ONE DAY IT WAS ALL FOR YOU
LEARN TO GIVE AND TAKE BUT CRY
A BIRTHDAY WISH IS ALL THATS TRUE
A WISHING WELL WITH NO DESIRE

TEN YEARS ON AND TO SMART TO LEARN
ON YOUR BIKE AND LOST IN STUFF
I THINK ABOUT THE SCHOOL DAYS GONE
WHAT WE SEE WE LEARN TO TRY

YOU CAN GIVE THEM LOVE, GIVE THEM ALL THE TIME
SOMETIMES IN THEIR LIFE, THEY WILL FIND

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
AND WE'RE PASSING IT DOWN THE LINE
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
DOWN THE LINE.........
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
DOWN THE LINE.........
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
(break)
THE WISE GREY MAN CAN BEARLY HEAR
GRANDCHILD SENDS A TEXT OF LOVE
LOOKING OUT ACROSS THE SEA
HE REMEMBERS HOW HE USED TO BE

YOU CAN GIVE THEM LOVE, GIVE THEM ALL THE TIME
SOMETIMES IN THEIR LIFE, THEY WILL FIND

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
AND WE'RE PASSING IT DOWN THE LINE
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
DOWN THE LINE.........
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
DOWN THELINE.........
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET

LIFE

i reworked this song, I never really finished it when i posted it, i just kind of wanted to move on. This is a better song now.. I still can't get the vocals to sound right.. 
NOTE: I remixed this song, was able to get the pops and crackles out of the vocals

The evening fog had come, floating softly from the sea
and turned the world into a dream, where there is only you and me
when long ago we walked this shore,
and we had it all, but nothing more
not a memory you would keep
but it was everything to me

now time has burned away the fog, and we’ve come back to this place 
the silver sea and midnight sky underneath the milky way
but something’s lost along the way
where the water meets the sky so far away
it’s an illusion of the sea
they never really come to be

all I ever wanted, everything I thought I needed
I hoped to find in your heart     
If all of this meant nothing
then we’ve wasted all our time
We tried to be something we’re not
The same mistakes we’re making
The same bad road we’re taking 

It washes over me 
this is real, and not my dream
Let this be, go and find the one you need,
Who loves you for the things they see
Not what I want you to be
Not what you want me to be…

What I Wanted You To Be

*UPDATE.  After a 5day hiatus, tried to say thanks to all those who have been leaving comments for 'River To River' this morning (Sunday 11 Dec.) but was blocked again after only 2 hours, during which time I was able to send 43 replies.
I will resume as soon as I get the chance.  Apologies to all I haven't had the chance to thank as yet.  It's clear I won't be able to continue like this so have decided to stop active interaction with SC after the end of the year.  Will try to keep everyone posted on developments. (Gary)

Original Message, left on Monday, 5 December...

For the fourth time in the last few weeks, I have been blocked from making or replying to comments and also cannot sign-in to my repost page. My sincere apologies to you all for the radio silence but it is not of my choosing.
I have written to the SoundCloud Helpdesk to ask why this is happening and to say they have not exactly been helpful is something of an understatement. This is part of their reply:
"If the issue persists, it’s possible that you might have been flagged by our anti-spam systems. These systems are automated, and although we’re always refining and improving their detection measures, it is difficult to ensure that they’re always 100% accurate.
They focus on detecting accounts posting large numbers of similar or identical comments in a 24 hour period, to people who haven't recently interacted with them. Looking at your comments, even though they are positive, they don't always vary so much. This is why you've run in to this block a few times.
To avoid being blocked, we would suggest making each comment unique to the person you're contacting, or trying to cut down on the total number of comments you make in a day. The more personal and unique the comment you make, the more memorable it will be to the person receiving it. "
I replied, disagreeing strongly about leaving similar replies, particularly to accounts I have not previously interacted with. I also asked many questions to precisely ascertain any prescribed limits SC have on leaving likes & comments and on reposts. They didn't answer my questions, stating merely "I understand your frustration however, as mentioned, these are automatic anti-spam systems and when a user gets blocked, we cannot removed (sic) the block from their account before it's due to expire."

