You don't accuse, you don't moralize. You describe. That's what makes this song so good. 💫

Cool song Joe, enjoyed this one. Great hook!

Howdy Joe and how have you been? I'm been away from SoundCloud and am trying to catch up! Let me begin by saying that this is another one of your lyrical masterpieces. Our country is in disarray and I'm surprised the orangutan has put a red hat on the Statue of Liberty yet! France should ask for their beautiful statue back because we now are definitely not worthy of it! Outstanding job!👍😎✌🏼

this is the perfect way to get a political point across in these scary times. think you may have missed the "any similarity to real people or real events or real stupid red hats is entirely coincidental" caveat though. not plugging my own work / blowing my own trumpet but my latest one has perhaps a DS inspired point and video

Yes, I sure hope we keep this beautiful lady of liberty.

Your vocal is great, excellent lyrics too 🔥

This song is a bit campy. The core of this thing is pure Isley Brothers' formula from the 70s -- they had these no nonsense, hard slamming funk songs that just went on forever (and you want them to). And there's also a healthy dose of 80s/90s slinky funk guilty pleasures like Grace Jones, Sade, & Seal.

is it finally living this feeling inside
I waited for hours with a slow burning fire
now is not the time to evade in the face of desire

but that's how it goes when you hold the control does it feel right
you're letting it go and I know that you know are you satisfied

the rules of the game are so easily changed
let's be honest about it lonely hearts will stray
I am still willing but your love is failing me every night

oh but that's how it goes when you're running the show  how you feel it
you're letting it go and I know that you know I can't steal it

out in the city new hearts align   
but tonight I am only alive for yours and mine

Je bat mon créateur sur son propre terrain 
J'inventerai les règles, je choisirai la fin
Et quand lui joue sa vie, moi je ne m'encombre pas
D'amour et d' égo
Demain je règnerai parmi tout les drapeaux
Lui si grand, si petit, le poète du monde
Le peintre de la vie, l' inventeur de la bombe
Le vivant achevé dans les pas de son Dieu
Appelant au secours
Demain sera trop tard, sera son dernier jour

Il est pas fou, P'tit Paul,
Y fait l' guignol !
Quand on dit qu'il est fou,
Ca me rend folle.
L'est pas timbré, y fait exprès.
C'est pour me faire rigoler.
Il n'est allumé pour de vrai
Que quand je ris à ses côtés.
Comm' rien ne peut plus l'arrêter,
Faut qu'ils lui pass'nt la camisole.
Il continue s'il m' voit pleurer
Parce que ça me désole. P'tit Paul.
Il est pas fou, P'tit Paul,
Y fait l' guignol !
Quand on dit qu'il est fou,
Ca me rend folle.
Il se rebelle, il est farouche,
Il n'aime pas quand on le touche.
Moi seule, j'ai le droit du sol,
J’appuie  ma têt' sur son épaule
Alors, il sourit, ses yeux louchent
en les relevant vers le ciel.
J’ lui pose un bécot sur sa bouche
Et il se fait tout miel. P'tit Paul.
Il est pas fou, P'tit Paul,
Y fait l' guignol !
Mêm' qu'on dit qu'il est fou,
Je l'aime comme une folle.

P'tit Paul

He's not crazy, P'tit Paul,
He's a clown!
When they say he's crazy,
It drives me crazy.
He's not crazy, he does it on purpose.
It's just to make me laugh.
He's only turned on for real
When I'm laughing with him.
Like nothing can stop him,
They've got to put him in a straitjacket.
He goes on if he sees me crying
Because I'm sorry. Little Paul.
He's not crazy, P'tit Paul,
He's a clown!
When they say he's crazy,
It drives me crazy.
He rebels, he's fierce,
He doesn't like to be touched.
I'm the only one with a right to land,
I rest my head on his shoulder
So he smiles, his eyes squint
as he raises them to the sky.
I put a kiss on his mouth
And he's all honey. P'tit Paul.
He's not crazy, P'tit Paul,
He's a clown!
Even though they say he's crazy,
I love him like crazy.

