Bitter Sweet Symphony (Now streaming on Spotify)

Pared by to just guitar and vocals "Sleeping On The Cold Side Of The Bed" is a poem set to music.

Excuse me I would like to say
Or would it spoil a special day
Should I go or should I stay at all

Walk along please hold my hand
Love I'll never understand
We just gaze upon the factories and the lights

On a clear day you can see the smoke
The cloud, the sun, our only hope
But that's when it decides not to rain

Your eyes like the sky have turned to grey
You know there won't be better days
And so you smile just to mask the tears

That's all we can expect
Cold and lonely hearts there's nothing left
This might be as good as it gets
Sleeping on the cold side of the bed
This might be as good as it gets
Sleeping on the cold side of the bed

You and me and these old streets we'll grow old together
These four walls and our memories will last forever
I cry and I laugh, it's been a life and a half
I cry and I laugh, it's been a life and a half

The streets where we're born is where we'll die
We'll get married there, our kids will cry
Living among the roses and barbed wire
And the tree where I once carved your name
They chopped it down and in its place
Is a car lot and an adult video store

And the red bricks that were stained with blood
And the darkened streets that killed our love
As the north wind chilled the warmest heart

I sit and hold you by the fire
The TV's on your hand in mine
Remembering the dreams that never came

That's all we can expect
Cold and lonely hearts there's nothing left
This might be as good as it gets
Sleeping on the cold side of the bed

This might be as good as it gets
Sleeping on the cold side of the bed

ES LA MONTAÑA O ERES TÚ.

https://youtu.be/1r-4gE0n8Zs?si=3bQLoXRKABnFpuC1

Mis tímpanos se ahogan,
allá el sol se escondió,
es la montaña o eres tú,
aire que pasa y se va,
raya el cielo azul,
sin desbordar la luz tenue que se marcha.

Un gramo de piedra,
pretexto de café,
es la montaña o eres tú,
o es tu mirada que se va,
viene y se va,
a renacer la luz tenue que se marcha.

Y sobre el mineral,
el calor se extinguió,
es la montaña o eres tú,
río que viaja y se va,
escapa y se va,
brota de la luz tenue que se marcha.

Saturday Drive

Lyrics to the song: Awakening good feelings, fighting is part of life, and seeing the best of you. Cherish the bad and good times, if you think about giving up, think again! you are capable! Believe in yourself.

Real dreams, who believes what they point to?
I dreamed that I was better than today, maybe I am or not, but I live in peace.

Along the road of this life I reinvented myself, changing plans and moving away from the disguised ones.. Ah! How I got it right. I'm stronger now, I put pieces of myself together and remade my story, that's life.

Real dreams, who believes for what they achieve, I dreamed that I was better than today, maybe I am or not, but I live in peace.

Real dreams

Flight Of Icarus (album version, remastered)

Frankie Vertigo unveils his newest creation, "Desire," featuring the smoky vocals of Carolina. Arriving soon via My Secret Agenda, Vertigo draws us in with his intoxicating sound design. Ghostly arpeggios entwine with Carolina's echo-laden voice as punchy drums provide an irresistible groove. Electrifying ear candy and stylish synth motifs artfully pierce through the haze while a throbbing bassline beefs out the low end, perfectly counterbalancing Carolina's dark yet hypnotising tones. Under Sanctions adds a brighter twist to the moody, after-hours original; working in blissful pads and euphoric arpeggios while maintaining a sinister edge with a disturbing synth-line. Oozing with deft sound design and intricate FX, Frankie Vertigo & Under Sanctions combine forces to provide the perfect recipe for dance-floor domination!

Frankie Vertigo - Desire feat. Carolina (Under Sanctions Extended Remix)

A returning artist to the Particles fold, Dave Leck opens 2024 with a brand-new track as "Opal" shines alongside remixes from Erdi Irmak and Izzet. Debuting on the label in August 2019, "Stardust" was the first of three original EPs that saw Dave Leck hit the ground running. "Primal Connection" followed in early 2020 before "Elevate" completed a trio of outstanding original releases in March 2022. Another two-year gap now sees "Opal" create a mesmerising percussive groove while trademark melodic phrasing sits elegantly above. Immaculately cadenced, open filters provide dancefloor vibrancy that waxes and wanes with subtle intensity. Pausing for breath at the mid-point, the track picks up the pace with a hypnotic arpeggio lighting up the second half atop elements built in earlier movements.

Erdi Irmak is no stranger to Proton catalogues with a raft of original and remix production work on both labels. Over 75 production credits include 7 volumes of the "Hidden Arcadia" series on Proton Music and a raft of original work en route. The full-length album, "You're Either Guilty or Not Guilty" was a Particles highlight in 2014 followed by 2017's "Zero" and remixes for Aeron Aether, Mio & His Flute and Stories Of Others. Now returning to the label for the first time in nearly three years, Erdi Irmak takes "Opal" in a typically majestic direction. Anchored by a heavy beat and vibrant bassline, the cadenced feel of the original is reinterpreted to create a deliciously smooth new groove that intelligently reworks elements from Dave Leck's track. Full of dancefloor energy, spellbinding melodic phrases coruscate over each other in shimmering, interlaced patterns to create an impressive tour de force from the Istanbul-based star.

The final track sees the return of Particles favourite, Izzet. Centred around 2019's "Summer Goodbye", 2021's "Abstract Distortion" and March 2022's "Puncher" EPs, remixes for the likes of Rafa'EL, Pole Folder and Petar Dundov have shown the multiple facets of the Russian's artistry as he now adds to his catalogue with a driving reworking of "Opal". Founded upon a cone-melting sub-bassline, a heavy kick and ticking hi-hats create a heavy-duty groove. Simultaneously, elements from Dave Leck's original are re-envisioned to provide an innovative melodic arrangement. The familiar arpeggio, central to the original makes its presence felt as the track develops, with a delicate tension played out as the melodic and bass phrases pull subtly against each other.

Refracted in multi-coloured arrays with remixes from Erdi Irmak and Izzet, Dave Leck has unearthed another jewel with his "Opal".

Opal (Original Mix)

It looks like spring is getting here. It raises all around. You can smell it. You can feel it on your face. You can almost touch it...
It reminds me the walk in the wood around Chalet-à-Gobet last year in the period of Indian summer. This special reminiscence awakens my emotions. And emotions turns in acoustic guitar, flute and upright bass and finally all this ends in this song.

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.
