DJ Iron Icey - Instrumental Rap Breaks (Mixtape)

Music: Jan Schonander

I published a vocal version of this a while back, but originally I had intended this to be instrumental only. Turns out I listen to this a bit so I thought maybe there are some listeners out there that might enjoy it too.

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

@rick-4-1 on drums

SLEEP LIKE YOU

For you 
I’m going to find a new place - for you
I’m going to buy a new heart - for you
I’m going to build a new bed - for you
Slip like any new kind of sail 
Swoop like any brave kind of bird
Into heather, purple heather 
On our pillows
Into clover, fresh picked clover
In our minds
But no-one I know
Sleeps like you do
No-one I’ve ever known - except you
But no-one I know
Sleeps like you do
No-one I’ve ever known - except you
Do you want to dream?
For you 
I’m going to find a new place - for you
I’m going to buy a new heart - for you
I’m going to build a new bed - for you
Slip like any new kind of sail 
Swoop like any brave kind of bird
Into heather, purple heather 
On our pillows
Into clover, fresh picked clover
In our minds
But no-one I know
Sleeps like you do
No-one I’ve ever known - except you
But no-one I know
Sleeps like you do
No-one I’ve ever known - except you
Do you want to dream?

Sleep Like You

For the ‘different’, people the ones who stood out, who didn’t fit in. The 'odd' ones who were picked on in school, distrusted as adults, stayed away from. Maybe you know them, maybe you are them. This is a song for them/us. 

Johnny and Mary found each other and in their own tiny world they allow each other to be who they are.

Delighted to share the guitar duties with the fantasitic Johnny Mc Farlane!  Thank you my friend.

Halfway Between Here and New Orleans ©
Original - Riff Beach ( RiffWerx - 2016, Revised 2022 )
Lady Luck…..
Well, she left me out in Reno
Just one more throw
Before the red-eye home
You know I just wanna’ hop a streetcar
Or, maybe, take a shiny limousine
I’m so tired of being crammed into airplanes
That kinda’ travel just leaves me feeling mean
(Chorus)
Well, there’s sure something in living sunrise to sunset…..
But, I’m not sure exactly what it means?
And, just some thoughts on my way back to you
Halfway - between here - and New Orleans
Remember that time down on Decatur
Or, when we first met on Magazine?
We knew that sooner - or - later
We’d end up halfway between here….
…..and New Orleans
And somewhere over the Mighty Mississippi
You know you’re right there in all my dreams
All the time we’ll spend together
Halfway between Here…. and ….. New Orleans

My sister and I wrote this rather jazzy track a few moons ago. Was recently remastered by my lovely Sander. We hope you enjoy this instrumental number full of gorgeous strings from my big sister Jane. 😊🎶❤️🎻

MISS YOU ALREADY...Annie Smart & Jane Hamilton

This track was created to illustrate the illusion or delusion of time. Time is a man made fear mongering construct... where there's "never enough time," or time is always deemed to be "running out!" Running out for what? Chasing the illusion that doing, doing, doing to have, have, have what never seems to ever be enough for people... especially in western "colonized" society? So many chase the illusion, they don't acknowledge their levels of entitlement in "buying into" the doing to have ensures they even live until the next day, let alone into elder age, to enjoy what they were dictated they "should, could, and would have..." if only they buy into the grand delusion of making the ten percenters that own everything more material wealth. 

Western society bought into the construct "if we do to have, we can have it all, and retire into a life of luxury... where we are entitled to pay the same prices we paid earlier in our lives for things and services, and we can pay servitude only wages to our lineages pretending to be totally oblivious to the fact we are the reason they have to work multiple jobs in order to "make ends meet." The mindset of a lot of folks is... "We worked hard for what we have and we should be able to sit back and enjoy it, we've earned it, we're retired." Sadly, too many do not see they are simply blind to it being part of the grand delusion by design. The folks who "sold you" that "bill of goods" never gave a rats arse about ensuring the work environments, or the natural environments were or continued to be safe for us and our lineages. Instead we've paid taxes to government agencies who permitted and continue to permit and approve the poisoning of what was once true mother nature led health care into sanctioned only pharmaceutical drugs that freely advertise their toxicity, we feed our kids and ourselves products like cereals, juices, and candy laced with chemicals and petroleum products and cry out "WHY" in angst... despite the evidence being right in front of our faces... if we choose to see it, hear it, not mock, belittle, and bully; but instead, BE KIND to those freely speaking about these truths out of love for you and the planet. Time is running out; but not in acquiring the wealth of the world... but, in seeing how we've been causing our own ailments and painful existences and demise... by believing one should do more, have more... at any cost to others, including our own families... to be or feel superior. Time's running out to see it's all simply a huge game and we are all pawns, unless we decide to pack up the game board and refuse to play.

'Does The Flame Ever Go Out' was a question I asked myself recently whilst sitting in my music studio. This track was the answer to my question.

Lost Footprints In The Sands Of Time

Does The Flame Ever Go Out

Inspired by Breaking Bad and No Country For Old Men

Notorious

Delighted to present my latest collaboration with The Phaige, one half of Soundcloud stalwarts One and Other, alongside Jaime J Ross. This is a trippy, exotic backcloth with a cold North wind blowing through. 
Gary once again amazed with his creativity and his multi-layered production. He has such a keen ear for detail and brushstrokes to enhance and improve. What grabbed me from the outset was the slinky, fluid bass playing, but there are many levels across the frequencies to hook you in. Always a fun process to work with him.

