I got this kind of 'sarah slean' feeling.  I love the way you sing.  A kind of opera

Brilliant, brilliant duet and love the lyrical wit. Fantastic.

Wonderful song! A great vocal performance by a duo!

Great duet, great fun, makes me think cabaret, or maybe a musical

show tunes. one of my favorite genres of music, and one with a lot of overlap in good rap

you and burn.it.smith smell real good together! love your interactions, such a great combo and so fun to listen to!

Odyssey *leads

15-year-old Andriy recounts to CNN's John Berman the moment his family was forced from their home at gunpoint in Chernihiv, Ukraine, and the attack that claimed his mother's life. 

V1
right
It ain't right
It ain't right
It ain't right

When fifteen year old ripped from his life
When his towns on fire and his mother just died
It ain't right
It ain't right

you see
It's strange
That just a week before
Andriy was playing guitar with family
dark night
Dark night
He just want play his guitar now
And get through this dark night

Ch
And he just wanna go home
And he just wanna go home
And rebuild a city

{post ch}

V3
He's the same age as my son
to see what he has been through.
it is just,
heart breaking
He said
I was supposed to be playing with my band at a concert…
instead I am here.
heart breaking
heart breaking
And I wanna go home
And I wanna go home

{instr}

Ch
And he just wanna go home
And he just wanna go home
And rebuild a city

Bridge
And want you to know that my mother was a beautiful woman
And want you to know that my mother was a beautiful friend

Ch
And I wanna go home
And I wanna go home
Heart breaking

Outro
And I wanna go home
And I wanna go home
Heart breaking
And I wanna go home
And I wanna go home

The situation in Ukraine is heartbreaking and incomprehensible……it ain't right.

I saw one specific example (of many) in a news article that really got to me about the effects of this senseless war on ordinary people.  People just trying to live their ordinary human lives in peace, coming from towns probably similar to the one you or I may have grown up in.  Instead, they are ripped from this existence because a psychopath decides he needs to acquire a new piece of dirt and a bigger crown.  He will level cities and mow down innocent people to get it.  

I recently watched a news feature covering a shell shocked 15 year old boy who had lost his mother in an awful attack.  He was still obviously stunned and coping.  Towards the end of the interview it became clear that one of his coping mechanisms was just wanting to play his guitar for awhile to get through the dark nights ahead….to hold on to a strand of something normal.  This hit me quite hard as it is probably a characteristic I too would have fallen back on as coping mechanism (a keyboard in my case)

 The other powerful thing that came through was his un-questioned determination to still go back and rebuild the city one day. This seemed to be just a given.  This was going to happen. This steadfast resolve and heroism in the Ukrainian people in general is moving and inspiring and probably has a lot to do with what they went through and achieved in the 2013/2014 timeframe when they ousted a Putin placed dictator the first time.  The Netflix documentary called Winter on Fire captures this struggle for independence very well.  They will not give up this hard won independence easily.

This all influenced my latest song creation.  

Thank You for your courage Andriy and I wish you strength, resilience and resolve to keep moving forward.  This song is dedicated to you and your family.

Safe Corridor

A Royal Affair - Music by REKHA - IYERN [Fe] | Live Hardware Synth Instrumental through an amp right off of my studio floor

Part of an upcoming soon to be released Electronica album from moi :)

A track about a medieval like gathering to celebrate-discuss the couple's introductories, their arranged Royal Affair! The setting in my head, a high society pre-official-celebration event that takes place in the grand castle hall where the noble guests of honour attend the glamorous occasion fit for the chosen King and Queen yet to be!  They can say no if they wish so keep your fingers crossed for good luck as the families & related ties meet & greet highlighting the desirable qualities of each! The serious tone discussions linger about until progress is made, a final decision awaiting. So let us now politely curtsey, bow, fan, smile, hold the stance-stare-glare fixated! More trumpets now please! We so need the hype-vibe pumped up to make this vital connection go green! 

