For Jools, Bringer of Gifts

Stick It To The Man: 20 Rocking Rants

WORLD GOES SO FAST

Unite

Like the short lyrics' meaning "love has no hurry", music makes contrasts on rhythms and textures even inside each part: Main theme starts with fast drums on slow melodies & has a DANCEABLE? 2nd part with lead bass guitar; Central theme makes fast tracks become slow to the left channel and vice-versa, progressing to a POST-ROCK? atmosphere. Meanwhile, two lead guitars and echoing voices complete the contrasting piece. I hope to get your feedback !!!

Letra / lyrics: No hay prisa. / There is no hurry.

No hace falta darse prisa; / There is no need to hurry up;
todo va rápido. / everything goes fast.

No hay prisa. / There is no hurry.

Lo que ha de suceder / What is to happen
termina por ocurrir. / gets to happen in the end.

No hay prisa. / There is no hurry.

Te quiero, te quiero, … / I love you, I love you, …

Ser impaciente / Being impatient
sólo puede hacerme sufrir. / can only make me suffer.

No hay prisa. / There is no hurry.

Blankets and the Couch King ft. Noa - Baby It's Time To Smash

in a high noon heat... 'draft demo'

thoughts keep spinning in my head
fast, faster, soon too fast to handle
i need pills to stand up
still stuck in those dark days when you were nerver around
i know my story isn´t the worst, but it´s mine
and it should concern you daddy
coz there were times when i really needed you to keep me safe
but you were never around, to meet those bullies, abusive lovers
and my all-around self destructive behavior

i know i´m suppose to be a big girl now, and don´t blame you for what i´ve become or didn´t become but it´s hard when i see that
 it all comes down to, self-esteem, self worth and there daddy you could have made a difference, you could have built me up but you were never around 

if you haven´t figured it out this song is dedicated to all people with responsibilities who chose not to take it, not to take it

and while i´m at it i´d like to turn the spotlight to all teachers who dosen´t give a fuck if they help or break young people´s life
yeah you need to go to school, but really i´d be better off in one piece than with a fucked up low quality education, coz i can´t really use that if i´m dead, which is the outcome many times when teachers choose to look away again daddy you were never around

Last but not least i´d like to send a big pile of shit to all the assholes who sit on 99.9 % of all assets in the world, for thinking you deserve it, thinking you´ve worked for it, well you don´t, you didn´t and in the end if you don´t wake up we come and kill you and take all your stuff, you know history, that´s what´s gonna happen and fuck you for even thinking you deserve it more than the woman working her ass off on the rice field, and the man who carries poison just so we can eat the fucking chiquita bananas, it´s  insane and daddy you brought me to this fucked up world but you were never around




to daddy

A picture of frustration. 
Not saying that this is 100% autobiographical, but... 
Here's an alternative version with ALL SmiLes  : https://soundcloud.com/the-acoustic-grill/imaybesmiling-better

I MAY BE SMILING NOW 

Like a thing on a string
lay in bed wait for 
the clock to ring
I may be silent now
I may be silent now
This clock is running late
Miss the bus I have to 
be there by eight      
If only I could think 
like a thing on a string
Now under the tower
Goin’ up I could do 
with a shower
I may smiling now
I may smiling now

Go go go keep up 
that flow oh oh 
Gonna let them know
I can’t do that again
Row row row push for
that doe oh oh
Gonna let them know
that I‘m not one of them
As they think to thrill me 
that is when they kill me most
one day sometime when ?

Switch onto full power 
Wake up you’ll be 
home in fourteen hours
I may smiling now
I may smiling now
The clean machine could break
This job is giving me 
A killing headache
If only I could think 
like a thing on a string
Like a thing on a string
lay in bed wait for 
the clock to ring
I may be silent now
I may be silent now

Human Nature (Post Apocalypse)
(Collab with ALPHIO - Test/Sept 2017)

It's Human
Human Nature

We mean to Love forever 
But
Love just ebbs away

We vow to Live forever
But
Life just fades away

It's Human
Human Nature 
Just
Human Nature

We strive for Acceptance
and
We toil for Abundance
But
What is the Cost?
- When your Spirit gets soured
And All Hope is Lost?

It's Human
Human Nature
Just Human
Human Nature

Human is as Human Does
We Laugh, We Cry
Maybe do some Good
And sow some seeds
And the we Die
You ask me Why?

It's Human Nature
Just Human Nature ......


Human Nature (Post Apocalypse) (Collab with ALPHIO - Test/Sept 2017)

dust
your're a dust
who goes up to the satellites
cause you took them for the stars

dust
mr dust
your eyes crave for sunlight
when you only have to look outside
blue images project on your skin
you're stolen by a screen
and what's left for me
poor poetry
dirty songs about technology

i need you to tremble
tremble
shake in fear and pain
tremble
tremble
show me that you care
tremble
tremble
to look like a human again
humanly insane

you click
and click
and your skin gets thick
click and click
cause it's easy not to feel
why did i put on that dress
you wouldn't care if stars fade away
if you have the internet
sky laughts at your lifeless gaze
too weak to enter my chest
you have such a perfect shell
don't you know
to be human is to care

i need you to tremble
tremble
shake in fear and pain
tremble
tremble
show me that you care
tremble
tremble
to look like a human again
humanly insane

A Poem About Dreams

Inspired by the quote from Antonio Porchia,"In a full heart there is room for everything and in an empty heart there is room for nothing".

It's hard to
To do the right thing
When all the colours turn to black
You don't know
What the day brings
And no one ever has your back

Hollow in your heart
Following the pain
All the way to hell
And back again

You're walking
In a minefield
Praying you step the right way
No magic answer
Has been revealed
Confusion is the order of the day.

