a cool song, I am surprised it hasn't got more "likes"

Intro

Not This (24/02/2022) by Irina

My heart is bleeding, worn and torn
Do not resuscitate
I don’t know where I am from
In a crisis state

Believed in better, trusted lies
At least I had some pride
But now, a war before my eyes
The terror bona fide

Unsure of my identity
What will keep me safe
Culture losing sanctity
Digging its own grave

Hypocrisy and bitter crime
“Civilians won’t be harmed”
Strangled by the darkest time
The Earth – shaken, alarmed

Although I’m not responsible
I’m feeling shame and guilt
I thought it wasn’t possible
But they grabbed the hilt

A slash, another, children scream
Displaced by politicians
God, let this be an awful dream
Inhumane conditions

My heart is bleeding, worn and torn
I cannot bear to witness
Generations not yet born
Never seeing kindness

Endless sanctions, tensions, greed
Fighting one another
Nothing’s ever been agreed
Upon I now discover

Who am I? Afraid to ask
Powerless, that’s what
Distance is no easy task
Cannot stay afloat

A ghost has occupied my place
Emotions go to slumber
Cannot bear to see my face
While fields shall burn to umber

Aggression, a cold-blooded act
But real blood will be spilled
How many people won’t know home
How many will be killed

Historical event, God, no
Don’t want to live through this
My heart is broken, all time low
Not this, not this, not this

When She Dances
V1:

She gyrates 
A silhouette 
Glides from one space to the next
Her pirouettes 
And arabesques 
Are used to glamorous effect

Ch1:

When she dances
I take a chance
Make smooth advances
How it lifts my mood:
Her tinkling laughter

*****Break*****
V2:
Insistent sound
Of pounding drums
Now growing loud - I'm overcome
She sashays
Shimmies and sways
A look from her, the war was won

Ch2:
When she dances
 I take a chance
Make smooth advances
Puts me in a trance
Puts me in a trance

When she dances

When She Dances

A Song about a prostitute from Asia. 
This song was our first ballad, we wrote it before "From the Other Side" or "Bipolar Disorder".

Hey,
here is my new song "The Lights Will Not Go Out In Darfur". This song is a comment to the very brutal and sad reality in Darfur, Sudan. There are many wars around the world worth talking about, but in my opinion, the genocide in Darfur is very underrepresented in the news and media. So, I wrote this song, trying to raise people's awareness. And if anyone read this song-description and feels the need to inform themselves about the situation, I've succeeded.
Thank you for your time. And if you liked the song, leave a like, comment or a repost. You can also follow me, to never miss a song again. And if you want to, check out my other work.
Any kind of support is appreciated - Thank you! :)

The Lights Will Not Go Out In Darfur (2024 Version)

Lyrics:
I Need Your Love So Bad

Need someone's hand 
to lead me through the night
I need someone's arms 
to hold and squeeze me tight
Now, when the night begins,
whoa, I'm at an end
Because I need your love so bad

I need some lips 
to feel next to mine
Need someone to stand up 
and tell me when I'm lyin'
And when the lights are low 
and it's time to go
That's when I need your love so bad

So why don't you give it up, 
and bring it home to me
or write it on a piece of paper, baby 
so it can be read to me
Tell me that you love me 
and stop drivin' me mad
whoa, because I 
I need your love so bad

I need a soft voice 
just to talk to me at night
Don't want you to worry, baby
I know we can make everything alright
Listen to my plea, baby, 
come on bring it to me
'Cause I need your love so bad

Lyrics:
Feel

Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given

I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language
I don't understand

I just want to feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste

I don't want to die
But I ain't keen on living either
Before I fall in love
I'm preparing to leave her
I scare myself to death
That's why I keep on running
Before I've arrived
I can see myself coming

I just want to feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste
And I need to feel real love
And a life ever after
I cannot give it up

I just want to feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
I got too much love
Running through my veins
To go to waste

I just wanna feel real love
In a life ever after
There's a hole in my soul
You can see it in my face
It's a real big place

Come and hold my hand
I want to contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand

I visited PinkPop 2015 festival in Landgraaf a few weeks ago.
At this great festival I saw two lovers (they were old and grey) lying in the grass
and enjoying Jonathan Jeremiah (which I was enjoying too).. Their 
'living their dreams' at this age was really touching to me, so I decided 
to use my impressions observing those two to write and compose 'Dreams'. 

