Late at night with nothing but my thoughts and emotions. 

Conflict

I’m happy to post this song with help from my first SC friend https://soundcloud.com/espere-verde, who encouraged me on to improve my music making from a very start. Good musician & draughtsman (he did this artwork too), his vocal performance here gave the mood I couldn’t to the song.

Technical highlights:
>Most vocals: Espere Verde
>Music & almost no vocals: Ruizzoidman
>Odd patterns hidden along three levels in this track: amalgamated psycho-hard coating, usual 7/2 in punk/ska intermediate parts, and finally the sweater core is structured in groups of five measures.

Lyrics: strangely, I wrote about these stressing things when I was 21 and supposedly happy; I'd say similarly today I'm twice as old...

SIN MUJERES NI TABACO, SIN PRISAS  /  WITHOUT WOMEN OR TOBACCO, WITHOUT HURRIES
  
Todo lo que odio me ayuda a vivir,  /  Everything I hate helps me to live,
lo que me pone enfermo me empuja a seguir.  /  what gets me ill pushes me on.
Todo aquello que quiero dejar de sentir  /  Everything I want to stop feeling
es lo que da sentido a mi vivir.  /  is what gives sense to my life.
  
No puedo vivir sin mujeres,  /  I cannot live without women,
ni tabaco, sin prisas,  /  or tobacco, without hurries,
no puedo vivir.  /  I cannot live.
  
Mi ración horaria de tabaco  /  My hourly ration of tobacco
me mata por dentro.  /  kills me from inside.
Mi ración horaria de tabaco  /  My hourly ration of tobacco
me ayuda a vivir.  /  helps me to live.
Mi ración diaria de prisas  /  My daily ration of hurries
me saca los nervios.  /  gets me on my nerves.
Mi ración diaria de prisas  /  My daily ration of hurries
me empuja a seguir.  /  pushes me to continue.
  
Mi ración … de mujeres  /  My … ration of women 
me hace sufrir.  /  makes me suffer.
Mi ración … de mujeres  /  My … ration of women 
me ayuda a vivir.  /  helps me to live.

Between the Lines [REMIX]   Chiefo x Ricø

That's my friend, that's the one I love
I'll never see them again
Out of mind, and in time, fear seeps through
it's a funny thing, spirits fallen down the avenue,
lost my friends, lost the one I love

Shadows play with my mind, it's a funny thing
if I close my eyes long enough then I'm one of them
I could be like them any time

where the story is, I'm alone at the avenue's end
I hear the music from the streets and it's inviting

Avenue's End

Lyrics:
Once upon a time she was right there
(Nobody knows)
and her whole life was just sit and wait 
“I want to be free”, “I want to be me”
And she sang in a tower all alone
[CHORUS]
Wake, Wake up
you have all the power in your hands
and she got, and she got what she always deserved 
-
Many years ago, she broke her own chains
(A Brand-New Day) 
Lost and lonely against all she knew 
“I want to be free”,“I want to be me”,“I will be brave”
And she escape from the tower by herself
[CHORUS]
Wake, Wake up
you have all the power in your hands
and she got, and she got what she always deserved
-
[BRIDGE]
She changed her path searching for a new life
What will you do?
Wait 
[CHORUS]
wake up
realizing her own power
and she got, and she got all that she always deserved   
Wait for me I’m coming
Everything looks beautiful through a castle window…

The Tower (Feat. Aida Deturck)

Shadows are with the light

Once settled in Artica Point, almost frozen, I watch the world happening fast, and I tell you about by singing five verses with different vocal styles, a main instrumental theme in progress all along, and some bits of the other songs in the album to keep it conceptual ;)

Letra  /  Translated Lyrics:

DESDE AQUÍ (HISTORIA CONTEMPORÁNEA)  /  FROM HERE (CONTEMPORARY HISTORY)

Ahora que estoy aquí congelado,  /  Now I’m frozen here,
observo el mundo por internet y radio.  /  I watch the world on internet and radio.
Todo sucede ahí abajo tan rápido,  /  Everything happens so fast down there,
que se aprecian claramente los cambios,  /  that changes are clearly appreciated,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Con mis constantes vitales al mínimo,  /  With my vital signs down to a minimum,
como viviendo una película,  /  like living in a movie,
soy capaz de comprender el mecanismo  /  I am able to understand the mechanism
de la evolución de nuestra civilización,  /  of the evolution of our civilization,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

