This is the 7th song posted from the album I have been working on using demo tracks given to me by Wou-Wou & the Wormling during the start of the pandemic! I can't believe how fast time has passed and how long we have been working on this project. 4 songs from the album are based on a graphic novel that Wou-Wou had started before the pandemic began. The rest of the songs are reflections of the weird times we were living in.

Big thanks to Wou Wou, Bit-zone, and Stricknice for still being here after all these years. I have known and worked with people on SoundCloud probably longer than I have known high school friends, college friends, and friends from various jobs. Huge thanks to Guitar Wizards of the Future. I remember when I first began participating in the SoundCloud community, I would always eagerly anticipate a new GWOTF track, especially because I grew up in Oakland California. I look forward to hearing a new one someday! In the meantime, go check out the classics on their page!

Lyrics:

Would 
You like to 
Skip work and go to the seaside
Would 
You like to
Go tubing by the riverside

Please say so 
Please say so
Geeze don’t make me wait 
Another day though 
I been x-ing out the dates
Each and every day though 
Cause I just can’t seem 
To let me let you go 

What 
About going 
For a naked bike ride
What 
About going 
To a dispensary and getting high

Please say so 
Please say so
Geeze don’t make me hate 
Another day though 
I been poking at my plate
Each and every day though 
Just staring in the mirror
Watching as my hair grows 

Would
You like to 
Visit a park 2 feet wide
Would 
You like to
Be my voodoo donut bride 

Please say so 
Please say so
Geeze don’t make me wait 
Another day though 
I been x-ing out the dates
Each and every day though 
Cause I just can’t seem 
To let me let you go

Lyrics:
Nos vies sont des bateaux que les années emportent
Sur des océans calmes ou bien des mers trop fortes
On navigue au hasard et l'on cherche fortune
Prêt à livrer bataille pour décrocher la Lune

Et si le vent du nord
Gonflait nos voiles
Irions nous vers ces ports
Où rien ne se dévoile
Mais les hommes ont si peur
Du bruit de la fureur
De leur propre douleur
Et de leur créateur

On dérive parfois sur des courants d'hier
Les yeux pleins d'horizons pleins de frontières
De nos sillons blessés on revient les mains vides
Et ce temps qui nous double après la dernière ride

Et si le vent du nord
Gonflait nos voiles
Irions nous vers ces ports
Où rien ne se dévoile
Mais les hommes ont si peur
Du bruit de la fureur
De leur propre douleur
Et de leur créateur

Nos vies sont des bateaux que tout brise sans cesse
Pauvres marins échoués sans signal de détresse
Naufragés ridicules sur de pauvres écueils
On se noie dans un verre en buvant notre orgueil

Et si le vent du nord
Gonflait nos voiles
Irions nous vers ces ports
Où rien ne se dévoile
Mais les hommes ont si peur
Du bruit de la fureur
De leur propre douleur
Et de leur créateur

Et chantent les sirènes et partent les curieux
Tentés par des chimères et qu'importe le lieu
Courageux ambitieux sur les chemins du sort
Ignorant les étoiles et l'ange qui s'endort

Our lives are boats that the years carry away
On calm oceans or heavy seas
We sail at random and seek our fortune
Ready to fight for the moon

And if the north wind
Were to fill our sails
Would we head for these ports
Where nothing is revealed
But men are so afraid
Of the noise of fury
Of their own pain
And of their creator

Sometimes we drift on yesterday's currents
Eyes full of horizons full of frontiers
From our wounded furrows we return empty-handed
And this time that doubles us after the last wrinkle

And if the north wind
Would fill our sails
Would we head for these ports
Where nothing is revealed
But men are so afraid
Of the noise of fury
Of their own pain
And of their creator

Our lives are ships that are constantly being broken
Poor sailors stranded without a distress signal
Ridiculous castaways on poor reefs
We drown in a glass drinking our pride

And if the north wind
Would fill our sails
Would we head for these ports
Where nothing reveals itself
But men are so afraid
Of the noise of fury
Of their own pain
And of their creator

