Attica

A collection of alternative music style tracks from various Soundcloud users with some 'green' vibes to them, if you get my drift.

How Life

August 2022 Discoveries.

Many people simply want to hear and enjoy some great new music without having to waste time searching for hours. These Musical Discoveries collections aim to fulfil those needs. At least, we hope so! :)

This playlist is a compilation of the favourite musical discoveries of the Wud Records team from everything they heard at SoundCloud during August 2022.

Tracks have been arranged according to the number of plays at the precise moment of publishing, starting with the fewest. Tracks that are early in playlists tend to receive more plays than later tracks, and we feel that the ones with fewer plays need the best chance of exposure.

This playlist is extremely eclectic, so if the track you are playing isn't quite doing it for you, try the next one. It will probably be completely different.

If you enjoyed listening to something here, please give it a like and a repost. Follow the artist. Give them a shoutout on social media. Check out some of their other tracks. Buy something from them and your support will help them to keep going. Doing any of this will help raise their profile. At the very least you might make their day. :)

Sharing is very, very important !!

Sharing is a massive help for independent artists. They don’t have big corporations and mainstream media saturating every channel with their product. Every independent share counts.

Giving something a ‘like’ is nice, but sharing exposes the artist to your followers. This means that anybody in your community can see and click on what you shared. They can potentially enjoy it as well. It enables somebody new to discover the artist and become their newest fan. You create the chance for that to happen.

If you happen to be on this playlist, please share, and give us a shoutout on your social media feeds - because if we spot it, it gives us another opportunity to repost you and big you up. Please listen to as many tracks by the other great bands as you can, and... enjoy!

This is a jazz based collection of music that is, of course, not the usual Dynamo Snackbar style. I don't know why I felt the need to make this collection, I only know it had to be done and that I had a LOT of fun doing it.

Сквозь леса сквозь поля
Мы идем в сокола
Где же ты где же я?
А в ответ тишина   

Где же ты где же я?
А в ответ тишина    

Сквозь леса сквозь поля
Мы идем в сокола
Где же ты где же я?
А в ответ тишина    

Где же ты где же я?
А в ответ тишина

Ruin

Brood

I'm broken...I'm broken.
I wasn't there for you. 
I didn't care for you.
At least that's what you said.
And now, I pick the wound, I find it hard to hide my contempt for you.
I'm broken...I'm broken.
I contain my disdain.
I revel in your pain.
The memory remains...the longing that I feel.
My contempt for you...
Did I twist your psyche?
Did I break your heart?
I revel in your pain, and now I'm broken.

Second Sight

Broken

Sometimes you feel like your in a dense fog.
Not recognizing time or day.
Hours seem to pass within a wink of an eye.
Depression?
Age?
We all go through changes as one grows older.
My true hope is that I do this with dignity and grace.

My thanks to Yamaha for the drums,
And to my Buddy, Mike Gabriel for mastering this track I am lucky to call you my Friend.

Brain Fog

Back Thigh Cut

(Written by Terry Reeves, 2018)
Terry Reeves:  Lead Vocal
Gary Reeves:  Occasional Chorus Vocals
Hans Albers:  All instruments, Arrangement & Production

Cover art picture is of Mum & Brian, taken in 1949.

My Mum requested that, at her funeral(today, 16 January 2022, being the third anniversary), our sisterJayne and her children made arrangements to cover her coffin in pink roses as a sign to everybody that we should celebrate her life and not mourn her death.  They found a casket with a pink rose design too, which would have pleased her even more.  She wanted to be remembered for the good times she had with her family and many close friends.  Mum enjoyed parties and celebrations a great deal.

In writing the song, I wanted to represent all the important parts of Mum's life to help us to remember what an incredibly generous person she was,  always there to help those who needed some extra love and attention.  We grew up in a house that was somewhere our friends and neighbours could always turn to if they needed help. Throughout our lives it wasn't at all unusual to wake up in the morning to find someone who needed refuge asleep on the sofa.  Neighbours' children would join us for meals on a regular basis and Mum made sure there was always plenty to go round..

At the funeral itself, as the chorus explains, I felt so uncomfortably exposed, standing at the front with all eyes seemingly looking at me, gauging every reaction. I think Jayne and Gal felt much the same if truth be told.  Even with my wife and children there to support me, it was one of those moments in life I don't think any of us ever really wants to face. 

We will certainly never forget our wonderful Mum and all the things she did for us.  She always made special times just a bit more special, going that extra mile so that the memories would last a lifetime.

