Euphoriqa feat Colin Powell & Claes Steen - Rainbow Symphony

Welcome to a new song from Euphoriqa featuring Colin Powell & Claes Steen called Rainbow Symphony.

When Claes send his new song (https://soundcloud.com/cermat/rainbow-symphony?si=190d4de5209b45fb8dc0ef5f7f579b6a&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing))   to John, immediately John played with piano a melody to it, and reconstructed the song and made it longer. then send it too Colin, he added drums, bass and guitars to it, and wrote lyrics and recorded samples so for John to consider, he made a new mix, and he send it to Hemmo, so he could re-record all vocals and harmonies.
When Hemmo send his vocal tracks to John, it appeared that the song needed more lyrics, so Colin adjusted the lyrics to the way Hemmo was singing the song, so Hemmo could record it all over again, due to this process, John and Colin had to re-record their backing vocals as well.
When all vocal tracks were done, it appeared that the original drums, bass and guitars needed to be adjusted as well, so the song has now drums, bass and guitars played by Hemmo and Colin.
When everything was mixed, the orchestral instruments needed to be adjusted so it would sound in perfect harmony with all added instruments & vocals, then in the final stage John and Hemmo added some extra accent / additions to make it sound the way we all wanted it to be.

RAINBOW SYMPHONY – Lyrics by Colin Powell ©2017
Back in time, when you were young
And didn’t have a care
Look inside, I know you’ll find
The real you is there!
Open up your heart
And just be who you are
Don’t be afraid
You can reach up to the stars!
When the morning dawn is breaking
It’s the start of a brand new day
Put your troubles far behind you
It’s a brand new start today
It’s a brand new day!
Glowing with glorious colors inside
Open your eyes to it all…
Take a look around
And savour all you see
Listen to the sounds
It’s a Rainbow Symphony!
Follow you dream and keep love in your sights
Open you heart to it all
Living your life as it was meant to be
Everything will be OK
Do you realize
You’re greater than you know?
Just take a breath
And let your love light grow!
When the world you know is crumbling
When your life just grinds you down
There’s another world around you
There’s a secret deep inside
There’s a better world
Go deep into your mind
There’s another place
Where everything’s in a perfect state
The earth’s illusions fall away
You and I will move on
In a world that’s full of rainbows
Underneath the sun
Take a look around / and savour all you see / listen to the sound, it’s a Rainbow Symphony!

DO THE CARDS SEEM STACKED TO YOU OR
ARE YOUR LUCKY STARS THE ISSUE
HAVE THE FATES THREE SINGLED OUT
ONE HUMAN FROM THE RACE

YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR THE THROAT
PUSH OUT THE BOAT
AND GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE
YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR BAROQUE
LIFE IS A JOKE
SO GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE

ARE YOU SINKING TO YOUR KNEES OR
WILL YOU NAME THE DAY AND SIEZE
WILL YOU WATCH FRIENDS PASS YOU BY
OR DOMINATE THE RACE

YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR THE THROAT
PUSH OUT THE BOAT
AND GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE
YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR BAROQUE
LIFE IS A JOKE
SO GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE

ZIPADEEDOODA ZIPADEEDAY

IS THAT GLEAM IN BOTH YOUR EYES OR
DOES YOUR LEFT LID SERVE TO DISGUISE
THE FEARS THAT CAST THE FIRST STONE
AND SMASHED ONE WINDOW OF YOUR SOUL

YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR THE THROAT
PUSH OUT THE BOAT
AND GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE
YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR BAROQUE
LIFE IS A JOKE
SO GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE

DOES YOUR LOW-LIFE SEEM KIND OF BLUE OR
DOES IT SUIT THE LIKES OF YOU
IS IT EVERYTHING YOU WANT OR
WOULD YOU LIKE A CHANGE

YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR THE THROAT
PUSH OUT THE BOAT
AND GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE
YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR BAROQUE
LIFE IS A JOKE
SO GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE

