Free From Time: 20 Great New Songs from the SoundCloud Community to Start Your Weekend

Song about love as a shelter against inclemency of life (translated lyrics below).

By means of some weather sounds, I oppose precise dark parts to more colored ones, with serious work till 3:25 when I had fun jamming, so you can skip to 4:20 & enjoy great outro !!

Clarinet was borrowed from my sister for summer practice. Reed & keywork managing is difficult for a beginner, & home cohabitance was set on serious risk, but with painful effort I got something presentable, or so I hope, as not willing to repeat soon...

LETRAS / LYRICS

ENTRA SIN MIEDO / COME IN WITHOUT FEAR

Fuera hay truenos; / Outside there are thunders;
entra sin miedo. / come in without fear.

Fuera hay viento; / Outside there is wind;
entra corriendo. / come rush in.

Soy tu refugio protector; / I am your protective shelter;
entre mis brazos estarás mejor: / whithin my arms you’ll be better:
ven a buscar mi calor. / come to find my warmth.

Dentro hay fuego; / Inside there is fire;
entra a verlo. / come in to see it.

Dentro te espero, / Inside I wait for you,
entra sin miedo. / come in without fear.

Entra sin miedo (No clarinet was harmed)

Sound seems appropriate for this theme  : ))

Evocative song to listen to without hurry... most serious job I've done lately, say no more.

Letra / Translated lyrics:

SI TÚ ME FALTARAS  /  IF I MISSED YOU

Abre tu risa mis ojos,  /  Your laugh opens my eyes,
olor a café por la mañana…  /  smell of coffee in the morning…
Para murmurarte un beso  /  So as to whisper you a kiss
me levanto de la cama.  /  I get up from the bed.

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

Me despierta muy temprano  /  Wakes me up very early
el olor de tu cuerpo a mi lado.  /  the smell of your body beside me.
Para que se haga de noche pronto  /  So that it gets dark soon
rápidamente me he levantado.  /  I have got up fast.

Siento que mi vida se desliza por el sabor tan suave de tu cuello y de tus besos.  /
I feel my life slips along such a soft flavor of your neck and your kisses.

Puedo ser ligero como el aire y filtrarme con mi fuego en tus sueños y en tus deseos.  /
I can be as light as air and percolate with my fire into your dreams and your desires.

Busco el momento cada día de volver para gozarte, para olerte, para amarte…  /
I look for the moment every day to come back so as to enjoy you, to smell you, to love you … 

para amarte, sí, aaaay! para amarte.  /  to love you, yes, aaaay! to love you.

Juega tu lengua en mi cerebro,  /  Your tonge plays in my brain,
recorren mi espalda tus caricias.  /  your caresses cross my back.
Miro el reloj y suspiro,  /  I look at the clock and sigh,
deseando que acabe el día.  /  wishing the day to finish. 

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

Si tú me faltaras (de tedio moriría)

I worked on doing a remix for "Reimagined" a couple of months back but never got time to finish it due to moving house/life. Thought i'd share it anyway since they've announced the remix competition.
I didn't finish the middle section so that bit sounds beige. It was also more of a mix practice opportunity for me and didn't change things much except for the guitars/verses/drum sounds.

Check out their remix competition:

Fantasmas en el ático
colapso dimensional, horror entre las sombras
las telarañas cubren este lugar
todos mis recuerdos se han ido
los baúles esconden mis ilusiones

Fantasmas en el ático
colapso dimensional, horror entre las sombras
Espantando a los nuevos habitantes
esta casa tiene una gran historia, y sólo yo la sé
porque estoy ya difunta
Fantasmas en el ático

colapso dimensional, horror entre las sombras
Fantasmas en el ático
colapso dimensional, horror entre las sombras.

