Name: Music About The Human Emotions (Suite): Part 1 - Repentance by Edward Cortes composer in My string music
Duration: 9 min 3 s
Description: This series of works is a musical journey about the emotions that make us human and that define us at every moment.

Very expressive, excellent composition with splendid strings!

From the topic of this collection (emotions) to this specific recording on Repentance, you have a lot to chew on and mull over for the listener to enjoy and ponder too! For me, it sounds as though the piece could be divided in to sections titled -  opening: My God, What have you done! (awareness), followed by: What to do now?, then by, I must let go of the past, and winding up with an epiphany that you have the release you sought from the torment of guilt. At least, that is what I felt you were saying through your music!  ;) Wonderfully emotional piece, Edward!

Lyrics by Ren Faye , music by GMaks:

Spoken: Kitsune? Can you hear me? Help me! Spirit of Thunder... Help me, I know you are there...
Voices: Run

Run with me,
Feel the thunder,
I know that,
I won't fall under,
The rain it takes me,
Out of sight,
A kind of invisible night...

Hear my rhythm,
They're getting closer,
I can sense that,
Over my shoulder,
The storm provides,
A veil of now,
I can disappear into the crowds...

All I am and all I have,
all that I've learnt has lead me here,
And you are there, with me on my path,
Kitsune knows,
I'll be there at last...

This is my city,
These are my streets,
and I can feel it in every heartbeat,
and I will try with the best of me,
And I will try to set us free,

These are my rivers,
These are my streams
And I will try with every part of me...
I'll hear the dragon call my name
And I will try,
To keep us safe...

It's all I am...
All that I've learnt has brought me here...
It's what I feel,
The footsteps now...
I know that I can set us free...

These are my cities, these are my streets,
And I can feel them with every heartbeat,
And I will try with the best of me,
With everything to set us free...

Although I run
And I'm on my own
With Kitsune I'm never alone...
And I will try with the best of me...
I will try to set us free....

Kitsune - GMaks & Ren Faye

On the theme of this song
Marcel Proust used to say that we should not explain a work of art, that it is a bit like giving the recipe for a dish that we offer to taste. I am generally more of this opinion but for this piece I will depart from the rule for several reasons: its length its theme its difficult and slow creation.
We often go through less inspired times sometimes even it's a great desert of ideas that seems to extend as far as the eye can see. That’s a bit of what I’ve been through for the past two years, and probably many of us. And then this summer with Aline during our vacation in the city of Nantes we visited an incredible exhibition on hypnosis and in particular the breathtaking installation by artist Tony Oursler (https://tonyoursler.com/state_nonstate- hypnosis) which was the trigger. For some time now, I had in mind the idea of ​​a series of songs around the theme of sleep and dreams (the diva in the Watchmaker Dream was the first of the series) hypnosis then became the central theme. of this second song which took the form of a suite in 7 moments.
Hysteria is a neurosis which is characterized by real physical distress and suffering which are symptoms of conflicts and psychological trauma. At the end of the nineteenth century many famous doctors like Charcot and Freud began to regard hysteria as a disease and try to treat it with hypnosis. (Freud will abandon this technique later, preferring analysis by speaking alone)
The song tells the story of a session like this in its fanciful way.



the music

I also tried to give the mix a very analog color. We worked as much as possible the old-fashioned way with real instruments plugged into tube amps, emulations of old analog synths, and a tube mic for vocals in a tube eq too, and especially trying to play them. taken live. Finally, I used emulations of mythical consoles from the seventies a lot.

Construction
The piece is conceived as a series of "pictures"  alternating of instrumentals and parts sung by Aline. All these parts were recorded in order one after the other in a single session.

 The illustration
Drawn by Aline the beginning of a series of drawings that we will integrate into a video that may see the light of day in some time

Al’z (https://soundcloud.com/al-z-z-z)
Thank you very much to Al who, not content to deliver us one of his magnificent solos of which he has the secret to close the song, lent me his ears to advise me on this mix.
Ghost in me part one
Something in itself that repeats endlessly
Two bass
A wooden metronome the beating of a heart the ticking of a clock
1 33 Mesmerise me

Hypnosis as a game of seduction ...
 
mesmerise me
hypnotize me
set my mind free
 from my bloody body

Were you a kind of Freud, or doctor Charcot?
In your eyes I saw, a strange dark glow ...

mesmerise me
hypnotize me
set my mind free
 from my bloody body

I was the kind of girl you wanted on the couch
you were to heal my soul, you said you….

501 now you’re sleeping
Not easy with this drummer ^^
5.47 tell me where it hurts
Symptoms, resistance  ...
7.06 Painful soul, body complaint
Body and mind, the voice is the physical expression of the soul
Only one take for Aline and it was in the box….
10 49 Open that door
Open a door to find behind the symptoms ...
11.58 Ghosts in me part 2
... the ghosts of childhood
 Small intrusion into the trip hop
Solo guitar: Al’z
With a helping hand from our old "partner in crime" Al who plays the final solo

It's written on my aching body,
like a long and meaningless story.
I search in the buried memories
The key that could set me free.

Ghosts in me, ghosts of my childhood
haunt my endless sleepless nights.
Ghosts in me, ghosts from my cloudy mood
chase the day, darken the lights.

I'm lost in the land of no reason,
I am the inmate, I am the prison.
I want your help to find my way,
lead my soul to the light day.

However, it was lost. So I tried to reproduce it once more.
I think I got pretty close.

Lyrics

Verse 1
I don’t see a way you could find it here….

refrain
You got the sunlight on your skin
You’re looking for a win
Nothing heals your sin
Babe it’s time to go
Babe it’s time to go
You know it’s time to go
Again

Verse 2
See the rain
on the window
Crashing down again
Three miles from where we began…

refrain
You got the sunlight on your skin
You’re looking for a win
Nothing heals your sin

Babe it’s time to go
Babe it’s time to go
You know it’s time to go
Again

Verse 3
Well the rain keeps falling down
Nothing left to see in this old town
So much sin bringing us to the ground……

Refrain
You got the sunlight on your skin
You’re looking for a win
Nothing heals your sin

Babe it’s time to go
Babe it’s time to go
You know it’s time to go
Again

Outro
I see the sunlight now
I see the sunlight now
I feel the sunlight on my skin

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Well I Know
Well I know
I feel the sunlight on my skin
Well I know
There’s something happening here

Sunlight for your sins
