Duration: 2 min
Description: "It is as if I am something other than human inhibiting this body of mine, as if it is some temporary vehicle that doesn't fit the true form of my spirit. It is a shell, a home to my being for the duration necessary to accomplish my purpose."

Contributing to a @muterial space-y series, but also calling on very well-selected samples, made and shared by fake-stereo-machine (now using account @gmo5-0), from a Russian film "Heart of a Dog".

Lyrics:
i used to be a whore
for the sound
it would spin me round
and round
the bass is what i'd die for
and then the beat
i listen so much,
can't eat or sleep
now i am a queen
for the stereo machine
and the speaker
speaks to me
much deeper

all i do is hear and feel anymore
i'm way down to the core
to miss it makes me sore
im down to the core

and the speaker
speaks to me
much deeper
and the speaker
speaks to me
much deeper..
i'm down to the core...

Lyrics are below!
Down Like That.....
Chorus:
Down like That
Down like that
If you feeling me —-where I’m at
Lemme hear you say
Down like that

***verse1
I am the the real —-number one—bonafide —-numero uno
That’s the deal—-Do or die—-
Ask—-someone—That you know
been revealed—who I am—-
don’t really need —-an intro
Real appeal—this is why—
each discussion —might —seem nouveau

Verse2
As I sink into this mix —-don’t hold me ——let go
And I’ve got it all baby —-even ———if it’s retro
balancing act ——equilibrium———if you -can follow
that’s a hard pill -to swallow——now—- come on let’s go
Feel the vibe ——in your body ———like an undertow
Tried and true ——-just a fact———and you all know-the logo
This is how I——mix and match —drink it up —it’s pure—mojo

Bridge
Level one up—
level ——-level one up
I get down
level ——-level one up
sound on sound
level ——-level one up
you’ll come around

Verse3
a new challenge —-to take on—
come on ———let’s —get down —
Accept my imperfections
A rap addict —reborn—-
hard as steel go on
session after session
honed and built for action ———
Like My name was Smith and Wesson
This is where ——I belong —--are there Anymore questions?

Verse4
Bet —I—-still——- flow over this ——--right tight!
How can I miss ——-push verses ——day and night
it’s just a fix ——-till I reach—-my new ——-heights ——
still deep in the mix———level one up —-Aight!!!
there’s always chance I’ll swing through ——you know I will
that’s how I get down ————I got you——so—chill
But for now—this is all I can do— just—-until
That time comes ——-take a sip —drink it up—— don’t— spill

もう戻れない過去の世界。昔の姿の友達や家族、そして自分と踊る場面をイメージしました。

曲は後から修正するかもしれません。歌を入れるかもしれません。

The world of the past that can no longer be returned. I imagined a scene where I danced with my old friends, family, and myself.

The song may be modified later. I might put a song in it.

9:30 Alberta is a story of change found in a place of opportunity. 
The Berland River Alberta is the backdrop for this untouched sound .. an expression of natural beauty and an appreciation for all that it gives.

Lyrics:
I was thinking ‘bout you this morning
Can’t explain exactly why
Maybe it’s just this time of year
‘Bout a year ago you said good-bye
Chorus: 
I don’t want to hold you back now
There’s nothing left to say
 
I can still see you at the kitchen table
Yeah, it’s where you started almost every day
I was reading the paper…you were reading your tea leaves
You said they helped you find your way
Chorus: 
I don’t want to hold you back now
There’s nothing left to say

So I’m writing you this letter
That I’ll probably never send
But you can read it in your tea leaves
See just how the story ends
Chorus: 
Oh, I don’t want to hold you back now
Oh, There’s nothing left to say

Reading Tea Leaves

Glad to present a new collab with the exceptional https://soundcloud.com/muterial

The ambiance of https://soundcloud.com/muterial/chroma is incredible and it inspired me the below lyrics! Enjoy!

Blind, I'm blind
I can't see your colors
cauz I'm blind
But I can feel that you're bright
I can't see but I can feel
your warm being

But in the darkness the colors have a smell
the black of darkness colors my hell
but I can feel your warm being
by my side heating up with a light
a light full of colors

Black is all I know
I sometimes see a light
I sometimes feel a light
a colorful light

I was inspired by Liisa Pentti’s recording of “Black Is the Color” to do a remix of her interpretation of a traditional folk song.  I was so impressed with her performance and her beautiful voice, so I roughed out an initial version and sent it over to her.  She offered me her original recorded tracks, which enabled me to produce this posted version.  I am very thankful to Liisa for allowing me to do the remix and post it for your enjoyment.  Please visit her SoundCloud site @liisapentti and listen and comment on all of her amazing songs.

Lyrics

Verse 1
I don’t see a way you could find it here….

refrain
You got the sunlight on your skin
You’re looking for a win
Nothing heals your sin
Babe it’s time to go
Babe it’s time to go
You know it’s time to go
Again

Verse 2
See the rain
on the window
Crashing down again
Three miles from where we began…

refrain
You got the sunlight on your skin
You’re looking for a win
Nothing heals your sin

Babe it’s time to go
Babe it’s time to go
You know it’s time to go
Again

Verse 3
Well the rain keeps falling down
Nothing left to see in this old town
So much sin bringing us to the ground……

Refrain
You got the sunlight on your skin
You’re looking for a win
Nothing heals your sin

Babe it’s time to go
Babe it’s time to go
You know it’s time to go
Again

Outro
I see the sunlight now
I see the sunlight now
I feel the sunlight on my skin

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Well I Know
Well I know
I feel the sunlight on my skin
Well I know
There’s something happening here

Sunlight for your sins

This is Vimana,  an older release but still far out and a fun listen I think 

Lots of movement in here and once again I'm grateful to One Blind Mouse for handling up on the post production. 
Check out his music here - www.oneblindmouse.com  

Also was able to get my buddy Zolo.Future to lay down some bass.  Check out his ambient chill here - www.soundcloud.com/user-434472753
