very psychedelic, man! I dig the melody and your keys. the rest of the positions are very tight, too. A big, complete powerful sound. nice work!

This is really cool Mike. I love the twists and turns you have created - very exciting to listen to. I love those chugging guitars and that piano accompaniment. Super quirky and kind of lo-fi 90’s americana pop. Brilliant!

Great songwriting, Mike : ) Dramatic, yet lighthearted take on what we've all just (hopefully) survived.

best vocal and instrumental performance !

LYRICS: 
See the lightning on the skyline
Hear that thunder roll
Feel the storm rising in the midnight air
Reaching out for my soul
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll

See the snow capped mountain in a big blue sky
Hear that mountain stream begin to flow
And that stream becomes a mighty river
Reaching out for my soul
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll

So many questions
Where are the answers to be found?
Is my head way up in the clouds?
Are my feet on solid ground?
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll

From this headland looking out to sea
As the ocean breeze begins to blow
Wave after wave washes over me 
Reaching out for my soul
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll

Hear That Thunder Roll

In The Abyss

Nobody’s hanging around
Been looking all over town, for you
Nothing’s popped up on my phone
Should not have left you alone
How could I have known
That you would run away
Oh I listen to my Playlist seems so dark today wish I could make it brighter 
gonna write a happy song
Everyone’s contagious nobody can save us I can make it brighter gonna write a
happy song
Just then a knock at my door
We still haven’t found a cure, you know
But if you wear one of these
You can go out to the store
This has become such a bore
I’d rather die than waste away
Oh I listen to my Playlist seems so dark today wish I could make it brighter
 gonna write a happy song
Everyone’s contagious nobody can save us I can make it brighter gonna write a happy song
And you know, it’s not as bad as what they sell us on TV
It’s big business making lies reality
They make it hard to be the best that we can be
a roller coaster fiction ride we’ve got to always question why            
spoon fed soon dead get the fuck out of my head
This has become such a bore
We can no longer ignore
Healthily wasting away
Oh I listen to my Playlist seems so dark today wish
News says everyone’s contagious nobody can save us 
Oh I listen to my Playlist seems so dark today wish I could make it brighter
 gonna write a happy song
News says everyone’s contagious nobody can save us I can make it brighter gonna write a happy song

A Winter's Waltz

Too many dancers
have left the hall
Out in the cold
where snow falls down
The night flies by so quickly
you could blink and never see it,
again...

Up in the sky
a pale moonlight
All of this war
just feels insane.
City burns, life cut short
without sense or purpose
I want to hear 
a winter's Waltz

All of them dreams
and hope for future plans
May still come to pass
As long as this train can reach Berlin,
As the eastern front is almost reaching Paris
again

I see you think
the tide has passed
the ship has sailed,
 on a transient wave
 lighthouse signals fast
  you could blink and never see it
but it comes around again

Too many roads have turned to ice
and promisses unmasked as lies
 a hellish cold is coming
you could freeze and never know it

So play me a waltz
"Muse of many twinkling feet"
measure and step
In a winter's waltz again ...

A Winter's Waltz

Chacun d’ entre nous mérite d’ avoir un jour particulier, un jour où tout va bien, sans problèmes, se laisser aller n’ importe où dans la tête, voyager au gré de ses envies sans aucune frontières, être complètement cool , quoi ! Voilà donc le propos de ma chanson.
que je vous laisse découvrir. 
Nice farniente for summer to everybody.
« J’ VAIS BIEN » (lyrics)
J’ aperçois le soleil dans mon sommeil 
Il n’ a qu’à m’ emmener ou ça lui plaît 
California beach c’ est là 
Je pars en voyage en tapis de plage    
Sous mon plafond’ étoiles, je mets les voiles

Aujourd’hui, j’ vais bien , je fais des bulles dans mon bain 
Aujourd’hui j’ pense à rien, à rien
Je t’ emmène bien loin, les idées c’ est pour demain
Aujourd’hui c’ est trop bien,  trop bien

 Un collier de corail sur ton chandail 
Tu t’ appelles la folle au parasol.                                      
California song, chaise longue 
Dis, tu me suis dans mon envie de ne rien faire 
Tu sais des fois l’ hiver tourne à l’ envers 

Aujourd’hui, j’ vais bien , je fais des bulles dans mon bain 
Aujourd’hui j’ pense à rien, à rien
Je t’ emmène bien loin, les idées c’ est pour demain
Aujourd’hui c’ est trop bien,  trop  bien

"Each of us deserves to have a special day, a day when everything is fine, without problems, to let go anywhere in the head, to travel according to our desires without any borders, to be completely cool, whatever. .! So that's what my song is about
which I let you discover.
Nice idleness for summer to everybody.

(google lyrics  traduction: I'M GOOD
i see the sun in my sleep, He just has to take me where he likes California beach it's there
I'm going on a trip in a beach mat, Under my star ceiling I set sail
refrain: Today, I'm fine, I make bubbles in my bath Today, I think of nothing, of nothing
I'm taking you very far, ideas are for tomorrow Today is too good, too good
A coral necklace on your sweater
You call yourself the madwoman with the parasol.
California song, lounge chair
Say, you follow me in my desire to do nothing, You know sometimes winter turns upside down
Refrain:Today, I'm fine, I make bubbles in my bath Today, I think of nothing, of nothing
I'm taking you very far, ideas are for tomorrow Today is too good, too good

J' Vais Bien

Mastering: Adam R. Tucker (@adam-tucker-composer)

A walk through a time where the fields were still full of poppies, cornflowers and camomile and where my grandmother would use the linen tablecloth she inherited from her own grandmother....

