Amazing vibrato- Love your interpretation & reinvention of this classic

This song gets in your head- dreamy & Magic work Mr. Masher.

Very imaginative take on a classic "guilty pleasure" song of mine.

You've captured the magical qualities of the original! Plus, you've taken the song to a deeper level ... not merely a pop remake. That heavy drum, like the beating of a heart that /needs/ some magic to get out of a foggy wilderness. The music and percussion reminds me standing outside a dance club, perhaps in the dark back alley. The whole feeling, including the vocal style, recalls the feeling of seeking and finding something truly magical that night. Such a fascinating, complex take on the original!

Great ver. of this classic with a lovely twist

Amazing soundness, dreamy lines going on!

wonderful to see that that affects you that way. I intended for that to be dreamy, but at the same time, intense - - four on the floor. thank you so so much!

Déjame decirte
que todo lo que ya no fue
es por un adiós
que no huele a rencor

No trates de entenderme,
mi corazón si que está,
y asi verás
la fuga de paz.

One One

Where, where, where will you be
I sought permission for some hyperbole
One one
Coconut for tea
I got permission for some repartee

Take it back, take it back
One one
I've got some things I need to oversee
Take it back, take it back

We could be floating in a turquoise sea
With knees the colour of lapis lazuli
Take it slow, take it slow now
Very leisurely
We can soak up all that lovely vitamin D

One one
Time for tea
I have a licence from the Grand Wazir

Take it back, take it back
one one

Work Rest Play

'Is The Red Dust On Steroids' is from my upcoming album 'A Word In Your Ear Please' and is a jazz Fusion track, inspired by the global chaos being created presently by the so called 'Deep State'. However the planet is in a continual state of chaos known by the Daoists as 'Red Dust' The track is quite extreme in nature and begins and ends very calmly, while the centre sections are the complete opposite.

come take My hand
You should know Me
I've always been in Your mind
You know I will be kind
I'll be guiding You

building Your dream
has to start now
there's no other road to take
You won't make a mistake
I'll be guiding You

Ya have to believe We are magic
nothing can stand in Our way
have to believe We are magic
don't let Your aim ever stray

and if all Your hopes survive
destiny will arrive

and bring all Your dreams alive
for You

-

from where I stand
You are home free
the planets align -- it's so rare
there's promise in the air
and I'm guiding You

through every turn
I'll be near You
I'll come every time You call
I'll catch You when Ya fall
I'll be guiding You

Ya have to believe We are magic
nothing can stand in Our way
have to believe We are magic
don't let Your aim ever stray

and if all Your hopes survive

Lyrics:

New World Order knows what's best for you
YouTube feed knows what you need
Shares and Likes the new worlds currency 
Did you figure it out? That It all means nothing!!

I never thought the world would ever end!!
Now machines decide what's on my mind!!

New vaccines made from spiked protein
Ministry of Truth decides what's real
Mask mandates keep your family safe
Did you figure it out? You all mean nothing!!

I never thought the world would ever end!!
Now machines decide what's on my mind!!
I never thought the world would ever end!!
Now machines decide what's on my mind!!

WE USED FEAR TO CONTROL THE WORLD
WE USED FEAR TO CONTROL THE WORLD
WE USED FEAR TO CONTROL YOUR WORLD
WE USED FEAR TO CONTROL YOUR WORLD

WE USED FEAR TO CONTROL OUR WORLD!!

At Worlds End

let it destroy itself

the PERSON, the SOUND : Since 1985, Philadelphia-born Michael has composed and released hundreds of audio recordings, and published dozens of [erotic] poems.

His 'sonic-sojourn' began suddenly when he was just a teen -- feet splashing rhythmically through puddles leftover by a seaside rainstorm. Having just parted ways with the then-love-of-his-life, Michael composed his first ballad [and first song] ever -- "Tina." He rushed to his beach-side home to record his visceral 'awakening' on a tiny micro-cassette recorder, and vowed -- from that day on -- to create art for the rest of his life.

He began zealously amassing used music equipment, and had built a modest home recording studio by age seventeen, all the while crafting simple pop, ambient, and experimental works that HE had wanted to listen to -- that HE had wanted to hear, affectionately emulating the works of his then-idols, Duran Duran and Brian Eno.

Now, decades later, he has relocated to a small village outside Atlanta, Georgia, and continues to voraciously attend to his dream as a young, heartbroken boy -- to create and release music that he, himself, wants to hear.

Although no longer sequestered to pop and ambient musics, Michael's signature sound has merged the two, having integrated the R&B, hiphop, and psychedelia he has grown to love as a older gent -- having absorbed the edgy rhythms and dreamy soul of the southern United States (Atlanta and Miami).

Michael still puts forth ample amounts af ambient musics, but his recent 'sound' hovers elsewhere -- somewhere amidst the genres of vaportrap, spacerock, and trip-hop.