KEEP SAFE

So you point out the sky
The beauty
The money
The jobs
Your dreams may have gone
But you show them the pictures
Painted
In the clouds
It’s hard to tell them
How much you love them
So you just ask them 
To keep safe

We did our best
You build a home
Now they’ll have to do the rest
We did our best
You build a hope
Now they’ll have to do the rest

And loving them
Is loving yourself
Harder than expected
And hard to show
But sort of expected
And not easy
You want them to outrun you 
But you don’t want them to run too fast

We did our best
You build a home
Now they’ll have to do the rest
We did our best
You build a hope
Now they’ll have to do the rest

Don’t miss the last bus
Don’t walk home alone
Saturdays we’d watch the football
We never really watched the football
I’m just imagining we had a better time
Than we did
I’m walking home alone now…

We did our best
You build a home
Now they’ll have to do the rest
We did our best
You build a hope
Now they’ll have to do the rest

But they don’t see it at the time
You build a home
You build a hope
But something’s always going wrong
Going wrong
They don’t see it at the time
They don’t see it at the time

Between Worlds | A Forest/Night-Psy Experience

Composition: Karlit-O-Kay
Acoustic-Guitar and Vocals: Karlit-O-Kay
All other instruments, Production and Sound-Mix: Karin-Maria Brunner.
At this point: Special thanks to Karin-Maria, for her very own careful, patient and prudent approach to the production of the song

When I met my wife almost 25 years ago, none of my friends and relatives gave a single damn about this relationship. We were quarrelling often and got into each other's hair over every little thing.
Interestingly however, some couples, who at that time were somewhat complacent about their great harmony, are no longer together today. At some point, so much conflict dirt had accumulated under the flowery carpet, that the permanent smile turned into hostility, contempt and finally: Separation. 
My wife and I still quarrel today - although not as intensely and often as before. But then as now these sometimes painful disputes often lead to a an even deeper and more tender encounter. 
In view of this dialectic, I had the idea of naming this song, which describes our relationship, "Wild Harps". 

Wild Harps

No, that's not possible
No, it can't be 
These perennial squabblers 
Can't even be together anymore

Always murder and mayhem 
With a lot of screaming and door slamming
Come on, don't tell me lies 
That's all over and done with already

Ooh no, it's true
Wild Harps
Do they stick together 
This couple, that lives 
In spite of minor scratches 

I bet it goes on forever
Even further

Many friends thought 
They won't last long
How they clashed
The safety fuse is about to blow

Harmony and peace 
Was a foreign word for them
Many marriages have been divorced 
But they survived every relationship murder

Ooh yes, it's true
Wild Harps
Do they stick together 
This couple, that lives 
Even with small scratches 

I bet, that this forever...
I bet, that this forever...
I bet, that this forever...

...Goes on

... That this goes on
Bet, bet...
...That this goes on
Bet, bet...
...That this goes on

Deutscher Originaltext:

Wilde Harfen

Nein, das gibt`s doch gar nicht
Nein, das kann nicht sein
Diese ewigen Streithammel 
Können doch gar nicht mehr zusammensein

Ständig Mord und Todschlag 
Mit viel Geschrei und Türenknall`n
Komm erzähl mir keine Lügen
Das ist doch schon längst aus und vorbei

Ooh nein, es ist wahr
Wilde Harfen
Halten die zusammen 
Dieses Paar, das lebt 
Trotz kleiner Schrammen 

Wetten, dass das noch ewig weitergeht
Noch weitergeht

Viele Freunde dachten 
Das halten die nicht lange aus
Wie die aufeinander krachten
Da fliegt die Sicherung doch gleich raus

Harmonie und Frieden
War für die beiden ein Fremdwort
Viele Ehen wurden schon geschieden 
Doch sie überlebten jeden Beziehungsmord

Ooh ja, es ist wahr
Wilde Harfen
Halten die zusammen 
Dieses Paar, das lebt 
Trotz kleiner Schrammen. 

