NEW CREATIONS BY THE INTERCITY MONKEYS

Do you have a feeling you know this track? You probably heard it 13.7 billion years ago when our pretty Universe got created! 😉🌌🌠🌎

A lil bit of my blue Fender Stratocaster, OB-Xa, MiniMoog and other Arturia V synth plugs.

Cover art: NASA Earth "hairs" (dark matter filaments streaming thru the Earth) + Michelangelo (of course) + color flairs & glitches on Photoleap app (required).

Musically yours! ~ S.P. ~

Impressions

Creation

Piece inspired by romanticism in the city: love within concrete walls, poetry beneath artificial light...

Three vocal parts (translated lyrics below) became in very different moods in the songwriter phase, so I couldn't fit them in the same tempo. Working hard on transitions, I got the following solution:

Intro: ad libitum
A: 6/4 & 5/4 at 147bpm
B: 4/4 at 220bpm
C: 4/4 at 293bpm

Such ABC pattern is repeated twice, structured with some city scenes, and 2nd 'C' part includes a guitar soloing lesson by https://soundcloud.com/paco-ray, old friend of mine, technical consultor and personal luthier ;)

LETRA / LYRICS:

DAS VIDA A MI CIUDAD      /      YOU GIVE LIFE TO MY CITY

En la ciudad donde vivo,     /   In the city where I live,
llena de romanticismo,       /   full of romanticism,
el cariño que has perdido    /   the affection you have lost,
ven a buscarlo conmigo.      /   come to look for it with me.

Las farolas en la acera,    /    The lamps along the sidewalk,
con su fija alternativa,    /    with their constant alternation,
iluminan, no iluminan,      /    illuminate, do not illuminate,
el escenario de mi vida.     /   the stage of my life.

Entre bloques de hormigón,   /   Among blocks of concrete,
somos capaces de pedir perdón. / we are able to apologize.
Entre bloques de hormigón,   /   Among blocks of concrete,
somos capaces de sentir amor. /  we are able to feel love.

Caminando sobre asfalto,   /     Walking on asphalt,
abrazado a tu cadera,     /      held on your hip,
entre coches aparcados,     /    amid parked cars,
duerme la ciudad entera.    /    the entire city sleeps.

Eres tú toda la vida      /      You are all the life
que esta ciudad necesita,   /    that this city needs,
compartiendo cada esquina,   /   sharing every corner,
calles de melancolía...     /    streets of melancholy...

Entre bloques de hormigón,   /   Among blocks of concrete,
somos capaces de pedir perdón. / we are able to apologize.
Entre bloques de hormigón,   /   Among blocks of concrete,
somos capaces de sentir amor.  / we are able to feel love.

PRAY FOR THE CHILDREN

Rodolfo Planes offered me this great arrangement and suggested the title of 'Professional Liars' as a starting point. I changed the title to Career Liars as it scanned better with the melody and although we didn’t discuss the subject closely we both had our own ideas who these usual suspects might be. You all may also have your own choices other than these potential ‘Comeback Kids’. 

This was first written in 2022, but has developed gradually over the last two years with Ce Mastro’s spectacular chorus harmony arrangement lifting the song to astonishing new heights, then lastly Georg’s additional sax work giving a renewed energy and power. Thanks to everyone for their valued collaboration on this. Thanks for taking the time to listen.

 Career Liars by Rodolfo Planes and Mark J Bennett

How are you ever able to live with yourself? 
What do you really care about? 
You can cope just as long as you’re not left on the shelf, 
Hear me out. 

Are you ever conscious of the harm that you do?
 Or is all fair in love and in war?
And there is no depth that you and your crew won’t sink to. 
We’re done for.

Career liars, 
Truth deniers,
Big high flyers,
 Falsifiers.

Making all of your deals with your old cronies,
I think that is all that you’re good for. 
Nothing is ever sincere coz you’re real phoneys.
 Show them the door. 

Lying for a living, as long as we’re forgiving,
 We’ve been truly hood-winked this time for sure.
 We’re learning a lesson about the true cost of living 
Now we’re all poor.

