Shoegaze Anthem

https://youtu.be/5O2Wstez5N0

Gather round
the wishing tree
space givers and
stage divers...

Black cloud 
with silver lining
whatever your plan, 
there's no no fool proof timing

Plan B is  - Just in case
If all goes haywire, get back to base


I see what you're looking at
While winging the quarantine
Like a hermit in long gone days
pacing up & down this tiny space

Sip the wine, bind your time
just a walk could be a crime
Persistant we all must be
Until we're finally free

Plan B is  - a safety net
if things get hectic, hedge your bet

solo

Plan B is a great escape
Situation is not yet shipshape.

Masks and screens
Sprays & mace
When again
can we show our face?

Plain sailing (if all goes well)
No failing (but who can tell)

Plan B is  - Just in case

Plan B (just in case)

You are therre

You are there

You are there...Bix Bixler

There are someone I really annoy, I cannot forget you then I delete holly shit memories. I never forgive them....
The song like this.

Delete (Kimonosleeve)

Maraboo
Oh oh it’s time you knew
The promise for change
that was in your range
is overdue

Who were you
Oh oh my Maraboo ?..
The question could trace
a scar on my face
You gave no clue

Your voodoo
Oh oh my Maraboo
has no effect on me
this time I play with you
Clever though you seem
for all that self esteem
Now do you look into this mirror
no-one there ? - how cruel but 
no-one even cares
to come to your rescue

All those days gone
with more said than done
It’s time you knew
Preach now where to 
Maraboo ?

Now I’ve caught you
Oh oh sweet kangaroo
You’re not what you claim
You’re a fucking shame
I see through you

Are you blue
Oh oh poor Maraboo ?..
The promise for change
that was in your range
is overdue

All those days gone
with more said than done
It’s time you knew
Preach now where to 
Maraboo ?

Are you just numb
to what you’ve become ?
Were you once true ?
I see through you
Maraboo

MOTHERSTATION

I’m looking for an explanation
Coming up with thoughts as loud as thunder
Feeling good 
Feeling dazed
Feeling much the same

I’m looking for a destination
I’m trying hard just to keep connected
Feeling new
Still the same
Feeling like forever
But I’m never getting better


Empty Spaces
Motherstation at a glance
Superstation
Superstation

I’m looking for a new sensation
headlong drive swelling eyes that wander 
Feeling blue 
Feeling crazed
Feeling much the same

I tune in to another station
hypnotized by the sounds that got out
Feeling used
Feeling fake
Trying to remember
That I’m never getting better

Empty spaces
Stupid faces at the left
Superstation
Motherstation…

(Solo/Bridge)

Empty Spaces
Motherstation at a glance
Superstation
Superstation
I’m not going too far
Nowhere
But it won’t be long
Empty spaces
Mother Station

STEREOINDIE---Seed-by-stereoindie (Ruy Gonzales)

Wherever the soul goes

Song made in 2012.
Remix January 2021.

Music Studio 2 (19 tracks)

Native MS2 Instruments
Forum Xewton instruments
Digital D1
Synthmaster One
Synth One (Audiokit)

After two years working with my software I was able to make a composition like this one that I present today in 2012. It was never released on Soundcloud, so several original MS2 instruments have been replaced using some of the technology that I use today.

Many comments that people who listen to my music leave me say that I have a great influence from Vangelis ... and it is true. In fact, this theme is inspired after seeing again, I don't know how many times, Blade Runner and it is possibly where that influence is more clearly noticed.

I dedicate the topic to May Masuya, who was kind enough to say goodbye to me when I left this platform (SC) almost two months ago, for the delicacy of her music and for the collection of positive comments that I will always keep.

The time travel is over. Soon new Tracks.

Happy New Year to everyone.

Wherever the soul goes

Similar to my last song, this song is also in 7/4 time.  It uses a pattern 3-1-3 for the versus.  I currently plan to have a series of songs using the 7/4 meter.  I have written 6 songs at this time and I am slowly releasing them.  They will all be on this playlist as they are released:

Mysteries in the Garden


Verse 1:
There are many mysteries in my garden
I look at the plants that are growing
I don’t know what this is and that is
Do I pull them or is there a pardon
Might it be something I love so glowing
Something with lots of pop and fizz

I want my vegetables to be free to grow
They give me such a wondrous glow
I want them to spread their yield
I feel like a farmer in a great field
Eating their bounty is my great pleasure
It is something that I so treasure

Chorus:
I don’t know all of these little plants
Growing there in the dirt with ants
There are only a few I recognize
When they are tall they don’t tell lies
The tomato and carrot look so familiar 
I don’t need a book or special filter

Verse 2:
The books show examples of different plants
Like other books tell about how to dance
I wish I could separate all of the things growing
It would give me a sense that I am glowing

Is the plant something I want to later eat
Perhaps cook in a stew with some fine meat
I don’t want them killing the plants I love
Smothering them with their in grip of glove

Chorus (at half speed):

Mysteries In The Garden

This is a French classic from the 70’s, and a good excuse to collaborate with my good old SoundCloud friend Vincent chansons bleues. Vincent posted a previous mix of this track made with a 4-track recorder, which we both thought had some technical restrictions, hence this new mix.

We intended this version to sound different from the original and existing covers, although we love them. Our arrangement inspiration is explicitly quoted in the track (can you name it? It's very international...).

Vincent (https://soundcloud.com/vincent-chansons-bleues): steel "Nashville" guitar, 12-string, backing vocal
Alexis: lead vocal, rythm guitar, nylon guitar, mix

LYRICS

Il voyage en solitaire
Et nul ne l'oblige à se taire
Il chante la terre
Il chante la terre

Et c'est une vie sans mystère
Qui se passe de commentaire
Pendant des journées entières
Il chante la terre

Mais il est seul un jour
L'amour l'a quitté, s'en est allé
Faire un tour de l'autre côté
D'une ville où y avait pas de place pour se garer

Il voyage en solitaire
Et nul ne l'oblige à se taire
Il sait ce qu'il a à faire
Il chante la terre

Il reste le seul volontaire
Et puisqu'il n'a plus rien à faire
Plus fort qu'une armée entière
Il chante ma terre

Mais il est seul...

Et voilà le miracle en somme
C'est lorsque sa chanson est bonne
Car c'est pour la joie qu'elle lui donne
Qu'il chante la terre

Mais il est seul...