Hollow in your heart
Following the pain
All the way to hell 
And back again

Hollow In Your Heart

Thoughts are crowding my head
Like Dragon Eggs
Cracking open
as I mentally caress each one
Revealing an exotic creature
-a symbol of a future path
- a future meeting
- a future destination 
How can I sleep
with such a magical visitation?

Dragon Eggs (spoken word)

Hole
I wish I was a runner
But I ain't got no legs
I wish I was a lover
But I ain't got no heart

It's cold in here 4 x

I wish I was prince charming
But i ain't got no tongue
I wish I was a believer
But I ain't got no soul

It's cold in here 4 x

Mass production 
will lead to
Mass Extinction
Industrialisation is
an overwhelm
Now is the Time
To consider what we Need
as opposed to what we Desire
To think creatively
To create thoughtfully 
To return to Ourselves
To return our support
To our Planet
NOW is the Time


NOW IS THE TIME

Life’s Graffiti 

Feeling flayed alive
flesh stripped to the bone
Bleeding, reality wrenched
from the heart of the home 
Battered and Bruised
and mortally tired
Feeling hung up strung out
bitterly marred 
Life’s graffiti etched 
into body and mind
We become 
Indelibly Scarred

Life’s Graffiti

lyrics:
so my boss called me into his office 
when i was first hired he wasn’t in charge
it was someone else
she was cool 
but she got fired 
there were rumors of embezzlement 
and everyone wanted a change anyway
so what ever
another boss was hired and he was cool too
both of my first bosses seemed to care about the people and we would frequently get raises
it felt like everyone had a say 
i suggested everyone’s pay get adjusted based on the pay scale 
to make things all equal, you know
and he did it
but he got fired too
something about not getting along with the
board of directors
and I had never even once seen the board of directors 
they never even spoke to any of us

Now’s the time to organize
Organize, organize  
Now’s the time to organize 
Organize, organize 
Organize, organize
Organize 

aaaarrr
they tryin’ a play us all shady like that
but we see’in through their games
’n lies
get the hell outa here 
ya suckers
aaaah
now back to where i left off
we got a temporary boss for a little while but she didn’t seem like she cared and was just there until someone else was hired
when they hired the present boss, he was supposed to be temporary as well
but he was a dick from the beginning
it felt like he thought he was superior to everyone even though he didn’t know shit about this job
and never worked in this field 
he frequently called people into his office and yelled at them while banging his fist on the table
we could all hear him outside of his closed door
a lot of us still liked our job and working with each other but things were no longer the
same 
the energy had changed 
there was no more transparency and communication 
and even though I am pretty sure he could tell everyone thought things had gotten worse for the company 
for some reason he decided he wanted to keep this job
and the board of directors let him permanently stay
probably because he had a plan to save the business more money which he probably did
cause positions were getting cut and no one was getting raise anymore 
the fuckers

man, we need to stand up and once again realize our collective power
cause they playing us all shady
convincing us to be content 
but we can’t go down like that 
hell no! 

so like I said my boss called me in
to his office like a sucker 
but i wasn’t giving in
asked what i thought about 
some of my coworkers 
wanted me to rank ‘em 
but i wasn’t taking orders 
asked if i thought that 
he should give raises
i said hell yea and he said how much should we pay then
i look him in the eye 
with an incredulous stare 
and said
as much you can 
get the fuck out of here

Couch King Presents With Meezerpocalypse - ORGANIZE!

Always loved this song by Carly Simon. It’s so easy to relate too because no matter what your situation or station is in life you immediately think of someone you know when you hear the chorus for the first time.  I hesitated doing this cover because I couldn’t ever recall a male interpretation of this song. After doing some research several male artists including Marilyn Manson have given tribute to this song. That’s when I decided to go for it and record this version. 

In her memoir Carly Simon revealed that the song was about Warren Beatty. Go figure.

PROOF OF LIFE
Your heart beats
the rhythm of
your Conscious Self
Your blood pulses
the journey of
your physical body
Spirit pervades
Spirit is the fuel
Together it is
Proof of Life 
Which we begin
with a cry
and leave 
with a sigh
But Love
Oh Love
Love is the Essence
Love is the Rhythm 
Love is the Pulse
Love is the Fuel
and it has nothing 
nothing to prove.....

If you want to ride
That perfect wave
Knowing your Balance
Knowing your Power
Don't be afraid
To crash and burn....
Love is a parachute 
Step out into the Darkness
Without a hand to hold
Drift in a downwards spiral
Towards terrors untold
Land on the Earth
Both feet on the ground
Your beating heart
The only sound
Notice the waterfall
As it cascades down
Walk into the water
And know you won't drown
This baptism of Fear
This Surrender of Self
Will carry you through
To the Valley of Light
Where all that you are
And all that you can be
Are One and the Same
And Know that after all the pain
This Initiation will set you free, again....🙏❤

Love is a Parachute

I bought Youth a passport
and invited it to stay
We were going to have such fun
Carousing the night away
But Time had another plan
Too cruel to anticipate
It hijacked the opportunity
And offered Age as my Fate......

And Spontaneity is slack
And Hope is waning
The Day is almost done
So little time left for Fun
Memory is my Companion
As I weave this map of Life
We carouse this Dance together
Spinning towards the end of Strife.....

Tempus Fugit (it’s legit.!)

If we can sing then we can hear a song  
 
If we can dance then we know we belong 

If we can love then we can be as one 
                                      
But we gotta have faith if we wanna be strong 


If we can cry we let our feelings show 

If we feel pain then we can let it go 

If we can smile then we will always know 

What it is to be alive in this beautiful world

It's The Time

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