El frío que congela mi cuerpo  /  The cold that freezes my body
… … no me permite llorar,  /  … … doesn’t allow me to cry,
pero mi corazón sigue caliente muy adentro, en algún lugar,  /  but my heart is still warm deep inside, somewhere,
y puedo al menos entristecerme por lo que veo al mirar  /  and I can at least feel sad about what I see when I look
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Ahora que lo comprendo todo  /  Now when I understand everything,
entiendo que todos somos iguales,  /  I realize we’re all the same,
que sentimos lo mismo aunque ninguno lo sabe.  /  and we feel the same although no one knows it.
Desde aquí me identifico con cada hombre,  /  From here I feel identified with every man,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Desde aquí me alegro de no estar ahí abajo.  /  From here I’m glad not being down there.
Esperaré a ver qué pasa dentro de cien años.  /  I’ll wait and see what happens a hundred years from now.
Mi cuerpo apenas será un poco más viejo,  /  My body will hardly be a little older,
pero sí cumpliré siglo y medio de sabiduría y tristeza,  /  but I will get a century and a half of wisdom and sadness,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Desde aquí (Historia Contemporánea)

What a great guy to work with. This is the second track, that I wrote, that Couch King worked and rapped on. Love his positive energy both in music and life. Thanks Marquis!
https://soundcloud.com/king-of-the-couch
 Here's a bit more information, for those who are curious.
I am by no means in the habit of explaining what I was trying to say in a piece of music. I generally think the views of an artist on their own work are often, at best, partial or wrong and, at worst, self-serving. It's be better to stick to answering questions if asked(not that for the most part people's interest in my music rises to the level that they do ;). I've started to rethink that position though, in light of my own interest in what the people I listen to are thinking, and in any case I probably owe my collaborator a fuller accounting. I'll start with my own relationship to hip-hop. I'm older than the form. Making it the only major form of music that that is true of. It was also born close, geologically and culturally, to where I'm from but not in my neighborhood so to speak. So to me it's like the kid from down the block, say, four years younger. Growing out of the same environment, ie. soul, funk, jazz, etc., but with a bit of a divide. That being it's original construction out of samples. It was an audio collage art form. This has over time changed of course, although the original form still exerts influence over the way it's played and constructed. I had none of this in my mind when I sent the original tracks to Marquis(Couch King) but when he sent back his first rough draft of his rap; a thought came together in my mind. His speedy delivery set against my languid backing track brought to mind a slightly self conscious dinner guest. A new friend over for the first time. Filling in details of his life, and how he thinks about it, through stories of his past. The first verse addressing his new friends on his background. Small talk if you will. As he gets more intense though he starts to really talk to, in his mind, his father and then an old lover. Not unusual in an interesting, thoughtful conversation, no? I'm taking the role of the host of course. Inviting the younger, but now mature, man from the old neighborhood to my home. It's a dinner party so there are other people there. Chirping in about drinking, smoking, Nietzsche, chasing girls and his date sighing about his story(the samples in order except the bell which I'd rather not explain, you've got to leave something, no?). The music changing as his stories effect the mood in the room. The host though shares nothing. Polite and reasonably warm but sphinx like and a bit haughty. Making interesting ambiguous comments and not explaining them.

JUPITER FALL

Jump out of the forehead

thanks thanks thanks thank you

blessings of love
light up your soul
it gets so heavy at times
though it weighs 
nothing at all 
you know its there
we’re bound together 
like flies on a spider web

its the gold that you got
its the name on your socks 
when dumb things
run things

its your name on a rock
you forget all about 
when fun things
run things.

blessings of peace
quiet your mind
it gets so busy at times
though it goes
nowhere at all
circles and squares
we’re bound to wonder
like cats on a window sill

Fun to work on our second EP. Here is a little demo track of a song that will likely be on the album! A song about the perks of sharing love, hope and misunderstanding with someone. Thanks for listening, let us know what you think!

Concede Defeat

Pierre Bordetti productions (c) 01/2020.

first of all, i would like to wish you all a happy new year 2020, that
it brings you happiness and health.
As far as I'm concerned, I want to start it optimistically despite the
tragic events we are going through at the start of the year.
My first song of the year is there fore resolutely optimistic.

