WAKE UP FOR A NEW LIFE

an original song. from my album [My Art Is Suffering].

- - -

[LYRICS]

if you were fine-
i could stomach just picking you up tonight...
though-
lately, i can't find
the strength to try anymore...

i don't wanna live-
if living means to give and give

[ YEAH-
FLESH IT OUT.
PULL THAT WEIGHT. ]

i don't wanna give-
if giving means they dig and dig

took me this long to find out:
[ i don't know anything... ]

lately i've been-
steadily giving away all of my things
retreat to fantasies
adenosine-


DON'T
LET
ME
FUCK
UP
THIS
ESCAPE
PLAN
AGAIN.


will i even know when the time comes?
[ can't miss it if it never does... ]
i still don't know if all life is equal...
[ the more i know: duress + less = me... ]

we always know:
we're always dying.
in hell: ex hail
vapors
love gasoline...
in my hand:
a match made in heaven
yeah-
we always know:
we're always dying.
in hell: ex hail
vapors
love gasoline...
in my hand:
a match made in heaven
yeah...

the Spanaway suicide tapes, vol. 1

This is an old track I've made 2 years ago. 👴

I really like this track because it reminds me to have fun while composing 😋. You know sometime when I'm stressed I need to try some bold and crazy things in my music. This is one of those strange tracks.

This track has no real history and no real agenda. But I wanted to write something to bring together all the instruments I love : duduk, oud, guitar, synth and percussions.
I started the track by combining several guitar pulses. I added the percussions and improvised all other tracks on my midi keyboard.
I had to do a lot of midi programming to make this track work!
I hope it's not that bad. And I hope all duduk and oud players will forgive me if it's not perfect. It's all midi and virtual instruments and it won't match the beauty of a real player performance.

I've made some changes in this version : 
- The opera voice is different and I have been able to do what I couldn't do 2 years ago. The last note of the opera performance was not is the first version.
- The mixing is less agressive and I tried different panning settings.

I used many virtual instruments in this track : 
- Abbey Road : 80s Drummer
- Embertone : Whistler Ensemble
- Heavyocity : Vocalise 1, Vocalise 2 and  Scoring Guitars
- Ilya Efimov : Duduk and Fretless Bass
- Impact Soundworks : Oud, Shreddage 2, Vocalisa and Juggernaut
- Indiginus : Renaxxance
- KV331 Audio : Synthmaster
- Organic Voice : Solo Opera (replacing Storm choir soloist)
- Soundiron : Apocalypse Micro and Mars choir

I made a video with the Cubase performance https://youtu.be/jmM6RMNDKVA

The image is a photo I took several years ago. It's not related to the theme of the song but the name of the flower is Nigella damascena.

I wish you'll like this track. Thanks for listening (and reading this huge bunch of words😂)
I really hope all of you are safe. Be brave and stay safe💖💖💖💖

Fly From West To East (R2)

I have a lot of faith that people can be strong enough to recognize where they have done (or are doing) harm and make sincere amends. I also believe that people have the power to heal and forgive wrong doings. It takes great strength to walk together through the fire of our pains and come out the other end holding hands, recognizing and honoring our differences while acknowledging and celebrating our similarities.  

May everyone get a chance to break bread together, enjoy some wine, and share some laughs. 

Thanks again to Calebass, Jon, and Janine for joining me together on a 3rd track. We make a great team! It was really fantastic to have Chris O and Belial Pelegrim finally join a track on my page. Chris O and Belial are two SoundCloud legends in my opinion. I am so grateful to be making music with all my favorite people. If only I had more time to make music with all of my favorites on the cloud. Who knows, maybe I do!

And massive thanks to Russ and the Chaos Cookhouse for baking my bread in their oven once again. If it wasn’t for them, I would only be serving balls of dough.

Lyrics:

A rising hurricane blowing out the old
I feel it’s heading my way
Yes, a rising hurricane, heading my way
A rising hurricane blowing out the old
I just feel it’s blowing this way

The wind blows wicked by my side of the street

It’s heading my way

You better blow that away

We hunkered down for the storm breaks 
Sat by the heath till our bones ached
Kept those embers burning for what’s at stake 
Canned those apples for a future bake 
When we can walk across the street 
And give a hand shake 
To our neighbors where the wind don’t take 
A life’s time just to make up for
Past time’s big mistakes  

