Redemption

Come Along for the Ride part 2 (1999)

I, I don't need a sign
To protest what you're doing
To protest what you're doing
Is that alright? I'm not your kind
Cause' I, I don't follow blind
The faith in what you're leading
The faith in what you're leading
It has died, crucified, oh...
-------------------------------------------------------
Enter nothingness, throw it all away
Face of emptiness, need some regime change
So complacent with all the thoughts you keep
In too deep with this self indulging way
-------------------------------------------------------
Hide from all your lies
It's bullshit what you're saying
It's bullshit what you're saying
in my eyes you're not right
Mirror your disguise, breaking glass today
All along this time, you've been in my way
-------------------------------------------------------
Enter nothingness, throw it all away
Face of emptiness, need some regime change
So complacent with all the thoughts you keep
In too deep with this self indulging way

PROTEST

saw you stumble along on an empty field
jumping over all the black holes of pandemic fears
filled with the collateral damage
no empty gaps
it’s not easy to find a direction
when the world turns mad
when the whole world turns mad

don’t give yourself away
sunchild
don’t surrender to these days
sunchild

the moment you see the horizon it starts to slip away
get your head up into the stars to light your way
saw you stumble along on an empty field
chased by pandemic rabbits
but you were better in hitting the hook
so it seems

don’t give yourself away
sunchild
don’t surrender to these days
sunchild

Good afternoon my SC friends. This year, I thought it might be fun to share some of the brain rebooting information I’ve discovered over the years that helped me navigate life a little easier. So if you like the idea of following along with these liner notes, you’ll want to watch this video first (about 1 minute... Selective Attention Test video: https://youtu.be/vJG698U2Mvo), before you continue reading down. It’s quite challenging to get the count right, but the results are utterly fascinating. :)

*waits patiently*

Welcome back. So, if you haven’t already seen it before, you just watched a video that brilliantly demonstrates our limited capacity as observers. I admit, I was so busy counting the passing ball… I totally missed the gorilla. Most of my family missed it as well. And according to the creators of the video, at least 50% of the audience will. That’s mind blowing.

So what does that say about our perceptions? It seems to suggest we’re not as aware as we think we are. And that is a lovely thought, because it means we don’t have to be so hard on ourselves when we misperceive things. We are literally incapable of taking it all in, and therefore we don’t always have the full picture (or even the same picture as our fellow traveller).

And that just demonstrates the limits of our mental awareness. Now consider our senses for a moment… how our hearing range is limited to a range of 20Hz to 20kHz. Think about how our vision doesn’t go below the ultraviolet or above the infrared. And I know I can’t smell things to the excellent degree my family’s pets can. 

The one that really blows my mind is that we aren’t ever physically touching anything. There is always an atomic amount of space between all objects. So when I sit down in a chair, what’s really happening is the molecular particles that collectively agreed to make up my butt are interacting with the molecular particles that collectively agreed to make up that chair; and the signals are all just electrical stimuli to my brain. I believe I can feel the smoothness of the polished woodgrain… but it isn’t a full or accurate story.

So now we have an idea of the limitations of our five senses. Add to that how we are limited to those five senses in the first place (unless some of you have physically developed sonar like a bat or have the ability to create an external multi-member neural network like fungi do underground), and you start to have a better idea just how much of the picture we are missing. 

So in a nutshell, we simply don’t have the full picture; and that can be a very liberating realization. That idea gave me the wisdom I needed to release my stranglehold on being a perfectionist… just a little bit. If I’m constantly missing things I don’t even know I’m missing, perfection isn’t even an option. I can also take these ideas out into the world with me, and realize we really don’t perceive things as similarly as we think we do. We are constantly being influenced by everything from our senses and mental awareness to cognitive dissonance and the bias of preference. We are each having different experiences, and that underlying realization is a great place to start, if change be the thing we desire. :)

So if you found this write-up interesting, you might enjoy ‘The Invisible Gorilla, And Other Ways Our Intuitions Deceive Us’ by Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons. It’s a thought provoking read. 

