Back to this beautiful piece of music. Hope you guys are well! So love your music : )

Thanks we are ok although one in Canada the other in Paris and me in Nice... Hope you are ok too.

just beautiful. the melody sinks in wonderfully & then the vocals soar in over the top. heartbreaking but also life affirming! this reminds of Nick Caves song 'into my arms'

The tenderest lyrics, such a warm tone to the melody, and your vocal is so rich..... Lovely!

Fading Call / Minority

As I'd mentioned in the other version of this track, I sent some stems over to @enigmacurry and he produced to amazing mixes. I really wanted to release both of them even though this one is ridiculously long, I found Ryan's creative iterations and evolutions of the source material to be super fascinating on here.

Check out version B here:

Fractal Traffic A (epic extended mix) - w/ Enigma Curry

Special thanks to Cecilia for her a cappella ...of which I modified the tone in order to fit perfectly with my arrangement and atmosphere

***LYRICS***

I smell the ocean, I hear the sea,
I feel the warmth of sunshine on me,
But its all in my minds eye,
I'm doing 25 to life ....... yeeaaah 

Locked in 6 by 9 all day,
I never got to have my say,
Lawyer said you'll be fine,
Now im fighting for my life ..my liiiife!!!!! 

Persecuted from a young age
Cops never let up, had me framed,
My father's dead my mothers insane,
Blue collar family from East LA... 

25 to life
25 to life, yeah
25 to life
25 to liiiiiiiiife


Appeals exhausted , what can I say,  
state says im guilty, ill always remain,
California politics dictate,
You got to run with you own race 
But that's crazy and that ain't my way,
I aint running with these fools any day,
Shot callers spoken,  who holds the keys,
Waiting for death to come claim me... 

25 to life
25 to life
25 to life 
25 to life
Yeaaaaaah 





25 - Life

ECOLOGY 😮-😡😡😡

EVERY TREE CUT DOWN OR DELIBERATELY PRUNED (so that it falls on its own later...) GREATLY AMPLIFIES GLOBAL WARMING, THE CAUSES OF WHICH ARE VERY MULTIPLE, PRIMARILY THE ACTIVITY OF THE SUN.
YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELVES THAT THOSE WHO GOVERN US ARE NOT THE LAST TO GIVE THEIR AGREEMENT TO THIS DESTRUCTIVE MASSACRE... THIS HAS BEEN ESPECIALLY VERIFIABLE AND VISIBLE ON THE SEASIDE FOR MANY YEARS!!! A REAL SCANDAL!
THERE IS NO SURVEILLANCE, NO FINES, JUST LAXITY, LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE.
THIS INTENSIVE AND ORGANIZED DISAPPEARANCE OF TREES HAS MANY HARMFUL CONSEQUENCES FOR LIVING THINGS AND THE PLANET, UNDENIABLY ALTERING THE CLIMATE. 

ÉCOLOGIE 😮-😡😡😡

CHAQUE ARBRE COUPÉ OU TAILLÉ DÉLIBÉRÉMENT (pour qu'il tombe tout seul plus tard...) AMPLIFIE CONSIDÉRABLEMENT LE RÉCHAUFFEMENT CLIMATIQUE, DONT LES CAUSES SONT MULTIPLES, EN PREMIER LIEU L'ACTIVITÉ DU SOLEIL.
VOUS POUVEZ CONSTATER QUE CEUX QUI NOUS GOUVERNENT NE SONT PAS LES DERNIERS À DONNER LEUR ACCORD À CE MASSACRE DESTRUCTEUR... CELA EST PARTICULIÈREMENT VÉRIFIABLE ET VISIBLE SUR LES BORDS DE MER DEPUIS DE NOMBREUSES ANNÉES !!! UN VÉRITABLE SCANDALE !
IL N'Y A AUCUNE SURVEILLANCE, AUCUNE AMENDE, JUSTE DU LAXISME, COMME TOUT LE RESTE.
CETTE DISPARITION INTENSIVE ET ORGANISÉE DES ARBRES A DE NOMBREUSES CONSÉQUENCES NÉFASTES POUR LES ÊTRES VIVANTS ET LA PLANÈTE, MODIFIANT INDÉNIABLEMENT LE CLIMAT.

