Nada (He pensado en la muerte)

My friend and close collaborator @rplanes offered me this great arrangement and the title and theme that he thought might make an interesting subject matter. Initially, I was scratching my head as the topic seemed too vast but then the ideas started to attach themselves to his melodies and I was hooked. Humans en masse appear to be taking wrong-turnings and making things worse rather than better. This is me letting off a little steam with Rod's help. Thanks for taking the time to listen.

Reverse Entropy (by Rodolfo Planes and Mark J Bennett)
We drift from order to chaos,
Like it’s the norm.
Without a sense of pathos,
To see the storm.
Following your safe instinct,
Where it may go,
Or go where you are told.

We let others cloud our vision,
Like they know best.
What happened to our ambition
Never addressed.
Following your safe instinct,
Where it may go,
Before we get too old

You have the choice,
When you have the will,
And it’s backed with the,
Knowledge, and fulfilled by skill.
 
We fall for the theorists,
Like it’s gospel.
Go find yourself some realists,
Who’re less hostile.
Following your safe instinct,
Where it may go,
While you still have a hold.

We’ve been duped at every turn,
By those we trust.
Without alarm or concern,
Now we are bust.
Following your safe instinct,
Where it may go,
If you can still feel bold.

You have the choice,
When you have the will,
And it’s backed with the,
Knowledge and fulfilled by skill.

All our futures are in your hands
With all that it commands
Focus on how it now all stands
Before making your demands.

Reverse Entropy - Continental Collision (by Rodolfo Planes and Mark J Bennett)

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.

Career Liars - Continental Collision featuring Ce Mastro & Georg Boehme - Now Available on Bandcamp

Mark says,
"Making music with Rodolfo is always exciting and often a challenge, although I know we both find it stimulating, as we always aim to reach high and this post is no exception. This new song, started its gestation almost a year ago, instantly showed a lot of promise and since has been through many stages of exploration and rounds of problem-solving. The painfully blunt lyrics were initially inspired by a friend's brutal relationship break-up, but the final result is much heavier. I hope you find it moving rather than disturbing, I was trying to match the mood of Rod's deeply dramatic music."

Rodolfo says,
"I think it's a fantastic song and you've done an amazing job on both the story and the vocals, especially those tough lines. When I was writing it, I just felt like a modern blues with a techno vibe was taking shape. The final sound was defined by the story and those really dramatic, emotional lyrics. You might want to make it clear that it's a fictional story to avoid giving our friends heart attacks."

We appreciate all of the kind support that the Soundcloud community has given our collaborations. Thanks for listening and sharing your thoughts, Mark and Rodolfo

Moments of stress,
How did you deal with the rest?
All that is left of you and me,
Is wrecked.
How can we expect,
To go on when there’s nothing at all left?
 
…Left in the lurch,
You should have done more research.
I was truly never a safe bet for you…
For you could have made,
A much better match than you did with me.
 
Open your eyes,
I promise you won’t be surprised,
It’s been there before you,
All along, all of the way…
…Way before you had sensed,
That we had got it all so wrong by then.
 
Moments of stress,
All such a mess,
It’s anyone’s guess,
How it all went so wrong?
Moments of stress,
No more nor less,
Need I express,
How it all went so wrong?

Moments Of Stress - Continental Collision (by Rodolfo Planes/Mark J Bennett)

This is new take on a song that Rodolfo and I first worked on 4 years ago. He had always imagined it with fine saxophone and great backing harmonies and now that Continental Collision has a wonderful pool of talent to draw on, that has become a reality, thanks to Ce Mastro and Georg Boehme's beautiful contributions.
The song has been given so much more feeling and emotion.
Thanks to them and Rodolfo for believing that we could succeed  and thanks to all of you for listening.

A Stranger In Your Heart - Continental Collision featuring Ce Mastro & Georg Boehme

I don't know what I've done wrong?
I don't know why you have gone?
Though I hope some day,
When I whisper your name,
We'll be together.
But today's too soon.
When I think of you, I dream.
Yet still, I'm a stranger,
Yet still, I'm a stranger in your heart.

Sometimes I feel like a fool.
Never knowing whether you'll,
Give me hope some day,
Still I call your name.
We'll be together.
Is today too soon?
When I think of you, I dream.
No longer a stranger,
No longer a stranger in your heart.