Wetten, dass das noch ewig weiter…
Wetten, dass das noch ewig weiter…
Wetten, dass das noch ewig weiter…

….Geht

….daß das noch weitergeht
Wetten, Wetten…
…daß das noch weitergeht
Wetten, Wetten…
…daß das noch weitergeht

Together with Karin-Maria Brunner

Widle Harfen (Wild Haprs)

Wilde Harfen

Wilde Harfen (Wild Harps) (Engl. Lyrics In The Intro)

Lyrics:
I could sit in the corner all night
I can mingle with the people
And have conversations with everyone
But you don't invite me to your parties
Any longer in your frontal lobe

You're using reverse telepathy
My messages keep bouncing back to me
Reverse telepathy

Oh, can't you see?
Won't you adjust your frequency?
We've been on this wave length for so long
 I feel that there's something wrong

You're using reverse telepathy
My messages keep bouncing back to me
Reverse telepathy
My love. it  keeps coming back to me
Reverse telepathy, reverse telepathy (can't you see?)
I feel like i'm dining on 
Edible electricity!
Reverse telepathy

Darling, won't you come back to me?
You're using your
Reverse telepathy
My messages keep bouncing back to me
Reverse telepathy!

Reverse Telepathy

So long before the trip has gone.
The empty faces up on the wall.

Ooh... before I die... Ooh
I'll never say goodbye

Sometimes you say goodbye
to all the people and their mysteries
around and the mountains never chased.
And it's history we've been through.
All the tricks that they've done to us.
All the ones that you've got to know
that sometimes just die,
in my world, in your world,
it's time, my time, your time, to say goodbye.

Ooh... before I die... Ooh
I'll never say goodbye.
Ooh... before I die... Ooh
I'll never say goodbye.

Sometimes you say goodbye
to all the lies, and leave behind
the one you were to see there is no chase.
And it's history we've been through.
All the tricks that they've done to us.
All the ones that you've got to know,
that sometimes just lie,
in my world, in your world,
it's time, my time, your time, to say goodbye.

Ooh... before I die... Ooh
I'll never say goodbye.
Ooh... before I die... Ooh
I'll never, ever, say goodbye.

Sometimes you walk away
from all the pain, and wonder why
you feel alone in a dancing crowd.
And it's future I've been dreaming of.
All the games that they played with us.
All the time that we used to have,
and now we are just being trapped
in my world, in your world,
it's time, my time, your time, to say goodbye...

Ooh... before I die... Ooh
I'll never say goodbye
Ooh... before I die... Ooh
I'll never say goodbye

My time to say goodbye
to the illusion of time to go.

Keeping It Together (Lyrics)

From Coast To Coast
We're Racking Up The Miles
Cadillac At The Speed Of Light
North To South East To West
Every Moment Takes Away My Breath
We're Keeping It Together
We're Keeping It Together


I Kiss My Baby
And I Hit The Floor
Elvis Playing On The Radio
East New York To Los Angeles
Get Your Kicks On Route 66
We're Keeping It Together
We're Keeping It Together


Come On Come On
Dont You Want To Be Free
Come On Come On
Take A Ride With Me
Come On Come On
Throw Your Arms Open Wide
You're My Bonnie
And I'm Your Clyde


From Coast To Coast
We're Racking Up The Miles
Cadillac At The Speed Of Light
North To South East To West
Every Moment Takes Away My Breath
We're Keeping It Together
We're Keeping It Together
We're Keeping It Together
We're Keeping It Together
We're Keeping It Together
We're Keeping It Together

Keeping It Together (Soul Shaker EP)

A track from the album Time and Tide, available on Bandcamp
amandasanderson.bandcamp.com/album/time-and-tide

Lyrics, music, mixing, production: Verulium
https://verulium.bandcamp.com/releases
Vocals: Amanda Kim Sanderson

It started in Garstang
Heading out for the M55 it's a beautiful motorway
But in the wrong direction 

I first saw Jimi in 75
Stood on the cowling of a seaplane not alive
But more like a saviour

I sat by the lakeside
Checking up on the stove and the gear for a very long holiday
To where the spirit takes me

He landed like a star on Derwentwater
His face was drawn so I offered him a quarter
Of Kendal mint cake

Driving the ghost of a famous 60s rock star
Around and around ’til we've built the energy
Living in the back of a camper van
The lakes are great and we do the best we can
One day we'll make it

We're parked in a lay by
Filling up with some beans on toast and a very nice Chardonnay 
To mark the occasion

In a white silk shirt and skin tight pants
He can't sing a note and he's banned all instruments
You've got to respect it

