SOULBENDER & OTHER STRANGE WORDS

New World 2.

The song's direct message is about life and personal resilience, something that has gained a lot of traction in recent years in psychology and therapy.  

Beyond that is a message for Ukraine, in the context of Putin's WAR and attempted annihilation of Ukraine: "Bend, Don't Break!" 

Lyrics:
  Bend

I should have rolled with the punches
Drifted left and to the right
Instead I went and stuck my chin out
And had to duck more than once or twice

Bend…don’t you break…

I nearly fell more than ten thousand
Leaping tall and stony spires
Inarticulate these feelings, but tunes play
Ephemeral drawings white and blinding!

Bend…don’t break    (repeats)

Greetings all you wonderful SC people. First and foremost, thank you for just being you. This community has a natural propensity for giving off peaceful and loving vibes, and I am so grateful for that. 

In lieu of my usual dive into current events (I think we can all agree, it’s something along the lines of a ‘Choose Your Own Doomsday Adventure’ anyway), I’ve decided to jump right into the good stuff. So for this one, I’m going to explore one of my favorite topics… God (and please know that I will keep this very loving, and very respectful. But if you aren’t interested, I understand entirely). :)

I’ve been called a spiritual shopper because I don’t adhere to any one religious organization. Instead, my God is an ever evolving, ever expanding concept. I discover truths about God in quantum physics as well as religious studies. I see God in both art and science. I see God’s fingerprint in the perfection of a leaf, and the purity of a baby; and just about any other space where my mind goes quiet and my heart opens up. For me, God is the great mystery to discover; and it is meant to be a very personal journey. 

So how do I currently imagine God?

‘He’ (I’ll be following appropriate pronoun usage) is a kind Father who loves all his children equally. He doesn’t choose favorites, because he admires and respects the path we have each chosen. He knows we are all perfect beings (on a path of self discovery), because… well… he’s perfect (and on a path of self discovery). He also feels empathy for us, and shares in our sadness and pain when we hurt each other. But he loves us enough to know he can’t interfere with the big picture, or he will limit our opportunity to learn.

‘She’ is also a kind and loving Mother, who has entrusted us with a precious gift…. the gift of this beautiful planet. Contrary to our current behavior, the Earth is not our plaything, put here for us to consume. We are intended to be its caretakers (a responsibility that arises when consciousness is combined with empathy). She knows we have it within us to serve this purpose. But she also knows it’s ok if we fail, because the system is self-cleaning, and life will rise again and again… if not on this planet, then another.

‘It’ is also a vast and mysterious Universe, where life seems to be an almost aggressive energy, rather than a rarity. The building blocks of life are scattered everywhere, and Ubers and Lyfts in the form of meteors help spread all those building blocks around. Life appears to be a predominant goal of the Universe, rather than a fluke. And that is awe inspiring.

‘They’ are also the smallest of objects that serve the biggest of purposes. They are the atoms that make up you and me, and all the things around us. They behave differently when observed; and that denotes intelligence. And they act as if they are intimately tied to us; like they know they are supposed to take turns occupying matter in our bodies, so our adventures can continue; the microcosm supporting the macrocosm.

‘We’ are also amazingly diverse in our roles as ‘collective consciousness’, in order to experience the entire range of what it means to be alive. We have it within us to explore the lightest and darkest of corners. And when those boundaries are pushed to the extremes, we all learn a little more about ourselves; and more about this precious gift. 

And finally, ‘you’ are an independent fragment of this greater Whole. The scope of the entire human experience is available to you. Some choices can be beneficial; other’s will certainly lead to pain. But all will provide learning experiences. And when you learn, the Whole grows as well. You are all God in my eyes (each fulfilling a role in ‘the great discovery’), and I am honored to share this adventure with you. 

I hope you enjoyed my latest creation, ‘Shock Ra’. :)

Vox Populi

Shock Ra

I'm driving around the UK living in a van called Travis. As we drive around we get to talk to lots of different people and like to write songs inspired by some of the notable ones we meet. This is inspired by Imogen aka 'Scout' who was the previous owner and namer of Travis and so helped to get us started on this whole adventure.