A Stranger In Your Heart - Continental Collision (featuring Ce Mastro and Georg Boehme)

Mark says - 
In the 5 years I have been working with Rod, I have been encouraged to reach as far as my experience allows me to, with complete support at all times. So far we have completed 11 songs and have experimented with several others that made for a great learning curve for me, with several more at other stages of development... Watch this space, however as we are methodical and patient, therefore it may take some time to get them off the ground.

The subject matter of this song may be based on a different scenario but it is also a token of my gratitude to my inspirational collaborator and friend Rod, who has given me much confidence to rise to the ambition of his musical creativity and meticulous arrangements. Thank you all for giving this song your time.

Rod says - 
This song was conceived a long time ago to be sung in Spanish, but Mark did a magnificent adaptation with his English lyrics, and the meaning is 100% faithful to the original spirit, even though he hadn't heard the original song in Spanish. Technically, there are three voices together, consolidating a multi-vocal performance. The synth sounds emulate my old analog and FM synths, and the guitars were routed through an old console to achieve the vintage sound I was looking for.

Thank You (Rodolfo Planes/Mark J Bennett)

I would like to tell you just how grateful I am,
And also how important you’ve been here in my life.
I know I don’t need to draw you a diagram,
Thank you for being there all this time as my wife.
I have to tell you just how good you’ve been for me,
And I hope that I have also been there for you,
When you needed me through all this trouble and strife.
 
No need to show me all of your gratitude,
I already know how much you show that you care,
When you were prepared to move to my latitude,
Then I was convinced I was ready to share,
My life with you whatever it threw at the both of us.
I know that it’s true, no matter what you care to say.
I’ll always need to express all of my thanks to you 
This will always be true on that I swear.
 
I would like to tell you just how grateful I am,
And also how important you’ve been in, in my life.
I have to tell you just how good you’ve been for me,
And I hope that I have also been there for you,
When you needed me through all this trouble and strife.
Then I was sure that I was ready to share,
My whole life with you, whatever that meant for the both of us.
I know that it’s true, whatever you say.

Being originally a very short & simple song I wrote about a traumatic event (translated lyrics below), I have been working separately on verses and refrain, then trying new ways to combine and glue them.

So, aware of changing moods along, most with tambourine in hands ;)

Mi albornoz ha desaparecido.  /  My bathrobe has disappeared.

Después de lo que hemos vivido,  /  After all that we lived,

Letra  / Translated lyrics (inspired by Aldous Huxley's novel 'Island')

EL PÁJARO MINAH  /  THE MINAH BIRD

Me desperté  /  I woke up
de un sueño equivocado,  /  from a wrong dream,
tumbado entre palmeras,  /  lying among palm trees,
no estoy perdido ni encontrado.  /  I’m neither lost nor found.

Me siento bien,  /  I feel alright,
el sol me ha iluminado,  /  the sun has illuminated me,
la vida se estremece  /  life is shaking
y el egoísmo se ha agotado.  /  and selfishness is exhausted.

Pero cómo no lo pude ver?  /  But how couldn’t I see it?
No tenemos que ir ni que volver.  /  We don’t either have to go or come back.
Hay que sentirlo para creer  /  One must feel it to believe
que vivimos muy cerca del Edén.  /  that we live very near of Eden.

Es esto real?  /  Is this real?
Atrás quedan las ruinas de la ciudad.  /  Behind are left the ruins of the city.
No pierdas tu tiempo,  /  Don’t waste your time,
no sufras más.  /  don’t suffer anymore.

Cuando el ave abra sus alas  /  When the bird opens its wings
y el día se convierta en oscuridad,  /  and the day becomes darkness,
escucha su cantar,  /  listen to its singing,
deja de pensar y vive.  /  stop thinking and live.

Pero cómo no lo pude ver?  /  But how couldn’t I see it?
No tenemos que ir ni que volver.  /  We don’t either have to go or come back.
Hay que sentirlo para creer  /  One must feel it to believe
que vivimos muy cerca del Edén.  /  that we live very near of Eden.

El ritual del Mosha,  /  The ritual of Mosha,
luz del amor al alba,  /  light of love at dawn,
la plenitud del alma,  /  the fullness of the soul,
el privilegio de la vida  /  the privilege of life
como canta el Pájaro Minah  /  as the Minah Bird sings.

Una procesión de focos avanza,  /  A procession of lights goes onward,
rugir de tanques, ruido de armas.  /  tanks roar, noise of guns.
Un grito llama a la venganza  /  A shout claims for revenge
cuando un soldado dispara al Pájaro Minah.  /  when a soldier shoots the Minah Bird.