I have written individual messages to friends here on SC and the same has happened to many of them. They too have written to the Helpdesk without success.You are never let into the secret about how long the block will last, neither it's specific reason for being applied in the first place. Piecing together what I have been told by others, you can be flagged for leaving too many likes, too many comments (and comments that are too long) and reposting too many songs. But you have no way of knowing exactly which because they will not tell you, relying solely on the explanation that as the system is automatic, there is nothing they can do.

The way I have operated my account hasn't differed very much over the 9+ years I have been on the platform and am puzzled as to why the problem has only arisen over the past few weeks. Right now, I am not too sure what I can and cannot do. What I do know is that I am heartily fed up with being treated with contempt which is why I have been forced into the decision of stopping active interaction with SC from the end of 2022.

I heartily wish things were different but as I said, it's clear that it is impossible to carry on like this...

Energetic – That's how I Feel
Electric Chains Drive my Spinnin' Wheels
Energetic – I'm Feelin' Just Right
Energetic – Now Turn-On your Light!

Move Yourself Against the Wind
But Don't get Blown Away
You've been Searching for so Long
But you Don't Know what to Say!

Move Yourself Into that Space
Where Generosity Never Ends
Like a Fountain Lifts your Face
Where the Sorrow starts to Bend!

Don't Ever Ask
Why am I Here
You're Vital to Us
When Our Path's Unclear                         x2
I Need Your Love, Spirit, and Fire!
Spread Astral Wings
My Pen You Inspire!

Move Yourself Against the Wind – but Don't get Blown Away
You've been Searching for so Long, but You Don't Know what to say

Energetic – That's how I Feel !
Electric Chains Drive my Spinnin' Wheels
Energetic – I'm Feelin' Just Right
Energetic – Now Turn-On your Light !!!

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.

Lyrics:: „I miss the days“

Verse One
Sunday turned into Friday 
I spent 5 days
Hiding
Trying everything to forget you
Trying to get back to my youth

Pre - Chorus
Oh, 
how things have changed
I’ve fallen from grace
I miss the days
When it was just me
Before I met you
Before I got all these wounds

Chorus
you said
I’ll love you always
But always is a promise
That no one can keep
Thought you were the one in my dreams
Guess I’ll just keep fantasizing

Verse Two
Im awake at 2am
In a cold sweat
Cause the bed 
Gets colder and colder 
Dont know what I’m doing
It’s so confusing
Can’t find my footing

I Miss The Days - Paploviante

Happy Sunday my SC friends. I’m having a great time revisiting my favorite books and movies, trying to find inspirational material for these liner notes. The author I want to share today is one of my greatest influences in life (and one many of you know as well)… Ram Dass.

I’ll be sharing some of my favorite quotes of his momentarily. But before I do that, I would like to mention why he was so inspiring to me. 

What makes Ram Dass a unique esoteric/spiritual voice is that he actually started out as an Atheist. But he openly struggled with not knowing the answers to life’s most profound questions, and he was willing to pursue alternative ways of thinking, and update his beliefs based on his direct experiences. 

While he was still Dr. Richard Alpert, he began his explorations through the use of psychedelics while teaching at Harvard University. He joined Timothy Leary in these studies; but Harvard wasn’t thrilled with this potentially scandalous exploration, and fired them both. He then decided to take his spiritual explorations to India. This is where he had a perspective shifting, unexplainable first encounter with Neem Karoli Baba (who later became his guru, affectionately known as Maharaj-ji). He was given the name Ram Dass (servant of God) by his guru; and after spending several years at Neem Karoli Baba’s ashram, he became one of the leading voices of the 60s counter-culture movement. 

For me, his is a voice of love and humor and acceptance. And when I read his books and hear him speak, the feeling I get is ‘Hey, I don’t have it all figured out just yet. But I’m willing to put in the daily practice, and see if I’m a better person tomorrow. Do you want to join me on this adventure, fellow traveler?” And that is so refreshing when you just need the gentle, loving voice of a compassionate friend. 

Here are some of my favorite thought provoking quotes (many from his book, One Liners):
_______

“In most of our human relationships, we spend much of our time reassuring one another that our costumes of identity are on straight.”

“You can’t be free if in any fashion you’re holding the hand of fear.”

“It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed.”

“Treat everyone you meet like God in drag.”