And the sirens sing and the curious depart
Tempted by chimeras and who cares where
Courageously ambitious on the paths of fate
Ignoring the stars and the sleeping angel

Le vent du nord (Coralie NAZABAL - Jonathan MARTEEL & JIM) TRANSLATED

Super Saiyan

You’ve got me mistaken for 
everyone who every came before
I’ll let you know when I’m ready
to be your little fool

You’ve got quite a lot of nerve
telling me what I deserve
I’ll let you know when I’m ready
to settle for what you say

I don’t want to act my age
I don’t need to turn the page
I’ll let you know when I’m ready
to step into that cage

I’m like a super saiyan
I’m just saying
Look at all the energy
That’s washing over me

I’m like a super saiyan
I’m just saying
Up in the sky I’m free
Radiating

This song just came out this way
I don’t care what people say
I’ll let you know when I’m ready
to play that pandering game

My default setting is love
I can't ever get enough
Please let me know when you’re ready
to join me up above

I’m like a super saiyan
I’m just saying
Look at all the energy
That’s washing over me

I’m like a super saiyan
I’m just saying
Up in the sky I’m free
Radiating

The Art of Breaking

take this
my face
Let it crack
gently upon
the surface of
my skin
All good things
go broken
once in awhile
but do not throw me
away as if I am
useless
I speak with medicine on
my lips
my touch
a warm healing balm
Don't throw me away
I have gold in my veins
my mind a silver locket
with kintsugi prayers to
mend your heart...

The Art of Breaking Feat. K.M. Ende

My old friend Strootman Pianomonster (will post soon on https://soundcloud.com/stroot-246138153) sent me some of his baroque recordings on harpsichord. I've worked on one of them with all the Ruizzoid stuff you can hear, and even translated to Latin one of my old poems!

VOLO OSCULUM TUUM  /  I WANT YOUR KISS

 Volo saxum ad clamare.  /  I want a rock to cry on.  
 Ad gemere, quis saxum.  /  To moan, any rock.  

(Volo osculum tuum ad somniare.  /  I want your kiss to dream.  
 Ad vivere, nisi osculum tuum.  /  For living, just your kiss.)
  
Volo flammam ad queri.  /  I want a flame to scream.  
 Ad pati, quis flammam.  /  To suffer, any flame.  

(Volo osculum tuum…  /  I want your kiss... ) 

 Volo pugionem ad exspirare.  /  I want a dagger to expire.  
 Ad mori quis pugionem.  /  To die, any dagger.  

(Volo osculum tuum…  /  I want your kiss... )

Volo Osculum Tuum (with Strootman on harpsichord)

Je Tourne La Page (Turning the page)

The Path was written by my good friend Stephen who lost his wife and best friend Máire 4 years ago.
It is a beautiful and very personal song that portrays the path that Stephen takes every week as he
makes his journey to visit Máire.
I am truly honoured that Stephen asked me to help him record and produce this beautiful song in
Máire’s memory.
Stephen can be found at https://on.soundcloud.com/HWahF
I would like to ask you to drop over to Stephen’s page and comment on his song, as he has only just
started on SoundCloud. He goes under the name of “Mouse”.

———

I’ll be longing

The day is over, the pace dialed down to slow
On the sky above me, the stars begin to show
Jupiter there with its beautiful moons
Mars over there, red fiery gloom 

As I look through my fingers at Orion’s belt
I swear it was your presence I just felt
Knowing with certainty, i don’t have to tell
That you can see the same stars as well

And so it is my love, so it is …could it be any better
And ill be longing

A gentle breeze makes me heave for breath
I turn to see something bright in the west
For a second I see a smile on your face
Before I realize it’s just the evening haze

How tiny our silhouettes are under the sky 
It’s as if we never met and had to say goodbye
But through this words and a simple little song
I’ll see you soon, don’t you know
It won’t be long

