No Strings

midnight train

I met this incredible traditional Persian singer.  I recorded some of his singing and decided to ruin it with my instrumentation experiments.  I cant wait to start implementing some of this style into some of my other music projects.

Experimental Persian music

Instrumental by 'Intervals'
Track name 'Impulsively Responsible'

My new love is to find instrumentals and then add my own little spice to it. What do you think of this one?

Jake Monson - Synths, Ambience

I started writing this song in 2012 during a time of change in my life.  But it wasn't until 2015 that I wrote a chorus that felt right for the song.  Finally in 2017 my musicianship had reached the level I felt comfortable to record and with the help and studio space donated to me by Alex Pichler I was able to get the idea's out of my head.  (Alex brother I am forever grateful, a gift you gave me that keeps giving, I swear to god ;)

A huge thank you to Jake Monson for the 2nd set of ears and amazing synth skills and of course Dave WIlkie who was been a mentor to me since I first showed interest in sound production back in 2000.  Dave your take on mixing has elevated this song into a new realms or orginality.

I am forever grateful.

The Greatest Love Story (Lyrics)

Another conversation has lead me to achieve,
The same conclusion I make every time I need a little money.
And if I put my head in the sand and let it slide every time,
I can go from day to day only getting by never really questioning,
Is this the meaning of life?
Is this the meaning of life?

Can I ask something from you,
Has this been something,
You believe in, or just the way it is?
We're not living, just breathing, believing is freeing.
We're losing well being ignoring and never really questioning this

Game we're playing with ourselves.
Can't you see the shame we bring everybody else to get ahead.
I still feel this love, unconditionally, in this life this waking dream, 
This book that will be the greatest love story.

I roll my eyes to this god damn world I think,
Could this really mean there's nothing else.
Or maybe I'm losing my mind.  Paranoia hits a little hard sometimes.
My instinct is that we're on our way back
To something true to ourselves.
And when it shows, I will know, I will let go,
Will let go of this troubled life, that causes,

Pain we do it to ourselves.
Cant you see the shame we bring everybody else to get ahead.
I still fell this love, unconditionally, in this life this waking dream,
This book that will be the greatest love story.

Sinking fast with this broken ship as the
World around us has turned to shit.
All I wanna do is smile.
All i wanna do is smile.

Game we're playing with ourselves,
Can't you see the shame we bring everybody else to get ahead.
I still fell this love, unconditionally, in this life this waking dream,
This book that will be, the Greatest love Story.

After one of the most turbulent years of my life, I thought I'd lost everything.  I spent my time succumbed to fear.  After some time, this one evening I overcame the fear and went out alone. This is what I wrote the next day.

You're not Alone 

<Verse 1> 
I'm hanging so damn low right now that I don't wanna leave this bed. 
But if I could go back to yesterday I would do it all again. 
'Cause I have no regrets, It was as good as it gets 
Even though I went home alone. 
I went out know nobody but I come home on a throne. 

<Bridge> 
This is a Sign 

<Verse 2> 
We all get low and lonely sometimes but that's the way it is. 
How can we appreciate the calm without feeling a breeze. 
This is black and white, its the story of life, 
To feel warm we first feel the cold. 
But in these hard times when we want it to end this is food for the soul.

<Chorus> 
This is a sign, 
That you're not alone, 
You're never on your own, 
I wanna let you know. 
Just read the sign, 
We're in the same boat, 
Trying to stay afloat, 
This is all we know 

<Solo> 

<Chorus> 
This is a sign, 
That you're not alone, 
You're never on your own, 
I wanna let you know. 
Just read the sign, 
We're in the same boat, 
Trying to stay afloat, 
This is all we know 

<Verse 3> 
I'm feeling so damn happy right now I'm a different man. 
I lost all of my inhibitions, now I'm not scared to stand. 
Maybe the people I meet, rubbing of positively have changed my overview on life. 
Or this girl that I met briefly last night, haven't got her off my mind. 

<Outro> 
This is a sign

First things first, I'm looking for a lead guitarist to Collab with.  This song plus others need some finishing touches.  If you've got the skills and the time to add some wild solo's and some ambience to compliment my song writing get in contact through my email (n33maa@gmail.com)and we can get started.

I wrote this track way back in time when everyone was talking about the end of the world.   In my state of depression the end of the world would have been a relief. 'What are the chances of luck changing side? If we die tonight its a blessing in disguise.'

This is the End Lyrics

A feeling inside of me,
Connected reality.
There's a depth not perceived but,
More than the eye can see.
When I'm alone at night
I suddenly realise,
How little there is to this life.
Just bring me sunrise.

If this really if the end,
Embrace the time we have left.
If this really is the end.
If nothing else is right,
What are the chances of luck changing side?
If we die tonight it's a blessing in disguise.
If this is the end.

A false flag reality,
This life is skin deep.
Seems like we don't exist because,
My life begins when this life is over.
My dreams are taking me,
Through the possibility,
That I don't exist because,
My life begins when this life is over.

If this really is the end,
Embrace the time we have left.
If this really is the end.
If nothing else is right,
What are the chances of luck changing side?
If we die tonight it's a blessing in disguise.
If this is the end.