Tanques y tropas arrasan la ciudad.  /  Tanks and troops raze the city.
La estupidez humana es el arma más letal.  /  Human stupidity is the most lethal weapon.
Cien años de historia  /  A hundred years of history
en una noche ven su final.  /  in one night watch their end.

Cuando el ave cae al suelo  /  When the bird falls to the ground
y su sangre se convierte en hielo,  /  and its blood turns to ice,
y se apaga su cantar…  /  and its singing fades…
Jamás aprenderás si no quieres escuchar.  /  You’ll never learn if you don’t want to listen.

Pero cómo no lo pueden ver?  /  But how can’t they see it?
Hemos sido bendecidos al nacer.  /  We have been blessed at birth.
Hay que sentirlo para creer  /  One must feel it to believe
que la vida es sueño.  /  that life is dream.

Y no quiero despertar   /  And I don’t want to wake up
de este sueño equivocado.  /  from this wrong dream.
Me siento bien…  /  I feel alright …
Me siento bien…  /  I feel alright …

Paco Ray: El Pájaro Minah (ft. David Sinvergüenza & E-Ruizzo)

2nd quarter of the album and titled for Ellesmere Island (see my map), it describes the hard final stage of the expedition to the 'Arctica Point', and first effects felt when getting closer, for example odd rhythms ;)

Translated lyrics explain it with more detail, again:

ELLESMERE (AVANZANDO EN EL HIELO)  /  ELLESMERE (MOVING FORWARD ON THE POLAR ICE)

Avanzando en el hielo polar,  /  Moving forward on the polar ice,
mi trineo se desliza hacia ese lugar…  /  my sleigh slides towards that place…
… aunque mi brújula loca está  /  … although my compass is crazy
desde más de cien kilómetros atrás.  /  from more than a hundred kilometers behind.

El sol me guiará,  /  The sun will guide me,
mi corazón me guiará.  /  my heart will guide me.
La aurora boreal me guiará.  /  Aurora borealis will guide me.

Los vientos polares me llevarán,  /  The polar winds will carry me,
los terribles vientos polares me empujarán.  /  the terrible polar winds will push me.
No tiene pérdida el lugar  /  There’s no missing to the place
donde se producen todas las singularidades físicas.  /  where all physical singularities happen.

Avanzando en el hielo polar,  /  Moving forward on the polar ice,
mi trineo se guía solo hacia ese lugar  /  my sleigh guides itself towards that place
y aunque mis perros no lo saben,  /  and though my dogs don’t know it,
esta brújula no cesa de girar.  /  this compass doesn’t stop spinning.

Voy cada vez más deprisa  /  I go faster and faster
arrastrado por mis perros,  /  dragged by my dogs,
acelero, voy cayendo…  /  I accelerate, I’m falling…

Cerca del Punto Ártica  /  Close to the Arctica Point
el tiempo empieza a correr.  /  time starts to run.
Cerca del Punto Ártica  /  Close to the Arctica Point
dejo de envejecer, ¡dejo de envejecer!  /  I stop getting old, I stop getting old!

Written by Terry Reeves

Watching my brother Bri living out the last few months of his life was probably the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to do.  We had been told that there was no cure for his illness and that, at some point, the inevitable would happen.  But right up until the final few days, he refused to accept this, believing that, somewhere out there, there was some magical remedy he would find to take it all away.  He consulted with so many ‘alternative’ therapists, who all promised their brand of snake oil would deliver him from all that ailed him.  These were always both expensive and totally useless.  

A few weeks before he died, I was sitting by his hospital bed when he actually asked me, “Do You Believe In Magic?”  Knowing what I knew, what possible answer could I give?  Bri already knew the answer too but, all the same, I wished I could have given a convincing and unequivocal ‘yes’.  Difficult though it undoubtedly was, I had to reply that I didn’t but wanting to support him as best I could, told him I believed in him and would always love him 

There is nothing worse than watching someone in their final moments, particularly when they have been such an essential part of your life.  As you get older, facing this scenario becomes unavoidable and though age provides a better understanding of the fact, it never reduces the pain.  Both Gal and I faced similar bedside questions from Bri and this song tries to reflect those onerous, interminable times when one has to be both supportive and honest all at the same time.   