Music for inspired by the realms of Avalon, for reflection, focus, and study

Between the Worlds

DAW Version
(Two runs of Acoustic and Vocal done simultaneously give us the spine here)

In my opinion when producing your recorded music maybe think of live playability. I feel it's a more authentic reflection of your abilities keeping that in the back of your mind when adding something. I always try and make it possible to express and that will allow TBD to become a great live act in the future as well as the studio work it is so far. All I need to find is the souls to do it with now 💪🏽🧬🎶

We need to save music with passion

The first letter made a page at 09:01 and the raw song got uploaded at 09:35. USE your instinct! Don't have a guess handed to you by the digital devil or evolution will take your sorry filled weak  ass genetics!

I don't know about you but it hurts me very deeply to see the indifference people are starting to show music with thoughtlessness. It is the job of true artists to passionately defend and spell out what makes musical character and how it moulds our culture and our individuality. Otherwise we are complicit in allowing a dystopian future unfold. FUCK THAT

I'll only start making more and more powerful passionate songs about this until people realise what stands to be killed! Enjoy your honey moon period I have more musical bombs then any program can ever manufacture. We have our RAW now here's the DAW.

FUCK INDIFFERENCE. Be real and be LOVE and we are all going to be fine

Further thoughts...
I talk about evolution a lot in music. One because we all need to tune into it properly in my pea head opinion. Also, music I believe is tied to our behavioral and cultural evolution more then we realise I think. A very small percentage of humans connect to scientists that explain our reality properly so hence don't get the fruits of those deliveries in an acceptable amount of detail. The very large majority of us do connect to music so I believe this right here is the best portal to connect people to good ideas about real life, the human condition, Earth and the Universe. That is maybe the most important reason we have to fight for it to not lose its soul because no matter creed or level of ego... At some level we generally keep the door open to music. It is the universal sender of love when conversation stops working. It needs to be protected by us all and that absolutley includes people who are thoughtlessly embracing the computer and becoming it's tool instead of the other way around. It's lmiting their skill development because of that or if you are just taking advantage of the status quo you are limiting the thoughts of young people trying their best so please think properly about it all 🙏🏽🫡🔆🤍

The Poem

So, you've invaded my world
You started this fight
Meet adamantium pearl
You won't crush me and music will win
Kids get inspired by character from within
This you can't clone even by force
'Cause this light will shine brighter everyone's course
Meet musical passion
Tears from the sun
Meet love you can't make with one/zero fun
Meet musical heart with wonderous words
Meet the deepest soul ahead of the curve
These tears are floods
Tanks of infinite force
To spell out this world giving spirit as source
I'll NEVER give up this musical WAR
You'll need to end me to allow you score
You can keep trying
I'll just always upgrade
The newer the kids...
The stronger I'll save
I pledge my life to fight for music
True character teaches evolution
We've fused it
Survival of fittest artists today
Will pave the way for creators to have more new say
Save the day and save yourselves
Grind those years to betterment elves
I am Thor for your digital drivel
You insult our culture so watch new civil
This hammer will beat it into your souls
We deliver this light by musical scroll
This is no dead sea
Love from me to you
Declare WAR for the soul of music!
I do!

Who's there? It's WAR

It's Peace

New song written and performed by David Cooper.

Lyrics:

High in a mountain sky
Feel yourself fly
Oh spread your wings

Run across the forest floor
Running by a sparkling stream
Just follow your dream

Chorus

Be, will you be the one
Be, will you be the one
Be, ah set us free
Baby let’s run

See, see the eagle fly
Across the sky
Over the mountains high

Fly away
Above the trees
To a place you need to be, need to be

Chorus

Solo

Chorus x 2

Baby, Let's Run

I am running in my dream
Really too scared to sleep
I need to wake up I know
I can’t be late
I am this open window

	Nine years behind the walls
	And one hour for me
I cross the many gates
And feel guilty again