Lyrics:

Scout dreams of a better world
Think of more than just to please ourselves

Loves sustainability
Conservation work and planting trees

Scout knows where to go
Life's a winding road
Whether we have near or far to go
Scout knows where to go

Principles live without fear
Conscience can be hard for them to hear

Ostracised and turned away
Judged by the society she saves

Scout knows where to go
Life's a winding road
Whether we have near or far to go
Scout knows where to go

Scout

LYRICS:

In summertime we find you fallow
The waves are rolling into the shallow
The leaves are falling
The engine’s stalling now
The mood is calling out for a change

Oh, your honesty’s on show
And oh, it’s gonna have to go

The evening air descends with a promise
An unread note on a tree in a forest
The names are chosen
The night is closing in
The thought’s imposing on you now

Oh, your honesty’s on show
And honestly it’s gotta go

Your Honesty [2022 Rework]

Fighting Man's Son

I’ll Be There For You

© Andrew Dolphin 14/11/2023

V1
Monsters in the rear view of your mind
Images that are clearly defined 
Battle through that landscape 
Fighting for some air
Your head is used as stepping stones 
Crying in despair 

Chorus
Tell me what you want
And I’ll follow through
Whatever’s in your head
I’ll be there for you 
Tell me what you need
And I’ll be on cue
Whatever life serves up 
I’ll be there for you 

V2
Your thoughts are building islands off shore
Saves you from the life you can’t endure
It’s socially a minefield 
It’s mentally a drain 
Physically a melting down
Constantly in pain

Chorus

M8
Maybe in time you’ll find your cure
And float above it all 
Don’t you know you have to try 
To teach yourself to fly
Escape the island life 

Chorus

I'll Be There For You

I’m happy to post this song with help from my first SC friend https://soundcloud.com/espere-verde, who encouraged me on to improve my music making from a very start. Good musician & draughtsman (he did this artwork too), his vocal performance here gave the mood I couldn’t to the song.

Technical highlights:
>Most vocals: Espere Verde
>Music & almost no vocals: Ruizzoidman
>Odd patterns hidden along three levels in this track: amalgamated psycho-hard coating, usual 7/2 in punk/ska intermediate parts, and finally the sweater core is structured in groups of five measures.

Lyrics: strangely, I wrote about these stressing things when I was 21 and supposedly happy; I'd say similarly today I'm twice as old...

SIN MUJERES NI TABACO, SIN PRISAS  /  WITHOUT WOMEN OR TOBACCO, WITHOUT HURRIES
  
Todo lo que odio me ayuda a vivir,  /  Everything I hate helps me to live,
lo que me pone enfermo me empuja a seguir.  /  what gets me ill pushes me on.
Todo aquello que quiero dejar de sentir  /  Everything I want to stop feeling
es lo que da sentido a mi vivir.  /  is what gives sense to my life.
  
No puedo vivir sin mujeres,  /  I cannot live without women,
ni tabaco, sin prisas,  /  or tobacco, without hurries,
no puedo vivir.  /  I cannot live.
  
Mi ración horaria de tabaco  /  My hourly ration of tobacco
me mata por dentro.  /  kills me from inside.
Mi ración horaria de tabaco  /  My hourly ration of tobacco
me ayuda a vivir.  /  helps me to live.
Mi ración diaria de prisas  /  My daily ration of hurries
me saca los nervios.  /  gets me on my nerves.
Mi ración diaria de prisas  /  My daily ration of hurries
me empuja a seguir.  /  pushes me to continue.
  
Mi ración … de mujeres  /  My … ration of women 
me hace sufrir.  /  makes me suffer.
Mi ración … de mujeres  /  My … ration of women 
me ayuda a vivir.  /  helps me to live.

the crowd is asking questions
time to feed the brains of fools
we're on the speedway of the global news
we have a serious network
we run the big machines
we keep you quiet with bread and games
it will quench the flame
isn't the weather nice today?

who gets fooled again

in the age of populism
sweeping around the globe
we are dealing with an overdose
of phrases, bubbles, airholes
advertisement and empty shells
we guarantee your comfort zone
trust us you are not alone
so better stay at home

who gets fooled again

Walk Alone
