So nice transition to the instrumental bridge !! Final refrains sound lovely !!

Great mood! Wonderful song! Added to playlist :)

a sad, depressing ode to the injustice of life....surfing on the puke-filled tide...can't say it more poignantly... the opening pitch bend was a clarion call...and the tune had that abrasive quality that commands attention...some gentle piano and guitar in there under that veneer of disenchantment...hints at the vulnerability under the harsh exterior...enjoyed the arrangement and the perspective expressed in your vocals. :)

NOT AS EXPECTED

All My Precious Things

I guess I've been hopping around the Cloud long enough to be influenced by all of you. This one is pretty strongly influenced by the bucolic musings of the Cloud King, Chris Pellnat @pretentiousmusic.

From Wikipedia: "Mud daubers are not normally aggressive, but can become belligerent when threatened. Stings are uncommon." To this I can relate.

Dirt Dauber

Dirt Dauber, Dirt Dauber
There’s work to be done
There’s no time for fun
In the sun

Dirt Dauber, work harder
Your larder is bare
Nine spiders despair
When they’re stung

Jittery lady
Adobe architect 
A potter, an artist of mud

It’s all for the baby
A tinge of regret
Your life, a labor of love
 
Work faster, you master 
Of plaster matte walls
Waddle and daubing your halls
 
You flickering onyx
My spindle waste friend
Slaving away til the end

Your moment is coming
You’ve almost arrived
Your masterpiece nearly complete

All in awe we applaud
And with tears in our eyes
As you fall from the skies to our feet

Dirt Dauber, Dirt Dauber
There’s work to be done
There’s no time for fun
In the sun

Dirt Dauber, work harder
Your larder is bare
Nine spiders despair
When they’re stung

Dirt dauber you martyr
A lamb to the slaughter
Why bother? Why bother?
Why bother? Why bother?

Dirt dauber you martyr
A lamb to the slaughter
Why bother? Why bother?
Why bother? Why bother?

Dirt dauber you martyr
A lamb to the slaughter
Why bother? Why bother?
Why bother? Why bother?

Where is our freedom?

FREEDOM IN MY MIND

Standup to be counted
Upload trust and download love
Air is full of songs
But no one is there to sing with
Life isn´t casual
You are the chance

Freedom is in my mind
Ain´t got dues with time, baby
Ain´t got dues with time!

Happiness is a state of mind
Freedom is a goal of life
And people come and go
Just scrolling roles with no goals
The cost of freedom is in the air
Let's try to sing a song together
Dices rolling and we keep prowling
But don´t forget to give a smile!

Freedom is in my mind
Ain´t got dues with time, baby
Ain´t got dues with time!

Freedom is in our minds 
We ain´t got dues with time
No dues with time!
No dues with time!
We´re free
We got freedom in our mind!

Happiness is a state of mind
Freedom is a goal to live
So standup to be counted!
Upload trust and download love!
The cost of freedom is in the air
So let's sing this song together
While dices roll and we prowl again

Freedom is in mind minds
We ain´t got dues with time, baby
No dues with time, no dues with time, no dues with time 
We are free !

FREEDOM IN MY MIND (Alfonso Llorente)

Five steps (each one with two parts) progressing along 3 minutes thru different styles: rock, psycho, pop, hard..., and finally back to the psychopoppy ones.

Letra / Lyrics:

No siempre he estado aquí (soy imperfecto) / I have not always been here (I am imperfect)

Cuando tengo frío, o tengo calor, / When I feel cold, or I feel hot,
cuando tropiezo, me quemo, o siento dolor… / when I stumble, I burn myself, or feel pain …

y  empiezo a pensar que no siempre he estado aquí, / and I start to think that I have not always been here,
y que todo en este mundo es ajeno a mí. / and that everything in this world is alien to me.

Pienso que este cuerpo / I think that this body
que me sirve para moverme / I use to move myself
no es todo lo perfecto que debiera. / is not as perfect as it had to.

Me siento extraño / I feel strange
donde tendría que estar a gusto, / where I should to be comfortable,
y me reconforto / and I feel better
cuando me relaciono bien con el mundo. / when I relate well to the world.

Empiezo a pensar en el tránsito; / I start to think about the passage;
que no siempre he estado ni estaré aquí; / that I have not always been nor will be here;
que mi vida es un entretenimiento / about my life being an entertainment
en el viaje a otro sitio. / along the trip to another place.

