Talking Heads (MOON DUST & learningtoplay)

Very thankful to learningtoplay to have worked with me on this song. You can hear his music here : 
https://soundcloud.com/learningtoplay from Australia.

Clip here https://youtu.be/zO7r8Qa7mRs
the picture is a still from The devil's hand (1962) that was remixed in the clip

As they lowered his casket
I caught your look
There was nothing I'd read about that
In the book 30 

When you came towards me
It was like a dream
In my mind I saw a gun flash
Then I heard a scream

I've got a few leads
But I think I'm gonna need . . to check this out

Now you've told your story
Not what you've got to hide
All I really need to know is
Baby are you on my side?

In your fancy car you
Could take me for a ride
Are we heading for heaven or hell?
I think I'd better decide

I've got a few leads
I've got a heart that bleeds
I think I'm gonna really need . . 
to check you out

I'm following hunches
Is there something I've missed?
Well, that body count keeps jumping
Since the night we kissed

The streets are dark
With something more than night
And it's time for me to figure out
If this is wrong or right

I'm looking for signs
In your lovely lines
I'm gonna have to take my time and check this out
Without a doubt

I need to check, check, check, check
to get, get, get, get, get, get hold of your love
your love

These are dangerous people
With their secrets and lies
But I'll risk it all, baby
For the look in your eyes . . for the look in your eyes.

The morning star, Venus, is glittering and the airplane makes a smooth takeoff. The sky gradually turns gray and the dawn breaks. Have a nice flight with lingering Venus!
 Thank you.

 This song is derived from my song "Photosynthesize". These two songs share some of the phrases.

Morning Flight With Venus

I Confess

▶"Vengeance Responsable"
by Tiogris: Lyrics & Vocals
Prod by TV Scream 2018 

Tu représentes la complaisance
au lieu de l'abstinence
l existence matérielle
promesse spirituelle irréaliste
sagesse sans détour
l hypocrisie complaisante
l'amour gaspillé pour les ingrats
vengeance responsable 

L homme comme un autre animal
meilleur ou pire
péché mental
gratification physique
esclavage des désirs
Vengeance responsable

Le Voile De L Oubli

Vengeance Responsable

Tiogris & TV Scream ▶ Vengeance Responsable

Thanks to and inspiration from John Lennon's 1968 BBC interview at the National Theatre and the incredibly nostalgic poem 'I Remember, I Remember' by Thomas Hood.

If You Got Soul

If you got soul
You gotta roll

When I was a boy
It would be easy for me to try
To believe all the words that were written in the books
By the seers and the gods on high
Sky high
There's a lie in the lie
That they want you to buy
It's a lie that you can't ask why
But now I am older
Got that weight off my shoulder
Lift my finger up and point to sky

No soul destroyer's gonna
rock and roll her baby
No state infraction's gonna
Suppress the action now
Insanity attack
Distortion of the fact
Maniacal quack
Dehumanising
An automatic fact
The stick is in the back
Establishments react
Do they see their own writing
On the wall?
Do they see their own writhing
At all?

If you got soul
You gotta roll
And we the people
We gotta get to go

When I was that boy
It would be easier for me to fly
But now I am older
Got that weight off my shoulder
Lift my finger up and point to sky
Sky high
It was a child's sweet ignorance
But oh so little joy
To know I'm further off from heaven
Than when I was a boy

If you got soul
You gotta roll
And we the people
We gotta get to go

Very happy to have had the chance to collaborate with The Ghostfather, on his incredible instrumental tour de force - 'exhaustfumes'. It got into my head and wouldn't get out. Save our planet.

Soliloquy for Gina

Do we use our talent to promote #HUMANITY, #EQUALITY, #LOVE, #JUSTICE, #FREEDOM, QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL, or do we simply promote ourselves at the expense of others?

EVEN IF I FAIL TO MAKE A MARK WITH MY OWN MUSIC, I WANT YOU GUYS TO SUCCEED!

A mercenary music industry wants the public to believe your music is substandard, but that is far from true....#UNSIGNED, #INDEPENDENT & #UNDERGROUND puts #SIGNED music in the shade!

What is Eternity What lies ahead? 
 This Is my very first multi track.

Alll other pieces prior to this were single -take performances.  no vsts or stems just me and  keyboard.

What Lies Ahead

This lyric came to me recently, pretty much direct. I was amazed to later discover how well it matched Sander's beautiful track, Sleepless. I was very happy when he kindly agreed for us to release it as a collaboration.
Original composition: https://soundcloud.com/wane-of-summer/sleepless-1
Sander's excellent music: https://soundcloud.com/wane-of-summer/tracks

it comes in waves, like the light
the dawn that sweeps us into night
the tears that well up from my heart
roll down my face, I fall apart
it comes in waves, it comes in waves
the love that heals, the love that saves
it comes in waves, it comes in waves
it comes in waves, it comes in waves

you were here, now you're gone
the life that keeps us sweeps us on
the love we need, the love that leaves
it comes in waves, in waves, in waves
it comes in waves, in waves

clear as water, free as breath
life will carry us to death
the love that lifts us to the skies
leaves us falling, no surprise

it comes in waves, it comes in waves
it comes in waves, it comes in waves
in waves, in waves, in waves

it comes in waves - Wane of Summer (+ ltp)

New single from the upcoming ep "I'm Me".

