Good Crazy Stuff 3.

[Verse]
I’m chasing shadows in a room full of light,
Trying to be everything you like.
I make the dinner, take the kids to school,
But it never feels like I’m breaking through.

I see the way you look when she walks by,
I hear the silence when I ask why.
I could climb to the moon, but it won’t compare,
To the spell that she casts when she’s standing there.

[Chorus]
There’s nothing like this mesmerizing girl,
No one else can take your world.
I’m just a breath, she’s the storm,
And in your eyes, I’m never more.

I’m always here, but you look away,
Because she’s the one who makes you stay.
There’s nothing like this mesmerizing girl,
And I’ll never be your favorite pearl.

[Verse]
I change my hair, I change my style,
I take the garbage out, I walk the miles.
I feel so small, like I’m made of glass,
And every moment with him, it breaks so fast.

I laugh at your jokes, try to make you see,
But your eyes never turn back to me.
I’m left in the corner, a silent prayer,
While you float to her like she’s the air.

[Chorus]
There’s nothing like this mesmerizing girl,
No one else can take your world.
I’m just a breath, she’s the storm,
And in your eyes, I’m never more.

I’m always here, but you look away,
Because she’s the one who makes you stay.
There’s nothing like this mesmerizing girl,
And I’ll never be your favorite pearl.

[Outro]
I’ve been the echo to your voice,
But you’ve already made your choice.
No matter how I try to shine,
You’ll never see this heart of mine.

Mesmerizing Girl [Edit]

Session #4 - Arrangement likely complete aside from the female accompaniment and some perfecting the current tracks 🧘


Lyrics

♾️Kardia♾️

Thanks Jan...

Heart awake, 

Warm & safe 

Hard to say... 

Resonate 

The chest in breast 

Filled with your best 

What it projects 

Who it protects 

How it perceives 

A whole how you'll be 

Observe

Go make our belief.


Good sphere on the ground 

Go roll like webbed sound 

Waves walking

Waved walking

Waves talking



Go be your seer

Look around

Go roll like webbed sound 

Waves walking

Waves walking

Waved talking

Waves walking

Waved talking

Waves talking

Waves walking and talking 

♾️Kardia♾️

Wrote this a few nights ago after being challenged by my Auntie Jan to write a positive song. This the forth session with this idea.

Jan, has been a special spiritual guide for me throughout my life so I needed to make it as close to her heart as I could. Jan believes strongly we should project positivity into the world so sometimes when I share my music with her, like my worried AI tune, Symbiosis, she turns into Obi Wan and I feel like Anikan Skywalker getting told off. It's a pretty epic relationship I have with her.

I tuned my keyboard E6 to 639Hz and this resonates throughout the piece. This is the heart solfeggio frequency. The words imagine us as spheres of energy, I suppose like Divinci represents symmetrically with his famous design.

TedX - The Medicine of Frequencies
https://youtu.be/ya-7eP8WWwQ?si=_qMfC6geRmnoYcRs - Possibly some solid science growing around these ideas

Interesting perspective on AI and Intelligence https://youtu.be/JGxWT4EUVbs?si=ltyNNxgxu2ETzz2K

These two videos were enough to justify the ideas and feel I was singing about something real! I don't think I can sing about something otherwise....

The song is 77 full bars long. This is paying homage to my Uncle, Dick Quirke who passed away last week. He was 77 years young. So nicely, one bar for each year he was on Earth. Thanks Dick for finally teaching me what you tried to. Rest in Peace and I love you 🧘

So, I suppose this stuff. Us as balls.of energy and all that jazz... Science as a collective has only.really.poked at the ideas so far and those scientists that have seem to find something which fills some gaps.... if you take a big leap... this could reopen doors to the possibility of an afterlife.... So Dick is sunning himself with Buddha & Jesus right now 🙏🏼🧘🏻 Along with everyone else that passed on before 💭 Nice to imagine it that way now anyways...


The name Kardia is paying homage to Elpiverse. Just before I began writing this song, for most of the day I wished SoundCloud had repeat for the first time... (Eh have since been shown how to repeat by Elpiverse 🙈 🕺) Her first song is incredible and really warmed my heart. Kardia can mean the heart of your energy in Greek. Or to quote one of the two angels that inspired this piece, Elpiverse, who kindly took the time to leave a lovely comment...

"Kardia has both a literal and metaphorical meaning. It is the organ, but it also represents our emotional world, our deepest self. We use the word in many ways."

The song this artist made with her friend is below. Please share and make it the positive digital virus it should be. IT'S THE ARTISTS FIRST SONG! Let's inspire more of those! Also check out the covers! Pretty wonderful.

Check it out here and you know what to do - LISTEN/Like/Share/Comment - Inspire!

For.Kardia. .

Let's make the dream....

You're listening. Fill in the gaps with whatever you want to address. Whatever you want to be ok with or feelings you want to be comfortable with that are hard to say, explain or maybe hard to feel. I think it's helping me with all the above but I currently have the advantage of having filled those gaps in the idea.... If you like, let us know how it makes you feel in the comments or I'd happily read and answer you a message should you PM me🧘

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 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.
