Mortelle mélancolie
Combien de temps vais-je vivre ; supporter cette colère intime
souffrir d’aimer, de confiance envers vous qui n‘hésitez pas à me
trahir
exploitez ma faiblesse, ma naïveté, ma tolérance
vous mes frères et mes soeurs que je ressens sans cesse dans l‘abîme
de vos incertitudes, paranoïaques, hypocrite de vos plus profonds
sentiments qui me procurent tant de ressentiments
je souffre sensible à votre magnétisme mais j ‘y crois je continue.
Mortelle mélancolie… souffrir… souffrir d’empathie.
Souffrance quand je te quitte l’espace d’un instant d’abandon
je me rends compte avec mes peurs, mes angoisses, ma tristesse
ce besoin en toi pour rester en vie que seul sans toi il y a ce vide
tu m’as toujours tenu compagnie, fidèle cerbère de mes galères, de mes
colères.
Mortelle mélancolie …. souffrir…. souffrir d’empathie.
Maintenant je veux m’occuper de toi, comme tu l’as fait
pendant tant d’années te reconnaître comme mon enfant
t’aimer et te bercer doucement avec tout mon amour
te protéger du mal que l’on m’a fait, te respecter
chère souffrance je te suis redevable à vie
ma faiblesse mon empathie chérie.

FUCK JAZZ [ ECLECTRIC + FREE VARIETY THEATRE ]

Updated 2/7/19 - So ends another HOFA competition and another uneventful milestone on the highway.  Another round of tough competition with % or two here or there determining victors.  The industry isn't a kind one...and until you have your name on a platinum they don't hand out participation trophies.. hahah  So buck up my fellow clouders and high spirits.. for we dared to ride into the unknown...next year we shall have them.  Who ever you eight people are who clicked a like for me on the HOFA site I owe you one.  

Hi everyone and happy to announce that HOFA is running is mixing/remixing competition... If I remember right it closes up 1/21/2019.

You can find it here: https://songcheck.de/

My entry into the fray is here if you are interested in supporting me: https://songcheck.de/song/1810/

Took the day off yesterday for a couple of music buis type classes on rights and licensing.  Once I finished, took a look at my to do list and saw the HOFA competition.  This years track, Maryam, is a fantastically cool piece of work, with a great arrangement and stellar performances.  

On the engineering side pretty flawless recordings to work with.   I tried to keep the jazz feel alive. I got the mix to a place where I was feeling it, then quickly pushed into mastering.  Went the all analog route for mastering with multiple eq and compressors and a smidge of limiting.  

If you have some time would highly recommend trying the competition out. I spent some time listening, the competition is going to be tough this year.. a lot of heavy hitters. But what I can say without a doubt is,  you will learn something from the project.  These have provided me a eureka moment with every competition. 

Mine on this one was with reverb..some of the room tracks were a bit tacky when stitched in for my taste.  So I rebuilt them from scratch.... its the first competition where I was like hmmm... I might be able to get a cleaner result by doing it my way...that is a huge milestone to pass.
  
Finally one of the reasons to enter is that they will typically send out a coupon as a thank you for coming to the party.  Used mine to pickup the system and more specifically Algoverb.  IMHO probably one of the best plug in reverbs out there.  

If you go tell em Icarus says hello... haha  Don't worry that puzzled look you get,  while they shrug their shoulders and look around... its all part of the act!  :)

Lyrics: 
Maryam Words & Music: Jochen Sachse 
Verse1  
Maryam, you hear the words 
you wonder, yet accept them 
as for you there is nothing impossible
 you feel the plan – oh Maryam 

Verse2
Your way leads you through the mountains 
Step by step to the foreign city
 highly welcome and expecting 
you enter and are recognized - Maryam 

Interlude
The whole world is moving
 as never before – no place for you
 bear the hardship without motion
 until your child sees the light of day
 
Verse3
 Maryam, you see the offerings
 the guided ones gave abundantly
 because they know the mercy
 of your path 

Verse4
Maryam, you hear the words 
you wonder, yet accept them 
as for you there is nothing impossible 
you feel the plan – oh Maryam

Texte Français et Google traduction

QUELLE VIE JE VIS

J’ai bien souffert, je peux le dire
Une misère, voire même pire.
De la méfiance en l’être humain
Ce manque de chance quand çà vous tient.

