Lyrics:

A renaissance is needed
in this present we’re living.
Now is the time (2)
Recognising one another
as a friend, as a true brother.
Now is the time (2)
We need empathy…

By sectarian politicians
humankind is being confronted.
Now is the time (2)
Troubles they want us to see,
people live them more easily.
Now is the time (2)
We need pragmatism …

We’re all part of minorities,
the red haired or left handed.
Now is the time (2)
No more talk about left or right,
no more minding if black or white.
Now is the time (2)
We need global thinking …

A renaissance is needed
in this present we’re living.
Now is the time (2)
Love flows freely in every heart.
Revolution inside each one.
Now is the time (2)
We need empathy…

It's The Time (with Janine Levinson)

VENUS

I feel like
the evening star
a faint light in the immense darkness
isolated desolated
in a world where more is less and
less is more
No home no comfort
unrelated and unbound
my Joy my Joy
undimmed but buried
like forgotten treasure 
of a bygone age….
I feel like
the Evening Star

VENUS

 Russians says "There' s no Ukraine, it shouldn't exist"...  I'm Ukrainian and I'm proud of it. My country do exists as well as my music. No one in the world has no right and power to make such statements about any nation. They drew their fascist sign "Z" with blood of Ukrainian children. If you support Russian aggression against Ukraine you've got that bloody sign on your forehead. The God is to judge you...

Lofty Castle
A lofty castle of my own
Like Crusoe pulls up the ladder to be alone
Steerforth, he is our guiding star
Inns of molten blue; that’s our repertoire
“Fill full your cups”

I hear the squawk of corkscrew sound
Long before it’s needed for the next maroon round
I’ve laughed at my own jokes all night
How town sharpens an appetite

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“Vast truths that mortals seldom” found

I heard someone fall down the stairs
False reports the tumbler was in fact truly yours
Perhaps there’s foundation after all
I’m on my back on the passage floor

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“But still we held as time flew by”

Who’s that smoking right by the fireplace? It was me!
Who’s that leaning out of the window? It was me!
Contemplate one self in the mirror? That was me too!

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“Drink to me only with your eyes”

Wow, this is the 5th song posted from the album I started using demo tracks given to me by Wou-Wou & the Wormling during the start of the pandemic! This song was inspired by the conservative agenda, which at the time was more noticeably gaining momentum, to systematically whittle away and block the rights of those groups that did’t align with their values. The conservative agenda continues to gain strength, and it is up to the people to support each other in maintaining and advancing rights (including those of groups one is not a part of).    

It has been a great pleasure working with Stricknice, Bitzone, and Wou-Wou on these tracks. We are blessed by all the support the SoundCloud community has given to our releases. We can’t wait to share more music with you all. 

I haven't done a more straight up hip hop song in ages!

Lyrics:

Hit the streets likes it’s a brand new day
Pound the pavement for the payment 
Of knowing I slay
Say hey to all my homies around my way
Say hey to all the folks just trying to get paid
What up party people dying to get laid
Let you freak flag fly high up and away
Pray to allah Pray to Jesus 
Get all Polytheistic if it pleases
Go to college and write a thesis 
Couch surf around the globe and sleep on beaches 
Who needs meat when we got peaches
Who needs warfarin when we got leeches
Use yo magic to cure diseases 
Go help somebody with yo expertises 
Take a stand against injusticeses 
And don’t give a damn if no one agrees with

You 
won’t see eye to eye with
You
Isn’t able to fully accept 
You
doesn’t want to believe in
You
Be real to your-self and stay true

Word
You know we still fighting 
To open minds to new perspectives
And hearts to other ways of being  And that’s for real
Yo

Who you got a problem with 
What you try to solve it with
Why you got that solid fist
When now’s the time to 
Listen go out and try something
Different see what chu mighta been 
Missin’ dismissin’ 
Omittin’ what wasn’t Fittin’
Your world view 
Let go of what you knew so
You can become a new you
Discover what’s now true 
To hold onto your values
And speak your truth and stay for real
While holdin’ space for others to feel
What they gonna feel and what they says their truth
But if it falls to pieces and their beliefs lead to more injusticeses 
Then don’t give a damn if no one agrees with

You 
won’t see eye to eye with
You
Isn’t able to fully accept 
You
doesn’t want to believe in
You
Be real to your-self and stay true

Yea

This one goes out to all those leading the fight 
In the struggle on the day to day

Second upload of a new album featuring compositions written over the last several months of 2021. If anyone can pinpoint what all of these compositions have in common, musically-speaking, put it in the comments - there was a concept tying everything together but I'm not going to reveal what it was, haha.