What can you say about Hans that hasn’t already been said?  When I sent him the demo of this song I did wonder if the subject matter may prove difficult.  But his  incredible ability to manifest every emotional nuance in his arrangements is something that always inspires and impresses, as demonstrated so beautifully here.  (Terry Reeves)

Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in changing world?
Do you believe it's tragic?
Do you believe there's more to be told? 

Casting spells with waving hands
Praying thoughts with pagan strands
Making deals with Devil's soul
Sharing fears for spirit parole
No, no

Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in immortal thoughts?
Do you believe in metric?
Do you believe in nine times nought? 

Tribal dancing, releasing curse
Tantric thinking, avoid the worse
Watching stars for future needs
Not drinking tea but reading leaves
No, no

Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in sacrifice? 
Do you believe in panic?
Do you believe in rolling dice?

Chanting mantras one more day
Reiki heat takes pain away
Resurrection not in the plan
Wooden cross protect the man
No, no

Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in searching prayer?
Do you believe in medics?
Do you believe in going nowhere? 

Holding bible in folded arms
Writing words, performing psalms
Chasing shadows, finding light
Avoid the truth, increase the fight
(Repeat verse)

No, no

Do you believe in magic? (Repeat until end)

Do You Believe In Magic? Cripple Club & Hans Albers (please see description)

Until now, the sea has never been together.

If go to the sea...  Two Of Us ...

UZUKI(If We Go To The Sea)

Conquering and ruling cultures often oppress those they dominate. The oppressed, and those with less power, will always eventually seek justice, representation, and equal power from their subjugators. Those whose culture have been vilified, repressed, and appropriated can regain their power and love by learning about their past, choosing and identifying their cultural heroes for themselves, and restoring their appreciation and celebrations for their ancestors.  

May this song encourage an honest look into your past, acknowledging both the shadow and the light, appreciating the beauty of what was and is, and learning from accomplishments and mistakes to continue our evolution in becoming better co-creators with the planet.

I used some of a bass stem Alpha Roots sent me to make Red Earth Clay and I used the rest of the stem to make Sow Your Seeds. I have one unused bass and drum stem from Alpha Roots that I will make an old school hip hop song with and I may remix his original Hosanna bass stem one day to make a new reggae song. I may also ask Russ if I can make a version of Da Weed using Alpha Roots’ stems one day. After that, I may be complete unless I get gifted some Alpha Roots stems to play with. 

Huge thanks to Chiefo who set the original tone of this song which gave me inspiration for  the lyrics. Big ups to Fady, bit zone, and Lady of Fire Poetry for joining in on this project and adding their collective vibe. Massive thanks to Wou-Wou & the Wormling for keeping the track on skank with his rhythm guitar and for providing us with his incredible art work - commission him for some work y’all!!! And massive thanks to Russell and the Chaos Cookhouse for mixing and mastering these stems into the huge dubbed out joint that it is. Hit Russ up for his mixing and mastering services now!!!

Lyrics:

Know your roots and your culture 
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey 
Rock your roots and your culture 
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey 

Get to know your roots and your culture
Who you be now 
Know your history now 
So you can see now 
Where you wanna sow your seeds now 
Where you wanna sow your seeds now
Hey ey ey
Hey ey ey 

Gonna build on that which went before I 
Try and build on that which went before I 
Never knew who I was 
Dem try and control my 
Never knew who I was 
Dem try and control my
 Destiny with suppression and lies 
Deny that my ancestors were wise 
Revise my story with your wicked eyes  so others will despise 
And overlook the great civilizations that my people built 
Likewise likewise likewise

Unaware of history your destined to repeat it 
Only hear deceitful stories and we’re likely to concede to it 
Take away the leaders from our culture to unseat it 
Take away our dreams from our spirit to defeat it 
Replace dem with your poor role models and everyone believes in it 
Replace dem with your hopelessness and everyone perceives it 
But Jah lion shines bright in us and we only need to see it 
Jah lion is shining bright in us and all we need to do is reveal it

I went searching for silence on a noise riddled day,
walked to a wood, on a thicket I lay.
Speckles of blue through canopies of green,
when the tinkling of ivories come calling to me.

There were moments of magic, pulse soaring scores,
 the voice of an angel shook to me to my core.
She said "Don't you just rest there grab your guitar and play,
join me in a melody, forever and a day"

Oh let it flow, make it go, let it flow,
from inside your heart and out through your soul.
Oh let it flow, make it go, let it flow,
sing out, sing out with me.

