Gary, of Mountain Songs (https://soundcloud.com/mountain-songs)
contacted me about 2 years ago and offered me a baseline stem from an Alpha Roots collaboration he was working on with Joerxworx. About 2 years ago, that is crazy! I, of course, said I would take the stem. I needed to finish some other songs that were in the works before getting to play with Alpha Roots’s baseline. By the time I was ready to connect with the vibe, Russia had invaded Ukraine, unfathomable tragedy had begun, and the world was changing again. My song writing reflected the horror of what was going on. By the time all the stems were gathered, vocals were recorded, and the song was mixed and mastered, another war had broken out and the horror continued. 

Massive thanks to Mountain Songs for  trusting me with these blessed Alpha Roots stems. So glad Jamie, Jonathan, Joerxworx, and Russ got a chance to work with Alpha Roots again. Alpha Roots lives on. 

And the song is ready just in time for Halloween!

Lyrics: 

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep, right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari caught cha sleepin’
Day dreamin’ though you woke
Never thought what you were thinkin’
Now you only speakin’ what he spoke

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in 
Break in
Fillin’ ‘em with dread ya

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari gonna open
The coffin where you’ll rest
On his order you awaken
Now you answerin’ without questionin’ his behest 

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari caught cha sleepin’
Day dreamin’ though you woke
In the shadows see you creeping
His knife hidden inside his cloak 

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in 
Break in
It all turning red now

Somnambulist Break In

When Two Worlds Collide

Is it too late
For me to find my way home
To many hidden roads
Between what is right and wrong

Will there be an answer to the echo when I call
If I try to reach you will you let me fall

Sometimes, I can’t feel anything at all
Most times, I feel like I just don’t belong

Are there answers to the reasons for it all
How did I get lost on roads I knew before

When two worlds collide
When two worlds collide
In my heart my mind
When two worlds collide
How can I see beyond the fray
When I borrow from tomorrow
To make it through today

Sometimes, my nerves feel shattered to the bone
Other times, when I’m with you I’m all alone

How can I see beyond these shadow of my doubts
When my heart is broken twisted inside

When two worlds collide
When two worlds collide
In my heart my mind
When two worlds collide
How can I see beyond the fray
When I borrow from tomorrow

Two Worlds Collide

I wrote this song about a year ago and was inspired to write the music after my uncle passed away who was a big part of the 1960s underground and psychedelic music scene in london ,the hippies of that time would frequent a place called the ufo club where they would drop acid and watch such acts as the early syd barrett era pink floyd and many other upcoming music stars of that time.
This song is a bit introspective as well as all things must pass like the music it was an end of an era [jim 2023]

End Of An Era [watch the video on youtube]

Rodolfo https://soundcloud.com/rplanes gave me this piece and title to write a lyric around. I was drawn to man's not unnatural obsession with the cosmos from the earliest days, through using it to navigate the world and gain power, to now potentially using it as a last ditch escape from our polluted and depleted home. I particularly enjoyed this song as I get to sing in Spanish and also a good proportion of this song is instrumental. So sit back and let this journey wash over you. Many thanks to Rodolfo for all his great work and a special thanks to you for listening. Mark

Southern Star by Rodolfo Planes and Mark J Bennett

It’s written in the stars,
When seen from Earth,
Venus… even Mars.
Whatever it’s worth.

The Southern Star

Is that ‘Pie in the Sky’? 
Take the bait,
Maybe just a lie,
Trust in fate?

Estrella del sur
Estrella del sur
Estrella del sur
Es la clave,
Del rumbo del destino
Del rumbo del destino.
(Southern star, it's the key from the course of destiny)

Man’s knowledge and skill,
Charts land and sea.
In order to fulfil,
Destiny			
 
The Southern Star

Celestial sphere,
Obscured now by,				
Tears and fear.
The end is nigh.

