Cosmic Bubble - rough mixes

This is a song about the phenomenon of poeple want to get influenced. 
Written, performed and recorded by Neli CoKo, 2021, all rights reserved.

Lyrics:
You wanna be influenced
By influencers
You want to be entertained
By entertainers

You follow foreign people
To make them influence you

What is going on 4 x

What a strange disease
You become a voyeur at least
Make foreign people wash your brain
You´re far away from thinking free

What is going on 4 x 

You´ve got the fear of missing out
FOMO
Fear

Lyrics:
Beware of the beast inside you
Be aware of the beast inside you
1. Treachery is the mortal blow
to every kind of faith
No relationship can grow
Behind a doubled face
Beware of the beast inside you
Be aware of the beast inside you
2. Treachery is the brotherly kiss
with a dagger on one´s back
Foreside smiling innocence
Back side the attack
Beware of the beast inside you
Be aware of the beast inside you
3. Treachery is inexcusable
A scar that never heals
Treachery is unforgettable 
Once it is revealed
Beware of the beast inside you
Be aware of the beast inside you

Neli CoKo  Treachery

Sometimes times are rough. Walk on ;) 
Written, performed and recorded by Neli CoKo, 2021, all rights reserved. Thank you for listening

Lyrics (c) Neli CoKo:
1) 
When you´re tired 
But get no sleep
When you´re hungry
Nothing to eat
When there´s no ground
Under your feet
When you listen
But don´t hear the beat
Be strong
Walk on
The road is long
2)
Raise your head
Stretch your spine
Trust yourself
You´ll be fine
Find your pride
Take your time
Don´t give up 
You still shine
Be strong
Walk on
The road is long
3)
There´s a long road
Ahead
Save your power
Fight off the dread
Play it cool, Guy
Don´t get mad
Cause there´s a future
Inside your heart and head
Be strong
Walk on
The road is long

Walk On

I was in love with West Side Story from age 5 on. 
This is a free interpretation of Somewhere.

Original soundtrack from West Side Story written by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. 

Edit: I am so sad Stephen Sondheim died a few days after this release. So I declare this interpretation as my tribute to him. Thank you so much for your everlasting romantic poetry Mr. Sondheim. Rest in peace. 

Vocals and backings created and recorded by Neli CoKo.

Thank you for listening :)
Headphones welcome

Lyrics:
Baby, the world is going down
Baby, the world will sink and drown
War and destruction all around
Let´s play our favorite music loud

Save the last dance, save the last dance for me

Baby, The world is in a mess
Warlords are playing bloody chess
Split and reign and suppress
Babe, I put on my finest dress

Save the last dance, save the last dance for me

Baby, we have a wild romance
Baby, you give my life a chance
Maybe the world comes to an end
Let´s put on the dancing shoes and dance

Save the last dance, save the last dance for me

Baby, the whole world´s got the blues
Baby, there´s nothing left to lose
Baby, you know that I love you
Kiss me, let´s dance the whole night through

Lyrics:
I´ve never known a router
Guiding me the way 
I am just a signal
Sent out every day.

Radiowaves, 
I got lost in radiowaves

Sending out a signal
Does anyone recieve it?
It seems to me, my signal
Has the wrong frequency

Radiowaves, 
I got lost in Radiowaves

A little tiny star
That can´t stop it´s pulsation
Sending out vibrations
In search of affiliation

Radiowaves, 
I got lost in Radiowaves

Depending on transmission 2x

Lyrics:
I went out
after a long time. 
I saw hustle
hate and crime.

Don´t lose hope, resist.

Damned un-cosy 
around the world, 
adult desperate 
boys and girls.

Don´t lose hope, resist.

Seem no better 
times ahead.
People start their days 
filled up with dread.

Don´t lose hope, resist.

Confusion seems to 
rule the day.
Even sunny days 
seem to be grey.

Don´t lose hope, resist.

Where is beauty? 
Where is faith?
A seed in the heart, 
which we must raise

Don´t lose hope, resist.

