To Touch You Again

Yearning

Play, Guitar Play

I've been "away" for a while musically, because I was busy with setting up a new PC as "music machine", but yesterday and today I've created a new track from scratch, started with programming percussion, beats, brass and stuff, the jungle vibe ambience included (with Palindrome); so all is vst and no audio loops used. Finally I added a sloppy sax jam, which may be replaced some day ;-) so have fun and enjoy my late summer vibes ! photo by Truman Talbot, unsplash

Work Your Magic 2022

I'm pretty sure you heard it before
you wont listen but you cant ignore
the power cut on your side of the line
fixing it it will take up all our time
the power cut on your side of the line
fixing it it will take up all our time
work your magic
now work your magic
work your magic
now work your magic

cross your fingers sevenfold
bow down and put your own needs on hold
mounted on the back of the hardened
the worst offenders who never get pardoned
mounted on the back of the hardened
the worst offenders who never get pardoned
now work your work your magic 
work your magic work your magic
work your magic
  
this is your captain calling
with an urgent warning*
now bid farewell to the departed
we‘re going back to where we started
now bid farewell to the departed
we‘re going back to where we started
work your magic work your magic
work your magic 

I'm pretty sure you heard it before
you wont listen but you cant ignore
the power cut on your side of the line
fixing it it will take up all of your time

* first two lines of the third verse borrowed from  ”Sweet Bird Of Truth“ by The The (1986)

Work Your Magic

We made this version for a new friend on SoundCloud who wanted to rap over parts of the song, but it also makes for a great standalone extended version in our opinion, so we're releasing it separately too.

Originally composed in 2014, and refined and added to over the years. Masha Solo is the vocalist. A heartfelt song of ours, layered with synths and effects. It covers the idea of how important having a cup of tea with someone can be, just talking about life (In particular how your life matters, so don't disappear - you are the only one of you)

The beautiful song art for this one is a watercolour painting by AngieVX_Art, a really good friend of ours and talented poet, artist, designer and translator. You can find more of her art here: https://www.instagram.com/angievx_art

Thanks for listening!

Lyrics by Masha. The extended version's order is different.

Lyrics:

Hey, you look sad!
Hey, you look sad!
Hey, you look sad!

I know right now
That you are all stressed out 
But
We can work it out
Yeah
We can work it out

Hey! You look sad,
I want to help you so bad,
You seem incredibly drained now, 
Something wrong?

Feel free to vent,
Talking it out could explain, 
Because I’d like to know now, 
What it is you underwent

Hang on, dear friend
Life will get better again
It sometimes comes down to balance 
I think you work way too hard

Let’s go and relax,
Maybe I’ll make us both tea?
Did you want black, milk, two sugars? 
Sure, sounds good to me

Sit down and I'll make your cuppa tea 
Just chill here with me
And we'll work it out
I know right now
That you are all stressed out 
But
We can work it out
Yeah
We can work it out x2

You are right here for a reason 
(Don't disappear)
We need you
You are the only one of you, 
(Don't disappear)
You’re unique
Why do you think that you’re not loved? 
(Don't disappear)
We love you
You have your place in this world, too, 
(Don't disappear)
The world needs you

On this wide Earth,
There is nobody like you,
And there will be a piece missing, 
When you’re gone

Everyone dies,
But this is not yet your time
And we’ll get through this together, 
Please for me, stay strong

You are so nice
It's hard to see you so sad 
You may not feel very needed 
But you are

Let's go and relax
Let's go and relax
Let's go and relax
Sure, sounds good to me

And I'll make your cuppa tea
And I'll make your cuppa tea
Sure, sounds good to me
Sure, sounds good to me

We can work it out

SPILL YOUR GUTS

I’m a song-writer who enjoys creating music of any genre.

My son recently introduced me to A.I. and taught me how to do covers of my previously released non-A.I. music. Since I've never considered myself a performer (except playing with worship bands at church or solo-piano at a rehab center) using A.I. is right up my alley.

Since I've  exhausted using my previously released music for A.I. covers, I now compose music in a DAW, rip to a wave file, and make an A.I. cover of this wave file. I then write lyrics to the A.I. music. It takes around 100 A.I. iterations to complete the lyrics and get a style I'm happy with.  

Brief Bio: Lived more than a quarter of my life overseas (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan). Each country gave me an appreciation for different types of music plus probably why I get bored easily in sticking with one genre or another.
