Sounds great, lovely vocals! Reminds us of Four And A Penny, Jefferson Airplane and Critical Error. Very cool! :)

LYRICS BELOW

Standin’ on the beach
Lookin’ at the sun set
But I can't see the things
Everyone sees

Tryin' so hard
To channel some magic
So I can feel the things
Everyone feels

Aah!   Aah!

Walkin down the street
I'm an aberration
In a cloud of visions
That no one can see

Feel my own beat
Got my own equation
'Cause I don't read the books
Everyone reads

Aah!  Aah!

You feel that awe, you feel that wonder
Mystery feelings inside
You saw the lightning and heard the thunder 
I didn't even see the rain outside

I'm wearing my wings 
to reach your constellation 
But I can't fly as high as
Everyone flies

Baby I want you
But I'm a freak of nature
You know I'm everything
That people despise
 
Aah!  Aah!  Aah!

A powerful song about a soldier who's stationed abroad in a war stricken zone and deeply longs for his precious family as everything is now washed away and gone. The cold and dusty haze, the land that's all torn up and distraught has simply become all too much to bear.

War is never pretty and so let us give love and deep gratitude to our veterans, to the soldiers who sacrifice/d and bring great justice and freedom to all...they are also suffering tremendous mental torture...the dark remnants of what they endured is forever lingering inside them...let us help make a difference by showing our deep regard and respect...to also give love and understanding, to help them recover and feel happiness again - May this song fill everyone up with endless love and positivity - XO

Thank you so much Dear Colin for Family, this magnificent reigning work of pop-rock art...Your music is an absolute joy to me...your friendship and belief in me keep me bliss-fully-hyped-up-&-energized....My deepest heartfelt gratitude and love for all that you have given me on Milky Ocean and now on Family...I look so forward to our next songs together,  Rekha - XO-XO-XO

Family – Music & Lyrics by REKHA a.k.a. REKHA - IYERN [Fe], (Written on Feb 22nd, 2020)

My head is full of precious memories
Sweet and Dear
Where I long to be
With my family who love me
Wo-Oo, Wo-Oh, Oh-Oh  

The time has come when all is in the past
I’m finally free, free at last
Wo-Oo, Wo-Oo-Wo
No more call of special duty
For all is washed away and gone
But I am still strong
Holdin’ on, on, on  
Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh

Chorus

Family, family
How I just wanna be with my family
The one’s who’ll wait
The one’s who’ll always  
Stand by me, (Ee-Ee-Ee-Ee)

Family, my family  
(Nothing’s ever gonna break us apart)

I feel alone, so alone
In the cold and dusty haze
Far abroad in the land
All torn up and distraught
I tried so hard to help the people
I tried my best  
But couldn’t, couldn’t save them all
(Sometimes I feel so small)

Family, family
How I just wanna be with my family
The one’s who’ll wait
The one’s who’ll always  
Stand by me
Hey-Ee, Eh-Ee-Yeah
Family, my family

(Break)

I am so weak
And just need my strength
You can only get it back  
From those who truly love me  

Family, family
The one’s I love
The one’s who I want
So, so near, we’re made
Hoh-Oo, Wo-Oo, Wo-Oo, Oh-Oo-Wo

(Outro)

Family, family
Yeah-Yeah
My precious family
Precious family
Oh Yeah

You took my breath away
It was so sublime
It rained on my parade
The unrhymable song

Whistle down the wind
It was so surreal
Out of time
The unrhymable song

She moves and grooves me
In a special way
Which comes from way down deep inside
She moves and grooves me
Nearly every single day
Every day of our lives

I know that I can't be with you
I know I tried and you did too

Glasgow morning rain
It was so unreal
Down and out
The unrhymable song

Whistle down the wind
It was so surreal
Out of time
The unrhymable song

She moves and grooves me
In a special way
Which comes from way down deep inside
She moves and grooves me
Nearly every single day
Every day of our lives

I know that I can't be with you
I know I tried and you did too

Glasgow morning rain
It was so unreal
Down and out
The unrhymable song

Glasgow Morning Rain

That Old Bridge

We  hope you are having a great Summer!  A lonely old man trying to deal with overwhelming loss.  A pretty sad song.😏
Hope you like it!

Lyrics;
The old bridge spans the gully
And still it's standing strong
But no one's been across it
In oh so very long

And this old house I'm living in
Is much more than a home
It shares the sweetest memories
My world's ever known

I see the mountains
On a moonlit night
Where ghosts of the past
Will take their flight

The stars shine in the heavens
As if to to let me know
That I'm not alone
In this old house below

And I know you are watching
From out there up high
You shine with stars
As I look to the sky

Sometimes it seems hard
To get up every day
I miss you in the morning
And the funny things you'd say

When the wind's blowing gently
I hear your name
Close my eyes and see your face
And so briefly feel no pain

Looking out the window
II'll watch the world go by
The seasons come and go
Tears still fill my eyes

And the old bridge spans the gully
And still it's standing strong
But no one's been across it
In oh so very long

That Old Bridge

Work It Out (ft. Brad Sucks)

This song is dedicated to my gran Phyllis Tewson whose husband died in his fifties. She lived in the same house on her own until she couldn’t look after herself in her late eighties. She was an inspiration to me and she never complained about her lot. Always took an interest in young people and was enthusiastic about all the crap that I shared with her in spite of my naivety. I think about her a lot.

Improvisation, electric and acoustic guitar.

https://soundcloud.com/specialvocals/aca-meme-planete - this free acapella by Special Cecilia was the icing on a track I've been working on.  I've used a vocal pitch tool to make the vocals suit my track, so if there's  any strange effects: my responsibility - I hope I succeeded ! Enjoy !!! ------ My solo: played with the Akai EWI + the awesome Respiro VSTi by imoxplus / Belgium

Enfants de l'Univers // Vocals & lyrics by Special Cecilia

Bored of being stuck in bed ill and weak (nothing bad), I plugged my tele and keyboard straight into my iPad. The bass idea is borrowed. Built the rest around it.