I went looking for peace and I found it that day,
the rest is my history believe me when I say.
There's been moments of magic, pimple skin scores,
when the voice of the angel askes me back for more.

Oh let it flow, make it go, let it flow,
from inside your heart and out through your soul.
Oh let it flow, make it go, let it flow,
sing out, sing out with me.

Well you came to me, helped me breathe, 
gave me something to believe in,
I found my peace, a brand new lease of life.

Apollo 11 - Paploviante

A couple of months ago, Rodolfo Planes from Tierra del Fuego sent me a wonderful piece of music (in a different key and without lead guitar) that he hoped I’d write lyrics for… 
I was so excited that the first verse popped into my head almost straightaway, and with great patience and honesty, Rodolfo lead me through the learning curve that would be the gestation of this song.
The passionate music somehow stirred in me a sense of longing and belonging, combined with the enforced isolation from loved ones during lockdown. I think Rodolfo’s music helped me express this powerfully.
His solo still continues to move me even after countless listens. I am very grateful to him for this opportunity and I sincerely hope we can work on other projects. 
Thanks for listening and please check out Rodolfo’s cloud if you can.

https://continentalcollision.bandcamp.com/track/set-me-down-that-road

I know where I’m going,
Though I don’t know where I am.
My drive ain’t slowing,
If it’s Birmingham, Alabam.
Gotta get me on the road,
Back to where I’m coming from,
Might not have the zip code,
But I know where I belong. 
I know, I know, I know that I belong.
It might take me some time,
But I’m on my way already.
Set me down that road.

I know what I’m missing,
And where I might find it.
Without even reminiscing,
I’m right back there, I admit.
Close my eyes, and I’m there,
Though in reality,
I’m still stuck in elsewhere,
And I’m the absentee.   
I know, I know, I know that I’ve done wrong.
It might take me some time,
But I’m on my way already.
Set me down that road.

I’ve been uninvited,
Yet I felt compelled to come
A need to be reunited,
Whatever the outcome.
This prodigal believes,
In the error of his ways.
He vows that he’ll never leave,
Where his hat now he lays
I know, I know, I know that I’m back home.
It has taken some time,
But I feel at home already.
I’ve been down that road.

Thank you for your friendship and the way you rock the track Amanda! :) It is such a pleasure to work with you and we are mighty proud that you joined us for this song!

The cover artwork comes from an original idea from the New York Artist Louis Renzoni, who said something like that Para Lia uses the same colors like he does - so the idea of a collaboration was born. Louis artwork runs throughout the album where the artists’ work features more extensively with both featuring in an online virtual music/art exhibition:

follow me, we're on the way
to make more out of today
and when we fail we change course
milestones won't move
but our creeping paths are pretty cool
we're the today's soft option fools
i don't know if it's too late
i don't know how long we'll stay
the idea is to go higher
fly over by my side
with curiosity in mind
we are on the loose
we are the riders on the dike
hand me over my fate
and stay with me along the way
if you come around i am okay
i don't know if it's too late
i don't know how long we'll stay
the idea is to go higher
fly over by my side
with curiosity in mind
we are on the loose
we are the riders on the dike
the riders on the dike

Riders On The Dike (Feat. Amanda Kim Sanderson)

Vincent van Gogh passed away July 29th, 1890,
“Vincent’s Letter” was released July 29th, 2020

I figured there’s no better time than 130 years later…

When I was very young, I had dreams about his paintings. 
 His paintings inspired a deep love in me for art at an early age, and I wanted to be a painter like him

 Music won me over, but I remember being about 10 or so - when I first started playing music a lot - and I promised this self-portrait painting of Van Gogh that I’d write a song (or several) for him that a lot of people would hear.  Yea I made a verbal promise to a painting.  
It wasn’t the first or last time...  I was a weird kid.

