3rd song in and they’re all winners so far

Didn't even know you had these side pages. Shame on me. haha. :)

Perfect example of why I love your music. It is so whimsical; and often feels like a live performance in a dusty saloon of days of old. :)

So very charming. Great lyrics too. Bravo to all involved.

i love hearing more of you and the problem.  what a treat!!

Rapid fire and super creative. Love those little harmony fills.

Great song ! Very nice piano playing and vocal harmonies !

Thanks for all your comments and playlists on "Sow Your Seeds," you all Rock!!!! Pt. 1

J'ai écrit les paroles et j'ai composé la musique de cette chanson.
Les arrangements ont été faits avec Band-in-a-Box (guitares) et Suno AI (voix, violon ).

Faut pas s’app’ler Einstein
Pour savoir qu’un instant
N’est que très relatif
Face à l’usure du Temps
Les grains du Sablier
S’avalent comme des pilules
Quand on n’les digère plus
Les accrocs s’accumulent

Les plages de sable fin
Deviennent sables mouvants
Les relations humaines
S’enlisent le plus souvent
Des exceptions existent
Entre gens tolérants
Dont l’ego modéré
N’est pas prépondérant

Faut pas s’app’ler Einstein
Pour faire sienne cette formule :
" A trop se fréquenter,
On risque la bascule ! "  
Les grains du Sablier
S’avalent comme des pilules
Quand on n’les digère plus
Les accrocs s’accumulent

Faut pas s'app'ler Einstein

Mare Tranquilitatis

Just around the corner

I am a frozen statue, watching seasons come and go, feeling changes, doing nothing, forever...
Last movement of the rock symphony, where I pay tribute to, and play, my mom's spanish guitar.
Main theme (bass E1-A1...E1-A1-E2...), appears all along the album, and also main themes of other 3 movements sound here as refrains (Vienen y van / Hora tras hora) which are thus sung over 4 different musics ;) E-Ruizzo project is finished, what's to come?... below translated lyrics.

SE NOTA (PRIMAVERA EN EL POLO)  /  ONE CAN FEEL IT (SPRING AT THE POLE)

Se nota… después de seis meses  /  One can feel it… after six months
el sol amanece y se nota…  /  the sun dawns and one can feel it …

En el despertar del zorro ártico,  /  In the awakening of the arctic fox,
en el fluir de los glaciares se nota.  /  in the flow of the glaciers one can feel it.
En el nacimiento de icebergs,  /  At the birth of icebergs,
en los acantilados poblados de aves.  /  on the cliffs populated by birds.

Vienen y van, no me hacen caso,  /  They come and go, they don’t listen to me,
soy sitio de paso.  /  I’m a transit point.
Hora tras hora, los meses pasan,  /  Hour after hour, months pass through,
un sitio de paso soy.  /  I’m a transit point.

Se nota… como cada mañana,  /  One can feel it… as every morning,
que la primavera ha llegado al Polo.  /  that spring has come to the Pole.

Se nota…  /  One can feel it…

En la migración del narval,  /  In the migration of narwhal,
en el aliento del viento,  /  in the breath of the wind,
en las nubes que huyen de él, se nota.  /  in the clouds that run away from it, one can feel it.

En el canto de las sirenas,  /  In the singing of mermaids,
en las inflorescencias de hielo,  /  in the inflorescences of ice,
en el paso del noroeste se nota.  /  in the Northwest Passage one can feel it.

Vienen y van, no me hacen caso,  /  They come and go, they don’t listen to me,
soy para todos un sitio de paso,  /  I am a transit point for all of them,
(soy) una estatua de hielo (soy),  /  (I am) an ice statue (I am),
(soy) una estatua de hielo (soy).  /  (I am) an ice statue (I am).

Vienen y van…  /  They come and go…

¡¡¡ La frecuencia diaria del proceso estacional  /  The daily frequency of the seasonal process
me permite hacer estudios estadísticos !!!  /  allows me to do statistical studies !!!
Ja ja ja ja ja ja jaaaa !!!  /  Ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaa !!!