Les tromperies, fruits du hasard,
Ont faient ma vie rester en noir.
Des coups bien durs, d’autres assez bas,
Font les blessures qui n’guérissent pas,

J’dis plus mon âge, il est certain,
Nombreuses pages, un long chemin.
Il reste encore pour qui le veux
D’ici ma mort, des jours heureux.

Je ligne mes yeux au crayon noir,
Je fais d’mon mieux pour me faire voir
Si j’en ajoute, trop quelquefois
C’est que mes doutes sont toujours


Quelle vie je vis

Je vais m’écrire dans cette histoire,
Et même vous dire que quelque part,
Ce monde malsain où vivent les grands
Refuse ma main quand je leur tends,

Cherche couleurs, plutôt pastels,
Du chaud au cœur, y’a rien de tel,
Sur une palette à mélanger,
Je voudrais être du verbe « aimer ».

Quelle vie je vis

Toutes ces traces qui m’ont marquées,
Ont prises trop d’place dans mes pensées
Quand je regarde autour de moi,
Je sèche mes larmes pour pas qu’çà s’voit.

Tous mes espoirs sont restés vains
Rien que d’y croire me fait du bien.
Je cherche encore, je cherche toujours
Rien n’est plus fort que de l’amour.
Qu’ai-je bien pu faire pour être ainsi,
Sinon me taire et puis tant pis,

WHAT LIFE I LIVE

I have suffered well, I can say
A misery, even worse.
Mistrust in the human being
This lack of luck when it holds you.

Deception, the fruits of chance,
Have my life stay in black.
Very hard shots, others quite low,
Do wounds that do not weal,

I'm older, I'm sure,
Many pages, a long way.
It remains for who wants it
By my death, happy days.

I line my eyes in black pencil,
I do my best to make myself see
If I add, too much sometimes
That's because my doubts are always


What life I live

I will write myself in this story,
And even tell you that somewhere,
This unhealthy world where big people live
Refuse my hand when I give them,

Seeking colors, rather pastels,
From warm to heart, there's nothing like it,
On a palette to mix,
I would like to be of the verb "to love".

What life I live

All these traces that marked me,
Have taken up too much space in my thoughts
When I look around,
I dry my tears for not seeing it.

All my hopes were in vain
Just to believe it makes me feel good.
I'm still looking, I'm still looking
Nothing is stronger than love.
What could I have done to be so,
Otherwise shut up and then too bad,

Le battement de tes paupières
nos têtes basculant en arrière
ta chevelure dans la lumière...
Comme si c'était hier...

Volutes de nos souffles dans l'air
et dans nos yeux mille éclairs
foudroyés l'un et l'autre à terre...
Je le revis comme si c'était hier...

Jag lever nu
som i går
Jag ser din blick i dina ögon
Jag vet inte vad du inte förstår, jag har ju inget
mer att säga

Varför då?
Varför nu?

Jag vet ju ingenting om dej
Jag ser dina ögon
minns din röst
Jag vill ju bara leva nu

Coup de tonnerre : ton cœur amer
notre amour s'engouffrant dans la mer...
Fatale issue meurtrière :
faut-il inhumer hier ?

Glöm allt nu 
det är försent
Jag vill ju inte gå tillbaks
Vi lever nu 
Låt oss drömma
Låt oss flyga våran väg

Comme si c'était hier [ feat. Stina Crow ]

Lyrics 

Off I go again
A world that's full of trees
Time is creeping off 

Nothing's on my mind 
Nothing's on my mind 
Problems are all gone 
In a horthorn sunset out here 
Nothing's on my mind 
Nothing's on my mind 

Footsteps and the birds 
Going home to sleep 
A crow is following 
Off to the shadows on the moon 

Nothing's on my mind 
Nothing's on my mind 
Problems are all gone 
In a horthorn sunset out here 
Nothing's on my mind 
Nothing's on my mind

Nothing's On My Mind | RosesAreBlue

Introducing Song # 5 in my 'Lockdown Demos' series.
I first wrote the music for this song back in 1997 for my then band. It was been mouldering away in a cupboard for the past 20 years. Only a chance mention of it got me to thinking about it. I unearthed it, wrote a new set of lyrics last Friday, recorded it today and here it is! Back from the dead & just in time for Summer...