Sin la clave,
Nos niega el destino
El curso del…

(Southern star, without the key, fate denies us the course of destiny)

 
Need and hunger, 
Has our innocence
Rent asunder, 
By its wickedness
 
The Southern Star 
The Southern Star 

Escape to stars.
Throw right off of your
Shackles and bars.
We need to endure.

When I first heard this I instantly picked up a  blusey mid eastern flavour to it and decided to pick up on that theme. I used Pauls track "Remember" in it's entirety with no edits to do some post production work around it, picking up on that eastern vibe I was getting !! I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did making it.  
A BIG thank you to Paul for this opportunity and for all your great support!!

Bibles, Flags and Guns

Oh the fascists they are everywhere
Yes they are the ones
Known to hide their hate behind
Bibles, flags and guns

The flag I pledge allegiance to I hardly recognize
Now it's in the enemy camp and I'm starting to realize
We'll have to steal it back and put an end to all their lies

Oh the fascists they are everywhere
Yes they are the ones
Known to hide their hate behind
Bibles, flags and guns

The Bible that they hold can't be the same one that I read
Cause they're ignoring every word that Jesus ever said
Self-righteous hypocrites - they're making their own bed

Oh the fascists they are everywhere
Yes they are the ones
Known to hide their hate behind
Bibles, flags and guns

Played at war when we were boys we stopped when we were teens
The ones who never grew out of it own AR-15s
And the carnage never ends - it's what a fascist movement needs

Oh the fascists they are everywhere
Yes they are the ones
Known to hide their hate behind
Bibles, flags and guns

They don't believe in climate change, don't see the rising water
Child brides - it's no surprise they're looking at your daughter
While they selectively enforce law and order

Oh the fascists they are everywhere
Yes they are the ones
Known to hide their hate behind
Bibles, flags and guns

Oh the fascists they are everywhere
Yes they are the ones
Known to hide their hate behind
Bibles, flags and guns

Not My Neighborhood
by Nadia Selvaggi

This, this, this is not my neighborhood!
Where is Williamsburg, Brooklyn --
my crime-ridden, filthy, spray-painted 'hood?

Where is Eastern District High School?
Where is that old school cool?
Where is all the red brick?
Where are all the addicts itchin' for a fix?

I don't know this place at all
I don't smell my Grandma's moth or meat balls
Corporate greed, thy will be done,
as it is in Manhattan and the City of London

Mr. Global's mercenaries killed our low rent, 
our culture, and our authenticity
Damn the L train gentrifiers!
Damn the cold glass and bitter steal!

Bamonte's, Fortunato Brothers, Nunzio and Sons,
survived New York's perpetual reinvention
Tell me craft beer drinking, Hipster trust fund --
where is my 11211?

Lyrics: Living On The Edge
(Verse 1) 
Living on the edge, where the city never sleeps
 Hustling in the streets where the hunger runs deep 
Concrete jungle a playground for the brave 
All the hustle and grind-find the strength that you crave
(Chorus) 
On the edge of a dreams where -the hustle is the game 
Life's a gamble but we rise all the same In the shadows we dance walk that narrow ledge 
Gotta stay sharp -like a razor’s edge 
that’s the hustlers pledge the hustlers pledge
(Verse 2)
 In the Streets that’s the canvas,
-where we paint our tale From the struggle we rise like a phoenix we prevail 
Hustling hard like a lion without fail 
Every move strategic in this urban maze. 
Doing your best just to avoid going to jail 
Time is money and money pays 
You can count your riches never your days
(Chorus)
(Bridge) 
Clock's ticking but the hustle just don't rest 
Every challenge faced just to put you to the test 
Living on the edge it's a risky ride In the hustle we trust let the dreams collide
(Verse 3)
 Concrete ambitions rising like the skyline 
From the streets to the penthouse we make our climb 
Living on the edge with a heart of a lion In the hustle we trust 
time is money money is time
(Chorus)
(Outro)
 In the city's heartbeat where the pulse is alive 
That Hustling spirit we need to survive  
Trying to make a living just because we must  
Live that Hustler’s dreams in hustle we trust

Didn't See The Moon Last Night

See The Sun Arise

Recalling some tequila, love words and more with them in that Ibiza bar, I wondered: “What if Pink Floyd met the spirit of Camarón de la Isla… in my bedroom?” I used lots of guitars, basses, etc. on a 12/8 beat, to enclose 3/4, 6/4 & 8/8 rhythms along.

