If Only I Could Play... (Short Piano Piece)

I dared to try my hand at a "Lullaby". The piece was created with Cubase 12 and some VST. I hope you like it. If so, I'm looking forward to your comments  - if you haven't fallen asleep ;-)

===== Lyrics =====

Está na hora de fugir
Está na hora de fazer a mala
Está na hora de partir
Está na hora de ir embora

Está na hora de saltar
de virar e nunca mais voltar
Está na hora de viver
de rir, dançar e beber

Chegou a hora!

Há anos que estamos juntos mas sozinhos nesta casa
Não se dá mais beijinho
O amor está sem brasa                                                               

Está na hora de correr
Está na hora de pintar o céu de cor-de-rosa
Está na hora de acordar
Está na hora de olhar, de olhos abertos

Está na hora de cheirar as flores
de sentir o sol na pele
Está na hora de beijar, de abraçar

Chegou a hora!

Há anos no mesmo comboio, na direção errada
O choque tão perto
Não se queria magoar, mas nós não aprendemos nada

Há anos no mar das chatices sem saber nadar
Lutando com ondas altas onde nos vamos afogar                    
Procurámos a saída, sem saber o caminho
Perdidos no dia a dia, a vida ficou tão fria!

Está na hora de fugir
para os Jardins de Éden, sem ti!
Está na hora de deixar a chuva
para trás, para trás, para trás, para trás

Está na hora de fugir, de fazer a mala
Está na hora de partir
Deixar os gritos para trás, para trás,
para trás, para trás, para trás, para trás

Chegou a hora, agora!

another hasty cover amidst a (hopefully) temporary lapse in creativity.

This is the original instrumental version of the Hip-Hop track I did before I decided to add lyrics and collaborated with the talented Ian Greaves (aka @IPG1). After composing this instrumental track, Ian was kind enough to let me use his lyrics/vocals from his song ‘Modern Times’.

Here is the version with lyrics:

And here's the link back to IPG1's original vocal track; please give him a listen!:
https://soundcloud.com/ipg1/modern-times-vocals-150-bpm

Most of the music is performed by me, with the exception of the sampled vocalization in the middle bridge and ending, and a few sound effects here & there. The beginning starts off normal enough, but the middle section takes a bit of a left turn before I 'go off' on the synth in the second half. I kind of enjoyed working the sliders on the live synth performance.   ;)

This is the same image I used in the vocals version, just inverted. 

Thanks for listening!

Modern Times - the digital age (instrumental)

Black Forest

Do you know there is a place on the outskirts of town that no one goes near?
Not that there are any ghost stories, but everyone avoids the place.

Let's meet up in the Black Forest.
At the darkest place of there.

Even on a deathly hot summer day, it is said to be much cooler there.
Some people say they saw old shrines or abandoned buildings.

Let's meet up in the Black Forest.
Be careful not to get lost.

We sometimes toy with the notion of an afterlife.
It is not a religion, but a story.

It is said that there are rare insects and high priced plants there.
Anyone from this city must have known about the place since childhood.

Let's meet up in the Black Forest.
At the darkest place of there.

Let's meet up in the Black Forest.
Be careful not to get lost.

Do you know how to get there?

Black Forest

Riding The Great Australian Plains

ETHEREAL

The sidelines-of the grand parade-say it so well-they always see whats wrong-
they're right where they belong-they love their liberty-welcome their friends-to see-how the other side lives-so you have to ask-what gives-
(Chorus)
It's the same-in every city-when you go-you see strangers on the streets-they're in the grand parade-like a game of charade-they're just like me and you
When we cross path's-with one another-we wish we could be famous-be famous-a halo on our heads-we greet each other-but not a word gets said-it's like we're almost dead-why did I even get out of bed-
(Chorus)