I’ll share other inspirational books and TV shows in future song notes. In the meantime, I hope you enjoyed my latest sonic adventure, ‘Develop Mental’ (especially all the little details I added in the 21kHz+ range, as well as the ‘scratch and sniff for dogs’ elements). :)

Come back soon(Lyrics)
making a smile for you
you’re down to cry but its true
you’re down to fly so you flew
right through, through

baby its mine but you’re cool
your love is my kind of jewel
what do you take me, a fool
do you

taking this my type of way
to hear what youre tryna say
that i dont care for this place
this place, place

come on lets sit by the shore
I’ve never felt this before
us as a team I endorse
do you do you

baby you’re my kind of cool
you fire me like I’m your fuel
what do you take me a tool
do you do you

and while I sit by the stairs
my mind it races, light years
does your heart need some repairs
do you do you

and while the waves rush over
I’ll take your hand and show ya
the life I love is over
over over

and then it’s time to say bye
you take my hand and I cry
you’ll make it back in a while
come back soon

Come back soon- ft.Rosie

Look around , they are out there, a little song about Non Player Characters
Lyrics:-
In This simulation
Our stimulation
Is trying to get outside
Our one motivation
Visualization
Of a world with us in mind

You and me
Are not an N.P.C.
'Cause we've got 
Everything we need inside
We can reach
That 5D
You and me
And in our hearts agree
There's more to find

We know about the system
We're building up our wisdom
So we can win this fight
This ain't just a theory
And yes we'll get weary
But the battle is on all-right

You and me
Are not an N.P.C.
'Cause we've got 
Everything we need inside
We can reach
That 5D
You and me
And in our hearts agree
There's more to find

Beyond the Shadows

Daze of night
Melts away
Dismal light
Starts the day

Long and stark
Time stands still
Frozen days
Beyond my will

And if I only can imagine
How would it feel again to hold you in my arms
And maybe I forget the future
And drift away so far above the trees
Beyond the shadows...

_______________________________________________________________________

Born in Belarus in 86 yeah
Worked in construction back on the farm then
Dressed as a bishop she did deals in St Peters now she
Drives a Bugatti through the streets of Lausanne

It's not the money that's what she said
Don't want to end up with a hole in the head
We'll rule the world with the power of love
Oh do you think so coz
I don’t think so

We took an Uber to the conference centre she said
They’ll act like animals to get what they want
Blood on the dance floor but you get what you pay for when you
Hang with the cool kids at the policy disco

It's not the money that's what they said
No one looks good with a hole in the head
We'll rule the world with the power of love
Oh do you think so

I can't stay in bed for ever
My real life will never start
Complications don't want to know
Happy ending I don't think so

Hybrid warfare
Grand synthesis
Do the practice
Get dog biscuits
Keep it simple
Keep it stupid
Makes us feel good
We’re gonna use it

It's Not The Money (Wheelwright)(Fictive Sisters)

This song started as an idea David and I came up with to do an afrobeat song together.  So David came up with this banger of a bass line and drums track and sent it to me. I added some guitars, electric piano, and organ. I then excitedly sent it to Mikey to add the sax, which I consider to be a key element of afrobeat music, and which he always does so well. David's version is much more drum and bass heavy. Please have a listen to both so you can hear how they both sound. I really had a good time making this song. David produced and mixed both versions, and what a fun thing it is to hear my instruments integrated into an elrctronica song by such able hands.

Under the Baobab Tree (with David K. A. Spencer and Mikey McFaffington)

Go With The Flow

Art work by Majali Design

Light the sea 

When the night surprises me
that I am not sleepy alone 
then I defy time 
I implore the return of the sun 
and I think of the one who is missing 
that gives me wings

when the wind tells me
what it sees from the sky
these hatreds as old as the world 
that flow like rivers of shame
so I look at the one that counts 
and it gives me wings 

when my soul is adrift
I sail on a drunken boat
she is my lighthouse I rely on her
to light the sea, to show me the sky 

when life torments me
when questions fly in the air
when words lose their meaning
when expectations remain vain
then I look at the one I love 
so that she opens her wings to me

when my soul is lost and capsizes
when in the distance I can no longer see the shore 
she is my lighthouse I rely on her
to light the sea, to show me the sky

Eclairer La Mer (translated lyrics)

***EN FRANCAIS PLUS BAS*** (Original song, mix, mastering, vocals and lyrics by KidOfEarth) ⚠️ © (Copyright France) I did this for fun and this track is above all a test on the voice  because I like the blues! After 5 whisky, 50 cigarettes, 10 coffes, a few amphetamines, 2 bars of 100% cocoa dark chocolate and 200 takes to work on my voice here is the result...

