Die Ewige Wiederkunft Des Gleichen [Marco Lucchi] Mon Interprétation

Electronic Music with E-guitar and vocals 
I was wondering to myself, why I occasionally feel down, something I could not quite put my finger on...and also how I manage or try to hide these feelings. or think that I am hiding them :) 
luckily I am optimistic and these phases pass by quickly, not always the case for everyone, just an idea for a song!

It Will Be Okay

Thanks again to Amanda for adding her voice to this track (and for keeping that window ajar).  Please listen to her other great tracks on @phoebeelena.

Tie another balloon
to the skyline 
We could hold the sun 
between the shade
We might light the moon
it is high time
that we walked upon the stage

Swing on sycamores
we'll grow wise
we might count the lines til we grow old
Maybe we set sail on the last tide
We're never coming home

I have seen the world
and my faultlines
glitter like the skies of grey and gold
We might be the fools for the last time
but we're never letting go

Cry lightning bolts
Cry Lightning bolts
Cry lightning bolts
Cry lightning bolts

In turn send shivers upon my spine
In turn send shivers upon my spine
In turns send shivers upon my spine
And love send shivers

I have seen the world
and its shorelines
glitter like the skies of grey and gold
We might be the fools
but it's high time
and we're never coming home

High Time (by Amanda and Paul)

Madness

As it is the end of summer, perhaps this is a good time for a 'blockbuster' track. I originally wrote this more than a year ago. I got a better orchestra, so I replaced all the tracks with the new ones. It was not so easy to mix because of the large number of tracks (40) and I often would look away not wanting to sit down and figure out all the details. With orchestra, one needs to do a lot of MIDI manipulation and automation to make it sound alive. My friend, Pascal, (https://soundcloud.com/user-650933542) wrote the electronic ostinato part in the second half. Check out his cinematic, imaginative, orchestral offerings. I also made a slower first half with piano and strings but I will make it into another song instead. 

If interested in my live performances, check out my clubhouse, YouTube, FB, twitter channels. Thanks for subbing to my YouTube. If interested in streaming, thanks for following me on Spotify.

Hope's Dream

A group of friends make a nuisance of themselves in Newcastle city centre on Saturday afternoon circa 1979.

That’ll Be Us

It’ll never be Saturday afternoon - Eclectic and so cool?
Hog the speakers, spin the “New Boots …” - Kooshie and Stumpy
We’re going to head into town soon - Scratching up our change
“Woodies” ten pack, at the ready - sartorial negligence

That’ll be us
Fenham Hall Drive – waiting for the 32
That’ll be us – lighting up on top deck

And now we’re breaking all the rules – “Marc Tony’s” waitress fumes
JG Windows, pit and pencils
C-90s Red Rizlas
In “Kard Bar” – finding obscure tunes - Combing LP stacks
Incense burning, concrete stairwells – Our Mick’s getting wittier

That’ll be us
Fenham Hall Drive – waiting for the 32 oo oo
That’ll be us – lighting up on top deck
Together we know – all the words to that reminiscent folk song
Tasting the snow – that’ll be us

Dodging the thugs who feel immune – trying to ridicule
Mock the mysteries, scoff the pop charts
Spoof the big wigs
And now from nowhere there’s a plan – maybe back to Kay’s
Or walk out to Jesmond, drink Federation
Benign insular niche

Taste Anticipation

Buy me!

That'll Be Us

Lyrics:
Jonah

I was drowning in a sad sea
out of the waves your love just swallowed me
So warm and tender I just held on tight
I made you laugh until you cried

When your tears released me I just couldn’t leave
after a while you didn’t notice me
but I’ve been there inside you without fail
yes I am Jonah and your love is the whale

So you take me with you like the tide
floating around you keep me warm inside
Never knowing that I hide within
love lies deeper than the skin
Sometimes I’d slip right back into the sea
but the sunshine only blinded me
and like a ship without a sail
I am Jonah and your love is the whale

Even though I know you’ll never hear this song
I’m still content to keep on hanging on
And as the currents take you out to sea
Your love will always be the whale and Jonah's always me
always me…

Jonah

Plight of the BubbleGum
________________________________
someone put LSD in my bubblegum
I wanna get it on but my head is twisted
where the world ends is when I existed
what is truth when it lies fixated 

in my bubblegum, I wanna get it on
but my mind is empty
my thoughts they fall in tandem  
I see strangers and panic at random

hey there not so fast priest
you wanna tell me what It is I’m missing?
I pray to mother mary but it’s
all illusion until I start drinking

well-water will rise in earth
the scorched land and comet hearth
and whoever put holy water next to me,
it’s no bother, it chills levity 

and if I’m a hypocrite, I’ll stick my bubblegum in it
if I stick it on your artwork well, I’ll chew it straight to hell
and when I get there lines are formed, some are sleeping queens
adorned in radiant whistles aimed at the sky,
light them up! let them fly!

light them up, let them fly!
I wanna get it on where tongues are twisted
the stuff that makes gum chewy? it is… it is…
whatever it is, I missed it

one more moment fast
where rockets fly in the night cosmic blast
where all soldiers pinned beneath the sky, 
don’t cry, I got bubblegum

it’s a mystery to me, worth lies beneath cosmic beauty
it scars me wide it’s coming straight to Ayhem (Son of a Lion) surprise
One more time I stick my bubblegum in your eyes
I’ll have you blind than lie to me one more time

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.

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.

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.