Career liars, 
Truth deniers,
 Big high flyers, 
Falsifiers.

NOSTALGIA

La lluvia cae sobre mí débilmente
y mi inquieto cuerpo la acoge con placer.
Un viento frío acaricia mi frente
y el cielo, poco a poco, empieza a oscurecer.

El mar, a pesar de tiempo, está en  calma
y sus olas, lentamente, vienen y van.
Todo parece tranquilo menos mi alma
donde reina una oscura intranquilidad.

Los recuerdos cabalgan por mi mente
y al cerrar los ojos veo un rostro angelical.
Entonces todo mi cuerpo se estremece
y, uno a uno, empiezan a desfilar.

Nostalgia, añoranza,
en mi pecho tenéis nido
y me hacéis sentir un frío
que paraliza mi sangre.
Nostalgia, añoranza, 
de mi pueblo y sus gentes
porque siempre están presentes
como estoy yo en sus paisajes.

Pero dentro de poco
correré por sus campos
y caerán de mis ojos
lágrimas que he guardado
durante ¡tanto tiempo!
para poder llorarlas,
a la par con el viento,
en sedientas moradas.

Despierto y veo que la noche ha venido,
que las sombras ciernen su manto sobre mí.
Un velo deja aislada en el vacío
a mi mente que, confusa, no puede resurgir.

NOSTALGIA

The rain falls on me weakly
and my restless body welcomes it with pleasure.
A cold wind caresses my forehead
and the sky, little by little, begins to darken.

The sea, despite the weather, is calm
and its waves slowly come and go.
Everything seems calm except my soul
where a dark unrest reigns.

Memories ride through my mind
and when I close my eyes I see an angelic face.
Then my whole body shakes
and, one by one, they begin to parade.

Nostalgia, longing,
in my chest you have a nest
and you make me feel cold
that paralyzes my blood.
Nostalgia, longing,
of my town and its people
because they are always present
as I am in their landscapes.

But soon
I will run through their fields
and they will fall from my eyes
tears that I have saved
for so long!
to be able to cry for them,
along with the wind,
in thirsty dwellings.

I wake up and see that the night has come,
that the shadows hang their mantle over me.
A veil leaves isolated in the void
to my mind that, confused, cannot resurface.

Nostalgia (Feat. Jesús Lainez)

This is the latest song from the album Wou-Wou & the Wormling, Stricknice, Bitzone, and I have been working on. Like all the rest of the songs in the set, this one began during the start of the pandemic and reflects the changes in political perspective that were happening in society, and continue to this day. And, as with the other songs, I started this song with an unreleased demo from Wou-Wou and created a 1 minute outline which I then often passed on to a guest collaborator. When it came time to fully work on the track, I expanded on the original idea, along with the guest collaborator stems, until a full song was arranged. I then passed the bones and organs of the song to Stricknice and Bitzone to add any additional muscles and flesh they believed in until it was finished. I am so blessed to work with Wou-Wou, Bitzone, Stricknice, and all the guest collaborators on this inspired set, that one day will be complete. 

May everyone find something authentic to themselves to believe in.

Lyrics:

Looking for a new day
Looking for a new way to pray
Looking for a new way to say
I need something to believe in

Waiting for the next season
Waiting for a better reason
Waiting for some cohesions
In my something to believe in

Searching for another chapter
Searching for another answer
Searching for the here after
To give me something to believe in

Oh oh lord
You’re no more
The savior oh

Praying for a true sign
Praying for not to resign
Praying that any divine
Has something for me to believe in

Been out there but it’s freezing
Been out there but it’s displeasing
Been out there now releasing
My reason for something to believe in

There’s nothing in the wind speaking
There’s nothing in the house creaking
There’s nothing for the sinned seeking
For there’s nothing left to believe in