And so it is my love so it is
Could it be any better
So it is my love so it is
Come with me and be a part of this
And so it is my love so it is
Could it be any better

So it is my love so it is
And ill be longing
And ill be longing
And ill be longing
And ill be longing

I'll Be Longing

Recorded on Yamaha 4tracks tape recorder in September 1990! / Mastered on Audacity in September 2023

Believe it or not… this title was composed almost entirely in a dream !! After three coffees I just had to work all the parts and recorded this in half of the day! 
The day after I mixed that stuff, which would  become - three years after - one of the biggest Cats Bleed success on stage 🔥

SUZY - Bruno C

This song is a little thank you to the MRI technician, who was not happy with me, she wanted me to keep still but the electronic sounds were so fabulous and I found it very difficult not to move.

https://youtu.be/4nG-2tyw2Ao

Resonance is majestic
It sure knows how to thrill
Moombahton, juke n'breakbeat
Occasionally deep chill
Girl behind the console
Said I must act more responsible
I need you to keep still

Lay still upon that flatbed
Diagnostics take their time
The protons in the molecules
Need time to realign
The protons in the molecules
They follow scientific rules
Every single time

Moombahton, juke n'breakbeat
A little bit of house
Shot from the anaesthetist
The lights, they just went out
Shot from the anaesthetist
To help with the analysis
Of the Administer of Grime

Lay still upon that flatbed
That is what she said
Lay still upon that flatbed
When I moved, well she saw red
Lay still upon that flatbed
She said that every time

This is the second in a set of three tunes with the talented Steve Vercelloni https://soundcloud.com/steve-vercelloni 

Steve was nice enough to send over three really delightful guitar tracks. I did quick demo versions of vocals on all of them, and we decided we liked all three just the way they were, rough and raw. Steve added his nifty low vocals, mastered them, and here they are!

You Make the Grey Skies Blue

What’s the purpose of the night
Just to make it so I can’t see you 
What’s the purpose of the dawn
It just takes away the dark my eyes were getting used to
What’s the reason for my thoughts
They just make my heart feel so confused
What the devil’s going on
How come nothing goes the way I think it’s supposed to
    
I’m just confused
I’m so confused
And I need you
 
What’s the reason for your smile
It’s so disarming and I’m thinking
I could never even tell
If it’s persuasion or the real thing
But you clear the clouds
And bring the blue
You take the grey
And you make the grey sky blue
You make the grey skies blue
You make the grey skies blue

You Make The Grey Skies Blue - with Steve Vercelloni (second of three)

I done put the mustard in the ketchup bottle with this one.

Start (How did you know ) written Oct 2023 

I’ll start from the beginning 
I was surrounded by love 
And it all became too much 
When I Stood on the cusp 
Of adulthood 
I can see it was never enough 

You had no support but you still remained
The most positive person I’ve ever seen constrained 

How did you know 
I’d hide if love took control
How did you know 
It would all take it’s toll 

You stopped me in my tracks 
I had never felt such a force 
It told me I should reason 
With my darkest thoughts 
Because in the light 
Is where life is taught 

You had no support but you still remained
The most innocent person I’ve seen restrained  
 
How did you know 
I’d hide if love takes control
How did you know 
It would all take it’s toll

New Way Home

1dada4ever- jetfuel ft iayze [Bighead Manzo Matthew Gomez Iamsynthetic]

The title of this track is a reference to the wartime term "no quarter", which also means "take no prisoners". The 'blood' red flag is often used as a symbol of this horrible practice and, in fact, it is considered a war crime to refuse to spare the life of anybody - i.e. to refuse quarter. The term "No Quarter" prompted me to research the meaning, which is where the concept for the song title came from.

In the original 1999 version of this tune, the only instrument was the echo-y electric piano sound, which was influenced heavily by the song "No Quarter" by Led Zeppelin. This is another tune I'd recommend listening to with headphones because of the heavy panning movement throughout. 

