Intro/Outro: traditional music from Congo Republic. Picture: AI.

Translated lyrics (a funny-epic poem when I was 15):

Cacique manda: “¡Ir a cazar!”  /  Chieftain says, "Go hunting!"
Mondongo Gwanda pronto marchar.  /  Mondongo Gwanda soon leave.
Él ha bebido vino y gazpacho;  /  He has drunk wine and gazpacho;
torre ha subido todo borracho.  /  tower has climbed all inebriated.

Gran cazador, Mondongo corre  /  Great hunter, Mondongo runs
ojo avizor desde la torre.  /  watchful eye from the tower.
Cree haber visto una gacela.  /  He thinks he saw a gazelle.
“No me resisto, voy a cogerla.”  /  "I can’t resist, I’ll catch it."

Lleva su lanza, lleva su flecha,  /  He carries his spear, he carries his arrow,
pronto la alcanza y encima se echa.  /  he soon reaches for it, and jumps over.
Su colocón le trae de cabeza,  /  His drunkenness gets him in trouble,
¡el tío torpón falla la pieza!  /  the clumsy guy fails the prey!

 “¡Jopeng!” Exclama Mondongo, duro,  /  "Dang it!" exclaims Mondongo, tough,
enciende llama porque está oscuro.  /  he lights fire because it’s dark.
 “¡Cagonla!” Grita desesperado.  /  "Bullshit!" he screams desperately.
Ya la monita se le ha pasado.  /  The hangover is over already.

Sobrio, Mondongo no se calló,  /  Sober, Mondongo didn’t shut up,
dijo: “En el Congo soy yo el mejor.”  /  he said: "In the Congo I am the best."
Fue lanza en mano tras el animal,  /  He went spear in hand after the animal,
bajo un manzano fuelo a encontrar.  /  under an apple tree he got to find it.

Comiendo estaba tranquilamente,  /  It was eating calmly,
Gwanda acercábase lentamente.  /  Gwanda approached slowly.
Ya que la vio le tiró fuerte;  /  Once he saw it, speared it hard;
tanto la hirió, le dio la muerte.  /  he hurt it so much, caused its death.

Mondongo salta, vuelve al poblado,  /  Mondongo jumps, returns to the village,
alegre canta: “Ya la he cazado”.  /  happy he sings: "I’ve already hunted it".
Mondongo Gwanda llega a casita.  /  Mondongo Gwanda arrives home.
Cacique aguarda, le felicita.  /  Chieftain awaits, congratulates him.

The picture was *not* taken at the church where those bells live,
somewhere entirely different, but in the same city ; )

recorded with a Zoom H4n, from inside the church's bell tower this time,
in Tiohtià:ke (Montréal), on May 14, 2023, just before mass

This recording is of the same church as the one in the previous one.

Lyrics:
Too many times
Did i sit here and cry
After  the lies
Can we say our goodbyes
Why are you playin
I'm tired of saying
You took it all
When you walked out on me
You're from the city
I'm from the sticks
You were so pretty
But you made love a bitch
Just go 
Take it all with you
Moonlight 
On the morning dew
I'm so sick and tired 
Of messin around
Of mucking it up
Every time that i'm down
I’m so sick and tired 
Of running away
I must be in love
Won’t you just stay

This is the 7th song posted from the album I have been working on using demo tracks given to me by Wou-Wou & the Wormling during the start of the pandemic! I can't believe how fast time has passed and how long we have been working on this project. 4 songs from the album are based on a graphic novel that Wou-Wou had started before the pandemic began. The rest of the songs are reflections of the weird times we were living in.

Big thanks to Wou Wou, Bit-zone, and Stricknice for still being here after all these years. I have known and worked with people on SoundCloud probably longer than I have known high school friends, college friends, and friends from various jobs. Huge thanks to Guitar Wizards of the Future. I remember when I first began participating in the SoundCloud community, I would always eagerly anticipate a new GWOTF track, especially because I grew up in Oakland California. I look forward to hearing a new one someday! In the meantime, go check out the classics on their page!

