SPOILED RETURN OF THE FORBIDEN SUPERSTITIONS

I'm having some Halloween fun with a Screaming Jay Hawkins type song. Theremin included free of charge.

Lyrics:
Oh Caroline
I don't give a damn about your star sign
Caroline
I don't know nothing about those love lines
On your hand
That palm reader 
She put it in doubt!
That same hand you used
To lock me out
You say: Venus is rising
In retrograde
With Mercury
Little Miss Superstition, you know that I must disagree

Everything has been going wrong
Since you told me
Our star signs they're not aligned
That sun is beating down on my house
(It's a Son House!)  😉 
Even when I'm inside
I was at the airport
When my ship, it finally came in
I'm drinking in a rusty bucket
Home-made gin
You say:
Venus is rising
In retrograde
With Mercury
Little Miss Superstition, you know I disagree
Ewwww!
( Because you're mine!")

Caroline
You know it's true
I'll win you back
With those
Cut rate
Reprobate
Back alley
Black magic blues
(Because you're mine?)

You said:
Venus was rising
In retrograde
With Mercury
Little Miss Superstition
Won't you please break the spell that you cast upon me?

Miss Superstition

YOU’RE THE SON OF A GUN AND A FATHER OF A SON 
I CAN TELL BY WHAT’S BEEN TOLD TO ME
LITTLE FRED IN HIS BED IS DREAMING OF A TREE
YOU ARE 40 YEARS AHEAD COS FRED IS ONLY THREE

CAN YOU BALANCE A PLATE ON THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD JAKE
SITTING ON A CORNFLAKE I HEARD YOU COULD DO SO 
CAN YOU HAVE A BIG BREAK WITH A VIDEO AD JAKE
AND MIME AMERICANA WITH YOUR BASEBALL HAT

A GHOST WRITER OR  A MUSE OH OH
WHO IS PAIGE SUPPOSED TO BE? 
FROM WHAT I READ IN THE NEWS OH OH
SHE COULD BE BOTH COULD’NT SHE?

JUST A WORD FOR JULIENNE WHO SEEMS A DEDICATED FRIEND
ET À TOUS LES GENS QUI T’AIMENT ET QUE TU AIMES AUSSI
ON RÉCOLTE CE QUE L’ON SÈME TOI TU AS SEMÉ DES AMIS
HENCE YOUR LIFE IS WHAT IS MEANT TO BE


GOULIES AND GHOSTIES AND LONG LEGGETY BEASTIES
THAT GO AND JUMP IN GEORGIA JAKE
I KNOW THAT’S WHAT YOU GO FOR THE AMERICANA LORE
NO WONDER SINCE YOUR FAMILY
WERE QUILTERS, FOLKLORISTS, PAINTERS, WINE MAKERS
ALL BEAUTIFUL DREAMERS
SOMEBODY TOLD ME SO
SO IN THE NAME OF ALL THE TURTLES IN THE WORLD
I WISH YOU MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY
HAPPY RETURNS
MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY
HAPPY RETURNS
HAPPY HAPPY
IT’S THE TREE OF LIFE
HAPPY RETURNS

HAPPY RETURNS (Lyrics) Song for Jake

Lyrics: Parvenu

Make way… for the parvenu…
With the mouth, the mouth of a muckspout
Driven to crapulous excess
You make it all, make it all so Nanty-narky
Then batty-fan it into a mess 
Parvenu…
You avaricious ninny-hammer  
A colourful metaphor of profanity
Is that your best shot at me? Yeah?
Once upon a crepuscular crawler
Made too many, too many a fopdoodle
No need to be such a scobberlotcher
Obsequious as a funky poodle
 
Make way…for the parvenu…Break away…from the parvenu 
Make way…for the parvenu…Break away…from the parvenu …yeah…

My chosen one will do anything for me
Pretty words, kisses and love
Gives me food, sings for me
Warms my skin when I'm cold

I don't want my chosen one to know
That I am actually very spoiled
Want this cuddling to never stop
Always let me be on top!

I'm spoiled
It feels so good

My chosen one, massage my neck!
While I lie here and enjoy my rest
And you can make me something to eat
Hurry up! I need massage on my feet

I don't want my chosen one to know
That I am actually very spoiled
Want this cuddling to never stop
Always let me be on top!

I'm spoiled
It feels so good

I`m spoiled
It feels so good

My chosen one will do anything for me
Pretty words, kisses and love
Do not let my chosen one see
That I am actually very spoiled

I`m spoiled
It feels so good

I´m spoiled
It feels so good

Feature Shock (2024)

Synesthesia is main motif for this song, first because of original lyrics, then as I felt like adding it more flavor with female vocals*, & finally when I recently watched some paintings about this matter**.

*Great vocal performance by https://soundcloud.com/maraoldfield is most notorious matter in this piece, where riffing parts toggle with bass-guided proggy ones.

**Due credits to https://soundcloud.com/wouwouandthewormling for ad hoc painting of the song’s artwork.

Letra  /  Lyrics:

QUIERO SABER SI HACE CALOR  /  I WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS HOT

En verano, insoportable,  /  In summer, unbearable,
todo está lleno de ruido.  /  everything is full of noise.
El invierno, silencioso,  /  The winter, silent,
que congela los sonidos.  /  which freezes the sounds.

No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold. 
No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.

Los días soleados  /  Sunny days
acompañan al estío  /  go along with the summer
y cuando llega el invierno  /  and when the winter comes
el cielo está oscurecido.  /  the sky is darkened.