Oh oh lord
You’re no more
The savior oh

Oh oh lord
You’re no more
The savior oh

Reborn but still
Still worn out for real
Forlorn with no goodwill
Forgotten like landfill
Discarded until rotten
Downtrodden turned to God and
Abandoned I turn to
The concerns of the spurned few
True or is it not true
It is what we’ve been through
When all has been lost to
Those others who sin too
Grew up with a promise
Now there’s thieves up upon us
Asking who can we turn to
To return to us what’s due
I shouted but nobody
Listened I doubted
And then somebody heard
Just wanted to be devoted
So a savior got stirred
For a favor his word
With our promise to help turn
The truth to be blurred

When will there be a new leader
When will there be a new preacher
When will there be my savior
To tell me what I should believe in

Looking for a new day
Looking for a new way to pray
Looking for a new way to say
I need something to believe in

Oh oh lord
You’re no more
The savior oh

The summer solstice, a radiant jewel in the cosmic dance, is a sacred celebration of light and life. As the Earth tilts its northern hemisphere closest to the sun, we bask in the longest day of the year, a time when the sun's rays touch our hearts with the deepest warmth. This celestial event marks a peak of solar energy, a moment of unparalleled illumination that ignites our spirits and aligns our souls with the universe's boundless energy.

In this moment of celestial alignment, we embrace the interconnectedness of all beings, the unity of our planet, and the boundless potential within us. The summer solstice is a time to celebrate life in its fullest expression, to honor the sun, and to step forward, radiant and renewed, into the next phase of our journey.

Lyrics: 
Off the top ———-is where it’s at unwrap this —————-gift RAP hitting the streets—-it’s ——pure crack Stone cold —-this trap ——TRACK! Pool of knowledge ——-untapped going —-in —-hard——we do that  Better —-tighten up —-them bootstraps  ———SAY-——-“what the hell ——did Lou snap!!!” swag baby —-The recap  no snags—nah—we stop that!!!
Break the game down--it's a new map Flow so rich--- better check that NASDAQ Eyes on the prize---go the full lap concrete jungle---stuck in the trap
[Verse] From the alleys to the skyline---watch us elevate Living large in the boroughs where we demonstrate Every word a heavy weight--- every rhyme we detonate New York state of mind---watch the Empire State
We on a mission---ain't no intermission, snap back Murals on the walls--- street art on the subway track Ambition in the air, we the kings--- claim the throne Spittin' bars like bullets--- in this zone--- we at home
Icons of the asphalt--- legends in the flesh Droppin' beats so heavy--it’s poundin' in your chest From the 5 boroughs, anthems——- on full blast Queens to the Bronx-- Brooklyn —-movin' fast Elevate the hustle---the spirit never cracks Struggle in the verses —-resilience in the—— tracks

Interamnia, also known as 704 Interamnia, is one of the largest asteroids in the asteroid belt. It offers rich opportunities for scientific exploration:

Composition and Structure: Interamnia is a dark F-type asteroid, which means it has a carbonaceous composition. Studying it could provide insights into the early solar system's material.

Surface and Geography: Detailed observations and missions could reveal the asteroid's surface features, including craters, ridges, and possibly even signs of past collisions.

Orbital Dynamics: Understanding Interamnia's orbit and its interactions with other asteroids can shed light on the dynamics of the asteroid belt and the gravitational influences within it.

Here is the next song in The Smoking Trout's epic series, The Quest for the Holy Dumpling! After featuring 7 musicians on our last track this one feels pretty stripped down to the core elements of me, Jeff and Stephen. Came together rather spontaneously

LYRICS:
Took some money from a monkey
looking for some information
he got funky at a party on a planet
where we landed after launching
from Oaxaca
on a Monday in December
I remember needing fuel for the fission
in the belly of the bus
The monkey wanted Mushrooms
and we had a Kilo
and the recipe for the holy dumpling

Now Stu he started singing
a country song that he'd been working on
That went like This--

i'm pretty sure she loved me for a minute
so delicious in the moment we were in it
when she left me, I was so broken
by the cruelty of the loss
I sought solace in the bottom of a bottle
but I guess i'm better for it
and mostly now, the pain, I ignore it
anymore there's nothin left to do for it
but forget it--

leave our homes
leave our friends
see where the highway

you never come around now

ever gone
here to stay
you live inside of me