Well rise-up hurricane and blow out the old
Trade them for a mighty dawn

The wind blows wicked by my side of the street

Push aside the night shades to break a deal
Trade them for a mighty dawn

Even though things still ain’t right
We got deep history still within sight
And at times things can be downright 
Enough to incite our outright 
Deepest ugliest version of contrite 
I still cling tight 
To that hope for that bright light 
That one day things will be made right 
But it ain’t gonna be if we just hang tight 
Word 

The wind blows wicked by my side of the street

A rising hurricane blowing out the old
I just feel, it’s a-heading our way
Push aside the night shades
Break another deal
Trade them for a mighty dawn

AT THE END OF THE LAND STARTS THE ROAMING OF THE SEA
IT SEEMS TO ME THE RIGHT PLACE TO BE
THERE IF YOU STAND FACING INFINITY 
IT LOOKS LIKE NOTHING BUT THERE’S PLENTY TO SEE

ANY NEW BABY BORN A WHALER HE WIL BE
EXCEPT IF HE’S A GIRL SHE’LL BECOME A LASSIE A LASS
WITH THE GULLS HIGH ABOVE SHRIEKING THEIR OWN SHANTY
PRAISE THE WIND THAT CARRIES THEIR BODIES SO FREE

AND THE FOAM A SPLASHING ON THE BOULDERS DEBRIS
TELLS IN SHORT NO TELLING WHAT A  WONDROUS STORY
FROM THE START TO THE END LIFE’S TENACITY
BATTLEFIELD STORMY ROUNDS OF IMMENSE ENERGY

HERE I STAND WITH A FRIEND INVISIBLE TO SEE
I GOT TIME ON MY HANDS STRETCHING OUT AT SEA 
I DO FEEL IN COMMAND BOTH SAD AND HAPPY
EVEN A GRAIN OF SAND IT IS SO GOOD TO BE 

THERE’S ABUSE AND HARDSHIP THERE IS INSANITY
ALL ON BOARD OF OUR SHIP OUR KIND OF A BOUNTY
BUT WHATEVER THE DIPS IN THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA
ON AND ON HAND IN HAND WE’LL MAKE IT YOU’LL SEE

ON THE EDGE HERE I STAND WITH SOMEONE NEXT TO ME
IT’S THE MAN OF ARAN THE GHOST OF FLAHERTY
WE THREE ARE IN COMMAND FACING ETERNITY
AND IT LOOKS LIKE NOTHING WHICH IS SOMETHING TO SEE

AT THE END OF THE LAND STARTS THE ROARING OF THE SEA

MAN OF ARAN (Lyrics)

Aquarius.

Year 2013.

Remaster year 2020.

Music studio 2 native instruments

Digital D1

During my first years composing (?) Music, I made 80 or 90 compositions per year. I was trying to improve my technique with the program that in those years was not as powerful as in later versions.

This is special for many reasons.

It is the first time that I have used a chorus synthesizer that I use in almost all my songs since then and another one with strings that is also very common in my compositions. I downloaded both from the old Xewton forum that was the owner then of Music Studio (now it's Steinberg), software that I always use to edit tracks and effects.

I composed it on an ipad 1 that I won in a commercial challenge and that they recorded with my name. I still have it.

I finished doing it on the only occasion that I have been admitted to a hospital for several days due to my recurring problems with kidney stones. I remember wandering the corridors to walk around with a needle on my wrist and my headphones and my ipad ... listening to what I was composing .... I had nothing else to do !!!

Finally, it is special, why not tell it, because it is my zodiac sign.

This version is totally remastered. 10 Digital D1 tracks have been added and it has been fully equalized again in my new "music studio".

I hope you like it.

Next and last stop: 2012.

Wishing you all a very happy 2021, full of love, music and freedom!

Point Nemo

Quel vent nous pousse dans le dos
A partir pour partir
Hisser la grand-voile en solo
Filer en douce sur les flots
Je vais au point Nemo
On se reverra mais pas de sitôt...

Quel vent nous souffle au ciboulot
De partir pour revenir
Passer les caps et les fuseaux
Les pieds mouillés sur un bateau
Je suis au point Nemo
On se reverra mais pas de sitôt...

Quel vent nous pousse dans le dos
Quel vent nous souffle dans le dos
Je suis au point Nemo
On se reverra mais pas de sitôt...

Lyrics:

The Hardest Part of Loving you is letting go

The Hardest part of loving you, is letting go
Because i’m deeper in the storm
You Hint at words of love for me,
But nothing solid and concrete
it’s always some damn mystery
That's paved by so much history 

The hardest part of knowing you is loving you
For I couldn’t help it if I tried
But I got no place left to speak
Beneath a silent you and me
But without words the bones grow cold
Like some forgotten graveyard stone

Chorus:
I always say I’ll walk away,  but never do
Because you’re part of me and who I am
And if the earth came to a stand
No more oceans… no more land
The words I’m not allowed to say 
Would still endure through any age.

