Ah… les jambands ont presque ramené les années 60. J'adore ton rappel jazzy de la brume violette des crépuscules des champs de fraises. Miglarisis, dans sa coccinelle fleurie, exprimait une liberté depuis longtemps disparue. Nous, les adolescents aux yeux fous, nous émerveillions des possibilités…

amazing work👏🏼☕🌈💫⏰💫⏰🤝🙇‍♂️lovely swing

superbe!!! avec, par moments, dans la voix, dans la manière aussi , des accents dignes du grand H!

Love the warbling organ and gentle swing...

"Funny Days" est une excellente chanson. Expression musicale brillante pour toutes les chansons de cet album dont la pochette à elle seule vos le détour (mode plein écran sur Youtube). Enchantement à l'écoute des six chansons. "Mushroom Man", "Elle & Lui", "Merry Go Round" me plaisent particulièrement. C'est du grand art Monsieur Lodbrog !

j, aime bien cette chanson,  ca marche tres bien ... il me resouvenir de Leonard Cohen...

Invigorating vocals..marvelous lyrics.. brilliant guitar work captivating & mesmerizing..perfectly executed..brilliant effects..sumptuously infectious..excellent mix & recording production!

Captivated by the infectious flow of the song, and the "easter eggs" of tribute in French.  A clever song that is also brilliant in concept and performance.  As Jonathan noted, you have the guitar work well covered:)

Stairway to heaven 🎹 - Led Zeppelin cover (piano)

Special thanks to Cecilia for her a cappella ...of which I modified the tone in order to fit perfectly with my arrangement and atmosphere

EQUALITY FOR ALL.  🎧

Well, this unusual track started with the rhythm guitar part, and each time I added something it took another left turn into the cosmos (hence the title). I wrote the melody with a synth sound I wasn't planning on keeping until I added a vocal...and suddenly I felt Star Trek theme vibes. (Or maybe SC's own Admiral Krank and His Mighty Spacemen https://soundcloud.com/user-766619428). So I created the layers of vocal harmonies using EastWest Sound's "Voices of Soul" which features midi samples of C.C. White (you're definitely going to be hear more of her on future projects!).  I'm playing all of the guitars, bass, keys/synth, and I cut the drum loops. I hope you enjoy this comic trip into the unknown.

Lyrics :

I chased a Centaur through the night,
In the ancient garden where flowers bite.
Whispers of lavender, sweet incense,
The smell of your mane ignites the trance.

Caught in marmalade, we take flight
I bite the sun, your ejaculation ignites.
The snake’s milk shows a thousand ways,
We painted tentacles in the foggy haze.

(Chorus)
Oh, moonlight confessions,
Dreaming to many dreams,
Floating in the colors,
Life's not what it seems.
Like a planet in a jar,
Your thirst is my desire.
In this vegetal arcadia,
You set my wings on fire.

Like a spider in a labyrinth,
You're the riddle I can't solve.
But in the pulsar, our hearts sync,
In dreams, where we revolve.

I am the butterfly, you, the flower,
Roots intertwined as we devour.
Fragments of moments, lost and found,
In this plan, bliss knows no bounds.

(Chorus)


So drink me, souls  entwined,
In the secret semen,  undefined.
In your scent of cold, I confide,
In moonlight’s glow, we’ll  hide.

Vegetal Arcadia

Illusion

Like U

Every Now & Then

"tote liebe" grew from my instrumental Yearning, merging its melancholic string writing with a dark, epic vocal delivery.
This song is written to invite multiple readings — whether you hear a lost love, an unbroken obsession, or a dialogue with the shadow/self is entirely up to you.

Violin color
Lead lines use Virharmonic’s Bohemian Violin for feather-light bowing, intimate vibrato and fluid performance legato — a fragile, breathing tone that carries the lament.

Vocal disclosure (ACE Studio)
The voice is rendered with ACE Studio because no suitable singer was available in time. Melody, phrasing, dynamics and expression were composed and designed by me. I care about real, honest music: composition, arrangement, performance design, mixing & mastering are hand-crafted; ACE only renders the vocal line I wrote.

What to listen for

Slow, elastic phrases above restrained percussion; violin and low pads build tension.