Lyrics:

Would 
You like to 
Skip work and go to the seaside
Would 
You like to
Go tubing by the riverside

Please say so 
Please say so
Geeze don’t make me wait 
Another day though 
I been x-ing out the dates
Each and every day though 
Cause I just can’t seem 
To let me let you go 

What 
About going 
For a naked bike ride
What 
About going 
To a dispensary and getting high

Please say so 
Please say so
Geeze don’t make me hate 
Another day though 
I been poking at my plate
Each and every day though 
Just staring in the mirror
Watching as my hair grows 

Would
You like to 
Visit a park 2 feet wide
Would 
You like to
Be my voodoo donut bride 

Please say so 
Please say so
Geeze don’t make me wait 
Another day though 
I been x-ing out the dates
Each and every day though 
Cause I just can’t seem 
To let me let you go

Weird Things People Do In Portland

Guitar Wizards of the Future, Wou-Wou, Stricknice, Bitzone & CK - Weird Things People Do In Portland

Rencontre entre deux "moments" pour n'en former qu'un. De l'harmonie et de la dissonance, la musique est un reflet fugace de la vie comme un passage furieux ou apaisé, cette force irrépressible qui renverse, qui bouscule nos merveilleuses existences comme un éternel recommencement.
Merci infiniment à Rosmarino de m'avoir permis d'emprunter un "moment", ce chemin là.

PATERNITY


if you’re going down
down onto the sea
don’t leave without me


boarded up the house
threw away the keys
blown down to my knees


once we lived as a family
splendid circle of three


fifth of bourbon won’t
kill the memories
what you meant to me


memory of a family
partner, kiddo and me:
rocky beach and light house beam
counting rabbits in sunset dream


once we lived as a family
splendid circle of three


if you’re going down
down into the mud
don’t leave without me

Stop Drop and Roll

Stop Drop And Roll

Scotty: bass, guitars, lyrics, vocals

Should I go to bed and get a good sleep
or pop a few caps and freak some funk over beats?
We do it for ourselves to satiate needs.
After all, it's in our blood. With our cuts, hear us bleed.
Close your eyes, feel the groove, hear the words that we speak.
We must, to survive, just as some have to breathe.
Here we are. This is us. You are you. We are we.
So, why must we hide in 'reality'?

What is your 'reality'?
Is it some facade for others to see?
And has this become your identity?
And, if so, with yourself, how the fuck can you sleep?
I have no respect for the words that you speak
or how you could hide behind church or belief.
I know in your mind you're doing 'His' deeds.
But OUR God is NOT a white man full of greed.

So, come check my Reality.
I live with a wife of exquisite beauty
who stimulates my mind with each word that she speaks
and has carried and birthed us lovely children. Three.
We are both professionals and have our degrees
and understand value and living by means.
Yet somehow we struggle to pay mortgage and eat
while those who exploit keep on livin' with ease.

The Mysterious Decibel - My Tower's Falling Down

Lyrics, instrumental, Vocals, Sounds, mix, master, song structure - The Mysterious Decibel

Lyrics:

Don't fucking look at me, My sense of self is crumbling
Why!?
Why!? Did I let it slide?
Lies are etched right in your skin
and everything that dies is mine within

My Tower's falling down!

Deception eats trust for breakfast
and throws it to the bottom of the list

Coming down around me
I'm sick!
I'm sick of this sting
Too damn numb to even feel a thing

An opened world but reduced to the confines of my own hell
There's rubble in front of the door
I cant take it anymore!

My tower's falling down

When it hits the ground, Will you stand here with me?
When it hits the ground, Will you stand here with me?
When it hits the ground!
My tower's falling down!
You can't save me now!
The sirens are too late
My tower's falling down

My tower's falling down!
My tower's falling down!
My tower's falling down!
My tower's falling down!
Down!

My Tower's Falling Down

swoop and slide
in summer skies
the sun high
gliding by

awake in slumber
deadpan rings
spiral thoughts
forgotten things

swoop and slide
skylarks fly
the day lies
gliding by

awake in slumber
deadpan rings
spiral thoughts
forgotten things

spiral under the light
spiral under the sky

Awake In Slumber
