lets be friends

Rerecording of an Instrumental i made a year ago, will be on my upcoming album "Strange Songs for Weary Travellers"

1. Pharaoh's Jam

Hey…. Did this song go in so many directions until this final recording. It started as an electric slide song, then a mandolin song, and finally as an acoustic guitar/recorder song. You know I laugh every time I play recorder. Just imagine a rough and scrappy, wild old man creating such a thing. Hahahahaha. Anyway, there are a lot of crows here. When I was working on the slide version, I heard them cawing outside as they flew by. (I scrapped my impromptu birdcall crowing on this, no one needs to hear that, not even the crows.) Lyrically the song has 2 distinct moods with some vocal transitioning. And guess what folks: As a novice singer, I can finally vibrato my voice… some more shenanigans you’ll have to put up with. Back to the crows. In town, we have a huge flock (murder) of town crows. Hundreds. They sure love fast food, and hanging out by the high school where tasty, tossed tidbits can be had. They are organized too, as if in an air force, as they are mostly wary of us humans… Finally, happy holidays to all who celebrate, and happy times to everyone else. Hope you enjoy this one. I sure did. Mark

As The Crow Flies

lyrics

You're so pretty the birds are singing
The sun is out but I, I can't catch a feeling
Feeling
I went to your show, the people were laughing
The people were clapping, you were crying
I couldn't catch a feeling

Oh Lord, Where do I go?
When I have no emotions?
I can't, I can't catch it
I can't catch a feeling
Can't catch a feeling

A plane went down in the middle of town
Killed a vet who was begging for change as a clown
I can't catch a feeling
I don't do drugs and I'm gluten free
But that don't stop people from gossiping about me
Can't catch a feeling 

Oh Lord, Where do I go?
Where do I go now?
When I can't find emotion?
When I can't get all upset, or happy, or glad, or sad?

I just can't, I just can't catch a feeling
I search, can't catch a feeling

I search
I search...

Can't Catch a Feeling v2

So this is what happens when you magically turn a happy little banjo into an electrified dancing monster ! Experimenting with country /blue grass elements and electronic genres....Something a little different.

Au-dessus du volcan
Tout fout le camp
Tout fout le camp

Y’a pas qu’au Vatican
Qu’il y a des sièges vacants
Qu’tout fout le camp

Moi j’étais pratiquant
Peut-être un peu trop croyant
Sûr un peu trop confiant
Quand tu as foutu le camp
Tout fout le camp

C’est pas que j'm'y attendais
Parce que j’m’y attendais pas
Moi à nous j’y croyais
Toi visiblement pas

Quand on n’a pas la foi
C’est souvent qu’ça dure pas
J’peux pas dire qu’j’t’en veux pas
Penché au-dessus de l’Etna

Au-dessus du volcan
Tout fout le camp
Tout fout le camp

Y’a pas qu’au Vatican
Qu’il y a des remplaçants
Qu’tout fout le camp

Moi j’étais pratiquant
Peut-être un peu non voyant
J’croyais qu’on avait le temps
Quand tu as foutu le camp
Tout fout le camp

Maint’nant j’sais plus quoi faire
J’ai plus aucun repère
J’t’imagine en enfer
Avec moi sous les fers
Mais c’est toi Lucifer

Qu’est-ce qu’il fout ce volcan
Parait qu’il est vivant
Ça serait bien qu’il explose
Qu’j’puisse passer à autre chose



Au-dessus du volcan

Jamming with noise and orquestra sounds with random synth beats in a static ambient.

Mixing with other takes in post production.

Story time. February seems to bring out my dark side.  Here we have a very bad man about to have his sentence fulfilled. In it, he will receive his final "song". The same "song" that his victims received. 

Lyrics;
Piper
I pay the Devil's dues
This Piper's lost the tune
Like the many souls who sang my song
I leave this world too soon

I'm not seeking mercy
Not asking to be saved
I'm not looking for forgiveness
For deeds deemed depraved

The doctor stands beside me
His hand rests on my head
Strapped in, I can not move
As I lay upon the bed

The singers sang the Piper's song
And I set those voices free
I was writing songs days one and two
And I played them on day three

Now bring your music doctor
I look forward to your tune
Inject me with a melody
'til my beating heart's consumed
Not quite a requiem
But I accept this honorarium
For the music that I gave them
The music moving through me
From my shoulders to my hands
I feel the final chorus
Banishing the damned

Darkness overcomes me
I receive the Devil's kiss
No sight or sound or focus
As I sink through the abyss

I pay the Devil's dues
This Piper's lost his song
Yet beating in the darkest hearts
The Piper's music carries on

The Piper

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
