This is the 4th song posted from the album I started using demo tracks given to me by Wou-Wou & the Wormling during the start of the pandemic when I had extra time due to society closing down. This song was inspired by Black Lives Matter and my own experiences with the police growing up in the California East Bay Area in the 80s. 

It has been an incredible opportunity working with Wou-Wou, Stricknice, and Bitzone on this album. I feel like we have a realized sound and vision for the overall style of the album. It is exciting to know that we have many more tracks ready to be released. 

Massive thanks to RUIZZOIDMAN (E-Ruizzo) for joining us on Cruising Through. RUIZZOIDMAN has massively contributed to the positive vibes and individual creative spirit that defines our SoundCloud community. This is the second track I have had the honor of RUIZZOIDMAN joining in on. Big ups RUIZZOIDMAN!!!

Lyrics:

Hey I caught you sniffing
Get off my tail 
What you think you sniffing
Get off my tail
Hey I see you sniffing
Get off my tail
What you think your sniffing

Is it the neighborhood I’m cruising through
Is it cause I’m rolling deep with my crew
Is it cause I don’t ever trust you
Is it your suspicious of me

Hey I caught you sniffing
What you think you sniffing
Hey I see you sniffing
What you think your sniffing

Is it your suspicious of me

Still feeling shamed I reclaim that part of me you took
With looks of disdain as I refrained afraid to get booked For nothing 
I shook from your tree
In fact it probably be 
My inherited fruit first 
That now you attempt to hoard in force
In tradition with your legacy of scarcity  
But my ancestral fraternity is inherently abundant 
There’s nothing to defund from it
Word

Yea, that’s what I’m talkin’ about

This is the neighborhood I’m cruising through
This is my neighborhood and I’m cruising through
This is our neighborhood and we goin’ cruise through

THE ONLY PARTY IN TOWN

Well ooh yeah!

She didn’t look like her sister
She talked like a brother
Smoked like a trooper
Swore like her father

Her lips had gone solid
At the bridge by the station
Cold in the car but she 
Walked like a casino

So why! 
Why are you singing this song
Why have you all come along
Was she the only party in town?
Well oh yeah!

We painted cathedrals (red)
Crossed the Atlantic (in Lennon’s bed)
Hundreds of packets of sweeteners (When she was caught)
Were found in her pockets

So why!
Why are you singing this song
Why have you all come along
Was she the only party in town?
Well oh yeah!

Oh my…

She’s just a friend
But I love her too much
My parents would have been very pleased to see her
Most girls would wanna be her
Liked the look of her boat
Faster than an elegant quote
Doesn’t clean or sink or float
Well oh yeaah!
Swan of the Avon
Piper at the Gates of dumb (Norfolk) Broads
There could be flood warnings for millions of hordes and
She’ll always look after 
The cygnet committed to
Equality, Freedom, Freedom To Live
The love machine lumbers
Through all the hearts' chambers
Signet ring, heraldic crest and cuckoo’s nest
Always ran with the best
Curled up in the wardrobe
In a discarded vest
Playing the old tunes
And playing ‘em loud!
So why!
Why are you singing this song
Why have you all come along
Was she the only party in town?
Oh yeah!

So why!
Why are you singing this song
Why have you all come along
Was she the only party in town?
Well oh yeah!

Midisound https://soundcloud.com/sonido-reflexivo asked me if I'd be interested in collaborating with him. He shared the instrumental of this, saying he could hear the line, "Kiss Me Now". I found a unique Latin passion in the melody and the exotic rhythm was very inspiring to me which meant that the song felt as if it wrote itself, with the music dictating the mood. 
We are delighted to share this, hopefully the first of many collaborations with Soundcloud. Many thanks to Paco for this opportunity, for the inspiration and for his endless patience.

Image of 'The Kiss' by Auguste Rodin

I knew the game was up,
That I’d run out of luck.
No room for a make-up,
You see me as a schmuck.

I knew that this would never last,
That we were bound to crash and burn.
Our best days are in the past,
It's me you spurn.

I knew you played a killer hand,
Give me a moment to savour.
Now it’s all out of my command,
Then grant me this favour.

Kiss me now,
Before you rip the very heart out of me.
One last time,
Kiss me now.
Give me this one thing to remember you by.
Kiss me now.

