Perfect retro tune, right down to the lo-fi mix. This is very cool. :)

This song gets better every time I listen to it.

COIL MONEY FROM THAT HAPPY OPUS

■概要(overview)
何となくギターを手に取って、録音してみました。
せっかくなので、ボーカルも入れてみました。
それにしても酷い歌詞だ！はははは！

シンセの音をあまり入れなかったので、1日でできました。
皆様、2022年はありがとうございました。
2023年も一緒に遊びましょう！

I picked up a guitar and started recording.
Since it's a big deal, I tried adding vocals as well.
Those are terrible lyrics! Hahahaha!

I didn't include many synth sounds, so it was completed in one day.
Thank you all for 2022.
Let's play together in 2023!

■歌詞
一年でね　最も華やかなクリスマスのパーティーが終わってしまった
風邪をひいてさ　ずっと寝込んでいたらさ　誰もさ　いなくなっていた

あんなに待ち遠しかった年末も
どこか寂しくて　どこか孤独だ

誰もいない街灯の下で
クリスマスキャロルの小説を読んでいる

ラララ・・

久しぶりに電車に乗ってみた
何だかさ　静かすぎるっていうか
時間の流れがさ　捻じれてしまっているような
不思議な感じがしたんだ

夕飯は街の中華食堂でチャーハンを頼んだんだ
窓から入ってくる風が冷たくてね
何だか僕は一人で何をやっているんだろうという
そんな気持ちになってしまった

ラララ・・

■lyrics
In a year, the most glamorous Christmas party has ended
I caught a cold, and when I stayed in bed for a long time, people started to leave me

Even the end of the year that I've been waiting for so long
Somewhere lonely Somewhere lonely

Under an empty streetlight
reading a christmas carol novel

Lalala...

I took a train for the first time in a while
Somehow it's too quiet
It's like the flow of time has been twisted
I felt strange

For dinner, I ordered fried rice at a Chinese restaurant in town.
The wind coming through the window is cold
Somehow I wonder what I'm doing alone
I got that feeling

Lalala...

Before Happy New Year

Modes About Me X bloom - The Train - 120 BPM - Instrumental in G Major, Vocals in Gb Minor

Music: Composed, written, and performed by
bloom - https://www.youtube.com/@bloomprod

Lyrics: Written and performed by Modes About Me "Mark David McClellan"

The Train (Prod. Bloom)

Piece inspired by romanticism in the city: love within concrete walls, poetry beneath artificial light...

Three vocal parts (translated lyrics below) became in very different moods in the songwriter phase, so I couldn't fit them in the same tempo. Working hard on transitions, I got the following solution:

Intro: ad libitum
A: 6/4 & 5/4 at 147bpm
B: 4/4 at 220bpm
C: 4/4 at 293bpm

Such ABC pattern is repeated twice, structured with some city scenes, and 2nd 'C' part includes a guitar soloing lesson by https://soundcloud.com/paco-ray, old friend of mine, technical consultor and personal luthier ;)

Pic: edited photo taken from home studio window where I recorded some city sounds for the track.

LETRA / LYRICS:

DAS VIDA A MI CIUDAD      /      YOU GIVE LIFE TO MY CITY

En la ciudad donde vivo,     /   In the city where I live,
llena de romanticismo,       /   full of romanticism,
el cariño que has perdido    /   the affection you have lost,
ven a buscarlo conmigo.      /   come to look for it with me.

Las farolas en la acera,    /    The lamps along the sidewalk,
con su fija alternativa,    /    with their constant alternation,
iluminan, no iluminan,      /    illuminate, do not illuminate,
el escenario de mi vida.     /   the stage of my life.

Entre bloques de hormigón,   /   Among blocks of concrete,
somos capaces de pedir perdón. / we are able to apologize.
Entre bloques de hormigón,   /   Among blocks of concrete,
somos capaces de sentir amor. /  we are able to feel love.

Caminando sobre asfalto,   /     Walking on asphalt,
abrazado a tu cadera,     /      held on your hip,
entre coches aparcados,     /    amid parked cars,
duerme la ciudad entera.    /    the entire city sleeps.

Eres tú toda la vida      /      You are all the life
que esta ciudad necesita,   /    that this city needs,
compartiendo cada esquina,   /   sharing every corner,
calles de melancolía...     /    streets of melancholy...

Entre bloques de hormigón,   /   Among blocks of concrete,
somos capaces de pedir perdón. / we are able to apologize.
Entre bloques de hormigón,   /   Among blocks of concrete,
somos capaces de sentir amor.  / we are able to feel love.

Concert live recording bring surprisingly different feeling. 


I’m staring out the window,
the landscape blurs like a dream.
Long lines of lights go streaming by,
like frames from a silent scene.

Painted ribbons in the sky,
I caught you once with just one eye,
through the glass of my train car door —
you passed by,
smiling gently,
your hair caught in the breeze.

⸻

[Bridge]

And it feels a little foolish
pretending I don’t see,
pretending I don’t feel you
still turning back in me.

Those strands of hair
caught in the draft,
brushing lips and eyes —
you’re still so beautiful.

⸻

[Verse]

I remember us,
standing at the platform edge,
as time just stood and waited,
the crowd passed like a blur —
but there was only hush,
and the dark,
and your beating heart…

Until I opened my eyes.

⸻

[Refrain]

It was long ago,
and maybe not even real,
just a memory lost in the morning mist,
tucked in the bottom drawer I never open.

⸻

[Bridge – reprise]

And now you walk past my window again…

It feels so strange,
pretending I don’t see,
pretending I don’t feel again,
pretending I don’t glance
toward those half-closed doors
across the aisle.

⸻

[Instrumental Intermezzo]

It was long ago,
and maybe not even real,
just a memory lost in the morning mist,
tucked in the bottom drawer I never open.

⸻

[Outro Verse]

I rush out after you,
catching luck in a butterfly net —
and somehow I know I’ve caught you,
I’ve caught you…

⸻

[Bridge – outro]

Just you and me,
and never alone…

[Instrumental Outro]

( Live ) I met you in the train

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

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

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.

A Multimedia Puzzle-Story Of An Immortal Being's Struggle To Define And Exert Their Will Upon A Wholly Deterministic And Ambivalent Multiverse, And The Strange Cult Who Loves Them.

--------

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."