Tout d'abord, je voudrais vous souhaiter à tous une excellente année
2020, qu'elle vous apporte bonheur et santé.
En ce qui me concerne je veux la commencer de manière optimiste malgré les événements tragiques que nous traversons en ce début d'année.
Ma première chanson de l'année est donc résolument optimiste.
****** OptiMystic *****
I would like to tell you sometimes,
everything i feel sometimes,
All the dreams that cross my mind,
all these suns that light up my life,

get up my friend,
get up my friend,
stay,
stay optimystic,
stay,
stay optimystic,
get up my friend,

Always go towards the light,
get away from approach of the night,

get up my friend,
get up my friend,
stay,
stay optimystic,
stay,
stay optimystic,
get up my friend..

music, mix/master: Echo Garage

I wrote this song (the instrumental) bearing Dusbo singing in mind, and I'm very, very happy that he joined this project and put so much heart and soul in this song. thanks bro!

lyrics:
All night I was waiting
Waiting for you eyes
And I thought I was dreaming
I could feel you in my cries
For so long I been waitin
To meet your lonely touch
But I just keep on walkin
My soul was never enough

Too long I’ve been breathing
Too long I’ve been alive
I can feel I’m fading
No color in my eyes

Dancing with the devil,
Shades in the night
By the fire I’ll be waiting
By the fire I will die
For to long I’ve been wondering
Why the colors black and white
For too long I’ve been breathing
To long I’ve being alive

I can’t stop breathing
I can’t stop waking up

For too long I’ve been breathing
For too long I’ve been alive
And I can feel I’m fading
No colors in my eyes

I’ll just keep on wandering
Waitin for your hand
And I’ll just keep on walkin
Into the water from the sand

Dusboblaze and Echo Garage - Too Long

Thanks yet again to Amanda for breathing life into this song!   Please listen to her other great tracks on @phoebeelena.

Darling
You don't know
how I feel

I've been 
looking lately
for a love that is real

Been down in the firing line
Fell for the one without a spine
Been down in the firing line again

Don't say 
that you care
if you don't 
For I've been 
looking lately
for the door

Been down and beyond help
You claim a bleeding heart
But stone don't melt
Been down and beyond help again

Been lost for the last time
Fell down at the finish line
Been lost for the longest time again

Darling
You don't know
how to feel...

LYRICS:-
Can't say when friendship began
Or when indifference took it over
We had the funniest thing
And tried so hard to keep it going

Did we have fun? Those comfortable silences ; was that all ?
Then the long months, we didn't see each other, no more calls

You're not welcome no more
'Cause to me you're just a stranger
You don't know me no more
'Cause to you I'm just a stranger

They say that friends come and go
And to err is to be human
It's just a matter for fate
There's just no room here for tomorrows

Instead of waiting , I filled my time creatively (for me)
So it's goodbye , the past is in the past and C'est La Vie !

You're not welcome no more
'Cause to me  you're just a stranger
You don't know me no more
'Cause to you I'm just a stranger

And here we are, with joy and feeling honored, having the talented Irina @irina-951237464 sing and write with me this brand new Original. Our third duet here on SoundCloud. A pleasure to compose this Latin & Jazz, flamenco infused song with Irina's tremendous voice and artistry in mind.

Lyrics:

All alone again
What are you trying to prove
Make your move

Time to part
Let go, my heart
Who are you trying to fool
Play it cool

Off you go
Friend or foe
What are you trying to be
I set you free

We had our days
Happy in so many ways
Right on key
Constantly

But all too soon
You found a different tune
As the music flows
Don't we all transpose
But all too soon
All too soon

— Guitar Solo—

Take my hand 
Again
Take me back to wonderland
Just once again

Don't know why
We say goodbye
Are we too proud to try
Just one more try

We had our days
Happy in so many ways
Right on key
Constantly

But all too soon
You found a different tune
As the music flows
Don't we all transpose
But all too soon
All too soon

Roots told me about this dude that smoked a joint in court in front of a judge.  He loved that. When Mr. Dubman gets inspired, I get inspired!!

SPENCER ALAN BOSTON IS A HERO, NOT BECAUSE HE SMOKED A JOINT IN COURT, IN FRONT OF A JUDGE, AND WAS IN COURT FOR POSSESSION OF THE DEVIL'S LETTUCE....NO, NO, NO, HE IS A HERO BECAUSE HE REPRESENTS WHAT MANY LACK. WHAT IS THAT TRAIT? WELL, BALLS...MANY PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THEM, LIFE IS SHORT, SAY IT, THAT THING YOU WANT TO SAY, DO IT, THAT THING YOU WANT TO DO, EAT IT, THAT THING YOU WANT TO EAT, THIS LIFE WE HAVE IS FLEETING, SO GO TO THAT SHOW, ASK OUT THAT GIRL, TAKE THAT TRIP, SMOKE THAT JOINT....MUCH LOVE

Texte français et Google traduction

QUI SERAS-TU MON ENFANT ?