Vienen y van…  /  They come and go…

Hora tras hora, los meses pasan,  /  Hour after hour, months pass through, 
nuevos migrantes, nunca se cansan,  /  new migrants, they never get tired,
(soy) una estatua de hielo (soy).  /  (I am) an ice statue (I am).
(soy) una estatua de hielo (soy).  /  (I am) an ice statue (I am).

Hora tras hora…  /  Hour after hour…

Se nota…  /  One can feel it…

Now all 44 songs I wrote with mom's guitar in my university years have been arranged and posted, 
after 8 years of E-Ruizzo project, which I'm about to finish. I plan to stay here, commenting as 
usual, and post future and still not scheduled songs from another profile. That's all, no alarm!

All For Nothing (Collaboration with Paploviante)

This is a song about getting back out into the world and re-connecting.
We are all part of this planet if we like it or not and we have to live with it and try to survive ,nature has ways of making us remember this and sometimes its a hard lesson to learn ,but there is still a world of wonder and much to see,feel and discover on our journey though life

Rebound - Special Cecilia Collab

Conquering and ruling cultures often oppress those they dominate. The oppressed, and those with less power, will always eventually seek justice, representation, and equal power from their subjugators. Those whose culture have been vilified, repressed, and appropriated can regain their power and love by learning about their past, choosing and identifying their cultural heroes for themselves, and restoring their appreciation and celebrations for their ancestors.  

May this song encourage an honest look into your past, acknowledging both the shadow and the light, appreciating the beauty of what was and is, and learning from accomplishments and mistakes to continue our evolution in becoming better co-creators with the planet.

I used some of a bass stem Alpha Roots sent me to make Red Earth Clay and I used the rest of the stem to make Sow Your Seeds. I have one unused bass and drum stem from Alpha Roots that I will make an old school hip hop song with and I may remix his original Hosanna bass stem one day to make a new reggae song. I may also ask Russ if I can make a version of Da Weed using Alpha Roots’ stems one day. After that, I may be complete unless I get gifted some Alpha Roots stems to play with. 

Huge thanks to Chiefo who set the original tone of this song which gave me inspiration for  the lyrics. Big ups to Fady, bit zone, and Lady of Fire Poetry for joining in on this project and adding their collective vibe. Massive thanks to Wou-Wou & the Wormling for keeping the track on skank with his rhythm guitar and for providing us with his incredible art work - commission him for some work y’all!!! And massive thanks to Russell and the Chaos Cookhouse for mixing and mastering these stems into the huge dubbed out joint that it is. Hit Russ up for his mixing and mastering services now!!!

Lyrics:

Know your roots and your culture 
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey 
Rock your roots and your culture 
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey 

Get to know your roots and your culture
Who you be now 
Know your history now 
So you can see now 
Where you wanna sow your seeds now 
Where you wanna sow your seeds now
Hey ey ey
Hey ey ey 

Gonna build on that which went before I 
Try and build on that which went before I 
Never knew who I was 
Dem try and control my 
Never knew who I was 
Dem try and control my
 Destiny with suppression and lies 
Deny that my ancestors were wise 
Revise my story with your wicked eyes  so others will despise 
And overlook the great civilizations that my people built 
Likewise likewise likewise

Unaware of history your destined to repeat it 
Only hear deceitful stories and we’re likely to concede to it 
Take away the leaders from our culture to unseat it 
Take away our dreams from our spirit to defeat it 
Replace dem with your poor role models and everyone believes in it 
Replace dem with your hopelessness and everyone perceives it 
But Jah lion shines bright in us and we only need to see it 
Jah lion is shining bright in us and all we need to do is reveal it

This one was developed and recorded one afternoon about a year ago with Jose (the Problem) when no one was thinking about mics or recording quality or nuthin', and I can’t really remember what we did. I opened it back up a few weeks ago and did a little editing. But it was basically live. I was playing v-drums somewhere back there with a little speaker, while Jose played piano with at least one mic. We may have added the vocals separately. I don’t know. I just don’t know.

