Metamorphoses: 24 Transformative songs from the SoundCloud community

Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Wednesday evening (or when we receive 200 submissions, whichever is sooner) - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 26th February: from Friday afternoon you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch520

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves or on the BBC Music Introducing Mixtape during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance. 

We also don’t accept short previews or SoundCloud Go tracks that can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which cannot be included in playlists. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks (and remixes of tracks) that have been previously submitted, and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 520

Bulbs of Appreciation: Thanks for all your playlists and comments on The Shrike Pt. 1, Pt. 2!

Goddess Advent

We all don't know. And we spend a lot of time thinking about it.
It's important to appreciate the life we have and make the most of it. It's important how we use our time to make sure we live the life we want.

I thank my fellow musicians, especially Marquis, who always takes a look at my quirky projects. This time he even wrote a foreword - I'm grateful for that, after we set the theme.
Furthermore I thank Fabi for his wonderful guitars and Malu for a cool singing session.

"My wife and I had just finished creating our “Death Docs” when bitzone reached out and asked if I wanted to work on a new song with him. “Death Docs” are what my wife was calling all the paperwork related to our will and estate planning. When I asked Bitzone what he wanted my lyrics to be about he replied “perhaps about regulating one's own affairs for an uncertain future …” I though this was good timing since this was already on my mind. As I began writing lyrics, I started to ponder what some of my generation (and older) on our death bed would say to the younger generation that will have to live with our mistakes on this planet. Maybe there is still time to fix things. As they say, always leave the campground cleaner than you found it." - Marquis Zane aka Couch King, 2022 Dec.

What if there is nothing at the end of the road?

I leave to you my denied intuition
Kinda saw it coming all along
I leave to you my dark bleak vision
You’re right, guess we had it all wrong
I leave to you my dead optimism
To start it wasn’t really that strong
I leave to you my tired tried mission
And leave it up to you take it on

What if there is nothing at the end of the road?
It counts one by one, all of us!

To you, soon deceased
Despite failed attempts to say the least
To right this impending hell that’s soon to be unleashed
Famine from my feast
With lips and fingers fully greased and grasp that stubbornly refuses to release
I desist and I cease
I lovingly bequeath

What if there is nothing at the end of the road?
It counts one by one, all of us!

Guess I should have told you
A little bit sooner
Maybe thought what I could do
To make things smoother
Planned a little better for my
Inevitable departure
Thought about your future
Instead of just being a consumer
Instead of an over producer
Call me a user
Hope you can be just a little bit truer

End of the road

Northern soul, Latin, Funk. Psychedelia. 
Danse Breakdown'. Vocals. Vocalatti. Music. David. k. A. Spencer
New music, composition, encompassing , the vocals of 'the original song, Danse Danse': Kadish, Lucas, Scott, Slater (Apra/Amcos 2022)

David Lucas and his late father, Bill Lucas, an acclaimed Sydney architect attended my voice workshops held by the "Once Extra Dance Company" back in the "80's". Adventurous , creative souls with no holds barred on what was the beginnings of Danse Danse. It was then called "Dance Out Of Beat" and was a commentary on the club scene that I'd very much been a part of in the "60's" In recent times I invited Annette Scott on board who has brought it brilliantly to fruition along with my longtime collaborator, Jazz pianist/composer, Kirk Kadish. Now we have a new take on the current dance scene with a touch of empowerment as to who has the final moves.

Danse Breakdown. (Vocals) Vocalatti

This track is a collaboration with Masha @masha-solo the vocalist of Archmage Band @archmageband2 After creating a section arranged by her for the instrumental, I continued with other sections, and after completing the instrumental, she added the vocal melody to finish it.

