IT'S THE TIME !!

Cut through the static—Three Photons is broadcasting pure analog soul from a rain-slicked midnight in Chicago

I have been playing around with.....ii V I progressions and the Bebop A dominant scale. I call this one an Indie Dark Jazz flavor. Hope you will like some part of it and maybe hum along before it ends..... 
Thank you René for feedback on the first draft!

Verse 1
They’re all buying guns
To take a shot at you
But you’re still smiling
Because you died a long time ago
Two bullets through your soul

Refrain 1
It’s live from Chicago
Let the camera roll 
It’s live from Chicago

Verse 2
When the morning breaks
The camera fades away
But you’re still smiling
Because you’re still standing tall
Two bullets through your soul

Refrain2
Let the camera roll 
It’s live from Chicago
How was I to know?
Two bullets through your soul
It's live from Chicago

outro
How was I to know?
It's live from Chicago....

Let the camera roll
It's live from Chicago
How was I to know?
Two bullets through your soul
It's live from Chicago
How was I to know?
Two bullets through your soul
Here in Chicago
How was I to know?
Two bullets through your soul
let the cameras roll
let the cameras roll
it's life in Chicago
it's life in Chicago

Two bullets through your soul
It's live from Chicago

Live from Chicago

Lyrics:

A renaissance is needed
in this present we’re living.
Now is the time (2)
Recognising one another
as a friend, as a true brother.
Now is the time (2)
We need empathy…

By sectarian politicians
humankind is being confronted.
Now is the time (2)
Troubles they want us to see,
people live them more easily.
Now is the time (2)
We need pragmatism …

We’re all part of minorities,
the red haired or left handed.
Now is the time (2)
No more talk about left or right,
no more minding if black or white.
Now is the time (2)
We need global thinking …

A renaissance is needed
in this present we’re living.
Now is the time (2)
Love flows freely in every heart.
Revolution inside each one.
Now is the time (2)
We need empathy…

Verses IPG1:
Down like That
Down like that
If you feeling me —-where I’m at
Lemme hear you say
Down like that
***verse1
I am the the real —-number one—bonafide —-numero uno
That’s the deal—-Do or die—-
Ask—-someone—That you know
been revealed—who I am—-
don’t really need —-an intro
Real appeal—this is why—
each discussion —might —seem nouveau
Verse2
As I sink into this mix —-don’t hold me ——let go 
And I’ve got it all baby —-even ———if it’s retro 
balancing act ——equilibrium———if you -can follow 
that’s a hard pill -to swallow——now—- come on let’s go
Feel the vibe ——in your body ———like an undertow
Tried and true ——-just a fax ———and you all know-the logo 
This is how I——mix and match —drink it up —it’s pure—mojo
Bridge
Level one up—
level ——-level one up 
I get down
level ——-level one up 
sound on sound 
level ——-level one up 
you’ll come around
Verse3
a new challenge —-to take on—
come on ———let’s —get down —
Accept my imperfections
A rap addict —reborn—-
hard as steel go on 
session after session 
honed and built for action ———
Like My name was Smith and Wesson
This is where ——I belong —--is there Anymore questions?

Verse4
Bet —I—-still——- flow over this ——--right tight!
How can I miss ——-push verses ——day and night
it’s just a fix ——-till I reach—-my new ——-heights ——
still deep in the mix———level one up —-Aight!!!
there’s always chance I’ll swing through ——you know I will 
that’s how I get down ————I got you——so—chill
But for now—this is all I can do— just—-until 
That time comes ——-take a sip —drink it up—— don’t— spill

Down Like That - IPG1 & Paploviante & Lillithe

The summer is still in its Solstice. Have a warm day!

Fantasy is played on Maschine Mikro MK3 with pads and knobs. Only stock drum/bass, synth and the new polysynth. When Maschine software chocked on tracks and FX, rendered tracks into Ableton for tweaking, mixing and to play more embellishments with Polysynth as VST. Mastered with UAD, IK, and FabFilters. Fantasy will go to Uplifting Chillout album titled Love, some day, maybe. TNX!

down like that…
——

down like that
now that we have arrived
make it louder yeah
the sound can’t be denied

stick around in fact
see it’s about that time
we get down like that
down like that for life

