Blowing the Wind of Life: 30 Great new songs from the SoundCloud community

Fragments of a dream

Forgotten: 
Well it seems we've been forgotten
In this distant place
Floating on a dead drift
Nowhere to keep us safe
Somebody's got to call the captain
Tell him we're in trouble and we need to call home
and we can tell them where the soul lives
but only for a price
Sometimes tucked behind the shadows 
Hiding from the light
But if we pierce it with the purest sound
We can share the stories on the way down

The wind was barely blowing, but I couldn't hear the voice
Like silent film with color at the fringe
We were so close to touching bottom 
They waved with crooked smiles
They threw the rope too short to pull us in

Forgotten

This is the legend of the Dutchman's mine.

Lyrics
Lost soul of the dutchman’s mine,
In the desert of intrigue and the dollar sign.
Close to the town of Wickenburg
lies a legend of a man who found the gold mine.
Time blurs the story over many a year,
lives being lost and many a tear.
So here lies the tale of Jacob Waltz
And the legend of the dutchman’s mine.

The story goes that rich gold was found
high up in the mountains of superstition.
Chinese whispers mixed tales unsound
but the legend persists with each expedition

Look no further it’s likely a dream.
Superstition mountain has no gold seam.
Maybe it’s in Bulldog near Goldfield.
It’s just a legend of a gold mine
It’s just a legend of a gold mine. 

Each gold mine is lost in the southern breeze.
It seems gold fever can spread like a virulent disease.
If time stood still for a hundred years,
and they prayed to God for his help divine,
they’d still recall the tale of Jacob Waltz
and the legend of the dutchman’s mine.

The legend of the Dutchman's mine

The legend of the Dutchman's mine.

The Legend Of The Dutchman's Mine

From the Album: "Friends, They're Gonna Get Your Story Wrong" (2021)
Lyrics:
You could tell my heart just wasn't in it
When I walked through the door
You could tell my heart just wasn't in it
When I washed up on your shore
On the surface
It seems calm
But underneath
There's a raging sea
Pulling me
Down
Let me swim out to the breakwater, I'll be fine
Every ounce of energy that I conserve
I just flail and I give it away
I just flail
And give it away

I've never met a woman like you before
I'm swimming for my life
(and you know it)
I just keep on writing these sad, sad songs
There just C and D and E
They're like taking buried treasure from the sea
Let me swim out to the breakwater
I'll be fine
Every ounce of energy that  I conserve
I just flail and I give it away

My heart just wasn't in it
As you could see
When I washed up from the sea
Swim out to the breakwater
I'll be fine
I've never met a woman like you before
I'm swimming for my life
And you know it
Let me swim out out the breakwater
Breakwater
I'll be fine
Let me swim out to the breakwater of my heart

Gary and I have always been fascinated by the beauty of cloud formations. So when we first heard about SoundCloud, the very name piqued our collective imaginations before we'd even visited the site or posted any music. We started Mountain Songs nine short years ago and we've now had well over half a million plays on the page, something we could never have expected. 
The two of us have had many conversations about SoundCloud being like an imaginary village situated somewhere up in the clouds. In this village, there are lots of pubs and bars where we meet with other like-minded folks, occasionally stopping to play music together and share a hypothetical drink or three to oil the wheels of discussion. These hospitable watering holes may indeed be imaginary but the friendships made have been very real, meaningful and long-lasting.
This seemed like the ideal time to write a song about this fantastic village. Within the lyrics, you may read names you've never heard before but they are all, in some way, connected with cloud phenomena. If you're at all interested, do Google them and read their stories. It's fascinating stuff.
Of course, Hans picked up on the atmosphere of this one straight away and, as always, has produced a brilliant arrangement that took the song on to greater heights. He is just one of those with whom we not only collaborate musically but have also become close friends, alongside others such as Gordon Midgley and Arkestar. There are so many other names we could mention but we sincerely hope they know who they all are.
As many of you will be aware, neither Gary nor myself are getting any younger and age has brought with it a number of debilitating medical conditions that are making it harder and harder to stay as active on SoundCloud as we have been in the past. Gary has always been the one who maintains the day-to-day contact but his ongoing health problems are now starting to make that impossible. We continue to support each other as best we can and will be posting new songs when we get the opportunity. 
We're not saying goodbye here, more of a 'we’ll see you around when we can...’ 
This song is for all of you, our wonderful SoundCloud friends. With all our hearts, we thank you for the kindness and support you have shown over the last nine years. It really has meant the world to us. (Terry Reeves)

Welcome to the SoundCloud village
Come and play your part and don’t worry about the spillage

The cloud committee with thermal drafts
All around the world from Moon to Mars
Fish skin and fire giving rainbow skies
And many sounds heard avoid euphonious lies
Welcome to the SoundCloud village
Come and play your part and don’t worry about your image

A Nimbus cloud forming part of our friendship 
With an open gate to welcome McKendrick
Harmonic instruments played by the commune
As our voices scream, searching for the right tune
Welcome to the SoundCloud Village 
Come and play your part don’t worry about the beverage 
Welcome to the SoundCloud Village 
Come and play your part and make sure the world’s astonished
Welcome to the SoundCloud village
Come and play your part and don’t worry how long to finish

Columnas clouds covering every hamlet
With your head inside to avoid any bandit
Gavin Pretor-Pinney guides ukes to a mission
And shares music and clouds with all who listen
Welcome to the SoundCloud village
Come and play your part with moments to cherish

William Rankin rode hard and past thunder
With Lucy in The Sky, with diamonds up and under
In the cloudy village that never will be seen
Covering collaborations of musical dreams
Welcome to the SoundCloud village
Come and play your part and don’t worry it’s a privilege 
Welcome to the SoundCloud village (repeat….)

I DON'T BELIVE IN MUCH
AND WHAT'S ABOVE
UNTILL THAT STAR
FELL UPON YOU

I HOPE IT'S WITH YOU

LIFE IS FULL OF LUCK
THEN YOUR NUMBERS UP
DON'T WISH FOR MUCH
IF YOU HAVE LOVE
(chorus)

LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE

Midisound is a bit of a genius and i fell in love with his track straight away , go over and listen to his inspiring music -https://soundcloud.com/sonido-reflexivo
LYRICS:-
"Time is not for any of us
We make it up to know that we exist
Because time is not for anyone
It's just an illusion of your mind"

As i look up today and
See the sky
And i am
Mentally trying
To Blow the clouds away
Feel the sun on my skin
Feel the earth beneath my feet
Feel the heat
Just blowing the clouds away

When the rain it comes
It washes clean
It feeds the ground
Trees and plants and flowers
Are the blessings for us now

Healing Sun
Make us as one

ME VOILÀ MAINTENANT SANS CORPS
OUI MAIS IL ME RESTE LA FLAMME
ET J’EN REDEMANDE ENCORE
ENCORE
