this is good to hear you again, good instrumentation

Most lovely, Mark, and most inventive. "Chill" yet all busted up. That is a great combination (for me!). And you are in fine voice, sounding uniquely yourself.

Hello pleasure seekers! Here’s my latest original song and its video.
This one’s about the unending dedication we show those we truly love.

Seven Days by Mark Duffield

For seven days, I ran
Towards the sun

(Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)

For seven days, I swam
Always lying to myself
Never looking back

For seven days, I slept
Only dreams of you
Never looking back

(Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)

For seven days, I sang
Only of you & our kin

Seven Days ~ Mark Duffield (with Jonathan Beckenstein)

One life to work, another to dream.  
Dreaming leaves no garbage, working pollutes. 
The earth seems small to us, the mind likes the universe. 
There must be other beings who want to know us. 
We can connect with them by playing in virtual reality. 
Feet on the ruins, looking at other places. 
Illusions and nightmares seemingly under control. 
Meanwhile, something will take over the world or destroy it.

Reality is Never Enough

A collab between Dred Fouglas & Shadow of the Hatman.

Lyrics:

This bitter road is all I’ve known
Pitch black and ever winding
like the spine of some spiteful soul
Here no light can find me
Only nightmares and crushing lows
down this trail of misfortune
Born to spread this grief that fills my lungs,
‘cause grief is my infection

Breathe it in, to me it feels like home
It feels like rain when you’re alone 
A dying friend when you need them most
A violin when it plays sad notes A candle blowing out when you see your loved one’s ghost 

This bitter road will not dead end,
I just pave it further every day
Made from all the things I try to forget
as they burn away my brain

Breathe it in, to me it smells like home
It feels like shame when you atone
A dying dream when you want it most
A bloody hand when you cut too close A glimpse of paradise when you’re trapped on Bitter Road

There is no wind that blows
No pretty trees or stars
And I don’t remember 
where they’ve gone
The darkness pressed against my skin
I’ve lost the will to care
The man that’s standing here is gone, gone, gone
There is no weapon greater than the emotional scar
This bitter road is my cell

Bitter Road

Low vibration sonic fest
Didn’t pass the mushroom test
Shadows bounce around the walls
Panic climbs and darkness falls 
Interplanetary glide 
Silver tube now hide inside
Build a list the smash it down 
Even numbers break the frown

Murky strings sound alive
Drop the speed to seven five 
Frequency can now pulsate and
Has the shape to animate

Counting in reverse from ten
Spin the wheel and start again 
Keeping left around the maze 
Following the lunar blaze 
Silver shards of broken light
Penetrate the edge of night
Let them pass right through the skin
Feel the glory from within

Murky strings sound alive
Drop the speed to seven five 
Frequency can now pulsate and
Has the shape to animate

Concentrate don’t loose the edge
Till they freeze inside the hedge 
Reach inside and flip the hatch 
Turn that twenty second catch 
Run the game back through the air
Wave your banner to declare 
Chosen gems can now be spun 
Sitting neatly all at one

Murky strings sound alive
Drop the speed to seven five 
Frequency can now pulsate and
Has the shape to animate

Pick Up the Stars (Duffield) 23

Take off your makeup
Peel off the grain
Pick up the stars
Pick up the stars

Don’t you stop
Keep on running
(Riding)
Oh don’t you stop
Don’t you stop 
(Keep riding)

Pull the light cord
Push the tab
Hold the rail
Cross the flags

Sing for England
Cornwall too
Drink for everyone
Mostly you

Mark Duffield ~ Jump For Love

this track started with me 'playing' ( a loose term as I'm not a pianist, fiddling might be a better term) on the piano alongside a drum track I'd just programmed. This really nice piano riff came up but I wasn't recording. Fortunately ableton has this thing where it always "listens" so i was able to press a button and it magically brought up what Id just played... phew!