Keeping up with the obligatory motions is the name of this game...mode of course, diamonds and pearls, ornate embroidered design style...divine perfection creatures of the flirting-fine kind...good looks adorned in eye catching draping ruffling-puffing satins and velvety masculine jacket-suit-tail attire, embellished with piercing heavy metallics...to go on to say that all of this razzle-dazzle extraviganza to be accompanied with rustic wine goblets & rich colourful dine, circular dance activity, snotty chit-chat whispers and back stabbing schemes, the music picture mood of an ancient world what I'm trying to convey in a modern poppy way...not sure if I did exactly that or not...using just an Arturia Micro Brute Synth to sound something like an Indian Wooden Acoustic Harmonium or a Bag-Pipe was the challenge fun for me...to rather use, soley the synth and not my harmonium or *Bag-Pipe which I don't even play or own...to try and get the essence medieval feel somehow to shine through...Hmn, maybe yes? Maybe no? Not sure? Ponder over that notion...Hope you will enjoy this perhaps exciting number, REKHA XOXOXO

I LOVE THE WAY YOU SMELL 

It’s not the way I walk 
- You’ve got a funny way of walking
It’s not the way I talk 
- I never listen when you’re talking

-But the other boys can go to hell 
‘Cause you know I like the way you smell

It’s not the clothes I wear 
- I don’t notice what you’re wearing
It’s not my movie star hair 
- Your looks are kind of overbearing

-But the other boys can go to heck 
‘Cause I just want to sniff your neck

Someone can be as pretty as you please 
Smart as a whip or crazy for me 
But I can’t see the forest for your trees
Cause when it comes to love I’m olfactory

When you’re around me you just stutter and stammer 
- ‘Cause the air around you has got some kind of glamour

-The other boys just aren’t as glamorous
The scent of you makes me amorous

What is it about me that’s so alluring? 
- If I told you it wouldn’t be reassuring

-For other boys I just don’t care
Come over here and let me smell your hair

-Yeah you don’t have to win me over 
Cause I really love the way that you smell

waylaid  

Too many times  we’re all waylaid  and that’s fine 
too many times  it’s all waylaid  and  it goes to pot  
to pot  

Like a wave it comes and sweeps you right up and sees you see it all
But eyes, are a little bit blind and the scene is way too colourfully abstract
Still a bit waylaid, feeling somewhat waylaid,    
Still a bit waylaid, feeling somewhat waylaid,   

Take a little swim to the other other end friend
Any old stroke don’t worry about the form shawn
The wave is talking to us whispering to us all
Like an old friend’s calling for the next big call
we flounder around like elastic plastic fish  
being totally off course way too many times						
There’s gonna be hell to pay when we get loose 
too many strings can’t see the way up   fuck
 
we alight aboard the sinking ship ‘nice n spicy’ 
but it sure rings more like lice, lice and mousy
by all means though  yeah  call it a bleak street
rather that than being an almighty shit-storm 
but really what’s with the so trendy dark-side
when it’s just another tool to set aside inside
another montage in the so-so blackened garage
then the trap door opens with the latest barrage

it’s been a forever long haul to finally get here
through those wayback times of bullet versus spear
sitting so pretty on the board with no cares of war
laying down at night with no cares of what we saw
it doesn’t take long to forget the face of firepower
and wonder how it got here - how did it get here?
the flash of piercing light through our sufferance
the tall billowing dusty plumes of our vengeance

the power of one man can dictate the spin of earth
was here before, been here before, seen this before
man on top, he’s sublime, so so totally fine yeah?
was here before, been here before, seen this before 
the power of one man can dictate the winds of earth
straight ahead not a soul in sight - damn right!
There’s gonna be hell to pay when we get loose 
too many chains don’t know the way up   fuck

Too many times  we’re waylaid
feeling somewhat way way waylaid,    
  
it’s a pity about  the bleak streets
better than a fire storm for for for sure

Too many times  we’re waylaid
feeling somewhat way way waylaid

This is a weird one! It started with a little loop I built on the microfreak sequencer, then I added drums and some minilogue parts, as well as e. piano from Korg Module.

Once again the art was generated with the AI app Wombo Dream.
