Paco https://soundcloud.com/sonido-reflexivo shared these beautiful and evocative melodies with me and I couldn't help but want to collaborate with him again. He is most generous and encouraging, and his music is full of structure, energy and emotion. Thanks for this great opportunity Paco and thank you for listening. I'd like to dedicate this to David, Emily and Steven.

Whatever it is you want from life,
You better be ready to go and get it.
For time always flies,
No matter how much you think is left.

Make sure that you don’t take a moment for granted,
Coz you only get this chance to shine.
When you’ve got something more to give than you take,
Only then have you truly found the reason to live. 
  
Time flies, oh how time flies 
How time always flies,

Whatever it is you want from life,
You better be ready to go and get it.
For time always flies,
No matter how much you think is left.

Time flies, oh how time flies 
Time flies, oh how time flies 
Time flies, oh how time flies 
 
Whatever it is you want from life,
You better be ready to go and get it.
For time always flies,
No matter how much you think is left.

Time Flies (Midisound & Mark J Bennett)

What's upon us is a song I wrote back in 2020 that I finally recorded vocals for in November and I thought would be a great message to start this year with.

What's upon us
What's to come
What awaits
What have we become
I know 
I want 
More 
Than this
Than this

This reminds me of where I was when I wrote this and how far I have come because I chose to see what could happen if I let my desire for a more beautiful life emerge based on what I could imagine for myself. 

You deserve the absolute best. You have the freedom to choose it. Go out and live the truest most beautiful life you can imagine this year ❤️ So much love for all of you in 2023!!!! #happynewyear2023

What's Upon Us

Original Instrumental: Monkey Parts
https://soundcloud.com/jon-lock-5/monkey-parts?si=61629b52ae274a50973e16cbac15ddbc&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Jon shared “Monkey Parts” with me while we were discussing an unreleased track we were working on. Jon’s original track instantly inspired me and the lyrics easily flowed onto the paper (actually I write all my lyrics in Apple Notes, lol) and then into GarageBand (using my Apple headphone mic to everyone who mixes my vocals exasperation). I held onto the unmixed track for a while (really for no good reason besides it wasn’t in the stars’ plan until now) and then finally worked up the urge to “git er done.” 

As for the lyrics, the last time I had anything weed related was probably 11 years ago in California. At that time, all things marijuana were relatively easy to acquire since many of my friends had “doctor’s notes” to go to the medical dispensaries. It was fun to try all the new novel dope products people were making and selling. Since living in Oregon, for over 6 years now, I have not once thought about partaking in the herb, even though I can easily walk to several cannabis stores from my home. I think there are more pot stores in the Portland area than convenient stores, I do not live in a reefer desert, lol. But still, I was inspired to write a song about maryjane.

Lyrics:
Thinkin’ of a sushi roll

I was feeling alright my baby
Until you ruined my vibe with crazy
Breaking bad habits is not easy
Yea Yea Yea

I was feeling alright my people
Until ya’ll ruined my vibe with fecal
Specially when my mind is feeble 
Yea Yea Yea

But I shoulda saw it coming 
Now my Karma’s got me running  
Fruitions always gunning 
This life
Future life 
Past bad acts got me on slumming
Always on the worry 
On what I am becoming

So with my right thumb and my two right fingers 
I set my intention as I’m foldin’ up the papers
Right right right right

Thinkin’ of a sushi roll

We was smoking our karma 
We was smoking our karma 
Many happy returns, yea

Thinkin’ of a sushi roll
Thinkin’ of a sushi roll

Good intentions in my high
Good intentions floating by 
My vibe guides me through the knot 
Interlinked eternally
Yea Yea Yea

I was feeling stressed out my baby
And then I lifted my vibe with hazy 
Breaking bad habits is not easy
Yea Yea Yea

When I’m feeling stressed out my people
I gotta lift my vibe pineal
Especially when my mind is feeble 
Yea Yea Yea

Yea some say it’s in the dirt
But It don’t matter when it hits it still hurts
Attracted by ya’ll hertz 
Best to sit still
Keep chill
Let the mind go inert 
Purify ’til the soul reverts

Use my thumbnail to press down and tuck the edges
I set my intention and seal it with some praises 
Right right right right
Thinkin’ of a sushi roll