Leave some positivity to make it all worthwhile,
I know only too well that we can’t reconcile.
	
Kiss me now,
Before you trample my heart into the floor.
One last time,
Kiss me now,
Then turn around and walk right out through that door.
Kiss me now. 

Dismiss me now,
I’ll wallow in self-pity and reminisce.
Miss me now?
I don’t think so, as I face the abyss.

I knew the game was up,
That I’d run out of luck.

Kiss me, then dismiss me, I don’t matter anymore.

Kiss me now,
Before you rip the very heart out of me.
One last time,
Kiss me now.
Give me this one thing to remember you by.

Kiss me now, 
Just kiss me now.

Kiss Me Now (Midisound/Mark J Bennett)

https://soundcloud.com/yaman-kaddoura say:That piece of music "child Ryan" is a symbol of all the children who died as a result of torture, wars, drowning, displacement, and violence, children who left in our hearts a sad and deep wound that can never be healed, I hope they are all in a better place, carrying out their innocent childhood away from the brutality of our world. Loui and I are very proud to dedicate this piece of music to them. Thank your for all your comments.
بعد 5 أيام من الحفر المتواصل، خرج الطفل المغربي ريان من البئر العميقة جثة هامدة،

 في خبر هز العالم وأحزنه.
كان الجميع يضع يديه على قلبه مع كل تطور في عملية حفر أملا في إخراج الطفل ريان (5 أعوام) حيا، لكن النهاية كانت مأساوية.
وبدأت القصة،  عندما كان الطفل ريان يلعب عند البئر العميقة في قرية تقع في إقليم شفشاون شمالي المغرب.
كم يشبه هذا الموقف لأطفال أخرين و لكن من يبدي الاهتمام كم اهتمت المغرب و العالم بريان 
ريان و اطفال العالم

After 5 days of continuous drilling, the Moroccan child Rayan came out of the deep well as a lifeless body, in the news that shook and saddened the world.


Everyone was putting his hands on his heart with every development in the digging process in the hope of getting the child Ryan (5 years) out alive, but the end was tragic.

The story began when the child Rayan was playing at the deep well in a village located in the Chefchaouen region in northern Morocco.
How similar is this situation to other children, but who is interested in how much Morocco and the world care about Brian
Ryan and the children of the world

look into the light written and produced by Jim Manser feb 2022

Sometimes songs i write seem to come out of thin air its almost like i dont have to think about writing them they just come ..this is one of them and its kinda got a spiritual theme about looking at the great beyond .recalling your life your birth and your death all part of your existence ..seek the light dont fear it ..embrace it when it comes

Look Into The Light [watch the music video on youtube]

Dug this out one from the archives...I didn't want to change the lyrics so here its is...Enjoy fam!

Lyrics:
Digging through the archives —-found another nasty one 
on top of life but always repping underground —-each path I’ve taken
I beat it like a drum—-minimizing mistakes —-so please don’t get me wrong

I’mer smoke this one in ——Look for fire smell the smoke----

Strategies and game plan—-easy——self promote 
Yo ——-you know I ain’t playing—-and I ain’t no fucking joke
Ain’t no second guessing ——this ones straight up dope 
Going right to your brain ——like you snort an once of coke
And I’m ain’t —-insane—-        just —-never lost hope
Sound the same—never—-putting —- in the work
Now Take a step back ——or you gonna get soaked
This is how I train—watch the rest of them choke

first class tickets ———window seat
Balance sheet ——says travel Easy-street
Birdies tweeting —-of my enemies —-defeat
A ghost in the shadows—-
Back it up as I speak
Still elite——-noncompete
Don’t bring no static—-just bring the fucking heat
A wolf amongst sheep
No bark——- just teeth——
Cutting through—my haters and I’m going bone deep 

Sweet to engage———start a new chapter
Turning every page—-
Hitting with full—-rage—-Smoke turns— to—blaze
Every verse is on fire
Amaze when I start———--I can go for days
Bouncing off the beat ——like a pinball in a maze
Patterns established—-yeah—-I’m worthy of praise 
And my hater’s ——keep avoiding ——-this razor sharp gaze

Massive thanks to Fady for reaching out with this incredibly produced track for me to add vocals to. Fady's music was instantly inspiring and the song basically just wrote itself. And big ups to Bitzone for lending his ear and sonic artistry to mix and master this track into vivid color.

