2018 Year End Roundup Of Great Music

The Lyrics 

Staring at my phone for too long
I know now that the signals still strong
with the flashing light in my line of sight
I know that somethings wrong
and I've been staring at my phone for too long

ohh maybe baby, I've got just what you need
and all i need from you is a touch of sympathy
she says baby, don't get me started
I told you what love is, and we ain't got none
so leave me alone

I should have known
I was nothin but a fool
yeah I should have known
there was nothin I could do
yeah I should have know
but i'm left here broken hearted
fighting myself as the clock reaches twelve
I know deep inside
I should have known

feeling like I've said too much
her coldness feels like more than just a touch
well in my mind, all these grand designs
have crumbled from the nudge
and i'm feeling like I've said too much

don't worry baby, I've got just what you need
and all I need from you is a touch of sympathy
she says baby, don't get me started
I told you what love is, and we ain't got none
so leave me alone

I should have known
I was nothin but a fool
yeah i should have known
there was nothin i could do
I should have know
but i'm left here broken hearted
fighting myself as the clock reaches twelve
I don't like to lose
next time i'll know

I Should've Known

I Should've Known (Acoustic Original)

Ideal for playlists like Smooth Jazz Essentials, Chill Jazz Vibes, and Contemporary Lounge, Skyline Serenade is not just an album but a listening experience—a soundtrack for modern sophistication. Whether streamed in a high-rise apartment, a rooftop lounge, or through headphones on a late-night walk, it invites listeners into an intimate, stylish world where every note feels like a conversation under moonlit skies.

Velvet Moonlight

Paper Skies drifts between tender pop ballads and shimmering indie pop anthems, blending heartfelt storytelling with melodies that linger long after the song ends. 🌅✨ Soft piano lines meet glowing synth textures and warm guitars, creating a soundtrack for love, loss, and everything in between.

The album captures the fragile beauty of fleeting moments — like clouds passing overhead — with both uplifting choruses and intimate ballads that tug at the heart. A perfect balance of dreamy atmosphere and emotional depth. 💙

Shadows & Cigarettes

Challenge was to make one of my shorter songs with one of my longer lyrics, so I 'had' to craft it into an amalgam of 9/4 and 4/4 signatures. Thus, it may feel crazy on verses but I hope also catchy on refrains.

Letra / Translated lyrics:

Sólo pido no tener deseos (Ya no quiero imaginar)  /  I ask only not to have desires (I don’t want to imagine anymore)

¿Puedes explicarme qué es lo que me pasa?  /  Can you tell me what happens to me?
Señor, llévate de mí esta confusión.  /  Lord, take away this confusion.
Quítame el don de la inteligencia,  /  Take the gift of intelligence from me,
pues si no pensara tanto, sería feliz.  /  because if I didn’t think so much, I would be happy.

Siento que este mundo me es extraño,  /  I feel this world is strange,
estoy a disgusto con mis sentidos.  /  I get displeasure from my senses.
No puedo comprender su funcionamiento,  /  I cannot understand their functioning,
ni siquiera amoldarme a él.  /  nor even get used to it.

Sólo pido no tener deseos,  /  I ask only not to have desires,
ya no quiero imaginarme nada.  /  I don’t want to imagine anything anymore.

Esta situación siempre es pasajera,  /  This situation is always temporary,
pero se repite una y otra vez.  /  but repeats itself again and again.
Este malestar de cuerpo y alma  /  This discomfort of soul and body
me hace desear dejar de ser.  /  makes me wish to stop being.  

Pienso entonces en todos los que me quieren,  /  Then I think of all those who love me,
o al menos en los que a veces lo parecen…  /  or at least about those who sometimes seem to…
¿Por qué es tan difícil la coexistencia  /  Why is coexistence so difficult
en medio de una sociedad inteligente?  /  in an intelligent society?

Sólo pido…  /  I ask only…

No deberías dejar pensar a algo imperfecto,  /  You should not allow something imperfect to think,
sino limitarlo a cumplir su función social.  /  but limit it to fulfilling its social role.
Sólo quiero ser un engranaje más, señor,  /  I only want to be one more cog, Lord,
en tu rebaño de almas, sin preguntas.  /  in your flock of souls, without questions.

