Don't Abandon All Hope

From Mud to Lotus: Composed, arranged, performed and produced by Evandro B. Lira aka Vintage Mutation.

"... The cyclical nature of events leads to inevitable periods of obscurity (the immersion in the mud). The imperishable tradition makes it possible for humanity to emerge from them through hope, driven by unique symbols and messages of power, purity, and beauty (the blossoming of the lotus)."

From Mud to Lotus

MY NAME IS STEVE AND I'M A FUNKOHOLIC

This song expresses the possibility of a new path forward in the midst of struggling to come to terms with a very sad breakup.

The structure is designed to connect to the future, so that the possibility of charting a new path is continuous.

This is an original track.
I recorded the guitar, bass, piano and drums myself.Some elements like certain string parts, ambient sounds, and subtle adjustments were programmed using MIDI — although some of the string sounds were also played and recorded using an electric piano.
This track features vocals by Koharu Rikka (小春六花), a Vocaloid singing voice synthesizer.


Thank you so much for listening!


The lyrics are as follows (Japanese):
消えてゆく場所はここにあるの？
もう一度会うことも言うこともできないの？

始まりの終わりが何かを
告げて　涙に変えゆく
永遠の言葉はいつでも
儚く途切れて　新たな道を描く

色褪せた過去の傷を背負い
夢の跡抱きしめて遥かなる道に立つ

始まりの終わりが何かを
告げて　姿を消しゆく
永遠の言葉はいつでも
儚く途切れて　新たな道を繋ぐ

the End of the Beginning

CROSSROAD.

======================


November 2024.

This is a more electronic composition with a small piano touch at the end.

I try to capture in music the decisions we must constantly make in life to follow our path. I've made some wrong decisions in my life... who hasn't? But at least I can say that I made them on my own and they weren't induced, even the wrong ones. That allows me to overcome, for the time being, any regret or frustration they may cause. I believe most are irreversible because they can cause unforeseen damage, even to other people, if you backtrack and choose another path.

Happy summer, everyone.

Feedback proves we listened!

I don't spend time thinking about what I create, no formulas, no recipes, no planning, no genre in mind, I just go wherever the first few notes take me, pretty much improvised; I tend to go with the first idea that pops into my head; judge for yourself how that pans out!

In order to relate to your music most listeners need to be able to pigeonhole it, if they can’t do this because you create tunes that are unique they'll likely dismiss your creativity, absorbing it years later when other musicians, believing they got there first, stumble on your sound!

No followers, no listeners, by that measurement I’ve failed miserably, however, I have succeeded  in remaining true to authentic creative self, underground in this world, #SixFeetUnderground the next!

These tunes are not fillers, they are seriously funky, but more importantly, they are not samey, each tune has its own identity! Only one way to find out if that boast is a hollow one, and that involves listening to, not just one, but several tunes!
