A World We Share

A song I recorded back in late 2018/early 2019. Deleted for whatever reason. The section of intense vocals toward the end of this song I've used in another song called "Losing It" which I may re-record in the future. So be on the lookout for that familiar ending. Enjoy.

On the Raid

It means lots to me
What does it mean to you
To send a message out
Whilst all the rest are glued

Dark Clouds trippin by
Like Eagles in the sky
Read as you’re crucified
The chief post in your stride

Oh you love it so
Just go watch the show
We understand and know

A fine Super Bowl plays across the sky 
A fine Super Bowl plays inside the mind
A fine Super Bowl  38 - 35
A fine Super Bowl , a Super Bowl that’s fine

Opt to make a stand
The cure for the common man
You’re not following the crowd tonight before we land

Oh you love Will Smith 
And the role of Hitch
Or is it Kevin James 
The King of Queens screen fame

A fine Super Bowl plays across the sky 
A fine Super Bowl plays inside the mind
A fine Super Bowl  38 - 35
A fine Super Bowl , a Super Bowl that’s fine

A fine Super Bowl plays across the sky 
A fine Super Bowl plays inside the mind
A fine Super Bowl  38 - 35
A fine Super Bowl , a Super Bowl that’s fine

A Fine Super Bowl (Demo)

Welcome to the first in the series "Of Fire and Ice" - Music of Norse Mythology, where we musically explore the grand and mysterious world of ancient Norse Myths! 
This musical tribute seeks to capture the legendary essence of the Norse myths. You’ll hear melancholic Norse melodies, as perhaps the Gods might have heard in their minds, the distinct sounds of traditional Nordic pagan frame drums and soaring targelharpa fiddles, flutes and the harp-like lyre. All this blends with orchestral instrumentation, sounds of nature, harmonies and the soaring sounds of James Hill’s trumpet.

#1 “Creation”: 
The world began in a void called Ginnungagap, between the icy realm of Niflheim and the fiery realm of Muspelheim. When the ice melted, the giant Ymir and the cow Audhumla were formed. Audhumla revealed Buri, the ancestor of the gods. His descendants Odin, Vili, and Ve killed Ymir and used his body to create the world: his flesh became the earth, his blood the seas, and his bones the mountains. They then created the first humans, Ask and Embla, from tree logs, and established the World Tree, Yggdrasil, to connect the realms.

The full music series is now available on all streaming services and I'll regularly update YT videos for you in the series.

Creation

In the last weeks DMs swept in from assumed new fans, praising one's musical talent in glowing words and phrases. A few "innocent" Thank-yous later their promo sales machines got fired. I admit: I had some fun in detecting their innocence in marketing and expose their poor strategies (often seemingly right out of some obscure how-to "handbook"). All gave up after a while, some disappointed or disillusioned, some just irritated and deprived of valid arguments. Poor souls sometimes ... 
Anyway, I took some ot the opening sentences from those advancements and a few claims et voilá: lyrics were written. SUNO took care of the musical presentation, which I polished a bit more with adding drums, organ and mixing.

Melodic Whispers

"Sleepless in Paris" is an ode to the quiet moments of introspection, much like Tommy Weber’s film "Sleepless Night in Paris." The song captures the feeling of being wide awake in a city that never sleeps, where love, hope, and self-discovery blend under the glow of the moon. The lyrics, such as "Restless, I am / In the still of the night" and "Sleepless, my heart / New hopes shine so bright," reflect the emotional journey of wandering through the quiet streets of Paris, much like the film’s characters searching for meaning in fleeting moments.

The theme of sleeplessness mirrors the film’s exploration of longing and the endless quest for clarity in a world filled with uncertainty. Lines like "I've never known clarity / Quite so deep" evoke a sense of personal awakening, as the narrator vows to follow their dreams and embrace their path with newfound courage. Much like the characters in Weber’s film, the song's narrator finds peace in sleepless nights, where hope replaces fear, and the quiet promise of dawn becomes a beacon for transformation.

Restless, I am 
In the still of the night 
Sleepless, my heart 
New hopes shine so bright 
Come the morning light
I'll find the path I'm due 
By the moon's soft light 
My dreams, I'll make them true 
Sleepless, without a care

I've never known clarity
Quite so deep 
Like stars from this train 
My truths, I vow to keep 
No more need for fear 
Let my story be unfurled 
In each moment I bear 
Soon, I'll conquer the world 
Sleepless, without a care

Lyrics:

Once we cherished the earth now it crumbles to dust
Deaf to the voices of the fallen we’ve lost
We sold our souls to demons and crushed those who defied
In the name of progress we chase the next lie

Screens divide hearts collide 
but never face to face, its all a lie
Fingers point while roots decay 
no one cares or mind

Shattered reflection a world torn apart
Blind to the soul deaf to the heart
Disconnected lost in the glow
Nature is screaming (but) we don't want to know

Shattered reflection a world torn apart
Blind to the soul deaf to the heart
Shattered reflection

We feel like gods yet hollow inside
Built empires of ego where the truth used to thrive
The forest burn the rivers run dry
But we’re too far gone to see what we have done

Empathy’s signed demise 
what have we become? who we are?

Shattered reflection a world torn apart
Blind to the soul deaf to the heart
Disconnected lost in the glow
Nature is screaming (but) we don't want to know

Shattered reflection a world torn apart
Blind to the soul deaf to the heart
Shattered reflection

We don't want to know!
We don't want to know!
We don't want to know!
It's all a lie
We don't want to know!
We don't want to know!
We don't want to know!
Shattered reflection

This is the principal soundcloud channel for original one-man music by gd&themultitracks.  Mainly instrumental, the music was home-recorded in stroud, england using hardware synths & instruments and Audacity community software for editing and mixing the individual multitracks.  I've had great enjoyment in making (& listening to!) the music, but any plays or feedback would be much appreciated. 
The music spans a wide range of sounds & genre.  I've put a selection of tracks into playlists which cover much of the music:  rock, melodic rock, soft guitar, ambient, electronica, soundtrack, jazz & blues..