I felt it was particularly important to write this song for my sister, who was the main carer for my Mum in the latter years of her life and dealt with all the difficulties with so much love, care and strength.  This song is for you Jayne, with all our love. 

As always, we give our heartfelt thanks to Hans for producing an arrangement so in keeping with the spirit of the song and the occasion it marks.
Thank you everyone for all your support.  (Terry Reeves)

One thousand pink Roses to light the flame
One thousand reasons making you live again
One thousand regrets as we all stand still 
One thought of sadness makes this moment so real.

I don’t wanna be here for all to see   X2

Five hundred stories to make you live again
Five hundred dresses in a beautiful frame
Five hundred presents for your many friends
One single moment, our love will never end

I don’t wanna be here for all to see. X2

One hundred whispers hiding words of truth
One hundred wishes turning magic loose 
One hundred kisses for children who sing
Only one person could make hearts ring

I don't wanna be here for all to see.     X4

Only one mother helps grow with a laugh
Only one mother puts smiles in every photograph
Only one mother gives when others take
Our family love you never stopped trying to make 

I will always be here for you and me
I will always be here for you and me...
I will always be
Here for you

ONE THOUSAND PINK ROSES (FOR MUM) - CRIPPLE CLUB & HANS ALBERS

“It is not the the bruises on the body that hurt. It is the wounds of the heart and the scars on the mind.”
― Aisha Mirza (Author)

“When it comes to abuse, you believe there’s no way out. There is always help. There is always a way out.”
― Rev. Donna Mulvey

A sister song to "I had a fight", told from the point of view of the partner of the alcoholic in that song.
Many thanks to Patricia Fortuny for that idea - I love you! I hope I've done justice to the subject matter and to all women who have found themselves in an abusive relationship.

lyrics
He hasn’t hit me yet
But I’m ready for the blow
Though if he does, I’ve nowhere to run, nowhere to go
He hasn’t hit me yet

I knew he was a wild one
Right from the very start
A boozer and a ladies' man
Yet, somehow I lost my heart
I thought he’d settle down
And learn to drink a little less
But I was just trying to fool myself
I see that now, I must confess

At least he hasn’t hit me yet …

There are no hidden bruises on my skin
But then some blows don’t have to physically connect
You see … my bruises lie within

The owner’s outside, he’s waiting for the rent
How can I tell him it’s already been spent?
And when himself comes home, staggering from the booze
I complain about the money; he tells me it’s his to lose
Oh oh oh oh
But he hasn’t hit me yet

He hasn’t hit me yet
And perhaps he never will
But in his drunken rage he seeks to blame
It’s the fear that haunts me still
So much unexpressed!
I’m sick from all the lying and the hiding
People wond’ring if I have been crying
And at night I … cannot rest

There are no hidden bruises on my skin
But then some blows don’t have to physically connect
No, no, no, no! No hidden bruises on my skin
It’s true some blows don’t have to physically connect
You see … my bruises lie within

… my bruises lie within
… the bruises lie within
… they lie within

Gotta get away, gotta get away x3
Gotta get away … there must be a way

Bruises Lie Within

Bruises Lie Within 5 Stars/Commended rating in the UK Songwriting Contest, 2021

Many people have a battle with mental health. This song is about that struggle. To keep ourselves together.

Lyrics:

For miles and miles and miles
We saw our lives in piles
History as our mirror
Face ourselves in fear

The sand for miles and miles
Surrounds our cries 
Ohhh!
Fallen ones
They tried hard
Now they lie down
Hardened souls
Who fought hard
Didn’t turn them against the cause

Waves of thoughts come
Into our head
Attacking our resolve
This fight to dissolve apathy
All our willpower
Needed for the march ahead 
To face the enemy within

One and two and three and four
March across the broken glass
Five and six and seven, eight
Heading for the lemming fate
(There’s got to be another voice, 
a voice that brings another choice. 
Hold on, watch your step, 
Marching to a different world of hope. Hope. Hope. Hope.)

Ohhhh!

Imagine we had all won,
Imagine we were all one.
One.

The Enemy Within

Box Of Fucks

frost

The creature was dropped into what can only be described as an oversized glass jar. As it awoke, it dragged itself to the sides, feeling the cold glass against its unconventional skin. Images mixed with yellow light from the laboratory were blurred and distorted through the curved edges. The creature raised a shaking claw and gently tapped it against the glass...