Verse: close, chest-heavy voice; Chorus: wider, more distorted harmonics.

Bridge: violin answers the vocal in sighing intervals, then falls back into silence.

Tech notes
BPM ~128 (expressive rubato). Target loudness ~-14 LUFS, peak <-1 dBTP. Stereo: vocal center, violin wider.

Lyrics (English version) 🎶❤️🎶
A glance into the light – my heart suffocates
Your scent fades – my blood turns to stone
I cry for you – yet you are far
But every wound still carries you with care
I – long – for you
For your curse, for your being
I – still – burn
Doomed alone – alone for all eternity
Your name decays upon my tongue
Love lies dead, while death feels whole
I follow blindly the ancient vow
You live in me – for all eternity
I – long – for you
For your curse, for your scent
I – still – burn
For a dream, for your simple existence
A fire in the deep
A scream in darkest night
This longing eats my life away
Until nothing in me wakes again

"tote liebe" ist aus meinem Instrumental Yearning entstanden und verbindet dessen melancholische Streicher & Piano mit einem düsteren, epischen Gesang.
Der Text ist so gestaltet, dass mehrere Deutungen möglich sind – ob verlorene Liebe, ungebrochene Obsession oder ein Zwiegespräch mit dem Schatten/Ich, entscheidet ihr beim Hören.

Violine
Die führende Klangfarbe stammt von der Virharmonic Bohemian Violin – hauchzarte Striche, intimes Vibrato und ein natürlich fließendes Performance-Legato für diese zerbrechlichen, atmenden Linien.

Transparenz Gesang (ACE Studio)
Die Stimme wurde mit ACE Studio gerendert, weil sich rechtzeitig keine geeigneter Sänger fand. Melodie, Phrasierung, Dynamik und Ausdruck habe ich komponiert und gestaltet. Mir ist ehrliche, menschliche Musik wichtig: Komposition, Arrangement, Performance-Design sowie Mix & Master sind handgemacht; ACE setzt lediglich die von mir geschriebene Gesangslinie um.
Bridge: die Violine antwortet dem Gesang in seufzenden Intervallen und fällt zurück in Stille.

Lyrics 🎶❤️🎶
Ein Blick ins Licht – mein Herz erstickt
Dein Duft verweht – mein Blut erstarrt
Ich schrei nach dir – du bist mir fern
Doch jede Wunde trägt dich gern

Ich – sehne – mich
Nach deinem Fluch, nach deinem Sein
Ich – brenne – noch
Verdammt allein – allein bis in Ewigkeit

Dein Name fault in meinem Mund
Die Liebe tot, der Tod gesund
Ich folge blind dem alten Schwur
Du lebst in mir – in Ewigkeit

Ich – sehne – mich
Nach deinem Fluch, nach deinem Duft
Ich – brenne – noch
Für einen Traum, für dein einfaches Dasein

Ein Feuer in der Tiefe
Ein Schrei in dunkler Nacht
Die Sehnsucht frisst mein Leben
Bis nichts mehr in mir wacht

tote liebe (Yearning)

The world was still asleep in the quiet moments before dawn when a polite knock interrupted the silence. When she reached the door, the only sign of a visitor was the faint sound of a carriage disappearing into the distance. On the porch was a single, ornate invitation, its wax seal still intact. As she broke the seal and opened the envelope, she felt a sense of curiosity and mystery. What lay inside was not simply an invitation, but a message that might just change her life forever.

Piano improvisation for a short story scene. 😊

FUNNY DAYS FUNNY WAYS
PERDU DANS LE PURPLE HAZE
DANS LA VALLÉE DES SYCOMORES
UN PARADIS ARTIFICIEL
A L’AUTRE BOUT DE L’ARC EN CIEL
ET TANT ET TANT DE TEMPS DEVANT
QU’ON EN VOIT PAS VRAIMENT LA FIN

