Blomster

Skvattram in the wood
What made that awful sound?
La la la la la 
La la la la la
You ran home with your birds
La la la la la

Summertime, summertime
There is a question in the wind
Bright, white light
pressing your head to the ground
It´s hard to face such clarity
and not fall apart

You are a shapeshifter now
You are a shapeshifter now
Shapechanger now
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Summertime, summertime
There is a question in the wind
Bright, white light
pressing your head to the ground
It´s hard to face such clarity
and not fall

Skvattram in the wood
What made that awful sound?
You ran home with your birds
And that wasn´t cute

Skvattram in the wood

We Are Not Robots

I don't know what she just did to me
I thought she was above such childish things
She said to me my truth will never change
But please don't expect me to act my age

Sometimes I just want to be child
Sometimes I want to get a little bit wild

Because we are not robots
Nah nah nah nah nah

Because we are not robots
Nah nah nah nah nah

She said people don't know me, they just see
My mistakes and eccentricity
When you get to know me you will see
I'm trying to escape reality

Sometimes I just want to be child
Sometimes I want to get a little bit wild

Because we are not robots
Nah nah nah nah nah

Because we are not robots
Nah nah nah nah nah

Nah nah nah nah nah
Because we are not robots
Nah nah nah nah nah

Because we are not robots
Nah nah nah nah nah

Sometimes I just want to be child
Sometimes I want to get a little bit wild

Because we are not robots
Nah nah nah nah nah

Because we are not robots
Nah nah nah nah nah

We Are Not Robots

Grey on Grey is the only song in our entire catalogue which was entirely written by Mark, lyrics and lyric melody included. We first performed and recorded this song acoustically with our live band back when Watchglass first began. I cannot help but remember, as an incy wincy thorn in my side, that our bass player, Chris, happened to comment very enthusiastically on the lyrics…, just something like “excellent lyrics,” but as I was the lyricist for the band and he’d never made such a comment on any of my songs, AND because Mark professed himself not to be a lyrics writer (or singer, which he can also do quite beautifully), well it almost felt unfair… almost. I was far too enamoured with the whole new vista of singing songs and writing songs to be put off by lack of a compliment. I just noted it to myself and thanked heavens I was at least able to sing the song and that I was evidently working with an all round song genius (albeit overly humble about some of his skills). This single is a new take on Mark’s masterpiece, Grey on Grey (aka Blind Princess).

Blind princess running down the stars
Playing in the dark
Lit by reflections neon lights wet streets
We all want to shine
So bright

I want to know if you remember
All of my memories
I want mine to fade away
You just leave me hung and haunted now

I’m scattered and he is gone
Just like the rain falling from the heaven
Stain of my eyes are lost
In a kind of grey on grey.

And when you fell on me
Cold yet so soft
You soaked through to my skin
Shivered and I was gone
Lost in a kind of grey on grey
I’m like snow on a summer’s day
I know I’m not meant to stay

I’m scattered and he is gone
Just like the rain falling from the heaven
Stain of my eyes are lost
In a kind of grey

Playing in the dark
Running down the stars
Blind princess
Playing in the dark
Running down the stars
In a kind of grey

Grey On Grey

A great colaboration with @xian3, many thanks man it was a pleasure again...

Stranger

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went
From anywhere close to somewhere
And then back to anywhere again

Well I could tell a thousand tales
Well i could tell a thousand lies

I could tell a thousand dreams
That might not be true
Could formulate a thousand lines
You won’t believe that they’re true

Well, I could tell…
I could run a hundred thousand miles and more…

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went
From anywhere close to somewhere
And then back to anywhere again…

- solo -

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went
From anywhere close to somewhere
And then back to anywhere again

One thing asking myself,
Has it been true ?
Did i really run a thousand miles
Just to get hold of you ?
One thing that i must ask again
Has that been true ?
Did i really run a thousand miles
Just to get hold of you ?

Well, i could tell…
Well, i could tell…

Did i really run a thousand miles
Just to get hold of you ?
Did i really write a thousand lines
Then to get rid of you ?
I could run a hundred thousand miles
Well, i could run a hundred thousand miles and more
With a stone in my shoe…

■概要(Overview)
窓を開けたら秋の風が入ってきた。見上げるとあの頃と似た空。
遠くから少年野球の声がする。
・・そんな感じの曲です。
---------
リバーブ多めな感じになりました。へへ・・。
ピアノは無謀にもアドリブにチャレンジだ！(少しだけ)
う～ん、もっと練習しなさい！(と自分に言う)

I opened the window and the autumn wind blew in. Looking up, the sky was similar to the old days.
I could hear the sounds of little league baseball from afar.
This song has that kind of feel.
---------
It has a lot of reverb now. Hehe...
I'm going to recklessly try improvising on the piano!(Just a little)
Hmm, practice more! (I tell myself)

