Lofty Castle
A lofty castle of my own
Like Crusoe pulls up the ladder to be alone
Steerforth, he is our guiding star
Inns of molten blue; that’s our repertoire
“Fill full your cups”

I hear the squawk of corkscrew sound
Long before it’s needed for the next maroon round
I’ve laughed at my own jokes all night
How town sharpens an appetite

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“Vast truths that mortals seldom” found

I heard someone fall down the stairs
False reports the tumbler was in fact truly yours
Perhaps there’s foundation after all
I’m on my back on the passage floor

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“But still we held as time flew by”

Who’s that smoking right by the fireplace? It was me!
Who’s that leaning out of the window? It was me!
Contemplate one self in the mirror? That was me too!

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“Drink to me only with your eyes”

Lofty Castle

======= Lyrics =======

Blindly, drifting,

blaming others for your woes.
Why don't you look in the mirror, deep in your eyes, 
you gotta pay the price.

All the things you've said and done, 
all the things...
What have you done?

Sadly, drifting, 
won't connect with anyone.
Feeling misunderstood and too afraid to try, 
Why don't you see the sky?

So many roads you could take,
A world just waiting for you to wake-

You can't see the forest for the trees oh oh no,
Just about everything makes you freeze so oh oh,
You just keep on keep on running,
Don't look inside your mind.
You keep on keep on running, 
Hide.

But your mind knows, but your mind knows the lies, you know your mind knows why oh oh

Wildly drifting 
madly its lifting, 
step outside just stop the fight,
You know you have to try, 

You know your mind knows why, You know your mind knows why,

You know your mind knows.

Electric piano is the Logic Pro X Classic Suitcase MkI. 

Sometimes a lost suitcase has a more interesting journey than the traveler. I remember flying domestically in Spain and my suitcase going on an extended  journey. It was only found because I remembered my flight from Madrid to Barcelona actually continued to Cairo. After a few missteps I convinced the airline to search at Cairo International and it all ended well, but only one day before I had to leave for home. This track could easily be modified if anybody wants to divert the suitcase to a different pair of countries. Just let me know and I'll send the stems.

I Love The 70s

I LoveThe 70s

An unconscious exploration of the conflict and growth at the birth of a season, also the conflict within myself as I explore this art form further. I had no idea what was going to be explored within the music until it happened.
Helen x

Our process started off with a simple repeating chord progression on the piano for Helen to improvise over. We gradually added more elements once the vocal parts were complete and the final element is a field recording of the dawn chorus, recorded at 5am in our back garden.

Impatient awakenings

A Royal Affair - Music by REKHA - IYERN [Fe] | Live 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

It sucks to get old, but it beats the alternative.

GETTING SOMEWHERE

About time 
Could it be there’s not enough
About love
The rush and the loss
About me
The highs and the lows
About us

All the missed opportunities
The places you didn’t go
The people you never held
All the lost laughs

You’re getting your fair share
If only you dare
You’re getting somewhere
If only you dare

About joy
Did I spread enough
About happiness
Did I live it up
About time
About time for me
About us

Time to punch in your ticket
There’s one final show
Time to empty your bucket
Let loose let go

Somewhere…

You’re getting your fair share
If only you dare
You’re getting somewhere
If only you dare
Somewhere
You’re getting there
Somewhere
You’re getting there

Somewhere
You’re getting somewhere
Somewhere
You’re getting somewhere

Getting Somewhere

I'm so glad I reached out to the amazing Jennifer Roe @jenniferroe to work on a track together. I was introduced to her work via my good friend Robert @r-salchaks-mood-exhibit, when they collaborated on the wonderful, 'Elegiacal'. https://soundcloud.com/r-salchaks-mood-exhibit/elegiacalfinal-draft-audiomaster-2?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Nunataq/Ice Age

Nun a taq taq taq taq taq

Hey yah yah yah
Hey yah yah yah

Hey-o
Hey-o
Oh-ay

In the time of lowest light
In the days of shortest sight
You crawl you crawl
You claw your way on hands and knees
You call you call
In the time of lowest light
In the coldness of the night
You crawl
Crawl
You call:

Hey yah yah yah yah
Hey yah yah yah yah
Nunataq
Nunataq
Nunataq taq taq taq taq

One
Giant
Leap
Into the till
Scrounging for gems

In the time of lowest light
In the days of shortest sight
You crawl you crawl
You claw your way on hands and knees

Your own little ice age
Your pit pond
You sinking in the outwash

Raking stones
Breaking bones
Changing history
Raking stones
Breaking bones
Changing history

Your own little ice age
Your own little ice age
Your own little ice age
Your own little ice age
