Your mermaid seas flow beautifully into the yonder...

Reflective without being down...and I like that right hand piano tinkling too..!

Absolutely beautiful writing and interpretation (of course, as always). I'll be back to listen to your music.

I'm very late to this one, but it's now working its magic. Great atmosphere and emotion Lenny

Good melody, always good lyrically, salt on my lips...

This is why god created the re-post. A pleasure to travel with you again.

wow you sound great, i love the way you constructed this

From time to time I've felt this way... and meaning to write a song about it.  

Hope you don't overly empathize, but if you do, I'm with you in spirit (as are many others I'm sure).  Please take a breath, know you're not alone and remember that it's darkest before the dawn.  Stay well. ☮ .  I'm Done.

Lyrics follow:     Done

I'm tired and I'm dyin

(Nyah Maan Ohoo Ow
Ah Ow)

This life is...
It's pullin on me

It's pullin on me

...

I'm Done!
I'm Done!

(I'm tired and I'm dyin...)

No fuckin way
I'm So STUCK

... 

What ya want me to do?

What ya want me to doo?

W T F !

Oh ... It's reasonable But I'm not doin that

I'm Done

Man.  There's no sense kickin a dead horse
If it's down 
It's down

...

It's down

Done

You do get some nice surprises in this SC audiosphere of ours.

Imagine my delight when out of the blue Paco dropped me a note saying he'd composed some music and wondered if I might have a bash at some lyrics to match.  Of course, I jumped at the chance.

It transpired that his composition wasn't about anything in particular, rather, it was just one of those pieces that sort of emerge from a theme somewhere and grow into something very worthwhile but difficult to "place".  However, in our discussions about possible development ideas, I couldn't help but notice Paco's deep affection for his home city of Seville, and there’s only ever one outcome when England meets Seville…. 

Thank you so much, Paco, for the invitation to make some musical marmalade -  it was a hoot “jamming” with you!

Hot Seville Night

Softly as the dusk,
Certain as the easy sunrise
No need to rush,
Time stands still before your eyes.
Watching as the world plays out,
All its crazy bright tomorrows.
Ebbs and flows of human tide
Cool air hanging in the shadows,
Of a sweet perfumed, hot Seville night.

Orange blossom rain
Lazy jasmine musks the air
Aroma showers fall again
Kids with petals in their hair
In these melancholic times
Family smiles caught unaware
Bring sanity and peace of mind
Citrus blessings freely shared
In a sweet perfumed, hot Seville night.

Hot Seville Night
Senses move to ease the spirit
Wishing  I was back there in it,
My Hot Seville Night

Magic jacaranda sway
Violet through the Alcazar
Ancient histories replay
Laughter from the tapas bars
Rose flamenco passions flare
burning scarlet in delight
Festive celebration colours
Billow everywhere in sight
On a sweet perfumed, hot Seville night.

On a sweet perfumed, hot Seville night.......

Experimental Piano. My mother was hospitalized yesterday...

I-The day my mother was hospitalized

Navigating life can be like a game of tug of war with our dog... (especially on election day within the USA,) where he and the folks with whom we interact don't care about anything but, what's their immediate want or need... with no consideration of others or future generations with regard to BEing able to live a healthy, safe, prosperous life. Instead, we'd rather not admit our complacency and thereby... our culpabilities towards why things occur the way they do as to why there are still wars, famine and more rampant and ferocious diseases... despite many professing we live in the information age, are superior species, etc. Funny how we are failing to see the reasons for these things slapping us in the face essentially, while we continue to simply watch our friends, families, and Mother Nature become more ill and die from unnatural, preventable causations... each day, each month, each year. Even more funny, how those encouraged to "speak the truth" are then... ridiculed, mocked, bullied, and belittled for taking a stand to do so. It's done under the guise we must "Be kind..." the new age way of saying "Sit down and shut up... we just want to enjoy spending the money we made off the backs of those we're now killing." Even the ACLU receives up to 8% of their budget from companies with whom their litigants are then encouraged settle disputes and to sign nondisclosure agreements. (It might be more than 8%, by now.) Transparency would be for it to be illegal for any "gag order" to be placed on any lawsuit settlements whether inside or outside of courtroom proceedings.

Demain , le vent… Texte : O’Mat

Et si demain nous décidions,
Comme le vent souffle la feuille,
Comme la feuille embrasse le vent,
De nous échapper librement,

Nous prendrions le premier vol,
Comme le vent souffle l’oiseau,
Comme l’oiseau embrasse le vent,
En quête d’un pays d’Orient,

On y trouve d’autres manières,
On y respire d’autres parfums,
Dans la douceur du matin,
Se cachent parfois quelques guerres,

On y trouve de beaux visages,
Parfois marqués par les années,
Mais que le soleil a tanné,
Comme pour effacer leur âge,

On y découvre des villages,
On y entend d’étranges sons,
Dans la douceur du soir qui tombe,
Se cachent parfois quelques orages,

On y traverse des rivages,
Parfois marqués par les années,
Et que le soleil a séché,
Comme pour révéler leur âge,

Et si demain nous décidions,
Comme le vent souffle la feuille,
Comme la feuille embrasse le vent,
De nous échapper librement,

Nous t’emmènerions, mon enfant.

Demain , Le Vent...    O'Mat / Illos   chant JuliA

83 - THE HYPERSONIC FACTOR

This track is a pre released song of our band The Hypersonic Factor for the upcoming album (release in 2023). Much to our joy and surprise the first album "Inventions of Diffusion" got quite a bit of attention Worldwide on several prog and jazz rock platforms and stations. https://thehypersonicfactor.bandcamp.com/album/inventions-of-diffusion

The second project has been years in the making, first demo's were starting to emerge just before the Pandemic. Well, our work is almost finished on the album with some tracks needing some last parts to record and of course the mixing and mastering right after that. It's a vast body of work, ranging from acoustic pieces to full blown Jazz Rock and Progressive Rock. 

Our band consists of:
Tom Hipskind - drums and percussion https://soundcloud.com/tomhipskind
Jason Rubenstein - piano, synths & keyboards https://soundcloud.com/jasonrubenstein
Mirko Borach - bass (fretted and fretless) https://soundcloud.com/stringburner
Dan van den Berg - guitars (acoustic and electric)


This track was the first to be completed, and initially came from me. The idea behind 83 is quite simple. 1983 was the year I started playing guitar, I was ten years old back then and a big fan of Al DiMeola, Yngwie Malmsteen and Edward Van Halen. I wanted to play loud and fast, like those players. Of course it took me many, many years. The track should sound like it was made in the eighties, the origin for my playing.

I really hope you'll enjoy this pre release that already had some radio time on several prog rock platforms!

All the best! -Dan

Content with a small Sea.

Still under the curse that keeps her from returning home to the ocean  Seawind's ghost wanders the land. She finds a lake in the mountains.

No tide, no wave, no salt on the air
No blue water to flow through her hair
No song, nor spell
No dance for the moon
Just a sigh on the breeze, passing by

She drifts, through the green...
look you close, she won't be seen
The moment you think you do
the dream takes you.

You drift in her wake
to a moon silvered lake
The moment you see her true
the green takes you...

No tide, no wave, no salt on the air
No blue water to flow through her hair
No love, no storm, no kiss for her cheek
No heart nor flame
burn to the wild. 

Re-visiting an earlier incomplete version 'The Green'  inspired by the mysterious 'Gormire Lake' in North Yorkshire.
