Ship on the Horizon

Inka binka ball of 
Ink is in the water 
There’s got to be a ship on the horizon

Cause here on the island 
It’s cold and it’s violent 
There’s got to be a ship on the horizon

The children they say it 
In their rhyme games they play it 
There’s got to be a ship on the horizon

Mother nature’s got the ocean 
Put on your boots you’ve got the notion 
To splash in the rain 
I know you want to
Jump in every puddle of water

Tsunami is brewing 
It could be our ruin 
Don’t let it sink that ship on the horizon 
Look up in the sky now 
Children learn to fly now 
You can up and fly right off this island 
Inka binka ball of ink is in the water 
There’s got to be a ship on the horizon

Mother nature’s got the ocean 
Put on your boots you’ve got the notion 
To splash in the rain 
I know you want to
Jump in every puddle of water

Inka binka ball of ink is in the water 
There’s got to be a ship on the horizon

Harpsichord On A Box Spring

Beat Battle BB96 by Celaeno
Rules: on the thematic of the movie "Bullet Train", introduce randomness into your workflow and see where it takes you. You can do this in 2 ways:
-Make a song in any genre you like using 1 sample or MIDI file from the pack. You may change keys, and you may use your own sounds.
-Alternatively, you can go your own way. You don’t have to use my samples and MIDI if you don’t want to 😸 Pick a random chord progression and run with it. Flip coins, roll dice to determine song parameters. Randomize synth and FX patches!
----
DAW: Logic Pro X
Samples and SFX: 3rd party and Apple
Synths: Xfer Serum (using Celaeno MIDI samples)

Make It Simple (ft. celaeno)

File Updated: Added What I be (Michael Franti) section and It's a Fine Day (Opus 3) section. Emphasised the Carly Simon and NIN samples too better. One clear vocal line starting to emerge now


An important note:
This could obviously be considered suggestive.
I am strongly against the intense sexualisation we see in society. However I find it annoying that you need to tip toe around that when coming at it from from an honest non suggestive point of view like I am. Limiting art for the wrong reasons is not evolution and limits the thinking of younger people...

Taking that power back! My only intention in this song is to project and maybe even protect the funk! So I stand by it and I don't mean to offend anyone. Cancel culture only gets fixed when we have proper conversations about hard topics and suggestiveness can be both positively and negatively poignant for us I suppose...

If after reading this your still offended... Have another listen... Your life needs more funk imo... 

I have two daughters and one son. 9, 4 & 6.. Rising above the bullshit vein sexualisation of humanity will be their ticket and I'll help them flap those wings with songs like this. What does it achieve..? Enjoying words and ideas for what they are in the real world...  I'm hoping I'm transcending sexualisation with my intention and they'll be taught that when the time is right. What other adults make of this is none of my business...

If you read the words there is my non sexual intention in every single idea...

This is a very important thing society needs to learn for me. More widespread critical thinking. This train of thought reminds me of the Columbine shooting where so many young souls lost their lives needlessly. Most powerful circles blamed Marylyn Manson and other perceived brands of fear. Lyrically, when you read him, this couldn't be further from the truth .. Power circles with bias motives will always blame whoever they can creating cancel culture. We don't have to eat at their table though


Songs to consider for this:
-Cant touch this - MC Hammer
-Ice Ice Baby - Vanilla Ice
-Michael Franti ~ What I be
-Its a fine Day ~ Olive
-Blackbird ~ Song without Words (pitch shifted)
-Ocean between the Waves - The War on Drugs


Mashup of my collaboration with Oj22, Summer Ball / No, You Don't by NIN & You're so Vain by Carly Simon. Kudos to Super Acid Sunshine for that idea! This was in his mind for our project, The Sith and thats why i thought of it today ~ Will fix the prominence of the other two ideas just need to let it simmer for a bit and will bring them to the foreground nicely...
need to record the 'you're so vain' bit better and then should find one lead vocal to knit it all throughout... Very happy with this result so far



Adjust below funk me's to mention all the artists that end up in it and give them a relevant rhyme and shout out

Provocative because sexualistion is a problem for humanity! But for Carl and the family... It's deep thought 

Funk me

Summer Ball (Medley Mashup: NIN/Carly Simon/Opus 3/Michael Franti)

Back with Observers rule the Sun. I'll zip it for this one The Song can do the spouting and I'll just observe... haha mostly.. Decided to go with 3 acoustic arrangement, live mic for each on a seperate run and just sang while doing them so it's vox/acoustic x 3

Human time again. I think I'll make a rule for this song.... never play it with exact time. Only what comes out. Ruling that time. Ruling that sun. Love and Light to everyone 🔆

Lyrics

'Seed to simplify
Need to sense sight
Food for prescience
Moods from heavens
Beeds had roses in flames
Deeds from men insane
Creeds of confusion reigned
Cede it to never again

Feed my control
Knead self and soul
Knurl your metal mind
Unfurl your very kind
Know one inner you
Go control no two
This onness can become
When observers rule the sun

So on this Earth, We give birth
We found our worth
So on this Earth, We give birth
We found our worth

Read, to simplify
Sieze your sense of sight
In clues for prescience
Foods from heavens
Seeds have roses with names
Beeds from humans sane
Creed dissillusion saved
Ceded to never again

Feed my control
Knead self and soul
Knurl your metal mind
Unfurl your very kind
Know one inner you
Go control no two
This onness can become
When observers rule the sun

One cannot stare naked eye
In heart, cry explain cry
I'm told our sun enrols
All backbone of our soul
Some change or well be gone
Observers cannot be wrong



Knead: Work together with your hands. Mix

Knurl: Imprint a pattern on metal for a grip etc. So I mean a grip on your mind

Observers rule the Sun

I just want to say that nothing would have been done here without the encouragement from the really great people here in the SC community.  Thank you.