Je caresse ton ventre, comme on caresse la vie.
Déjà son attente me semble infinie.
Tu te marques d’une rondeur
Qui serait indécente,
Si tu n’étais une jolie fleur
Ou une bien belle plante.

Je caresse l’espoir, comme on caresse la nuit,
La vigueur d’un soir chassée de l’ennui.
Tu me donnes la fièvre
De celle qu’on supporte.
Quand ce sont des beaux rêves
Qui frappent à la porte.

Qui seras-tu mon enfant ?
Un coquelicot des champs
Où une rose des vents ?
Viens nous vite on t’attend.
On manque d’impatience,
Ta vie est une chance.
Encore un petit mois
Et on te serre dans nos bras.

Je caresse ta lumière, comme on caresse le feu
Closes mes paupières, je te vois bien mieux.
Il me donne des coups
Et de pieds et de bras,
Dans ton ventre, il se joue
Et s’amuse déjà.

Je caresse mon désir, comme on caresse le jeu.
Des instants de plaisir qu’on ne fait qu’à deux.
Le temps paraît bien long
Comme une éternité,
Pour perdre un ventre rond
Dans une maternité.

Qui seras-tu mon enfant ?
Un coquelicot des champs
Où une rose des vents ?
Viens nous vite on t’attend.
On manque d’impatience,
Ta vie est une chance.
Encore un petit mois
Et on te serre dans nos bras.

CHORUS

Dernier refrain.

WHO WILL YOU BE MY CHILD?

I caress your belly, as you caress life.
Already his expectation seems infinite to me.
You show a roundness
Who would be indecent,
If you weren't a pretty flower
Or a very beautiful plant.

I caress hope, as we caress at night,
The vigor of an evening driven from boredom.
You give me fever
From the one we support.
When these are sweet dreams
Who knock on the door.

Who will you be my child?
A field poppy
Where a wind rose?
Come quickly, we are waiting for you.
We are impatient,
Your life is a chance.
Another little month
And we hug you.

I caress your light, like we caress the fire
Close my eyelids, I can see you much better.
He hits me
And feet and arms,
In your belly, it is played
And already having fun.

I caress my desire, as we caress the game.
Moments of pleasure that we only make for two.
Time seems very long
Like forever,
To lose a round stomach
In a maternity.

Who will you be my child?
A field poppy
Where a wind rose?
Come quickly, we are waiting for you.
We are impatient,
Your life is a chance.
Another little month
And we hug you.

CHORUS

Last refrain.

Thanks for all your generous support. You have helped us donate over $200 to the Organization for Autism Research (OAR) and counting! Help us reach our goal of donating $300 by either donating directly to OAR or purchasing the album on Bandcamp. 

“Twenty Twelve” is available on Bandcamp along with the original 5 instrumentals selected from Hot Os’ SoundCloud songbook. 

All profits from purchases will be donated to Organization for Autism Research. "The Organization for Autism Research (OAR) was created in December 2001 – the product of the shared vision and unique life experiences of OAR’s seven founders. Led by these parents and grandparents of children and adults on the autism spectrum, OAR set out to use applied science to answer questions that parents, families, individuals with autism, teachers and caregivers confront daily. (The OAR) is dedicated to improving the lives of everyone affected by autism by supporting research that produces meaningful and practical results. We also keep families, educators, self-advocates, and professionals informed by delivering free, evidence-based resources and information everyday." To learn more about the Organization for Autism Research, visit: https://researchautism.org

“Twenty Twelve” Sticker Set and Zine also available on Bandcamp. 

There are so many great musicians on SoundCloud, I wish I could make music with everyone of you. I often reflect on all the great music you have all made, how we are constantly making new songs (because that is what artist do), and how many of our great creations can easily get forgotten. Most of our songs don’t get a chance to live like those songs that get repeated on the radio. And while many of us probably don’t like mainstream radio, many of us would probably like our best songs to have a bigger life, or at least shine a little brighter and be remembered a little longer. As a way to breathe additional air into one of our community members older music, I selected 5 tracks from Hot Os discography and remixed them to make “Twenty Twelve”

Humongous thanks to Hot Os for letting me select and edit 5 prime beats as well as raid his Instagram account for Zine images. Massive thanks to Janine Levinson and Jay Walker Black for dropping those hot guest vocals. And a giant thanks to Caedmon Rigby for all his time and creative energy mixing and mastering “Twenty Twelve” to make it sound so original, so professional, so fresh, and so clean!!! I love working with you all! Part of what makes collaborating so worthwhile is spending creative time with your friends.
