SANCTUARY TECHNICIAN'S KICKS AND HOPES

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

Re-twisted Remains

Re - Twisted Remains

Rodolfo https://soundcloud.com/rplanes first shared this beautiful piece with me 2 years ago, which has had a gradual development since I first wrote the lyrics back then. More recently Ce Mastro https://soundcloud.com/cemastro added some exciting backing vocals which transformed the chorus and then even more recently we invited Dave McKeown https://soundcloud.com/dave-mckeown to contribute some lovely sax that we believed was just what the song needed. Rodolfo's song has such a feeling of romantic innocence yet with a wonderful rhythmic flow, that I hoped the words might feel from a simpler time. We hope you all enjoy our song of innocence (and inexperience) which thankfully is a work of fiction. Thanks again to Rodolfo for sharing this magical piece and his great skills as well as Ce and Dave's unique gifts to make this one happen. 
We thank you all for taking the time to listen.

Almost Lovers (by Rodolfo Planes / Mark Bennett)

Once we were almost lovers, without a care.
We weren’t like all the others, somehow we just didn’t dare.
We never faced the fact,
What we had wasn’t real,
Didn’t have to deal,
With the truth while we were putting on an act
We’d have to pay,
And quite how that would feel.

The moment when I discovered, not wanting to share,
You with any of the others, that I just couldn’t bear.
But when my back was turned,
You made out with a guy,
I thought was my friend.
Then I knew that my world had been overturned,
Put out to dry,
And what a way to end.

It’s not the way that I’d hoped this scene would play out,
Leaving the stage in the first act. 
It was cruel but at least I was left in no doubt.
C’est la vie, as a matter of fact.

Were never really lovers, just make believe.
Like sister and brother, with only ourselves to deceive.
I should have known right then,
I’d be out on my ear 
Instead of in love.
Waiting for the finale, not knowing when,
I’d disappear,
When the push comes to shove.

It’s not the way that I’d hoped this scene would play out,
Leaving the stage in the first act. 
It was cruel but at least I was left in no doubt.
C’est la vie, as a matter of fact.

This is the 7th song posted from the album I have been working on using demo tracks given to me by Wou-Wou & the Wormling during the start of the pandemic! I can't believe how fast time has passed and how long we have been working on this project. 4 songs from the album are based on a graphic novel that Wou-Wou had started before the pandemic began. The rest of the songs are reflections of the weird times we were living in.

Big thanks to Wou Wou, Bit-zone, and Stricknice for still being here after all these years. I have known and worked with people on SoundCloud probably longer than I have known high school friends, college friends, and friends from various jobs. Huge thanks to Guitar Wizards of the Future. I remember when I first began participating in the SoundCloud community, I would always eagerly anticipate a new GWOTF track, especially because I grew up in Oakland California. I look forward to hearing a new one someday! In the meantime, go check out the classics on their page!

Lyrics:

Would 
You like to 
Skip work and go to the seaside
Would 
You like to
Go tubing by the riverside

Please say so 
Please say so
Geeze don’t make me wait 
Another day though 
I been x-ing out the dates
Each and every day though 
Cause I just can’t seem 
To let me let you go 

What 
About going 
For a naked bike ride
What 
About going 
To a dispensary and getting high

Please say so 
Please say so
Geeze don’t make me hate 
Another day though 
I been poking at my plate
Each and every day though 
Just staring in the mirror
Watching as my hair grows 

Would
You like to 
Visit a park 2 feet wide
Would 
You like to
Be my voodoo donut bride 

Please say so 
Please say so
Geeze don’t make me wait 
Another day though 
I been x-ing out the dates
Each and every day though 
Cause I just can’t seem 
To let me let you go

Weird Things People Do In Portland

Guitar Wizards of the Future, Wou-Wou, Stricknice, Bitzone & CK - Weird Things People Do In Portland

As the solstice sun rises on its day of greatest power, it draws up with it the power of herbs, standing stones, and crystals. In the shimmering heat-haze on the horizon, its magical energies are almost visible. And as the mist gate forms in the warm air rising beneath the dolmen arch, the entrance to the Otherworld opens – Avalon, Tir nan Og, the Land of Youth, where it is always summer, and death and old age are unknown.