“At the moment when there’s nothing more to lose, the Ego breaks open—and then we see who we are behind who we thought we were.”

“A feeling of aversion or attachment toward something is your clue that there’s work to be done.”

“To materialist eyes, India is a developing country; to spiritual eyes, the United States is a developing country.”

“If you think you’re enlightened go spend a week with your family.”

“Our journey is about being more deeply involved in life, and yet less attached to it.”

“Everything changes once we identify with being the witness to the story, instead of the actor in it.”

“We’re all just walking each other home.”
_______

Those are just a few of my favorite quotes. If you enjoyed those, you’ll love his books and recorded lectures (easily found on YouTube) as well. His voice has been a kind and gentle presence for me since my teens, and his passing back in 2019 was a sad day for me. But it’s like he said, “When someone we love dies, we get so busy mourning what died that we ignore what didn’t.” His ideas will live on in my heart for the rest of my life, and that is a priceless gift. I hope you enjoy ‘Upgrading My RAM So DASS Will Launch’. :)

LES HOMMES

Les êtres humains se tuent
Pour gagner de la place,
Un territoire perdu
C’est autant de menaces.
A chacun son terrain
Et son bout du monde,
Mais défendre le sien
C’est toujours à la bombe.

Les pays veulent voir grand,
Ecraser à tout va.
Les bons et les méchants
Justifient leurs combats.
C’est la loi du plus fort
Sans chercher à se dire,
On comptera les morts
Sous la stèle du souv’nir.

De tous temps il y’a eu
Pour la guerre une justice,
Tant de corps disparus,
De mauvais sacrifices.
Sous couverts de prétextes,
N’importe, on justifie
Et alors sans complexe,
On s’invente des tueries.

Plus fier que la bête
L’homme est grand, se sent beau,
Et ne reste bien en fait
Que le pire des salauds.
A l’entendre souvent
On finirait par croire,
Que seuls les bains de sang
Lui donnent la gloire.

Que penser de la race
La plus intelligente,
Qui ne laissera pour trace
Que des images violentes.
Et fort plus grave encore
Si on le laisse faire,
Ce sera bien la mort
De la planète entière.

Alors me direz vous
Et vous avez raison ?
Dans un sac met pas tout,
Il y a quelques bons !
Mais en regardant bien
Faut pas rêver et croire,
C’est bien l’homme de demain
Qui termin’ra l’histoire.

MEN

human beings kill each other
To save space,
A lost territory
So many threats.
To each his own land
And his end of the world,
But defend his
It's still bomb.

Countries want to think big,
Crush everything.
The good guys and the bad guys
Justify their fights.
It's the law of the strongest
Without trying to say,
We will count the dead
Under the stele of remembrance.

At all times there has been
For war a justice,
So many missing bodies
Bad sacrifices.
Under cover of pretexts,
It doesn't matter, we justify
And then without complex,
We invent killings.

prouder than the beast
The man is tall, feels handsome,
And don't stay well in fact
Than the worst of bastards.
To hear it often
We would end up believing,
That only bloodbaths
Give Him the glory.

what about race
the smartest,
Who won't leave a trace
What violent images.
And much more serious still
If we let it,
It will be death
From the whole planet.

So will you tell me
And you are right ?
In a bag don't put everything,
There are a few good ones!
But looking closely
Do not dream and believe,
He is the man of tomorrow
Which will end the story.

LES HOMMES (Chanson Française)

Musicien depuis l’âge de 13 ans, je n’ai jamais cessé d’être amoureux de la musique.
J’ai participé à un concours international francophone dans les années 80.
Par la suite, j’ai créé le groupe Top-Sonart qui a été en nomination deux fois à l’Adisq,et qui a pris fin en 1987.
J’ai ensuite écrit plusieurs chansons et musiques qui n’ont jamais joué nulle part. C’est pourquoi je les partage maintenant avec la planète par Soundcloud.
Bonne écoute!

Musician since the age of 13, I have never stopped being passionate about music.
I participated in an international Francophone competition in the 80s.
Subsequently, I created the band Top-Sonart who was nominated two times at l’Adisq and which ended in 1987.
I then wrote several songs and music pieces that never played anywhere. That's why I now share them with the planet through Soundcloud.
Enjoy.
