Не плач

The remains of love cherish every  moment.

All That Remains

If you only knew how hard I tried
To put on my happy face and act like I’m satisfied
Then maybe you might start to understand
Why I can’t stick around and and be your happy man.

I want to see what’s over the next hill
This present situation is making me feel ill
I’m gonna keep on trying until I get it right
And I don’t care if it takes me the rest of my life

I’ve spent way too many years in front of a computer screen
Absorbing radiation, designing complicated machines
Some folks would tell me that I’ve got it made
It’s not a backbreaking job and at least I’m getting paid

I know there’s lots of people who are worse off than me
And I’ve got no right to complain
They say the grass is greener on the other side of the fence
But I suspect when I get there it’ll be the same

So I maintain the status quo
I try to go with the flow
Every day I ask myself 
Should I stay or should I go

I want to see what’s over the next hill
This present situation is making me feel ill
I’m gonna keep on trying until I get it right
And I don’t care if it takes me the rest of my life

I’m gonna keep on trying until I get it right
And I don’t care if it takes me the rest of my life

Gonna  Keep On Trying

"A Love Like No Other"

Recollections of flowing memories from when you entered my life
Your long black flowing hair & those beckoning eyes that still call me
It was obvious that we were never through which is why I returned
And in this world, who could ever say they knew of romance like this?
A Love Like No Other

Am deeply sorry for the pain I caused from an addiction that destroyed me
You were always the one & I struggled to cope with all I could not say
As time slowly passes by, I know in my heart you will be back in my arms one day
A Love Like No Other, a girl that gave me a reason to smile
A Love Like No Other, the connection of two souls that become one

Shane Beck (The Last American Poet)

1 - A Love Like No Other - Shane Beck

Woolly words that itch and scratch
Fickle threads that snick and catch
Sulking silk that shuns the light
And hugs the flesh far too tight

Polished people
Grace and grammar
Sniper diction
Whip and hammer
All a whisper
Silent chuckle
Just like daddy’s
Belt and buckle

Don't you understand me?
Don't you value me?
What's the game we're playing?
Just what are you saying?

Ain’t’s a word that ain’t alright
Raise the nose and take the bite
Tasting sweet for salty tears
Excrete on plebs those inner fears

Polished people
Grace and grammar
Sniper diction
Whip and hammer
All a whisper
Silent chuckle
Just like daddy’s
Belt and buckle

Me and him or is it him and I?
The team are trying - is that wrong? And why?
I don’t need no help, no thanks
A thousand pricks and a million wanks

Polished people
Grace and grammar
Sniper diction
Whip and hammer
All a whisper
Silent chuckle
Just like daddy’s
Belt and buckle

Woolly words that itch and scratch
Tell on the teller, and catch the catch

Texte : Sanzen
Chant : Baie des Anges
Musique : Alain Illos

J'ai retrouvé le goût, 
la force de vouloir.
 Revenu des confins, 
des ciels brouillés...

Voleur de mots,
je me suis enfui
En quête de fleurs rares, 
de plages où je languis.

Et j'invente un pays
qui me ressemble.
Fait de soleil et d'océan. 
De parfums qui embaument

J'ajoute mes mots,
aux voix qui psalmodient. 
Enfin, je sens ce que je suis.
 La divine comédie...

Et j'invente une vie 
qui me ressemble, 
un paradis.

Revenu des confins,
voleur de mots, amoureux... 
Je sais qu'il est trop tard,
 pour être heureux.

Et mon âme en déclin 
et mon coeur fatigué. 
Et les soleils mouillés
 et les plus rares fleurs

Et j'invente une vie 
qui me ressemble,
un paradis.
Voleur de mots, 
enchantent mon âme...

So I made this song and Paul Craig was nice enough to sing it. Thank you very much for your listen!

Down the River ( with Paul Craig)

Life just kind of got in the way.  
You put those dreams on the shelf for another day.
You thought you’d get around to doing
all those things on your bucket list.
But lately it feels like you’re running out of time
 and you’ve got this urge to lay it on the line.
You tell yourself you’re going to do it, but then you hear this voice in your head.
Making up excuses for why you should take the easy road instead.

Sometimes the answers aren’t in a book
Sometimes you gotta leap before you look
Sometimes you gottta take a shot and let the chips fall where they may.
Sometimes you gotta pick up your bat and give it a really big swing.
Sometimes you gotta get up on that stage and open your mouth and sing

It feels like nobody’s on your side
You wish you had someone with whom you could confide
You’re afraid if you tell people what you’re trying to achieve you’ll seem delusional
You tell yourself that even though you’re no longer a young pup
That doesn’t mean you should take off your hat and hang it up

Time has a way of passing by quicker than you think
We all share the same ultimate fate
You’d better do it before it’s too late
You can keep making excuses or you can try to get something done
Even if you don’t succeed, you can try to make the journey fun

Sometimes the answers aren’t in a book
Sometimes you gotta leap before you look
Sometimes you gottta take a shot and let the chips fall where they may.
Sometimes you gotta pick up your bat and give it a really big swing.
Sometimes you gotta get up on that stage and open your mouth and sing

No Excuses

Hip Hop fans on Soundcloud are likely to have come across the prolific talent of Ian Greaves (aka @IPG1). Ian's smart & slick vocal tracks are widely used in collaboration by other artists, as I've done here with one of his more popular lyric tracks, "Modern Times".  

On this collaboration, all lyrics are written & sung by IPG1, and most of the music is performed by me, with the exception of the sampled vocalization in the middle bridge and ending, and a few minor sound effects here & there. The beginning starts off normal enough, but the middle section takes a bit of a left turn before I 'go off' on the synth in the second half. I kind of enjoyed working the sliders on the live synth performance.   ;)

HUGE thanks to IPG1 for his generosity and helping me put together what is effectively my first hop hop tune, originally composed as an instrumental track. The lyrics are a topic close to my heart too, so really enjoyed being able to add my 2 cents in a way. 

Here's the link back to IPG1's original vocal track; please give him a listen!:

And here's a link to the instrumental version, which was composed first before adding Ian's lyrics:

I don't gotsta tell y'all this would be best played loud with headphones.   ;)
