Super cool to hear about the inspiration for the lyrics, love James Joyce -- he's got such a weird and interesting way of using language !

Yes...Awesome production! Great work all of you!

Superb collaboration and thank you for the backstory. Love everything about this and I even recognised the lyrics as Joyce

super exciting! like the lyrics and voice, and guitars and and...

very special and nice song! So it is a a cooperation of several musicans on this platform?

Hippy space rock and that's a compliment.... really like the drone with fine details.

Cast of Characters:
xian3-- @xian3 – vocals, lyrics, and beat programming
Holger Engel—bass
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- guitar, mix, and production
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)-- @josh-clary-1 – lead guitar, organ, and synth
 
This song started when Xian and Holger came up with the rhythm section. Xian reached out to Josh about adding some guitar and keys. Josh happily accepted and added some electric guitar, organ, and synth. Once he was done, he sent it back to Xian, who added his excellent vocals. Tez also added some subtle, yet thrilling psychedelic guitar to it, too, before producing and mixing it for us. 
 During a little odyssey Xian recently undertook, he came across this snippet of text, from which the lyrics were drawn, in the Museum of Literature in Dublin. It's from "Ulysses" (1923) by James Joyce (1882-1941) and he liked it immediately. The passage can be found in the episode "Cyclops", in which the novel's hero, Bloom, opposes division and prejudice.
 This is the first time Xian has collaborated with Josh and Tez, but we hope it won't be the last. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.
Lyrics:
Alf And Bloom
(But it’s no use) …
(- What? says Alf) …     
But it’s no use says he
Force, hatred, history
All that
That’s not life 
For men and women,
(- What? says Alf) …
Insult and hatred
And everybody knows that
It’s the very opposite of that
That is really life.
- What? says Alf
- Love, says Bloom
(- What? says Alf)
(- Love, says Bloom)
(- Love)

08/23/24 HUGE amount of gratitude for all the re-posts, likes, and comments.
This means the world to me.
Another cut off my album - this one due in distribution Sept 12 but here it is early. It is very nerve racking for me whenever I post, if you want to know the truth, but no point in holding on to these tracks any longer.  They are what they are and I did the best I could.
A bit about this song...
I toyed with the main melody/chord progression for a while and then an argument with a loved one really solidified for me what the song would be about, which fueled the lyrics.  Writing this song helped me to put things into perspective.

Lyrics:
Here I am again,  heart in hand my friend
And don’t how it got this bad
And I don’t know when,  I’ll ever,  understand
Maybe never maybe now I’ll see myself,  and all that I’ve become

Is it me out there,  seeming not to care
I’ll go on with my life
But the fairy tale,  it lets me down, every time
Right before my eyes,  he keeps me warm, a kiss upon my cheek
He gives me love,  he gives me honesty,  yeah

I flow with you,  and you flow with me
We make our wars,  but we make our peace
Let me flow with you,  and you’ll flow with me
We know there’s love,  even when it’s hard to feel
But it’s so hard to feel,  so hard to feel

He gives me love and a kiss upon my cheek

And I flow with you,  and you flow with me
We make our wars,  but we'll make our peace
Yeah I flow with you  and you can flow with me
We know there’s love,  even when it’s hard to feel
We still believe, oh yeah

He gives me love,  he gives me honesty
He gives me love,  he gives me everything, yes he does
He keeps me warm

Debut

Flow

My second recent collaboration with @enigmacurry, this will be one of a pair of tracks that evolved in different directions after I came up with the initial idea. 

Check out the other mixes here, including the original stripped down version which I'm posting as an open collab. It is a simple quirky little beat that I really liked the sound of.

If you'd like to adapt the stems for yourself, you can download them all here. Just let me know if you make something with them and I'll add them to the running playlist. Cheers!

Windswept - Enigma Curry Mix

Hope is in the air — a wind that is fierce enough to lift kites and rattle wind chimes, but gentle enough to free specks caught in a spider’s web. To become windswept is to go with the flow, keeping faith in a good future, and to do what you know to do to make hope come alive.

A neoclassical treatment with a little hip hop beat.
