espectacular jimena,,y un master torbjorn ,,cuidate mucho,en estos dias dificiles la musica hace sentir bien,,¡¡¡

Love this moving tale of tragic love and resignation to self doubt in a building storm of affirmation breaking on the rising shore of powerful brilliant self realization and liberation. Superb artistry from you both. <3

Great collaboration. Fine song, musicianship and vocals!!

the track uses repetition to effect the earworm possibilities. Also the concept of a crescendo developing via an eb and flo progression.
It should be of interest in the way the different elements ,like a jazz group would do, take the forground  swopping importance of front stagefocus. Enjoy!

Huge thanks to Iano @Rosarius for the guitar parts and to Bruce on bass... 

Are you ghosting me? Is that your deal?
Is that what this is and how it feels?
And how the hell does that work for you?
Is there guilt, do you have no clue
How it feels to love and care and trust so much
And share your dreams and fears and such
When suddenly …. There is nothing

Chorus
And I think I’ve been mistaken
Are you sick, have you been taken?
Any cause to ease my shame
Cos I really cannot take 
That the mark I left could be so faint 
So easy to erase
Like I vanished without trace

Verse 2
Emptiness, no sound, no sights
A void once filled with excitement
The thrill of the pace and hunger
Their absence strikes me repeatedly
Not once, not twice, with every ping on my devices
Messages not from you scream the truth
You’re not coming

Chorus
And I think I’ve been mistaken
Are you sick, have you been taken?
Any cause to ease my shame
Cos I really cannot take 
That the mark I left could be so faint 
So easy to erase
Like I vanished without trace

Verse 3
I scroll sometimes through the words
Your wrote to me when you saw my worth
No warning of the savage cut
One day warmth, the next day none
Hours of laughter, not pretending
Now a story with no ending
And I swear that I'll delete them all but don't 
Once more succumbing

Chorus
And I think I’ve been mistaken
Are you sick, have you been taken?
Any cause to ease my shame
Cos I really cannot take 
That the mark I left could be so faint 
So easy to erase
Like I vanished without trace

M8
What does that say about me?
That I could be such a fool
What does that say that 
You could be so cruel

Chorus
And I think I’ve been mistaken
Are you sick, have you been taken?
Any cause to ease my shame
Cos I really cannot take 
That the mark I left could be so faint 
So easy to erase
Like I vanished without trace

Vanished Without Trace

Ulanara（1718~1766）

Ulanara is the second wife of Emperor Qianlong.
In 1750 she was made Empress by the strong recommendation of Empress Dowager .

(1765), during the Jiangnan tour, she was directly sent back to Beijing, incurring the emperor's wrath. It is said that she cut her hair, which was taboo for a Manchurian, but it is not clear.

She was subsequently stripped of all powers and she was not buried as Empress after her death.
There is no figure of her in the picture scroll depicting the empress and consort of the Qianlong Emperor.

乌拉那拉是乾隆皇帝的第二任妻子。
1750年，在皇太后的强烈推荐下，她被立为皇后。

(1765年)，江南巡视时，直接被遣送回京，招致皇帝震怒。据说他剪了头发，这是满洲人的忌讳，但并不清楚。

她随后被剥夺了所有权力，死后也没有以皇后的身份下葬。
在描绘她的皇后和妃子的画卷中没有看到她的身影。

Photo from about 1984!!

We all left school in the 80's to miners strikes and unemployment. Despite this, looking at old photographs from the time we looked like an Aerosmith tribute band on a budget and without a care in the world. Happy times despite everything. Sadly, one or two of us are long gone.
So this song has an 80's feel and hopefully reflects the times.

Lyrics
Looking at old photographs, well I had to laugh out loud 
Looking at the hair and the clothes what were we thinking of 

Oh and how the world was changing and we were being left behind 
Or being carried along inside a whale to another place and time 

We all left school for the dole, apparently no one wanted coal
While on the Tyne they were no longer building ships 
They had all sailed east where it was cheap 

Oh and how the world was changing and we were being left behind 
Or being carried along inside a whale to another place and time 

But looking at these photographs doesn’t reflect none of that 
These faces that I see that I’m looking at 
They’re all smiles and attitude and laughs
We have all moved on and sadly some of us are long gone……

Photographs

Ah, dear listener! I present myself here with my good buddy Gary, rather sheepish and shamefaced at being absent from this church of sonic jewels for the longest time.  I have been a bad listener, I'm afraid.  Bereft of mojo, time and without my little studio. Mea culpa. 

If you've read this far, you already have a whiff of the legendary about you.

