Beautiful-  a great song -  fine vocals -- so enjoyed !!!

Wonderful vocals Matt and Mella! Beautiful keys!

Great cover guys, such a hard song to do and you smashed it out of the park.

Very strong performance and collab! Nice production all around. Durge

Such a simple honest clean version of this. Great voice lady.

"Got up this AM.  After 96° heat yesterday, at first light, it must have been 70° and it was pouring.  Perfectly framed, in the only part of the sky I could possibly see on my way into the kitchen in the house, was an impossibly enormous, vibrant rainbow.  It nearly ate up the whole sky.  I swallowed hard and went back for my phone so I could get a picture.  Oatmeal, aplles and walnuts.  Then, back to the studio.  It's apart from the house; a studio apartment.  There was a notification.  It's going to be one of those days."

*A video diary entry from my YouTube experiment.  I wasn't very good about regular entries.  Sometime, one time, a time, a few years back, it had been a grueling summer.  Sweltering heat.  Humidity.  Climate.  Politics.  All bad news.  News getting olds.  Family.  Wife.  Children, now adults.  Mental health.  Deep-rest.

I had seen a video on one of those poetry slam channels.  It ripped my heart right out.  There was another upload from the same artist.  It was going to be one of "those days."

A semi-serious, ironic and auto-ironic piece about regrets, thinking that often they become the same of monsters in our mind.
In the final, the subway sounds were recorded personally on the subway of Milan (curiously  the speaker announcing the stop "Duomo, fermata Duomo" is audible too) and it simbolized that they (monsters and regrets) don't course us only at nighttime but they are always with us.

With the precious collaboration of my friend Rosalie, helping me to correct the translation.

MONSTERS AND REGRETS

Why are you not sleeping now, what woke you this time,
what threw you into the place you were dreaming not to be ?
Jugglers are playng their dirty and subtle game,
the house as usual wins, only cards to discard for you

You know us so very well, we're monsters and regrets
and you know you can be sure we're not to let you rest

Every night you get eaten inside
We are monsters, we are regrets,
writing your story with our favourite ink,
made of tears and tears and tears

Sub-limit-nails
sublime your scares

You were convinced you turned over the page
but the paper's gossamer
our figures drawn are so intense
You can't help feeding us
thinking you can find your peace
if only you could understand

Hope for the silly, silly for hope

Every night you get eaten inside
we are monsters, we are regrets
marching creeping up to your side,
biting your soul and beating your mind

Memories fade away but pain always lurks in the dark
you never know when it will strike your throat, no defence
you will stop breathing for a while,
just for while
but your heart will not stop beating
'couse all you can do is just keep living
just keep living
just keep living

Memories fade away but pain always lurks in the dark
you never know when it will strike your throat, no defence

We are monsters, we are regrets
we are monsters, we are regrets

You know us so very well, we are not to let you rest
we're monstrers and regrets, we'll never let you rest



Every night you get eaten inside
we are monsters, we are regrets
marching creeping up to your side,
biting your soul and beating your mind

I love Shinjuku Ward. I felt so lonely when I was walking in Shinjuku.

Just a one of us

All Over The Flat

Borne from a little piano riff. Enjoy! Still in draft form. I may improve later, and add something. This one really resisted my rearrangements. It spoke to me and said it had to be this way. A rarity in my case!