No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold.
No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.

Latest Updates: 
Have been remastering some of my 'unloved' tracks from the past here on SC - music which has not received as many plays as I would have expected. Maybe 2nd time around your might like it.
The 2025 remastered tracks are being readied for my best of 2025 album in 2026, available January 2026.
I do not use AI on any of my work, just blood sweat and tears, and a lot of emotion/feelings. The reason I have so much music on SC is that I love making music and it is my life. Also I love to share my work with you all, please enjoy.
Have recently discovered some old tracks which I did back in 2009 but have never been previously released or worked on further. Decided to let them see the light of day, unedited and unpolished. Hope you enjoy them and can see where my humble beginnings started.
Also new for Autumn 2025, a collection of classical piano pieces which I composed back in 2010, in memory of my late father who inspired me to play the keyboard in the first place. Under the title of Magician In Private, hope you will allow my indulgence into a special world of just simple piano, no frills.
Please checkout my vast collection of playlists. All my best music is on there in one place. Is free to listen to or sleep with.
From 1st June 2025, celebrating 10 years of KORG KRONOS music with lots of brand new music showcasing the wonders of this iconic workstation in all it's glory. Also as a nod to the release of the KRONOS 3, which will take KORG into the next generation.
All my albums in full quality are available on Bandcamp, please check out the link below.
Have recently taken a short holiday to recharge my batteries and top up my creative juices. Thank you to all my followers for your continued support and encouragement, means the world to me.
Over 10K minutes uploaded, over 1500 tracks - am sure there is something in there for everybody to enjoy. I love making music. Hope it matters to you.
Am posting some Jarre sounding pieces as homage to my lifelong hero of electronic music, using some of the sounds and instruments he has used along the way. Jar of Jarre is my collection of memorable sounds which have changed the way we appreciate modern electro.
Keep an eye out for my new collection of 2024 Remastered best of tracks, coming soon.
New year, new start. Back on the search for good music and inspiration. Will be featuring a lot of my older work remastered this year, seems like a long time since I began my composing journey back in 2000.
Happy New Year to all my followers, May 2025 be filled with musical magic. 
Thank you for all your kind comments and support throughout 2024 I do appreciate it. Stay safe and love each other.
All my remastered best tunes from 2015 to 2023 are now available to buy on Bandcamp.
Am back to making regular music now but sorry no Christmas songs this year. This time of year is very hard for me as it is when my father became very ill and died in the new year 2010. I still miss him very much but hope he would be proud of my musical journey, he is my number one inspiration.
Just a quick personal note on AI and music. I think it is not a good thing for the creative side of music and a lot of it comes without feelings or soul. Creativity is a gift, and should be greatly valued, cherished and nurtured. Music is what makes us human and can never be replaced by a computer.
Finished remastering up to and including 2023 now. Has been a mammoth task but well worth the effort. Next year I shall be working on a remastered series of my pre KORG days 2000 to 2008, in 8 volumes, as well as celebrating in style my 10 years of KRONOS magic, can't wait for 2025.
Have now amassed over 1000 tracks on SC (that's over 8000 minutes of music) and it has been a blast sharing them with you all. Next year 2025, marks the 10th anniversary of the start of my KORG journey.
Am currently putting together a remastered Anthology collection of all my best tracks from 2015 onwards. 2015 consists of a 3 volume set (Now available on Bandcamp). 2016 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2017 consists of a 4 volume set. (Available on Bandcamp) 2018 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2019 consists of a 4 volume set. (Now available on Bandcamp). 2020 consists of a 3 volume set (now available on Bandcamp).
If you would like to listen to more of Magician, especially retro older tracks please checkout Bandcamp (see link below).
Have recently been rediscovering some of my older music pre KORG days and remastering for uploading to my cloud. Hope you like. Seems such a long time ago now.
I have been lucky to have music in my life, and now the time to explore how it can affect other people. I have discovered many new talented artists on SC and am happy to encourage and support their work; from small beginnings come great things. Please be inspired to be your best, inspire others too, encourage those who lack the inner courage to move forward, and together we can make music make a difference in all our lives.
Am spending a lot more time on my music now since retiring from work in July 2020. Always learning new techniques and honing my craft. Am comfortable now with all chord sequences throughout the scales and loving improvising with the help of my mighty KORG still. Am still trying to give my full support and encouragement to all SC users and some latest (you know who you are), are developing nicely. Be good to one another, be gracious to others, leave your ego out of your life and above all else remember there is always someone worse off than yourself. 
Please be kind to each other, to be happy with our lot without jealousy or greed; to give without asking the cost; to love as if there is no tomorrow; to share and inspire others who may be less fortunate than us; most of all to enjoy life for the joy of living, for we know not what the morning brings - stay safe my friends, be strong and always stay positive; remember life changes - DON'T let it change you!!  
Music is my life - has helped me through many dark places, is a big part of who I am. I put my heart and soul into every single piece of music I produce. I have found many wonderful friends on SC and many exciting talented people.  Been writing and producing music now for 40 years plus. Specialised in electronic based orchestral compositions. I have created my own genre which I call 'electrorchestration'.
Favourite artists/bands include Gary Numan, Little Boots, Jools Holland, Eno, Edgar Froese (1944-2015), Jordan Rudess, Kebu, Madis, Keith Emerson (1944-2016), Rick Wakeman, Richard Wright (1943-2008), Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, M83, Public Service Broadcasting, Dream Theater, ELP, Yes and Mystery to name but a few.
