Whenever we send Hans the demo of a new song, one of the most enticing parts of the process is that we never know what is going to come winging it’s way back from Hamburg.  We never try and steer him in any particular direction because we have total faith that whatever he sends will  be much, much better than anything we’d had in mind.

Quite often, once a week or two has passed and he’s had the chance to expand on his thinking, he’ll send another version, totally different from the first but always something equally as brilliant, causing both Tel and myself to ponder which one to post.   A quandary of the very best kind.  

Chris O is a multi-faceted musician who seems at home within any genre but there’s no doubt she is best known for her mastery of The Blues, hence the demo leaning very firmly in that direction…or so we thought  However, on hearing it for the first time, Hans heard something very different.  His thoughts focused on a simple piano / voice ballad, something we were certainly not expecting but which totally blew us away.

By the end of that weekend though, along too came the blues version, a delicious groove to which I couldn’t wait to add some drums and as those who’ve already heard it will know, that’s the one we eventually posted.  Nevertheless, the indelible mark imprinted on my sensibilities by the unplugged mix simply refused to go away.  Even though it’s precisely the same vocal, the pared-back accompaniment pushes it’s heart and it’s power to the fore and I felt that it deserved to be heard.  So that’s the reason we’re posting ‘The Love of Mrs. O’, phase two…

In closing, despite our retirement from active involvement here on SC, Cripple Club wanted to send each and every one of you our sincere thanks for continuing to support our work.  Your generosity of spirit and kind words always mean so much to the three of us.  (Gary Reeves)

I met a brave woman by the name of Mrs O
Playing ‘The Blues’ flying high sometimes flying low
Guitars and Banjos pitching..always acoustic 
Singing and sharing a love affair with music

The Love Of Mrs O

No distance too far, mile by mile growing warm
Confidence of written word believing in art-form
Marriage strings and voice harmonising sounds
The love of freedom scales tightly in bounds

The Love Of Mrs O

Concerts of brave, pulse to a time
Ensemble in waves, helping the climb
Brothers of blues, traveller of love
Live music choose, to fit like a glove

The Love Of Mrs O

Mrs O keeps soaring magnum opus in her hands
Song of friendship for a man from many bands
Expanse of cumulus clouds, filming for all to see
Never hiding from the challenge in the Nebulosity

The Love Of Mrs O

Up and down across the world finding a closeness
No discrimination of any kind, love is always best
From ‘The Beatles’ land to a Sydney education 
Fondness for Mrs O, giving a continuous ovation

The Love Of Mrs O

THE LOVE OF MRS. O (UNPLUGGED) - CRIPPLE CLUB

Another piece with my friend @Rosindust, the 23rd, so far...
I can't give it a definition of its musical genre, there are many things in it and in these cases I solve the dilemma with a nice tag "World", which in fact means everything and nothing, or maybe only that it's not extraterrestrial music :)
Or maybe, in this case, choosing "World" is just right: a few days ago I was in Marseille, France, it was early in the morning and while everyone was sleeping I received on my cell phone the recording of Tatiana's part from Siberia. I listened to it and I replied: "Thank you! Tonight, in Rome,I'll put it all together and I'll let you know".
A few hours later, she was probably walking in a wood when she listened to the finished track I just sent back. Now it seems normal but, just thinking about something like this, until a few years ago it would have seemed impossible...
The wide world has become a small world.

Composition and all arrangements: Francesco Cartocci

So far so close - with Rosin dust

Surprise! 🥳 I'm rapping with TKJ (@the_king_of_the_jungle), aka my 14 yo son! He did everything, except for the beat and my vocals, of course. And believe me, he wasn’t easy to please...he had me doing a hundred takes until he was finally satisfied with me. 🤯

Check out his music here: https://on.soundcloud.com/DqzmgJF33AEubU5b7 
Show him some love and let him know who the real King of the Jungle is! 🦁👑

Psycho On The Phone (with TKJ, aka my son)

Last one 2024!! 

This started off as a completely different song. But I decided to leave this as a SUPER SHORT one after much consideration. Imagine all the different things that this song COULD be about. That to me - for this peace of work - is what makes it interesting. The mystery behind it. The listener can put their own story onto it. Anything at all. 

Or just listen to it as it. 

This is a "not song - song" 

Happy End of 2024 to all my wonderfully talented peers on Soundcloud! 

Lyrics:

Seems as though 
All my Life
I was walking the lonely road
Seems as though 
All this time
I didn't know how to take
What was rightfully mine
It was right there in front of me
Oh oh oh
All this time

Seems As Though (Last One, 2024)

ETERNITY'S BREATH

Beyond eternity look what we  've missed,
We are looking like clouds ridding the mist
We thought it was all over and there is no return,
And now we wonder how not to pretend.

The doors are opening and light shall glow,
Illusion desperate to give us a bow,
Reality syndrome is hoping relief,
And our solar heaven ignites with belief.

We were born free
We were born free
Lets dive to this world free
Lets dive to this world free

Freeborn - Freeborn.

ETERNITY'S BREATH - JAMMING ME AND BILL (Lyrics on Description)

I've started making music for creators, it's in the SoundOn CML library for creators, in the hopes it might go viral and let people find my other music. Thank you for listening, every stream counts.

Dreamland

My [Sonorisen] song has several mix versions and this track is clearly in the abstract-electro line with bare powerful stance in silence. I suppose...this sound has an ideal kind of 'Self-Attribution'.

*This song means its entire content's already published on the varied Broadcasting music services such that YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and more. You could have a choice referred any sound presences for Streaming and Purchasing as your favour!*
