Lyrics by Ralph Donkin

Your face is familiar
That's what she said
But your name just escapes me
Gone right out of my head
I'm thinking back
To when we were young
Just give me a minute 
It's on the tip of my tongue

It was clear in my mind
Why she got so upset
So clear that's the problem
My one big regret
I knew that she loved me
With feelings intense
But I couldn't stay with her
The fall out immense

SKELETONS IN THE CLOSET
THEY WON'T LET ME REST
MEMORIES THAT HAUNT ME
MEMORIES, MEMORIES UNBLESSED

Bridge

Solo

I wouldn't admit it
Even though I was wrong
I've lived with that feeling 
Of guilt for so long
Whatever the reason
It was not meant to be
But I've never forgotten 
What she meant to me

Chorus x 2

End

Skeletons in the closet (Cooper/Donkin Collaboration)

'you can('t) change' with Scratch Kelly 

Scratch: beat, synths, backing vocals, production, art
Scotty: guitars, lyrics, vocals 

I can't even blame you, girl,
after I've learned about your world.
Fucked up, but, still, that is that.
I have given all of me,
and sometimes I did believe
that we'd create a habitat. 

But then tonight happened again,
and I've lost my love, and best friend. 

It didn't need to escalate,
then you wanted to stay out 'late',
drink some more, and party hard.
Then when it was time to leave,
you spoke shit I'd rather disbelieve, 
and now I have to leave. It's hard.

Because when you're straight, you are great.
But, I keep making the same mistake
of forgiving you. Now, it's too late.
My heart is torn, but, so is fate. 

You can('t) change.

you can('t) change (with Scratch Kelly)

Lyrics:
Ceiling over my head, only thing I see
Door to open sky is closed tight

In a sad way these four walls come closing in
Nail pops in the drywall pushing out

Anticipate the hour freedom arrives
Anticipate open sky

Pour into ceramic cup
Water over magic bean
Roast by angry fire
Grind up like bone
Sky without limit

Bearing focused toward my destination
Targeting door to open sky

Anticipate the hour freedom arrives
Anticipate open sky

Where imagination is
The only limitation

Reaping the harvest, bringing all of it in
Claim another hard earned milestone

Anticipate the hour freedom arrives
Anticipate open sky

Where imagination is
The only limitation

Coffee Is The Sky

THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW
Where you came from
What’s in your name
How to grow a garden
Such a sinful shame
Won’t find it in your schoolbooks
History and Science
The truth has been cooked
To keep you in compliance

CHORUS
They don’t want you to know
They don’t want you to know
They don’t want you to grow
They don’t want you to know, whoa

[Music]

How money works
How to get ahead
How to heal your body
Rid demons from your head
Won’t find it in the library
Lookin’ high and low
Just pray to Mother Mary
Sit back, enjoy the show, no

They don’t want you to know
They don’t want you to know
They don’t want you to grow
They don’t want you to, want you to, want you to know

[Music]

Scroll through the web
The discrepancies
Like trying to navigate
The Seven Seas
Won’t find it in the Bible
If you don’t bear the light
Just who’s your greatest rival
Just who to fight

They don’t want you to know
They don’t want you to know
‘Cuz they don’t want you to grow
They don’t want you to, want you to, want you to know..

[Music]

THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW

Listen to A Little Bruce Lee Goes A Long Way by Hand on the Rock on #SoundCloud
https://on.soundcloud.com/VfBTjH1PDx6SIDEcWZ

We inspire each other and it's so cool man.
Thanks Hand on the Rock. It was the seed of the above song that put the Bruce Lee Water in my head a while back. That's another little wonderful experience nugget that we can deliver eachother when expressing art and again if guessed by a computer you won't get those fine details and the cherries you choose won't be yours. That cherry is ours because we experienced it together. It was real! It marked properly a moment making it memorable while evoking feelings. Now new feelings link those moments. We don't get that connectivity of feeling and nice moments with art that's handed to us. We have to take it from the start to the finish and reflect on it... Music is our therapy let's not lose that

I think I'm starting to realise... When you add the amount of instances our experience offers us and multiply that by the amount of neurons... When it comes to making art which is the business of discovery ... We have the high ground still.. We have too many connections and we have the force of feeling ... The force cannot be handed to you by a computer! EVER


The Jedi Order

Star warred order for Lucas screen
For now we mute our own mind scream
One Obi Wan or it's mission Darth
Be Yoda of light or emperor of dark

It's Galaxies of neurons filling your skull
Intention to action discerns dark/light pull
Do we silence Luke and be that evil?
Your imperial pain
Wind whooshed mind Eagle