The funny thing is?  This isn't even Van Gogh, as I much later found out.  It's "Dr. Gatchet", who was a physician who was treating Van Gogh.  Vincent painted him, and they actually look a lot alike!  But I made the promise to this painting, so here it is
   I hope you enjoy it
_____________________________

Vincent’s Letter
____________________
home, it’s a little loud
a love breaks me down every day
a little more, she comes & slips away
my love hurts me now
a little more every day
love simply breaks me down, 
a little more every day
I’m hearing you crying inside,
 why don’t you look outside and find yourself?
I’m trying every day, a little more in every way

my heart, my hands are sleepy
my foot is stomping on the paint
a little love, colors break my heart
a little more every day, 
a little love, comes in breaks my heart
a little more every day
a little love, cousin, breaks my heart
a little more every day

my home, will you break me down?
a little more every day
our love, cousin, breaks me too
a little more every day…
a little home, my!…
crazies out of the sky!
it’s a yellow one!
I’m wondering why?
I got my heart beating still
mixed together with the colors that spill
I got my heart cousin
a little more every day
heavens harps, cousin, come to break me down
a little more every day

Vincent's Letter

Let Wisdom speak:
Never bargain from a position of weakness
Always from a position of strength... 
——We must all embrace our race —-
——We must all embrace our culture—-
——We must all embrace our religious beliefs or lack there of—-
No two individuals were meant to be the same, let’s look at that on a bigger scale. It’s ultimately the differences in the world that helps us evolve as a people. It’s what makes us who we are. Together we are stronger. We are fighting against two common enemies on a global level
Racism and a pandemic “Together we are stronger.”

No contingency in place it’s going down as is 
with this mask on my face as a constant 
reminder of a death threat that linger.
And to this—- racist society——I hold up my middle finger
Cause it incredible to see——at least—incredibly to me
How bigoted and prejudice this society can be
——“Can’t we do better?”——“Where’s the love?”
 
Lyrics
The Summary

Intro:
We are fighting two enemies on a global level—They have both dealt deadly blows
Racism and a pandemic 

The world done turned around ——and changed the game 
Hidden faces so —-familiar ——-We know their names
Who’s gonna live to see ——-what the next day bring—
aim For the stars——— if you miss try again

Perspective sharper than a knife 
So effective—-I’m Evolving every second of my life
What’s the message—-I’m blessed with my family and my wife 
Simple elements——no hesitations —no hype
It my commitment to the world—-by living outright
Still addicted —to the sound of music and a mic
Inspired and driven ——everyday and night
Creativity pushes——into new -insight

blinded——here—-by what we see
Let’s come together —to combat —-these common enemies 
An open mind——- is the sauce—here—-and —the key 
And we don’t need any ——- —negativity
Don’t fall behind stay on course— indulge me
and your actions —-will ultimately set you free
So Be honest to yourself ——-cause—-you should be
——If no one’s looking— is there really—— any bad or good
What really matters—-is that I’m not misunderstood 
We don’t need any haters or jealousy—-
It’s a simple Insights —-if followed ——-will set you free

Bridge!—————-

The new journey —the conflict ——the struggles —-the fight
Stop Embracing —-the new norm where nothing feels right
The new journey —the conflict ——the struggles —-the fight
Let’s Look beyond the darkness ——-cause things ain’t right
The new journey —the conflict ——the struggles —-the fight
Keep trying hard and you’ll ——see the light
 a clear horizon—-the solace the new insight
The new journey —the conflict ——the struggles —-the fight

Choose the battles carefully —cause it’s combat
Keep moving forward—it’s an all out attack
Mission oriented—yeah that’s a fact
The world depends on the outcome—believe in that

The Summary

Written By Johnny Taylor one of my rare cover songs;) I have never experienced the scenario described in the lyrics therefore I can only imagine ..  I do like  the melody and story ..   The original was a slow blues version introduced to  me by a friend ages ago  .. ,  this i did for posting  on SC a few years ago maybe (2016)..Credits / production  /instruments / vocal arrangement/performance was  done  by me  (like  most of my other  tracks )lots of fun  😉 …Thanks!!

Here are the lyrics  below I  rarely read lyrics but some folk do ,I had the time to type em atm , I abide by "lock down " I am not a mask-less roaming outdoor hero ,I got extra time  ;)...


 Lyrics : Everything’s is out in the open there is nothing left to hide. 
I thought we had a garden of Eden and we did before he became along.
Until  the fruits in the midst of his garden became the fruits that turned you on..  Before God we were joined together before a judge we were taken apart.. 
Before he delivered the papers you and him had made  a brand new start .
Chorus :Everything is out in the open there is nothing left to hide all our vows has been broken and I feel the same way inside were ……..
Just like Adam you were my Eve the only girl in the world for me 
And just like that old story once again I was  deceived …
  Chorus :Everything is out in the open there is nothing left to hide all our vows has been broken and I feel the same way inside were ……..