We was smoking our karma 
We was smoking our karma 
Many happy returns, yea

Thinkin’ of a sushi roll
Thinkin’ of a sushi roll

Good intentions in my high
Good intentions floating by 
My vibe guides me through the knot 
My vibe guides me

Original Song ©2023 Andina/Planes/Sotomayor

Estás entre nosotros

Escucho tu canción volando en el viento
Tu melodía está sonando por dentro
Tu corazón hoy late muy fuerte en el tiempo
Sé que estas aquí, te veo y te siento

Y te comienzo a recordar
Sé que vas 
A cantar  
Para estar
Una vez más

Hoy por las noches me despierto en tu sueño
Tu sueño que también es mi propio sueño
Te veo por las calles y corro a buscarte
Te mezclas entre la gente y no puedo encontrarte

Y te comienzo a recordar
Sé que vas 
A cantar  
Para estar
Una vez más

----------------------------------------------------
Tengo un deseo, deseo que se me haga realidad.
Fundirnos en un abrazo, ya sé no se puede dar.
Voy a rezar, voy a soñar, voy a esperar.
-------------------------------------------------
Y te comienzo a recordar
Sé que vas 
A cantar  
Para estar
Una vez más

Estas Entre Nosotros

Estás Entre Nosotros (Andina/Planes/Sotomayor)

Vocals and Lyrics Ian Greaves aka IPG1 (@ipg1)
Lillithe : Mix, Arrangement and Production
Lyrics:
This that acid drop - mind corrupt
Drop that purple microdot
Fear not - if the time stops -
and the clock refuse to TikTok
Full throttle — speeding - roadblock
brain cell just don’t give a fuck
Tie dye - sandals — dreadlocks
Woodstock — type — Hip-Hop
mesmerized by the kilowatt
my brain — become a hotspot
Am I human — Am I God —
preparing for — the aftershock
the aftershock — the aftershock
Hell yeah — and why not — it’s still that purple
microdot — microdot — microdot
Chorus
Think twice before you say no
Charisma — come on let’s go
The moves — without Ego
The smile — or the combo
It’s good times — and Convo
Cant avoid it - so you want some more
The allure — of an outlaw (X3)
Guitar riffs and jazz lines — like rainbows and sunshine
No limits no guidelines — I’ll start off with a peace sign
don’t even try to undermine — Or I’ll peal back your hairline —
Love it when the stars align — You know I’mer get mine
time stop — brain cells begin to pop
From the bottom to the top — a mental — hotspot
Mesmerizing sound — kicking kilowatts
From that purple microdot
God status — here we go at last — 
from the bottom to the top — break that hour glass —
So why you think your teeth are shattering — so damn fast
It a personal experience — a one man class
No sleep for those who know — the afterglow
Are Y’all ready for the show — Y’all ready for the show…..
no malice establish — and it’s hitting on the spot
A God’s made — for love — that — purple microdot
This that aftershock — that aftershock — that aftershock
From that acid drop — Mind corrupt — Mind corrupt
time stop — brain cell begin to pop
From the bottom to the top — a mental — hotspot
Mesmerizing sound — kicking kilowatts
From that purple microdot — From that purple microdot
——Chorus ——
Feeding off the sound like a starving vampire
music in my blood turns a spark into fire
The progeny of lyrics — rhythm tunes — desire
Made to Pierce your soul — like a suit of Bob-wire
Hang tight and ride this storm of — forget me Nut
Left-brain — right track — it’s called — purple microdot
And you know I’ll be back here — from — time to time
Fucking with your mind — at the drop of a dime
Underground— under the tongue— paint a mental picture
yo—you’ll never really know when the acids gonna hit y

So many rhymes written - styles bitten
Tracks so sick - they'll leave you bed ridden
Word play written with shadow-rhymes hidden
Visions that occur with lethal precision
Insight for dayzzz - experience that pays
You'll be amazed - rhyme after rhyme - phrase after phrase
How the hell he do that — and the message conveys
Cohesion on the track I’mer set it ablaze
Another Track turnt up - set this one on re-play
Yeah - I got it….yeah - I got it like that

Let's pick up the pace - Dropping bass in ya face
Locking haters in place - Rocking the whole damn place
Kicking ass…..more---Bass!!!!----more---Bass!!!!
Let’s keep it going!!!
I'll share the knowledge - keep the drumbeat flowing
Get yourself a taste — a full embrace
Rhymes tighter than the knot - on top your shoelace
Guarantee! — to put a smile back on your face
Gimme some space - Gimme some space!
Unplugged! so why not try to interface
Addicted to the sound like it's free-bass
like coke! — the real thing without the aftertaste
more be Tha beat-----more-be Tha - Bass!!!!------more-be Tha-Bass!!!!