Cover art created using NeuralBlender.

This album is going to be called "Prohibited Topics," a tribute to the textbook authors and teachers whose work is being disrupted by right wing efforts to stifle education about racial disparity and structural racism in the US. These compositions weren't written with this subject matter in mind, full-disclosure, but the album has now been named in response to this issue and will be dedicated to educators, and to truth, which will win in the end despite efforts to silence it.

I'm Gonna Get You - with Entheogenic Psychonaut (Josh Clary)

Spring is back at last
This is a song inspired by the snow melting into little droplets and streaming into the pond where the birds are singing and swimming now that spring is back again. A song as if I was Keith Jarrett playing piano accompanied by a dream team made of Charles Mingus at the bass, Jack DeJohnette at the drums, Alex Acuña at the percussions, Jan Garbarek at the soprano sax and Miles Davis at the trumpet. 

Everybody has the right to dream isn’t it?

This is the second song of the future album "The Five Seasons".

Sacred Waterfall - Mélo | Time Laps Piano (Free Download)

When modern science extended the reach of its observation to the galaxies above and the microbes below, it made a surprising discovery: an atom proved strikingly similar to a solar system. Both were comprised of particles kept in orbit by the gravity of an energetic core. Modern technology had reiterated the wisdom of the ancients, who coined the very same discovery in the adage: As Above So Below.

The adage is traditionally attributed to the Emerald Tablets of Hermes Trismegistus. Nevertheless, all subsequent teachings that explained man and his role in the universe acknowledged this truth. Knowledge is universal. What one learns benefits all. Universal knowledge is also timeless, and what is learned in one age benefits all others.

As Above So Below is often expressed alongside its synonym, As Within So Without. Teachings that expressed these instructions claimed it was impossible to study the universe without studying man, and conversely that it was impossible to study man without studying the universe. They stressed that, to study either man or the universe, one had to study both. This is one reason why ancient texts almost always dwell on both mankind and the universe alike. They rarely exclude one or the other.

From inspirations of the raw beauty of nature, to a deep journey into the imagination, I hope you enjoy the sonic peaks and chasms of this psychedelic trance adventure. 

And as always, a deep gratitude for all of the immensely talented artists showcased here in my DJ mix.

Fog of War (with ProgRockDan1)

(Written by Terry Reeves)

I have been trying to play the guitar since the early 70s but even after all this time still don’t think I’m really good enough to actually call myself a guitarist.  I was lucky that there were always guitars laying around the family house and could therefore pick one up any time I wanted and strum away to myself.  Having two older brothers who were semi-pro musicians was also a big encouragement and I used to love going down to see them rehearsing with the band they were in at the time, developing a yearning to join them, whilst never believing it would actually happen.

When I moved into a place of my own, my brother Bri gifted me one of his guitars so that I could play any time I wanted.  I can’t actually remember when it occurred to me that I was actually starting to write my own songs but as I continued to play,  pleasing chord structures just seemed to emerge and I started to sing along.  Eventually, I wrote down some lyrics and gave each piece a title. It became a kind of therapy, channelling a lot of my personal and political frustrations into song but keeping it all to myself.  Fear of rejection ruled my thinking for some time.

That I managed to overcome that, tentatively recording a few songs onto cassette and sending them to Bri & Gal turned out to be one of the best things I ever did.  I’ll never forget them calling to say they thought the songs were great and that we must get together to rehearse and record them. 

So that’s how Root Division became an actual band.  We drafted in John Palmer, who had played bass in the band I used to see rehearse all those years before and soon after, there we all were in my living room, recording my songs onto Bri's four track reel-to-reel machine.  It all seems pretty stone-age now but it sounded bloody great to me.  

Those first sessions were recorded in a house on the edge of a school playing field (I was the groundsman) so we could make as much noise as we liked.  Later on, we gravitated to the attic of a house Bri was sharing, going on to record 13 songs and having a blast in the process.  The memories I have of those days still loom large in the memory.  Days full of wild ideas and even wilder laughs.  Days I will never forget.

