Snow Balls of Gratitude: Thanks for all your playlists and comments on Weather Report Pt. 2

How we feel
Isn’t wrong
When we don’t take time to judge it
How it’s been
All along
We can see it in each other’s eyes.
But it’s real,
We belong
Maybe see things slightly different.
Been revealed,
We are strong
And never plan to go away.

Welcome to
Where you are
We’re so glad that you could make it!
How do you do?
Was it far?
Next time, we’ll help you find your way.
Who are YOU?
You’re the stars,
And the light that shines forever -
Coming to
From afar
To bathe us all in your warm glow.

Originally written and recorded in 2011, a few months ago 3D decided that the song wasn't done justice and re-recorded everything from the guitar up. When he finished recording all of the tracks he sent them over to me for a twiddle, most enjoyable - cheers 3D

Lyrics: 

Pt.1
It’s raining out in Portland
And down in Durban too
I play no more the frontman
I’m better off serving you
O let the water wash me clean
I’ll do anything for you my queen

Went up to Mystic Mountain
Picked berries from the bush
So many I couldn’t count them 
Each one unveiled a truth
O let the water wash me clean
You’re the face that makes good everything

What rained upon the prophets
Same rain that drench me now
The old mantle I’ve not lost it
It’s on me like a vow
O let the water wash me clean
you’re the vision of a million magic dreams

Well there’s music in the alley
And sweet smoke in the air
No need for tinpot rallies
It’s safer here than there
O let the water wash me clean
You’re the sweetest note in every song I sing

It’s raining out in Portland
And down in Durban too
If I was the doorman
You would walk straight through
O let the water wash me clean
I’ll do anything for you my queen

Pt. 2
It’s raining out
In Durban now in Portland 
Didn’t feel a drop
Now is coming down in mountains
It’s raining out
In Durban down in Portland
The devil heard 
Your praises now it’s pouring 
Oh Lord
The shelters been removed 
Oh Lord 
Will you see me through

Followed in your footsteps 
On the righteous path I stay
I followed in your footsteps 
steadfast I do not stray
Followed in your footsteps 
On the righteous path I stay
Faithful are the flock
The week spirited don’t obey 
Here me now
Accused of serving for your protection
Here me now  
and then you take it all away in objection
Here me now 
The shelters been removed 
Oh Lord 
Will you see me through

I know my redeemer liveth 
Dem take away and then dem giveth 
Lo! how dem adversity afflicteth 
Thou art most merciful of all and forgiveth 
Naked from the mother's womb
Naked shall I return there
Naked from the mother's womb
Faithful without demand I shall return there
Oh Lord
The shelters been removed 
Oh Lord 
Will you see me through

It’s raining out
In Durban now in Portland 
Didn’t feel a drop
Now is coming down in mountains
It’s raining out
In Durban down in Portland
The devil heard 
Your praises now it’s pouring 
Oh Lord
The shelters been removed 
Oh Lord 
Will you see me through

Followed in your footsteps 
On the righteous path I stay
I followed in your footsteps 
Even though you took it all away
The devil covered up your tracks
Tempting to lead me astray 
Him covered up your tracks
But faith guides me back onto your way
Here me now
Dem attempting to tempt me to corruption
Here me now
Dem attempting to tempt me with deception
Here me now
Behold, the will of the Lord, that is wisdom
And to depart from evil is understanding
Oh Lord
The shelters been removed 
Oh Lord 
Will you see me through

Pt. 3
Babylon done a gonna flood now
Flooding down here in Babylon
Gonna sing jah jah praises
Dem praises gonna carry us home

Letra  /  Lyrics (Adaptation from a poem I wrote around my 15thBD)

SIEMPRE QUE TE VEO  /  WHENEVER I SEE YOU

Pasma al mirar tu serena  /  Astounds looking at your serene
faz y tu largo cabello,  /  face and your long hair,
y observar rostro tan bello,  /  and observe such a beautiful complexion,
más que asombrar, me enajena.  /  more than astonishing, it alienates me.
Cuando en mi oído resuena  /  When in my ear resonates
tu cálida voz, espero  /  your warm voice, I hope
girarme y verte, pues quiero  /  to turn around and see you, because I want
hacerte saber, mi amor  /  to let you know, my love
que te amo, y mi calor  /  that I love you, and my warmth
ofrecerte por entero.  /  offer to you completely.

