Something Brand New feat. Frawstakwa

It was a hard piece of work, but it was worth it: 
As part of an artist grant from the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of NRW/Germany in the wake of the Corona pandemic, a piece of music was created that consists of 6 different arrangements and involved 6 artists including a blackbird.
The piece is in the tradition of the Hip Hop-Cyphers as well as in the interlaced compositions of 70s Prog-Rock.
The goal was to connect the individual parts so that in the end a homogeneous but multi-layered overall work comes out.
I think that has succeeded!
Of course, this was only possible because I found really excellent fellow musicians, big thanks to Couch King, Christian Kappe, Lady of Fire Poetry and Frawstakwa! And of course to Blackbird "Miles" for his wonderful jazzy chirping.

Lyrics in order of appearance:

Lyrics Lady of Fire Poetry:
Not Alone
We are fragments of one another
Breathing in bits of you bits of me
We came exploding out from nothing
But gravity
Crashing into each other
Making this pretty wave called humanity
We love by trial and error
We follow our hearts
reaching the center of ourselves
Each beat a musical beacon
So we may explore our horizons
then reach a familiar shore
When you are lost again
Remember you are never alone
Come back to home

Lyrics Couch King:
Everyday looking clues 
Ashtray’s, dinners, and booze 
Dossiers, hard drives, and blues 
They’s lost reality from watching the news 
I gain the truth from being a recluse 
Nothing to loose 
No one left to cut loose 
Leave no print from my shoes 
Cold stone stare like medusa 
Old bones don’t care I accuse ya 
Poker face beware I confuse ya 
Short lace thin hair Short fuse 
Mean street bruisa, I paid all my dues ah 
Hot on my tail but still I refuse 
To get off the trail 
Of shady interviews 
Digging up fools 
Gold to derail 
Encrypted email 
I must be getting too close 
The woke got no time to doze

Lyrics Frawatakwa:
trials
and tribulations
who 
is even asking though
‘cause seriously you never know
could just be inner dialogue
with me myself and I 
besides
what 
would you want to know
all that for anyway though
c’mon I’m sure you’ve got problems
of your own on your mind
so
where
will we even go
to from there 
who could know
and how can any outcome
that we happen to arrive 
at
when
all is said and done
be considered satisfactory
if it comes at a price
that’s too much to pay
tell me why
why
should I continue 
to carry on a mission
which has proven itself 
to be so difficult 
as if it isn’t 
is it the human condition
controlling decision making
or am I following visions
unique to my third eye

an exercise in sacrifice
yet it’s fine
yeah 
that’s right

everything I do 
is for the greater good
playing nice

never mind 

hammer strikes
the anvil twice
sparks will fly

The next track in a Corona artist grant (NRW/Germany).
Without many words. The words are in the music.  
Jazz meets beats and rap and there's a surprise at the end.

Lyrics:
Frawstakwa:
What’s it like outside?
Hmmm
Looks nice
On and on
The calm
Before the phenomenon

Attention please
As we interrupt 
Whatever it is 
That you’re doing
Out there because
We’ve just discovered 
That a storm has been brewing

CKP:
A storm has been brewing
It’s coming for us
Out there because
Of what they are up to
A body corrupt 
Attention please
 Frawstakwa: 
Reports are coming in 
From multiple locations 
A shift has been noticed
Something’s in the air 
As the rains begin
They bring with them a wave of
Gale force winds
Bearing down on a tear

CKP:
Impervious the pavement
Water in the basement
Sewer line displacement 
Overload the system 
Waste water victim 
Flowing back 
Treatment plant
Out of capacity 
Waterborne catastrophe 
 
Frawstakwa & CKP:
Storm of the century 
Rising from the heat
Music in the streets 
Stalled front’s no time to chill
Traffics at a stand still
living takes the backseat 
Dancing to the beat

Pitter patter
The rain drops

Frawstakwa:
Hail sleet and snow
Barometric pressure
Should never be this low
At this time of year
Conditions are close
To surpassing the threshold
God bless the souls
Who couldn’t steer clear
 CKP:
Infrastructure hardened
In climates regarded 
As colder while in
Grids less resilient 
Demand spike fulfillment 
Is less than sufficient 
Left as deficient 
This crisis will see less lives lived

Frawstakwa:
Flood waters are rising
Quickly icing over
Placing many drivers
In danger take care
Traffic is grinding
To a halt 
Hear the sound 
In the distance 
Of horns as they blare