ZIPADEEDOODA ZIPADEEDAY

HAVE YOUR DREAMS SEEN ASH AND DUST
BLOWN UP IN YOUR FACE
IS YOUR WORLD AN EMPTY SHELL
SPIRALLING IN SPACE

YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR THE THROAT
PUSH OUT THE BOAT
AND GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE
YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR BAROQUE
LIFE IS A JOKE
SO GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE

ZIPADEEDOODA ZIPADEEDAY

GO FOR BAROQUE

Cansado bajo el sol
Helada voz oyó:
“Vas a gritar y callarás
 a toda la ciudad”

Helado sol cayó
Cansada voz contó:
“un día más,
 ya me dirás
 se cura con la edad”

Voz: Maranta
Musica y letra: Derzu

Un día (Amanecer)

remove all inputs

Sipping coffee at dawn watching time slip away
Want to step out of the rat race, please God answer my pray

Coping with the mundane every single day
This self painted picture won't fade away
Searching for meaning beneath this charade
This life with myself isn’t an easy one, I’m afraid

Bills on the table memories untold
Life of existence emotions on hold

My mind's a mixtape running loops on repeat
Sometimes it’s familiar and sweet

Coping with the mundane every single day
This self painted picture won't fade away
Searching for meaning beneath this charade
This life with myself isn’t an easy one, I’m afraid

My clock hammers seconds that merge into years
Holding back reality, fighting back

Coping with the mundane every single day
This self painted picture won't fade away
Searching for meaning beneath this charade
This life with myself isn’t an easy one, I’m afraid

"Beduine"

method: most of the pre-takes done with a reface dx and oyayo toy drums, later stretches in audacity, voice in balabolka and rearrangement and editing in samplitude (also adding bubbling bass voice, clicks and further elements)
Narration: it is the evening of the day …. the serenity of the song by the Stones, coupled with recollectioms of events, i.e. exploring tensions, delayed dis- and resonances and so on and so forth

poem / copyright jo richter:

the morning creaked
on rusty hinges
not prone to please
on fraying fringes

midday soaked
with vain ambition
the argo, the fleece
a hero's contrition

the evening balked
away from the night
the numbers chalked 
didn't add up right

and in the dark
and in the dark
their widows cried
their widows cry

and in the dark

Some of our art is made on computers, some of it is made by hand. We are particularly interested in that gray area in between where you cant really tell. All of what we create here is one work laid out in segments, all connected. The Mystic Tape Deck universe is vast and explores all manner of adding meaning to our lives, while pondering meaninglessness.

Please consider supporting our project and helping us complete the work. We make books and cds that go with them. We also have a graphic novel and a custom oracle deck in the works. All part of the story.

Greetings to you: readers, beaders, seekers, wanderers, wonderers, outsiders, rebels, fantasy gamers, freaks, mythologists, philosophers, appreciators, creators, perpetuators of beauty, coveters of mysterious objects, collectors of counter culture, the curious, the questioners, the unusual, the unique, the star children, the light workers, shadow integrators, diviners, alchemists, hermits, monks and popes, the saviors and prophets, the builders and destroyers of worlds, the old ones, the young ones, the rollers of boulders, the sun orbiters, the morning star dewdrops and twinkle toed dreamers of dreams, you mystic shining beacons, you crossers and denizens of the void, reality shapers, universe makers and underworld freaks.

"A prominent feature of avant-garde music is to break through various rules and regulations of traditional culture, in order to transcend established creative principles and appreciation habits. Avant-garde music pursues novelty in musical form and style, insisting that art is above everything else; thus, it creates a transcendental and mysterious sound world. Hint, metaphor, symbol, association, imagery, synesthesia and perception are widely used in avant-garde music techniques to excavate the mystery of human heart and the flow of consciousness, so that many seemingly unrelated but essentially very important events interweave into multi-level structures and forms."