I am running in my dream
You need your clean clothes
And the hidden chocolate
Hope they won’t find it
Hope they won’t find it

	Nine years behind the walls
	And one hour for me
I cross the many gates
And feel guilty again

20 minutes to breath
News, family and friends
The one that miss you, the one that hates you
The one that forgot you,
And you won’t forget

	Nine years behind the walls
	And one hour for me
I cross the many gates
And feel guilty again

You talk to me and I feel better 
When I see you kept the light
You ask me about outside
The girls and the sea,
The café and the bars

Do you remember the smell of the bakery as the sun rises
On the sea
Her long hair and funny smile,
Her soft skin and sparking eyes.

KING KONG

© Copyright Lyrics & Music JoFa 2009

Used to climb the highest mountains
I am climbing the tallest buildings
I am the enemy of mankind
They stole my kingdom
They made me a slave
Killing Mother Nature
Grinding, digging, 
With no caring, no sharing

Let me be your King
Let me be your Kong
I am out of the jungle
Never been to a city
I don’t know about pity
But I will fight for you
But I will die for you

Savage they call me
Beast they treat me
But my heart in one
One sun born for you Star
You are the one for me
You are the one from far
I will take all the risk
Just for you, tiny lady

 
Let me be your King
Let me be your Kong
I am out of the jungle
Never been to a city
I don’t know about pity
But I will fight for you
But I will die for you


We the black hairy ones
We the proud Bonobo’s
We fight till the end
My human queen
I will stand alone against the world
Will give you my last blink
Will give you my last breath

If I came here to Soho
It’s for you my princess so…
So let me keep you in my hand
Feel your skin so thin, thin
Until the end, the end
It will take a thousand bullets
To stop my heart for you to beat
Let them think I am the monster
You know who made the disaster.

King Kong

Minority 

© Copyright JoFa & Al 2021

I am the minority
I belong to humanity

I am the emergency
Loosing blood with dignity

You are the minority
Surviving to mediocrity
Telling truth to hypocrisy

Small people with big idea
Are we, are we
Are we an anomaly?

You thrive, you thrive,
You thrive for conformity
Dreaming of web and TV
Looking at me like an old three

Fading ethnies, fading species
A fading call for eternity

We are the unknown color
Sounding like a secret language

You want to turn the pages of the book
To forget the story we wrote

You all look alike an scared
So scared of diversity

You throw me out of the house
But I may have the key
But I may have the key
Harmony, harmony…

Minority

IN THE DUST

Not even an echo of myself
Not even a shadow
Try to leave a trace
A print in the sand, a light in the sky
In the dust, invisible, invisible
In the concrete jungle
Try to be a tree and leave my fruits
Just to bring my grace and fade away
That’s my story, … no glory

In the dust

Stop The Train

DESERT DESSERT 2

I wanna live…..live in my world
I wanna live…..live in my world
Hear…………..the poet in every word
See……………a flower in every soul

	I know you want me to play
	I know you want me to pay
	I know you want me to fight
	I know you want me to make money
	That I don’t need anyway

		But maybe one day
		But maybe one day
		
You’ll live my way
You’ll live my way
Sharing and caring
Loving and helping

	I know you want me to lie
	You say it’s the only way
	You want me to hate
	You want me to cry
	To kill the love inside

		But maybe one day
		But maybe one day
		
You’ll live my way
You’ll live my way

In My World

PLAY AROUND

It’s 6 in the morning
I hear the radio crying
I won't ever get up
I am still laying - sleeping
Stay here while it’s cold
And frightning outside - frightning outside
These people around are too serious
To save the planet 

	The world is round but we can’t play around - can’t play around
	Try to find another planet - another one
	Try to get out of the net
	Can’t get out of the bed 
	Can’t get out of the bed

Can’t smile today
These people around are too serious
To let me enjoy living - playing
I try to stay outside but anyway
I am in - the way (I got to pay)
These people around are too serious
To let anything grow
Except starvation and polution

The world is round but we can’t play around - can’t play around
	Try to find another planet - another one
	Try to get out of the net
	Can’t get out of the bed 
		Can’t get out of the bed
