Little bit Squirrly in the front end
She made a bluesy little glass-pack kinda growl
And if you look at her the wrong way
She'd be your ticket out of town

I got to stay one skipity step in front of you.
Got to stay out of town
I keep hopping from place to place 
I'm like scalded hound 

Lessons have been forgotten baby 
Lessons are at my door  
Lessons have been forgotten baby 
Lessons are scattered across my floor  

Lessons I Forgot  Conover/Hans-Michael Albers

A wordless vocal expression on the subject of men with high levels of testosterone using a keyboard and bass. I also have one called "The Woman Show" where a woman has been driven over the edge by too many telemarketer calls.

The Men Show-LisaBe

Loving bond

Darling, darling
Come no more
Heavy silence 
Pulls me low
Water fills my heart
Till death do us part

Whenever I built our dream
You tore it apart
I followed a gentle tide
You followed the darkest star

Deeper, deeper
Where I go
Drown your sorrow
Down below
Let go of your fears
Don’t hold back your tears

Whenever I built our dream
You tore it apart
I followed a gentle tide
You followed the darkest star

I'm currently working on a remix/rework of one of Bruce Klepper's compositions and when I asked him for the files, he mentioned he would like to add his magic to Kodiak. Bruce has created some amazing parts to this track. I'm always blown away by this wildly talented composer. @bruce-klepper-1

All For Nothing (Collaboration with Paploviante)

Welcome to my world! It's my first original song. It's called 'Note di Notte'. It's in italian language and was written (music and lyrics) by the italian musician/producer/songwriter Roberto Savelli, who boasts, among the others, collaborations with great personalities of italian and international music. It was an honor for me, and it allowed me to explore new musical fields and sounds such as, for example, 'funk'. I hope you'll enjoy it and don't forget to like, share and comment. Thx so much ...

THE HONEYMOON IS OVER (I Want To Break Your Universe In Two)

Written by Terry Reeves

Watching my brother Bri living out the last few months of his life was probably the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to do.  We had been told that there was no cure for his illness and that, at some point, the inevitable would happen.  But right up until the final few days, he refused to accept this, believing that, somewhere out there, there was some magical remedy he would find to take it all away.  He consulted with so many ‘alternative’ therapists, who all promised their brand of snake oil would deliver him from all that ailed him.  These were always both expensive and totally useless.  

A few weeks before he died, I was sitting by his hospital bed when he actually asked me, “Do You Believe In Magic?”  Knowing what I knew, what possible answer could I give?  Bri already knew the answer too but, all the same, I wished I could have given a convincing and unequivocal ‘yes’.  Difficult though it undoubtedly was, I had to reply that I didn’t but wanting to support him as best I could, told him I believed in him and would always love him 

There is nothing worse than watching someone in their final moments, particularly when they have been such an essential part of your life.  As you get older, facing this scenario becomes unavoidable and though age provides a better understanding of the fact, it never reduces the pain.  Both Gal and I faced similar bedside questions from Bri and this song tries to reflect those onerous, interminable times when one has to be both supportive and honest all at the same time.   

What can you say about Hans that hasn’t already been said?  When I sent him the demo of this song I did wonder if the subject matter may prove difficult.  But his  incredible ability to manifest every emotional nuance in his arrangements is something that always inspires and impresses, as demonstrated so beautifully here.  (Terry Reeves)

Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in changing world?
Do you believe it's tragic?
Do you believe there's more to be told? 

Casting spells with waving hands
Praying thoughts with pagan strands
Making deals with Devil's soul
Sharing fears for spirit parole
No, no

Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in immortal thoughts?
Do you believe in metric?
Do you believe in nine times nought? 

Tribal dancing, releasing curse
Tantric thinking, avoid the worse
Watching stars for future needs
Not drinking tea but reading leaves
No, no

Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in sacrifice? 
Do you believe in panic?
Do you believe in rolling dice?

Chanting mantras one more day
Reiki heat takes pain away
Resurrection not in the plan
Wooden cross protect the man
No, no

Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in searching prayer?
Do you believe in medics?
Do you believe in going nowhere? 