'Writer's Block'

On a dark, cold, and rainy night
I drank a hot coffee and prepared to write
Hoping to finish more scenes of a novel tonight,
It was almost too complex, and very hard to get it right

I felt that my thoughts were scatterbrained,
And that the scene did not make sense,
I wrote it and rewrote it,
But I might have been too tense,

I thought my script was just a mess
I felt that it was better, when I had written less

This scene was just eluding me
This scene was just eluding me
I wanted to express my thoughts creatively,
I wanted to express my thoughts creatively,

I felt that my thoughts were scatterbrained,
And that the scene did not make sense,
I wrote it and rewrote it,
But I might have been too tense,

This scene was just eluding me
I wanted to express my thoughts creatively
That doesn't always happen easily
Yeah, it doesn't always happen easily

Of how I saw it in my mind
I can do better,
I told myself
I'll just start over,
I'll just put this script back on the shelf,
Another try, another day,
Pick up the notebook and the pen
And try again,
And try again,
I'll try again,
I'll try again

I got quite sad about my writer's block
At least you were there for me to have a talk
You cheered me up, perhaps another day I can try again,
Another try, another day, pick up the notebook and the pen
I got quite sad about my writer's block
At least you were there for me to have a talk

While reconstructing Moza's 'What If We Could Do Everything?' https://on.soundcloud.com/3MGj1
   I came up with a completely different melody and arrangement. I shared it with Moza, and he recorded vocals for it. Feeling that this relatively grand song lacked something, I thought of incorporating rap. I had been impressed with Lemon Muzik's work as a track maker, so I invited him to join as a rapper. I really like his rap. Additionally, he provided backing vocals for the chorus part. 

This is a Christmas present from the three of us. Merry Christmas.

'What If'

"This song is dedicated to all the Hopeless
Who got the less hope.
What if? What if?
If you just open your eyes 
And spread your mind up in the air
And just listen to this song.
Uh uh uh"

So long, so hard to find the meaning of love
but now you're gone
that is the way it goes i don't know

"(Ayo Listen)
Get the things just right (i said)
Get the things just right (i said)
Don’t tease it, but grab the opportunity
Seize the day! Carpe D.M.
Boys B M.B.tious 
Until the very end of the day
Hey~ Ho~"
 
So long, so hard to find the meaning of love
But now you're gone
That is the way it goes i don't know

The seasons change, but my love remains,
Through sunshine and storms, through joys and pains.
Though you're not here, I'll break these chains,
And hold on to the memories.

What If We Could Do Everything? 

"What if? "
Putting this on your radar
Putting on your armor
Get your own phone number
Love never felt so good

So hard to see
Love knows no end.

Cuore spezzato

Sk & Tubo     Cuore spezzato

This is the lead track from the set of songs that I began with Wou-Wou & the Wormling during the start of the turmoil and chaos brought upon by the pandemic. This is also the first part of four tracks within the album directly based on Wou-Wou’s comic, The Shrike. It has been incredible working with Bitzone and Stricknice throughout the project as well. It is always cool when the everyone in the stag heard works well togehter and brings distinct yet complimentary ideas to the mix. Big thanks also to Weighty Tree for introducing his groovy style of neopsychedelica to the rut! 

May everyone be victorious at their turn during the rut.

Lyrics

Intro
Several weeks after the events of The Great Scurry, all had returned back to normal in the autumnal forest. Nature has a way of quickly shaking off the traumas of the past and returning to its most basic of desires. You see, all of life yearns to mate and procreate, and while most that experience defeat from the stronger or rejection from those seeking the fitter, muster the determination to get back up again, some take their spurning to heart, as if they were more deserving than nature intended, where it festers and begins to grow a new grotesque life of its own.     

Verse
Word 
Yo
As antlers crashed with the desperation of lust 
And the scent of musk in the air
I couldn’t help but take notice there
Was a sweet smell of autumn 
Carried in the gust 
Of wind  
It is a beautiful time of the year
When the does come into estrus 
And there is only one thing on my mind
I must get some of that behind 
I find
Times like these to be harbingers 
That linger
I could count times like these on my fingers
If I didn’t have hooves 
And wasn’t crashing to the ground 
With the sound of defeated dreams 
Of games of hard to get
And multiple days of getting wet 
I let the overwhelming excitement of rut
Get the best of me 
And now am crest fallen to see
The Doe that I thought was mine
Walk away with the buck that brought me down to the twines
Uh

