I needed everything you gave
Everyday I was wasting away
I needed...
I see it, things I threw away
Pacing the room, remember the day
I see it...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
La,la,la,la
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Still waiting for my time to come
Patiently waiting, ready to fire 
Off....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, I know it, I'm not fine
I'm lost in a maze, running blind
And bare false witness to these rants
I'm not in control, your command
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Someone lead me out
Far away from all this sound
Someone lead me out
Away from here, away from here
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No feelings, your blank and dreary eyes
Never could say for certain that
You tried...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, I know it, I'm not fine
I'm lost in a maze, running blind
And bare false witness to these rants
I'm not in control, your command
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Someone lead me out
Far away from all this sound
Someone lead me out
Away from here, away from here

Someday My Prince Will Come-F.Churchill  & L.Morey (Performed by The Miles Davis Project Team)

"A.L.E.X." is a pop ballad about a young man choosing the wrong path of life. The title is both a name and an acronym standing for "all lies excused with ecstasy", though ecstasy is a pars pro toto image. Written in my teenage years, this song has a special meaning to me, because its songwriting, arrangement and instrumentation was years ahead of my knowledge and capabilities. I had to grow up first to understand the real meaning of the lyrics. It's not a song about drug abuse. It's a song about self-rejection, pretending a better self and ending in a desaster. After 15 years of hard work, we were able to finish this song even better than expected. I'd like to thank everybody for taking this unbelieveable journey with me and turning my draft into a gemstone.

This song is part of my album "Going My Way" which can be downloaded at Bandcamp.

==== LYRICS ====

You were such a shy guy
but I can't keep watching you cry
I'm the only one who knows your truth
and the minds that you bemused

Narrator of so many lies
In fear of dropping your disguise 
cause you look like your ego who died

A.L.E.X.
All lies excused with ecstasy
still drowning in your fantasy
Are you searching for an answer
or for a better...

A.L.E.X.
All lies excused with ecstasy
your life has been a misery
Don't keep reminding those years
where you've been rejected 

You were such a silly boy
but they treated you like a toy
This was the reason for your weakness
shammed coolness turned to bleakness

Narrator of a broken dream
Your hope is vanishing like steam
See your blue eyes turning dark and grey

All lies excused with ecstasy
There's more in life than you have seen
Why have you stabbed the one you've been

A.L.E.X.
All lies excused with ecstasy
your life has been a misery
Don't keep reminding those years 
where you've been rejected

Still drowning in despair
waiting for someone to care
I said that you’d believe in you 
but you surrender

A.L.E.X
Why don't you leave your lies
release yourself from your disguise
There are so many things that
you can do without

A.L.E.X.
All lies excused with ecstasy
still drowning in your fantasy
Are you searching for an answer
or for a better...

A.L.E.X
All lies excused with ecstasy
life needn't be a misery

Going My Way

Lyrics

Santa is coming and
I dont know how long i can hold
Santa is coming and
I dont know where I can hide
Santa is coming and
I cant find my gun
Santa is coming and
he'll put me in line


Gone shopping - thats the spirit
I feel it - We all feel it

Gone shopping - you still have credit
and you feel it - We all feel it

Gone shopping - thats the spirit
you still have credit - We all know it

Gone shopping...


Santa is coming...

EVerybody has them 
everybody needs them
got to buy them all 
Buy until you die
You deserve them all
Dont need no money
Just give us your soul

This one is red 
old is blue
New one is better 
the old is shit
buy it buy it buy it 
Buy Buy Buy BUy BUY
---

Santa in his golden mercedes
Filled with twerking laydies 
Big fat smile

Got pockets full of everything but holes
greasy palms and a 
Big fat smile

Grabbing anything anyone
Finished his bottle and rudolf 
He got the moolah

Rudolf with his red nose 
knows better than to mess with mama Claus
from now on

GoodLuck brings a follow up release to their hit song Be Yourself, with their latest offering; ‘Dear Future Me’.

The lyrics in Dear Future Me have been crafted to remind us just how disconnected we have become from one another. How frantic our lives are, and just how little time we give to being present with each other and perhaps most importantly, ourselves. It is the nostalgic link back to when we were young and carefree that makes this song so powerful - the visceral call to remember how to let go of all the worries we carry around with us every day.
“These lyrics are very personal to me, my priorities were very messed up for a while as I struggled to balance my career and my personal life. I know this is a modern day human problem that we all struggle with. So I wrote a letter to myself, as if I was 11 years old. I remembered a time before all the pressure and the deadlines… and I wanted to remind myself not to lose that  part of me.” says Jules Harding.

Thanks for listening,  QWiRL

Talking Dog Joke

A generation of crazy, illuminated hipsters suddenly rising and roaming America, serious, bumming and hitchhiking everywhere, ragged, beatific, beautiful in an ugly graceful new way—a vision gleaned from the way we had heard the word "beat" spoken on street corners on Times Square and in the Village, in other cities in the downtown city night of America—beat, meaning down and out but full of intense conviction. We'd even heard old Daddy Hipsters of the streets speak the word that way, with a melancholy sneer. It never meant juvenile delinquents, it meant characters of a special spirituality who didn't gang up but were solitary Bartlebies staring out the dead wall window of our civilization ...