Esta vida que me has dado, señor,  /  This life you have given me, Lord,
me tortura, de modos insospechados,  /  tortures me, in unsuspected manners,
a buscarle un sentido a mis dudas,  /  to look for a sense to my doubts,
lo cual, tal vez, sea precisamente su fin!  /  which, maybe, is precisely its purpose!

Sólo pido…  /  I ask only…

Take a chance,
And dare to hold my hand.
Steal a glance,
I might just look back.

Who will know
And who will dare to see
That you and I
Were simply meant to be
Were simply meant to be

Within reach,
I like to keep you close.
Speak to me,
Mellifluous prose.

Who will know
And who will dare to see
That you and I
Were simply meant to be
Were simply meant to be

Stay with me,
We’ve got the world to roam.
Where we’re gonna be,
With you it’s always home.

Take a Chance

New collaboration with Echosonica. When Elena showed me her beautiful piece of piano, I immediately felt my feet were leaving the ground and I just wanted to fly away...

Walk The Sky (Echosonica & Musicar)

My songs are like buses.......nothing for ages, then a bunch in quick succession!
When Hiroshi hinted to me that he would love to collab, I was delighted, as I very much admire his work! In due course I sent him a song, which he liked and said would be fun to work on.
Usually I keep my acoustic in my songs, as it is the backbone, keeping the rhythm and vibe. Hiroshi has replaced this with a fantastic bass which stays true to the original acoustic riff. From there he meticulously built it up and had the unenviable task of having to deal with my complex vocals. He said it was quite a challenge to organise the instrumentation , especially due to its unfamiliar combination between melody lines and chords, and to the unusual time signature at the beginning.
Thankfully he enjoyed the task and threw himself wholeheartedly in to it, which I think you will hear for yourself, as it is a powerful and dynamic  piece of work....and the guitar solo Epic!!
Thanks so much Hiroshi for all of your hard work! Listen to more of his fantastic work soundcloud.com/aerogene
A big prosperous July blood Moon to you all! xx

Music, lyrics and vocals by Irina

When the stars are out
And the night is new
I can see no stars
All I see is you
I can see no moon
Gliding through the skies
I'm forever lost
In your magic eyes

If you just say
I'd run away with you
I'd give my heart
I'd risk my life for you
But I'd stay away my love
If you only say my love

When the sun is up
And the day is due
I can see no sun
All I see is you
I can see no clouds
Gliding through the skies
I'm forever drowned
In your magic eyes

If you just say
I'd run away with you
I'd give my heart
I'd risk my life for you
But I'd stay away my love
If you only say my love

Sit down, let's talk about it
Pretend that it will work
Ask you one more time
Why do you always lurk?

I know that I'm not perfect
But you don't let me heal
Break my heart when you find me
I don't see the appeal

Maybe you're a sadist or you're just a little dim
You cannot bear being alone, you want to make me grim

No matter how I push you away
I always seem to be your broken girl
No matter how I push you away
I always seem to be your broken girl

You leave without a warning
Then you will come back strolling
Then you get angry with me
For my constant worry

You always say you love me
Those superficial words
Whenever you come back again
I feel like a caged bird

Maybe you're a sadist or you're just a little dim
You cannot bear being alone, you want to make me grim

No matter how I push you away
I always seem to be your broken girl
No matter how I push you away
I always seem to be your broken girl

Your Broken Girl

News: Well a lot I could say...but going through some issues right now.  So I am on occasionally...though a lot less than  I would like.   You are always my peeps and  I love you clouders as brothers and sisters.   Peace and love my friends!

Musician, Songwriter, Recording, Mixing, Mastering, Producer and general noise maker.   If you don't get that..that's on you!  

Tainted Icarus has a protest/grunge/rock type of feel.   Sharing a similar vibe and feel of great bands like Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Cult. 

Slogging it out my home studio and trying to understand the deep sorcery that is Music Recording, Mixing, Mastering.    Jesus if someone had told me how damn complicated the topic was... I might have reconsidered.   

I keep it real, listen to your music and comment.  Be supportive of myself and others and I have your back.  I stay out of the rampant game playing and focus on finding real people making music. Is that you? If so pull up a chair and PM me.  

It takes me a while to make the rounds.  If you are releasing a new track and want me to stop by sooner... send me a PM.  

Relax and enjoy a tune...or make one.  No need to run around in that haze of fury.  Peace and love!
