Paco https://soundcloud.com/sonido-reflexivo shared these beautiful and evocative melodies with me and I couldn't help but want to collaborate with him again. He is most generous and encouraging, and his music is full of structure, energy and emotion. Thanks for this great opportunity Paco and thank you for listening. I'd like to dedicate this to David, Emily and Steven.

Whatever it is you want from life,
You better be ready to go and get it.
For time always flies,
No matter how much you think is left.

Make sure that you don’t take a moment for granted,
Coz you only get this chance to shine.
When you’ve got something more to give than you take,
Only then have you truly found the reason to live. 
  
Time flies, oh how time flies 
How time always flies,

Whatever it is you want from life,
You better be ready to go and get it.
For time always flies,
No matter how much you think is left.

Time flies, oh how time flies 
Time flies, oh how time flies 
Time flies, oh how time flies 
 
Whatever it is you want from life,
You better be ready to go and get it.
For time always flies,
No matter how much you think is left.

Time Flies (Midisound & Mark J Bennett)

Lost Son 

So how could I know
The things you didn’t tell me were making you 
so unbelievably lonely and sad 

So why couldn’t you show me
the thoughts you kept inside 
your fortress of gold held by a legion of wardens


My son, my son, where did you go?
I miss you more than you could ever know
I pray for your safety every day
Hoping you'll find your way back to me someday


So I should have known
The path you had to choose was the one of your own 
be guided by angels on all your ways


My son, my son, where did you go?
I miss you more than you could ever know
I pray for your safety every day
Hoping you'll find your way back to me someday

Stranger

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went
From anywhere close to somewhere
And then back to anywhere again

Well I could tell a thousand tales
Well i could tell a thousand lies

I could tell a thousand dreams
That might not be true
Could formulate a thousand lines
You won’t believe that they’re true

Well, I could tell…
I could run a hundred thousand miles and more…

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went
From anywhere close to somewhere
And then back to anywhere again…

- solo -

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went
From anywhere close to somewhere
And then back to anywhere again

One thing asking myself,
Has it been true ?
Did i really run a thousand miles
Just to get hold of you ?
One thing that i must ask again
Has that been true ?
Did i really run a thousand miles
Just to get hold of you ?

Well, i could tell…
Well, i could tell…

Did i really run a thousand miles
Just to get hold of you ?
Did i really write a thousand lines
Then to get rid of you ?
I could run a hundred thousand miles
Well, i could run a hundred thousand miles and more
With a stone in my shoe…

Stranger (wt xian3, raw edit)

Last track from Mediterrâneo, a somewhat happy ending.

E estranho vir festejar já quantas vezes demos a volta ao Sol,
porque afinal o Sol não é coisa parada.
Orbita a galáxia, e segue essa estrada de estrelas no céu
que nos encantam enquanto brilham na imensidão.
E todos os filhos que juntámos neste dia
de onde vieram, para onde vão?
E as velas felizes, que num sopro se extinguiram,
cantam nossa gratidão.

Aniversario

there's a lot of people, who wanna get you down.
don't wanna see you smile, just wanna see you frown.
make you look real bad, give you all the blames.
they get all their joy, from twisted mind games.
their vibes are really bitter, their minds are really dark.
never trust a traitor and never trust a narc. 

Never trust a narc.  (narcissist)

A spark unfolds in the quiet night  
Silent currents, hidden light  
Echoes rising through the dark  
A gamma wave, a shining mark  

It’s the end, it’s the start  
Shockwave shaking fragile hearts  
 
Burst, burst — gamma burst  
Cracking open all the universe  
Let it flow, let it stay  
Ride the rhythm night and day  
Burst, burst — gamma burst  
Echo loud across the earth  

Colors bend in violet streams  
Atoms falling into dreams  
Radiate, illuminate the skies  
Cosmic roar, no compromise  
 
It’s the end, it’s the start  
Shockwave shaking fragile hearts  

Burst, burst — gamma burst  
Cracking open all the universe  
Let it flow, let it stay  
Ride the rhythm night and day  
Burst, burst — gamma burst  
Echo loud across the earth  

Shadows scatter, stars collide  
Time is folding, open wide  
Every signal, every sound  
Gamma rising all around  
  
Burst, burst — gamma burst  
Cracking open all the universe  
Let it flow, let it stay  
Ride the rhythm night and day  
Burst, burst — gamma burst  
Echo loud across the earth  

Silent night, the spark remains  
Through the pulse, nothing’s the same

Jätteseg Trance Vinyl Mixtape 12 April 2017

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