P'tit Paul avec Liora

March is such a "two-faced" month in the northern latitudes, it can caress with a kiss of sunlit warmth, or slap the face with high winds and freezing temperatures--maybe in the same day!  It is so fickle these "ides of March" which Shakespeare told us to beware of.  The mood and playing of this song came upon me like one of those Ides, riffing on something much more mellow, when I randomly strummed an E major chord, then again with more force, then faster, stronger...I had to capture the moment, but like March weather, you can't be angry all the time, and so the caress of the Cordoba nylon. You might ask what the mellow riffing sounded like I was first practicing on--wait for it:)

Lyrics. 
Once in a while
The stars collide
Once in a while
The waves will rise

I’ll be your diamond in the rough


Once in a blue moon
The heart will sing
Once in a blue moon
My heart will sing

I’ll be your diamond in the rough…

Diamond In The Rough

All I ever wanted.
=========================
Rekha Iyern (Voice)
Manu (Delaflor) guitar riff
Midisound (Drums, bass, guitar, and synths).

Concept created in late 2022

When I heard Rekha years ago, I couldn't stop thinking about how I could adapt a song to her voice.

Thanks to Delaflor, who had already collaborated with her, she was able to contact me and offer me a song. After several weeks of work, Manu added an excellent guitar riff that partially camouflaged my horrible synth guitar.

thanks to my two traveling companions on this occasion for their patience and dedication.

They got on boats, and they sailed across the ocean hoping for a better life
They left behind poverty, famine, hardship and strife
She lifted her lamp behind the golden door
She welcomed them with open arms 
But we don’t need those people any more 
We’ll use robots to tend our farms
There’s an angry mob wearing red caps
And they’re pulling on a rope
They’re trying to knock down that statue that gave so many people hope.
They say a rising tide lifts all boats but now it’s every nation for itself
As the billionaires and oligarchs accumulate more wealth
We’re all just living on this rock floating in the vastness of space
You’d think we’d find a way to co-exist as one human race
There’s an angry mob wearing red caps
And they’re pulling on a rope
They’re trying to knock down that statue that gave so many people hope.
Someday if you’re standing there waiting at the pearly gates
With a bunch of other people waiting in line to get into heaven
And you’re filling out God’s paperwork so you can immigrate 
How will answer that question did you love or did you hate 
There are people who call themselves Christians who don’t practice what they preach
They see a man whose down on his luck, and they consider him a human leech
There’s an angry mob wearing red caps
And they’re pulling on a rope
They’re trying to knock down that statue that gave so many people hope.
There’s an angry mob wearing red caps
And they’re pulling on a rope
They’re trying to knock down that statue that gave so many people hope.

TITLE: HELL ZONE
_____________________________________________________

LYRICS: 
(Verse 1)
Woke up choking on the flames of dread
Dreams burned out
All the colors bled
Shadows creeping
They’re under my skin
This hell zone’s pulling me back in

(Verse 2)
No escape
Just a looping track
A one-way street
No turning back
The air’s so thick it could break my bones
Life’s chaos screaming through the stones

(Chorus)
Hell zone
No time to rest
Heart's a riot
Pounding my chest
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Living on the edge of a landslide

(Verse 3)
Voices echo like a broken bell
Laughter’s gone
Replaced by a yell
The clock’s a joker
Playing its tricks
Time slips by in shattered ticks

(Bridge)
This chaos cuts like a sharpened blade
Every step feels like a bad trade
The sky’s on fire
The ground’s a maze
Lost in the smoke
I’m stuck in a haze

(Chorus)
Hell zone
No time to rest
Heart's a riot
Pounding my chest
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Living on the edge of a landslide

Nowhere To Run

Songs with a twinge of humor (and some a bit more serious).  
I do not use AI to create my songs. 
Recently I have had the urge to pick up my guitars (Taylor 114ce and Fender Squire) and I have been trying to use more guitar in my songs.  
My go to .vst plug ins are  EZkeys 2, EZ Bass and  EZ drummer 3) and my DAW is Logic Pro 11. 
I welcome your comments and enjoy listening to all the great music on SoundCloud.