Summer Solstice 2023 | Psychedelic Celebration Set | 144-146 BPM

■概要
先日、久しぶりに練習スタジオに2時間入りました。
私は他の曲の録音が上手くいかず、その焦りから
残りの30分で即興気味にこの曲のギターとボーカルを録音しました。
結果的に、とても気持ち悪い仕上がりになって一人で笑っています(笑)
歌詞は、全て想像です・・・(貧相な想像力)。

The other day, I entered the practice studio for the first time in a while.
I wasn't able to record other songs well, and out of that impatience
In the remaining 30 minutes, I improvised and recorded the guitar and vocals for this song.
As a result, it became a very disgusting finish and I am laughing alone (lol)
The lyrics are all imaginary... (poor imagination).

■歌詞
「悪夢のような曲」
それは雨の日の記憶で
僕は最後の打席で
9回の裏　ランナーは三塁
僕のバットは空回りした

もしもあの日に戻れるのなら
あと数センチ届いたなら
悪夢にうなされなくていいのにな


あれから何十年かたっても
うまくいかない事ばかりで

それを誰かのせいにすることも出来ずに
三振してばかりだ

ああ　雨が降ってきた
ああ　雨がまた降ってきた

Rainy Day....

■lyrics (translation)
"Rainy Day"
It's a memory of a rainy day
I'm at the last at bat
In the bottom of the ninth inning, the runner is third base
my bat was spinning

If I could go back to that day
If it reaches a few centimeters more
I wish I didn't have to have nightmares


Even decades after that
It's all about things that don't go well

without being able to blame it on anyone else
I always strike out

oh it's raining
Ah, it's raining again

Rainy Day....

悪夢のような曲( nightmare song)

YOU'RE HIDING

I know you're hiding 
behind the passage of time 
to avoid the clash 
your reflection in the mirror 

you want to escape the fate 
that I read in your hands 
to make your own way
to become someone 

and I know the reasons 
that make you smile 
when you're in pain 
I know your demons 
that drive you to lie 
when you want us to love you 

but I want you to know 
that I remain ice-cold 
to all the coin tosses 
that you throw at my face

I know where you're hiding
to cover your tracks 
i don't want your place 
it's your life you're wasting 

and I know the reasons 
that drive you to lie
when you feel hatred
I know your demons 
that make you smile
when you want us to love you 

I know you hide 
behind the passage of time 
to avoid a clash 
your reflection in the mirror 

but I want you to know 
that I remain ice-cold 
to all those coin tosses 
you throw at my face

'"Disclaimer"

"Any similarity to real or imagined events ls probably not a coincidence
No TOADS were injured or molested ln any way during the making of this song--

The headwaters of this song came from Stephens rendition of that Toad ln our New Mexico song's cover art-- We were discussing that toad and lt's significance  to the riders on the bus--as the conversation became more Hilarious We resolved to write a song about that toad and that ls what we did--😎- Huge respect and gratitude to Stephen for hls Production and art skills and of course his amazing guitar Play and his Excellent Friendship--- Welcome to those of you who find your way to this tune We hope you enjoy lt!!

THE TOAD
l was flying down state 95
just ten miles East of Blyth
Hot Rod Lincoln blaring on the radio
My ole pickup truck lt overheated
l had to stop and find some shade
underneath a Palo Verde tree
a blg ole Toad There he spoke to me
He sald "Why don't you give me just a little lick Right here, Right behind my ear

Now you may think lt's a little funny, but l can guarantee
You will thank me ln the end my Friend--

Not wanting to disappoint my new found friend
l took a little tiny lick
and washed lt down with a Beer
After Frothin at the mouth for a little blt
my Consciousness lt took a hit
and headed south ln a flood of light

There are no word that can describe what happened next-
but l can say for sure without a doubt, unequivocally
My brand new Paradigm got tangled up with my Epiphany!!

LYRICS:
-------------------------------------------------------
The flashing light is indicating error, error
A wave of fear, a rumbling of terror, terror
Push the button, summon the repairer, repairer
The technician!

Arriving on the scene
Resequencing the gene
Talking to the machine
With a list of simple rules
And a tidy bag of tools
Who will save the helpless fools?
Who will save them? Who will save them?
The technician.

As the only unit who is fit to, fit to
The technician has identified the issue, issue
The virus is in the soft tissue, tissue
The technician!

There’s a bump in the road
There’s a bug in the code
A system overload
There’s a fly in the soup
A redirection loop
There’s a dupe within the group
Who will save them, who will save them?
The technician.

The mechanical voice repeating warning, warning
The broken beings all aborning, ‘borning
This cannot wait until the morning, morning
The technician!

