A follow-up to 'Write Your Name on the Sun' - a collection of tracks that spark that 'feel good factor'.... songs that are honest, sweet, sour...  songs that have a light-fuelled energy.  they spark something inside the listener.   If you like what you hear, visit the artist's page and show them a bit of love.  spank you!

LASSO THE MOON

This playlist is similar to GHOST DESERT in its content and mood.  songs that conjure images of wide open space, eagles, starshot skies, and the lullaby of silence.  they also conjure up sunburn, tequila and peyote hangovers, deep canyons and the ricochet of pistol rounds....  wanna join me in the desert, get away from it all for a little while?   if you like what you hear, please let the artist know.  that's all that i ask...  gracias!

SUNBURN & LONG SHADOWS

bass on

Sounds I've heard on here that really speak to me... and a few of my personal best too.

Tunes I could sit back and listen to all day

i wish i could leave
just disappear
where no one can find my place
just disappear 
until my bones will grow into a big tree
.
i wish i could leave to find my place
.
я не знаю, что со мной стало. 

i wish i could leave

I'm stranded here again, another Friday night
Turn up the music, black out the lights
Best kinda scene, I shouldn't have been
Bandits in charge of the silver machine and
One of our friends is along for the ride
Hangin' from the window, out of his mind
I don't want my luck to fall at my feet
Don't wanna feel a thing, just wanna hear you scream, yeah
These are
These are the days that follow you home
These are the days that kiss you on your broken nose
These are the days, I don't miss the feeling of being alone
These are the days, these are the days
We were breakin' the limit, then we broke down
Turned to the left to some no-name town
Everybody's got a dream, I like it best when I'm in it
Comin' 'round the corner, I'll be there in a minute
And I'm comin' up on somethin' sweet
I'm leavin' with the first person I meet
I'm holdin' out, I'm hangin' on
For that moment where it all goes wrong, yeah
These are
These are the days that follow you home
These are the days that kiss you on your broken nose
These are the days, I don't miss the feeling of being alone
These are the days, these are the days
And we can do anything we want for a while
They say
And tell you to behave with a smile
Don't turn
Don't turn and run away
Don't hide
'Cause we can do anything we want for a while
I think we're gonna be okay
Yeah, I think we're gonna be okay
These are
These are the days that follow you home
These are the days that kiss you on your broken nose
These are the days, I don't miss the feeling of being alone
These are the days, these are the days
These days
I think we're gonna be okay

Lyrics:

I feel the fire of a burning sun
And the voices echo down on me
The sudden swell of a thousand waves
Are plunging to the depths of me
Can you tell a storm is coming
Forming distantly
Like memories that ceased to be

Softly, like wind carries heat in air
Our instincts guide us to the fire
The smoke will lead me there

I feel the fire of a burning sun
And the voices echo down on me
The sudden swell of a thousand waves
Are plunging to the depths of me
Can you hear the embers cracking
Dancing in release
My intuition calls on me

Audrey, listen close again to me
I will gladly go where you guide me
Wherever that may be
Like wind carries salt to sea
And this is the start

Illusory, alluring me
Harrowing, the path can be
But if you see the future in me
Like I see in my visions of you

I feel the fire of a burning sun
And the voices echo down on me
The sudden swell of a thousand waves
Are plunging to the depths of me
Can you tell a storm is coming
Forming distantly
I’ll go wherever you guide me

You are the brave lil' one i adore
out in the field, flying your kite
i am in the tower of fool's gold
bend by the moon in the sky...
on all hallows eve, nothing's as it seems.

bend by the moon, she brought her black broom
her dress and cape were cut rough
she'd swing around the rooftop in the dark, circling the old house
it never was the the same---i couldn't get enough of the pain

when leaves left the ground, i had to leave town
with not much to say in impossible gray---
i couldn't hold you under the weight

the boastful affright tonight.

Impossible Gray

This track has been remastered from the original one guitar one vocal all in one take.

The fun thing about doing these remasters is the learning about using and editing files, whilst trying not to disturb the organic nature of the original recording.

This track comes from my first solo LP release 'Movin On'. It was recorded in 2003 on very basic equipment. It will be completely remastered for a Spring re-release.

Enjoy

The River (2013)

When Andreas (http://soundcloud.com/Shoemansky) wrote me and asked if I am open for a collaboration it was like a big "wow" cause I'm a huge fan of his songs! So we chose the motif of one of my piano improvisations for the start (http://soundcloud.com/milanazilnik/on-the-other-side-milana) and used the words I wrote myself when I was thinking to turn that impro into a song. And here is the result :)

Llyrics, vocals and piano by Milana
Vocal, arrangement and production by @Shoemansky

-----------
You lay and wonder, if it is the end, 
And if there is a way  to escape this ending... 
Your tried your best, you made your final stand... 
An empty heart can't deal with no more pain!

Stop the scene, I want a ticket out. 
It makes no sense to keep this engine going... 
You bleed and scream and fill yourself with doubt, 
Your self defense is falling, falling.

On the other side.... on the other side there is hope, there is light..
Can we make it?

I search the ruins for survivals left. 
The grief is burning, but the fear is freezing. 
I'm scared to death to meet the living dead.
These dead are us, if we're afraid of living.

Stop the scene, I want a ticket out. 
It makes no sense to keep this engine going... 
You bleed and scream and fill yourself with doubt, 
Your self defense is falling, falling.

Burn this place, it can be saved by light. 
I rip and crash, until my hands are bleeding. 
If words were blades then I could win this fight, 
But all that's left in me is leaving, leaving...

Stop the scene, I want a ticket out. 
It makes no sense to keep this engine going... 
You bleed and scream and fill yourself with doubt, 
Your self defense is falling, falling.

Is it the end - Milana (lyrics, vox, piano), Shoemansky (vox, arrangement, prod.)

Shapeshifters

I'm from southern Virginia and now live in Philadelphia. I grew up listening to blues while trying to chase down my own. 

The music that I write/record is lyrical, indie rock. (There are so many influences that it's tough for me to really get genre-specific.) Mostly, I just try make sense of the world around me---while claiming my own space within it.

i've recorded two albums, 2011's "Après La Guerre" and 2013's "Life In Mondegreen".  For a free copy of "Life In Mondegreen" please visit http://noisetrade.com/mf

Thanks so much for listening.