Driving the ghost of a famous 60s rock star
Around and around ’til we've built the energy
Living in the back of a camper van
The lakes are great and we do the best we can
One day we'll make it

We pin our hopes upon
The comeback show of the chosen one
At the Woodstock of the north
In Deeply Vale with Sandie Shaw and The Doors 

Driving the ghost of a famous 60s rock star
Around and around ’til we've built the energy
Living in the back of a camper van
The lakes are great and we do the best we can
One day we'll make it

But the times have changed
The stars have left?
We keep on chasing happiness none the less
One day we’ll find it

Time and Tide

Driving The Ghost Of A Famous Sixties Rock Star

A special song about my Dad. (a tribute to John Prine's style of music)
Lyrics by Tony Harris that inspired Lizzie 
Vocal & Music by my friend Lizzie Taypen

I WOKE UP EVERY MORNIN'
TO THE SOUND OF HIM PLAYIN'
HIS OLD HARP IN THE KEY OF "C"
A GREAT MEMORY FOR ME

THEN HE WAS READY TO START HIS DAY
GRABBED HIS LUNCH...WAS ON HIS WAY
ALWAYS ARIVING EARLY AT THE JOB SITE
CAUSE BEIN' LATE WOULD NOT BE RIGHT

(CHORUS)
MY DADDY WAS A CARPENTER
HE LOVED DRIVIN' THEM NAILS
A SMALL TIME CONTRACTOR
ALWAYS FOCUSED ON DETAILS
NO AIR TOOLS BACK THEN
TO HIM…IT WAS A SIN
IF YOU DIDN'T USE A HAMMER

HIS WORK DAY'S...THEY WERE LONG
FILLED WITH HARD WORK AND SWEAT
NOW DON'T GET ME WRONG
MY DAD HAD NO REGRETS

HE LEARNED HIS TRADE
IN THE ARMY DURING THE WAR
WORE OUT MANY A SAW BLADE
AND HUNG MANY A DOOR

(REPEAT CHORUS)

ON SUNDAY WE WERE ALWAYS GOIN'
TO THE COUNTRY CHURCH NEXT DOOR
HIS BIBLE, HE WAS ALWAYS READIN'
DIDN'T WANT TO BE THE MAN HE WAS BEFORE

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Des paroles simples mais chantées avec le coeur 

Un air dans la tête

eh J'voudrais que tu saches que je t'aime encore,
et que je viens prendre sur moi tous les torts,
revivre ensemble les souvenirs des jours heureux,
quand venait l'été, ce ciel bleu dans tes yeux,

Dis-moi que tu penses encore à moi,
Dis-moi que ton coeur n'est pas fait qu'en bois,

avant que l'hiver ne frappe à ma porte,
viens me retrouver, je suis toujours près du port,

j'espère être encore dans tes pensées,
et que je ne me fais pas trop d'idées,
pas trop d'idées,
des idées ...

Je t'attendrais jusqu'à la fin des temps,
revoir ton visage, ton sourire si éclatant,

Simple words but sung with the heart

An air in the head

I would like you to know that I still love you,
and that I come to take upon myself all the wrongs,
relive memories of happy days together,
when summer came, that blue sky in your eyes,

Tell me that you still think of me,
Tell me that your heart is not only made of wood,

before winter knocks on my door,
come find me, I'm still near the port,

I hope to be still in your thoughts,
and I don't have too many ideas,
not too many ideas,
ideas ...

I'll wait for you until the end of time,
see your face again, your smile so bright,

Relaxing Summer

The cameraman
“The Camera Man” by Three Photons is an indie-blues rock track with strong 60s/70s experimental vibes and gritty, analog production. It blends crunchy rhythm guitars, ambient leads, and emotionally raw lyrics that explore themes of isolation, media distortion, and urban disillusionment.

I imagine a cameraman sees a lot of things he doesn't want to see or believe ;-)

Lyrics

Verse 1
It's a camera eye
I look away
or I go blind
it ain't pretty
livin alone in this dirty city

Chorus 1
Just like Elvis
when he hit his prime, I shoot at the TV
I hate lookin in the camera eye
when you're staring at me

Verse 2
Hey girl
it ain't pretty
going on down on this empty life
you sure are witty
I can't stand one more lie....