 - Jack Kerouac from the 1940s or 1950s sometime.

Thanks for listening, QWiRL

What is the meaning of the phrase "fragrance of odipios"?  According to Her Majesty's Space Navy's leading sleep expert Vice Commandant Dubois (https://soundcloud.com/hebe-jebe), it describes the sensation of waking from the deep slumber of a "thousand hypersleeps." 

Vice Commandant Dubois's concoction of synth groove, beats, sound fx, and mysterious title. Admiral Krank is to blame for the guitars and mixing.

Fragrance Of Odipios

"A shapeless figure bent over him, he smelt the fresh leather of the revolver belt, but what insignia did the figure wear on the sleeves and shoulder-straps of its uniform—and in whose name did it raise the dark pistol barrel?  
A second, smashing blow hit him on the ear. 
Then all became quiet. 
There was the sea again with its sounds. 
A wave slowly lifted him up. 
It came from afar 
and travelled sedately on, 
a shrug of eternity."

Arthur Koestler - Darkness at Noon.

In my cabin with just an nylon stringed acoustic guitar and just started my vacation. I felt a bit frustrated without any Marshall stack or my favorite axe. Thanks to the DAW I could mimic distorted guitars and the heavy bass. A short song to celebrate my newly started vacation.
Yeah!

This is one of my compositions, mixed with lot of sounds including samples from the broken orchestra. Thank you @no-mates-ensemble for sending me this amazing material. This really enhanced the "spirit" i imagined for this track! :)I used also a cymbals sample that my friend @PrimaLoop did for our first collab(more will follow soon!).

TIME TRAVELLER

the time traveller
i want to
go home

i don’t want to go
far away

i just want to go
back to where
I know the way

places familiar
people i love

why aren’t they
here today

did i run too far away?

can’t I trace my steps
to yesterday?
tell them not to look away?

i could run
but I’d still be here

cities rise and cities fall
i could walk them all

but what i want is a home
all these places i go
i can’t stop
i don’t know
how they live as they do

i want a home
to come home to.

i want a bed I can sleep in
and dream
a life of my own.

a home to come to.

a dream i can dream
on my own
i want a home
dream a life of my own.

a home to come home to
why aren’t they
here today
(standing beside me,
holding me back
from the waves i go into
over my head
what have I come to
where will i run to?

Evasion

Die Schallarmee (Don't Trust the Machines!)

Unsere ganze Welt jetzt ist bedroht
Die Schallarmee ist hier
Wir sind die Sonickrieger
Wir machen uns viel lautes Lärm

Die Maschinen schreiten immer vorwärts
Wir sind gegen ihren Marsch
Wir stehen fest dagegen
Das dürfen wir nicht scheitern

Bitte traue den Maschinen nicht
Don't trust the machines

Technologie muss uns befreien
Wir werden nicht versklavt
Wir sind die Sonickrieger
Wir schreien laut und schrill
Wir sehen die Roboterbedrohung
Wir vermeiden ihr Trampeln

Bitte traue den Maschinen nicht
Don't trust the machines

Was ist den los?
Was ist das Problem?
Kannst du die Gefahr nicht sehen?
Ich möchte nicht deaktivieren,
Wenn Sie mein Passwort nicht lesen
Ich will wirklich keine Blindheit, 
Wenn Feinde das Licht ausschalten

Wir müssen uns bereit sein
Wir müssen präparieren
Wir sammeln immer unsere Kraft
Wir Menschen müssen stark sein

Die Schallarmee ist hier
Wir sind die Sonickrieger
Wir machen uns viel lautes Lärm
Wir schreien laut und schrill
Wir vertrauen den Maschinen nicht
Bitte traue den Maschinen nicht
Don't trust the machines!

**********************************

The Sonic Army

Our whole world now is threatened
The sonic army is here
We are the sonic warriors
We make a lot of loud noise

The machines are always moving forward
We are against their march
We stand firmly against it
We mustn't fail that

Please do not trust the machines
Do not trust the machines

Technology has to set us free
We are not enslaved
We are the sonic warriors
We scream loud and shrill
We see the robot threat
We avoid their trampling

Please do not trust the machines
Do not trust the machines

What's the matter?
What is the problem?
Can't you see the danger
I don't want to deactivate
If you don't read my password
I really don't want blindness
When enemies turn off the lights

We have to be ready
We have to prepare
We always collect our strength
We humans have to be strong

The sonic army is here
We are the sonic warriors
We make a lot of loud noise
We scream loud and shrill
Please don't trust the machines
Don't trust the machines!

Die Schallarmee (Don't Trust the Machines!)

Hello and thank you for dropping by.

Thank you very much to everyone who takes the time to listen, like and share my noises. I am extremely grateful. My apologies if I take a little while to respond to those that leave nice comments.

I like listening to music, making simple, tunes when I have time, and generally faffing about in an inefficient manner. Hopefully you might like something on offer here. 

I use a Hinkler Cigar Box guitar (about $30 from Aldi, great fun), a Flying V ukulele, a couple of old keyboards, other bits and bobs, and a Yamaha tenor saxophone.
