HIGH FIVE FOR THE NEW YEAR !!!

Someone Elsewhere (3rd version)

If God's too trendy for nirvana 
then I'm too gay, too gay to be confused 
I ask for love, you say you gonna
do it yourself, you're into self abuse,

Cuz what is love, when I get wasted
Love is a stain on my shirt, I won't erase it...

Finish your dinner before you kill me
Finish your life before dessert
You can feed me your stories but you'll never fill me
Hit me with pain, but it ain't gonna hurt,

Cuz what is love, when I get wasted
Love is stained on my soul, I won't erase it...

And I wonder why the Sun only shines thru your window in the night but not thru mine,
And I know that you've been dying to see my conscious under your foot,
And I know that you would kill me, yeah if you could... but you can't,

...cuz what is love, when I get wasted,
what is love, when we get wasted...

When you fall in love, you fall deeper and deeper into a shit hole...
Love is for suckas, I rather get wasted...
...now fuck off.

Lyrics "Hidden Fears"

I keep walking down the street with nowhere to go
Nobody cares about us (not anymore)
I feel like a stranger and that’s all I know (aaah)
I run in circles I can’t escape

I need an answer
Those faces keep haunting me
I need an answer
Remember who I want to be

I don’t understand
This world burns in flames
Again, the ashes surrounding me
My tears don’t let me see the sky

Where did it all go?

Time goes by
while memories fade
I’m in a mouse wheel
And I can’t let it GO!
I can’t hide
My feelings deep inside
And I am becoming crazy
‘cause I need to let it go!

Missunderstood
No one will hear me
I am a prisoner
Of my own mistakes

I close my eyes
I Can’t turn back time
Trying to find somewhere I can go resurrected
Ruins and embers
I can’t remember

I need an answer
I want to let myself go
I need an answer
Remember why I’m still here

Somebody hurt me
Somebody hurt you
Again, you can feel overwhelmed
Go find yourself and run away

Where did it all go?

All that is hidden will one day explode

Beautiful pieces flying around the world

Chris: Lyrics & melody arrangement/vocals/Brauchli lapslide/audio engineering
Martin: Bass, rhythm, main guitars, shruti, instrumental arrangement & recording.
Another collaboration re-imagining the tradition, with Martin Kirwan…we’ve made this one a free download if you enjoy it. Martin has composed and played the instrumental on layered guitar tracks and shruti, and I've re-arranged the lyrics and vocal melody. As always, I'm blown away by his beautiful playing and imaginative blending of cultural sounds. https://soundcloud.com/tradladsaughrim

This gem can be found in Buntings Ancient Music of Ireland, and the "literal  translation from the original Irish" was undertaken by a Miss Mary Balfour, (there is a slightly different  translation in my 1897 book The Minstrelsy of Ireland). 
The original Irish song was believed to have been collected by an agent of Bunting's associates the McCrackens - a man called Patrick Lynch...who collected over 200 songs from singers around the Mayo area in the early 1800's but this man was never acknowledged in the publication. 
The original tune was believed to have been first published as "Ye Trugh" by Neal in 1724, but Bunting got it from Charles Byrne at a harpist's gathering around the 1790's.

"Arise from thy slumbers, oh fairest of maids!
With me wilt thou wander to Truigha's green shades,
Where sorrel and bright rowan berries abound,
And nuts in rich clusters the branches have crowned.

A bed of fresh ivy to rest thee I'll bring,
The blackbirds and thrushes around us shall sing,
And there with unceasing attachment I'll prove,
How soothing the cares of affection and love.

In my contemporary arrangement I've made the English lyrics flow a bit better.

Vocal: Jan Schonander

Thanks very much to Wypernet https://soundcloud.com/wypernet for allowing me to add a vocal to his wonderful instrumental.

"Chan Chan" is a 1984 son composition by Cuban trovador Compay Segundo. It was first recorded in 1985 by Compay Segundo's own group. In 1987, he approached Eliades Ochoa, who agreed to record a version with the Cuarteto Patria. However, EGREM did not release these recordings until the second half of the 1990s. In November 1995, Compay recorded a new version in Madrid for his Antología, released on CD the following year. In March 1996, Compay Segundo, Eliades Ochoa and other veteran Cuban musicians recorded a new version of the song as part of the Buena Vista Social Club project. The song became the opening track of their eponymous album and the group's signature song, thereby achieving international fame.

