90’s indie vibes for your listening pleasure — Manchester in the house

Can’t sleep ?

WARNING: This is one of my Avant-Garde theatrical pieces and NOT a love song! It's an instrumental about the dangers of war and the horror of a Nuclear bomb being dropped somewhere! Perfect timing for today, right? It's not a pleasant theme or thought but I'm really worried about the mindset that this world is in at the moment, even the doomsday clock is the closest it has been to midnight ever! Whichever country is stupid enough to drop a nuke, will be the country that dooms us all! The planet may survive but humanity and the animal kingdom will certainly perish with the nuclear fallout. I'm a veteran and I don't want us to end in such a selfish, cowardly, idiotic manner such as this!! 

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/V76mqew2Ji8

The video is a remake and a remix and it deals with the reality we all must face now due to some very stupid people in charge here and around the world! This a WARNING to everybody, if you love your family, friends, children, neighbors, anyone! Please, let's remove anybody in power that thinks this is a good idea! There are many such non-thinking individuals in power around the world right now, that simply couldn't care less about you and your loved ones! Please watch the video, it goes with this soundtrack! A NUCLEAR WAR WILL NOT HAVE A WINNER! We will all be losers!! Please share this song/video with all your friends and family. A warning to the wise from a musical vet. Take care and beware and may God bless us all before it's too late.🙏✌🏼

"OBLIVION" (Video - https://youtu.be/V76mqew2Ji8)

"Suo Gân" (or Huna Blentyn) is a traditional Welsh lullaby by an anonymous composer.
It was first recorded in print around 1800 and the lyrics were captured by the Welsh folklorist Robert Bryan (1858–1920).

The Song was featured in Steven Spielberg's 1987 film "Empire of the Sun", and I used to sing it to my kids :).

Piano by my daughter Awen.

We hope you'll enjoy.


Lyrics:

Huna blentyn ar fy mynwes,
Clyd a chynnes ydyw hon;
Breichiau mam sy'n dynn amdanat,
Cariad mam sy dan fy mron;
Ni chaiff dim amharu'th gyntun,
Ni wna undyn â thi gam;
Huna'n dawel, annwyl blentyn,
Huna'n fwyn ar fron dy fam.

Huna'n dawel, heno, huna,
Huna'n fwyn, y tlws ei lun;
Pam yr wyt yn awr yn gwenu,
Gwenu'n dirion yn dy hun?
Ai angylion fry sy'n gwenu,
Arnat ti yn gwenu'n llon,
Tithau'n gwenu'n ôl dan huno,
Huno'n dawel ar fy mron?

Paid ag ofni, dim ond deilen
Gura, gura ar y ddôr;
Paid ag ofni, ton fach unig
Sua, sua ar lan y môr;
Huna blentyn, nid oes yma
Ddim i roddi iti fraw;
Gwena'n dawel yn fy mynwes.
Ar yr engyl gwynion draw.

English

Sleep my darling, on my bosom,
Harm will never come to you;
Mother's arms enfold you safely,
Mother's heart is ever true.
As you sleep there's naught to scare you,
Naught to wake you from your rest;
Close those eyelids, little angel,
Sleep upon your mother's breast.

Sleep, my darling, night is falling
Rest in slumber sound and deep;
I would know why you are smiling,
Smiling sweetly as you sleep?
Do you see the angels smiling
As they see your rosy rest,
So that you must smile an answer
As you slumber on my breast?

Don't be frightened, it's a leaflet
Tapping, tapping on the door;
Don't be frightened, 'twas a wavelet
Sighing, sighing on the shore.
Slumber, slumber, naught can hurt you,
Nothing bring you harm or fright;
Slumber, darling, smiling sweetly
At those angels robed in white.

Lyrics:
I am the man they call Sue Monday
I used to ride in Tennessee
They finally caught me on a Sunday
Now they gonna crucify me

I’m gonna be dancin’ 
On nothing at all

Caught me some red legs down in Georgia
Where they been burnin’ down the mills
They had our sisters in their saddles
And I got me four and twenty kills

Yeah they were dancin’ 
On nothing at all

And I made it right
Yeah I made it right
And I made it right right right right

She must be wonderin’ where I am now
She must be lookin’ for me
But I’m locked up in Louisville, Kentucky
And they are never gonna set me free free free

I’m gonna be dancin’ 
On nothing at all

And I made it right
Yeah I made it right
And I made it right right right right

Never lonely

"Balance" continues Moon and Aries’ genre-defying evolution, blending Neo Soul, Trip-hop, R&B, Electro pop soul into a dreamy, retro-futuristic composition. Jordana's evocative vocals float over hypnotic beats, a mellow guitar riff, and a soulful saxophone, creating a cinematic mood that is both introspective and transportive.  
This is the duo’s most meditative work yet — a lush invitation to explore the spaces between movement and stillness, emotion and reflection. 
"We wanted ‘Balance’ to sound like soul floating through a future skyline — sensual, spacious, and glowing with quiet intensity." – Moon and Aries 

Perfect for fans of Portishead, Morcheeba, Bonobo, and Zero 7, “Balance” showcases the duo’s unique ability to merge electronic sophistication with soulful vulnerability.

A song about finding true love

Fallen
 
Father where are you, I am lost
I cannot see you in the dark
When I reach out all I feel
Is the cold steel that I brought
I know I’ve fallen insincere 
But they always told me you’d be near
If my heart was broke 
Did it break enough?

I have fallen insincere
I can’t wait for you another year
Wondering if your ghost will reappear
I have fallen insincere
What's the point of living in your sphere
If you’re never home, to be sincere
They always told me
You were the only
One to fear

Father forgive me, I am cross
Followed the riches that I lost
Now it’s up in smoke
And I’ve had enough

Further I’ve fallen, every year
But she was the only one who cheered
When I stumbled home
She is cool and tough

I have fallen insincere
I can’t wait for you another year
Wondering if your ghost will reappear
I have fallen insincere
What's the point of living in your sphere
If you’re never home, to be sincere
They should’ve told me
You’re not the only one to fear
That's a mistake 
I’ll never remake
I’m tired of faking
Your love in vain
When you promised me
We’d be there
Naked in air
But everything we’ve shared
Becomes fallen
I'm fallen
I'm fallin'

Father forgive me
I am lost
Into another
Angel’s arms
And she will never ask
If I did enough  


Fallen

[Verse] She walks in frost that bites the air A crown of stars A frozen glare Her footsteps hum on crystal glass Each step a whisper A shadow cast

[Chorus] Oh Ice Maiden Heart so cold Your touch is silver Your gaze is bold Oh Ice Maiden Can’t you see You’ve frozen the world You’ve frozen me

[Verse 2] The rivers pause beneath her gaze The sky turns pale A ghostly haze Her laugh is sharp It cuts the wind A riddle wrapped A soul unpinned

[Prechorus] But does she dream Does she cry Does she melt beneath the sky

[Chorus] Oh Ice Maiden Heart so cold Your touch is silver Your gaze is bold Oh Ice Maiden Can’t you see You’ve frozen the world You’ve frozen me

[Bridge] She builds her walls of icy stone A castle carved She stands alone But deep inside A fire sleeps A secret warmth A flame she keeps

[Chorus] Oh Ice Maiden Heart so cold Your touch is silver Your gaze is bold Oh Ice Maiden Can’t you see You’ve frozen the world You’ve frozen me