(special thanks to Chris [cgmaness] for the thoughtful perspective that reminded me of this incredible video, which speaks for itself. more like screams!  www.youtube.com/watch?v=9x7FGbW3IVc) 

Make music not war.

All comments welcome, and don't be shy to be critical or suggest ideas to help me improve.

lyrics:
Ramona? is this what u really wanna?
Is this the life you have always dreamed of?
Listen your heart and go on!

Ramona? you gotta fight for what u really wanna
maybe you're the new madona
a mother, an actor in "Lavapies"

You don't need to get scared, don't be afraid you're almost there
these bright lights, the diamonds on your dress

Forget the past and make it last, we are getting old you gotta move fast
the whole universe is almost on your feet

Star canines
Here will cuddle
The ice left
Photonic ringing on lichens
Inspire
This assonant hackberry tree
A few Celadons that the desired clouds munch on
Yesterday ogami from the sieve of the borders
Slowly rises the magma
Of billions of souls
Father falls
But he can call god
I will cast a spell on him

Good Vibes Coming

there's is a lot that is wrong and a lot to be done. It won't happen if we don't do it. learn from the past.don't repeat mistakes.the world is the same anywhere you go. Differences among people are exaggerated insignificant quirks twisted by those who want to remain in power. we are all more alike than different


lyric

in the time that's left to me ,let me touch what's left to feel
in the time that's left to me, through the dim light let me see
I never needed to travel the globe cause the world always came to me

cause the sun,the moon, the rain the snow are constant everywhere
people laugh, people cry,people hope and people fear
nothing's different from here to there
it's all the same,nothing to fear

when will we learn that we have the power to turn dark into light
to feed the hungry and cloth the cold
with no damage to our body or danger to our soul

our lives are short but our legacy is long
the past must be our guide through the night to the dawn
so we can touch what must be touched
so we can see what must be seen
and not stay locked alone in ourselves for our tiny eternity

R-High Stepping High

J.J. Terrell - Original Music Score ,Arrangement, Piano, Cello on.soundcloud.com/ivM1E
Ross Smithe - Original Lyrics, Vocals, Mixing/Mastering and Final Production on.soundcloud.com/Qt1a1
Josh Clary - Mandolin, Bass on.soundcloud.com/PynZc

 This is a song written on the piano by JJ, who wanted to share the creative process with two of his esteemed colleagues. He asked Ross to come up with some vocals and lyrics, which Ross did in a profoundly deep way. His experience with both life and singing is really evident in this. Then JJ asked Josh to add his multi-instrumental skills to the mix. So, Josh added bass and mandolin, with the great direction of JJ and Ross. Then JJ added some synth strings to the mix, too. Finally, Ross mixed, produced, and mastered it. 
  This is the first time, hopefully of many, that this trio has worked together. JJ and Josh, of course, are in the Eclectic Collective together, but this was their first time working with Ross. They were both really impressed with his work, and found him a real pleasure with whom to create. 
  We hope you enjoy listening as much as we did recording this.

NIGHT TIME

This song sprung out of a practice session, with the lyrics, especially the first verse, just tumbling out.
It's another love song for my partner.  Can't seem to stop writing them, but that's how much she means to me.  Will be more worried if I stop writing them.  
Hope you enjoy it.

Rapid Rivers (Blazing Across My Mind)

Smooth regression was written to remind us that it's too easy to slide away from God. it can be  smooth sometimes without us even knowing. when we do that, we regress back. 

Smooth regression

Hi, My name is Johnny Mc Farlane, I am an Indie songwriter from Ireland. I write, play, produce and distribute my own music. I try to write songs that will mean something to whoever may be listening. I try to express feeling and emotions through my music, I try to hit the heart and soul of whoever may be listening and to pass on my feelings through my lyrics and my music. A lot of the songs I write come from Personal experiences, some are pure imagination, but all try to carry a message of Hope, Fait, understanding and a spiritual message of love. I am just one voice in the wilderness but together we are stronger. Thank you so much for listening to my music. It’s a real honour.
