great!, I love it! The track has a fantastic atmosphere!

Great opening on the synth and guitar here...

A very dark journey Doc and it was very well portrayed with the words, voice and instrumentation my good friend and very well enjoyed the blast mate.

Great tune! Sharing your page on FB, in addition to posting your tunes on my re-post pages, as a way of showing appreciation for the support. This is the link to the FB Soundcloud page, but I have more than 20 cross-promotion group pages on there, so your SC page will gradually appear in all of them: https://www.facebook.com/groups/UnsignedArtistsOnSoundcloud/ If you have a FB page, would be good to connect, and for you to join the groups. Am committed to pro-active x-promotion. This is my FB page: https://www.facebook.com/stevendoes1 and I also have a radio show where I focus on featuring pro-active musicians, because I feel those are the ones that deserve the support most! MY PHILOSOPHY: WHATEVER'S DONE FOR ME, I DO IT BACK! WHATEVER LEVEL SUPPORT IS TAKEN TO, I MATCH IT, AND THEN GO FURTHER, because, In my world, it's a two-way-street! To get support we must give it :)

Great tune...love this opening. beautiful guitar/bass sound on synth.

very original...distinctive vocal style. great!

We're staying to this shelter, searching for information.
It's full of dangers we can't imagine out there.
In order to survive, we need more information.
We don't really know much about this planet.

Life, like on Mars. I t's so quiet here.
Just a strong wind is blowing.

We go out once every few weeks to get the supplies we need.
No one knows how long we will be able to get food and energy.
We'll never be able to use the word "boring daily life" again.
We probably won't be able to go back to the way things were.

Life, like on Mars. Can you hear me?
This is the perfect place for an astronaut.

We'll investigate and develop this planet.
This is where a new culture and economy is needed.

Organisms evolve in harsh environments.
We must adapt to this planet and become new creatures.
We can solve the problems of the past and create a new world.
We probably won't be able to go back to the way things were.

Life, like on Mars. It's so quiet here.
Just a strong wind is blowing.

Detroit Blues

You Took My Love For A Ride

I always got my blues second hand. By that I mean by artists that studied the old blues guys and developed their own blues. So I went back and looked at Robert Johnson and picked "Kind Hearted Woman Blues" and wrote my own lyrics to it. This turned out to be a lot harder than I had imagined. Not a good finger picker made this a big challenge and took me some time to be proficient enough (just enough) to record.
It's somewhat raw, but I tried to honor Mr. Johnson as best I could. Hope you enjoy.
My version relates to homelessness.
The picture is from Newsweek.

Lyrics:
Never met dad, wasn’t there, he wasn’t there when I was born.
	Never met him.
Heard he left my mom, when she needed him most.	That’s when he left her
Momma worked three jobs 
Just to make ends meet.	Yes she did.

Have a little sister, a little sister, haven’t seen her in 15 years.
	And that’s a long time.
Always think about her, but she lives too far to visit. Oh I miss her so.
Heard she’s married with two kids.
Hope her husband treats her well.  Yes I do.

<Chorus>
Been down on my luck, since the day I was born. I’ve had it tough.
I’ve been down on my luck, since the day I was born. The very first day
Chicken soup to warm my heart,
A shot of whiskey soothes my mind.  Yes it does.

Work the streets all day, for some change to get me by. Work all day.
People walk right by, never even bother with me, like I’m an invisible man.
Make due with what I have,
Every day is just another day.  Same old thing.

Life in the streets, mostly by myself, can be a lonley and scary place.	Oh yes it can.
I do what I want, noone to order me around, telling me what to do.
Good days and bad days,
Wouldn’t have it any other way.  No sir no.

<Chorus>

Outro:
Sometimes I wish I’d done better, and made a different life.
	Maybe done better.
But then I realize, this is where I belong. This is my place.
Should you pass me by.
Help out and stay to chat, or at least say hello.  Please do.

Polaris

For me sovereignty means: to stand back without taking off. Having an overview, a vision, a prudence and at the same time remaining in a deep connection with what I am currently looking at;
means for me: to float, a kind of flying, like becoming an eagle and at the same moment a centipede, who feels with every touch the earth that carries me;
means for me: to know my own possibilities and limits well, like a tightrope walker balancing the antinomies of life;
means for me: to become silent, to be peacefully still, to act and express myself by simply being there....and so it comes that this song gets along without words.   
While recording this song I imagined myself sitting on a mountain; completely alone and totally connected to what surrounds me. 
I hope that some of the sovereignty, as I understand it, comes across in this purely instrumental track.

Einleitung in deutscher Sprache:

Souveränität heißt für mich: Abstand nehmen, ohne abzuheben. Einen Überblick, eine Weitsicht, eine Umsichtigkeit haben und zugleich in einer tiefen Verbundenheit mit dem bleiben, was ich gerade betrachte;
heißt für mich: schweben, eine Art fliegen, wie zu einem Adler werden und im selben Moment ein Tausendfüßler sein, der mit jeder Berührung die Erde spürt, die mich trägt;
heißt für mich: Die eigenen Möglichkeiten und Grenzen gut kennen, wie ein Seiltänzer die Antinomien des Lebens austarieren;
heißt für mich: still werden, friedvoll schweigen, durch einfaches dasein wirken und sich ausdrücken.....und so kommt es, daß dieser Song mal ganz ohne Worte auskommt.   
Bei der Aufnahme dieses Songs habe ich mir vorgestellt, auf einem Berg zu sitzen; völlig alleine und völlig verbunden mit dem, was mich umgibt. 
Ich hoffe, daß von der Souveränität, wie ich sie verstehe, ein wenig in diesem reinen Instrumental-Track rüberkommt.

Lollipops and Lullabies

Your missing penance for the seventh time and it's bound to rain
your heart is aching for the seventh time as you watch it break

Your hand is reaching for the nearest door as you watch it shake
your mind is searching for the freest thought that it just can't make

If I could find a way, to break through all the chains about you now
It's just so hard to breath, where others simply refuse to see her now

You once were promised such a great reward, and you just can't wait
and all those things you held so dearly close, now you simply hate

Two steps you say goodbye, to lollipops and lullabies for now
and there was no one there, to idolize or compare to now

Your missing penance for the seventh time and it's bound to rain
your heart is aching for the seventh time as you watch it break

Lollipops and Lullabies

"Wobbly guitars old synths, valve amps, homemade instruments, unreliable equipment and cracked voices makes our output sparse but we love to jam". Words from Doc's long and disjointed memories.