FUNNY DAYS FUNNY WAYS
PERDU DANS LES CHAMPS DE FRAISES
DANS LES BRUMES DU NEVERMORE

UN PARADIS CONSENSUEL
PEUPLÉ DE FORMES SENSUELLES
AVANT D’ALLER SE FAIRE AVOIR DE L’AUTRE CÔTÉ DU MIROIR

FUNNY DAYS FUNNY WAYS
JUSTE FILER À L’ANGLAISE
ET RESSUSCITER LE MATAMORE

FUNNY DAYS FUNNY WAYS
YELLOW SUNSHINE PURPLE HAZE
ET NO FUTUR DANS L’ANGLE MORT

FUNNY DAYS (Lyrics + notes)

Rapture is a new collaboration between the Beating Edge and Joe Stroffolino, following the awesome 'Asteroids (The Original Was Better) (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/asteroids-the-original-was). Joe wrote both the lyrics and the original music, while the Beating Edge rearranged and recorded it in a punchy rock style, adding driving guitars, strong rhythm, and dynamic choruses. Vocals feature Tom on lead, with Joe and Mary contributing both backing vocals and lead parts on certain verses and the bridge, creating a layered and energetic vocal texture.
The song explores the absurdity and irony of doomsday prophecies, the obsession with the rapture, and the endless cycle of believers and false prophets. It blends satirical storytelling with a critical eye on human behavior, delivering a mix of humor, intensity, and thought-provoking commentary through energetic rock arrangements.
Rapture is a track that engages both the mind and the ears, combining narrative, power, and fun in equal measure.
Edit: In the meantime, Joe has released his amazing acoustic version of this song! Don’t miss it! 🫶 https://soundcloud.com/joseph-stroffolino/e8ccb0a6-eda9-457d-89d9-6bbbfbbd038b

Lyrics:

These prophets who say the world's gonna end and they set a specific date
And then when it doesn't happen, their followers still think they're great
The sun rises the next morning and people stumble out of bed
Disappointed that the rapture didn't happen and they're still alive instead of dead

All these people going through the motions, trying to deal with the daily grind
Hoping the rapture comes soon and they're not the ones who are left behind

They claim they have a direct line to God but there was a glitch in the connection
But now they're certain of the expiration date so they issue a correction
The shepherd guides the flock and tries to keep them safe from harm
But how many times can you cry wolf before people ignore your alarm

All these people going through the motions, trying to deal with the daily grind
Hoping the rapture comes soon and they're not the ones who are left behind

Who cares about the environment if you think the world is gonna end
And you're convinced the second coming is right around the bend
So drill baby drill and chop down all the plants and trees
No need to spend money on curing terrible disease

In every generation throughout history, people were certain that the rapture would come
And they had followers willing to believe them as they fed them each a tiny crumb
In baseball you only get three strikes and then the umpire says you're out
But when it comes to doomsday prophecies, the true believers have no doubt

All these people going through the motions, trying to deal with the daily grind
Hoping the rapture comes soon and they're not the ones who are left behind

Rapture

The music for this song was written years ago for a different band I was in.  The original title was "Where's Tomorrow Go?" and had different lyrics, and was sung by another singer.  Unfortunately, that band is no longer active, and I always liked the instrumental I'd made for this tune, so I finally decided to redo it with my own lyrics and vocals.  I figure a more serious song is in order after my last upload.  I hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:

Another wasted day has come to pass
Another page left blank in my book
Even if I try to scribble something down
Who the hell would ever want to take a look
I just can’t think of where to start it all
But I think I know how it will end
The second act is dragging on for too long
As I figure out the message it will send

Always find myself needing to be the villain
Could never see myself being the lead
A good protagonist needs to be stimulating
Something to relate to that I don’t have, but I need
I suppose I’m just looking for an excuse
To justify my existential dread
The prologue doesn’t lead up to any intro
Will I have the nerve to write any words before I’m dead 

Sometimes I wonder if it’s my vocabulary
Or if it’s lack of motivation
That prevents me from articulating the words
That would paint the mental illustration
A picturesque account of something more than life
To be remembered for the ages to come
Can I be the hero, or the mischief maker?
Can I find the courage to do what must be done?

In a hundred years will there be anything
Left to prove that I existed at all
What would it take for people to remember me?
A legendary rise to fame, then perhaps a great fall
Good deeds are so often forgotten about
Yet evil doings are immortalized
Who remembers the benevolent Roman Leaders
When the evil ones intrigue us more
