Wow Mark! There's been some serious evolution in your music my friend! This is fabulous! As for career liars, they're like cockroaches. They survive just about anything, and seem to multiply endlessly! Well done!

Super class collab. Edition and production are sensational

Yeah, this is really good.  I'm there with you, Mark

Very powerful political statement Mark, and great music as always!  Those horns really add a lot of character to the track, and great work on vocals!

This is still so good guys. My alltime favorite Steely Dan Song! :)

Extremely relevant song with a great arrangement and love that sax.

UNSTABLE ENLIGHTENMENT (NOT FOR SPLINTED MINDS)

Once I wrote a description here !!!

Ok let's say I started adding layers to the great music https://soundcloud.com/progrockdan1 sent to me.

Letra (translated lyrics below)

Se arrastró bajo los muros,
llorando.
Se filtró por las ranuras,
buscándome.
Y miró entre las fisuras,
deseando:
mucho claro, nada oscuro,
llamándome…
 
Mas el centinela mágico
de quijadas relucientes,
descarnado por los dientes
de mil y un gusanos cárnicos,
por la acción más degenérica
de venenos de odio y muerte,
este ser, cerebro inerte,
la detuvo, niña histérica…
 
Pero huyó,
vio sentada su promesa de llamarme.
Y escapó,
Vio prendido su deseo de amarme.
Sensación
de saber que era la presa, fuego y carne,
y en la intensa luz de vida vino a hallarme;
y me encontró.
-------------------------------------------
She crawled under the walls,
crying.
She filtered through the grooves,
searching for me.
And she looked inside the fissures,
wishing:
much clarity, no darkness,
calling me…

But the magic sentry
of shining jawbones,
eaten to the bone by the teeth
of thousand and one meat worms,
For the most degenerated action
of poisons of hatred and death,
this being, inert brain,
detained her, hysterical girl …

But she fled,
found assured her promise of calling me.
And she escaped,
found on fire her willing to love me.
Sensation
of knowing that she was the prey, fire and flesh,
and in the intense light of life she came to find me;
and she did.

Ella huyó - She fled (with ProgRockDan1)

STRANGE DARK NIGHT [LIVE] COPYRIGHT 2022:  SCRT RECORDS

Pop The String

Oh shit, fucking bitch
I’m in hell and it’s home sweet home
The devil keeps asking us questions
And the answer is only no
That there is all we know
And we roll up on demons with no remorse
And we know all your women are boring whores
And our women are kicking the shit out of you

And they make all the news
And they make all the news
And they make all the news
And they make all the news

Media, media, everything’s media
Everything from TV to the pv to the city walls
Everything’s critical, the grey got the blues
They’ll make their own choices if they’ve got to choose
And they don’t wanna think of you
And there ain’t no supply that they need from you 
And they love what’s real, what’s them, what true
What sells and spreads and gets all the views

And they make all the news
And they make all the news
And they make all the news
And they make all the news

I’d die for what I believe in
Love life so I call it even
Right now I’m in trouble with it
But time’s gonna bring something new
I’m in love with the range of the view
Retain some of this stuff and change up a few
Break some of this stuff and make something new
The people will be here and say what they’ll too

And we’ll make all the news
And we’ll make all the news
And we’ll make all the news
And we’ll make all the news

And the little kids will play
In the pretty fields we save
And they won’t need to be slaves
When we rest in our graves
Free to make a choice
Free to raise their voice
Free not to answer the devil
Not to hear its noise

Personal Media

Rodolfo Planes offered me this great arrangement and suggested the title of 'Professional Liars' as a starting point. I changed the title to Career Liars as it scanned better with the melody and although we didn’t discuss the subject closely we both had our own ideas who these usual suspects might be. You all may also have your own choices other than these potential ‘Comeback Kids’. 

This was first written in 2022, but has developed gradually over the last two years with Ce Mastro’s spectacular chorus harmony arrangement lifting the song to astonishing new heights, then lastly Georg’s additional sax work giving a renewed energy and power. Thanks to everyone for their valued collaboration on this. Thanks for taking the time to listen.

 Career Liars by Rodolfo Planes and Mark J Bennett

How are you ever able to live with yourself? 
What do you really care about? 
You can cope just as long as you’re not left on the shelf, 
Hear me out. 

Are you ever conscious of the harm that you do?
 Or is all fair in love and in war?
And there is no depth that you and your crew won’t sink to. 
We’re done for.

Career liars, 
Truth deniers,
Big high flyers,
 Falsifiers.

Making all of your deals with your old cronies,
I think that is all that you’re good for. 
Nothing is ever sincere coz you’re real phoneys.
 Show them the door. 

Lying for a living, as long as we’re forgiving,
 We’ve been truly hood-winked this time for sure.
 We’re learning a lesson about the true cost of living 
Now we’re all poor.

Career liars, 
Truth deniers,
 Big high flyers, 
Falsifiers.

Splinted

Well your request
is invalid
Computer can always say no.
The search is over
As you linger in the afterglow.

World War III has already begun
While you were dancing & had your fun
I had to jump ship
and go with the flow
counted my blessings
Flew straight as a crow

Unusual patterns, 
Coding gone wrong
Your ethics' for sale: 
MFA took too long

Operator is void
your change is rejected
The download on hold &
Your name it is auctioned, 
bartered and sold...

I feel so splinted

What a fantastic decade!

Slowly I awake
Slowly I rise

Your appointment
Has expired,
Computer is still saying no!

A many-splendored thing
of which we need to sing!
A many-splendored thing
of which we need to sing!

I throw myself
Slowly I awake

And So It Goes (Cover)

Pomrčina Mjeseca

The ones in dark corners
I am with you.
I sense your hush.
The ones of smoke and needles and bruises
who found glory
and saw how far a fall it is back down. 
The ones who hang around
when Main Street closes down.

The outcasts, the insane, the altered.
Each with a piece missing.
Invisible scars and otherwise.

A pact, a cult of the underground.
Where each path has it's inverse.
Where each feeling goes obscure.
Smoldering still from the impact of the world.
Cloaked in the darkness of night.
The only time we see what's real.

Intimate Music - Like The Wind

(Don't follow me here, best on my main page ;)

Dear listener, Feel free to leave comments and I'll try to reply.

I've been making music for around 16 years now but because of the wonderfully generous community that is SC, I have learned so much in a short time. I look forward to learning even more by collaborating. 
I suppose my strengths are in lyric-writing and singing. I feel fortunate to have been able to work with some stunning compositions by some very talented SCers.

My very best to you, Mark
