Vocal Sampling: Psychedelic Revolution
Batgrowl: Psychedelic Revolution
Instrumental Mix: B Steele

Added some world vocal samples in the intro. I think it’s in Gaelic. Was inspired by Deshi Basara by Hans Zimmer but I wanted to give the chanting a melody. Piano progression was something I played for years and finally developed. Had no idea I had a bit of Dorian thrown in the arpeggios. There’s also some slap bass for the chorus. The strings incorporate the vocal melody and there’s also a dorian #4 in the verses. 

Lyrically, I took lines from The Dark Knight Rises. It’s basically another song of mine about self empowerment. 

Batman: “What does it mean?”
Old Wise Guy: “Fuck if I know. I just downloaded the vocal sample from online.”

Isostasie - featuring: JOERXWORX Synth Solo RMX

I've got seven bottles of water.
Two more to piss in.
I'd like to get things sorted.
But I don't know where to begin.
I'm glad I tore myself apart.
I didn't know which way to start.
What was begun?
I'll know that answer when I'm done.

My brothers are little rich kids.
My sister is the same.
While I'm stealing firelighters.
Living just to clear my name.
I've just one question before we start.
Should I be taking this to heart?
What's mine is mine?
I'll find out somewhere down the line.

My friends are going crazy.
Chase American dreams.
And I would join their party,
But I don't know what that means.
The 'truth' is nonsense, it would seem.
They're living someone else's dream.
Sit worlds apart.
I should have realised from the start.

I'm starting now to see.
(You) Don't create a thing for me.
Seem half destroyed by infamy.
Consider this, my litany.
Sulphides will rot away your heart.
I took a look back to the start.
No chosen one.
Your shadows blocking out my sun.

What's done is done.

Sometimes, I really feel.
Like no one can beat me.
But then I go and lose again,
You know the outcome by the end 
You know it just don't bother me.
I'm used to losing it would seem.
A sacred art.
That I've been learning from the start.

Six, E, Q, U, J, Five, Wow!
It isn't fucking aliens.
Get back down to earth now. 
There is no value to your art.
You should of known this from the start.
You're not divine.
Despite the memories in your mind.

Apeman, spaceman, later than creation.
Homebird, prison, from whence has arisen?
Lord, will you still my beating heart?
I should of known it from the start.
What's done is done.
They never said you were the one.

What's done is done.
What's done is done.

What's Done is Done

Necesito tu presencia

Ahora que estás a gran distancia
y que mi ser lamenta tu ausencia
es cuando he caído en la cuenta
de lo mucho que me haces falta.

La vida esta vez me ha enseñado
y he de pagar muy caro el ejemplo
que para apreciar lo que tenemos
hace falta que… ¡que lo perdamos!

Estribillo

Por eso mi amor quiero que sepas
que mi vida, si tú no estás cerca, 
no tiene fundamento ni razón
porque necesito tu presencia
para justificar mi existencia
y no sentirme oveja sin pastor.

------------    

Recorro otra vez los mismos sitios
por donde fui feliz de tu mano
pues aunque me produce un gran daño
hace que también sienta un alivio.

La vida esta vez me ha enseñado
y he de pagar muy caro el ejemplo
que para apreciar lo que tenemos
hace falta que… ¡que lo perdamos!

Estribillo

I need your presence

Now that you're far away
and that my being regrets your absence
That's when I realized
of how much I miss you.

This time life has taught me
and I have to pay dearly for the example
that to appreciate what we have
We need to... lose it!

Chorus

That's why my love I want you to know
that my life, if you are not around,
It has no basis or reason
because I need your presence
to justify my existence
and not feel like a sheep without a shepherd.

------------

I visit the same places again
where I was happy with your hand
Well, although it causes me great harm
It also makes me feel relieved.

This time life has taught me
and I have to pay dearly for the example
that to appreciate what we have
We need to... lose it!

Chorus

Shorter Days Ahead

I was messing around, like the non-musician I am, with Udio, and this tune popped out. I realised it would work for a poem I'd had in mind for a while, inspired by the old folk tale by Hans Christian Andersen, The Red Shoes. It still needed some help though from an actual musician. So here it is ... with an excellent arrangement and gorgeous cover art by @APi_ZZ.

Words: 

There’s nothing like a fairy dancer
Escaping out of your dreamworld, 
You can chase him upstairs and downstairs, 
But it’s impossible to get him out.
In the Land of the Ever Young
It was so romantic as we did the fandango,
But now there’s the washing up. 
He was very fine as my dream beau,
But oh no! Here he comes again. 

He drives me mad, all day long, 
Even when I’m in the loo 
But the real scarey thing is, 
I’ve heard about this in songs,
From folk tales about red shoes 
In which good and fair women
are danced to their dooms. 

I tried locking him in the greenhouse,
Well it gave me a few minutes peace.
But it wasn’t long before he broke out 
And the splintered glass cut my feet.
I even shut him in the bathroom
So I could get on with my chores,
Then there I was in the kitchen,
Plunging out my drains, 
When he tapped me on the shoulder
And, oh no, we were off again!  

He drives me mad, all day long, 
Even when I’m in the loo 
So it’s starting to seem like
It might be true, and not just
In tales about red shoes 
That I’ll be joining those women
Who are danced to their dooms.

Fairy Fandango

Caught in your trap of lies lies lies
Misdirection belies your mind

It’s been a while
And I still feel the acid burn from your eyes

It’s been a while
Since I’ve felt Alive
Since I’ve smiled

It’s been a while
It’s been a while
Since I was a
Caught in your trap of lies lies lies
Misdirection belies your mind

It’s nice to be
Someone that is
admired
By you

It’s nice to be
Someone that is
Inspired by you

Day 1 (Fear & Hope)

Never Tear Us Apart (live cover)

Genocide, June 2025:
Israel is only the executioner, every nation which has armed that country in the past year is an accessory to that genocide, an accomplice, a facilitator.  We cannot talk about war crimes because when you target unarmed civilians, mostly women and children, we are talking about a massacre, like terrorists do, not a war. The people who orchestrated that massacre, in the US, the most duplicitous, followed by those of the UK, Germany, France, and probably a few lesser ones should be tried for crimes against humanity just as well as Netanyahu and his cabinet, because it has been going on for two years, generously reported by media of all kinds, so the enablers knew exactly how the arms were to be used, as a tool for revenge, domination, and humiliation of the Palestinian people.  The conflict has ceased to be about the defense of anything for months.

The parties responsible have made a mockery of decency, morals, fairness, proportion, or justice, not to mention empathy.  Of what little there was, these concepts will be a lot longer to come back than they were to be struck down.  

Is it 1984 already?!?!

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

...

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.

I

I've had no formal training in music, sound engineering or anything, just time, patience and practice. I'd say I've written well over a thousand songs in my life. Most of them thrown away, but some make it here and other platforms.

My aim with music is to just write whatever i want to write. If that means experimenting with genres and not doing what's popular, then so be it. I know that this is technically a popularity contest, but whatever. If a handful of people like my tunes, then I'm pretty happy. I've never had any intent to make money from this endeavour - but hey if somehow, somewhere it happens... then I aint gonna say no.

My music charts my philosophical views, my perceptions on how other people see life, words and phrases I've heard while meditating and crazy stuff my brain tells me when my mental health is suffering. In some instances, I try to be relatable but I’d also be worried if you relate to my words.

I hope you enjoy my music - and if you do let me know via comment or message. I'm always up for a chat.