Lyrics:

Time trials 
And I’m still miles 
Away Off course 
Of course I’m Falling off 
The track and This time 
I ain’t coming back 

Always
Starting in last
Place
All days
Speedily passed
I race 
To catch up but I can’t keep pace
I chase 
A taste of what it’s like to get a head
Instead
Led off course by centrifugal force
Falling off the edge
Again it’s got me feeling 
Better off 
Dead
When reeling
From being made to 
Head
Back on track
From the invisible hand 
Never giving me slack
As the power ups stack
Bullet bills speed boosting up to the pack  
Yet still producing the deducing  
16th place I can’t crack 
 
Time trials 
And I’m still miles 
Away Off course 
Of course I’m Falling off 
The track and This time 
I ain’t coming back 

Never
Finishing in first 
Or third 
However 
Quickly I burst
Or swerved 
Past peels or fake item 
Box a hazards  
Still out maneuvered and 
Staggered 
Disoriented wheels don’t 
Matter 
When I 
Can’t get a
Grip
As the
Realization 
Of the final lap
Lets the cup 
Slip 
From hopes 
Final dash 
I crash 
Afraid to hit the gas
Hidden shortcuts and cheat codes 
Not given 
Even if I was to play the villain 
Driven 
There’s no opportunity to surpass 
When my previous finishing position 
Was coming in 
Last 

Time trials 
And I’m still miles 
Away Off course 
Of course I’m Falling off 
The track and This time 
I ain’t coming back 

13th place
Thought I was in the chase  
14th place
Slippin’ but thinking keepin’ pace 
15th place 
And still got one in the rear view mirror 
16th place 
Wasn’t a fall from grace is getting clearer

13th Place

WAY OKAY

There is good and evil in each of us. We see this every day, looking inside ourselves, into our heart, into our soul, into our inner mirrors. Sometimes we see good there, but sometimes evil.  I want to dedicate this track to all the good people who gave their lives in this eternal war. In a sense, this track is a requiem for the passing World, as I knew it.

＊This work was made by overdubbing my guitar performance to Ray's work "Excuse Me".Thank you Ray for accepting my request.
------------------------------
Ray ---- Excuse Me
https://soundcloud.com/in-the-mood-for-music/excuse-me
------------------------------
＊Below is from Ray's original description.

ーーA slow and melancholic song, hope you like it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82n6jeKPRo0
Facts about this Track:
Idea, Arrangment, Audio-Editing and Midi-Programming, Guitar playing, Mixing and Mastering by Ray
Vocals: Audio-Samplesーー

------------------------------
＊By the way, it's Ray, not me, who makes the chord backing that takes the rhythm with the wah pedal, the thick chord stroke with the flanger, and the pick scratch that rubs the wound strings with the pick.  Please listen to Ray's work and check it out.  From the beginning, Ray brought a sound that wasn't normally "suitable" for this piece.  The charm of this free and open work is exactly what Ray created.
------------------------------
Over the last few months, we have been exposed to a lot of media coverage. A man who lived and worked with his family in Poland returned to his hometown of Lviv with his family. "I can't stand to see the destroyed city anymore. I want to regain the beautiful Ukraine," he said. "It's a beautiful country, Ukraine," said one woman proudly. She said, "It has been destroyed and polluted, but we will definitely regain beautiful Ukraine."

When the Ukrainian people talk about "Ukraine, a beautiful country", there is a vast sky and land. As I watch the news of the tragedy, I find that we are more encouraged by the strength of the people who are ready to rebuild the country.

Initially, I was planning to work on another work by Ray, but when I listened to this song again, I noticed that "the sky" appeared in the refrain part. I know the lyrics of this piece deal with a different theme, but as I hummed the refrain, I felt that it could be a "fighting song" for me to move forward with the Ukrainian people. .. The target of support is the Ukrainian people, and I myself. I secretly thought that I wanted to make it one of the "cheer songs" for everyone, who are struck by this unreasonable invasion. And I decided to put my guitar on this song.

