Mixed for Lillithe

To all the strangers out there pretending to be human every day. I find myself falling short all too often.


I'm not what you see
Merely a version of what may be
If you read between the lines

We just pretend
Wear our masks
We will defend
With all our power
Anyone who tries
To see what we really are

Best be on your guard
Divining the truth can be really hard
Hard to read the signs
Wearing my disguise
I can be what I want through another's eyes
You never see what's mine

We just pretend
Wear our masks
We will defend
With all our power
Anyone who tries
To see what we really are

I'm a stranger
I'm a friend
You don't see that I just pretend
I never cross that line

We Pretend

The song is a collaboration between Gary Kemske, guitarist Rick Land, and singer-songwriter Gregg Kemske.  Rick and Gregg completed the composition and recorded it in a living room using a BR800 digital recorder.

Lost In Your Dream

The Highlife

As  Christmas approaches, this feels like the right time to share this reworking of a traditional Sami Joik song (a form of chanted folk song from Lapland).
The vocalist is Inga Susanne Heatta, and the original unaccompanied chant was recorded in the early 1950's by Wolfgang Laade and Dieter Christensen . On hearing it for the first time I was struck by the beauty of the piece, which is described as "A welcome to the Lappish communities". I felt compelled to have a go at adding some accompaniment and hopefully it serves to enhance the soulful beauty of the original.
Like many indigenous populations, the Sami people have suffered hostility and discrimination from the wider communities of the countries where they live and we can only hope that appreciation and understanding will win out over prejudice in the long run.

A Sami welcome

Taken from the forth-coming album Tales of Generation X the final frontier is a science fiction inspired space rock odyssey inspired by my 
love of the cosmos and my fascination with ufos and unexplained events ,this song went though many different forms and mixes eventually i got my friend the producer Russ sinfield to mix and master the track and also add a proper percussion section ,we also rebuilt the middle 8 which i call the star section and what you here is what we decided to release

Talk To Me (Brian Peters)

Talk to me about trouble
Talk to me about strife
Talk to me about men living 
a double life
Talk to me about hunger
Talk to me about pain
Talk to me about men dying 
and their deaths being in vain
Draw near
Put your lips to my ear 
and talk to me

Talk to me about heartache
Talk to me about loss
Talk to me about men carrying 
too heavy a cross
Talk to me about mercy
Talk to me about truth
Talk to me about forgiveness 
in the kissing booth
Fold me
In your gentle sea 
and talk to me

Talk to me in the whirlwind
Talk to me in the heat
Talk to me in the thunder 
of the city’s feet
Talk to me in the stillness
far away from the noise
Talk to me sweetly 
in that still, small voice
Steal away 
from the cares of the day 
and talk to me
--------------------
[Some unused verses]

Talk to me of the garden
Talk to me of the fall
Talk to me of that valley 
and the prophets of Baal
Talk to me about religion 
and the loss of God
Talk to me about the kingdom 
and that level sword
Stay on 
for the night is long 
and talk to me

Talk to me about beauty
Talk to me about life
Talk to me about the colours
in the rainbow of light
Talk to me about magic 
in a lover’s eyes
Talk to me about music 
in the heart of the night
Lay down 
on this covered ground 
and talk to me

Talk to me in the riddle 
of the spoken word
Talk to me in the alphabet 
from another world
Talk to me about longing 
for the one that we seek
Talk to me of that name 
that no man shall speak
Thrill me 
with mystery 
and talk to me

Talk To Me

Lyrics :-
Over the hillsides
And down to the lake
All across the valleys
The winter comes awake

Can you catch Jack Frost
As he hops upon the chimney pots
Can you catch Jack Frost
As he dances on the roof tops
Jack Frost

Reaching the city
The river he skates
Down to the arches
The icicles he makes

Can you catch Jack Frost
As he hops upon the chimney pots
Can you catch Jack Frost
As he dances on the roof tops
Jack Frost

All through the nightime
So busy is he
Even quicker by darkness
Were you awake to see

Can you catch Jack Frost
As he hops upon the chimney pots
Can you catch Jack Frost
As he dances on the roof tops
Jack Frost

Lyrics:
So far away
I am sitting here
And you are sitting there 
So far away
I ´m here on my own 
And youre there on your own
So far away
You´re my shiny star
I love you from far
So far away
One day you´ll be here
Take me in your arms
now you´re far away.

Special thanks to John-Marc Ventimiglia @john-marc-ventimiglia for creating the “gliss” program that is used to create the outline of the hourglass shape and short glisses in this piece.
For harp, strings, flute, virtual instruments and percussion.
The James Webb Space Telescope  spotted a blazing cosmic hourglass filled with vibrant colors and hiding a fledgling star, or protostar, at its heart. The blazing formation within the Taurus star-forming region and the protostar within it has been hidden to telescopes by a dense, dark cloud of gas and dust.

The protostar the image centers around is hidden from view in the neck of a dark, hourglass-shape cloud of gas and dust. The dark line across the middle of the neck is a protoplanetary disc — dense gas and dust that could form a planet in the future — about the size of our solar system.

The Cosmic Hourglass

In astrology, Lilith is known as the dark moon or the unseen planet. Associated with intuition, psychic abilities and hidden knowledge, Lilith is also believed to be a powerful feminine force; one that can also be seen as dangerous. In many ways, she represents the shadow side of our nature.

The tribal leaders are ever at war to protect their power base,they try to force us to take sides.

The earth is my country and it's people are my tribe.

Warmongers can do one.

A song about a lost friendship

Standing in the fire 
by Lilli A. 

You were like a shadow
that followed me in the sun.
But when I stood in darkness,
Somehow you always were gone.

It hurts to let it go
like you did long time ago
when you dragged my name through muck and mire.
 
I'm standing in the fire. 
I am burning (inside)
and you’ve inflamed 
my pain.

I'm standing in the fire 
that you lit.
I’ve had enough of it it!
I quit (and I’ll walk away).
 
We were never right for each other.
I’ve learned the hard way, of course.
I blame myself for expecting too much.
My mind is trying to understand yours.

It's good to let it go.
Should've done so long time ago
when you dragged my name through muck and mire.

I'm standing in the fire. 
I am burning (inside)
and you’ve inflamed 
my pain.

I'm standing in the fire 
that you lit.
I’ve had enough of it it!
I quit.

I know they say never say never,
I just don’t see us together.
I don’t wanna see your face again
cause you are no longer my friend.
nana na naa na naa na na na
nana na naa na naa na na na.
I don’t wanna see your face again
cause you are no longer my friend.

I'm standing in the fire 
I'm standing in the fire 
I'm standing in the fire 
that you’ve inflamed.

I'm standing in the fire 
I'm standing in the fire 
I'm standing in the fire.