Instrumental

The Hardest part is bearing love I cannot show..
To burn so bright it cannot die
I wish that you could feel the same
I’d love you in a thousand ways
And though I know you never will
I hope you know I love you still...

The hardest part of loving you.. is letting you go.

REELIN’ AND ROLLIN’ 
WHEREVER ROAMIN’
AS LONG AS YOU ARE NOT WHERE YOUR ARE

LYIN’ AND CHEATING
NO MORALS HAVING
NO WONDER YOU’RE AT WHAT YOU ARE

AND MAN TONIGHT   
NO MOON IN SIGHT
IN THE DARK OF YOUR SOUL
NOT THE FAINT EST LIGHT
JUST THE BEAT OF A DRUM                  
IN THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL 
OF YOUR THICK JELLY BRAINS OF A FOOL

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
BLACK SKY CRUMBLING
COULD IT BE THE END OF THE ROAD
SOMEONE’S LAUGHING
AT YOUR CRYING
I GUESS IT IS THE PHANTOM OF JOB

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING

AND MAN TONIGHT
THERE IS NO HAND IN SIGHT
NO MR SANDMAN 
NOT THE FAINTEST FRIEND
AND THE BEAT OF YOUR HEART
LIKE A DEADLY CLAP
AND YOU JUST DON’T KNOW WHERE YOU’RE GOING

REELIN’ ROLLIN’
TOUGH WINDS BLOWIN’
WILL YOU MAKE IT TO THE NEXT BAR
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
HELL OF A TRAVELLING
BUT MAN YOU MADE IT SO FAR
NOT KNOWING WHO YOU ARE
WHERE YOU ARE AS LONG AS YOU ARE	

YOU’RE SUCH A GOOD BAD BOY
YES YOU ARE

THUNDER & LIGHTNING (Lyrics)

After darkness there´s light. Now I can see. A vocal and rhythmic improvisation after realizing it´s done. So damn cool to have overcome this process.

I love you now
And I loved you then
I loved you way back when…..
Everything was shiny and new
You know I had a Burnin’ Love for You
(Chorus)
It’s like a Hurt without the Pain
Like the Wet without the Rain
Like a Fire without a Flame
(Yes) Yet, it keeps on Burnin’ just the same
My Burnin’ Love for You
My Burnin’ Love for You
Oh Yeah, My Burnin’ Love for You
(Bridge)
For what is love if it blows away….
On the slightest windy day?
Do you think we’ll ever regret
All the things we should just forget?
And over all those years
The laughs, the hugs, the tears
We held on through thick and thin
Then, I loved you all over again
Oh, I loved you all over again
But, My Love still burns for You
And, My Love still burns for You

Track shows a very delicate theme and a quite hard-riffed part, both alternating and finally flowing up to an endless symphonic dream (words are half a poem I wrote previously (not these, but lyrics below)).

Letra  /  Translated lyrics:

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)  /  Don’t you wake up (Only a dream)

No... despierta... no... no despiertes  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up
no, cuidado... no despiertes, na na na na na...  /  no, take care ... don’t you wake up, na na na na na…
... despierta al fin y date cuenta  /  ... wake up at last and realize
de que todo ha sido un sueño, na na na na na...  /  everything has been a dream, na na na na na...

Una vez más, nervios y resentimiento,  /  Once again, nerves and resentment,
todo en mi vida es sueño, sólo ha sido eso.  /  everything in my life is a dream, it has only been so.

Y de nuevo, con el tiempo,  /  And again, with time,
incubando un nuevo sueño,  /  incubating a new dream,
me voy hundiendo en mis propios brazos,  /  I am sinking in my own arms,
me acuno, me canto y me voy acostumbrando...  /  cradle myself, sing to myself and get used...

Otro escenario, otros personajes,  /  Another stage, other characters,
la misma historia, na na na na na...  /  the same story, na na na na na...
que durará un día, un milenio,  /  which will last one day, a millenium,
toda mi vida, na na na na na...  /  all my life, na na na na na...

Pero sin duda vendrán a despertarme  /  But undoubtedly the laughs of people
las risas de la gente, alguna tarde.  /  will come to wake me up, any evening.

Y entonces, con miedo...  /  And then, fearfully...

No... despierta… no… no despiertes (…)  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up (…)

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)