Emanations
Controlled neuron strings
Observational Force empowers all things
The things of you
The things of me
Rings of resonance
Choose jail or free

Whether Youngling, Padawan, Knight or Master
No control of others finds your Yoda faster
Grand master of me
Light like leaf
Yet all cosmic power in this chief

All magnetars tinder like in brain
Those sly supernovas tinder like in my name
Being your blackhole controls right of passage
Singularity known
Freeman charge controlled brassage
Energy
You
Bruce says, Be Water...Be new
Memory of liquid
Good and great
Guide all with pathway
That inner peace make
Deliver us light
Force for all good
Do we dopamine scroll to dark wimp with hood?

The Jedi Order
Good mind be broader
Octillions of atoms
Sayeth Bruce, Be Water
Whether Youngling, Padawan, Knight or Master
Be your liquid Light
Grand Yoda pasture

Use the force
Be Water

Lyrics:

OK
I wanna hear it every day
It’s OK

Alright
Want to hear you say you might
It’s alright

It only seemed like yesterday
It’s funny how things turned out that way
Didn’t hear what they had to say
Yesterday

Hello
The words I wanna hear you say so
Only Hello

Goodnight
Don’t wanna hear you say goodnight
You know it’s right

It only seemed like yesterday
It’s funny how things turned out that way
Didn’t hear what they had to say
Yesterday


Ok – I wanna hear its

something just for fun

Step on the floor
Shoes untied
Spin me around
Let’s glide
Let’s glide
No heavy hearts
No cloudy skies
We’re chasing stars
Oh
Wild and wide
 
Blues me blues
Babe
Blues me blues
Shake these shadows
No time to lose
Blues me blues
Babe
Blues me blues
Dance it off
We choose
We choose!
 
Let the rhythm pull you in
Feel the beat
Beneath your skin
Troubles fade
The night begins
Life’s a game
And we’re here to win
 
Blues me blues
Babe
Blues me blues
Shake these shadows
No time to lose
Blues me blues
Babe
Blues me blues
Dance it off
We choose
We choose

Ooh-yeah
Don’t stop
Don’t stop 
Feel the heat
Let it pop
Let it pop
One step forward
Never back
Groove attack
Groove attack

Blues me blues
Babe
Blues me blues
Shake these shadows
No time to lose
Blues me blues
Babe
Blues me blues
Dance it off
We choose
We choose

Blues me Blues

Original title: I like to sample old drums

Open collaborations have always triggered me and they have to be cooked, when they are still hot. So when I listened to the new track of Marquis I knew immediately what I wanted to do and created a remix in a few hours. My approach is, that I have replaced the warm and organic sounding drum-loops with cold and sterile sounding synth-sounds. Though I am far from being a Hip hop-producer I tried to apply a polished and modern attitude. I painstakingly recreated the groove of the original loops, shifting sounds exactly to the same place. All sounds are made with the Zebra-synth and mixed in Logic. I used two raps and tried to create a smooth transition between them.

Lyrics 
Take The Max Down To Hillsboro  
Hey maybe when were done collabing  
You should  
Take the max down to hillsboro  
Kickback and relax 
We could have fun 
Eat some cake at Decadent Creations  
Chill and bake in the sun, then Run to the Bagley park pavilion 
When the rain has begun 
We don’t use none umbrellas here 
Just jackets from Columbia  
I could buy you one cause there Is no sales tax,  
I don’t lie, just facts 
We all like to try to put bike racks on our Subarus  
What chus got to loose  
Boos is only sold  
At the liquor store I got one near me called 
Wholesale Liquor store 
Yo what more  
Do you want to know From the Portland Airport  
You can go  
Take the max down to Hillsboro It’ll cost around 4 to 6 bucks  
And take about an hour and 45 minutes 

This One Goes  
This one goes out to Portland breweries even though I don’t drink keep making them brews 
This one goes out to Washington Park for the oldest west of the Mississippi zoo 
This one goes out to Beaverton Nike workers cause you know we keep wearing them shoes 
This one goes out to Hillsboro  
This one goes out to Cornelius, every day I go to work I’m just passing through 
This one goes out to Forest Grove Pacific University keep collecting them dues  
Fuck going into debt for school



Heartscore and The Couch King - I like to program new drums

I don't know, why I am into Hip Hop and EDM lately, but I can not help it. And I have no idea where to publish it, so SC is my place for my out of place tracks. I was very impressed by the power of this woman defending the rights of the Maori-people, so it inspired me to make a track out off her speech at the New Zealand parliament.