Holding bible in folded arms
Writing words, performing psalms
Chasing shadows, finding light
Avoid the truth, increase the fight
(Repeat verse)

No, no

Do you believe in magic? (Repeat until end)

LYRICS
"How Wonderfulll is the Nature & all the living creatures
such Beautifull landscapes, arts & architectures
There is Treasures all over the Earth
and
Life could be so Beautifull
Life could be So Wonderfull
But So many act as a fool

Eyes they don't see, Ears they don't ears

Oh Why oh Why I don't know why

So much people they are go blind
they don't want see the light
prefering live with blinkers

So much People they are go deaf
they are little minded
don't want ear the truth & the right
they tell & believe so much lies

Life could be so Beautifull
Life could be So Wonderfull
But So many act as a fool

Heart they don't Love, Soul they don't Feel

Oh Why oh Why I don't know why

Some people seems so heartless
they think they are the best
just look their own interest
don't care about the rest

Some people seems so Souless
not living in the fullness
just living in the flesh

Life could be so Beautifull
Life could be So Wonderfull
But So many act as a fool

Oh Why oh Why I don't know why.....

How Wonderfulll is the Nature & all the living creatures
such Beautifull landscapes, arts & architectures
There is Treasures all over the Earth
and

Life could be so Beautifull
Life could be So Wonderfull"

POUSSÉE PAR LE VENT 
UN PIED L’AUTRE DEVANT 
AXÉE VERS LE LEVANT 
TOURNÉE VERS LE PRÉSENT

MARCHER DANS LA FORÊT
LE CHIEN AUX ABOIS ET LA BICHE AUX ARRÊTS 
PLEURER SON MINARET
OÙ IL EST OÙ IL EST L’INTÉRÊT IL EST OÙ ?

TOURNÉE VERS LE FUTUR 
TOUJOURS LA TENTER LA TENTER L’AVENTURE 
C’EST DANS TA NATURE
MALIKA ÇA J’EN SUIS SÛR

TENTER CE QUI TE TENTE
TOUJOURS TOUJOURS PARTANTE
AIMER CE QUI T’AIMANTE
DES RÊVES ET DES PROJETS SUR TA LISTE D’ATTENTE

MARCHER CONTRE LE VENT 
PORTÉE PAR LE COURANT 
NOSTALGIE NÉANT
DE L’AVANT MALIKA DE L’AVANT

MARCHER DANS LA FORÊT
LA BICHE AUX ABOIS HANNAH AUX AGUETS 
ET SE PERDRE EN REGRETS
IL EST OÙ IL EST OÙ L’INTÉRÊT IL EST OÙ ?

POUSSÉE PAR LE VENT 
PORTÉE PAR LE COURANT 
CONTRE LE CONTRE-COURANT

Lyrics -
Puts on his raincoat
And his Panama hat
Pulls up his collar 
As he's leaving his flat
He Hails a taxi
And heads right into town
He's on a mission
And it's all going down

It's goin' down baby
Aha it's goin' down

SECRET AGENT 

Meets the informant
And he's wired to the max
Erasing data
Just to cover his tracks
He makes a visit
To the villains at large
And signs the deal
That puts the good back in charge

Evil's gone baby 
The good , guys, win

SECRET AGENT 

Don't tell anyone
Don't tell anyone
Mmm don't tell anybody
Don't tell anyone

“Bullets & Butterflies”
Music by Brian Wilson (https://soundcloud.com/rexgoliath-1)
Words and Vocals by Wild Christopher

Bullets fly through the same skies as the butterflies
Some of us pray for change others just to survive
Strip back to the soul and what do you see inside?

Healing
We all need healing
Do you feel it?
This heat on the rise

Stealing our chance of redemption
A cold heart beating
Take your pound of flesh tonight

Snowflakes 
Butterflies
Gun barrels 
Take your shot I’m already dead inside
I hear the call to march
But I’m tired of picking sides
Between Bullets & Butterflies

Deadly games we will never win
Can’t you see we’re all gettin’ played again my friends
You say walk away …. get shot 7 times
But I’m tired of picking sides
Between Bullets and Butterflies

Bullets & Butterflies

I’m tired of picking sides
Between Bullets & Butterflies

Bullets fly through the same skies as the butterflies

Snowflakes and Butterflies
Gun barrels 
Take your shot I’m already dead inside
I hear the call to march
But I’m tired of picking sides
Between Bullets & Butterflies

I guess o’ copper should have always known 
when he was reachin’ it was for his phone
And not a gun to end his life
But you make a choice and now he’s shot 7 times

And we’re left with picking sides
Between Bullets & Butterflies

Snowflakes can cover a mountainside
And it takes a bold step to ever complete a climb
But it will take a climate change to cross this great divide
Between Bullets & Butterflies

Je suis le vieux forçat de cette forteresse
Aux invisibles murs, mais remplis de murmures
Tournant en procession au fond de cette pièce
Où mon âme n’a plus que des lambeaux d’armures.