Chorus 2
Just like Elvis
when he hit his prime, I shoot at the TV
I hate lookin at the camera eye
when you're staring at me

Outro
Just like Elvis
when he hit his prime, I shoot at the TV
I hate lookin at the camera eye
when you're staring at me
Just like Elvis
when he hit his prime, I shoot at the TV
I hate lookin at the camera eye
when you're staring at me

There’s a map upon your face
Says join the human race
Often whispered sweetly

There’s a hunger in your eyes
Tells your stomach not to lie
Often whispered sweetly

Pooh pooh pooh pooh!

Is it magical?
Not so physical 
Metaphysical
Not invisible
Not divisible
Nothing risible 
Shoot the animal, Officer Dibble

Pooh pooh pooh pooh!

Often whispered sweetly

They rely on the ways of a gun 
Keep it simple
Keep it pithy
They rely on the ways of a gun

Something in your eye
That’s tugging at your heart
Something in your mind
That’s tugging at your heart
Something in your eye
Is tugging at your heart

Pooh pooh pooh pooh

Never A Moment Wasted

What to think alone at midnight

The songs I've always loved writing are those that come easily, whether they are 'soul-baring' personal expressions or 'thought-constructed' forms. 
This came very quickly.

Sketch: "Bereshit" (Brian Peters) 

I’VE GROWN USED TO YOU
(Brian Peters)

I’ve grown used to you
What can I say
I can’t seem to tell it right
Any other way
I get to feeling all the things that you do
Ooh babe, I’ve grown used to you

I’ve grown used to you
Does it seem bad
Like it’s always been this way
For the little time we’ve had
Feels like we’re riding on an old country bus
Ooh, babe, I’ve grown used to us

I’ve grown used to you
I’ve grown used to you

I’ve grown used to you
More than a wife
Like I’ve known you somewhere else
In another life
Feels like we’re locked inside an old memory
Ooh babe, and you’ve grown used to me

I’ve grown used to you
Close as I can
For all the distance that they say
Between a woman and a man
You’re still a mystery, I don’t know where you’re at
Ooh babe, and I’ve grown used to that

I’ve grown used to you
I’ve grown used to you

(Solo)

I’ve grown used to you
At the end of the day
I can’t seem to tell it right
Like you heard me say
Guess I believe in magic and déjà vu
Ooh babe, I’ve grown used to you

I've Grown Used To You

‘Riders On The Dike’ features the vocals of UK singer/songwriter Amanda Kim Sanderson. Thank you for your friendship and the way you rock the track Amanda! :) It is such a pleasure to work with you and we are mighty proud that you joined us for this song! Follow the amazing Amanda Kim Sanderson on Soundcloud: @phoebeelena


The cover artwork comes from an original idea from the New York Artist Louis Renzoni, who said something like that Para Lia uses the same colors like he does - so the idea of a collaboration was born. Louis artwork runs throughout the album where the artists’ work features more extensively with both featuring in an online virtual music/art exhibition:

Thank you @mrcagey @three-photons @andrew-borderick @subjecttorevision @terrywigmore @fadysporz for your feedback on the mastered stuff!

follow me, we're on the way
to make more out of today
and when we fail we change course
milestones won't move
but our creeping paths are pretty cool
we're the today's soft option fools
i don't know if it's too late
i don't know how long we'll stay
the idea is to go higher
fly over by my side
with curiosity in mind
we are on the loose
we are the riders on the dike
hand me over my fate
and stay with me along the way
if you come around i am okay
i don't know if it's too late
i don't know how long we'll stay
the idea is to go higher
fly over by my side
with curiosity in mind
we are on the loose
we are the riders on the dike
the riders on the dike

Riders On The Dike (Feat. Amanda Kim Sanderson)

Vincent van Gogh passed away July 29th, 1890,
“Vincent’s Letter” was released July 29th, 2020

I figured there’s no better time than 130 years later…

When I was very young, I had dreams about his paintings. 
 His paintings inspired a deep love in me for art at an early age, and I wanted to be a painter like him

 Music won me over, but I remember being about 10 or so - when I first started playing music a lot - and I promised this self-portrait painting of Van Gogh that I’d write a song (or several) for him that a lot of people would hear.  Yea I made a verbal promise to a painting.  
It wasn’t the first or last time...  I was a weird kid.

