Don’t Break the Silence (Ashton/Evans)

Well the nights don’t seem so cold and empty now
No more sounds we once used to make
A stillness softly fills the air somehow
A strange new friend I acquaint

So don’t break the silence
Cuz I found myself once again
In the arms of love that will never die
A passion I can embrace

All my hopes lay inside your hands
All the things that i prayed
But time told and did its work so well
and time will never betray

So don’t Break the silence
Cuz my hearts now on the mend
And I feel an ocean of tenderness
Not a sea of pretence

Oh my love is elemental
sends my soul on its way

sends my soul on its way

Don’t break the silence
Leave me this me this way
Cuz I feel the open expanse of love
Fill me up everyday

No don’t break the silence
Hear these words that I say
Cuz I lie in the arms of such tenderness
Don’t call me away



Don't Break The silence

YOUR MELODY (Ashton/Evans)

Captured by the sounds you make
An Inner rapture I embrace
And I feel my senses come alive
To you rhythms reaching to my rhyme

Fragile sculptures taking shape
Dancing as each note relates

And your melody lives inside me now
Yeah your melody how it find me now
And sends me away

Lines that wrap around and roll
Intertwine musical gold
Reaching to my very core
Giving my song wings to soar

Cuz your melody lives inside me now
Yeah your melody how it find me now
And sends me away (rpt)


Your Melody

FREEDOM’S NAME (Om Nama Shiva)

Calling out in Freedoms Name
Revered and sweet your holy name
Bless me with your righteousness here

Lead to the holy ground
Where love stands tall and all around
The song of joy resounding everywhere

Freedoms Name

Take me to the light of truth
Banish ignorance I used
To find solace and sweet  comfort in

Awaken please this humble soul
Your pleasure now my only goal
Your Freedom that I would bathe in

Freedoms Name

Take now into your hands
My blessed lord I understand
The Fight is over now you’re here

I open to a love so strong
I heed your words and sing your song
And pray for my salvation to be seen.

Freedoms Name (Om Nama Shivaya)

First Madego offering for a number of years. Great to be back, hope you enjoy this track.

Lyrics:

The Other Side or Today
(Evans/Ashton)

There’s a stillness at rise
Takes me by surprise
All that remains inside
Is empty space

And the world I Knew
I seem to fall right through
Of What I thought was true
There’s just no trace

Guess I’ll take a Ride
Upon The Other Side of Today

The seeker no more
Bows to his chattering thoughts
A sweet silence that roars
to takes its place

An invisible hand
leads me over lands
Where enchantment fans
creations flame

Oh with me floating here
In this sweet atmosphere
Where sensuality reigns

Fly me anywhere you dare
Let me ride the rays

Saturn rises overhead
Constellations play
On the Other side of Today

A dreamers dream of some kind
a crazy children's nursery Rhyme
Where figures dance and sing in time
As the world spins away

And all Along
I knew where my love had Gone
An ancient and wordless song
I hear every day

Leagues of Angels fill the air
Guiding me through space
I’ll Meet you 
on the other Side of Today.

The Other Side Of Today

LYRICS

Losing control
For the longest time my heart was grey
classic signs that tell their own dark tale
You arrived a lighted up my soul
Turned the tide and swept me to your shore
I want no more.

A sweet enchantment - such heartache
Like a tiger's stare you hold my gaze
In those eyes time loses hold
As I feel myself fall losing Control
Losing Control

Shes in mind all of the time
A light that never drifts away
Like warm sunshine Its a pure sign
I’m Losing more control each day

A hurricane of love coming my way
Surrender to this storm that saturates
Such a rain

Well she ignites a fire in me that calls
I turn away but know that I want more
She's in my mind
And in my soul
helps me find
The impossible


She touches me like softly falling rain
I’m losing control
(of her love I can't get enough Rpt)

Losing Control

Thanks Degs for allowing me to write this deeply personal song for my Mom (Thelma)to this Track.  The cruelty of Dementia has no bounds and everyone affected would turn the clock back in a heartbeat. That's the theme here.

When it Began (lyrics).....

