for me really powerful lyrics and idea. like the vocals distant sort of effect

wow, man, this, like all your music, is such top quality! really well conceived, played, executed, and produced.  infectious vocal melody and harmonies. this song has it all, my friend! great job!

This is the same voice as The Eternal Now ... wheelwright? Lovely tone.... great song too.

Brilliant. I do love the chorus, beautifully simple in lyric and melody and makes one want to listen more closely to the verses to discover what is. 
Just great

It sounds like Beckenstein playing with Bowie.

When I was little
I ran through the grass
Got chased by a lion
But I bit it on the arse
I must have been in my pram with Nunky
Safe with Nunky

L'il Boy!
Are yer safe with Mother, safe with Nunky?
You better run, you better hide!
Li'l Boy!

Run from The City
Run from The City
Run from The City

Give it back to Mother
Give it back to Mother
Give it back to Mother
Now

Heart Of The Forest

I know, I know I'm not enough
Bring back the feeling of the love
Too numb to ever feel it stung from you
In time, I know I'll be okay
Just gotta take it day by day
You were always there to pave the way for me
------------------------------------------------
All feeling gone from the way that you are
All limbs are numb and the things that I touch
------------------------------------------------
Well, I'm holding up traffic too much
All of this is on my clutch
Not in the mood for another fight
All these arguements are blind
------------------------------------------------
I know, I know I'm not enough
Bring back the feeling of the love
Too numb to ever knew it stung
Short end, I always seem to get
Wishbone, it breaks before I twist
And now you don't know I exist, well fine
------------------------------------------------
All feeling gone from the way that you are
All limbs are numb and the things that I touch
------------------------------------------------
Well, I'm holding up traffic too much
All of this is on my clutch
Not in the mood for another fight
All these arguements are blind
------------------------------------------------
Waiting in the sunset for someone
To come and save me from the place, I'm done
Hearing voices, static radio
I'm waiting till' I travel down the road

Not Enough

ハレルヤ　ベイベ　アネモネの　香りのような　きみに会いたい
ハレルヤ　ペイネ　アメフリの　香りのような　きみに会いたい

くるみ色の　愛を待って　手をつないで　蹴り上げる空
ラズベリーのチョコをひとつ　恋人のくちびるに
いろんな国　いろんな人　いろんな歌　世界平和の朝へ
投げりゃあ　おなかもすく　はらぺこのブルース

ゆらゆら　ゆらら
黄色い潜水艦　ゆらら

なんて素敵　キメラの街　地図にはない　きみのこころと
僕は似てて　わかりあえる　花のように　おだやかに
ひかりの森　カフェにふたり　ワインをすこし　世界平和の昼へ
ふわり　酔っぱらって　恋人のそばで泣く

ハレルヤ　ベイベ　音楽と　美しいきみよ　ありがとう
ハレルヤ　ペイネ　喜びと　悲しみの雨よ　ありがとう

くるみ色の　愛を待って　手をつないで　蹴り上げる空
ラズベリーのチョコをひとつ　恋人のくちびるに
なんて素敵　キメラの街　地図にはない　きみのこころと
僕は似てて　わかりあえる　花のように　おだやかに

愛の旅も　恋の旅も　きみの旅も　世界平和の夜へ
続く　くるり踊る　雪どけの　想い出と
こぼれたんだ　いつのまにか　しあわせにも　できたはずなのに
こぼれたんだ　いつのまにか　恋人の側でなく

Crossing time-zones
Godforsaken deserts
Midnight in transit stations
The illusion of freedom
Written in blood written in stone

It's just an idea
It's just an idea

The twisted wreck
Of a helicopter gunship
A distant call to prayer
Sweet liquorice and bitter cigarettes

It's just an idea [...]

He carries her in his heart
She's all he had now all he has
White knuckles holding fast
His mother's photograph in a young man’s hands

Now everything is lost
Now everything is lost

They say half the future’s buried in the past
But the fallen will not weep for us
When it’s our time to choose

It's just an idea [...]

Lyrics: 
So, don't you think it's getting old now
Empty rounds, sprayed all around
So, don't you think it's getting old now
It could be different now
Somehow

Not another one, oh no

Wake up

not another one - Jonathan Beckenstein/cw

I usually don't sit on unreleased tracks... but this one started last Winter as a proposed collaboration that never came together. After giving it another listen recently, it resonated with me as an especially good track to put out during the week of the Summer Solstice! This is my favorite time of year and I'm finding there is something really nostalgic about this one. Once again the minilogue xd is heavily featured.

Summer Skies

'Coming And Going' is a fusion track inspired by the endless coming and going of the many birds and insects who both live in and visit my garden every day. Today is particularly lovely and the garden is simply alive with sounds....

Lyrics:
Joey held the bottle upside down
Squeezed it and the smile turned to frown

It was the ketchup precum! 
Once a delicacy grilled under the sun
and now a wet hot dog between a soggy bun

Oh yeah ketchup pre cum
That's what you get when you don't shake before you squeeze

I didn't really fancy any discolored water with my meal tonight
I was really looking forward to those tater tots, Before I took a bite
A magnificent meal that was shattered by one squirt
A puddle that stares me in the face from the plate 
Left me in a world of hurt

Ketchup yeah!
Precum No!

My Burgers!
My fries!
One squirt could meet the demise of the food that I eat

You don't want
You don't want
You don't want
You don't want
The ketchup precum No no no!
You don't want it slaughtering your plate
It's a liquid that everyone hates
Don't you know that no one wants to deal with the dreaded ketchup precum

The Mysterious Decibel - Ketchup Precum

https://soundcloud.com/chips-in-nose-and-ears had a beat, and I had a chord set…we shared them and started following different inspiration lines to get this eclectic but coherent suite:

CINAE-R SUITE (1) Rapped Andalucia (with chips-in-nose-and-ears)
(https://soundcloud.com/esemanolain-ruizzo/cinae-r-suite-1)

CINAE-R SUITE (2) Tirolese Jam (with chips-in-nose-and-ears)
(https://soundcloud.com/esemanolain-ruizzo/cinae-r-suite-2)

CINAE-R SUITE (3) Rasta Pasta (with chips-in-nose-and-ears)
(https://soundcloud.com/chips-in-nose-and-ears/cinae-r-suite-3-rastapasta)

This 2nd movement got a funk rock vibe, by hand-playing bass instead of my usual programming. Descriptive guitars and much more complete this number's story teling.
