In the presence of superb musicians in this recording. Stephan is delightfully playful with his guitar riffs, and Jamie offers a slice of keyboard  heaven along with the steady bass and percs with enough space to allow some magical guitar work to go along for the ride. I liked that little bongo/timbale drift as a pause (1:34) and breath before going back at it. That contrast sets things up. I liked the heavy kick at 2:20, nice drift to the end. Great start to 2024!

Great sound and performance by all guys!! God bless your art! Cooool!

Superb phrasing; edgy yet smooth.  Love this kind of rain dance.

lyrics:

You explain how I feel
Pulled your strings
Of excuses
Make them real
So you don't have to listen to 
What I say

Maybe I am going crazy...
Cause it's hard to look inside

I want a way out of this
But you can't hear me
I want to stop all of this
But you won't slow down
I want an ending worth while
But you don't want it to end at all
And I'm still left feeling...
On my own...

Are you serious?

ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

Let them drain
I will adjust to whatever the soul demands
Even if I am killing myself
Even if I am killing myself...

My marionette
You explain how I feel
You pulled your string of excuses
Make them real
So you don't have to listen to
What I say, hey 

I want a way outta' this
But you can't hear me
I want to stop all of this
But you won't slow down
I want an ending worth while
(Are you serious?)
But you don't want it to end at all
(Are you serious?)
And I'm still left feeling...
on my own
(Are you serious?)

My Marionette

"Clotilda" is the infamous slave ship that brought Africans into America... 
it's coded in faded vocal samples, and chill instrumentation. It is the first single from the my latest album, "Diaspora", out now on Bandcamp. "Calm the waters"..  🙏 much love.

CLOTILDA

We're Not Gonna Stop.

Lyrics:

Forest Giants

On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
I'm on my way
I'm on my way

Hey loner
Come over
To my forest
It's getting warmer
Stay hidden
Forbidden
It's written on the wind

On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
On
I'm on my way
I'm on my way

Forest Giants

Rain Dance - Stephan Lipinski / Jamie Rhind

My first own composition with designed vocals.
I'm a total amateur so sorry for all the bad parts.

Special thanks goes to my all testdrivers and especially to @r-u-r-pl for his all advices and for a breakthrough that I made on this one after 1,5 month of no bloody idea.

Lyrics was generated by freshbots.org algorythms and a bit changed to my vision. English is not my first language of use so if something doesn't make sense then blame my (non)understanding. It was more like fun making. An artistic way to express for "better" listening.

Main sense was about kind of sick, crazy love, unrequited that drive us to the edge of sense of good and evil. This is the kind of love with our suffering that hurts us and others. And when we can't balance the feeling we go over the edge. And all around must go with us. Especially the ONE.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

In the haze of dusk, you stumble, lost and weary
Can't see the light, but you feel my eyes nearly
Run from me, I'm always behind, you will see
I hide between shadows, just trust your plea

Pre-Chorus:

Keep your chest safe, guard your beating soul
In the depths of darkness, I'll take my toll

Chorus:

Run like hell, can't you hear the alarms?
My presence lurking, causing you harm
Stay in the light, where safety resides
Don't let my darkness become a guide

Verse 2:

Memories fading, just a jumble in your mind
But in your heart, I'll leave my mark undefined
I'll weave in your thoughts, my dagger in your back
Your pumping heart, my trophy from this track

Pre-Chorus:

Keep your chest safe, there's danger in my stare
For I am the creeping nightmare, you're unaware

Chorus:

Run like hell, don't let my shadow prevail
For I won't cease until I unveil
Stay in the light, where truth can’t be shown
Escape the grips of darkness, stand on your own

Bridge:

In the whispers of the night, my whispers so cold
But remember, dear one, you're brave and bold
Though I am relentless, you still have a chance
To break free from my grip and reclaim your stance

Reclaim your stance
To break free
You still have a chance
You still have a chance
You still have a chance
You still have a chance!

Chorus:

So run like hell, leave my echoes behind
In the face of fear, your strength, you'll find
I am the shadow, fading into the night. 
I can see your defiance, will you take the fight?
Run like hell, don't let me get near.
My spirit is the dark. You will always live in fear!

Fun fact:
When I've tried to sing this for a few first sessions, verse "For I am the creeping nightmare, you're (...)" sounds mostly ...different... Constant changing the sentence "unaware" into "underwear" makes me not finished the performance because of permanent laughs on myself. Hope I would never have to sing this on live session because my "professional" sense will never let me skip the mistake unnoticed.

Took my old dance tune "Dance, Baby, Dance" and sent it to Xian3 to see what he would do with it.  He came through (as always in my opinion) with these nice dark vocals and lyrics.  I then mixed it in a semi-dub mode to give it an edgy feel.

DAW: Reason 12
VSTs: Nexus, Omnisphere, and other Synths.

The Same

1.
This same complacant attitude
The same intrusive looks
The same clucking of the tongues
Those same obscene gestures
The same superior habit

Simply disgusting
Who taught you that? (rep)
How disgusting

2.
The same aggressive smell of greed
And derogatory words
So mean and vile
The same hateful comments
Bring out only the worst truth (social)

Simply disgusting
Who taught you that?

ref 1
Brows may crease in sorrow
If it only were tomorrow
That you were to decide again

Brows may crease in sorrow
If it only were tomorrow
That you would have to decide again

Huh,
That would never be the same

ref 2
Eyes narrowed in sorrow
If it only were tomorrow
That you were to decide again

Eyes narrowed in sorrow
If it only were tomorrow
That you would have to decide again

Huh,
Or would it just be the same ?

The Same (collab with Xian3)

sorry seems to be (elton john/ cover)

I don't know what to say, I should just shut up and let you enjoy the catchy intro, cause once you heard that you will want to keep listening till the end!
