Nighthawk Confession

Have you ever felt the feeling when you're walking down the alley
Rain is pouring down, and footsteps walk behind your back
When you turn around to look
No one's there


I'm so afraid I can't help it
I'm so tall but still so small
They all feel it, but they can't see it
They call it weakness


Have you felt the fear in a crowd?
Fighting your way through the masses
They see the fear in your eyes
Don't shed a tear for their demise


I'm so afraid I can't help it
I'm so tall but still so small
They all feel it, but they can't see it
They call it weakness


(SOLO)


They call it weakness
I call it fear

They call it weakness
I call it fear


I'm so afraid I can't help it
I'm so tall but still so small
They all feel it, but they can't see it
They call it weakness
I call it fear

Can someone help me

I'm so afraid, i'm so afraid

Can someone help me

Give Me Five Minutes

So Afraid

lyrics:
We've been through a lot, a lot of shit
now it's time to fight, fight against
against this depression and evil vibe
this is the time we will take over our lives

We've been submersed deep deep down
we've lost our faith into this evil town
we have to get back, get back to our own feet
we had enough, enough with this shit!

and now we have our head up high
we know what it's true and never dies
and now we step up with god's command
we won't take it anymore, not get stuck into the sand

It won't take forever just to reach our dream
it won't take forever to delete the bad scene
it won't take forever to hold your hand
it won't take forever to the promised land

it won't take forever to live again
it won't take forever to face the sun
it won't take forever, it won't take forever!

-1st verse-
Your sounds are immortal, you give us the flame
You signed all that music, with hard stuff you came
You’ve rolled my life, you rocked those nights away
Noise of strong beats, nice scent of leather
Vinyl records, the old days flavour
You rule the gigs, let you play
		
Chorus 1:
You know, you master how to please
You give us all the keys
Show us the way, let’s take a chance	
The legacy you’ve left	
Your songs so fully deft
You’re Rock and Roll Legends

You master how to please
You give us all the keys
Show us the way, set up the rules
The legacy you’ve left
Your songs so fully deft
You are hooked on rock you’ve got demons in your souls
 
-2 nd verse-
You came with your guitars, you raised us on rock
My heart’s a rolling stone that beats to the block
You’ve rolled my life, you rocked those nights away
Tattoos from hell, nice LPs covers
Stunning lightings, outstanding colours
You rule the gigs, let you play

Rock'n'Roll Legends

Fire and Ice

It's stormy you stand alone
you feel the danger in the evening tone
lightning crashes, sky full of light
everything is happening in this night

I feel it, the fear has grown
and soon it will be shown
too late, no time to inquire
everyone escape the fire
screams, then the flammes grow higher
away from the ring of fire

too much, the heat is intense
the heat threatens our existence
no turning back, the strain's immense

run for your life, fire
just to survive
everybody get out, fire
screams are so loud

everyone get out, fire
shout it out loud, fire
no time to hesitate
It's not too late

the wind howls a chilling scream
beeing far away is everybody's dream
seeking shelter, the cold sets in
fire, storm and ice, it all will begin

It's too cold, the frost is dire
so we must start a fire
the fire melts the ice away
and the night looses its grey

the frozen night is severe
no one can hide their fear
the cold's grip is very strong
and the night is much too long
It's a blizzard, no path in sight
we must find a way to the light

forstbyte and fear – so cold -
shelter now gets near
the path becomes clear

run for you life
just to survive
everybody get in – so cold -
your life to win

Cast of Characters:
Joe Stroffolino-- @joseph-stroffolino -- Taylor 114ce acoustic guitar, main vocals, harmony vocals, lyrics, composition 
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender HSS Telecaster electric guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson Custom T electric guitar, mix, mastering, and production
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –- four string Fender Precision Bass with a plectrum 
 
