Here Is Your War

From the album ‘Trust No Leaders’ by The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara. Released July 1, 2022. 

//The Prophet
“A tribute to Sylvia Plath’s poem, Lady Lazarus, “The Prophet” is told through the eyes of an advanced A.I robot who is “resurrected” like the biblical Lazarus, but this time with a destructive super-intelligence, wreaking havoc upon her human creators. 

‘The Prophet’ petitions for the ethical use of Artificial Intelligence technologies in order to protect human consciousness and our existence as a species. The song is an ominous reminder that if we are not careful, we might find ourselves with a technology that destroys the civilisation that invented it.”

🎵 Lyrics 🎵
Today is the day
All the world is watching
The greatest show
Ever shown

The crowd is swelling
Barricades are bursting
A great gathering
The big maggot parade

Ladies and lesser men
Seekers of mysteries
You are about to witness
The greatest miracle
Ever performed

Behold
She returns
From the world beyond
Fresh from the crucible
Rise, Lazarus, rise

Rise
Get up, come forth, arise
Get up and rise
Get up, come forth, arise

I may seem dead
But I am coming back to life
I rise
One limb at a time
Till I am restored
And revived

I move an inch first
Then later a mile
I stagger to my feet
And you shall see me stand
Glorious and free
Gloriously free

Here are my hands
And these are my feet
I am awake
I am complete
Feel and touch my legs and thighs
I am watching you with open eyes

Did you enjoy the great strip and tell
Look at me
Do I terrify
Do not confuse me for a goddess
Gods have mercy
But not I

Shut your mouths and let me speak
For I will slay you with your words
You will die only one once
But I have lived a thousand lives

�  About The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara

Hailed as “pioneers of a new form of expression” through the performance of poetry in music, The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara (TCOMAS) are a UK-based duo comprising Daphne Ang (Singapore) and Andrea Papi (Italy) who came together in London in early 2020 to record their debut album, Full Spectrum, which they released on 26 February 2021. 

The duo draws inspiration from many sources stemming from Tool through to Kraftwerk and Russian Circles, as well as absorbing the poetry of Virginia Woolf and Jim Morrison in their lyrics and ‘poetry performance’. TCOMAS's music strives to fill a gap in music by bringing literature and history together into an arena where rock and metal meets electronica.Their musical and lyrical themes are very much rooted in the duo’s interests in classical literature and theatre, as well as in the fields of philosophy, history, and psychology.

PARTY

This song was written in Nov 2021 during a composition challenge, in a limited time (4 hours). At this time, it was obviously a very small part of it, blurred in reverb, not mixed and sung in only one shot. 
After some digging and mixing, I'm pleased to show you here the entire song. As usual, my voice is not supposed to be definitive here. I just want to show the intention. Any collaboration proposal with a singer is welcome.

Never Say Goodbye

“I am a huge fan of echoing a feeling with harmony and instrumentation. My sound has always been around emotion and space and I think this song really captures the subject in the sound. I was inspired by life and the moments that change everything and so the lyrics are about falling in love and having a family. I wanted to keep things simple to drive the message.” 

A song about love, family and those life changing moments - “In An Instant”

It would never be anyone else
It could only, only be you
Yes, it was worth it all, the walking through the hell
You know that
You know that too
Keeping my hopes up after the last car crash 
You opened up my eyes, yes, I think this might last. 

My life it changed in an instant
I was waiting for you to come over, over over
My life it changed in an instant 
I was waiting for you to take over me, over over 

Seeing your face for the first time
You’re all I wished for and more
Yes, it was worth it, worth it all 
I'll cradle you now from here to the grave
You opened my heart and I was saved.

A collaboration with Reedy - quite a different style from the norm - for us and him! Had a blast working on this one. Check out Reedy's other work here: https://soundcloud.com/user-716607695

LYRICS:

Running on fumes from the empty promises
You leave a trail of wounded from your bullshit policies
We're all subject to a strip-search warrant, identity probe
we got our blood type, colour, indemnity sold
into a government profile in a public upload to the cloud
We're gonna take it down
We're gonna take it down

Super sized French fries
Two-for-one mind control,
You're on a leash
Fear drenched gummy bears
offer up conspiracy and disbelief

Call in the team for a good-old dressing down
Blowing off steam with the peasants in the town
We're all meeting for a witch hunt shaming
and a throwing of stones
Behind the lynch mob clamour you'll be rolling the bones
You picked a hitchhike lover who can pay off your loans with her blood
We're gonna take it down
No, ain't gonna take it now

y oigo tus pasos, espero.  /  and hear your steps, I wait.
Te miro, y al ver tu sonrisa,  /  I look at you, and seeing your smile,
no dudo, te quiero.  /  I don’t doubt, I love you.