VENTOSO BLUES A LA PRADERA  /  WINDY BLUES FOR THE PRAIRIE

Pradera, salgo de viaje,  /  Prairie, I go on a trip,
te dejo aquí prisionera.  /  I leave you prisoner here.
Salgo sin prisa, pradera,  /  I leave without hurry, prairie,
seca de hierba salvaje.  /  dry from wild grass.

su frescura y su coraje  /  its freshness and its courage

Este tren que con seguro  /  This train that with confident
traqueteo de ti me lleva;  /  rattling takes me away from you;

ensuciando tu aire puro.  /  polluting your pure air.

debil tú, el acero duro,  /  weak you, the steel hard,
tú la brisa, él el muro,  /  you the breeze, it the wall,
tú la suave, mi pradera.  /  you the soft, my prairie.

De tus flores, la frescura,  /  From your flowers, the freshness,
quieren apagar el fuego  /  they want to extinguish the fire
de la marcha, y así luego  /  of the pace, and so then
mantener fragancia pura,  /  maintain pure fragrance,
mas es tal tu desventura,  /  but your misfortune is such,
tal fuerza del enclavado  /  such strength of the interlocked
metal, que te ha fallado  /  metal, that has failed you
tuya la verde dulzura  /  yours the green sweetness
bajo la realidad dura  /  under the harsh reality
de los rieles plateados.  /  of the silvery rails.

Like we used to

We don't play in gigs like we used to
We don't play in the streets like we used to
We don't hang out in squares like we used to
and we don't drink ice cold beers like we used to

and now we grew up, became strangers we fell on trap 
and the days are not the same, like we used to...used to

We don't jam at all, like we used to
we don't grill outside the yard, like we used to
we don't party as friends like we used to
we don't say hello like we used to....used to

and now egos stood up, became cold and all that crap
and the years are not the same, like we used to...used to!

LYRICS
As she picks up the pieces 
Her heart rate decreases 
She tried to catch her breath and find her feet 
Walking through each day fast asleep 

As the wind took their ashes 
Her stomach sick from sadness 
The sweetest angel came down to earth 
Now broken 14 years from birth 

As she moves on from the fourth
Tested by a familiar unknown force 
She tries to heal her wings and get some rest 
When the tide is in she always feels her best

As the wind took their ashes 
Her stomach sick from sadness 
The sweetest angel came down to earth 
Now broken 14 years from birth

The 12 Steps

The Aftermath

This is the latest in the Texas Tea series called 'Firstly'.  It's something I was working on and I got to a point where I felt it needed a kick.  So I said hmmm, self do you know anyone that plays killer synth and that might be open to adding something cool to this?  And of course I did.  Terry was kind enough to throw something together with short notice and I think it's great. 

The idea is the song is like drifting down a river but the river is not water it's the blood of innocent kittens - no it's not, it's not, relax. just seeing who reads all this,   it's a psychedelic river and as you float all these different sounds appear. It's a busy song but it is intentionally, so take your ADD meds and put on some headphones and see what happens !

Firstly - w/ Tea R. Sea

Cast of Characters:
~Mark F-- @mark_fosella -- bass guitar, composition

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – first screaming electric guitar

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– second psychedelic electric guitar, production, and mix

J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell –electric piano 

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and percussion

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-organ



This song is the first The Eclectic Collective has done with Mark, and we all had a great time making it with him. This song started with Mark, who is a bass player's bass player, giving his raw bass track to Ken, who brought it to the group. Ken laid down his exciting drums to match Mark's bass line before anything else happened, though. Once we had a rhythm section, JJ laid down his dancing electric piano. Once that was in place, I laid down the organ. Then it was time for the guitars, played electrifyingly by both Tez and Stephen. Tez plays throughout most of the song, and Stephen added his part towards the end. Stephen also mixed this for us expertly, as always. If you have a beverage in your hands, you might want to set it down. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.