With a flinging of the dung
And a twisting of the tongue
The ladder skips a rung
The clock has slipped a gear
With the deadline drawing near
Have no worries, know no fear
Who will save us? WHO WILL SAVE US?
The technician.

Nothing much to say here, as the title says it all. Hope you'll enjoy this sonic portrait of a spaceship crew saying goodbye to a few dozens Plutonian birds.
I made this out of a few recordings and experiments I had in my HD. More numbers will follow, sooner or later. I'm currently working on several tracks, aiming at putting an album together someday. 
I'd like to thank all you SC people who are still listening to my stuff even though I've spent a couple of years mostly on Pluto... I guess I'm finally taking off now, in a way or another. Hope you're all doing good, my friends.

Crew KMST3579 Bidding A Flock Of Plutonian Birds Farewell

Embark on a mesmerizing sonic voyage with "Celestial Serenade: A Flight of Dreams," a transcendent composition that effortlessly blends the realms of jazz and classical music. As a nomadic multi-instrumentalist and composer, I've woven a tapestry of sound that captures the essence of dreamy wanderlust and propels you into a soaring, weightless flight through the cosmos.

Guitars take center stage, their melodic tendrils intertwining with the pulsating thump of the beat, creating a rhythmic foundation that's impossible to resist. Intense synths sweep in like solar winds, adding an otherworldly dimension to the sonic landscape, while complex harmonies weave an intricate cosmic web that ignites a sense of bewilderment and wonder.

In the heart of this sonic odyssey, a breathtaking guitar solo emerges, painting vivid arcs of euphoria across the starlit canvas. The guitar's plaintive cries evoke the emotional hunger of a traveler yearning for the unknown, yet simultaneously celebrating the journey itself.

As you journey deeper into the composition, guitar accompaniments play like constellations, guiding you through a realm where the boundaries of jazz and classical music dissolve, and a distinct sci-fi ambiance takes hold. The interplay between the instruments invokes a sense of paranoia, a lurking mystery that adds an exhilarating edge to the ethereal soundscape.

"Celestial Serenade" is not just a song; it's a sonic exploration of the universe within and beyond. It invites you to bask in its dreamy expanses, embrace the thrill of flight, and revel in the complexity of harmonies that mirror the boundless complexity of the cosmos. Let the music carry you on a journey where euphoria meets hunger, and where wonder and paranoia dance in an exquisite, harmonious ballet.

I want you
I think I see you everywhere
We want love
We want to see love everywhere
 
Under the sway of thy gentle wings
All the world comes together
 
Old friends, no more these sounds! 
Let us sing more cheerful songs 
More full of joy! 
More full of joy!
Joy, bright spark of divinity, daughter of Elysium 
Fire-inspired we tread thy Sanctuary 
Sanctuary…

Joy!

I want you
I think I see you everywhere
We want love
We want to see love everywhere

Under the sway of thy gentle wings
All the world comes together
 
All you millions, I embrace you 
Well this kiss is for all the world
And you millions, oh I embrace you all
This kiss is for everyone 
All the world…

Hats off to little Richard
He’s made three score and ten
He no longer does those handstands
Just a backflip now and then

You might catch him with a reefer
Or a Coonawarra cabernet
When he picks up that ol’ Maton,  well..
Who knows what he'll play

Like guitar George
He knows all the chords
But he only uses two
And the the cats from Nashville say, look
There goes Ricky Boo

Take your hat off, be respectful
A milestone’s passing by
Little Richard’s. clocked up  seventy years
Now throw that hat up high!

There are five houses.
The Englishman lives in the red house.
The Spaniard owns the dog.
Coffee is drunk in the green house.
The Ukrainian drinks tea.
The green house is immediately to the right of the ivory house.
The Old Gold smoker owns snails.
Kools are smoked in the yellow house.
Milk is drunk in the middle house.
The Norwegian lives in the first house.
The man who smokes Chesterfields lives in the house next to the man with the fox.
Kools are smoked in the house next to the house where the horse is kept.
The Lucky Strike smoker drinks orange juice.
The Japanese smokes Parliaments.
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house"

Now, who drinks water?
Who owns the zebra?

My little bundle of joy Ms Neska was very keen on disrupting my studio time the other day. It was very important to her to continually bring me a rubber chicken and demand we fight over it. So I gave in and that's the way the rest of the day went... All sounds from a zoom recording of the wrestling match : ) https://www.instagram.com/neskagram/