Dernier Voyage

Do we use our talent to promote #HUMANITY, #EQUALITY, #LOVE, #JUSTICE, #FREEDOM, QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL, or do we simply promote ourselves at the expense of others?

SANCTUARY CHURCH (WACO OF TOMORROW)

Every time I hear of stuff like this, I ask myself the same question....
WHAT THE F_CK IS WRONG WITH AMERICA....but it does go along way towards explaining how someone like Donald J Trump found his way into the #WhiteHouse!

SANCTUARY CHURCH (WACO OF TOMORROW)

HMMF'Co Records Presents.... The Some Days EP from Lean Cuisine The Rapper.

I hope you all enjoy.... this music was created to help the world and inspire others... the wait is over.

Some Days

Do we use our talent to promote #HUMANITY, #EQUALITY, #LOVE, #JUSTICE, #FREEDOM, QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL, or do we simply promote ourselves at the expense of others?

Just you and me (Three Photons, December 2018)

Thanks so much to Rene (Para Lia) and Andrew Borderick for listening to an early versions of this tune....

Hope you like some part of it - Cheers, TJG.

If I could see you
just one more time
I'd be good to you
all the time

It was just you and me
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were running through the night
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were running through the night

I think I saw you 
at Lions Bay
sipping coffee
at my favorite cafe

It was just you and me
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were running through the night
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were running through the night

If I could see you
just one more time
I'd be good to you
all of my life

But I can't find you
and I'm out of time
I'm out of time...

it was just you and me
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were stealing against time
it was just you and me
we racing against the time
it was just you and me
we were drifting through the night

we were drifting through the night
we were drifting through the night

December 16, 2018

Just you and me

For the ones you love...

No Time For Watching Clocks

Please don't run so fast
Life is long
Don't fall on the broken glass
Our love is a promise
A lifelong souvenir
Once given not forgotten
None shall disappear

You don't need nobody 
To say who you are
You are what you are
You're a shining star

Some people love
And some people judge
And some they are full of it
Others want to hide 
Too scared to decide
Paralyzed they make a fool of it

I'll take my chances on the way
You'll find if you go astray
There is nothing in this world 
You need fear from anyone
Life is long
Life is you

Boomtown
Meltdown
Build you up to let you down 
I can break 
No mistake
Want to be a salad plate?

Get on up 
Buttercup 
Guess you better suck it up
Tough luck
Be the rock
Aint no time for watching clocks

Some people love
And some people judge
And some they are full of it
Others want to hide 
Too scared to decide
Paralyzed they live their life in fear

There is something in this world 
To be for everyone
Life is long 
Life is you

Para Lia - 'Who Gets Fooled Again'

words and music by René Methner, Copyright 2018
mix and production: René Methner
mastering: Thomas Heimann-Trosien, TurnstyleMastering, Berlin

the crowd is asking questions
time to feed the brains of fools
we're on the speedway of the global news
we have a serious network
we run the big machines
we keep you quiet with bread and games
it will quench the flame
isn't the weather nice today?

who gets fooled again

in the age of populism
sweeping around the globe
we are dealing with an overdose
of phrases, bubbles, airholes
advertisement and empty shells
we guarantee your comfort zone
trust us you are not alone
so better stay at home

who gets fooled again

Music, Arrangement and Production: Lillithe

Verses:
locked on like a missile inbound 
production on target hitting dead-on 
deep into territories others withdrawn 
totally hype once I do that mic check 
stereo direct never forget 
feel the connect mic check mic check
I’m In effect got that vibe --and it’s in motion 
check the approach this is devotion
Chorus————-
Addicted cause it’s dope pushing the envelope 
LiveWire on fire don’t lose hope 
look out here I come follow the beat of the drums 
you found the underground baby this is where I get down 
This is where I get down
not subjects of the game no industry no frame 
do it for the love of music 
IPG1 is the name
Transmission from the top of the world 
no exception man woman boy or girl 
moving forward session after session 
Turnt up baby check your connection 
let’s go embrace the reception 
cutting through the air like a cesarean section 
I never give up see pass the deception 
no misconceptions shits on lock
Slamming bars like a house of corrections
————-
it took another hit bro 
yeah I’m still dope 
hold onto your headphones 
this one ain’t no joke 
Now check the spells that I invoke 
I just rock 'em to the rhythm until it hurts 
Ain’t no stopping till they’ve learned the ropes 
...and the track gets lit like fireworks
Standing on a cloud of style—it smokes
check the approach step by step
Select the concept direct the project 
context——perfect I’m in effect 
left unchecked —
A necessary threat—
Spitting dope lyrics till I’m totally out of breath—-yeah!
Giving them more than they’d ever expect 
The approach-indirect 
the secret well-kept
better believe I'm coming correct 
step-by-step 
we learn to except 
connect and correct 
Life’s concept 
Select and protect 
each skill I perfect 
And to the fam that’s listening 
MUCH RESPECT!!!

From the moment I heard the first notes of Dean Massicotte's stunning guitar composition 'Into the sun', I was blown away. I was so pleased that Dean graciously allowed me to add some vocals. For me, his music inspires a sense of optimism and positivity. Have a listen to his amazing work -
