Anapanasati (Mindfullness of Breath)

Unceasing Motion ...how to be?
At this pace…..hard to see?
The grand canvas scrawled by you and me
Lest we forget it is all a dream…..

The walls may crumble all around
The floor can drop out, plummeting down
The sky can fracture, fall apart. 
But just remember …...just breathe

The life the spirit the light inside you

Speak  Sati and Slow down time
Dharma vicay and analyze
Say Viriya, persist resist
Speak of Piti and energy it climbs
Whisper passadhi, calming of the mind

The walls may crumble all around
The floor can drop out, plummeting down
The sky can fracture, split apart. 
But just remember …...just breathe

The life the, the spirit, the beauty in you…..

Now its samadhi focused eyes
Upekha closes we realize
Enjoy the beauty and breath and life……..

Just breathe…..


Anapanasati!

For me, this DJ set was all about doing a deep dive into sound and exploring various releases of psychedelic dance music from some of my favorite labels. I hope you enjoy these Late Night Edition vibes, and have some memorable sonic discoveries of your own. The vast majority of these productions are 2021 releases and I believe showcase a very fresh, distinctive, and modern psychedelic Forest/Night-Psy sound.
A warm thank you 🙏 my friends for all of your continued support, and for listening. Together we are strong. Setlist and buy link details below ⬇︎

And as always, a deep gratitude for all of the immensely talented artists showcased here in my mix.

Cosmic Wanderlust | Late Night Edition

Written by Jule Styne for the 1960 Broadway musical "Do-Re-Mi"
Played by many but most notably recorded by the amazing Bill Evans for his album Alone (Again) (recorded in December 1975 but not released until 1977)
Enjoy XXX and MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY :)

Recorded at JB Studios Prague with a Yamaha C5 Grand.

Make Someone Happy

Travel

I usually wait a lot longer before posting tracks, but I decided to post this one on impulse today. This track is about the idea of summer. Although  I produced it a few weeks ago, and since yesterday was a gorgeous day, full of sunshine and birds singing, well, it made me feel hopeful, always does. I could already imagine myself relaxing or rather having fun on the beach with my love, both enjoying the calm soothing waves. I’m a romantic, can’t help it. 
So enjoy this beautiful sunny day with me. Love to all. Copyright protected ©

============= Lyrics ============
this is the way
you will obey
flesh will decay

worship the beast
almost complete

nothing to gain
can not obtain
stuck like a stain

hidden away
nothing to say

living in hell
trapped in a cell
under a spell

feel like a slave
money you crave

heaven on earth
you will convert
all that your worth

suffer in pain
can not maintain 
---------------------------------------
I'd help you get away but there is nowhere to go
were lost in the dark and nobody will  know

as time goes on the future in bleak
you will be silenced when you try to speak

watch what you say because they will hear
they control our lives and make us live in fear
------------------------------------------
filled with deceit
hitting delete
suffer defeat

foolish belief
nothing unique

run and retreat
butcher the meat
faster you eat

squeal like a pig
snap like a twig

follow the crowd
upload the cloud
praising the shroud

fall into line
now is the time

watch as you try
empty and dry
you will deny

this is the end
do not pretend

filled with deceit
hitting delete
suffer defeat

foolish belief
nothing unique
---------------------------------------------
I'd help you get away but there is nowhere to go
were lost in the dark and nobody will  know

as time goes on the future in bleak
you will be silenced when you try to speak

watch what you say because they will hear
they control our lives and make us live in fear

I Asked For More, I Wanted Less feat CRomanC and Wamont
(Remix of "Baby You Can Drive My Oil Rig")
Vocals, verse 1, written and recorded by CRomanC
Vocals, verse 2, written and recorded by Wamont

Have been a big fan of Ced at 'CRomanC' (soundcloud.com/cromanc) for quite a while, so was totally intrigued when he approached me about putting together a remix of "Baby, You Can Drive My Oil Rig". Intrigue turned to absolute delight when he sent this over, a brilliant reworking of the old track by he and his colleague Wamont (https://soundcloud.com/wamont).  Would heartily recommend you make a visit to both their pages,  where you'll find more examples of similarly superb sounds and gorgeous, silky vocals . 
Thanks for listening, my friends. Here's to a peaceful 2017…. (Gary Reeves).

Have Fun With My Guitar ❀◕‿◕❀

I feel blessed to be able to keep Alpha Roots’ vibe shining bright for the SoundCloud community to continue to enjoy. 

Alpha Roots sent me these reggae bass and rhythm guitar stem a long time ago, maybe even three years ago in 2016 (bad couch, bad couch)! I originally planned on having Evelyn (of the Reiki Run Rampant tracks on my page) sing over the rhythm but then I moved from Santa Cruz to Portland and she moved from the Pacific Northwest to Santa Cruz, bummer! So the stems sat in my hard drive until new inspiration arrived in the form of Johnny Minstrel, one of favorite song writers on SoundCloud, agreeing to write lyrics and sing over the track. Once Johnny added his deep felt lyrics and magical vocal chords to the mix, the rest of the song came together pretty quickly for me, lol! I often try to put together virtual bands for my tracks and I knew I had to have Jamie Rhind on the track since he worked with Alphio on multiple songs and a reunion was due. I always wanted to work with Jonathan Beckenstein, whose sensitive and thoughtful guitar work is always sublime. Darren and Russ came naturally.  My original drum production work was based on an old Sly Dunbar sample (I like to include the essence of some of my favorite artists in the tracks I work on) but the quality of the drums just wasn’t up to Russ’ standards, hahaha, so we brought Bitzone on board to lay down some drums and voila, roots reggae magic!