In all the nostalgia of yesteryear, we mustn’t forget Hans Albers, who has once again produced another brilliant arrangement.  I cannot ever thank him enough for everything he brings to these songs.  Thanks to you all for listening.  Your encouragement means everything.  (Terry Reeves)

Head in the clouds nowhere to go
Empty room with guitar solo show
Playing demo of songs for reaction
Cathartic moments, hidden rejection

Searching for a root division (Dividing dreams, finding truth)
Searching for a root division (Concerts in telephone booths)

Expressive words tried to be taken
Spying musical notes not unshaken
Hopeful moves toward a joint decision
Holidays end in disappointing collision

Searching for a root division  (Dividing dream, avoiding life)
Searching for a root division  (Cutting sharp, use surgical knife)

Writing words with a political slant
Separation of four directional plants
Playing music with family heroes 
No thought of ending with ‘Another Zero’

Searching for a root division (Dividing dream, avoiding truth) 
Searching for a root division (Finding time, a musical sleuth)

(Never expected my brothers to call...)
Searching for a root division (repeat)
 
Live band recording reel to reel tape
Buzzing feeling with a chance to escape 
Start to finish our music engagement 
All on my own to a foursome arrangement

Searching for a root division (Dividing dreams, avoiding truth) 
Searching for a root division (Keeping time all under one roof)

(It’s time to get the band out of bed…"Come on John!")     
Searching for a root division… (Repeat to end)

SEARCHING FOR A ROOT DIVISION - Cripple Club & Hans Albers

＊This work was made by overdubbing my guitar performance to Ray's work "Excuse Me".Thank you Ray for accepting my request.
------------------------------
Ray ---- Excuse Me
https://soundcloud.com/in-the-mood-for-music/excuse-me
------------------------------
＊Below is from Ray's original description.

ーーA slow and melancholic song, hope you like it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82n6jeKPRo0
Facts about this Track:
Idea, Arrangment, Audio-Editing and Midi-Programming, Guitar playing, Mixing and Mastering by Ray
Vocals: Audio-Samplesーー

------------------------------
＊By the way, it's Ray, not me, who makes the chord backing that takes the rhythm with the wah pedal, the thick chord stroke with the flanger, and the pick scratch that rubs the wound strings with the pick.  Please listen to Ray's work and check it out.  From the beginning, Ray brought a sound that wasn't normally "suitable" for this piece.  The charm of this free and open work is exactly what Ray created.
------------------------------
Over the last few months, we have been exposed to a lot of media coverage. A man who lived and worked with his family in Poland returned to his hometown of Lviv with his family. "I can't stand to see the destroyed city anymore. I want to regain the beautiful Ukraine," he said. "It's a beautiful country, Ukraine," said one woman proudly. She said, "It has been destroyed and polluted, but we will definitely regain beautiful Ukraine."

When the Ukrainian people talk about "Ukraine, a beautiful country", there is a vast sky and land. As I watch the news of the tragedy, I find that we are more encouraged by the strength of the people who are ready to rebuild the country.

Initially, I was planning to work on another work by Ray, but when I listened to this song again, I noticed that "the sky" appeared in the refrain part. I know the lyrics of this piece deal with a different theme, but as I hummed the refrain, I felt that it could be a "fighting song" for me to move forward with the Ukrainian people. .. The target of support is the Ukrainian people, and I myself. I secretly thought that I wanted to make it one of the "cheer songs" for everyone, who are struck by this unreasonable invasion. And I decided to put my guitar on this song.

------------------------------
In addition, "Lillithe / Paploviante", including the sound source that Ray seems to have used in this work, should be called our great pioneer in that field as well. They have produced a huge collection of works using Vocals' Audio-Samples as the theme. At that time, I would like to note that they are experts who have mastered the source and lyrics of Samples by clearly stating them each time. The creators who inherit the method will be able to learn from the various usages of Samples to the usage rules by keeping in mind the reference of the works they have accumulated. It will be a great ally for each successor as they open up the future beyond SoundCloud.

Their enormous collection of works teaches us a lot. I would like to express my deep gratitude to them again for that.

Excuse Me

Ray - Excuse Me  ft.JUNZO on electric guitar

That’s All
I’m drowning in the pool of life 
feeling the depth there’s no help insight 
my only choice is move towards the light
holding my breath will that make things right 
I don’t know but I have to fight 
I don’t know but I have to fight 

is it a dream —-will someone wake me 
silently scream —-it’s driving me crazy 

I’m over my head and I’m soaking wet 
I do believe that I’m out of my depth
I’m over my head and I’m soaking wet 
over my head
over my head

That's All

One of my works recorded in my "previous" life before the war. Sometimes we feel tiny and lonely in the Universal. Lately I feel tiny and helpless facing the horrors of the war in my country...