Et tel un condamné, j’entends leur psalmodie
Gémir à demi-mots leur sourde messe-basse
Tombant à gros flocons dans l’hiver infini,
Ressusciter sans cesse un passé qui se glace.

Aux âmes condamnées, l’enfer est ici-bas.
Les regrets éternels sont, plus que tout, vivants
Quand ils rongent l’espoir dont l’unique combat
Est de cautériser les jambes du présent.

Mais quand revient le soir, loin des bruits de la ville,
Que la folle vitrine amusant le passant
Remet le fond de tain d’un miroir indocile,
J’y revois, impuissant, le passé lancinant.

Puis dans ce grand mouchoir qui se prend pour mon lit,
J’allonge ma défaite, inutile d’aisance,
Comme si en dormant, les conseils de la nuit
Allaient soudain venir dans ce port de plaisance.

Aux âmes condamnées, l’enfer est ici-bas.
Les regrets éternels sont, plus que tout, vivants
Quand ils rongent l’espoir dont l’unique combat
Est de cautériser les jambes du présent.

L’amour a tout l’esprit et tout le corps divin.
Et si j’en perds le nord, c’est que par tous mes sens
Il m’y anéantit, pour un oui, pour un lien
Qui n’aura d’heureux que le poids de l’inconscience.

Aux âmes condamnées, l’enfer est ici-bas.
Les regrets éternels sont, plus que tout, vivants
Quand ils rongent l’espoir dont l’unique combat
Est de cautériser les jambes du présent.

Aproximate translation :

I am the old convict of this fortress
With invisible walls, but full of murmurs
Turning in procession at the bottom of this room
Where all my soul has left are tatters of armor.

And like a condemned man, I hear their psalmody
Moaning half-words their deaf low mass
Falling to large flakes in the infinite winter,
Constantly resurrecting a frozen past.

To the doomed souls, hell is down here.
Eternal regrets are, more than anything, alive
When they eat away hope whose only fight
Is to cauterize the legs of the present.

But when we come back in the evening, far from the sounds of the city,
Let the crazy window amuse the passerby
Put back the bottom of one of those indocile mirrors,
I can’t help but remember the haunting past.

Then in this big handkerchief that thinks it’s my bed,
I lengthen my defeat, useless of ease,
As if in sleep, the tips of the night
Suddenly would come to this marina.

To the doomed souls, hell is down here.
Eternal regrets are, more than anything, alive
When they eat away hope whose only fight
Is to cauterize the legs of the present.

Love has all the spirit and all the divine body.
And if I lose the north, it’s because of all my senses
He destroys me, for a yes, for a link
Who will be happy only by the weight of unconsciousness.

To the doomed souls, hell is down here.
Eternal regrets are, more than anything, alive
When they eat away hope whose only fight
Is to cauterize the legs of the present.

Le forçat du passé

Le forçat du passé [Myckaël Marcovic and Lukowig]

DON'T JUST LIKE, LISTEN; DON'T JUST LISTEN, COMMENT; DON'T JUST COMMENT, SHARE!
I don't respond to musicians that just add numbers, and i don't respond to musicians that just click the like button, because it doesn't prove they actually listened.

Just clicking the like button doesn't prove the tune has been listened to; anyone can click a like button, and if you don't comment because you think my music is crap in comparison to your own, please say so!

NOT SURE WHETHER LISTENERS SERIOUSLY UNDERESTIMATE MY CREATIVE TALENT, OR WHETHER I SERIOUSLY OVERESTIMATE IT!



The homophobe accuses me of being homosexual, the homosexual accuses me of being homophobic....the truth is, I'm neither! 


Confirmation that BIGOTRY = STUPIDITY! And that bigotry is widespread among the oppressed and the oppressor, the victim and the villain, the overlord and the underdog--which is why, when these groups change places, the roles are simply reversed--underdog becomes overlord, overlord becomes underdog! No one really wants TRUE JUSTICE, A BALANCED SOCIETY, they just want a single slice of the cake, they want the whole cake! 

We belong to 'THE ME FIRST GENERATION!'

If musicians you exchange support with were CYBER-SHUNNING a certain musician on Soundcloud and this was undeservedly destroying that musicians chances of getting heard, would you bow to peer pressure or would you continue supporting the musician they were targeting regardless?