Post-Love

EASIER THAN LOVE         

2020 Janine Levinson 

There are simpler things In life than love
Like a blue sky calling when you're waking up
Or a flower when it opens from a bud 
Easier and prettier than love

It's simpler to enjoy a walk outside
Or taste a piece of fruit that sweet and ripe
But try explaining why we stay to fight
There's something here that just won't be denied

It's love making us irrational
It's love turns us into criminals
It's love that makes us act like animals
It's love.  it's indefensible.

There are smarter things for hearts to do than love
Like keeping time and pumping us with blood
If we dare to let our hearts dip into feeling 
As quicksand, we are pulled into the mud

It's love making things impossible
It's love and sometimes it feels terrible
But only love can make us feel so wonderful
It's love, and it's unbearable

It's not the same for everyone
It's one day pain and one day fun
But its been the same since time began
A paradox we're driven to
It's like a counterclockwise screw
We fall in love and it can't be undone, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

There are simpler things In life than love
Like a clear day, blue sky hovering above
Or a flower when it opens from a bud ....
Prettier and easier than love

Easier Than Love

This is a song I wrote while being inspired by working with Janine https://soundcloud.com/janinelevinson . I was trying to write songs with her vocals in mind, but she always created such nuanced harmonies that often went well beyond my expectations. This is a song I wrote about being stuck at home, and that I shouldn't forget or take for granted its meaning and value. I love writing songs about defining "home", because the perception of it seems to always be in flux. My perception of home was quite different growing up than it is now. Lastly, a home is place everyone deserves. If you have the inclination, I would love to hear what are some of your favorite songs about the meaning of home if you comment of this song. Again, please admire Janine's fine work on this tune.

Lyrics:
Waiting on a train
Won’t go anywhere until I’m home

Mother was alive
Wouldn’t go anywhere until I was home

Brother won’t you sleep 
Sleep so soundly 
When you’re home

Father always said
The bed’s always better when you sleep at home

I know the Way
I know the Way
 To get back home

In the rain
And Through the snow
When in pain
And you can’t seem to grow

Down that road
A whisper in the wind
You’re not as bad
Or a failure where you been
Love is all we got
But sometimes it’s all it takes
Even when you have the shakes. 

In the rain
And Through the snow
When in pain
And you can’t seem to grow

I know the Way
I know the Way
To get back home

Waiting on a train
Won’t go anywhere until I’m home

Mother was alive
Wouldn’t go anywhere until I was home

Brother won’t you sleep 
Sleep so soundly 
When you’re home

Father always said
The bed’s always better when you sleep at home

In the rain
And Through the snow
When in pain
And you can’t seem to grow
In the rain

I know the Way
I know the Way
To get back home

Last Train Home (with Janine Levinson)

I hope that you enjoy this simple groove.

I deeply recognize the disparity in ways natural and human disasters affect different groups of people and the need for greater equality of care. I also recognize that I live with many privileges that others do not have. And with these recognitions, I still believe there is space for us all to have a gratitude practice while passionately endeavoring for positive change.  

I am grateful for all the accumulated creativity and work of our ancestors that lead to the eventual creation of the internet and SoundCloud which has enabled us to remain artistically connected during this period of increased physical isolation. 

May everyone’s seeds be fruitful and multiply.

Lyrics:

We thank this seed with its potency
To bring forth fruits so copiously
With opened hearts and festivity  
4 20 days of ceremony 
 
You listen
Oh, you listen
We’re thankful that 
You listen

You listen
Yea, you listen
In the morning dew
You glisten

We honor you with crimsoned desire
Following Nanahuatl who jumped in the fire
May your sacrifices continue to inspire
And bring forth gratitude until we expire 

The days are long and the weather is hot
We call on the rains to weather our crops
Bless the labor of men and divined thought 
Honored to sacrifice for all that we got 

We thank this seed with it’s potency
To bring forth fruits so copiously
With opened hearts and festivity  
4 20 days of ceremony 
 
We be handing out the alms for the love of Xipe Totec
Got the gods in the house garlands all around their necks
Sitting on sheaves, leaves of tzapote 
Honoring renewal of life and all that is holy 
Flayed in the way maize loses layers 
With hope of vegetation we given up the prayers
Flayed in the way maize loses layers 
With hope of vegetation we given up the prayers

I have reworked this old classic from Cecilia and myself and as always when you rework something it is getting very different from the original.
If you feel at the end that you hear George Zamfir - it´s not him, it´s all guitar :-)

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

When I was in 10th grade I asked my Belgian Spanish Teacher (Ms. Van Stichel) why the Spanish word “esperar” was used for both waiting and hoping. Maybe a sophomoric question (excuse the pun), but her answer has stuck with me through the years. She said “to wait is to hope”, and how right she was. 