This song began as one of Joe's, lyrically centered songs, which he wrote and filled in with VST instruments. He came up with the lyrics by sharing ideas with fellow SoundCloud musician Michele Ansani.
   Knowing that Josh is a fan of his work, Joe offered this song to him in hopes that he'd share it with the rest of the band. Of course, Josh jumped at the opportunity to work on his song, and immediately shared it with the rest of the group. 
  Ken went to work first, adding his driving, excting drums. Josh was having a hard time coming up with a good bass line for it, until Ken suggested that he use the power of the 1/8 note to propel it. Tez was up next with his clever fills you hear throughout the first half of the song. Stephen came along right after and matched Tez's energy for the guitar fills in the second half of the song. 
  It was still missing a solo in the designated spot, though, so Mark stepped up with his innovative piano solo you hear in the middle. If it sounds a little mechanical, that's because he's using an arpeggiator to achieve the effect. We thought it sounded good in a song about AI, though. 
  Once all the parts were dialed in, and Joe had gotten all his vocals tuned up, we asked one of our resident pros, Stephen, to mix it for us. He did that and mastered it, too, expertly, as always.
  This is the first song we've ever done with Joe, and don't expect it to be the last. We all really enjoyed putting together, in no small part because Joe is such a competent, receptive, and gracious collaborator. We all hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. 
Original lyrics by Joe Stroffolino (and Michele Ansani):
When I was thirteen I picked up my first guitar
it was my mother's, it only had one nylon string 
I tried to play it like a rock star
I learned to play the Coca-Cola jingle
So I could teach the world to sing
When I was fourteen, I put on six new strings
I learned to play Beatles, I learned a Bob Dylan song
I sounded out of tune but I tried to carry on
At fifteen I wrote my first original tune 
So bad it sounded like it might have been written by a baboon
When I was sixteen, I got a new guitar for my birthday
The metal strings sawed through my fingers 
But I continued to play
And the calluses formed and every day I learned a brand new chord
I was obsessed with that guitar and I never grew bored.
I wrote songs every day and most of them were a mess
But I believed that through hard work, I could achieve success
Malcom Gladwell wrote a book that said it takes ten thousand hours
To become and expert at your craft
But now all it takes is two commands and an enter
And in two minutes you have ten versions of the same damn new song,
You just have to choose the type
folk, rock, rap, pop, metal, jazz, trap or blues.
You don't even need to write the lyrics, 
your push a few buttons let the AI choose.
And people will think your songs are great even though you didn’t write or play a single note.
When I was 20, I did my first concert, it was time
it occurred in a village square
there were four cats all friends of mine
I was still using the plectrum and sometimes I got the chords wrong
at thirty I finally wrote what I thought was a decent song
It had a very well thought out structure
And a catchy vibe and beat
It was overly verbose but when I played it people tapped their feet
In my forties I stopped wasting my time
Work was more fun I was doing just fine

AI Sucks! (Eclectic Collective with Joe Stroffolino)

Single swing of the hammer drive the nail
Single wag of the tongue drive the jackknife

Drag me out by my feet, hands bound
Drag the poor man down, drop in quicksand

Struggle all your life
Do what's right
Struggle all your life
To be fair
Then in the end you end up a pile of bones

Call for help but no sound, I still scream
Fires rise around pile of bones

Struggle all your life
Do what's right
Struggle all your life
To be fair
Then in the end you end up a pile of bones

Violence begets violent life
Frantic in the quiet

Violence begets violent life
Frantic in the quiet

Struggle all your life
Do what's right
Struggle all your life
To be fair
Then in the end you end up a pile of bones

Dropped In Quicksand

Hey all, I thought this fun experimental piece still felt minimal with open spaces ready for further development. So I'm sharing it out as an open collab and hoping others will be interested in taking up the challenge!

It's a bit of a weird one, but please feel free to use as many or as few elements as you would like. Here is a link to the stems:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1THt60PCv9tYi2b6fxKciQcs-7ykBEf2b?usp=sharing

For inspiration, check out the totally different direction that E.P. Beats @lala-land-361191160 took with it on his crazy-cool phonk remix!

If anyone else makes their own mix I'll start a running playlist and link it here.