Y descubro lo profundo / And I discover the deepness
entre tanta superficialidad, / among so much superficialness,
si la meta de todo lo que hago / if the goal of everything I do
es comer y respirar, / is to eat and breathe,
¿qué clase de razón tengo en la cabeza? / what kind of reason do I have in my head?
¿qué soy yo dentro de este juego? / what am I within this game?

 descubro lo profundo / And I discover the deepness
entre tanta superficialidad, / among so much superficialness,
y me pongo a pensar, / and I start thinking,
y empiezo a pensar… / and I start to think …

y  empiezo a pensar que no siempre he estado aquí, / and I start to think that I have not always been here,
y que todo en este mundo es ajeno a mí. / and that everything in this world is alien to me.

Pienso que este cuerpo / I think that this body
que me sirve para moverme / I use to move myself
no es todo lo perfecto que debiera. / is not as perfect as it had to.

No siempre he estado aquí (Soy imperfecto)

God damn, you're so cold / Everyone that you touch
Well they just freeze, freeze
A heart of stone / Molten by the devil 
Your hatred made them leave, leave
Rebel souls, come my way / Stranglehold
It the motion of the world falling down
Crumble to the ground again, to the ground it ends
Expectations of a life full of love
Everything has died inside / To the hell, divide
See your colors fade / Hazy like the gray in your eyes
Yeah, you have changed, changed
Never sane / The chemical imbalance in your mind
Made you hate, hate
Rebel souls, come my way / Stranglehold
It the motion of the world falling down
Crumble to the ground again, to the ground it ends
Expectations of a life full of love
Everything has died inside / To the hell, divide

Thanks for indulging my weird ideas Bitzone, you are the best!

This song is part of an LP of 12 songs that I made with Stricknice, Bitzone, and Wou-Wou & The Wormling (and many other friends who you all know on SoundCloud) from a massive set of demo tracks that Wou-Wou graciously passed on to me. Basically, this LP worth of songs was an early pandemic gift cause I had a little extra time on my hands to make music! I was originally going to release all the songs in one long track but one of my muses kept telling me to release this song on its own and I eventually succumbed to her wishes. I am massively grateful for all the work Stricknice, Bitzone, and Wou-Wou put into this big project. There may be more songs from this project that trickle out before the whole set is released. It was super cool to finally work with Bontender on a song. I have been a big fan of his indie rock sound for a long time. Bonetender rocks!!! 

This song goes out to all the loners, weirdoes, freaks, and geeks out there. Who cares what society wants you to be. Be yourself and you just do you! There are plenty of normal people in the world already.

Lyrics

Watching you out the corner of my eye 
Memorize your schedule to pass by
Feeling your energy get closer to intensify
Don’t think I’m a creep I’m really a nice guy

Why can’t I just walk up and say hi
I’d rather watch you from the wall like a fly

Ghosting out of my Generation 

Watching you out the corner of my eye
Seeing you finally here to pass by
Inhale your scent to remember I retry
Don’t want to think I’m a creep so I lie

Why can’t I just walk up and say hi  
I’d rather stay up against the wall like a fly

Ghosting out of my Generation 

Watching you out the corner of my eye
Waiting all day for you to pass by
Feeling you brush against me I electrify
Don’t think I’m a creep I’m really a nice guy

Why can’t I just walk up and say hi
I’d rather watch you from the wall like a fly

Ghosting out of my Generation 
Castration Nation

Bonetender, Stricknice, Bitzone, Wou-Wou & The Wormling, and the Couch King - Ghosting Out

Where there's courage there are mutilated lions
Where there's courage there are broken giants
In this misshapen world where the bruiser gets the girl
And I wonder what's the point of it all?

CHORUS
So tell me why am I so sick inside?
Surfing my board across the puke filled tide
Why am I so sick inside?
I retch with envy

Who can mend these strong but broken hearts?
I've been acting far too many parts
Today my outlooks fine but I've had three jugs of wine
And I cannot even start to tell the time

CHORUS

Sick Inside

Slave To The Rhythm feat. Vocalatti /Paploviante - Bass

Right Here

i hear these voices in my head
i ain't tryin' to quiet them no more
i just give into them
there is no making sense of it
you just gotta go with it now
and Lady Luck may lead you to your destination now
it's only motion down below
you look above and see a million stars
it's hard to tell which way is up down in a hemisphere... 
don't you know where you're going boy
it seems that you have been a long time comin' to this place now
it seems so far but it seems so close
it's drawn me into the air
so hold on tight you never know
where you may know