Siempre que te veo, intento,  /  Whenever I see you, I try,
con mi mirada, expresarte  /  with my gaze, to express to you
que te quiero. Mi sustento  /  that I love you. My livelihood
es tu sonrisa, son tus ojos  /  is your smile, are your eyes
y tu cara de indecisa.  /  and your indecisive grin.
Si te miro, sonriendo,  /  If I look at you, smiling,
si te sigo, pues queriendo  /  if I follow you, as wanting
poseerte, tengo prisa.  /  to possess you, I’m in a hurry.

Quisiera mirarte, grácil,  /  I’d like to look at you, graceful,
bella y extraña cual hada.  /  beautiful and strange like a fairy.
Cual si no pasara nada,  /  As if nothing was happening,
mirarte, pero no es fácil.  /  to look at you, but it’s not easy.
Quisiera hacerlo con casi,  /  I’d like to do it with almost,
casi inhumano ardor,  /  almost inhuman ardour,
y contemplar con fervor  /  and watch with fervour
tus excitantes y sabios  /  your exciting and wise
pasos, y encender tus labios  /  steps, and turn on your lips
con tiernos besos de amor.  /  with tender kisses of love.

Siempre que te veo…  /  Whenever I see you...

Siempre Que Te Veo (with Paco Ray)

I Get Found Out

Chris: Lyrics & melody arrangement/vocals/Brauchli lapslide/audio engineering
Martin: Bass, rhythm, main guitars, shruti, instrumental arrangement & recording.
Another collaboration re-imagining the tradition, with Martin Kirwan…we’ve made this one a free download if you enjoy it. Martin has composed and played the instrumental on layered guitar tracks and shruti, and I've re-arranged the lyrics and vocal melody. As always, I'm blown away by his beautiful playing and imaginative blending of cultural sounds. https://soundcloud.com/tradladsaughrim

This gem can be found in Buntings Ancient Music of Ireland, and the "literal  translation from the original Irish" was undertaken by a Miss Mary Balfour, (there is a slightly different  translation in my 1897 book The Minstrelsy of Ireland). 
The original Irish song was believed to have been collected by an agent of Bunting's associates the McCrackens - a man called Patrick Lynch...who collected over 200 songs from singers around the Mayo area in the early 1800's but this man was never acknowledged in the publication. 
The original tune was believed to have been first published as "Ye Trugh" by Neal in 1724, but Bunting got it from Charles Byrne at a harpist's gathering around the 1790's.

"Arise from thy slumbers, oh fairest of maids!
With me wilt thou wander to Truigha's green shades,
Where sorrel and bright rowan berries abound,
And nuts in rich clusters the branches have crowned.

A bed of fresh ivy to rest thee I'll bring,
The blackbirds and thrushes around us shall sing,
And there with unceasing attachment I'll prove,
How soothing the cares of affection and love.

In my contemporary arrangement I've made the English lyrics flow a bit better.

How do you feel about the rights of others, or about your own?
A mood statement about otherness and uniqueness, sexuality and self-determination.

With great thanks to all involved, may the future be better!

*Milky*
aye aye aye … listen up …

What were you conditioned to believe in?
Is a woman and a man equal are they even?
Love is unconditional then does it need a reason?
If a man loves a man is he a heathen?

If we both love girls have a threesome
bring her cousin, get our freak on
I don’t really care who I put meat on 
you can turn the lights off, baby leave the beat on

I be like …

Love who you wanna love.
fuck who you wanna fuck, suck who you wanna suck.
Love who you wanna love.
Plus you can never love too much

yeah and really though:

See I don’t fuck with the requirements
and I don’t chime in when the choir sings
Hose you down like the firemen
I think the patriarchy needs retirement, so I’m denying them.

• Are you under the rainbow looking up or on a high-horse looking down?

*Malu*
Gay pride wants you to fall, why don't you want that pot of gold. 

*Peter*
You do you I'ma do me
we don't gotta be enemies
jus because we disagree
everyone is entitled to their own opinion
not hurtin anyone continue livin how you livin
be who you are don't hide yoself
if you do then you'll always feel by yoself
I'm not gay but if I was
what other people thought I wouldn't give a fuck
so nothin against anybody that is
it's your choice to live the life you live
live it
people fear what they don't understand
it's double bad if you're a gay Black Man
some men love to see Women kiss
but not 2 men yo that don't make sense
but again people like what they like
but what what you likes not a reason to take yo life

• Are you under the rainbow looking up or on a high-horse looking down?

*Malu*
Misogyny and hate, your mother would be so ashamed. 
Within your lyrics, there beats a second pulse. 
But you don't care as long as you wear gold. 

