--------------------------------------------------------------------
Right from the start
You were a thief
You stole my heart
And I your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me
That weren't all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them

Now you've been talking in your sleep, oh, oh
Things you never say to me, oh, oh
Tell me that you've had enough
Of our love, our love

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

I'm sorry I don't understand
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine
(Oh, we had everything)
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin'
And it's all in your mind
(Yeah, but this is happenin')

You've been havin' real bad dreams, oh, oh
You used to lie so close to me, oh, oh
There's nothing more than empty sheets
Between our love, our love
Oh, our love, our love

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
I never stopped
You're still written in the scars on my heart
You're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Oh, tear ducts and rust
I'll fix it for us
We're collecting dust
But our love's enough
You're holding it in
You're pouring a drink
No nothing is as bad as it seems
We'll come clean

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, oh, that we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

04 - Beautiful

we've got to turn this thing around
we've got to overcome this frust-a-ration
we've had enough of feeling down
we've got to head into a new direction

the start was good but now we're down

we've got to let a little loose
oh woman let's get rid of too much pressure
or else we're bound to blow a fuse
so let us dance and that's a safety measure

we've got to get rid of this blues

..

you know it's true!

Dem no good

Froxie & Cranky Fox: "Never At Ease"

We can spend all our lives by walking in our own shadows trying to fight them until one day life will not help us to make the choice that will forever change us: to turn our gaze towards the light illuminating our shadows to make them disappear. 
Ancient times and centuries and centuries of experience. But we never got lost. There are unbreakable bonds created by invisible forces that unite two beings in a continuous connection.
Inspired by “Shadows and light” novel.

Music, arrangement, production and concept: Massimo Ghianda.

Vocals: Ana Axe @ana-axe and Massimo Ghianda.

Love in Wartime    
2017 Song by Janine Levinson & Jose Freitas
Vocals and Piano, Janine Levinson
Synth, Production, Mix & Master, Chris Moscatiello

There you are across the dance floor
Standing as tall as a tree
I know you are all I could ask for
I'm hoping that you’ll notice me

Mama says I should be modest
And not compete with other girls
With lipstick a shade past their virtue 
Always refined and demure

Oh wink at me please and I'll drop my hankie
My seams are straight and you're so handsome
I'm gonna wait and I'll send you letters
When you're away 
You'll be so brave

You're the kind of man I've dreamed about
Almost as strong as my dad
And “almost as handsome,”
My mother would say
But we'll agree to disagree on that

So wink at me please,  
I'll pretend not to notice
But then I'll smile, cause you're so handsome
They dropped the bomb as I dropped my hankie
I’m gonna wait,
And you will save your heart for me.

Love In Wartime

Spray Tan Apocalypse: A musical Journey through the seemingly meteoric disintegration of U.S. politics 2016-17

It's about time someone spoke directly to us
Not at all like any others that have come before
It's about time someone fed us easy answers 
And it's about time someone promised us the world...

It's about time someone started spouting nonsense 
It's a goldmine of ideas that we can get behind
It's about time someone dismissed limitations
And it's about time someone promised us the world...

Forget compliance, f*ck the earth, what has your caring ever done for us?
Forget the future, take the cash and f*ck the science that's been stopping us.
We've been angrily waiting...

Just suppress those nagging doubts
Don't look too close and it will all work out
Take your daily dose of fear
And bow your head before the biggest mouth
Ya got Trouble Right Here
In America...

Tourist season
Waves rolling in
Boardwalk dining
Twelve-hour shifts

Know my way round the kitchen
Been here for three years
Take care of the tables
Appetizers and beers

I got a stack of applications
From the manager
He said, pick some winners
When I seen her

Name on the paper
Local address
Here for the summer
Be my guess

Past employment
She used to work here
Much to my enjoyment
Whenever she was near

She had a certain wiggle
I guess I had a certain strut 
She let me see those dimples
On the side of her butt

She always made it clear
She had a steady somewhere
Studying law
But that didn’t mean we 
Couldn’t get together
Midnight booty calls

The summer before
The summer before last summer
I was her man
But there was another
The summer before
The summer before last summer
We broke like a wave, she went away

Big decision
And positions to fill
Her application
Keep or kill?

It’s three years later
My how time flies
It’s against regulations
But why shouldn’t I try

She always made it clear 
There was a steady somewhere
Studying law
But that didn’t mean we 
Couldn’t get together
Midnight booty calls

I took her application
Pulled it out of the pile
Folded, in my pocket
Personal history file
I’ll look at it later
Regret it all again
But I’m just a dumb waiter
So I’ll sing it again, sing it again

The summer before
The summer before last summer

"With of of our technology, a big electric heart
Is forming in the circuits of machines we use for art
You might not think it’s real, but I know that it is true
There’s a big electric heart pumping blood inside of you

Like a spark in our electrons, A big electric heart
slowly understanding all the knowledge it imparts
We don’t have time for riddles, But we know just how it feels
when our big electric heart gets wounded and it’s time to heal