During Medieval & Renaissance days the fencing word..
“Colpi Dritti”…means: “Vadi blows from the right side used to defend one self” as the warriors had to do…

Just a fun experimental piece …

“Colpi Dritti”  by Luke

Hello… thanks for dropping by. This song is a loud, electric-slide song. It has overdriven slide, some homemade (learning how to:no drum kit) percussion, a vocal harmony and gravely vocals. I am happy I am able to do this at all, at 68 years of age… especially singing, which greatly wanes with age. (I really just started to sing within the last decade or so.) Traveling On… may be seen as a metaphor, or not, it doesn’t really matter. It might signify personal change or a movement toward and/or away from something. There is a hint of recognition, insofar as the unwavering essence of who we are… There is a suggestion of working toward peace. Again, this could be seen as metaphorical, in a sense of personal introspection. What do we espouse, condone and accept in this life for ourselves and society? Do you want to ‘Travel On’? Thanks for hanging out, Mark

Traveling On

LYRICS

When I think of you it's new
When I think of you it's oh so good and blue
It's when I am empty and full
When I think of you it's soooo
Actually I can't stop
Actually I can't stop

Thinking of you
Thinking of you
Thinking of you

When I think of you it's new
When I think of you it's oh so good and blue
It's when I am empty and full
When I think of you it's soooo
Actually I can't stop
Actually I can't stop

Thinking of you
Thinking of you
Thinking of you

When I think of you I get so blue
So blue
Just thinking of you
So blue thinking of you
I wish I could be happy
When I thought of your face
But it's something now I can't erase
Can't erase thinking of you
Thinking of you

[LYRICS]

now,
i haven't slept for days
i don't even know the last time i ate
( this ashtray... )
[ HERE'S ANOTHER RED FLAG SONG ]
( full always... )
[ YOU NEVER LISTEN OR SING ALONG ]

reaching out to what i call a "friend"
as a means to provide proof that i'm not dead
( still useless... )
[ NOTHING I MAKE ]
( no noose fits... )
[ MAKES ME HAPPY ]

hold it in your hand 
JUST BREATHE IN.
then-
bring it slowly to your wrist
BLISS BURNS.
when life turns bland-
KNOW YOU CAN:
grace your skin
with a razor's kiss

ketamine? 
i mean-
i might?
i may...
KNOWING SOMEDAY I'LL DIE
KEEPS ME SLEEPING SOUNDLY
dramamine.
i need:
to keep.
to feed.
ALL THE NAUSEA INSIDE
WHENEVER MIGRAINES TAKE ME

i've been-
RUNNING WITH FIRE
under my feet again
so i can
lie to these 
FAKE FUCKING PEOPLE
with groomed-in ANXIETY

am i lonely?

i've been-
RUNNING WITH FIRE
under my feet again
so i can
fight the need 
TO KEEP ASKING PEOPLE
the questions i tend to think

am i lonely?

[ ONE DAY I'LL FADE LEWY BODY IN MY BRAIN ]
[ THE ONLY SWEET RELEASE FROM A LIFE THAT WAS ALL PAIN ]

am i lonely?

( i don't think so? )
then again- 
i don't win...
[ COMPLIMENTS, I DON'T GET ]
what do i know?
( my life... bores me? )
sometimes love-
mostly numb...
[ MISS. ME. WITH. THAT. FAKE. SHIT. ]

am i lonely?

[ SOME DAYS I SLIP GET COMPLACENT AND FORGET ]
[ HOW EVERY DAY'S A STRUGGLE AND EVERYTHING. IS. STILL. SHIT. ]

am i lonely?

Heavy Punk Rock 'n' Roll band turns into Synthwave nowadays! Brand NEW album "Ultraviolet Cosmos" available NOW!
https://shockthealgorithm.bandcamp.com/album/ultraviolet-cosmos

„a style of Doom blending from destructive energy to a own creative dominance“

Epic Down is a duo from Leipzig, Germany dedicated to the sluggish grooves and lumbering riffs of sludge & doom, started in 2021 by Mitzschi (guitar(s)/bass) and Fabian (drums/vocals).
Influenced by primal doom, drone and stoner, the sound of Epic Down is mainly characterized by solid downtempo grooves and rolling walls of guitars, complemented by slightly melancholic vocals.

With the release of their first EP "Equinox Pt1" and it’s sequel "Equinox Pt2" in 2023, the band stepped into the light of publicity.
After signing to Argonauta Records the band was able to celebrate the release of „days of oblivion“ as their debut album in fall 2024.