Hope

Lyrics:
If I got a dime
Every time
I was selfish
Then I would be a rich girl

If I got a dime
Every time
I was unfair
Then I would be a rich girl

I´m sorry 4x

If I got a dime
Every time
I was impatient
Then I would be a rich girl

If I got a dime 
Every time
I was bossy
Then I would be a rich girl

I´m sorry 4x
 
So if I hurt you
Believe me, it´s true
I wasn´t wise enough then
At least, now I know better.

If I Got A Dime

Lyrics:
So far away
I am sitting here
And you are sitting there 
So far away
I ´m here on my own 
And youre there on your own
So far away
You´re my shiny star
I love you from far
So far away
One day you´ll be here
Take me in your arms
now you´re far away.

Neli CoKo feat. RS Frawstakwa - Peace

A tribute to my youth in the old docks and industry areas.
Written, performed and recorded by Neli CoKo, 2022, all rights reserved.
Thank you for listening :)

Lyrics:
That was the hood

I dream of the lost places
That used to be my hood.
Decay and rotten industry, 
The sceneries were good.

That was the hood.

Walls and lamps of concrete, 
Broken glass around
Gravel, rails and switches
Covering the ground. 

That was the hood.

In pale dirty streetlights
Rats from right to left
While gangsters round the corner
Are planning their next theft.

That was the hood.

When you have to live here
It´s good to know some names.
But if you do, you feel safe 
Protected in the game. 

That was the hood.

At night no one around here 
But restless freaks like me
I miss sneaking around
My rotten industry

That was the hood.

Thank you for listening :) 
This song is a one-night-jam. The vocals could be sung ways better, It is a one-shot, the very first recording I did. But it had a kind of charme and so I kept it. 

Lyrics:
1.
I am so delighted by your presence
I am just so thankful you exist
Under millions of people around
You´re the one I kiss
You are the love of my life
2.
We are bound in a different dimension
No matter how near or far 
And we both feel a kind of tension
Under all the scars
You are the love of my life 
3.
We share a so much deeper understanding
We filled each others jar
It´s amazing to realize slowly
How one of a kind you are.
You are the love of my life

Lyrics:
Sitting in a taxi
It is dark outside
Looking out the window
At pictures passing by

I´m just passing by in a taxi
In a capsule

Houses, cars and people
In grey, black and white
Look so large and distant
In electric light

I´m just passing by in a taxi
In a capsule

Neonlights and dim glow
Abstract sighs of light
In lonesome lost places
Attract creatures of the night. 

I´m just passing by in a taxi
In a capsule

Lyrics:
I´m quite disconnected
From main reality
Got no ties, got no debts
no ideology
AFK, I´m offline AFK, I´m offline
I am out of reach for
Generated needs
Don´t follow, don´t subscribe,
don´t eye 
the privacy of peeps
AFK, I´m offline AFK, I´m offline
I am from the underdogs
working trash, low income employees
I prefere a simple life
without applause, behind the scenes
AFK, I´m offline AFK, I´m offline
I live beside the screen
Fantasy is energy
I am not a target for 
custom made dreams
AFK, I´m offline AFK, I´m offline

This song was inspired by a conversation with https://soundcloud.com/roger-b-train 
He had taken an amazing picture of a giant flock of crows in the sky. We were sharing thoughts of the symbolism of the crows at the end of summer. Parts of the lyrics are taken from the original chat. 
Thank you for listening :)

Lyrics:
"The crows will be coming again soon
Crops getting closer to be taken down 
Crazy sight to see day after day until solstice" (Rogers words)
"I hear, i can hear them coming
In my garden the harvest is done
Morning dew don´t vanish anymore
Mother nature ist tired
Light gets more pale and soon the dark days are there" (my words)
I´m still excited about the circle of the year from solstice to solstice
Crows will be coming soon
Foggy days, deep sun, long shadows
Old summer is like the last hug of a beloved grandma, 
We don´t want to let go. But we know she´ll be gone soon.
