The addition of vocals gives this concept all the beauty it should have .... You've put a lot of yourself into this, with these superb harmonies .... It's a bold mix, and a perfect one too.

a very beautiful song sung in your native language Iryna

Seems to be an endless repeated theme for me ~ running away to the countryside, and in recent years this has been the Australian wilderness, from the deep south to the far north.

Dedicated to, and featuring Gary Reeves (aka Mountain Songs) on drums and cymbals (remixed) at the start. Banjo, lap slide guitar (acting as bass), beats and vox by myself. This song is for Gary, who has been a wonderful musical compadre for many of us around the world, via this  Soundcloud Village.

Respect and acknowledgement to the Traditional Owners of the lands, waters and skies in this video, both in Australia and New Zealand. Particular thanks to the Yolgnu people of Gapuwiyak who made me feel so welcome during my short visit to Arnhem Land last year.

Looking Up & Down      Song, recording, audio & video July 2023 - Chris Okunbor (APRA)
I was chained to the city, thinking I could fly,
I gazed at the heavens as the clouds rolled high.
Long, long days working to the plan,
I changed my way of living and I left that town.

Now I'm higher than the mountains, looking down below,
rolling miles above cotton candy snow.
Way beyond the city, just going with the flow.
running to freedom to a place unknown.

Got a window seat, got a beer in hand.
Feeling in my heart for this ancient land.
Well, wild rivers snake,  jeweled seas shine.
Djerimanga Songlines are spinning out my mind.

Higher than the mountains, and the madding crowd,
cruising miles above cotton fields of cloud.
Way beyond the city, going with the flow,
running to freedom, to a place unknown.
To a place unknown.

The picture shows a detail out of „Guernica“ (1937, oil on canvas) by Pablo Picasso (1881-1973)


The Mare


1

Guernica, the holy city of the Basques, 

Is located east of Bilbao in northern Spain.

It became known worldwide when it was

Attacked by german and italian fighter planes 


More than 85 ys ago

During the Spanish Civil War 

Bombed the city into rubbles and ashes

And everyone else who lived there before


Guernica, one of the first airborne bombardments 

Aiming to eradicate civilians and other innocents

There`s no color, there’s no depth 

And for sure there’s no relief 

From your point of view


It’s monochrome and cubistic,

It makes your stomach tighten up,

When you think about everything that's happened ever since then and, 

Above all,

What is yet to come ?

What’s next upon the sleeve ?


3

There is a long and 

Pointed, deadly spear 

Piercing right through the chest

That’s like a manifest 


Just look into the frantic eyes of the dying horse

And you know and feel immediately, what’s goin’ on

It makes one wonder who the hell is comitting thus 

And for fucks sake what is basically wrong with us 


There`s no color, there’s no depth 

And for sure there’s no relief 

From your point of view

No matter what point you may choose


Will the victors again 

be writing down the history ?

It was the victors backthen,

Who wrote down history long ago.

Soloveyko. A Tribute to My Heritage

Last year I thought I better write myself a Halloween tune. I never managed to finish it in 2022, but now it's here. It's a stupid (Stephen King-Like) little horror story. Hope you won't be too scared. Release on other platforms will be Friday the 13th of October 2023.

There’s a video too:

Time OF Awakening

Hello Folks, 

Welcome to my humble page! A little about me: Mid 30s  business lady by day, music obsessed creative fiend by night. I do mean OBSESSED….Music lives in my head and can not stop coming out of it! I grew up listening  to  all kinds of music so my  creations have been influenced by live instruments and orchestral melodies marrying the  beat and rhythm of dance music.  Piano - trained and a hobby vocalist of sorts , music is  how I deal with the world.  As of 2024 , embarking on a  journey to learning the guzheng and cello. Some paint some build, some write… This girl tells stories with her music.  Take a pause and listen. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy setting  them loose into the world ! 

Ps.  If you are an artist, message me if you would like to collaborate. I enjoy bringing musical creations to life :) 

Ps. 2: If you are an agent or a business wanting to get in touch with me regarding commissioning or commercial music projects, please note I WILL NOT respond to any messages of this nature, UNLESS they contain the following information: your full name and the name of the business you represent, your LinkedIn profile, description of the project you are needing help with and your PROFESSIONAL contact information. 

Cheers, 

Iryna