Qu'est-ce que j' te dois, qu'est-ce que tu m' dois ? 
Bienvenue dans la fricomanie
J'ai tout en tête pour faire la fête dans cette putain d' farçocratie
Si j' me fais prendre sans m' faire comprendre, 
j' peux toujours plaider la folie
Si j' me fais pendre, mes illusions aussi..

Comme cette lune brisée dans mon grand cerveau vide
Qui n'a jamais appris à tricher, à rêver d'être avide
Belle comme un sein blond, une noisette sucrée
Et qui t' offre l'amour pour le prix d'un péché..
Ne porte dans tes rêves que ce que tu défends
Comme le ciel et la sève, la vie jamais ne ment

Cover them up so you don't see beyond the mask
My worlds a dying star

Save me from the storm inside my bones
The fear of living on my own
I'm all alone

Letra  / Translated lyrics (inspired by Aldous Huxley's novel 'Island')

EL PÁJARO MINAH  /  THE MINAH BIRD

Me desperté  /  I woke up
de un sueño equivocado,  /  from a wrong dream,
tumbado entre palmeras,  /  lying among palm trees,
no estoy perdido ni encontrado.  /  I’m neither lost nor found.

Me siento bien,  /  I feel alright,
el sol me ha iluminado,  /  the sun has illuminated me,
la vida se estremece  /  life is shaking
y el egoísmo se ha agotado.  /  and selfishness is exhausted.

Pero cómo no lo pude ver?  /  But how couldn’t I see it?
No tenemos que ir ni que volver.  /  We don’t either have to go or come back.
Hay que sentirlo para creer  /  One must feel it to believe
que vivimos muy cerca del Edén.  /  that we live very near of Eden.

Es esto real?  /  Is this real?
Atrás quedan las ruinas de la ciudad.  /  Behind are left the ruins of the city.
No pierdas tu tiempo,  /  Don’t waste your time,
no sufras más.  /  don’t suffer anymore.

Cuando el ave abra sus alas  /  When the bird opens its wings
y el día se convierta en oscuridad,  /  and the day becomes darkness,
escucha su cantar,  /  listen to its singing,
deja de pensar y vive.  /  stop thinking and live.

Pero cómo no lo pude ver?  /  But how couldn’t I see it?
No tenemos que ir ni que volver.  /  We don’t either have to go or come back.
Hay que sentirlo para creer  /  One must feel it to believe
que vivimos muy cerca del Edén.  /  that we live very near of Eden.

El ritual del Mosha,  /  The ritual of Mosha,
luz del amor al alba,  /  light of love at dawn,
la plenitud del alma,  /  the fullness of the soul,
el privilegio de la vida  /  the privilege of life
como canta el Pájaro Minah  /  as the Minah Bird sings.

Una procesión de focos avanza,  /  A procession of lights goes onward,
rugir de tanques, ruido de armas.  /  tanks roar, noise of guns.
Un grito llama a la venganza  /  A shout claims for revenge
cuando un soldado dispara al Pájaro Minah.  /  when a soldier shoots the Minah Bird.

Tanques y tropas arrasan la ciudad.  /  Tanks and troops raze the city.
La estupidez humana es el arma más letal.  /  Human stupidity is the most lethal weapon.
Cien años de historia  /  A hundred years of history
en una noche ven su final.  /  in one night watch their end.

Cuando el ave cae al suelo  /  When the bird falls to the ground
y su sangre se convierte en hielo,  /  and its blood turns to ice,
y se apaga su cantar…  /  and its singing fades…
Jamás aprenderás si no quieres escuchar.  /  You’ll never learn if you don’t want to listen.

Pero cómo no lo pueden ver?  /  But how can’t they see it?
Hemos sido bendecidos al nacer.  /  We have been blessed at birth.
Hay que sentirlo para creer  /  One must feel it to believe
que la vida es sueño.  /  that life is dream.

Y no quiero despertar   /  And I don’t want to wake up
de este sueño equivocado.  /  from this wrong dream.
Me siento bien…  /  I feel alright …
Me siento bien…  /  I feel alright …