■歌詞
「ひつじ雲」

窓を開けて風が通り抜けていく
グラウンドでは子供たちの声がした
太陽はそこにいるだけ

あの頃にもしも戻れるのならば
懐かしい人たちに会いたい
聞けなかったこと　飲み込んだ言葉
伝えられる気がするから

迷いの中　手探りの中
過ぎてゆくだけの日々かもしれない
だけど　いつも　この世界は
輝いていたんだね

ひつじ雲が浮かんでいる
青空が少し見える
遠くまで来てしまったみたい
あの頃と似てる空
二度と戻れない日々
私の思い出

「あの頃」と思う時がくるなんて
手にするばかりの「今」ではなく
こぼれ落ちたもの　旅立った人も
永遠だと思っていた

未来のため　歩き続けて
たどり着く頃は　何が残るのか
こぼれ　欠けて　この世界は
輝いているんだね

ひつじ雲が浮かんでいる
青空が少し見える
遠くまで来てしまったみたい
あの頃と似てる空
かけがえのない今日を
抱きしめていたい

■Lyrics (Google translation)
"Sheep cloud"

When I opened the window, the wind blew through
I heard children's voices on the ground.
the sun is just there

If I could go back to those days
I want to meet nostalgic people
Things I couldn't ask, words I swallowed
I feel like I can convey them

In doubt, in groping
Maybe the days just pass by
But this world is always
It was shining

A sheep cloud is floating
I can see a little bit of the blue sky
It seems like I've come a long way
A sky similar to those days
Days that can never return
my memories

I never thought there would come a time when I would think of ``that time''
Things that have fallen, people who have departed
I thought it was forever

What will remain after continuing to walk toward the future?
This world continues to shine even as it continues to fall and chip away.

A sheep cloud is floating
I can see a little bit of the blue sky
It seems like I've come a long way
A sky similar to those days
I want to embrace this irreplaceable day

Something terrifying is coming to our house for dinner.
Will it eat WITH US or will it eat US? 😱😉

The spooky season has started and I took up the challenge of creating a slightly disturbing atmosphere in my music. It was another quick production. Here is the result. Certified A.I. Free production.

To craft this piece I've used mostly patches from built-in Ableton Live synth: Drift with little help of, also Live's, Instrument Rack's patches and (the premiere in my compositions) free plug-in from Sonuscore (@sonuscore), The Orchestra Elements - STRINGS Full Sustain patch.
https://www.sonuscore.com/shop/the-orchestra-elements/
Samples used:
Impact Layered Reversed, FX Dark Impact, Kick Reverse Bghn, E-Piano Reversed Cmin7, Crash Dry Session Hard 2, Crash Bluesbreak from Ableton Lives's Core Library.
Drum MIDI Loops:
709 Kit groove 11-128bpm
709 Kit groove 10-128bpm
both from Ableton Live's Pack "Singularities"

Thanks go to my friend/test driver/ideas giver: ꝁ𐌰v̷̷v̷̷ꝁ𐌰 @grzegorzkawka and my reviewer @bartosz-podborowski-179897410

Something Scary is Coming for Dinner

This is the title track of my new instrumental EP called INK.
In between projects I felt the urge to experiment with distortion and compose only with instruments I had never used before. Just for fun. Just for enjoying the creative part of making music.
I ended up with three compositions that I grew very fond of. A soundtrack for dark nights. A surge of anger and defiance. A desire to rest.
I hope you'll enjoy the work and that it can become your soundtrack somehow, too.

RATTLESNAKE

X-Good for you, bad for me

The North Pole was melting 
And fearing a catastrophe
Santa hitched up his reindeer and flew to Washington DC

The Air Force saw him approaching 
They scrambled a fighter jet
They almost shot him down before they realized he wasn’t a threat

They escorted him to the white house 
To meet the president.  
They posed for a photo together and then Santa Started to vent.

He said please mister president
I know you want to drill baby drill
But all those CO2 emissions are making the North Pole ill

He said I’m sorry Father Christmas 
But I’m not interested in energy that’s green
it’s more important to me that we have cheap gasoline
And free Toys made by Elves in the North Pole sounds very nice
But you’re taking away American jobs, so I won’t take your advice

Then Santa said that since the ice will soon melt away
He asked the President if they could move to the USA

He said you and Misses Clause are welcome
because you look just like me
But we can’t have those pointy eared elves
Living here in the land of the free

So Santa flew back to the north pole 
And sitting on the last patch of ice
Was a giant spaceship that even Elon Musk thought looked very nice
The Elves had built it while he was gone
tears of sadness ran down Santa’s face
And they all got on the ship, and they flew off into outer space

Now every Christmas Eve people look up at the sky
And they think about those good old days when Santa used to fly
Toys made by elves in the North Pole sure would be nice
But at least we get to buy our gasoline for a very cheap price.

The North Pole Was Melting

A fool.

Aloha

I wanted to create something simple and special. This is not exactly a Christmas song, but since it became ready during Holiday season, I thought it would be a good idea to create a Holiday video as well. Hope you enjoy it!
