Lyrics:

Hook:
why you tryna hold me(x3)
down down down bitch

Verse 1:
always busy judging me
always busy smudging me
spreading hate tryna kill my vibes
but you know your shit ain't touching me
I don't quite fit with the status quo 
if you don't like my style bitch just go
we can go on playing this tic tac toe
but I'mma cross you out stupid ass troll
you wanna hold me down to feel good about yourself 
you insecure as hell now put your ass back in the shelf
if you gonna try and block me Imma bulldoze my way through
you can try all you want you ain't stopping what Shaolin's gonna do.

Repeat Hook


Verse 2:
its fucking hilarious seeing you all delirious
cause I'm so stoic not affected by your schemes like Marcus Aurelius
If I only got a life one time, I only get a one time shot
I'mma a chase my dreams till the end of the line
I ain't wasting time on a 9 to 5 job.
Tomorrow's already made up its mind, and you cant change what's left behind
so right now at this very moment
I'm reaching for the stars I've made up my mind
and if you gonna try and block me Imma bulldoze my way through
you can try all you want you ain't stopping what Shaolin's gonna do

Repeat Hook

Can't Hold Me Down

Can't Hold Me Down (Prod. Psycho Joe)

This is a collaboration with the talented Karin-Maria Brunner from Switzerland. She composed the music and asked me if I would be interested in doing vocals and some guitar. I decided to write the lyrics in the Swiss dialect of German. Karin made it easy for me to write lyrics and do some acoustic guitar with her wonderfully composed song. Here are the lyrics in Swiss German and then English. The song art is actually a photo of where Karin used to live in the mountains. Hope you enjoy!

Herr uuf em Berg (The Gentleman upon the Mountain)

Gan wiit obä uuf em Berg
Gits a mega psonderi Herr
Und jetz verzehli syni Legendä wort für wort bis zum Ende

Vo da obä, geseht er alles
D'schöni Wiesa D'Wasserfälle
Er schützt das Land mit stabiler Hand
Aber es gi niemer, wo syn name chann. 

Im sym Herz isch nur Liebä da wird bliebä
Wird dieser Herr niemal sterbä
Und bliibt verbundä mit d'Erde. 

Aber jedes Jahr, es git es Kampf
Zwische dem Herr und ä anderi Ma
D'Mann isch gross und ziemli Start
Ung schlagt d Herr unheimli hart

Aber dieser Herr, der hat wieder gunnä
Jetz staht er uuf und begrüsst d'Sonne
Und hebts Land unter syn Hand
Und herrscht na wiiter....mit liebvollem Plan

English Translation

Way up high, upon a mountain
There is a very special gentleman
Und now I will tell you his legend, word for word until the end. 

From way up there, he sees all
The beautiful meadows and the waterfalls
He protects the land with a stabil hand
But there is nobody that knows his name

In his heart, is only love
And if that will stay so forever
This gentleman can never die
And will stay connected with the earth

But every year, there is a struggle
Between the gentleman and another man
The man is big and really strong
And strikes the gentleman incredibly hard....

But this gentleman, he won again
And now he rises and greets the sun
And keeps the land underneath his hand
And continues to lead with a loving plan. 

Danke!

Look Away w/Martin Hirsch

I discovered an intriguing string octet piece by Bartosz Kozłowski: https://soundcloud.com/bkozlowski/vicious-circle.  Drawn in by its complexity I began hearing ideas for additional parts. I commented, he replied, then shared the wav & encouraged me to follow my vision! Thanks, Bartek! :-D

Your Love Is Contagious - Paploviante

I like to have a good time (yeah)
Every night
It's my kryptonite (baby)
I'd like to write you a love song every day
From my heart and from my soul
Straight from the bloodstream
Straight from the bloodstream
I'm pulling you in like the tides
Into my dreams
Into my schemes

I only miss you
Once the scars have healed over
Absolved of all joy 
and all order
A thousand love songs
From my heart, from my soul
Straight from my bloodstream
Straight from my bloodstream
Straight from my bloodstream
I will drag you down
Into my dreams
Into my dreams
I'd write you a thousand love songs
I'd throw all them all away
But, this is the one that I saved...

Bloodstream

Formerly known as "Song #5", this is my newest instrumental!
I really hope you all like it! I think it's got some grunge and punk rock influence in it. Definitely different to what I've done before.

Also, can we talk about the cover art for a second? lol so this song was kind of influenced by how social media sucks us in and you get stuck on there for hours and hours without realising the time. I wanted to recreate that impression through the cover art so i kind of did a Harry Potter dementor face sucking thing haha, I hope you see the link between the two ideas!! 😂😂

I also just want to say that I actually lost my project file of my song Broken Hearted which i had already expected to have recorded vocals for and have up, but i had to re-record the whole thing!! The instrumental for that is complete now too, so hopefully I can get vocals for that done ASAP 😃

On to new a better things soon! I've been writing tracks for what I hope will be my first EP! They are a slightly different sound to what I've been posting - Actually one of my tracks Fashion Girl which is already up here already will hopefully feature on my new EP, so maybe that can give you an idea of what it will sound like 🙂
 
Until then, stay safe!

Taken (Instrumental)

Alex Arcady:  Drums, Hammond, Vocals, Mix & Master
Dirk Taubenheim:  Guitars, E-Bow, Bass, Vocals

Recorded at Gatsby's Garage, mixed and mastered at Joytime Studios, Togliatti. Original version by Big Country, 1983. This is a tribute to Stuart Adamson, one of the greatest guitarists ever. Thanks for the attention!

Chance

I have always loved this song by Robert Palmer, but I always imagined it at a slower tempo to allow the words to resonate a little more. Rather fun perfecting a perfectionist, I hope Robert doesn't mind, in fact I wish he'd come back and do the vocal. So, anyway, here's my lockdown cover, accompanied by my Valuable Friend, Rick Medlock - The King of Rhythm.

@rick-4-1 - Running around The Drums
@phil-mcwalter - Looking for certainty in The Other Stuff

JOHNNY AND MARY

Johnny's always running around
Trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls
Knows he tires easily
Johnny thinks the world would be right
If it could buy truth from him
Mary says he changes his mind more than a woman
But she made her bed
Even when the chance was slim

Johnny says he's willing to learn
When he decides he's a fool
Johnny says he'll live anywhere
When he earns time to
Mary combs her hair
Says she should be used to it
Mary always hedges her bets
She never knows what to think
She says that he still acts like he
Is being discovered
Scared that he'll be caught
Without a second thought
Running around

Johnny feels he's wasting his breath
Trying to talk sense to her
Mary says he's lacking a real
Sense of proportion
So she combs her hair
Knows he tires easily
Johnny's always running around
Trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls
Says she should be used to it

Johnny's always running around
Running around