TOPIC
About thirty years ago, I lived on a boulevard with incessant and very noisy road traffic. This artery was used dozens of times by emergency vehicles going to the emergency room near my home. And to top it off, the rooms of the apartment I rented were adjoining the delivery dock of a supermarket. Hell!
My next door neighbors were an elderly couple who had lived there forever. When I asked them if the noise didn't bother them, they both replied "Ah but not at all! We're used to it and we couldn't live without it, that reassures us!"
You will therefore have understood that this burlesque blues is for them who would certainly not have supported living in the countryside.
Raph aka KOE ✌️😎

Lyrics
"The nature it gives me the glands"
when I'm tripping around the boulevards
I watch the racing cars backfire
it puts a little animation
I like the ron-ron of the traffic jams.
The nature it gives me the glands
I'm bored, I want to hang myself
if there are no bars and easy girls
I'm like a chick in its omelet...
I dream of a nice apartment
in the middle of a crossroads
to enjoy the charming sound
sirens, that's velvet.
The songs of the piafs every morning
it wakes me up early and I'm not well
the rooster that brays in the barnyard
It's making me nervous, I'm counting down...
"hey Polo! Open the window! It is not well?
eh! Polo!?..."
*******************************
(Original song, mastering, vocals and lyrics by KidOfEarth)

Cette piste est avant tout un test sur la voix car j'aime le blues!
Après 5 whiskys, 50 clopes, 10 cafés, quelques amphétamines, 2 tablettes de chocolat noir 100% cacao et 200 prises pour travailler ma voix, voici le résultat...

TOPIC
Il y a plus de trente ans, j'ai habité sur un boulevard au trafic routier incessant et très bruyant. Cette artère était empruntée des dizaines de fois par les véhicules de secours qui se rendaient aux urgences près de chez moi. Et pour combler le tout, les chambres de l'appartement que je louais étaient mitoyennes avec le quai de livraison d'un supermarché. L'enfer!
Mes voisins de palier étaient un couple de personnes âgées qui vivait là depuis toujours. Quand je leur est demandé si le bruit ne les dérangeait pas, ils m'ont répondu tous les deux "Ah mais pas du tout! On a l'habitude et on ne pourrait plus s'en passer, ça nous rassure!"
Vous aurez donc compris que ce blues burlesque est pour eux qui n'auraient certainement pas supporté de vivre à la campagne.
Raph alias KOE ✌️😎

"La nature ça m'fout les glandes"
Quand j'me trimballe sur les boulevards
je mate les bolides qui pétaradent
ça met un peu d'animation
moi j'aime le ron-ron des bouchons.
La nature ça me fout les glandes
je m'emmerde, j'ai envie de me pendre
si il n'y a pas des bars et des minettes
Je suis comme un oeuf dans une omelette...
Moi je rêve d'un bel appartement
au beau milieu d'un carrefour
pour apprécier le son charmant
des sirènes, ça c'est du velours.
Le chant des piafs tous les matins
ça me réveille tôt et je suis pas bien
le coq qui braille dans la basse-cour
ça me rend nerveux, je fais le compte à rebours...
"hé Polo! Ouvre la fenêtre! On est pas bien là?
hein! Polo!?..."

May I be able to make a normal song to all tastes? This rock ballad was my best opportunity, though I had to prog it a bit... well, please tell me.

Pic taken by myself at a beach near my hometown, a cloudy morning about two weeks ago.

Letra  /  Lyrics

El sol está quieto (…)  /  The Sun is still (…)

Hace mucho tiempo que el sol está quieto.  /  Since a long time ago the Sun is still.
Lo quieto del sol da lugar al invierno.  /  Stillness of the Sun originates the winter.
Invierno que expresa su frío con viento.  /  Winter which expresses its coldness with wind.
El viento en la playa moja mi cuerpo.  /  The wind at the beach wets my body.

Mi cuerpo mojado sufre en silencio.  /  My wet body suffers silently.
Silencio que siempre me trae recuerdos.  /  Silence which always brings me memories.
Recuerdos que se agrupan en pensamientos.  /  Memories which get grouped in thoughts.
Pensamientos que pronto parecen deseos.  /  Thoughts which soon seem to be desires.