All instruments , artwork and production: ThePhaige
Vocals and lyrics: Nick

Come with me with tales of magic, mountain spirits, hail and snow from your motherland.
Tell me secrets never told of winters bleak and hardship in the biting winter cold - aah

Take me to hidden places where food and love and family keep you warm
I’ll ride with you on Northern winds through deepest valleys and the blackest storms

I’ll sing with you while we are drunk with laughter in our eyes
I’ll listen to your strange new words of love from the North

Fly me faster through the stars to universes only we will ever know
Keep me close and make sweet memories for now and evermore

From North - The Phaige with Nicholas Ridiculous (lyrics in description)

Thank You for listening.  I appreciate.

Dave

Believe it or not:
DRAWBRIDGE was created at my home studio and referenced a hugely popular pop song called Driver's License by Olivia Rodrigo. The song sounds nothing like Driver's License but drew inspiration from this song's sound textures and arrangement. DRAWBRIDGE was crafted to deliver an emotional tension and buildup in a similar fashion.

Draw Bridge
By David Husted

V1
The universe gives up her memory
As time goes back to sleep
The Vast so relatively small before
The still begins to dream
Gravity reach out and compose               
A new cosmos, a new symphony
 
We presuppose our stories while we craft our little biographies
Shutting out infinities inside little rooms of quantum suffering
and who could have dreamed that our heart beats in everything
And this new beginning is an old song received
 
V2
Without my thoughts this pen still writes
I will travel to the end 
Where time is running out, 
without traces , without breath
We dance between the atoms 
With the Shamans and Ignorance.    

We presuppose our stories while we craft our little biographies
Shutting out infinities inside little rooms of quantum suffering
and who could have dreamed that our heart beats in everything
And this new beginning is an old song received

ch

somehow I knew, I knew, but I could not cross that Bayou
This castle is magic please lower down that Drawbridge 
Space slept with time so fine just before the Big Bang
Then gravity and light beams exploded on the main screen

Star dust, black holes, white dwarf super nova
Then planets, imagine they somehow even managed to make us
Trees, this breeze, this miracle of life seething
Madly, so madly love lowered down that Drawbridge

outro
We presuppose our stories while we craft our little biographies
Shutting out infinities inside little rooms of quantum suffering
and who could have dreamed that our heart beats in everything                    
And this new beginning is an old song received  received
From before the next heart beat begins

Drawbridge

The Castle

KITTY GANG!

something different
A Sonic experiment. headphones would be the desired medium.
If you can just let your mind do nothing at all,  
not even try to latch onto the 'music' . 
alot going on here yet nothing at all . 
your thoughts after i would like :)

Cold hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight
Red is gray and yellow, white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion

Pinprick holes in a colourless sky
Let's insipid flickers of light pass by 
The mighty light of ten thousand suns
Challenges infinity but is soon gone
Night time, to some a brief interlude
To others the fear of solitude

Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsitter people look back and lament
About another day's useless energy spent

Impassioned lovers, they wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young

Cold hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight
Red is gray and yellow, white 
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion

Brave Helios, wake up your steeds
Bring the warmth the countryside needs

did it take some time after 
even as they did play?
did it take some time after 
or was it all just a laughter?
did it not take you by surprise
how my world wells with tears?
just thinking about it 
how the mess begins, darling 
how the mess, the mess begins, darling 

only there in the night 
when it starts to fall 
only there in the night 
do I see my fault 
only there in the night 
incognito deal 
only there in the night 
deliberate deal 
only there in the night 
reaction is served 
only in serving the cause of all causes 
only in serving the cause
does the dust settle 

how long will it take me
only to feel for you?

Smog Part One

The Music Video

Smog Part One (video on youtube)

Last month my friend Jeff/Stonerjazz sent me a preview of this song he was about to release (https://soundcloud.com/user-911083679/01-i-still), and he was so kind to ask me if I wanted to add anything to it. We had been planning a collaboration for months, so I happily started to work on it, recording a few instrumental tracks. I got inspired from Jeff's amazing lyrics and vocal harmonies, and we're both happy about the way this tune turned out to sound.
A wonderful collaboration that we'd like to dedicate to all of you SoundCloud maestros, wishing everyone a happy new year. Peace, love and happiness...

LYRICS:

captured in the eddy of the river bright, the still life painted with the colors of the soul, the dead-eyed and the damaged wander through the landscape of the misty light without compassion for our plight.
even in the darkest night there’s drops of paint, notes from my guitar, and tiny light that usher in such lush delights, though worthless in the merchants eye, the maestro has the wings to fly…
it’s a big mess, got a hole in my chest, taken down and crushed like apples in a press, i confess to everything i’ve ever done. every single one of us… on the run.
when minds are quiet, the stink of revolution floats in the air, and the overlords they waste away in deep despair… slippin in the deep end not so quietly. fantastic sights!!
tin can rattle in the back, living in a tiny shack, standing in the middle of a two lane blacktop gazing at a cloud i saw some thirty years ago.