Letra / Translated Lyrics: EL POZO DE TU AMOR  /  THE WELL OF YOUR LOVE

Fui a abrir el grifo, estaba sediento,  /  I turned on the tap, I was thirsty,
fui a abrir el grifo de tu amor.  /  I turned on the tap of your love.
Fui a abrir el grifo, necesitaba hacerlo,  /  I turned on the tap, I needed to do it,
fui a abrir el grifo de tu amor.  /  I turned on the tap of your love.
Necesitaba un trago de tu amor,  /  I needed a drink of your love,
necesitaba el grifo de tu amor.  /  I needed the trap of your love.

Fui a bajar al pozo, me estaba muriendo,  /  I was going into the well, I was dying,
fui a bajar al pozo de tu amor.  /  I was going into the well of your love.
Fui a bajar al pozo, y me caí dentro,  /  I was going into the well, and fell inside,
fui a bajar al pozo de tu amor.  /  I was going into the well of your love.
Necesitaba un trago de tu amor,  /  I needed a drink of your love,
necesitaba el pozo de tu amor.  /  I needed the well of your love.

Por bajar al pozo, yo me caí dentro  /  Because of going into the well, I fell inside
y no quiero que nadie llore por mis lamentos  /  and I don’t want anybody to cry for my laments

Caí… por ti.  /  I fell … for you.
Caí… caí… caí por ti.  /  I fell … fell … fell for you.
Caí… a tu pozo, caí por ti.  /  I fell … into your well, fell for you.
Caí… caí… caí… caí a tu pozo por ti.  /  I fell … fell … fell … fell into your well for you.
Caí.  /  I fell.

Me he caído al pozo, y ahora que estoy dentro  /  I have fallen into the well, and now I’m inside
veo que se ha secado nuestro amor.  /  I see our love has dried up.
Vine a beber al pozo, pero el pozo está seco,  /  I came to drink at the well, but the well is dry,
veo que se ha secado nuestro amor.  /  I see our love has dried up.
Necesitaba un trago de tu amor,  /  I needed a drink of your love,
necesitaba el pozo de tu amor.  /  I needed the well of your love.

THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETIMES IN YOUR LIFE
YOU'RE TAKEN AWAY FORGETTING TIME
YOUR FEELING ALIVE OR IN THE CLOUDS
WE ALWAYS NEED SOMETIME TO YOURSELF

CAN'T EVER SEE YOURSELF GETTING OLD
ONE DAY IN SCHOOL THEN FEELING RETIRED
YOU'RE HEARING A SOUND, REMEMBER SOME TIME
WE SING A SONG SOMETIMES TO YOURSELF

(chorus 1)
WHEN A FAVORITE SONG COMES TRUE
WHEN IT TOOK THIS WORLD APART
AND IT TAKES ME BACK TO YOU
CAUSE THE MUSIC NEVER STOPS
WHEN MY TIMELINE CHANGED WITH YOU

WE CELEBRATE EVERY YEAR OF OUR LIVES
FORGETTING TIME AS THE MUSIC GO'S BYE
THE DAYS WILL COME AND LEAVE US BEHIND
AS FAST AS LIGHT YOU COULD BE BY YOURSELF

(chorus 2)
WHEN A LOVE SONG RUNS FROM YOU
YOU CAN CHANGE THAT LONELY HEART
AND IT TAKES ME BACK TO YOU
CAUSE THE MUSIC NEVER STOPS
WHEN MY TIMELINE CHANGED WITH YOU