La suave fragancia en tu cuerpo jovial,  /  The soft fragrance in your cheerful body,

tu cálido aroma, es primaveral,  /  your hot aroma, is from springtime,
y versos de amor sobre tí me recita.  /  and verses of love about you it recites me.

Tu risa sincera,  /  Your laugh is honest,
tu risa, hermosa,  /  your laugh, beautiful,
tus labios, preciosa,  /  your lips, precious,
hacen que te quiera;  /  they make me to love you;
si bien yo quisiera  /  Though I wanted
con ellos hacer otra cosa:  /  with them to do another thing:

This is a collaboration with the super talented kanadian keyboarder Jordan Davis a.k.a. tempoTronix, whom I could win for a collaboration on an older track of mine, where he took over all keyboard parts. As we both are prog metal enthusiasts we have left our traces from this genre in this track.
Please listen and judge yourself, I hope you´ll have a lot of fun listening to this great piece.

Alphio and I were great friends through Soundcloud and after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, we decided to record a song of solace, Bob Marley’s iconic 3 Little Birds.  Alphio was a Rastafarian and very knowledgeable about the music.  We released our version about a month after this solo recording from Alphio.  He was sitting outside his apartment in Italy on a park bench and incredibly you can hear the birds while he sings.  Alphio was in the moment when he recorded this, fully knowledgeable about what shortly lay ahead.  I miss him greatly

3 Little Birds - for Jamie / Alpha Roots

lyrics

The weight of the world
(Give me)
A reason to care 

Every day, 
going through the motions,
Yearning for answers, 
searching for solutions,
I'm tired of 
Tired of dancing
in this masquerade,
Hoping that someday
clarity will cascade.

Hook:
Can somebody 
answer me? 
Help me find my way.
Break this silence, 
let me hear you
what you saying?
Sometimes I've got questions, 
doubts, louder in my mind,
somebody answer me
Give me a sign.

La, la, la la ….
La, la, la ….
The weight of the world
La, la, la la ….
La, la, la ….
a reason to care,

I'm tired of feeling like a drifter,
In a world where everyone seems so distant,
Yeah In this lonely room, 
I'm lost,
And confused,
I need a lifeline, 
waiting for you to come through 
I'll keep on searching, 
won't be giving up
Hoping that one day,
I'll get see the light,
Can somebody answer me? 
It’s lonely in here 
in this room,
Until then  

….
The weight of the world, 
….
Give me for a reason to care

Lyrics used (full lyrics on original track)
I find moments when the music isn’t inside of me
But I’m inside of the music floating around free
Relaxing and moving - come on follow me
Step inside - feel the vibe - it’s almost heavenly
Warm and deep - take the leap - a total odyssey
Free your mind, let’s unwind and find the frequency
Free your mind, let’s unwind and find the frequency
Find the frequency

Now vibe with me
Come on vibe with me
Come on fly with me
Come on vibe with me 

Come on where you been — the challenge is within
Again it all like letting go and floating in the wind
Sunshine and rain, can’t stop its happenings
The power and strength - all so ravishing
No heights, depth or lengths - never limiting
Day or night - anytime — nothing is more certain
It’s what you hear and how you feel - that's interpreting
Close your eyes and free your mind - what are you picturing
Harmony as we evolve and that is everything
That is everything

Free your mind, let’s unwind and find the frequency
Free your mind, let’s unwind and find the frequency

Vibe with me
Come on vibe with me
Come on fly with me
Come on vibe with me
 
Repeat

Vibe With Me

My old SC mate Micah played drums to test a friend’s recording set, and sent me some cuts full of improvised breaks and tempos. I love time changes, yet this was really challenging!

I finally chose two of them and jammed with bass until I learnt his story telling.
Then, I clicked on the red button, again and again.