Lyrically, the song is set on the beach and revolves around two central characters called Juanica and Chan Chan. The most complete explanation says: 'The song relates the story of a man and a woman (Chan Chan and Juanica) who are building a house, and go to the beach to get some sand. Chan Chan collects the sand and puts it on the jibe (a sieve for sand). Juanica shakes it, and to do so she shakes herself, making Chan Chan embarrassed. [...] The origin of this tale is a farmer song learnt by Compay Segundo when he was twelve years old.

The most recognizable part of the song is its chorus, whose lyrics are as follows:

De Alto Cedro voy para Marcané
Llego a Cueto voy para Mayarí

From Alto Cedro I go to Marcané
I get to Cueto, then head for Mayarí

VERSE 1
Your all I need right now, come on give it to me,
watch me shake it on the floor for ya sexually, 
pull me close, touch my body, press your lips on mine,
Kiss me soft, Close your eyes, let the planets align,  
Feel the energy between us as we dance in the dark
You got me burning up,  igniting a spark                               
Temperatures rising, take me up to the top
I’m so hot, I can’t breath, I don’t want you to stop,           
Run your hand right up my thigh, kiss me on the neck,
Grab me by the waist,  keep making me sweat,
You got me so hot, come on boy make a move
give me what I need, you got nothing to lose,             
Let me show you how to do it, move around to the beat,
Keep grindin’ all night, I wanna feel the heat,
Tease me with your touch, so gentle and smooth…. 
And do it to me right now, that little thing that you do…

HOOK:
Shake your body for me, let me see you get down,
Bounce your  booty to the beat, move to the sound,
Don’t you know what you do to me, You Make me so hot that I can’t breathe 
Come on baby your all I need , right now…..

VERSE 2
Turn the music up yeah were setting the mood
wrap me up in your arms, make me feel good,
I like the way you do it, get closer to me,
I need someone like you, baby come set me free,
You raise me up when I’m with you, I feel like I can fly,
you swept me of my feet, now I'm touching the sky,
You Got me so hot, can't find the words to describe,
The sensations, The vibrations, I get deep down inside,
When I'm alone in my bed, I dream of you in night,
can't get enough of what you do cause you do it just right,
The way you put it on me, looking me in the eyes,
grinding up against me, grabbing me by the thighs,
Your my obsession, got me sweating, when you turn up the heat,
It's crazy, I can’t take it, when your not here with me,
so come on boy don't be shy, I've been waiting for you,
to do it to me right now, that little thing that you do.

Right Now - ft. Lost Angel of Havik

A New Year - a new project : ) 
Grundomma is myself and my brother Glenn Ward. Its been a few years since we actively made music together...but now seems like a good a time as any. We live a few 1000 kms apart across Australia so this a file swapping exercise. The first track "Flying" features Glenn on rhythm programming, synths and sampling and yours truly on Basses and glitchy noise stuff.. this will no doubt change with each future track. Thanks as always for stopping by. Grundomma salutes you : )

Flying

A sort of remix of Twisted Remains, which is an earlier track

Re - Twisted Remains

“People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.” – Dr. Who “Blink”

It's OK

Pronouns

Verse 1:
Yes I grew up with he and she and they
I was the me in my land night and day

They was a pronoun for plural
As if it was on a giant mural

Chorus:
I was unaware 
that in the air
these pronouns 
needed a slowdown 

Verse 2:
“They” meant a group of people
Especially for those under the steeple
They wasn’t an individual
Despite the visual

I never dreamed 
And so it seemed
That someone would prefer
That they refer to  her

Final Verse:
Basic humanity
Call someone what they want
Be it he, she, they or something else

Unused Lyrical Ideas:
they may not fit everyone, 
and it’s not always fun
that it might be a preferred pronoun for an individual
Even someone viewed as irresistible
Now there are choices that an individual may prefer
I hear Ze, Hir, Hirs, 
However the plural they/them/theirs my be preferred in it’s singular form 
as it is more encompassing of gender
Yes, its basic human empathy
If someone goes by he, then call them he
If someone goes by she, then call them she
If someone goes by they, then call them they
Non-binary
Gay

A little 2 minute Instrumental thang for ya all on new years day. Digging into my Celtic roots again!

Happy new year,you talented bunch.

Celtic Thang

When https://soundcloud.com/dneye asked me for a track to play his fantastic guitars on, I brainstormed this 5/4 piece with odd chord set in order to make it difficult to him and thus get the best from his skills. After programming it, I added some organic solos (yep I played keys) to make it seem more friendly ;))))

And he... succeeded in the challenge, overcoming all my expectations !!!

Five by D'n'Eye: guitar1, guitar2, guitar3, guitar4, harp.
Five by E-Ruizzo: piano, bass, mellotron, organ, drums.

Hope you'll enjoy this our first post in the new year !!
