Almost a month later and still this one funks my brain-junk up in the most en-gorge(d)ous ways... sexy sounds that arouse my ear-ogenous zones, straight from my favorite sketchy ear-o-genius...  <3  <3  <3

北風(Northerlies)

風が鳴る
笛が鳴る
吹き下ろす
吹きあがる
狐のように尾を引き
板戸を蹴倒す
高笑い　はっは
かすれ声　ひっひ
竈にわだかまる

The wind sounds like a flute.
It blows down and up.
It drags its tail like a fox and kicks down the plank door.
High laughter. Ha-ha-ha.
Husky voice. Hee-hee-hee.
Crouching on the stone hearth.

There Once Was

I am happy to present the first joint song this year with Shark Teeth. I hope you like it as much as we do :-)

Here the way to Shark Teeth's fantastic work: https://soundcloud.com/shark_teeth93

LYRICS:
Do you think you're ready for what I've got on my mind?
You think that you've got me but instead I think you'll find...

All the noise I push away
Set the mark and struck the vein
And it's going to bring the pain
Cause I don't fucking need you

As night rolls over to day
Every word you have to say
Brings a smile onto my face
Cause I know I'm gonna hurt you

Never needed you anyway
You made the bed in which you lay
Now you're feeling dead and grey
Cause I didn't let you haunt me
Never needed you anyway
You made the bed in which you lay
Now you're feeling dead and grey
Cause I didn't let you haunt me

Every time you speak it's like a razor up my spine
It's not worth pretending everything is good and fine
Maybe you'll cut into me the way I do to you
Love or hate me for everything that I ever do

All the noise I push away
Set the mark and struck the vein
And it's going to bring the pain
Cause I don't fucking need you

As night rolls over to day
Every word you have to say
Brings a smile onto my face
Cause I know I'm gonna hurt you

Never needed you anyway
You made the bed in which you lay
Now you're feeling dead and grey
Cause I didn't let you haunt me

Too bad for me
Too bad for you

All the noise I push away
Set the mark and struck the vein
And it's going to bring the pain
Cause I don't fucking need you

As night rolls over to day
Every word you have to say
Brings a smile onto my face
Cause I know I'm gonna hurt you

Never needed you anyway
You made the bed in which you lay
Now you're feeling dead and grey
Cause I didn't let you haunt me
Never needed you anyway
You made the bed in which you lay
Now you're feeling dead and grey
Cause I didn't let you haunt me

Bass played by Good Boy Cheerleader ( @goodboycheerleader ) - Thank You for Your funk <3

Watch the Official Music Video in all it's Goofy Glory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVKvb1z6U_M

This song was so much fun to make! In addition to it's supreme goofiness, it holds quite a depth of meaning for me.

It's about embracing life's inevitable struggles, pains, confusions, frustrations, and depressions as a part of being alive, and not running from them or feeling afraid or ashamed of them. This is part of who we are - there is no happiness in running from ourselves. We cannot be at peace while we are afraid of our own depths. 

It's about releasing and liberating ourselves from the pressures of being the person that we think other people want us to be, and instead being who we are, following our hearts, and blossoming as the uniquely beautiful flower that each and every one of us is.

It's about relinquishing the desire to fix and change others, and learning to accept them as they are, even if we don't understand it.

It's about enjoying the simplicity and playfulness of life. Letting go and being content and grateful with what we have, and who we are in any given moment. Sitting in a funk and feeling our way through it, not distracting ourselves from what we are feeling.

Your Funk isn't a bad word - if You're in a Funk - Embrace the Funk - Live the Funk - Breathe the Funk - Become the Funk - LOVE THE FUNK!!!

Sing with the Struggles, Dance with the Depressions, Paint with the Pains! YOU ARE ALIVE - You are ALOVE - and You are worthy of Your place on this earth.

Know that it's okay to feel the things that You feel.

Big Gratitude of inspiration, Love, and support in the making of this tune goes to Ryan, Cam, Tove, Anaïs, Frank, Terran, Tony, Benji, Eireen, Taryn, Ann (moni!), Cole, Jacob, Em, Jess, Joe, Cindy, Dorothy, B & G.

As always - thank You to my family, of Blood, of Music, and of Spirit - I Love You all so much it turns my heart into a warm puddle as deep as the ocean (please jump in it and make splaaasshh!!) <3 <3 <3

A birthday dedication to M.

^-^ ¡¡¡Be Yourself - Funk everything else!!! ^-^

Poetry:

Hey! 

//Can't take the Funk away//

Okay, hey, I'm in a Funk,
Not even tryna get out.
Nah this Funk's so fine,
What's all the fuss about?

Yeah I grew my hair out long and real dirty,
So I stink like the dog days, but I sing like the birdies!
No I ain't got no job, 
And they say that the Funk won't pay the bills.
I say "Come on, how'd You let Your mojo get away - huh?
Ritz or rubble baby, You gotta be Funkin' still!"

//Can't take the Funk away//

They say I'm in a Funk, that I'm in my own world.
They wanna give me the back to reality tour,
They take a detour, unsure, not in the brochure.
I say "Hey, how bout we bring a little Funk into Yours?"

They say "Whoa whoa whoa! You put the Funk in it's place,
And if You don't stop now You're gonna lose the human race!"
I say "ahahahahaha You go keep pace with the chase,
I'll make my groove face - play Funky bass with Ya shoelace man!"

//Can't take the Funk away//

It's David and Goliath!

If You're lookin' for defiance, me? I'm no fun.
I'll be puttin' off the giants with the Fe Fi Fo Funk!
If You're lookin' for alliance, I got my own drum.
I'll be trippin' up the giants with the Fe Fi Fo Funk!

//Can't take the Funk away//

You gotta do what You Love to do.
Be confident in Yourself.
We're given views and we're given shoes,
But You can leave those going round and round on that old carousel.

Be Yourself - Be Yourself, Funk everything else.
Be Yourself - Be Yourself - Funk.

Music is Magic.

Sing, Create, Connect, Share from the Heart.

Welcome to my Soundcloud-Love-Circle,

Lets call it the Lovecloud! :D

These are the Sketches, penciled quite meekly.
You paint the picture, with Your life's graffiti.

I'd like to make You smile.
I'd like to warm Your heart and make it dance.
I'd like to make You feel something.
If You see fit to give me the chance.

With so many songs to write, so many feelings to express, so much love to give...

I am Stevie, the man, the band, the singer, the composer, the player, the pseudonyms, the collaborator, the creator, the amateur, the goof, the writer, the poet, the lover, the friend, the heart and soul of Los Sketches,

And these Sketches are for You.

------

Love and Gratitude to dear friends, fans, and supporters <3