Lyrics:

Dreams

V1
Her face lit up when he smiled
And when his eyebrows told her stories
Her polished nails made him giggle
When she stoke her fingers through his hair

PC 
'You are all my dreams'

C
 They were too colourful to be grey 
 But they made their inner lovers play
 An endless golden ballad to each other
 They were living and breathing, didn't bother 
 Chasing their dreams

V2
They still walked hand in hand together
Reached their heart's next destiny 
She couldn't wear heels anymore
So he sweat to keep up to (her) speed

PC
'We're living our dreams'
'We're living our dreams'

C

Br
Life can be what you want it to be
No matter how hard they tell you it's not
It's your reality you're living in
And only you can decide to live your dreams

'We're chasing our dreams'
'We're chasing our dreams'

Even in Russian this title can be interpreted differently, to say nothing of the English translation. But this is what we like - freedom of imagination :) Hope you enjoy the song.

От твоего взгляда веет холодом
Осталась я одна с простывшим городом
Век живи и век учись
Тупость требуют на бис
Но ведь мне было так приятно верить

Снова ты и снова кризис
Как страдает мой душевный бизнес
Сердце просит выходной
Возвращается домой
Тихо замедляю темп
Не танцую я контемп
За собой дверь затворю
Ухожу пока тебя люблю

Пропущу звонки и сообщения
Как же я устала от общения
Пожар бушует в голове
Сжигаю мысли о тебе
А ведь мне было так приятно верить

Снова ты и снова кризис
Как страдает мой душевный бизнес
Сердце просит выходной
Возвращается домой
Тихо замедляю темп
Не танцую я контемп
За собой дверь затворю
Ухожу пока тебя люблю

Интересней пообщаться со стеной
Чем пустые темы обсуждать с тобой
Оставляя политес
Ликвидирую абсцесс
Надоело придумывать happy end-ы

Снова ты и снова кризис
Как страдает мой душевный бизнес
Сердце просит выходной
Возвращается домой
Тихо замедляю темп
Не танцую я контемп
За собой дверь затворю
Ухожу пока тебя люблю

--------------------------------

I feel the coldness of your glance
Left alone with the cold city
The longer you live the more you know
Stupidity is being called for an encore
But it was such a pleasure to believe

You again - a crisis again
Oh, how the business of my soul suffers
The heart is asking for a holiday
It is coming back home
Quietly I slow down the tempo
I do not dance contemporary
Will close the door behind me
I am leaving while still loving you

I will miss calls and messages
How tired I am of communication
Fire roaring in my head
I am burning the thoughts of you
I took so much pleasure from believing

You again - a crisis again
Oh, how the business of my soul suffers
The heart is asking for a holiday
It is coming back home
Quietly I slow down the tempo
I do not dance contemporary
Will close the door behind me
I am leaving while still loving you

It is more interesting to talk to a wall
Than to discuss empty topics with you
Leaving politesse behind
I remove the abscess
Tired of making up happy endings

You again - a crisis again
Oh, how the business of my soul suffers
The heart is asking for a holiday
It is coming back home
Quietly I slow down the tempo
I do not dance contemporary
Will close the door behind me
I am leaving while still loving you

Душевный бизнес (Soul Business)

Creating/playing/composing/arranging music has been my passion since I was born ;-) I love singing (in harmonies as well), play a bit on the guitar, drum a little and play some keys. I've been active in the local (dutch) pop/rock cover scene in bands as a lead singer and rhythm-guitar player. Now I record my work (and covers) on my attic studio at home.

I'd appreciate when you let me know what you think/feel when listening to my tracks. Your feedback can help me to improve; and that, hopefully will please you as music lovers! Of course, I especially love to hear what you 'liked' about my songs, because that gives me pointers about what 'works' for you and helps me to move forward in the development of my own style ;-) .  But don't be shy and provide me with things that don't work for you as well, for the exact same reason :-)

If you listened to my work/left comments or feedback/reposted my tracks: thank you!  And I'll be happy to visit your work as well and leave a like, repost and comment.

Cheerz, Love and Peace, 
Mar T.
