Stuff I like

This ambient track with its distinct eastern-sounding plucks, strummed string instruments and flowing water sounds is highly relaxing, almost meditative. Carried by deep, warm pads and a soft bass the progression takes its time to unfold only slowly developing into a slightly fuller arrangement, making it the perfect background track for voice-over, nature documentaries, or mythical adventure video games.

[rough translation]
RITUAL
I preserve the little ritual,
so you can return anytime.

Every day, when evening falls,
I prepare the table: an extra plate,

cutlery, your own chair, a candle, a glass,
as if you just were delayed.

I hear (how could I think that what
makes me who I am, was gone forever?)

I hear, as if the house still existed,
the gravel, the latch, the dog barking,

and you come in at the moment
I light the lamp, arrange the flowers.

I just hope I can stay calm
and without looking up from my silent routine

find the words, as if it were self-evident:
sit down, help yourself, you were expected.

[Dutch poem]
RITUEEL
Ik houd het kleine ritueel in ere,
opdat je elk moment terug kunt keren.

Iedere dag, wanneer het avond wordt,
maak ik de tafel klaar: een extra bord,

bestek, je eigen stoel, een kaars, een glas,
alsof je enkel opgehouden was.

Ik hoor (hoe kon ik denken dat hetgeen
waardoor ik ben, voor altijd was verdwenen ?),

ik hoor, alsof de woning nog bestond,
het grind, de klink, het aanslaan van de hond,

en je komt binnen op het ogenblik
dat ik de lamp ontsteek, de bloemen schik.

Ik hoop alleen dat ik dan rustig blijf
en haast niet opziend van mijn stil bedrijf

de woorden vind, als was het vanzelfsprekend:
Schuif aan; tast toe: er is op je gerekend.

ቱ የጠፉ ካሴቶች by Laxá & Heima Kvartett

A song about seeing the bright side

LYRICS:

It was a given we'd fall ill
And for a moment we are still
In the thick of it
With our guns
and our love
You can find some solace
It'll all be over soon

We've got a roof over our heads
We've got four solid walls
It could be worse than this
You know it could be much worse

You've lived a life of wonderful coincidences
Far apart from anyone who meant to hurt you
It's all we've got when we're on our own
It's all we got when we're alone

It will all be over soon
It will all be over soon

We've got a roof over our heads
We've got four solid walls
It could be worse than this
You know it could be much worse

You've lived a life of wonderful coincidences
Far apart from anyone who meant to hurt you
It's all we've got when we're on our own
It's all we got when we're alone
It will all be over soon

Be Over Soon

Scarecrow Syndrome

Visual

A song about being so pre-occupied with ourselves that we lose perspective.

LYRICS:

I'm too involved and too invested to help
I threw it all away,
Arrested myself

I received a pardon in the mail
The crimes that I'd commit in the future
would fail to alarm them
I fold it up and put it along
with the rest
You gotta ignore the warning
Sunday morning's here again
The end of another era
creeping nearer
when we sin and repent

But I'm too involved and too invested to help
I threw it all away,
Arrested myself

I put up a cordon around my home
to keep out the ones that I love
and to keep in the boredom
It hangs on the wall like a portrait of death
You gotta release the pressure
built by measured restraint
The end is a perfect pleasure
A hidden treasure awaits in the flames

But I'm too involved and too invested to help
I threw it all away,
Arrested myself
I'm too involved and too invested to help
I threw it all away,
Arrested myself

You knew it all along
You got a lot of attention from your followers
and all of us were fooled
You called the words a song
but all you wrote was a repeat of all
the cautionary warnings you refute

But I'm too involved and too invested to help
I threw it all away,
Arrested myself
I'm too involved and too invested to help
I threw it all away,
Arrested myself

His music often explores themes of love, identity, and the human condition with wit and irony. His album releases including "Continued" and "Seven Year's To Dust, have solidified his reputation as a unique and thought-provoking singer songwriter.

One Eyed In Paradise continues this trend with heartfelt vocals and percussive solo guitar it traverses folk music and alternative rock in a singer songwriter style.

Lyrics

If thine eye offends me
Then pluck it out
In the world we live in
We all fall down

In the country of the blind
The one eyed man is king
Lions led by donkeys
We live like we're asleep

One eyed in paradise
Is it warm enough
Would you like more ice?
I forgot I need to ask you twice
You like it here, you like it here
You like it here, you like it here

This paradise is what we've made it
Perfect once but now degraded
Learnt the truth learnt to betray it
The once clear vision dull and faded
Ask the builder, call the craftsman
Build our happy ever after
Bring us joy and bring us laughter
You like it here? Amen, You like it here? Amen

One eyed in paradise
Is it warm enough
Would you like more ice?
I forgot I need to ask you twice
You like it here, you like it here
You like it here, you like it here

If your ears betray you
Because you've heard too much
Let your mouth not speak the knowledge
Nor your hands reach out to touch

If your feet should keep on walking
Past the pain you can't endure
You'd like to think you're bothered
But you're never really sure

One eyed in paradise
Is it warm enough
Would you like more ice?
I forgot I need to ask you twice
You like it here, you like it here
You like it here, you like it here

MUSIC FOR THE THINKING FEW.

(NOTE for RepostEx users: I don't repost AI if I can detect it, and I only repost songs I like or show some level of competence or promise...and they usually don't involve an 808, misogyny, Autotune or singing off key over a prerecorded track...and at my age I'm FAR more interested in quality connections with listeners than going "viral". ALSO: mostly an aging rock/folk/prog/indie guy...can't really judge or really relate to Hip-Hop, Auto-Tune and other more modern styles...sorry.)

John Ludi is a musician/singer-songwriter/cultural relic with a diverse and "arty" array of influences and lyrical interests who was "Indie" before the term even existed. Working outside of the music industry by choice has given Ludi the ability to release songs of a level of lyrical depth that are anathema to the current culture.  Ludi lives off-grid in a yurt in the woods of WI and finds the materialistic priorities of our civilization incredibly wrong and destructive.
