Stunning......Layer upon layer of dreaminess.

really beautiful thought emotionally and passionately delivered..I love how the music builds and the vocals subtly alter as the poem is "repeated" ..very creative

Thank you from my heart Vicente, thank you so much for this collaboration. It`s a Joy to work with you. 

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886) was an American poet. Little known during her life, she has since been regarded as one of the most important figures in American poetry.

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

Poem. Science Teheran and Oddrun Eikli

I have been playing with this song for a while..  I decided to use 'found sounds' for a lot of the backing music - the photo is from a roadtrip I was lucky enough to take through Europe 3 years ago and the car sounds are variously from a holiday roaming the streets of Wellington NZ.  :-)

***************************************************************

I was dreaming of an ocean, but the only waves I heard
were the slapping of the rubber, as the cars flew down the road,
And the streetlights make a sunset, concrete’s like a castle
Kinda think I’ve been a-roving, I’ve been on the road too long

Let auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind,
I think of you an awful lot, I dream of you sometimes,
I’m driving endless highways, where no-one knows my name
Red flowers growing on the side of the road and the rain falls, just the same

I was dreaming of an ocean, bells that rang and no-one came
Cars keep rolling down that highway in the blind eternal rain,
And the echo is an emptiness I never thought to see,
Guess I’ve thrown away the everything that meant a thing to me

There’s colour in the desert now, a place I once called home,
It’s a greening time, it’s a summer wine, no need to stand alone,
And the sun’s falling down so wild and sweet, I pick it up and run and run
I never knew, I never knew that life could be so fine

The fruit hangs heavy on the vine, the blossom’s on the bean,
some stay the same while others change, some winds that set you free,
I rode the winds , I climbed the cliffs, the mountains to the sea,
And now I stand where I began, hello, it’s only me

Let auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind
I think of you an awful lot, it helps to pass the time,
I’m driving endless highways, where no-one knows my name
red flowers growing on the side of the road and the rain falls just the same

Dreaming of an Ocean..  but the only waves I heard...

Music/Arrangement/Production/Vocals/Lyrics by Achazia


I need a place to fall apart.
Where I can heal my longing heart.
So, please tell me where you are.

I am walking through the  lands.
As I close my empty hands
and leave it all behind.

Strange eyes
Blue as the hopeful sky
There's something 'bout the way you look at me. I'm mesmerized

Strange eyes
Making waves inside
There's something 'bout the way you look at me. I'm mesmerized


I can hear the siren's call
Would I rise or would I fall
So. please tell me where you are.

I saw you standing there alone
In the mist on your own
Take these empty hans.

Strange eyes
Blue as the hopeful sky
There's something in the way you look at me. I'm mesmerized

Strange eyes
Making waves inside
There's something in the way you look at me. I'm mesmerized

Strange eyes

LYRICS:
In the cool of the Arizona morning
There are no words to say
The sun lights up
The eastern sky
At the dawn…….
Of a brand new day

The tumbleweed is turning
Looking to put down some roots
Maybe it’s just my calling
To have dust ……
All over my boots 

I don’t see all there is to see
I don’t hear all there is to hear
There’s light and there’s shade and something in-between
And the distance …………drawing near

I’ve got dust all over my boots
I’ve got dust all over my boots
I’ve got dust all over my boots
I’ve got dust  …………. all over my boots

The slow and steady beat
Of these hooves upon the ground
Horse and rider as one
And at peace ………
With that sound

I don’t see all there is to see
I don’t hear all there is to hear
There’s light and there’s shade and something in-between
And the distance …………drawing near 

I’ve got dust all over my boots
I’ve got dust all over my boots
I’ve got dust all over my boots
I’ve got dust  …………. all over my boots

Dust All Over My Boots

Cover Born to be blue ( 1946) Written by Mel Tormé and Robert Wells. Chet Baker is going to cover in 1965. This version is a tribute to  both.

Born To Be Blue By Sucole & 6qsax

I recently re-discovered this daft song and decided to share it with you.   I first 'performed' it live aeons ago, at a very serious spiritual workshop, quite spontaneously (and a bit loudly),  after a day of intense meditation and self-discovery.  Although many appeared to enjoy the song, there was an abiding sense of disgrace at my flippancy and foolishness.  That sense of rebuke and naughtiness delights me still...

An absurd song indeed.. for absurd times :-)

**************************************


She’s fallen in love with a teapot
don’t ask me how can it be done
for I’ve watched her in action caressing
the smooth round and shine of his bum

The grip of her flesh on his handle
the knuckles sharp gleaming and white
just the way that her tongue darts and moistens
when she reaches for him in the night

I’ve studied with great fascination
for it’s novel I’m sure you’ll agree
Is she limited by saturation
or can she constantly consummate tea?

think I’m falling in love with my teapot
I  guess I can see how it’s done
for I’ve studied with great fascination
the smooth round and shine of his bum

She's fallen in love with a Teapot!

- Lyrics -
The Snowfall
Sprinkles hope and light
Crystals in a sparkling flight
Snowbirds
Flashing up into the air
Sweet, soft, without fear
Rustling down
In winter wind
Waiting for the Joy of Spring
Snowfall ...

Snowfall. Feat. Syrel and Oddrun Eikli
