The Price (Round And Around Go The Days)
August 19, 2021 All Right Reserved

Round and around go the days
Reaching for something that slips away
Is this the price we must pay

Speaking of things that you don’t understand
It’s a crying shame
Lingerin’ too long like an overplayed song
it’s a fools game

Over and over we go
Hoping for reason to take control
Try not to let it all go

Tellin me this and you’re tellin me that
to ad nauseam
I’m goin my way and you’re going yours
To the bitter end

Round and around go the days
Reaching for something that slips away
Is this the price we must pay

This is the first proper rebuild of Scribe in 10 years. It's now Melanin. Since I was trying to sing about racism, I just realised it should be more straight forward to see that. So hence the new name. In fact, I've decided to completely remake it and I'll put it on this years album. The artist BeART {New.Album here... https://on.soundcloud.com/Mwa2J } Is releaing a remix of the original, Scribe,.tomorrow 🥲 The first time ever... Thanks brother Go BeART 🇧🇪🌍🇮🇪

Artwork is by ADW. Multiple artists were commissioned to cover some temporary walls near my gaff. The cover for this song got the best one. Thaaaaanks
The artist .... I think.... http://adwart.com/

This song explorers the scourge of racism on Earth. Different amounts of melanin in our skin is really the only difference which builds human skin colour tone! So this 'lights a torch' for the 'other shades, the hues'. People of different colour skin to me! We're all the furking same.

Martin Luther King empowers the piece obviously 💫🤘🏿🤘🏻💫

The Magic slur is when Magic Johnston had to deal with a bigoted NBA team owner.
The good Dani let's eat... Dani Alves the footballer, picked up and ate a banana that was thrown from the stands in Barcelona's Nou Camp Stadium... This is the mercury mould. The racist gesture from that fan who threw that banana is meant to suggest some humans were monkeys on the pitch. Dani Alves stood up and was counted for that moment. Hopefully the person who threw it took on board what he did and changed... 

Apparently the amount of melanin changes over long periods of time in our skin depending how long our descendants have stayed in those locales with different amounts of light getting there and onto their skin... In turn evolving with those environmental conditions. That's it! Apart from that we all eat, drink, shit, piss, eat and so on... If we're lucky

Now that I think about it. It surprises me that I haven't heard this done before. (I'd love to be wrong 🔗 ?) Singing about the only scientific difference that gifts us with different tones of skin. How much melanin in you? Drill it into the kids!

Lyrics

A magic slur,
This  biggot must go!
It seems he don’t like ‘em too dark,
All monkeys roam free.
The Sun, relatively!
In this mercury mould a banana thrown.
It seems these don’t like em too dark,
Good Dani, Let’s eat!
All colours seep just melanin skin deep.
All colours leak just melanin
Why oh why do you take just your side
Won’t you learn that you’re no different.
Living with how the past framed their thinking…
Why oh why? Won’t you learn?

Let it rain
Pave the way
With Luther light
We learn tonight
You want the truth.
If this sits loose with you.
Oh what to tell our youth…
Here’s a clue!
How much melanin in you
How much melanin in you
Fight for the force
All of our human sects in tune
Light a torch for the other shades,
The hues…
How much melanin in you
How much melanin in you
Fight for the force
For all of our human sects in tune
Light a torch for the other shades,
The hues…
How much melanin in you
How much melanin in you
Fight for ‘the force’
All of our human sects in tune
Light a torch for the other shades,
The hues…

	“Sweet land of liberty at thee I say…”

Let freedom reign
I'm on my father's side
Let freedom reign
This land is for the children's pride
Let freedom reign
I'm on my father's side
Let freedom reign
This land is for the children's pride

Heavy lyrics at the end I stand together with my Dad, Cedric 👨‍👧My hero😘 He made me the good person I am so we stand together, Louder and Stronger against bullshit racist thinking

The messed up opening is my attempt at pretending Martin Luther King is popping into the song from another realm 🤯🤘🏿 Empowering the tune...He obviously articulated the problems associated this scourge the best so have a listen and read him.

I say FUCK RACISM and FUCK YOU if youre a racist. You'll burn out 🧘🏻

Now! Wrote this many nows ago! Around 2012

The pic is and orange I'm about to eat. I never latched onto Grace when the church told me to thank God for food when I was younger... I'm my 20s I started it again..But I thank the food for dying to keep me alive. Proper grace!

Thanks Orange... because of these few moments... these few nows... I stay alive and you're life means so much more because you're not being wasted... and I'll listen to my tune too to mark the time and link. Best orange ever 😊

Idk... maybe thats a good change. The church says thank God... the most confusing thing for all humans to share ideas about... Instead of teaching the kids reality... This food was alive and is dying or you. Live appreciating THAT... not something that confuses you and then you stop doing it altogether. If you're on the fence... nonharm doing both

I thanks the Universe and the thing that dying and as many of the people involved in the process as we can think of as a family. it's deadly... We don't always think of it but I think it's honing the grace bit the right way 


Lyrics

Make it real won't you
Imagination truth
Not to confuse
That's where your dreams bear fruit
This alliance use a collective conscience
Clues?
You'll know more inside
When we stop wearing this place out


They say, No... It can't be done...
'Till one thinks outside the box
New paradigm takes dogma on
Yes, now we're moving
Now we're moving...

We Can Make It

Another one from well it must have been 2008. This was one of Obama's songs I made back then and it sat on My space for a while...

George Bush get destroyed in this haha... Honest John McCain gets a poke too but sure that was poking his sith party...


Lyrics

Gold carbon cold
Old matter wasted
Oh I won't sell my soul to use
Uncle Sam, Don't fight
Ground zero ~ Gaza site
Come on.... the truth is light...
Move on dear bros
Bin that racist prose
True Peace means dark to light
Be with God
I know true might in life

And, oh don't impose or preach your prose
Teach our youth where to go
Our lows I suppose breed strength and hope
Suffer your pain alone... 

Too much fear?
Look for love
TED comes, high 🌿 with the wisdom of crows 🐦‍⬛
Don't rush your mind
Be fit in body to grow
Sith insane no gain
Let's ease that future pain
PLEASE don't make your votes insane again 
November 7th 2028 Hey redemption day!

Our moments are now let's change
Together let's dream 
Peace and love and hope
Let's kill the hate and evil and war once and for all
Sith got no blood in his veins
I see his neroli pain
Drill brown liquid to brain
Next life he'll suffer his pain

In time all evil will cry
We need no proof why they lie
All foxed up nazis will die
Sith tower truths... I sigh 
But I know my space on fire 
Fuck you and your orange satire 
But give me your hearts
We're all sick of your blows
You're orange tyrannical nose...
But give me your hearts
We're all sick of your blows
You're orange tyrannical nose...



My Aunt always says.... Carl leave the names out... ok I get ya now.... 🤣 They are the sith forever...


Fuck you orange sith

Transcription sur Musescore d'un choix de chansons du cycle "An Iglotorian Prayer"

Evil Ways

"The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention." 
 - Oscar Wilde.

A composition inspired by the idea that a simple gift can have a lasting impact as others continue to pass it on. This theme of "passing it on" is represented in the track by the repetition of the main musical theme.

A Simple Gift

Latest Updates: 
Headphones are recommended on my work to allow the full effect. 
Over 1800 Tracks now on my channel, making music on here since 2015.
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).

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.