I HOPE

I hope there’ll be a new beginning
I hope to tell right from wrong
I hope you get what you want
I wait, and I hope

I hope all manner of sins will be forgiven
I hope, I hope for my better angels
I hope, I hope for a wide open door
I hope, I hope you feel the same way
I hope we’ve got a lot left to live
I hope I’ve got a lot left to give

I hope you get what you want
I wait, and I hope

I hope to make a change for the better
I hope, I hope there is another way
I hope we can see it all clearly
I hope, I can open up inside
I hope we can find the time
I hope we can find a rhyme

I hope there’ll be a new beginning
I hope to tell right from wrong
I hope you get what you want
I wait, and I hope

I Hope

Let the sunshine shine like before 
Before the rain came calling at our door

Me myself and I 
Only we know how we feel 
Me myself and I 
Were so surreal 
Me myself and I 
Only we see what we see 
Me myself and I 
Only me

Don't you wake me tomorrow 
Don't you wake me today 
Let me sleep off this sorrow 
Make the world go away
Let the sunshine shine like before 
Before the rain came calling at our door

Me myself and I 
Only we know how we feel 
Me myself and I 
Were so surreal 
Me myself and I 
Only we see what we see
 Me myself and I 
Only me

Let me tell you a secret
 Let me tell you a lie 
Here's my love you can keep it
 If you think we should try
Let the sunshine shine like before
Let the sun shine
 Before the rain came calling at our door
Let the sun shine in

Me myself and I 
Only we know how we feel
 Me myself I 
Were so surreal 
Me myself and I 
Only we see what we see
 Me myself and I 
Let it Be

Open the window and let the sun shine in ; )

For the 31st Solar Kama Sutra song I decided to challenge myself a bit and do something in 7/4 time.  I tried remembering a band I heard do that and thought, "Isn't Pink Floyd's "Money" in 7/4 time?"  I remembered hearing it and thinking it was...

...  Turns out it is!  So for that reason I thought of Pink Floyd, and tried to do a Pink Floydish sound.    It's also a nod to Radiohead's "Pyramid Song".  I tried to capture the same feeling that song gives me, but with Solar Kama Sutra this time. 
(by the way, Solar Kama Sutra has always been just one person.  It's just the name for what I call the music)

Since Radiohead already used "Pyramid" which is well-known since ancient Egypt to be the coolest shape, I had to go with something else.  "Sphere Song" and "Cube Song" ?...  Well...  Those song titles just aren't gonna work....   Maybe "Dodecahedron Song"?....  Hmm... That actually sounds pretty catchy...  Feel free to use it!  

 My vocals are used more heavily on this track than it seems.  Throughout the track I tried to make my vocals sound like guitars and other instruments

  And definitely hats off to Pink Floyd for making a hit song in a 7/4 time signature.   How many times has that been done before?!

And of course, hats off to Stonehenge.  The ultimate inspiration for this track

lastly, much respect & love for all of you who have dropped by once again

- John

Lyrics

Verse 1
I don’t see a way you could find it here….

refrain
You got the sunlight on your skin
You’re looking for a win
Nothing heals your sin
Babe it’s time to go
Babe it’s time to go
You know it’s time to go
Again

Verse 2
See the rain
on the window
Crashing down again
Three miles from where we began…

refrain
You got the sunlight on your skin
You’re looking for a win
Nothing heals your sin

Babe it’s time to go
Babe it’s time to go
You know it’s time to go
Again

Verse 3
Well the rain keeps falling down
Nothing left to see in this old town
So much sin bringing us to the ground……

Refrain
You got the sunlight on your skin
You’re looking for a win
Nothing heals your sin

Babe it’s time to go
Babe it’s time to go
You know it’s time to go
Again

Outro
I see the sunlight now
I see the sunlight now
I feel the sunlight on my skin

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Well I Know
Well I know
I feel the sunlight on my skin
Well I know
There’s something happening here

Sunlight for your sins

It's been way too long that Carlos and I worked on a project together. Always a distinct honor to create music with such a talented musician.

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
