Illusion machine. (Winkandwoo & Midisound)
=======================


Music created in July 2024
Editing, lyrics, vocals and covert art by Winkandwoo.

The original idea came from the chorus of the music. I thought of an accordion to create it, but unfortunately I couldn't find a good sound for the iPad for this instrument, so I scrapped the idea and replaced it with a soft synthesizer with some depth.

My partner in adventures, on this occasion, did the rest with an impeccable job full of creativity and elegance.

Thanks Clive, again, for this gift.

Lyrics.

What are they feeding your mind
How are they seeding your kind

Illusion machine
It's bigger than you and me
Illusion machine
The demon's behind your screen

Why do they need you so much
When do they get in touch

Illusion machine
It's bigger than you and me
Illusion machine
The demon's behind your screen

P'tit Paul.  (Translated after the French text )
Texte : Sarada

Musique : Alain Illos

Il est pas fou, P'tit Paul,
Y fait l' guignol !
Quand on dit qu'il est fou,
Ca me rend folle.
L'est pas timbré, y fait exprès.
C'est pour me faire rigoler.
Il n'est allumé pour de vrai
Que quand je ris à ses côtés.
Comm' rien ne peut plus l'arrêter,
Faut qu'ils lui pass'nt la camisole.
Il continue s'il m' voit pleurer
Parce que ça me désole. P'tit Paul.
Il est pas fou, P'tit Paul,
Y fait l' guignol !
Quand on dit qu'il est fou,
Ca me rend folle.
Il se rebelle, il est farouche,
Il n'aime pas quand on le touche.
Moi seule, j'ai le droit du sol,
J’appuie  ma têt' sur son épaule
Alors, il sourit, ses yeux louchent
en les relevant vers le ciel.
J’ lui pose un bécot sur sa bouche
Et il se fait tout miel. P'tit Paul.
Il est pas fou, P'tit Paul,
Y fait l' guignol !
Mêm' qu'on dit qu'il est fou,
Je l'aime comme une folle.

P'tit Paul

He's not crazy, P'tit Paul,
He's a clown!
When they say he's crazy,
It drives me crazy.
He's not crazy, he does it on purpose.
It's just to make me laugh.
He's only turned on for real
When I'm laughing with him.
Like nothing can stop him,
They've got to put him in a straitjacket.
He goes on if he sees me crying
Because I'm sorry. Little Paul.
He's not crazy, P'tit Paul,
He's a clown!
When they say he's crazy,
It drives me crazy.
He rebels, he's fierce,
He doesn't like to be touched.
I'm the only one with a right to land,
I rest my head on his shoulder
So he smiles, his eyes squint
as he raises them to the sky.
I put a kiss on his mouth
And he's all honey. P'tit Paul.
He's not crazy, P'tit Paul,
He's a clown!
Even though they say he's crazy,
I love him like crazy.

I love her so much because of that

Sunset on Horizon

This is my new single. It’s about accepting life’s challenges, working through them and then using that learning to adapt and survive.  I’ve posted an earlier version here before but it’s remixed and mastered (RCD Audio). 
I hope you enjoy it. Take care.

Lyrics:
My Uncertain Steps 

As a boy, I was scared of the sea
With my family, on a beach in Normandy, 
a French boy told me the ghosts of drowned sailors grab your legs and dragged you down
I wouldn’t go in! 
Too naive and trusting! 

As a teen, I was all over the place! 
Always confused, just didn’t know which way to face
Too many temptations, suggestions and thrills, distracting and wild
Couldn’t think straight 
Couldn’t concentrate! 

It was always their demands and directions 
Had to meet their dreams and expectations 

My uncertain steps
No confidence 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps 
At my own pace
(My way) 

My wreckage of a life, with this chaotic love
Constant demands, you can never do enough 
Mix in the bullies, the twisters and those egos too
It pulls you apart
Breaks your heart 

I’m seasoned, I now know this path
One crisis avoided, another starts 

My uncertain steps
More experienced 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps
At my own pace 
(My way) 

And now I expect to see the worst
In everyone and everything I know
Just know how it is, but feel I can somehow 
see it through

(outro) 
I’ve got friends (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve lived and learnt (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve got you (for my uncertain steps) 
I’ll get through this (my uncertain steps)

My Uncertain Steps (Single version)

Every time I see your face
Reminded of beautiful place
Don’t need to be reminded that
All is not enough

Given the choice 
I’d never have guessed
But I’ve got no choice

Asking for a simple favor
Mind if I could sit with you more?
Gentle gesture, human nature
Gift to ease my heart

Given the choice 
I’d never have guessed
But I’ve got no choice

Make everything easy
Easy on the eye

Now we know as years have passed
Love always been, always will be
Comparing to rarified air
Easiest choice ever made

Given the choice 
I’d never have guessed
But I’ve got no choice

Make everything easy
Easy on the eye


I'd Never Have Guessed