------------------------------
In addition, "Lillithe / Paploviante", including the sound source that Ray seems to have used in this work, should be called our great pioneer in that field as well. They have produced a huge collection of works using Vocals' Audio-Samples as the theme. At that time, I would like to note that they are experts who have mastered the source and lyrics of Samples by clearly stating them each time. The creators who inherit the method will be able to learn from the various usages of Samples to the usage rules by keeping in mind the reference of the works they have accumulated. It will be a great ally for each successor as they open up the future beyond SoundCloud.

Their enormous collection of works teaches us a lot. I would like to express my deep gratitude to them again for that.

Olvida tu vida   /   Forget your life
que ahora es desierto.   /   which is now a desert.

Tus raíces de sangre se han perdido,   /   Your blood roots are lost
y tu exótico mundo ha envejecido.   /   and your exotic world has got old.
La llamada de la selva ha convertido:   /   The call of the jungle has turned:

tus batallas en guerras,   /   your battles to wars,
y tus bosques en hambre,   /   and your forests to hunger,
y tus hombres en tierra.   /   and your men to soil.

África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...
tus cantos lejanos...   /   your distant singings...

ahora están muertos...   /   are dead now...
ahora están muertos.   /   are dead now.

https://soundcloud.com/temple-of-the-haunted-man/sets/keep-the-streets-empty-for-me
speech by Charlie Chaplin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Dictator)

I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor.
That's not my business.
I don't want to rule or conquer anyone.
I should like to help everyone if possible.
Jew - Gentile - Black Man, White.
We all want to help one another, human beings are like that.
We want to live by each other's happiness.
Not by each other's misery.
We don't want to hate and despise one another.
And this world has room for everyone, and the good Earth is rich can provide for everyone.
The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.
Greed has posioned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.
We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.
Machinery that gives us abundance has left us in want.
Our knowledge has made us cynincal.
Our cleverness, hard and unkind.
We think too much, and feel too little.
More than machinery, we need humanity.
More that cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
Without these qualities life will be violent, and all will be lost.
The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together.
The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all.
Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.
To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair.
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people.
And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. ...
Soldiers!
don't give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel!
Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder.
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts!
You are not machines!
You are not cattle!
You are men!
You have the love of humanity in your hearts!
You don't hate!
Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural!
Soldiers!
Don't fight for slavery!
Fight for liberty!
In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: "the Kingdom of God is within man" - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men!
In you!
You, the people have the power - the power to create machines.
The power to create happiness!
You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.
Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite.
Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security.
By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power.
But they lie!
They do not fulfil that promise.
They never will!
Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people!
Now let us fight to fulfil that promise!
Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance.
Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness.
Soldiers!
in the name of democracy, let us all unite

Nowhere And Everywhere (speech by Charlie Chaplin)

This must be from the 70s. Copy of a song written by Shane Love Appling.

Something a bit more jazzy and optimistic. Hopefully everything will get easier.

I'm clearly a bit obsessed with G Orwell's 1984! In the book, the UK is called Airstrip One. Also, in real life, the US military sees the UK as their very own giant, unsinkable aircraft carrier!

Airstrip One

I spent two years making Punto Ártica album as a whole, and I mostly played my mom’s Spanish guitar in the spare time. This theme and chords got shape with time, without any plan, in some different variations I’ve tried to remember and craft here.

Even a 7/4 vocal section had come up. In the spirit of this new profile, I asked Codi (https://soundcloud.com/noisealter) to adapt my translation of a poem I wrote when my age was about 1/3 than now (see below), and he also sung it with the passion and delivery I was looking for !!

Original poem  /  First translation:

FEBRERO  /  FEBRUARY

Efe de frío, Febrero,  /  ‘F’ for Freeze, February,
tiempo de ocio y ventura  /  leisure and venture time.
Sueño, guitarra, lectura,  /  Sleep, guitar, reading,
paso intermedio.  /  intermediate step.

Tiempo de amigos y risas  /  Time for friends and laughter,
de descanso e ilusión  /  of rest and illusion
de esperanza y ocasión,  /  of hope and opportunity,
muere la prisa.  /  the rush dies.

Febrero de nacimiento,  /  February of birth,
pausa para el estudiante.  /  pause for the student.
Los problemas van delante,  /  The problems go ahead,
estoy contento.  /  I’m happy.