Big thanks to the band for coming together on this in fine fashion! Big ups to the SoundCloud community and the spirit of collaboration. Keep on digging! 

And massive thanks to Wou-Wou to bringing his visual arts talent to the project! My goal is to eventually put together a reggae album (possibly a double album which will also include some reggae collaborations between Alpha Roots and friends including Jamie Rhind and Russ Sinfield) with all profits going to the Cancer Research Institute. Be on the look out for a possible dub version of Red Earth Clay as well!!!

Lyrics: 
Hold you tongue don’t wag that finger
Just shine a light on me my friend
Too much fuss will only hinder
All the good things the spirit sends
We were made of dust and fire
Born beneath a brooding sky
On the stairs of Babel we climb higher 
To sights not seen by human eye

And now I dig, dig deep into the 
Red Earth Clay
Dig, dig deep
And I toil for no pay
I dig, dig deep into the
Red Earth Clay
Down to the root I’ll find my way

Some have called democracy into question
Saying we like sheep have gone astray
That it’s been the rich man’s intention
To steel by night and rule by day
I washed your feet with my tears
I wiped them dry with my hair
Can a hungry mouth still offer prayers
Or are they whispers of despair 

And now I dig, dig deep into the 
Red Earth Clay
Dig, dig deep
And I toil for no pay
I dig, dig deep into the
Red Earth Clay
Down to the root I’ll find my way
I dig, dig deep into the
Red Earth Clay
Dig, dig deep
And I toil for no pay
I dig, dig deep into the
Red Earth Clay
Down to the root I’ll find my way

The City - Words & Music by Pravinand Maharaj

Once it was a city
Now it’s just a street
With every mile another dream lays crushed
And the sun shows no pity
Pouring out its heat
As mighty towers crumble into dust

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

There were signs on the water
Portents in the sky
The Watchers blind by sleep didn’t see a thing
Six crows at the altar
A bargain for the price
Half less worth an eagle’s broken wing

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

What walks the moon at midnight
Through the narrow lanes 
Lurking in the shadows that it cast
A pestilence upon us, a blight
A spreading stain
Taking everything out on its path

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

So, sing the last love song written
Drink up the vineyard grape
Rouse the ghosts of tomorrow from their slumber
If I break out of this prison
And the hour’s not too late
I’ll be down the road without a name or number

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

LOOKING AT YOU, THE PICTURE SAYS A MILLION WORDS
JUST LOOK AT YOU, AND ON AND ON AND ON I GO

THINKING OF YOU, I COUNT THE DAYS THE WEEKS THE YEARS
I THINK I KNEW, A WAY TO FIND ANOTHER YOU

I.....I THINK ABOUT, THE TIMES WE HAD AND ALL THE FUN,
AND WHEN WE LAUGHED, TO SEE THE SUN COME UP AGAIN,
AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.....

I WISHED FOR YOU, BUT NEVER ONCE DID BREAK THE BONE
STILL LOVING YOU, AND ON AND ON AND ON I GO

I.....I THINK ABOUT, THE TIMES WE HAD AND ALL THE FUN,
AND WHEN WE LAUGHED, TO SEE THE SUN COME UP AGAIN,
AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.....
(BREAK)
I.....I THINK ABOUT, THE TIMES WE HAD AND ALL THE FUN,
AND WHEN WE LAUGHED, TO SEE THE SUN COME UP AGAIN,

Album 1981 - in the right order:
https://soundcloud.com/steve-fullyard/sets/1981a


This is the story of a man, which is probably in his prime, or on his way there, being totally drawn towards electronic music and synthesizers. 

In a state where he is highly working on his physical and mental skills and trying to pretty much live at fullest in the present day, there is still this longing back for and into the 80s, influencing his actions ...

One fateful day, there is this one paper ad, this one thing, which changes ... everything!

Enjoy this audio-visual journey into another world, and time.
HQ Version can be bought directly on Bandcamp.

Give Me Back The 80s (01)

Undergoing a baptismal rite of The Cloak might resemble something like this song describes. There is not much colloquial knowledge regarding the secret rituals of the Cloak, though many may imagine.

UroboroSoroborU (Part The Veil)

Track shows a very delicate theme and a quite hard-riffed part, both alternating and finally flowing up to an endless symphonic dream (words are half a poem I wrote previously (not these, but lyrics below)).

Letra  /  Translated lyrics:

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)  /  Don’t you wake up (Only a dream)

No... despierta... no... no despiertes  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up
no, cuidado... no despiertes, na na na na na...  /  no, take care ... don’t you wake up, na na na na na…
... despierta al fin y date cuenta  /  ... wake up at last and realize
de que todo ha sido un sueño, na na na na na...  /  everything has been a dream, na na na na na...

Una vez más, nervios y resentimiento,  /  Once again, nerves and resentment,
todo en mi vida es sueño, sólo ha sido eso.  /  everything in my life is a dream, it has only been so.

Y de nuevo, con el tiempo,  /  And again, with time,
incubando un nuevo sueño,  /  incubating a new dream,
me voy hundiendo en mis propios brazos,  /  I am sinking in my own arms,
me acuno, me canto y me voy acostumbrando...  /  cradle myself, sing to myself and get used...

Otro escenario, otros personajes,  /  Another stage, other characters,
la misma historia, na na na na na...  /  the same story, na na na na na...
que durará un día, un milenio,  /  which will last one day, a millenium,
toda mi vida, na na na na na...  /  all my life, na na na na na...

Pero sin duda vendrán a despertarme  /  But undoubtedly the laughs of people
las risas de la gente, alguna tarde.  /  will come to wake me up, any evening.

Y entonces, con miedo...  /  And then, fearfully...

No... despierta… no… no despiertes (…)  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up (…)

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)
