electric draining

- a train passing nearby, about 5m from the microphones

Beyond the train and tracks there is water, the St-Laurent river, on the other side of which there is an amusement park, sometimes called fairground, on a small island.  This was Summer so the park was opened and active, you can hear roller coaster people screaming, as if echoing the train's voice at the end of the recording.

I got lucky on this one, I was riding my bike and I heard it, and was able to quickly setup my machine which I sometimes carry in my backpack exactly for this type of

Screaming Steel

Lyrics;
I didn't ask to be here
But I don't want to leave
They say you won't find Heaven
If you don't believe

I wake up every morning
my body feeling sore
And I still have no idea
what this life is for

Memories crawling forward
From way back in my mind
Like bugs from out of nowhere
That I can't leave behind

I heard the Word as I grew up
But folks would read it differently
Now I don't know who's right or wrong
Guess we'll just have to wait and see

I didn't ask to be here
But I don't want to leave
Can you stumble into Heaven
If you don't believe

See things on the news
Spun and twisted for more views
The misery can sometimes get a bit
much to me

See places that I'll never go
Edited for prime time shows
The hardships and the poverty

They didn't ask to be there
And they can't seem to leave
But can find their way to Heaven
If they just believe

But the world can be so wonderful
So I go outside to get my fill
Of trees and grass and clouds and sky
As raindrops fell before my eyes

And the world can be cold and dark
And lightning's bound to leave a mark
Back to the shelter of my home
Watch through the window till the storm is gone

Too much time I have to think
I feel my feelings start to sink
Those creeping bugs soon return
With ghosts of the past and lessons learned

No, I didn't ask to be here
But I sure don't want to leave
How can anyone find Heaven
If they don't believe?

“Bobbi” came by. Complaining.
I have captured it and tried to reproduce it.

Always that one wheel of your cart they say,
but my cart is splendid, perfectly shaped and aerodynamic.
So here we go through the two panels of glass that open wide for me.

Oh why, why does it feel like a racing track for dummies?
Slow old people and these kids running into everybody.

Besides that, we have so many products, it’s insane!!!

If I was bread I would be tired from rising and being touched to check the price which is always at the bottom..
I’d feel like a sausage, ripped after heated situations in the aisles around!
Far away I hear the bottles of beer brewing to break and prevent all that boozing in prospect.

And then these magazines, I have no clue why and I wish I could read them before buying
but then what, because I already read them?

So I just walk past it and check my own piece of paper with all these things that I apparently am in need of.
I wish I had taken more time to calculate the route, but this supermarket changes from time to time and leaves everybody in great despair!!!

I ask an employee for information and she knows everything! Every little thing because she is in the possession of some kind of tricorder, well I don’t know and why would I care.

Get my stuff out of the cart and scan and pay and more paper, a receipt that looks like a paper scroll from the ancient Egyptians or Romans, how epic!!!!!  All this information: the date, the time, I just read and read and then I realize I am done and what am I even doing here waiting in front of the gate to freedom!!!

606 - A Place In Time

Hi, I'm a keys player and I like making up grooves to existing jazz and latin standards. Over the last few years I've been mainly working on original numbers.

It's just me in the music you hear, I play all the parts off a keyboard recording in midi and layer up into the finished version.

I started playing the piano as a kid , then took up the trombone and played for fun in various local amateur bands and orchestras. Then at 18 went to college and didn't do anything  musically  for many years. Started playing the saxophone and tuba more recently, and in the last four years or so got back into the keyboard which is now my main instrument.

I like making up jazzy  late night music & music you can listen to when travelling. Sounds like a strange thing but I find the most enjoyable part of a holiday is the travelling part, whether that's on a plane , train or even a car on a quiet road with some nice views. Looking through a window with a changing view, in a bubble of suspended time between two worlds, that's what travelling feels like to me, and I like to write music that sounds that way - http://soundcloud.com/markd54321/361-stolen-moments-320kbps . Can't really explain it any better than that for now. Cheers Mark