If this really is the end,
We'll trade our lives to feel the warmth of love once again.
If this really is the end.

If this really is the end.
If nothing else is right,
What are the chances of luck changing side?
If we die tonight it's a blessing in disguise.
If this is the end oh no.

This Is The End

Different day, same old shitty story,
Loosing my way, got no love no glory,
Its been downhill from 17, at least from what i perceive.
Once a friend, now a face from the past,
My weekends go by so fast.
There’s no balance in this so called life,
Just work sleep barely survive,
 Words cant describe how it feels to watch us fall apart.

Different girl same old shitty story,
Gave her my world, she gives me her history,
Why do we let the past blind us from gifts given from above.
Loosing faith in fate, someone help me,
How many lessons can one man take?
Moving forward comes easy to you,
But for me i need to break through.
This puzzle of life will be the death of me.

What i’ve taken from this mess,
Its my words that block out happiness,
I need perspective.
Happiness cant be found,
Its just a way of viewing whats around,
This is all part of making me into the man i long to be.

Caught Me Wrong

Have you ever had one of those coincidences that lead you to think that maybe we are all somehow connected?  Maybe a friend calls out of the blue the same day you think of them,  or while you're talking to someone you both say the same thing.  This song is about this interconnection and how at the time of writing the lyrics I was battling with self identity and what it means to be. 

Leave your comments on what you think Roshambo is a metaphor for...

Massive thank you to Jon Caywood (https://soundcloud.com/jon-caywood)...a fuking inspiration and an insane musician, composer, producer, mixing engineer...

Lyrics

Blurring lines between our souls,
Roshambo and let it roll,
Is THIS even real, 
our boDIES cant believe what our MINDS are conceiving.
A wave caught me unprepared,
Swept away my barriers.
I'm One with the music
Its our SOULS that we're feeding our bodies are screaming.

We're architects of a dream,
Energy manifested physically.
I'll let you be my deepest desire
Take me to the edge of infinity.

And so here we meet again
Standing right on the edge,
The lines blurred and hazy.
I don't know where I end, 
and where you begin.
Am i going crazy?
Why are we tryina hide
From this truth we cant deny.
We can feel our souls entwined,
The barier is in our minds
Let go of your beliefs,
Its only truth,
that is all that we seek.
I am you and you are me.
Either that's the truth or I've gone crazy.

We're architects of a dream,
Energy manifested physically.
I'll let you be my deepest desire
Take me to the edge of infinity.

We all lust for mystery
To escape our misery.
Give me a sign, you wanna be here.
Are you alive?
Are you alive or breathing?
I'm not afraid to die
I'm not even alive.

I wandered through the forest of souls,
each held down a rabbit hole.
I found the line between you and I,
its all in the mind.

We're architects of a dream,
Energy manifested physically.
I'll let you be my deepest desire
Take me to the edge of infinity.

Neema Askari - Quarantine (Edisolve Remix)

I got a problem,
I wanna talk about it,
If i bottle this up,
I'll just forget about it,
I wanna do this face to face,
No pretense, No ego's, No Bullshit and no mistakes.
I wanna start with
Some wise words,
They're not my own but you
May have heard,
Be the change you want to see,
If you want to make a difference in this fallacy now,
Talk is cheap and so are actions,
Its not what you do its how its done,
Make the choice, be the voice, follow it up with the real mccoy,
Its a crazy world a hazy world,
Its a fucked up time to find a girl,
We stand by we all get high while the world around us stays deprived.

(Chorus)
I don't wanna die alone,
I got nothing to live for,
But I don't wanna die alone,
Give me something to live for.

Just look
At the current state of affairs,
If like me you prefer to stay unaware.
What we don't see doesn't exist,
But the fact of the matter is this shit persists.
Every day another struggle,
Every day we need to juggle,
separate what we want and what we need,
We need to think about our legacy,
We can Take control of our lives again,
WE CAN be the generation that starts again,
WE CAN make a difference,
WE CAN transcend,
WE CAN be the ones to bring this to an end.
But what this comes down to is,
Can I really risk the chance of bringing up a kid,
The probability is swayed the wrong side
So at the end of my life,

(Chorus)
I don't wanna die alone,
I got nothing to live for,
But I don't wanna die alone,
Give me something to live for.
I don't want to die alone,
I don't want to risk another soul being sucked into this heartless life we call home,
I don't want to die alone,
But when the worst is yet to come don't want the guilt of a soul being sucked into this unknown.

I feel like shit, I can't commit,
And everybody around me has just given in.
It feels like, I'm alone on this journey,
The only prospect is family and that aint happening,
Me aside, I'll drop my pride,
Don't really feel like i've given this a good try,
But my logic has got the better of me,
Do i die alone or bring a child to this make believe.

(Chorus)
I don't wanna die alone,
I got nothing to live for,
But I don't wanna die alone,
Give me something to live for.
I don't want to die alone,
I don't want to risk another soul being sucked into this heartless life we call home,
I don't want to die alone,
But when the worst is yet to come don't want the guilt of a soul being sucked into this unknown.