All I've been through - leads to this time -this moment
Grinding night and day - while most lay dormant
Always bring my best - dress to impress
Full court press - the opposition seem ---stressed
I stay intentional - multidimensional
Verse after verse -totally exceptional
Wait a sec---here’s a reality check
Bet a bottom dollar that a brother don't sweat
Go ahead groove on - ain't done yet
Rock another beat - so my haters —upset
Track is getting---lit like a--------Newport cigarette
Why the confusion y'all - too unconventional
Must be delusional - Call it phenomenal
Solid ambition - creative composition
Adjust your position - cause I'm still on a mission
Track them down - take them out friendly disposition
Grab the track press play - sit back and listen

Repeat Verse 1

Outro
Volatile like nitro — don’t shake or stir
Wanted signs posted - don’t let the lines blur
Creative juices flowing so go for what you know
This is what I was born for so come on let’s go!

Drop!

dedicated to 💚

It's been so long, since I looked into your eyes
where are you now, joy of my life
it's been so long that I saw the sun sparkle in your smile
where have you gone, where have you gone

you came into my life, like a secret promise
changing my life forever, my life forever (forever forever)
you came into my life like a sunrise in the night
setting my heart on fire, my heart on fire (on fire) on fire

Are you still in town?
the city looks so deserted without you
Since I've been loving you
Nothing feels the same
Oh I know, I have to live without you
But you are my sun, you are my moon, you are my homeland
I adore you

You came into my life, like a secret promise
Changing my life forever, my life forever
forever - forever - forever - for ever for ever
Oh this love is on fire

This love is on fire
this love is on fire
on fire on fire on fire
this love is on fire
on fire on fire

forever forever for ever
forever forever
for ever

Secret Promise (Adore) Vocals by Nebura - with youtube video

This started off as an exercise in utilising all five fingers when playing right hand patterns on the keyboard. I devised a pattern with a simple bass progression and have been developing it over nearly two months of repetition and embellishment. The overall end result comes out somewhat differently every time I play it, but I thought todays version finally felt worthy of sharing with a wider audience. Thankyou for taking time out to listen.

Marley's Groove

Powder Snow World(Niseko Winter Scenery)

This is a song that started as a stem with which Ian (IPG1) let Tez and I play. Tez made the riddim and added the guitar, producing a chord structure with which for me to work. I added bass, piano, synth, and sitar. Tez produced and mixed the whole thing. Ian's rapping is the centerpiece of the whole thing, though. Both of these guys are very special and talented. We hope you enjoy the song.

Bouncing Off The Bass (with IPG1 aka Lou and Llanpsych)

Synesthesia is main motif for this song, first because of original lyrics, then as I felt like adding it more flavor with female vocals*, & finally when I recently watched some paintings about this matter**.

*Great vocal performance by https://soundcloud.com/maraoldfield is most notorious matter in this piece, where riffing parts toggle with bass-guided proggy ones.

**Due credits to https://soundcloud.com/wouwouandthewormling for ad hoc painting of the song’s artwork.

Letra  /  Lyrics:

QUIERO SABER SI HACE CALOR  /  I WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS HOT

En verano, insoportable,  /  In summer, unbearable,
todo está lleno de ruido.  /  everything is full of noise.
El invierno, silencioso,  /  The winter, silent,
que congela los sonidos.  /  which freezes the sounds.

No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold. 
No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.

Los días soleados  /  Sunny days
acompañan al estío  /  go along with the summer
y cuando llega el invierno  /  and when the winter comes
el cielo está oscurecido.  /  the sky is darkened.

No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold.
No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.