Sometimes...(Lockdown Demos #5)

This is the story of my first “eclipse”, experienced alone in the wilderness of Oregon in August, 2017. It’s a long story, but the story behind this song.

I drove to Oregon alone to see the great American total solar eclipse of 2017. In Oregon, there is a famous national park called Crater Lake.  This is the deepest lake in America.   In the middle of Crater Lake is Wizard Island. This lake was formed when a huge volcano blew its top a long time ago.  My plan was to see Wizard Island, get a hotel room, and see the eclipse the next day.

There have been numerous stories of strange occurrences around this area from multiple people over the course of centuries.

The time was around 7 pm when driving up Crater Lake Mountain to see Wizard Island… I wasn’t sure where I was going, or how to get down from the mountain. Finally, I saw Wizard Island just as the sun started to set. I remember there was this misty haze in front of the Island. I could barely see it. I got the chills and a weird feeling... It was very eerie.

I tried to find my way down from the mountain in my car, but it was too late, I was lost, and it was too dangerous. There are areas where you can drive off a ledge and fall a long way. No fun. I had to pull over in the wilderness and spend the night in my car…

Hours passed, and I fell asleep.

What happened next is the strangest thing I’ve experienced in my life. I woke up, it was still night. My phone wasn’t working, my car wouldn’t start or turn on any lights. I didn’t know what time it was. It was disturbing to me they were both "dead", and I was panicked. Then I noticed the area around my car was alternating in brightness, like truck lights... But that wasn't it. I got out of my car to check it out.

But the sky was weird. The moon was weird. It was all weird. The moon was alternating between being clearly visible… And being pitch black. Like it was “blinking”. It would take 5 seconds to get black, then about 5 seconds to get bright again. The stars were barely visible. I stared in disbelief for maybe 30 seconds, it kept happening.  The air around me had a feeling of electric charge to it.   I started hearing a lot more animals, and they seemed to surround me. They were in the bushes and trees, everywhere. It got more troubling quickly when I could discern soft human voices. I couldn't see animals or people. 
I wasn't on any drugs, I was saving my drugs for the following day and the journey home.

Time seemed too slow. I backed up to my car, got in, and locked the doors. I remember a feeling of utter disbelief in my senses. Without any idea what to do, I climbed in the backseat and lied down. I thought any second I could die.

The next thing I remembered, I woke up. It was about 6:30 am. My car worked. My phone worked. And this was the morning of August 21st, 2017… The first day of the total solar eclipse which many of us would see later that day.  

But what I saw was something else.

Something very weird happened to me up there on that mountain that night, and it’s haunted me. I know several people will think "Manufactured lies!" Several others will think "Cool story bro...", well think what you want...

Later that morning when getting breakfast, still shook-up, I asked 2 waitresses if they heard of anything strange last night around Crater Lake. One said "no", the other said, "There's always something strange happening".

I remember one time a girl asked me why my music is so dark...
I’ve seen some sights.

Try to check out Crater Lake, Oregon, if you've never seen it.
Don't get lost.

