An odd semi electronic version of Bob Dylan's All Along The Watchtower that includes both punk guitars, a Swedish pronunciation (accent) and a "Bee-Gee's" choir.
+ a secret guest.

ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER (Bob Dylan cover)

Bottle - Music & Lyrics by Grenzlicht | Music & Additional Lyrics by REKHA - IYERN [Fe] | Dark Underground Electro-Punk Rock

Hope you all enjoy this super sonic track with all of it's real-deal underground retro-electro glam-glory emissions! 

Roland of Grenzlicht creates the most amazing razor sharp modular synth music here remaining true to the electro-punk era, that pure analogue sound that I simply could not resist! 

My whole life I've wanted to record music like this ever since I discovered it in my youth...I live for this kind of sound and I thank the universe for Roland, that he came along from nowhere and then ever so nicely invited me to sing on his spectacular Bottle track, making my dream to come true! I'm deeply fascinated by this sonic creation and feel so proud to be participating!  

I just wanted to add that I went for the chronically-addicted-dark-drinker type with my (nonsensical drunken chitter-chatter) vocal performance, how this untamed woman will do anything for the drink and the company that goes with...I think that kind of personality type really comes across in this piece...keeping my fingers crossed that you agree :)

Thank you Dear Roland from the bottom of my heart for this awesome sonic gem & your stellar lyrics!

I rerecorded the vocals, and remixed and mastered the track..

A change in the weather might bring me around again
You know I never liked the cold
A chance to turn this back around my friend
A chance to save my immortal soul
  
Nothing else that came so easy ever felt the same
But nothing hard to hold will ever stay
I watch the clouds form through the window pane
It fills the empty hours of the day

So I know one thing for sure…
It’s gonna rain today

The stars fall from the sky and wash up on the shore
Glowing softly blue before they fade
It’s every star i’ve ever wished upon
Now lying silent in their grave

No one that came before you made me feel that way
But I know what’s hard to hold will never stay
I watched the  stars fall from my window pane
And now I'm pleading for the light. of. day.

I know one thing for sure…
It’s gonna rain today
Somebody help me,
It’s going to rain today

Sometimes it seems this flood will never end
Sometimes it seems that all there is is drought
Sometimes the stars are shining in my hands
But they’re mostly full of doubt..

one thing’s for certain I can say…
It’s going to rain today
Somebody help me,
It’s going to rain today
Oh, won’t you save me,
Before the stars all fade away

It's Going To Rain Today

A requiem for my sister Lisa, and 4th movement of a work I have planned to complete as I have time and inspiration for each part of my outline.

The title comes from my daughter, who heard me as I was playing with the initial melodic idea, and said it sounds like a mourning bird.

This piece is best heard through headphones or quality stereo speakers to hear all the details.

Special thanks to the following, in no particular order, for their feedback, support and kindness which helped me to make this piece what it is.

Lyrics:
You go your way the best you can
No one was there to guide you
You did not get protection and
You tried to get your way through
Little phoenix, little phoenix, little phoenix, do it again.

You had to look for shelter
You had to teach yourself
You stumbled and you fell
You always were rising as well
Little phoenix, little phoenix, little phoenix, do it again.

Your willpower is unbreakable
You try and try again
Your courage is unshakable
although you know the pain
Little phoenix, little phoenix, little phoenix, do it again.

Little Phoenix

Thank you both for your incredible gifts to me!  This makes me laugh out loud.


"Summertime" is an aria composed in 1934 by George Gershwin for the 1935 opera Porgy and Bess. The lyrics are by DuBose Heyward, the author of the novel Porgy on which the opera was based, and Ira Gershwin.
The song is sung several times throughout Porgy and Bess, and in act 3 by Bess, singing to Clara's now-orphaned baby after both parents died in the storm.

Better World - (Rework 2024)

Further From The Grave

This is our second single off our mini album The Serenity Of Fractured Beauty available on all streaming services. 
As I’ve got older and especially after losing a close friend so quickly from a diagnosis it makes me think how close are we actually to the grave.
Life as many twists and turns and nothing can be predicted. The only thing that is certain is that we will past at anytime or any date eventually. 
We try to change by eating better and getting more exercise but change is brutal. We slip back into our old ways because really that’s what makes us comfortable and content. 
As you get older you realise that you are not invincible like you felt when you were young but more vulnerable as the years tick by. As we  get more older we get more nostalgic and look back on our lives maybe with rose tinted glasses. 

Further From The Grave 

V1
My worldview of a moment of pure magnitude 
I’m blowing  around the world like tumble weed 
I know we  wanna change without the self help book 
But change is brutal and we need a party out look 

Chorus 
So Don’t be scared you are here with me 
And I’ll protect you from the evils of the world you see
Don’t be scare you are here with me 
And I hope I’m a lot further from the grave at this tender & treacherous age


V2 
Everything spins on the value of a penny 
When it’s in your hands it buys you nothing of many 
When out of places to run then we will just have stop to choose one 
And head for the shade of the midday burning sun 


Chorus 
So Don’t be scared you are here with me 
And I’ll protect you from the evils of the world you see
And I hope I’m a lot further from the grave at this tender & treacherous age

Outro
I hope I’m a lot further x4
From the grave 
At this tender and treacherous age

Feeling kind of in the zone on this one, one of my favorite solo pieces in a little while.

** A QUESTÃO DO FUTURO **

Por muito negro que seja o livro do passado,
o futuro é sempre uma página em branco...

Se queres saber o que é o futuro,
dou-te uma resposta inocente:
É como um filho prematuro
da gravidez que é o presente.

Porque o presente sempre está
com a barriga dilatada,
sempre a parir um venho já,
um porvir que ainda agora é nada.

Convém agora meditar:
Esse porvir, esse talvez,
é tempo para nos libertar
da nossa humana insensatez.

Dá-me tua mão. Vamos dançar,
que esse porvir, esse talvez,
talvez nos traga um madrugar
que leve as dores da gravidez.

Penso que o mais que podemos
fazer nesta curta vida
é tocar com a mão que temos
outra que esteja estendida.

E, desse contacto breve,
tentar extrair a verdade,
um feixe de luz que leve
ao fundo da eternidade.

Here is an English translation:

** The Question of the Future **

No matter how dark the book of the past is,
the future is always a blank page...

If you want to know what the future is,
I'll give you an innocent answer:
It's like a premature baby
of the pregnancy that is the present.

Because the present is always
with a dilated belly,
always giving birth to an I'm coming,
an upcoming that is yet still nothing.

It is now worth meditating:
This future, this perhaps,
is a given time so we can get free
of our human foolishness.

Give me your hand. Let's Dance,
because this future, this maybe,
may perhaps bring us a dawn
that will take away the pains of pregnancy.

I think the most we can
do in this short life
is to touch with our hand
another that is begging.

And, from that brief contact,
try to extract the truth,
a beam of light that will takes us
to the end of eternity.

A Questão Do Futuro

After many years listened to music by e.g. The Police, Joy Division, U2, New Order, Sex Pistols, Elvis Costello & The Attractions, Thin Lizzy, Verve, Kent, Killers, Thåström, Garbage, David Bowie and Depeche Mode etc I'm out of the wardrobe :)
I love so many music styles - too many? It's hard to categorizing me. I'm like a chameleon, likes Rock, Pop, Alternative, Punk, Post Punk, Electronica, New Wave and Indie. How could I become like this?