*Couch*
Looking up not giving up
Sure footing not secure enough 
Thru signaling escape rebuff  
Still limiting by law will snuff

Ya think ya finna stand right up
Until ya bout to loose ya stuff 
Ya medals and your trophy cups
Your devils that a cause stir up

Your chance to be the best in club
Your stance that causes mass erupt
Societal division ta
Keep the power that is stuck  

This ain’t disorderly conduct   
When independence disrupts they don’t give a fuck 
When it comes down to it will I give it up 
Step down from looking down and start looking up

*Malu*
Gay pride wants you to fall, why don't you want that pot of gold. 
Within your lyrics, there beats a second pulse. 
But you don't care as long as you wear gold. 

• Are you under the rainbow looking up?

Under The Rainbow

Under The Rainbow #Fabi|Milky Himself|Malu|Peter Sparker|Couch King

take everything that you thought you knew and throw it all away
that's what you call starting over
it's something you never learn in school
don't even learn from mom
call it the great uncharted truth

the great uncharted truth
might just find you

do you remember when we were kids
down by the old, brick school
fumbling 'round to break some rules
of course, there is another side
and you may find it too
call it the great uncharted truth

love, it can be disappointing
it can be lots of things
you usually know when it is mutual

Michael Weber's Album

the great uncharted truth

Four guitars on a deliciously depressive and sleep deprived winter's day. Neither entirely composed nor completely improvised, it is more a finger painting.

Greetings my SC friends. It’s been over a month since I was last able to offer you new music on my page… and I'm thrilled that this is the piece breaking that break. This time I had the privilege of teaming up with our good friend Tea Are Sea (https://soundcloud.com/tea_are_sea, https://teaaresea.bandcamp.com/). 

Terry and I have been Soundcloud buddies for around 3 years now. While his music has always been highly creative and entertaining to my ears, I’ve really enjoyed watching his style grow more complex and sophisticated over the years. Terry has also expanded his musical adventures into some truly intriguing collaborative directions (one such project is his Land of the ZED series, involving 4 great SC artists: https://soundcloud.com/tea_are_sea/johnny-plays-the-blues). I highly recommend it.

Now for the wonderfully silly title we chose. The innuendo is strong with this one (in fact, we may have reached the legal limit). At the heart of it all, it’s truly just about keeping your center in the face of swirling chaos and noise. But we also couldn’t resist poking a little fun at the dysfunction. 

So we hope you enjoy this strangely spacey and futuristic feeling sonic adventure (we’re picturing a fun facelift to early Flash Gordon). You’ll be happy to know… Atman and his very particular team (a little quantum physics joke there) definitely win the day, and save our planet from the blood sucking parasites. In fact, one might call it a ‘love yourself’ story, filled with grand adventure, intrigue, and those cool old spaceships that sported the 50s car fins… because 0-60 in space is so much easier when your ship is stylishly aerodynamic. We hope you enjoy our first collaborative effort, ‘Atman And The Atomics VS The Poly Ticks’. :)

this track is kind of dedicated to Bill Mead, because it is inpirated (and carried) by some of his (free) drum loops, he calls: earthloops “moss”. I hope I do justice to the drums, any weirdness in rhythm is my responsibility :-) Well, Danmoi and flute is my real time improvisation, each in one go. additionally there's a sparse addition of a drum vst & a bass wobble. Enjoy ! ... and don't hesitate to visite organicdrumloops.com ... I love this page !!! ..... photo by Tuce, on unsplash

Down Where The Sage Winds Blow
Words and Music by Pravinand Maharaj

You took a long drink from the cup of truth
Squeezed fresh from your favourite fruit
Picked ripe in the misty woods
Down where the sage winds blow

People live and people die
You made a point of staying alive
Can’t always see it with the naked eye
All you got to show

Easy smiled the face you met
Who knew what’s beneath the flesh
Laying low behind its breath            
The things you never saw

It’s a rat race out there I hear you say
 A leaky roof for a rainy day
Nothing more could make her stay
You knew she had to go

You can’t freeze ice on a burning flame
You can’t be called by another’s name
Can’t build a wall without a frame
On which to hang the door

Easy smiled the face you met
Who knew what’s beneath the flesh
Laying low behind its breath            
The things you never saw

Night falls and shadows play
Beneath a mocking moon
You can’t help thinking the mark of Cain
Was but a lover’s wound

You took a long drink from the cup of truth
Nocturne birdsongs play like flutes
From the tree of the forbidden root
Down where the sage winds blow

Where the boughs of promise stood
Down where the sage winds blow

Down Where The Sage Winds Blow