I wake up every morning and
Hope that there's a smile upon your face
But deep inside 
The feelings rise
and tell me that somehow
I lost my faith

I shielded my eyes
I bowed my head and walked away

I don’t know how it all began
I don’t know how to
Make a happy end

Your candlelight was burning bright
Nothing could extinguish your sweet flame

And if you could just return today
Then we can just forget
When it began

A call an invocation and
Hope someone out there can hear 
my prayer

But what my heart can’t understand
Is why no answers 
come to stem your tears

But if I could find some explanation
We can just forget that it began

When it Began

All your lights were burning bright
All your expectations and your dreams


You always held me oh so close
Always tried to chase away my fears

Now at the time you need me most
You're so out of reach but I’m right here

When It Began (Song for Thelma)

Who knows Love

I wait for love
The final awakening
when Im gone
there’ll be no doubt

Down and down again
it never stops
I hear your call
but know I’ll never touch

Who knows love
When it comes
Spreading out in all directions

Who knows Love
When said and done
Chasing out all imperfection

Moving in all Directions
Love sweet and so sensationally spun

Free fallling no protection
making love unconditionally one

Who knows love.....
(love love love in free fall)

Who Knows Love - Madego

The next in the MADEGO collaboration, certainly an unmistakable U2 vibe (it those guitars) but really enjoyed putting this one together and blasting the chorus out. Hope you enjoy too. Thank you for fropping by and listening.

Rain falls

Going Down  (Ashton/Evans)
Like a soldier standing in a rag parade
she stripped me down to size and in her hands I lay
On the mountainside I felt my hopes all roll
Down the steep incline to where all dreams run cold

Caught within her aim
I saw the trigger squeeze and I heard her say
You’re going down,  you’re going down down down
You’re going down,  you’re going down down down
Down down down.

She’s like a lightning strike you better run away
Find a safer ground  - a sweeter place to lay
Cuz her sparks they fly and lift you in the air
And with a demon fire that drops you in despair

Oh Stand within her range you know you’ll pay the price
with that sting of pain
You’re going down,  you’re going down down down
You’re going down,  you’re going down down down
Down down down.

Still hope rises I can’t disguise it I’m begging for one more day
Oh pleading for some air she pulls herself so close
And tightens up the snare

You’re going down,  you’re going down down down
You’re going down,  you’re going down down down
Down down down.

Hanging on every word that you say
Praying that the tide will change
Drifting out on the waves
But you just won’t reach out to save

You’re going down,  you’re going down down down
(all the love that we shared does it matter to you or care)
You’re going down,  you’re going down down down
Down down down.








Going Down

HOLD BACK THE RAIN

Lost inside my mind
A torment deep inside
Hypnotised by stories that it renders
Words that shriek and wail
But they just can’t prevail
When I feel your love so warm and tender

Stand my ground
seeking comfort now
In your heart the place that I take shelter

Hold back the Rain
Hold Back The Rain
Stay Close in my heart

Seeking for you now
Searching over ground
Grasping every hope however slender
Hoping for a sign beckoning sunshine
And warmth inside my heart that I remember


Hold back the Rain
Hold Back The Rain
Stay close in my heart

repeat to fade


Hold Back The Rain

I will sail away from these shores
I will find a love that leavesme no more
Cuz when the night islong, lonely and cold
When the rain falls down and the thunder roars
Darlin tell me please if you find my heart

When the bitterness cut to the bone
With no tender love to keep me safe and warm
Darlin tell me please If you find my heart .....

If you find my heart

INTRODUCING “MADEGO”
Hello soundcloud dudes  MADEGO (mad-ego) is/ are Derek Evans and Deon Ashton. We met whilst posting our original songs over at MP3Unsigned.com. It was only recently that we came together and realised that we had very similar musical tastes, and that we could marry our two styles together to form what you will find here. 
We both find melodic rock/pop, song with strong melody, harmony and good writing a real buzz and aspire to achieve these qualities, though you will have to judge to what extent we do so.  So, yeah, we are both really excited about this new found partnership (Feb2012) and are putting together (we feel) some nice catchy tunes which we hope to get critiqued on the site. We really do value your comments and advice on our new musical adventure. And as with most of us, this is all homespun stuff, so we appreciate all help in making the tunes as best we can.
So sincere and big thanks to you for all for dropping by and listening
All the Best
Degs & Deon (MADEGO)
