & Alex M

method: sounds from field recording, voice (just another instrument, I guess) and toy harp (the one seen in the picture) via pedals
narration: that cult is one of the oldest we know of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirah
picture: taken by myself on the banks of the argen river

poem / copyright jo richter:

scales in the sun
sparkling, bright
liminal lisping
seductive sight

coiled conundrum
confusing, tight
contorting circles
cymatic tide

slender senses
snaking the void
looking for loves
and lives to exploit

cuneiform letters
pressed into clay
where there is beauty
predators prey

connecting the cosmos
completing the course
ligament nexus
umbilical force

nirah of nippur

method: adding voice and vst to a preexisting song
narration: One of the greatest creative artist on soundcloud, stonerjazz https://soundcloud.com/user-911083679/tracks, my friend Jeff, has composed a song shock full of paranoia, existential threat and hope for redemption and salvation - a truthful portrayal of the human condition. It is a mesmerizing work of art as it stands. When I approached him concerning a possible collab for my upcoming soundcloud-only album 'songs to pacify extraterrestrials' (out by the end of November 2023), he offered this to me. I was in a fix: How can you work on something that is already perfect, complete in itself?  Eventually, I decided to take a cynical approach and turn it into an intergalactic commercial for tooth --- no, fangpaste. There was a challenge in bringing about the non-music so typical for the advertising industry. Virtual midi-operated synthesizers helped. During gestation, I called those interludes and overlays PCBs, short for 'psychotic commercial break' or 'paranoid commercial breakdown'. They are of somewhat juvenile humor and also have some Douglas Adams vibes, I hope, Marvin-style. None of my recontextualization does the existential thrill (and especially the hope for liberation) of the original any justice at all - quite in the contrary. It was a morbid kind of fun to create, though ... and, to my utter astonishment, Jeff liked it and edged me on during the process. Well, here you are. It's (be)coming for you!