Simple Google-Translation of the lyrics:
Photo in a frame
with your name
matt portrait from a bygone time

Me in a little dress
at your side
Flowers by the wayside of a time gone by

Your linen dress 
Your hand so soft
Feeling such a security

Stomp in the gravel path
I laugh while we chat
deep familiarity of a time gone by

Camomile scent 
and red poppies
Wandering through a time gone by

Your linen dress 
your hand so soft
I feel such security

Elderberry syrup 
and a sausage
Wandering through time gone by

In your lap
I am feeling at ease
while I hear your belly rumble

I feel the wind,
Dancing to myself
Through high pastures as an eternal child

In my flat
I look at the photo
Tears are rolling through all these times

I see your face
I feel your light 
And that you're still among us

Old foto's memories

Old photo's memories

This is my first song using only eurorack modular synth gear for all the sounds (except the beat, from a "toy" Yamaha PSS-50, & the guitar solo*).  It's also the first in decades with me doing "real" singing, haha, & whistling, wth?! ;)  It needed vocals so I made up some lyrics (below) which fit the creepy mood.  Don't worry, it's not autobiographical.

*Special thanks to Allan Abrenica for performing the guitar solo! - I composed it on a synth but it needed a real guitar.  Check him out https://soundcloud.com/lost-ph and https://soundcloud.com/ageara/tracks. Thanks as well to Steve Newland https://www.thelightafternoon.com/ for his generous assistance with noise reduction for the PSS-50 & Clint Collins https://soundcloud.com/user-836903146 for finding the perfect song image: "Hand with Reflecting Sphere" by Maurits Cornelis Escher (colorized).

Lyrics:
You, looking at me, want to know what I'm thinking
But I won't tell you oh no
Won't tell you
None of your business

Do, do you really think
There's the slightest chance
That we will ever agree on anything?

No, you're not my kind of person
No you're not my kind you see
This is just the way it is
Try not to blame it all on me

So I'm blocking your transmission?
Can you forgive this imposition
On all of your well-laid plans?
Shame on me
So inconvenient

No, you're not my kind of person
No you are not my kind you see
This is just the way it is
Try not to blame it all on me

No, you are not my kind of person
No you are not the kind I need
This is just the way it is
Try not to bleed all over, me...

Purple Microdot The Allure Pt. 2

Written from the purple microdots (acid) point of view, as
the human becomes the drug, the drug becomes the human. Some of the lyrics are different. Enjoy!!!

This that acid drop—- mind corrupt
Drop that purple microdot
Fear not ——if the time stops——
and the clock refuse to TikTok
Full throttle—speeding-roadblock
brain cell just don’t give a fuck
Tie dye—-sandals ——dreadlocks
Woodstock —type ——Hip-Hop
mesmerized by the kilowatt
my brain ——become a hotspot
Am I human——Am I God——
preparing for ——-the aftershock
the aftershock——-the aftershock
Hell yeah———— and why not ——it’s still that purple
microdot—-microdot—— microdot

Chorus
Think twice before you say no
Charisma —-come on let’s go
The moves —-without Ego
The smile —-or the combo
It’s good times —-and Convo
Cant avoid it—-so you want some more
The allure —-of an outlaw (X3)

Guitar riffs and jazz lines ——like rainbows and sunshine
No limits no guidelines——I’ll start off with a peace sign
don’t even try to undermine——Or I’ll peal back your hairline —
Love it when the stars align——You know I’mer get mine
time stop ———-brain cells begin to pop
From the bottom to the top ——a mental——hotspot
Mesmerizing sound —-kicking kilowatts
From that purple microdot

God status—-here we go at last—-
from the bottom to the top —break that hour glass——
So why you think your teeth are shattering ———so damn fast
It a personal experience—-a one man class
No sleep for those who know ———-the afterglow
Are Y’all ready for the show—Y’all ready for the show…..
no malice establish—-and it’s hitting on the spot
A God’s made —-for love—-that—— purple microdot
This that aftershock—-that aftershock—that aftershock
From that acid drop ———Mind corrupt —Mind corrupt
time stop ———-brain cell begin to pop
From the bottom to the top ——a mental——hotspot
Mesmerizing sound —-kicking kilowatts
From that purple microdot —-From that purple microdot

——Chorus ——

Feeding off the sound like a starving vampire
music in my blood turns a spark into fire
The progeny of lyrics—-rhythm tunes—-desire
Made to Pierce your soul ——like a suit of Bob-wire
Hang tight and ride this storm of ——forget me Nut
Left-brain—right track—it’s called —-purple microdot
And you know I’ll be here—— from —-time to time
Fucking with your mind ————at the drop of a dime
Underground—-under the tongue—-paint a mental picture
yo—you’ll never really know when the acids gonna hit ya