——

if you wanna know where I’m at
it is nowhere on the map
let’s go there in fact
and don’t dare look back
you old scaredy-cats
y’all could barely act
or keep it real you’re wack
not to be mean but yeah
moving along cheap laughs
just go and share this track
that lil arrow shaped button
you know where it’s at
where there are layers stacked
so much data to crunch
no lunch breaks just snacks
straight up putting in that work
ain’t cutting no slack
ain’t punching no clocks
time and space collapse
I’m compelled to create
make first contact
do something that has
lasting impact
on a cosmic scale
universal raps
with the rhythm and the rhyming
keep it right and exact
top tier hip hop
calculate all the stats
it’s that LOU OSIAVO
bring it on back
you can feel it when it drops
and it lands with a crash
and I fear it won’t stop
we have started on a path
of destruction 
to tear down the status quo
wrath of the people 
let loose on the planet yo
patchwork of equals
who’ve reached understanding so
stand up we see you
now mash it up back and forth
make them hands them a clap
and them fingers a snap
and them toes get to tapping
down like that

——

down like that
now that we have arrived
make it louder yeah
the sound can’t be denied

stick around in fact
see it’s about that time
we get down like that
down like that for life

——

if you’re feeling me where I’m at
lemme hear you say down like that
exactly like this
the same sounds to match
to each track that’s mixed
sold out crowds react
choreographed and crisp
the sheer amount of practice
and discipline
synapses might snap
if one might even begin
to attempt to imagine
what we’re about to bring in
to being it is the magic
of art and science within
but okay enough with that
like c’mon who’m I kidding
already had them cheap laughs
but now it’s getting rich
should I just try to spit these raps
for entertainment purposes
only hell nah never that
I’m up in here to do this
ain’t even no need to ask
then again what was the question
see I wouldn’t put it past
myself as my own harshest critic
to be the one behind the mask
but with no memory of it
and yet still be up to the task
although doing it for the kicks
as well as snares and hi hats
doing it for the entire kit
instrumentals on smash
IPG1 did it
go turn it up to full blast
in fact there ain’t no limit
make the good times last
beyond the infinite
eternal intact
mind body and spirit
combined in the lab
living life with the lyrics
through the gift of gab
shout out - Blackalicious
getting down like that
keep it real no gimmicks

——

down like that
now that we have arrived
make it louder yeah
the sound can’t be denied

stick around in fact
see it’s about that time
we get down like that
down like that for life

——

down like that
it’s now or never y’all
no doubt indeed
about to bring it on
with a sound so pleasing
call it what you want

Hip Hop 

down like that

down like that

This is the tenth in a series of gentle, experimental, guitar based instrumentals. There's maybe one more track to come in the collection.
This one was inspired by an exhausting but rewarding climb to the top Pen y Fan, the highest peak in the lovely Brecon Beacon National Park in south Wales, UK (see Video)
Thanks for listening ........... Richard :)

Came across the phrase 'like a rabbit in the headlights' and it got me thinking about pivotal moments, although the ending is ambiguous, no actual bunnies were hurt in the making of this song. Hope ya like it!

Frozen in the headlights
Feet refuse to run
Is this his last moment
Is he done?

Time for some reflection
Did this rabbit do it right?
Should he’ve been much bolder
Looked those humans in the eye
 
Stood his ground with foxes
Laughed at the farmer’s gun
Been a little more outrageous
Had some bunny fun.

Maybe gone to Vegas
Danced flamenco in Seville
Been a little more courageous
But he wasn’t, hey but still..

Will the driver dip those headlights
Let him off the hook
Ease up on the gas pedal
You never know your luck

Wanted Rock (Remix)

Originally wrote this song in French ( Si Tu Savais)(https://soundcloud.com/peter-wheeler/si-tu-savais).   This is the only one of my own songs that I've translated from one language to the other.


                 What Goes Around - Comes Around

If you only knew how you get on my nerves
one of these days your gonna get what you deserve
what goes around 
comes - comes - comes - comes around

If you only knew how hard it is to put up with you
your never never never satisfied - no matter what I do
what goes around
comes - comes around.

If you only knew that it’s because of you that I wrote this song
your always always right - I’m always wrong
what goes around
what goes around
what goes around
comes - comes around.

Yeah at the end of the day when the sun sits high above
yeah at the end of the day when the sun sails so high above 
(Crazy Love Baby)
your number 1 in my heart
your number 1 in my heart
your number 1 in my heart

your the only one that I love
your the only one that I love
the only one that I love.

What Goes Around Comes Around