CKP:
Don’t attempt to travel
As emotions unravel 
Unless you’re in a fragile
Situation in need of
Quick evacuation retreat of 
The basement 
Low income displacement 
Outta compliant encasement 

Frawstakwa & CKP:
Storm of the century 
Rising from the heat
Music in the streets 
Stalled front’s no time to chill
Traffics at a stand still
living takes the backseat 
Dancing to the beat

Frawstakwa:
Improving conditions
Refreshing 
Washing away 
In such a rush
The light thud
Of droplets 
Upon window panes
Out of reach
Out of touch

CKP:
Where 
Do we 
Go from here
When tenants have
To live in fear
When there
Housing can’t 
Withstand 
Severe
Weather conditions  

Frawstakwa:
The skies
They are clearing
The water subsiding
What puddles remain
Children splash without care
Whatever we’re going through
Weather the storm 
No matter what 
Anytime anywhere 
 
Frawstakwa & CKP:
Storm of the century 
Rising from the heat
Music in the streets 
Stalled front’s no time to chill
Traffics at a stand still
living takes the backseat 
Dancing to the beat

In the Land of Autumn

This was a straight forward melody I wrote some years back which I’ve never wrapped up until I came across the famous poem “The Road Not Taken” few years ago.  I found that with very minor changes, the poem fit perfectly into my melody.  So the result is this song here which I now call it “Two Roads”.
Let me know what you think & thanks for stopping by.

Lyrics – Adopted from “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost

[LYRICS]
Two roads diverged in a wood
Sorry I could not travel both
Be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could

Took the other just as fair
It was grassy and wanted wear
Had worn them about the same
And having perhaps the better claim


(Chorus)
And both that morning equally lay
I kept the first for another day
In leaves no step had trodden black
I doubted if I should (ever) come back


I'll be telling this with a sigh
Two roads diverged in a wood and I
Took the one less traveled by
And guess that has made all the differences

Instrumental

Repeat Chorus

Both that morning equally lay
I kept the first for another day
In leaves no step had trodden black
I doubted if I should ever come back

Knowing how way leads on to way

Don't let your fears stop up. See past your fears to what is right in front of you. And know that you can take control and not let your fears control you. 

Some Lyrics

THE FEAR
IT BUILDS
AND GROWS
DAY BY DAY
THROWS US
OFF OUR PATH
GOING THE
WRONG WAY

OUR WRONG
DIRECTION LEADS
TOO INFECTION
WHEN FALSE
TRUTHS BECOME
PROOF PROJECTION

WHAT I KNOW IS
TRUE THERE'S POWER
IN ME AND YOU
TO HEAL WHAT
WE'VE BEEN THROUGH

SEE PAST THE FEAR
AND LIES YOU'RE
POWERFUL BEYOND
MEASURE
BE YOUR CURE
YOUR PEACE
YOUR TREASURE

The Fear

This song is about a drifter who roles into ghost town where he sees shadows silhouette of people from a long time ago. He thinks that they are real and experiences an evening of southern hospitality that includes a bottle of bourbon whisky. It's when he wakes up in the morning that he thinks if it was all in his head....Were they just visions he had in that ghost town. The deeper meaning to the song is that we live in a world we think is real, formed by our experiences and influenced by the environment. However, there may come a time when we wake up to the reality as it really is. Life is formed around ghosts and sillouettes who can influence our behaviour. As Marcus Aurelius once words are opinions not facts....or in the modern era....wake up and taste the coffee.

Lyrics: 
The tumbleweed roles down a dusty boardwalk
In a ghost town in New Mexico
Shadows silhouette in the evening sun
Of people from a long time ago
As the moon rises on the horizon
A drifter rides in. You could tell where he’s been
After days on the road feeling saddle sore
All he could think “I need a cool drink.
I need a good woman and more”.

There was southern hospitality he’d never seen before
They welcomed him into the local bar
With a bottle of bourbon and a home cooked meal
He felt like a movie star. 
Soon the bottle was dry 
His head rolled back, and he closed his eyes
Few have walked in the drifter’s shoes
He’d crossed many lines so many times 
Life could be good to a few.

Well, the mist fell down on the old ghost town
As he closed his eyes and fell asleep
It’s more than in his head
It’s more than what he thought and said- skin deep

The drifter he woke on the morning sunrise
He turned and opened his eyes
Looking through the haze of an empty glass
He saw to his surprise
The bar was empty, not a soul in sight
He raised to his feet then looked down the street
He was on his own felt shivers to his bones
Was it all in his mind? Was it all in his head?
Were they visions he had in that ghost town?

One thousand miles from Texas
