Vægten af Valg er en sang om beslutninger, der ikke føles frie – og om tyngden i det, man vælger fra. Om at stå i midten af noget uafgjort, hvor hvert valg føles som et tab, og hver tanke trækker i modsat retning. Et portræt af den indre stilstand, hvor selv længslen bliver kvalt af konsekvenser.

TEKST:

Jeg står midt i noget, der ikke vil ende
Et valg uden start, som jeg prøver at vende
Min tanke vil frem, men mit mod går tilbage
Og alt bli'r forstummet på tankevridsdage

Vægten af valg gør mig tung i mit bryst
Den trækker mig ned, når jeg længes mod lyst

Den hvisker, at valget vil lukke en dør
Og efterlader mig i skyggen af før

Jeg famler mig rundt, men jeg får intet svar
Og noget i mig bliver holdt, hvor det var
Jeg søger en retning, men møder et spil
Hvor intet jeg gør, føles som det slår til

Den hvisker, at valget vil lukke en dør
Og efterlader mig i skyggen af før

Vægten af valg gør mig tung i mit bryst
Den trækker mig ned, når jeg længes mod lyst
Den hvisker, at valget vil lukke en dør
Og efterlader mig i skyggen af før

Vægten af valg gør mig tung i mit bryst
Den trækker mig ned, når jeg længes mod lyst
Den hvisker, at valget vil lukke en dør
Og efterlader mig i skyggen af før

Vægten Af Valg

Twintail

melodic soft rock




October slips through the window,
cold air brushing the skin.
Curtains move like restless shadows,
whispers echo within.

[Bridge ]
The leaves keep falling, one by one,
like hours you cannot hold,
and every night stretches further
[Bridge ]
than the day that came before.

[Chorus – mantra-like, layered voices]
Shadows grow longer…
Shadows grow longer…
[Bridge ]
The silence is closer
[Bridge ]
The silence is closer…

[Outro – fading,]
October stands at the doorway,
[Bridge ]
and never lets you in.

October slips through the window.

With its life giving breath, Kothar-wa-Khasis imbues humanity with the divine impulse, a curiosity and appreciation for beauty, and a set of archetypal symbols to draw upon.

SEI MUTIG! (Der Text) 
Durchgezechte Nacht mit verbogenen Gedanken.
Vernebelte Sicht durch Alkohol und Nikotin.
Aufgetaucht in einer Frühstückskneipe.
Irgendwo im Nirgendwo von Berlin.

Ich fühlte mich einsam und auch mies.
Nicht die geringste Spur von Liebe.
Was läuft hier nur falsch?

Fader Kaffee mit bitterem Geschmack.
Meine Blicke leer aber immer suchend.

Schräg gegenüber saß ein Mädchen.
Heller Teint und schwarzes Haar.
Ihr Blick traf mein Herz.
 
Was ist jetzt nur los?
Ist sie das große Los?
Im Hals `nen fetten Kloß!
Wie schaffe ich das bloß? 

Irritiert schaute ich zu Boden.
Ich wünschte sie käme rüber zu mir!
Kurz darauf blickte ich wieder auf - 
und sie stand ganz nah bei mir.

Und sie sagte:
komm sei mutig!
Zieh mich ganz fest an dich!
Hey, sei nicht so feige!
Glaube an dich und mich!
Verschließe nicht die Augen!
Schaue mich an, ich stehe vor dir.
Sei bitte mutig!
Küsse mich jetzt und hier!

Ich dachte:
komm sei mutig!
Ich zieh` sie ganz fest an mich!
Ey, ich bin nicht feige!
Ich glaube an sie und mich!
Verschließe nicht die Augen!
Schaue mich an, ich stehe vor dir.
Sei bitte mutig!
Küsse mich jetzt und hier! 
Küsse mich jetzt und hier!

Sei mutig!

Here is a song I have written in the classic smooth jazz style. I have left it incomplete, it could use some other melody and harmony lines woven through and a solo at 2.25. I have made it downloadable so that you can add any parts you want. Do whatever you want with it, but please give me a credit in the description, a link to my page and let me know, so that I can listen and repost.
I can also make it available without vocal or vocal harmonies, if anyone fancies singing it.
If anyone would like to give me stems to add, I can mix into a communal track for a final version ; )  
It is in C generally with some dips into G. It is in 12/8 at 142 bpm. I have loaded in mpeg rather than my usual wave file, to facilitate collaboration, but can make a high quality wave file available.
Hope it inspires you, my soundcloud friends : )

Lyric :

We All Need Love

We all need some love

‘It’s a wicked world’ so they say
But I haven’t found it that way
Perhaps I’m a lucky man
Who can say?

As I look back on the time we’ve had together
I wouldn’t change a thing
I wouldn’t change a thing

Love is the strangest thing
It changes every day
Starts off like raging seas
Then gently drifts your life away

We all need some love

We All Need Love (Open Collaboration)

Part of a new batch of songs we are finishing up and using to learn to master better on our Tascam DP24.

As lonely as this night is, it won't be very long
til I can see her brown eyes
and tell her I was wrong
I've been so very sorry		
and not just for the heartless words I said
I hope she's still my baby          
and not just the pretty girl next door

I hope she doesn't keep me hanging on 
Quite as long as I did her
and even though I probably deserve much worse	
I just don't think that I'm that strong

As lonely as this night is, it won't be very long
til I can see her brown eyes
and tell her I was wrong
I've been so very sorry
and not just for the heartless words I said
I hope she's still my baby
and not just the pretty girl next door

I hope she'll take me back again tonight
humble as I am now
and even though I probably deserve much worse 
I hope she'll take back her crown

I hope she doesn't keep me hanging on 
Quite as long as I did her
and even though I probably deserve much worse	
I just don't think that I'm that strong

Lonely as this night

AVANT GARDE | GUTTER PROG | GARAGE JAZZ

Some of our art is made on computers, some of it is made by hand. We are particularly interested in that gray area in between where you cant really tell. All of what we create here is one work laid out in segments, all connected. The Mystic Tape Deck universe is vast and explores all manner of adding meaning to our lives, while pondering meaninglessness.

Please consider supporting our project and helping us complete the work. We make books and cds that go with them. We also have a graphic novel and a custom oracle deck in the works. All part of the story.

Greetings to you: readers, beaders, seekers, wanderers, wonderers, outsiders, rebels, fantasy gamers, freaks, mythologists, philosophers, appreciators, creators, perpetuators of beauty, coveters of mysterious objects, collectors of counter culture, the curious, the questioners, the unusual, the unique, the star children, the light workers, shadow integrators, diviners, alchemists, hermits, monks and popes, the saviors and prophets, the builders and destroyers of worlds, the old ones, the young ones, the rollers of boulders, the sun orbiters, the morning star dewdrops and twinkle toed dreamers of dreams, you mystic shining beacons, you crossers and denizens of the void, reality shapers, universe makers and underworld freaks.

"A prominent feature of avant-garde music is to break through various rules and regulations of traditional culture, in order to transcend established creative principles and appreciation habits. Avant-garde music pursues novelty in musical form and style, insisting that art is above everything else; thus, it creates a transcendental and mysterious sound world. Hint, metaphor, symbol, association, imagery, synesthesia and perception are widely used in avant-garde music techniques to excavate the mystery of human heart and the flow of consciousness, so that many seemingly unrelated but essentially very important events interweave into multi-level structures and forms."
