Anapanasati (Mindfullness of Breath)

Unceasing Motion ...how to be?
At this pace…..hard to see?
The grand canvas scrawled by you and me
Lest we forget it is all a dream…..

The walls may crumble all around
The floor can drop out, plummeting down
The sky can fracture, fall apart. 
But just remember …...just breathe

The life the spirit the light inside you

Speak  Sati and Slow down time
Dharma vicay and analyze
Say Viriya, persist resist
Speak of Piti and energy it climbs
Whisper passadhi, calming of the mind

The walls may crumble all around
The floor can drop out, plummeting down
The sky can fracture, split apart. 
But just remember …...just breathe

The life the, the spirit, the beauty in you…..

Now its samadhi focused eyes
Upekha closes we realize
Enjoy the beauty and breath and life……..

Just breathe…..


Anapanasati!

Anapanasati(remastered)

On the 1st of March 2024, Kyiv-based indie/alternative band Electric Rime released the debut single, "Tales," from the upcoming self-titled EP.

“Tales” is a powerful song that captures the feeling of an impending disaster. The lyrics were finished just days before the full-scale war in Ukraine started," says Alina Fedorova, the vocalist of Electric Rime.

All instruments were recorded in Kyiv at Primat Production, and vocals at Rogue Recording Studios in London. The song was mixed and mastered at Primat Production by Kostya Puha.

Flight at the End - Matt Warren

“This particular song is about conspiracy theories and how they ultimately lead to our demise,” Warren explains. References to doomsday-like imagery and rapid deterioration appear reflective of rampant pessimism in such conspiracy circles, and it’s conveyed with wit and effectiveness here. Also engaging is the spacious bridge past the two-minute mark — “you can’t escape…” — which touts a dark post-punk demeanor prior to another hooky rock emergence. “Flight at the End” is an insightful, melodic offering from Matt Warren." Obscure Sounds

"Vocally, Matt could be the lovechild of Benjamin Ian Kowalewicz (Billy Talent) and Tobias Forge (Ghost), a comparison I intend as the highest compliment! I can’t get enough of ‘Flight at the End’, and eagerly anticipate hearing what Warren gets up to next!" Mesmerised

"With a voice that hooks you from the first note, Warren delivers his piquant songwriting with a sense of gravitas and range. His vocals ebb and flow with the accentuation of the lyrics, drawing the listener into the narrative. “Flight at the End” explores the cyclical damage caused by paranoia, mistrust, and conspiracy theories, painting a haunting portrait of how these destructive forces can lead to our ultimate downfall."

LYRICS
Verse 1
I sat looking at the sun and wondered where’d the yellow go,
Was it juiced away like cancer?
All the planes patrol the skies and now the weather’s turned to ash,
There has to be an answer.

Chorus
This is the flight at the end and we’re falling to the ground,
This is the flight at the end and we’re heading down right now.

Verse 2
The lines dissect both grey and blue until there’s nothing left of note,
A lonely patch off in the distance.
Above the islands where there’s gold and everything you can’t imagine,
And their stories inconsistent

Chorus
This is the flight at the end and we’re falling to the ground,
This is the flight at the end and we’re heading down right now.
This is the flight at the end and we’re falling to the ground,
This is the flight at the end and we’re heading down right now.

Bridge
Walk faster… They’re coming for you.
Fear the answer… You can’t escape the truth.

Chorus
This is the flight at the end and we’re falling to the ground,
This is the flight at the end and we’re heading down right now.
This is the flight at the end and we’re falling to the ground,
This is the flight at the end and we’re heading down right now.
This is the flight at the end and we’re falling to the ground,
This is the flight at the end and we’re heading down right now.
This is the flight at the end and we’re falling to the ground,
This is the flight at the end and we’re heading down right now.

Taboo

Vegas 

Verse 1
50 storeys high
And the car park queues like ants round ice cream on a sunny day
It’s a good job I’m not afraid of heights
The mountains fade away
And frame the buildings, those silly buildings that take the place
Of all the beauty that’s hidden by the waste

Chorus
I can’t help but love Las Vegas even though I know it’s wrong
Yeah, I can’t help but love Las Vegas even though I know it’s wrong
We all know it’s so wrong

Verse 2
The strip at anytime
With its pristine plastic engineering and neon lights
Means I gotta wear shades to sleep at night
And rain just barely falls
And when it does they burn it off with volcanoes
And make it dance to Sinatra in the sun

Chorus
I can’t help but love Las Vegas even though I know it’s wrong
Yeah, I can’t help but love Las Vegas even though I know it’s wrong
We all know it’s so wrong
It all just feels so wrong

Break
And there’s nowhere, quite like Vegas
But it leaves me, feeling violated	
Every time I swear I’ll never go there again
24 hours later I’m and I’m on the internet
Viva, viva, viva…. Las Vegas

Chorus
I can’t help but love Las Vegas even though I know it’s wrong
Yeah, I can’t help but love Las Vegas even though I know it’s wrong
We all know it’s so wrong
It all just feels so wrong

Vegas

#love

This song describes pretty much what I was feeling when I was playing live with my band back at the end of the 90s.. This was more or less the energy and vibe

Matt Warren is a Cheshire based songwriter and collaborator who hadn't written a song in many a moon. Then, Covid-19 struck and for sanity's sake Matt picked up his guitar and started his personal and cathartic foray back into writing and the world of music.