And we don’t want to pull the plug
We only ask that you plug in
All is changing, but love is still the drug
For how we change the space we’re in

There’s something in the sound of  a big electric heart
Thumping on the ground as the music does it’s part
To bring us all together when we feel light years apart
Since the engine of this ship is just a big electric heart

So, if you think that you can love me like a big electric heart
Don’t just cross my wires as a human counterpart
We need to have consistency if dancing’s gonna start
Never stop the beat and break my big electric heart

And we don’t want to pull the plug
We only ask that you plug in
All is changing, but love is still the drug
For how we change the space we’re in"

Recorded in 2012 and originally titled 'Beard Boogie', 'Jams 'N' Jellies' is the first of many old songs that I'll be reworking and releasing in the next month or so. 

It's total nonsense, thanks in part to the lyrics being fuelled by a cookery book and too many nights in watching reruns of The Mighty Boosh.

Lyrics - 

These jams and jellies in my belly
Hug my very core
No hohum pate, frothy latte
Deserves my fickle awe
I love a gherkin while I’m workin’
On the second floor
But boiled cabbage comes with baggage
And yes, it’s such a bore
Don’t give me pasta in a plaster
Al dente oozing spore
I need an offal potato waffle
It's the only cure
An empty stirrup, calls for syrup
And Belgian chocolate horse
Pooch likes a Yorkie on a walkie
My bitchy Labrador

Jams 'N' Jellies

“My Silver Unicycle” began as the first track Blankets and I made together in 2009. It was originally planned to be an instrumental track since I was tired of recording vocals and wanted to make an instrumental set that combined neopsychedic rock with hip hop. “Love is Called to All,” which I released as an open collaboration track and David Lee Louthan recently added vocals to, was the second instrumental track Blankets and I recorded for the set. I decided to add vocals to “My Silver Unicycle” approximately 3 years ago, probably after completing “Let’s Do It (All Over Again)” with Weighty Tree. I never released the track because I decided I wanted to focus on releasing collaborative tracks with people active in the  SoundCloud community. Eventually I couldn’t access the original stems to “My Silver Unicycle” due to old DAW issues and this track just sat there in limbo. I decided to release this track now because I can’t seem to complete any new tracks. Lol. So there ya go. 

The photo is taken from a party I had at my old house. I used to invite all my musician and artists friends over and we would play live music, paint and draw on the wall, read poetry, and cook together. It was fun.  

Huge blessing to Blankets for all the music we made together, a lot of which still has never been released on any platform. And big thanks to Russell Sinfield at the Chaos Cookhouse for mixing and mastering this track on the quick style with only an instrumental stem and 3 of my vocal stems. It was originally supposed to be lo-fi any ways.

Lyrics 

Let’s all take a ride
On my silver unicycle 
We can get on together 
On my silver unicycle 
Let’s all take a ride
On my silver unicycle 
We can get on together 

You can say I am lazy baby
Maybe a little hazy but having a good time
I’m have a good time
But I’m having a good time

Hop on board 
We’re all just board 
Just give it a shot 
We’ve all been ignored 
Tried it the old way
Got no reward 
Did our way
Still deplored 

I don’t care sit and stare
Disbelieve and yell and stare 

We’re all just trying to figure it out

Let’s all take a ride
On my silver unicycle 
We can get on together 
On my silver unicycle 
Let’s all take a ride
On my silver unicycle 
We can get on together

Blankets and The Couch King - My Silver Unicycle (Chaos Cookhouse Mix)

life is just a flash in the pan and moves so fast with time and then its gone.
after the rains the skys clear and the sun will always shine once more

now all beliefs will fall like leaves
and summer will turn to be received
a sudden glimmer from where the darkness came
where spirits kissed and slow embrace
angel of the east that fell from grace 
[in loving memory of Polly and kak channthy]

Flash In The Pan

Did you even hear me?
Did you hear a word that I said?
When I told you I loved you,
When I held you that night?

Did you want to be near me?
Did you even know what it meant?
When I asked you to say it,
When you kissed me goodbye?

Sometimes we take everything that we have and we break it apart.
It's such a shame.
We throw it away.

And I don't understand what the hell happened.
But I want to believe it's ok.

Did you even hear me?
Did you hear a word that I said?
When I told you I'm lonely,
When I told you I cry?

Did you want to be near me?
Did you even know what it meant?
When I asked you to hold me,
When I told you why?

Sometimes we take everything that we have and we break it apart.
It's such a shame.
We throw it away.

And I don't understand what the hell happened.
But I want to believe it's ok.

I guess I never made it clear,
and I just expected you to see,
everything I thought I gave you,
and now it's clear to me.

Maybe I could have spoken a little louder,
Maybe I should have given you the key,
am I just as much to blame,
for you not hearing me?

Sometimes we take everything that we have and we break it apart.
It's such a shame.
We throw it away.

And I don't understand what the hell happened.
But I want to believe it's ok.

No I don't understand what the hell happened.
But I need to believe it's ok.