- John

Verse
Been to Venus and Saturn --------now I've returned 
to set the beats on fire ----------so let the fire burn 
this is IPG1 -----------Spark a fire ------first phase-------was the
Beat and the lyrics-----------now here— comes the blaze
When hip-hop went sideways ----------I brought it all back
The styles --------I displayed --------as I put it --------back on track
Don't be afraid ----------------- IPG1 is back
Taking it back...
Verse
Kicking ass with rhythm patterns------- until now-unknown
I'm light years ahead---- like another-time zone 
More than you can handle-----in another-rhyme zone
Thought I was done ----- not till--your minds blown
This is how I do it---------------not being conceited
A cosmic contingency------------mission completed
I rock reality---------------------phonies defeated
Hungry for HipHop--------------automatically repeated
Chorus
Ain't no sense------- in being ----------so damn formal 
I'm incognito--------- so --------------let's rock normal 
this is IPG1------on the inside track
traveling through time ------------taking --hip-hop back
Verse
Check the rhymes---- the style --------and------- the literature 
as the Rhythm evolves ---------you'll see the spirit is pure
I'm going to rock the beats -----------like never before 
And when I'm done -----------you'll be waiting for more
traveling through time ---------could be a blast from the past
present or future-------but built to last
now as the beat hits ----------it knock you out your daze
remember the beat------------- was just first phase 
Riding The beats ---------with a hip-hop groove 
now I'm rocking normal -------------I just can't lose
taking it back...
I Stay alert --------and always at the ready----
don't mean I'm dangerous -----just means I'm deadly------
There'll be casualties---as a matter of fact
Person---ally ----------I can guarantee that
Cause I rock reality---------- phonies-----------defeated
Total calamity---------------------My patience depleted
Empowered by the beat -----------raining down defeat 
so cry me a River ---------------cause I'm here to deliver 
another verse -----------------to make you shiver
Taking it back...
Verse
Ain't no sense------- in being ----------so damn formal 
I'm incognito--------- so --------------let's rock normal 
this is IPG1------on the inside track
traveling through time ------------taking --hip-hop back
thought it was over ------------hell----no ------------------I'm back
Run it through your headphones ----------and add it to that stack
of tracks --------you have --------that hit like crack
then eliminate ---------------------------------all that other crap ------
they had the nerves------------ to calling rap
replay it again -------------Because this jam----- is packed

Lyrics

Verse 1
wanna walk forever
in a day
walk right next to you
wanna take it down
to the rivers edge
see what we can do

refrain
you must be strong
to carry on
doing what you do
oh yeah
doing what you do

verse 2
crazy days and crazy nights
it's who we are
you know we'll make it through
nothing lasts forever
we'll carry on
doing what we do

refrain
you must be strong
to carry on
doing what you do
oh yeah
doing what you do

Verse 3
wanna walk forever
in a day
walk right next to you
wanna take it down
to the rivers edge
see what we can do

refrain
you must be strong
to carry on
doing what you do
oh yeah
doing what you do

Outro
you must be strong
you must be strong....

Walk forever

Track shows a very delicate theme and a quite hard-riffed part, both alternating and finally flowing up to an endless symphonic dream (words are half a poem I wrote previously (not these, but lyrics below)).

Letra  /  Translated lyrics:

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)  /  Don’t you wake up (Only a dream)

No... despierta... no... no despiertes  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up
no, cuidado... no despiertes, na na na na na...  /  no, take care ... don’t you wake up, na na na na na…
... despierta al fin y date cuenta  /  ... wake up at last and realize
de que todo ha sido un sueño, na na na na na...  /  everything has been a dream, na na na na na...

Una vez más, nervios y resentimiento,  /  Once again, nerves and resentment,
todo en mi vida es sueño, sólo ha sido eso.  /  everything in my life is a dream, it has only been so.

Y de nuevo, con el tiempo,  /  And again, with time,
incubando un nuevo sueño,  /  incubating a new dream,
me voy hundiendo en mis propios brazos,  /  I am sinking in my own arms,
me acuno, me canto y me voy acostumbrando...  /  cradle myself, sing to myself and get used...

Otro escenario, otros personajes,  /  Another stage, other characters,
la misma historia, na na na na na...  /  the same story, na na na na na...
que durará un día, un milenio,  /  which will last one day, a millenium,
toda mi vida, na na na na na...  /  all my life, na na na na na...

Pero sin duda vendrán a despertarme  /  But undoubtedly the laughs of people
las risas de la gente, alguna tarde.  /  will come to wake me up, any evening.

Y entonces, con miedo...  /  And then, fearfully...

No... despierta… no… no despiertes (…)  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up (…)

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)

Ho iniziato lo studio da autodidatta per poi consolidare le conoscenze musicali ai Civici Corsi di Jazz di Milano. Ho avuto l'occasione di studiare con importanti musicisti del panorama jazz italiano tra cui Franco Cerri, Mario Rusca, Marco Vaggi, Gabriele Comeglio e Claudio Fasoli. Ho partecipato a seminari di perfezionamento con Gerald Cannon, Dave Liebman,  Johnatan Kreisberg, Roberto Gatto e Dave Kikoski. Ho diversi progetti musicali che cercano di proporre e condividere l' incontro tra le più diverse idee musicali e artistiche senza limiti, giudizi e pregiudizi.