Deseos que te tienen a ti en el centro.  /  Desires which have you in the middle.
Tú en el centro pero yo más lejos.  /  You in the middle but me further away.
Lejos de todo lo que llamamos nuestro.  /  Far from everything we call ours.
Nuestro pasado es ahora lo primero.  /  Our past is now the first thing.

Primero de todo te echaré de menos.  /  First of all I will miss you.
Menos de un día ya se me hace eterno.  /  Less than one day already feels eternal to me.
Eterno fue el día en que decidí no vernos, más.  /  Eternal was the day when I decided not to meet, more.
Mas, vernos me hace salir de este infierno.  /  But, us meeting helps me get rid of this hell.

Infierno que pronto cambiaré por el cielo.  /  Hell which soon I will change for heaven.
Cielo que sólo tú puedes tenerlo.  /  Heaven which only you can own.
Tenerlo contigo es lo que más quiero.  /  To own it with you is what I want the most.
Quiero estar contigo en alma y cuerpo.  /  I want to be with you in soul and body.

Mi cuerpo mojado, en la playa hace viento.  /  My wet body, at the beach it is windy.
Viento que expresa el frío del invierno.  /  Wind which expresses the coldness of the winter.
Invierno debido a que el sol está quieto.  /  Winter due to the Sun being still.
El sol está quieto hace mucho tiempo.  /  The Sun is still since a long time ago.

El sol está quieto (...)

Songster version was a little ‘copla’ about not being able to be with, nor without, a loved person.  As usual, I’ve ‘upgraded’ it, process from which you only get the final result, normally. 

But, following lyrics’ contradictions, I not only serve parts with different levels of (dis)order in heavy rock - flamenco sauce, but raw vs very cooked parts as well, starting with the improvised phone recording of the very first idea I had to develop the song, so please excuse my failures and noises.

Letra  /  Translated lyrics:

Te veo venir (No te vuelvas a ir)  /  I know where you're coming from (Don’t you leave again)

Te veo venir,                                                 /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando vienes con esa carita de pena,        /  when you come with that sweet sad face,
te veo venir,                                                  /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando vienes llorando sin que te duela,     /  when you come crying without any pain,

te veo venir (x3)                                            /  I know where you're coming from, (x3)

Te veo venir,                                                 /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando dices que quieres hablar conmigo,  /  when you say that you want to talk to me,
te veo venir,                                                  /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando quieres estar al lado mío,                /  when you want to be by my side,

te veo venir (x3)                                           /  I know where you're coming from, (x3)

Te veo venir,                                                 /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando vienes con esa carita de pilla,          /  when you come with that sweet sly face,
te veo venir,                                                  /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando vienes con esa sonrisa, chiquilla,    /  when you come with that smile, little girl,

te veo venir (x3)                                            /  I know where you're coming from, (x3)

Te veo venir (No te vuelvas a ir)

Little to say about this song; both lyrics and music (all organic but for programmed drums) were done very impulsively, so it may show my primal inspiration without reworks or additions. Hope you'll enjoy it!

Translated Lyrics:

YO PENSÉ (LA SEXTA VEZ) / I THOUGHT (THE SIXTH TIME)

Yo pensé: esa mujer no es peligrosa…
  (I thought: that woman is not dangerous …)
No esperé enamorarme como un idiota.
  (I did not expect to fall in love like an idiot.)
Me pregunté: ¿qué tiene en los ojos que tanto me tienta?
  (I wondered: what’s in her eyes which tempts me so much?)
y me acerqué para hablar con ella y verlos de cerca.
  (And I got closer to speak with her and watch them closely.)

Y si era la primera vez, ¿por qué no extrañaba hacerlo con ella?
  (And if it was the first time, why didn’t I feel strange doing it with her?)
Y si era la primera vez, ¿por qué parecía que era la sexta?
  (And if it was the first time, why did it seem to be the sixth one?)
Y si era la sexta vez, ¿por qué hubo preguntas después de la escena?
  (And if it was the sixth time, why were there questions after the scene?)

Y si fue la única vez, ¿por qué no puedo apartarla de mi cabeza?
  (And if it was the unique time, why cannot I take her out of my head?)