Tales From a Midnight Bucket
                            Janine Levinson & Jose Freitas

It pours on me from a midnight bucket somewhere in my chest
Getting cold, maybe tears, maybe oil, maybe blood
I don't know

It hounds me so from a twisted chair squeaking as it rocks
Burn my ears, maybe cries, maybe songs, maybe pleading
I don't know

Just my black heart, my injured soul
No place for love   
No place for hope
It’s me and my black soul  

It gets a hold: a wire machine with poison in the gears
Bitter oil, maybe pitch, maybe tar, maybe grease
I don't know

It’s underneath my parchment skin and worms its way to light
Maybe bugs, maybe hair, maybe bone, maybe bile 
I don’t know

Just my black heart, my injured soul
No place for love   
No place for hope
It’s me and my black soul     
ooooooooh!

Strings of tar
Rising twister helpless in the rancid air
Cataract stars 
Fraying leather 
Helpless in the rancid air

It shoots in me a spear of ice freezing in my chest
Getting cold, maybe tears, maybe soil, maybe gone
I don't know  

It undermines my blistered soles and forces me to crawl
Maybe dirt, maybe worms, maybe flesh, maybe gold 
I don’t know 

Just my black heart, my injured soul
No place for love   
No place for hope
It’s me and my black soul

The Midnight Bucket (Live) (Probably)

This is for my beautiful granddaughter Aliyah, who has just learned to crawl.

Birdwatching 

Point your eyes up to the trees and keep your ears wide open
Stand right next to me and keep your mouth closed
Stay light on your feet and hear the whip a whip a whistle
Stand right next to me and keep your mouth closed!

I promise you it’s worth your time  and now the part that matters
Is the language of the flying things, the words you can’t imagine
Telling stories from the tops of trees 
Of feathers web and worms and swarming bees!      
When we go birdwatching
            
Your binoculars are key keep them aimed up at the trees
listen carefully and keep your mouth closed!
It’s difficult at first It could be bells or wood or metal
As you open up your ears I know you heart will follow

Oh, little one, it’s worth your time and now it’s all that matters
Is the language of the flying things, the words you can’t imagine
Telling stories from the tops of trees 
And riding currents on the breeze
When we go birdwatching

Cackle caw whip and chatter           
Chip and chirrup crow and clatter
Chitter clack rush and titter             
Pip and thrill hoot and twitter
Tweet and clang flutter flap                
Chirp and hum, flicker, quack 
Whoop whoop whoop,    
Trum trum trum trum trumpet!!!

And from far off chickadee I hear a chirp and then a sizzle
I’ll stand right next to you and keep my mouth closed
We’ll listen and resist the urge to join in with a whistle
Looking up into the trees, we’ll feel the wind blow

I promise when you grow up you’ll remember understanding
The language of the flying things, you won’t have to imagine   
The stories from the tops of trees 
The questions answered only by the breeze
When we went birdwatching 

They sang Aliyah
They sang Aliyah

Birdwatching -  with Jonathan Beckenstein

J’AI UNE MÈRE VEILLEUSE              
ELLE VEILLE AU GRAIN SUR SON BAMBIN
ET MET AU POINT DES STRATAGÈMES

DU HAUT DE BETELGEUSE
ET PAS BESOIN DE CHERCHER LOIN
POUR BOIRE AU SEIN QUE J’AIME

ET C’EST PAREIL DEPUIS TOUJOURS 
DEPUIS LE JOUR OÙ J’AI VU LE JOUR

QUAND LA VIE TÉNÉBREUSE
SE FAIT PARFOIS CHEMIN DE CROIX
ET QUE J’EN VOIS PAS LE BOUT DE MES PEINES

ALORS MA MÈRE VEILLEUSE
LUIT DANS LA NUIT BERCE MON LIT
ET MES ENNUIS  ET ME DIT PAR ICI

ET C’EST PAREIL DEPUIS TOUJOURS 
DEPUIS LE JOUR OÙ J’AI VU LE JOUR

J’AI UNE MÈRE VEILLEUSE
ELLE VEILLE AU MIEUX MÊME MIEUX QUE DIEU
SUR SON MORVEUX DEVENU VIEUX

ET C’EST PAREIL DEPUIS TOUJOURS 
DEPUIS LE JOUR OÙ J’AI VU LE JOUR

Pulling together strands of tenor saxophone and synth. with jazz bass elements and sporadic percussion hits. Tracks were all improvised but came together OK and sound vaguely arranged (in my head).
[Nothing to do with the TV drama 'Threads' where nuclear attack destroys my home city!]
