Lyrics: 

Intro: This one's for my Hades Babies, this is for my Hades Babies, yeah

Verse 1: Shadow’s got me again 
Got me creepin' again 
Overthinkin' again 
I ain’t been sleepin' again 
I’m addicted to sin 
I’m addicted to pain 
Every loss is a win 
When I’m fully insane, ‘cause
If it’s bad then I want it 
If it’s good then I don’t 
I don’t know if I’m haunted 
Said I’d change, but I won’t 
This old blues is historic 
And its trauma consumes 
If I may wax metaphoric, 
I blame my Hades Moon

Chorus 1: It’s Just that Hades Moon
It’s Just that Hades Moon
It’s Just that Hades Moon
It’s Just that Hades Moon
Moon, Moon

Verse 2: It’s just that Hades Moon 
It’s such a shady tune 
Like Persephone’s doom 
She was trapped in a tomb 
Now she’s begging for June 
So she can go frolic free 
But soon as I see the Sun 
He’s bothering me
Saying, “Come back to the Underworld, come and be my girl.” 
I couldn’t help but fall, couldn’t resist the call 
Now I’m back in the dark 
But I’m planting the seed 
So my soul can evolve finally

Chorus 2: It’s Just that Hades Moon
 (Everyday, from night to noon,
 it's just that Hades Moon)
 It's Just that Hades Moon
 (When I'm all wrapped up in gloom, 
you can blame my Hades Moon)
 It's Just that Hades Moon 
(Just that Hades!)
Just that Hades Moon

Bridge: It’s not just the Moon 
He vanquished the Sun too 
He’s next to my heart 
My Venus is dark too 
Incarnating’s hard 
These lessons are part two- 
thousand and a day 
Maybe I’ll find my way ooh
It’s not just the Moon 
He vanquished the Sun too 
He’s next to my heart 
My Venus is dark too 
Incarnating’s hard 
This lifetime is part two- 
thousand and a day 
Maybe someday I’ll learn to

SUMMER RAIN

A drone-based piece made for the haiku challenge 614 of Naviar records.

The coming of autumn determined by a red dragonfly

by: Kaya Shirao

Kaya Shirao was born in 1738 in Fukagawa, Edo, now part of Tokyo.
He ran a school in Edo during Spring and Autumn, but in Summer and Winter, he would move to the countryside to teach thousands of aspiring poets from throughout the Shinano province (now Nagano Prefecture). He's considered one of the first established haikai writers to help spread cultural forms from national to regional urban centers.

an autumn nightfall the skeleton of a huge fish drawn back by the sea.

by: Saitō Sanki

Saitō Sanki (1900 – 1962) was a dentist who discovered his passion for haiku poetry in his mid-thirties, when his colleagues at the hospital in Soto Kanda convinced him to write a haiku for a collection. Later, he became one of the most important exponents of wartime haiku: he was imprisoned in 1940 during the government’s World War II persecution of controversial artists, and was officially forbidden to write until the end of the war.

身代りはいらない
身代りがほしいのではない
損なわれても生きられるから
大事そうに木偶を抱く人も
他人を責めることは好むが
自分が糺される段になると
木偶を投げ捨てて逃げ去る
街灯の丸い光の下でわたしは
捨て去られ首のもげた木偶を
くらい運河の水に蹴落とした

I don't need a substitute.
I don't want a substitute.
I can live even if I'm damaged.
People who cherish their puppets love to blame others, but when it comes time for them to be held accountable, they throw the puppet away and run away.
Under the light of a street lamp, a puppet with its head torn off has been abandoned. I kicked the puppet into the dark waters of the canal.

Update Nov 2025: Lots of selfmade, mostly bed-& livingroom-produced tracks here, different styles because of different moods and music tools, often selfmade instruments, allways experimenting (f.e.: https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/experimentingwithovertones) and in search of sounds and soundmaking stuff (https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/experimental-4 or https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/ashtrayrecordings).... harmonic or non-harmonic....mostly mixed in Ableton ....and all free to download ...if you want to use one of my tracks or try a collab, just do it and tell me about it... all in terms of Creative Commons...
you'll find some of my collabs here: https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/cloudersremixesorcovers or https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/bellalovvacollabsnsessions with my beloved partner&wife&everything or, with my son: https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/berlintapes, or https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/lovvarisade-collab-with-christiansade or https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/santiagocordobahadjiahmedlovva or https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/the3blueelephants...
 I have to make music every free minute, allways full of it, and, about time, over the years, I have a lot of nice instruments, percussions, synths , grooveboxes & toys & effects (listen to: https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/novation-circuit-kaossilator,  https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/pushedtothemax, https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/synth, https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/thereminstuff,  or selfmade Instruments to do this (for example the WonderBoXX: https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/lovvari-klingerling-best-of-my or https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/selfmade-instruments)... and more and more, I like to sing ( https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/akapellastuff or https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/lovvasblues, https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/la-bretagne-oktobermusik-2025)... and I like to tell musical stories (https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/lovvasjourneys) ... I like to switch between the genres (https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/whataboutjazz, https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/mnml-2, https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/any-kind-of-hops, https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/darksides, https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/dubbystuffs, https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/electronicvibes...
All of these tracks are my kind of relaxing and meditation and I will do it till the end of time...
I hope, you like, what I do....You may find a lot, but no autotune and no AI, I swear...
You cannot OWN music, you only can MAKE it.... (something, Neneh Cherry said)... and so I do...
I never learned an instrument, I am an analphabet in music theory, but that's not important: 
I AM an instrument and there's always music inside me.... and I go on...
SC is my diary: The diary of my steps into the world of music since 2012....
if you want to know something about that: you're welcome!
One of my tracks is especially made for you... 
Enjoy! 
Try the playlists ; ) ... If you want to, you could listen to my music now for over 4 days nonstop...  ; D
...and if that's not enough, listen to those wonderful soundclouders: https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/thingsilike-inspiring