So one day, quite recently,  the Phaigester messages me and opens his raincoat to reveal a select library of stellar little ear-nuggets he's been hiding away. What beauties, I tell thee! What beauties!
He lives here and you should visit if you haven't before

Three grabbed me instantly..deep, swirling soundstrata, complex and intriguing in equal measure. 

Perched on my bed, yodelling into the abyss, I attempt to add to his painting.  Teleported into that great,  inkyblack wonderland of transcendent joy again.

Hats off to Gar. Inventive, musical and patient. Thanks for your art and resuscitating me.

3 tracks..8mins plus..big ask. But hey, if you've read this far whilst listening you're halfway through 

Cheers me hearties, catch  you soon
Be good

Peripheral

I can’t see you, I can’t be with you
I can’t hold you or feel your welcome touch
As we slip into the water

I always sense you, I always feel you
Moving with me, our thoughts alike so much
As we slip into the water

When you slipped away on that awful day
You made me promise to live my life my own way
As I walk with you into the water

No more peripheral
It is logical
It is you and me

Tlaslila

I feel
Like I want to ride across the desert
Baking sand, tears of sweat in my eyes
Then climb climb the black mountains
Oh-oh-over we go, sail into the grey blue skies
I feel cold, dark deepness,
Feel fearsome rain,
Then fall
Fall into your arms again

Strange Agent

Strange Agent
You're never gonna find the man
Strange Agent
He'll let you run while you can

Fool you summoned him from beyond
Fool you thought he'd give you what you want
But that ain't the deal
Spinning the wheel
He's found something to steal
There's a soul to pay

Strange Agent, running wild in your head
Strange Agent telling you to talk with the dead
He's taking you by the hand

It's In The Room EP ThePhaige with Nicholas Ridiculous

a mother gives herself sexually to distract a spouse who's about to beat his children.  that guy's a fucking asshole.  that woman is a fucking saint.

// LYRICS
it's not about us
you selfish and violent lush
it's not about us
you throw fists and violate trust
i'll stay
please don't hurt them
i'll stay
i'll stay with you
come here
lay down
with me
fill me
with your
rage

mother, the great protector (outraged version)

Well, its a Monday so that can only mean one thing, Its time for a remix of a song from 2016 that no one asked for!
So here is my alternate version and remix of this awesome song.
Its filled with awesome performances and magic.
As it's an alternate version, there are some differences between this and the original. The intro is completely rebuilt as i didn't have any of the parts. I also decided to use a previous arrangement with a piano solo instead of an acoustic guitar solo, and omitted a keyboard solo. This was mainly done because i genuinely feel like its the best choice for the song, but also because i didn't have them!

This was such a pleasure to work on, in 2016 OR 2023.

Today, our first album has landed on all music platforms. It's called "Ten Waves" and it includes the 9 songs Torbjørn (@tobbenv) and I have been working on for almost 4 years plus a new release, called "You Won".

Making music with Torbjørn has been an incredible experience from Day 1. His generosity and talent are out of this world and I feel truly blessed to have worked on all these amazing songs with him, each one of which captures a different time in our lives.

I'm also thankful to have worked with Joachim Vagle (@joachimvagle), Dairv Dubbleyew (@dairv-dubbleyew) and John O'Reilly Jr (www.boomcrashdrumtracks.com/) in many of these songs. Thank you so much, my super awesome band mates!

Lyrics:
You won

So many emotions locked behind the door
So much commotion I can’t seem to ignore
My mind is in motion, my heart on the floor
A muffled explosion that no-one cares for

You’ve made me admit I’m not worthy of love
That you’re right and I’m wrong
I don’t believe in myself anymore
Well done, you won

You killed my illusions; my prayers go unheard 
Utter confusion surrounds my whole world
I live in seclusion, it’s all so absurd
A foolish delusion that this much I deserve

You’ve made me admit I’m not worthy of love
That you’re right and I’m wrong
I don’t believe in myself anymore
Well done, you won

Instrumental solo

Well, you’ve made me admit I’m not worthy of love
That you’re right and I’m wrong
Now I don’t believe in myself anymore
Well done, you won

Sometimes, I feel I am losing control
Some other times, I feel I can’t take it no more
Sometimes, I feel I’m about to set off
One of these times, you’ll watch me explode

You’re right and I’m wrong…
Well done, you won…

Sometimes, I feel I am losing control
Some other times, I feel I can’t take it no more
Sometimes, I feel I’m about to set off
One of these times, you’ll watch me explode

But guess what! Now I know 
You have been wrong all along

Ten waves

You Won
