Just Make Some Noise!

Many years – the collaborations -

At the end of the year we all have something to look back upon. I looked back at the many years behind me and made my personal musical reflection in this piece of music: a instrumental, latin pop kind of track with a special Spanish ‘fire’ in the middle.

This is a list of collaborations that came to stand with the original instrumental (down the list) with likely more to follow..

The original is open for collaboration and I still look forward to hear your beautiful vocals, trumpet, sax, percussion, lead guitar or whatever you think will fit best to the track. Make it a hip-hop rap, add your vocal angels, give it a different style or whatever you like :) and upload it to you profile. No need to ask me about it. I would very much like to hear your end version of course! :))

If you need a different mix for your production please let me know. I can send you a version without drums or with a lower guitar level. A non-mastered mix is available as well. BPM = 75.434(Spanish break is less tight).

Guys, enjoy the listens and/or make your own version and have fun with it :)

Many Years
A song was heard from afar upon the mountains to the sea
Kings and princes were lost in pursuit
Of a whispered melody
Some gave up the search calling it legend
Some grew to fear the sound
Until a mighty man, lost in deep sleep was awakened
His heart was unbound
[Chorus]
He said, 'Kiss me, you'll be mine
Many years is not enough time
You were calling, I couldn't see
I was lost in a dark reverie.'
[ ]
He searched known realms, but when the song faded
Turned to a foreign place
Arriving where many roads meet, he saw a lovely face
She did not know he watched her there
As love overcame him, sweet
For the melody long sought for sprang from her dancing feet
[Chorus]
She said, 'I'm going to dance and you'll follow me
If you can dance along, there may be a kiss, we'll see.'
He followed her every move, didn't miss a step
She said, 'Kiss me, you'll be mine. Many years is not enough time.'

Many Years - 2016  - Mike Spring On Guitar (Feat. Heidi - Marie Arapa on Piano Accordion & Violin

A poignant and melancholy melody, an amazing Spanish guitar by Mike Spring (@mike-spring) inspired me to add two saxophones and a double bass (key). It was been pure fun. I hope some emotion will come to you by this track.
I want to thank Mike for giving me this opportunity.
Thank you for taking  time to listen

DeeP. and the Couch King EP collectable stickers and zine available on Bandcamp here:
https://musiciselation.bandcamp.com/album/deep-and-the-couch-king

This is the second song that DeeP. and I began together. I really enjoy working on these darker tracks with DeeP. and exploring themes of depression, anxiety, fear, and shame. This song was inspired by a person that I was working with who would call me evil whenever he saw me. Even with me being as positive and non judgmental as possible, I am sure I was seen as another person telling him what to do and making decisions for him based on judgmental criteria. I think these are feelings many of us have had and it can be easy to relate to, though difficult to confront. 

I am grateful that we always have an opportunity to grow, learn, reflect, and evolve as individuals, communities, nations, and as a species. May we all be better to each other. 

Giant thanks to DeeP. for working with me on this track. And huge thanks to Nick for joining me on this first track together. I have long enjoyed and felt inspired by Nick’s creative and experimental guitar work and musicianship. I am super glad to have his vibe on this track!

Lyrics:

You’re never gonna make it
You’re dumb and you know it
You’re just a mistake kid
Don’t belong and you show it
Why you even trying
This ain’t meant for you kid
I already know that your lying
We already know that you did it
They know your planning on taking it
And gonna try to deny it
Why even try to fight it 
That’s just the way life is
You’re never gonna change it
You must be deranged if you
Think anything will be different 
If you get outta here shit
You’ll still be the same kid
Just a little punk kid
Look what you done did
When you got mad then you run hid
Don’t ever listen 
To what people are saying kid
Better watch your language 
Always talking trash
Claiming disadvantage 
You and me we clash
Why can’t you manage 
Come off way too brash
I can tell that you’re damaged 
Parents shoulda whooped your ass
Who you think you talking to
Always talking back 
I know all about you ’n
Your side of the track
Don’t question me 
Look at me 
When you hear me speaking 
Think you know everything
Really know nothing
Parent’s got nothing 
Apparent your fronting 
Looking confronting 
That’s why I ain’t trusting 
Homelife disgustin’
Cop frequently busting  
No wonder you like that 
Your really screwed up kid

Disdain disgust despite distrust 
Dismissed deprived derided and cussed
Disparaged, defied, despised when discussed
Detested, depreciated, decried, and hushed

Oh, here comes the demon again
And he’s wearing his crown
Here comes the devil again 
Pretending to be your friend
In an invisible gown

You are so worthless
Won’t amount to anything 
Going through life purposeless 
There’s nothing you bring
Your just an embarrassment 
You show no respect 
Always been a disappointment 
All you touched is wrecked 
Where’s your self-esteem kid
Where’s your sense of pride did
You think can get by with
Living on a free ride shit
Better watch where your going
I can tell you don’t give a damn 
Nor care to understand 
Perspective other than 
The one that your knowing 
Don’t give a shit 
Always so negative
Quick to give up 
Can’t contro ya temper 
About to blow up
I can tell that your stuck 
Ain’t gonna change  
It’s time that you face it
Never act your age
Your impulsive ’n impatient
Look at your rage 
Can’t have a conversation
Should put you in a cage
Before you fuckup again Kid

Disgraced, degraded, deplored, dominated 
Diminish, demeaned, defamed, humiliated 
Discredited, devalued, denounced, subjugated
Denied, debased, detained, incarcerated  

Oh, here comes the devil again
And he’s wearing his crown
Here comes the devil again 
Pretending to be your friend
In an invisible gown

Go go go
Then: no no no 
Always: me me me 
Oh fuck you, sweetie

Reality or TV show?
Am I the void or in the zone? 
It’s hard to tell
When everybody yells

Better not talk to me 
I got my own crazy 
Better not talk to me 
I got my own crazy 
Better not talk to me

I need to come back down 
Don’t even think I’m high 
All the lost girls and boys 
Just make some noise
To rise, to rise
It’s paradise
I need to come back down 
Don’t even think I’m high
I never lose my poise
A shaking voice
Surprise, surprise
In paradise
I need to come back down 

Come back down
Come back down

Fun fun fun (Fi-Fa-Fo) 
Or: none none none 
Just: me me me
And fuck you, sweetie

Better not talk to me
Reality or TV show?
Better not talk to me
Am I the void or in the zone? 
Better not talk to me
It’s hard to tell
When everybody yells 
I got my own crazy

I need to come back down 
Don’t even think I’m high 
All the lost girls and boys
Just make some noise
To rise, to rise
It’s paradise
I need to come back down 
Down
I need to come back down 
Come back down
I need to come back

I might as well yell like everyone else yells 
Aaaah!

Just make some noise 
To rise, to rise
It’s paradise
I need to come back down 
Don’t even think I’m high
I never lose my poise
A shaking voice
Surprise, surprise
In paradise
I need to come back down