The funny thing is?  This isn't even Van Gogh, as I much later found out.  It's "Dr. Gatchet", who was a physician who was treating Van Gogh.  Vincent painted him, and they actually look a lot alike!  But I made the promise to this painting, so here it is
   I hope you enjoy it

Vincent’s Letter
____________________
home, it’s a little loud
a love breaks me down every day
a little more, she comes & slips away
my love hurts me now
a little more every day
love simply breaks me down, 
a little more every day
I’m hearing you crying inside,
 why don’t you look outside and find yourself?
I’m trying every day, a little more in every way

my heart, my hands are sleepy
my foot is stomping on the paint
a little love, colors break my heart
a little more every day, 
a little love, comes in breaks my heart
a little more every day
a little love, cousin, breaks my heart
a little more every day

my home, will you break me down?
a little more every day
our love, cousin, breaks me too
a little more every day…
a little home, my!…
crazies out of the sky!
it’s a yellow one!
I’m wondering why?
I got my heart beating still
mixed together with the colors that spill
I got my heart cousin
a little more every day
heavens harps, cousin, come to break me down
a little more every day

Vincent's Letter

I FOUND A KNEE

Dedicated to, in this order, my wife, @chuckaaron and John Prine. ;)

Baby’s got draw full of knifes in the kitchen
And told me she won’t take more
If I am to live
I guess I’m going to change

No more hanging at the bar to two thirty
Flirting with the loose girls there
My wayward ways
Are more then she
Will bear

It’s not like I am cruel 
She knows my love is true
Well, mostly true
Half of the time
And when I’m away
My heart don’t stray
Although other parts may
From time to time

She told me there’s no chance that she would ever leave me
Always by my side
Should I run 
There is no place to hide

She promised me that she would always bring me flowers
Each and every day
She can bring them home 
Or plant them on 
My grave

And I thank you dear
You’ve made it perfectly clear
That my end is near
If I don’t change
And it’s sweet of you
That you did not already do
What you would like do
From time to time

It’s not like I am cruel 
She knows my love is true
Well, mostly true
Half of the time
And when I’m away
My heart don’t stray
Although other parts may
From time to time

Baby’s got draw full of knifes in the kitchen
And told me she won’t take more
If I am to live
I guess I’m going to change

No more hanging at the bar to two thirty
Flirting with the loose girls there
My wayward ways
Are more then she
Will bear

And I thank you dear
You’ve made it perfectly clear
That my end is near
If I don’t change
And it’s sweet of you
That you did not already do
What you would like do
From time to time

From Time To Time

Let's face it, this has been a rough year. Here is a track that started as a jam track (and still kind of is) that became a blues song. Thanks to Aura for the awesome photos, one of which I used for the song art. If you can hang in for all 7 minutes, that is awesome! 3 humble recommendations for this song:

1. Lights down 
2. Volume up
3. Headphones on
:)


Composed, arranged, performed, and produced by:
Tyler Cressman 

Backup Vocals: Maynard Cressman

Instruments: Gibson Les Paul, Schecter Bass, Drum Machine, Organ, Steinway Piano, Tambourine, Martin Acoustic Guitar, Synth, and I think that is it. 
Here are the lyrics:

When I look at 2020 baby, I see one color. How bout you?
When I look at 2020 baby, I see one color. How bout you? What do you see?

When I look at 2020 baby, my eyes only see blue.
When I look at 2020 baby, my eyes only see blue.

Hear that 2021 train a' comin. Know exactly what I'm gonna do. Got a plan baby?
Hear that 2021 train a' comin. Know exactly what I'm gonna do.

Gonna snatch right up my ticket, might even get me two.
Gonna snatch right up my ticket, might even get me two.

Gonna paint you a picture baby, need one color.....it's blue.
Lemme get my brush! (Very Long solo lol)

Thanks for listening :)
