■概要(Overview)
今回はピアノはお休みです。
鳥になりたいなぁ。良いよなぁ。でも鳥の中でも色々とルールとか合って大変だったりするのかなぁ。
頑張れ、地球！
There's a break from piano this time.
I want to be a bird. That would be nice. But I wonder if it would be difficult for birds because there are all sorts of rules to follow.
Hang in there, Earth!

■歌詞
ハンバーガーをかじって
浜辺を散歩していたわ
そしたらトンビやってきて
ハンバーガー飛んで行った

はやてのように　風をあやつり
獲物を狙っている　トンビ！

優雅に大空を　飛んでいる
翼広げ

いつか私が体を離れる時が来た後はあんな風に
高く遠く太平洋の向こうまで飛んでいきたいな

想いを馳せる Happy Free Flight!
見つけ出せるさ　Wind Rail, Yeah!
遠ざかるトンビ　指カメラで捉えた


海岸沿いの街灯に
トンビが一羽とまってる
さしずめ監視活動ね
あの子のクレープ　危ない

音もたてずに　獲物をさらう
まるで忍者のようね　トンビ！

王者の風格で　空を飛ぶ
風を　読んで

風のレールに身体を預けて　どこまでだって飛んでいきたいわ
はるか遠く　苦しみも　悲しみも　きっと追いつけない場所

夢を見ていた Happy Free Flight!
見つけ出せるさ　Wind Rail, Yeah!
麦わら帽子　投げ捨てて　走り出す

今は飛べない
殻は硬く閉ざされて何も見えないけど
輪廻転生
するには全力で走りぬくしか・・ない！ない！ない！
いないいないばぁ！

いつか私が体を離れる時が来た後はあんな風に
高く遠く太平洋の向こうまで飛んでいきたいな
想いを馳せる Happy Free Flight!
見つけ出せるさ　Wind Rail, Yeah!
遠ざかるトンビ　指カメラで捉えた

■Lyrics (translation)
Biting into a hamburger
I was strolling along the beach
Then came a kite bird
And my hamburger flew away
Like a swift wind, controlling the breeze
A kite bird aiming for its prey!
Gracefully soaring through the vast sky
With wings spread wide
Someday, when my body is set free, I'd like to fly just like that
High and far, beyond the Pacific Ocean
Imagining the dream, Happy Free Flight!
I'll find it, Wind Rail, Yeah!
The distant kite bird, caught through my finger-camera

A kite bird perched on a streetlight along the coast
It's probably on surveillance duty
That kid's crepe looks dangerous
Silently stealing its prey
Like a ninja, the kite bird!
Flying with the dignity of a ruler
Reading the wind
I want to entrust my body to the wind rail and fly anywhere
To a place far away, where suffering and sadness can't catch up
Dreaming of it, Happy Free Flight!
I'll find it, Wind Rail, Yeah!
Throwing away my straw hat, I start to run

For now, I can't fly
The shell is tightly closed, and I can't see anything
Reincarnation
The only way is to run with all my might—no choice, no choice!
Peek-a-boo!
Someday, when my body is set free, I'd like to fly just like that
High and far, beyond the Pacific Ocean
Imagining the dream, Happy Free Flight!
I'll find it, Wind Rail, Yeah!
The distant kite bird, caught through my finger-camer

Happy Flight(いないいないばぁ)

When Love Begins

Lyrics:
She was wrong for me
I knew it from the start
I'm not very smart
I left a spare key under the mat
To my broken heart

I'm kicking it
One step ahead of the blues
I'm kicking it 
One step ahead of the blues
I'm sleeping it off in those Sunday pews

My boss had an epiphany
When I was working at the mortuary
He said: Dig them holes faster!
"This business has no room for uncertainty!"

That may be
Oh, can't you see?
When I'm working for you
I just don't feel like I'm being me
When I'm working for you I ain't following my muse
And there she goes...
(There she goes!!!!)

I'm kicking it
One step ahead of the blues
I'm kicking it 
One step ahead of the blues
Hey friends, won't you help me spread the news?

I get all my blues for free
Don't you know I'm so low I can't see?
A lousy day...
A lousy pay...
I'm a lousy lay...
I think I'm everything
That everybody say

I'm kicking it
One step ahead of the blues
I'm kicking it 
One step ahead of the blues
I'm sleeping it off in those Sunday pews

One Step Ahead Of The Blues

Well, I'm not quite alone.
I have you, I guess.
I always knew I'd be a mess.
What more can I say,
My life's in disarray. 
And I keep cavin' in to stress. 

And it makes me fuckin' crazy.
Yes, it makes me quite insane.
Why can't no one fuckin' pay me
to exist within this game? 

Behind on mortgage payments. 
Ain't got no food to eat.
I'm 'bout to lose my children.
Shufflin' my feet.
I swear, they're tryin' to kill us.
I won't claim defeat.
I will take this to the street.

A-Der Schmetterling

Haven’t been on the cloud much lately. Been travelling across the southern Australian coastline, to the beautiful and remote Kangaroo Island. Its beauty seemed strangely juxtaposed to the horrors going on elsewhere. The contrast can wreak havoc with your moods!

Haunting Moods of Change

"I Just Can't Live Without You" (Instrumental)

First of all, I would like to wish a happy springtime to all of my fantastic friends here on SoundCloud!  

Without further ado, here is the full instrumental version of a short demo song I made on September 5, 2024. Originally this tune came to me when thinking about the chords and progressions in my earlier song "Peace".

This song was made, played and recorded by me as MIDI and with e.g. the following instruments and sounds: Yamaha Montage 8 (TX816 Electric Piano), Spectrasonics Keyscape (Roland MKS-20 EP sound), Arturia Jup-8 V (Horns), Arturia Synthx V, UVI Ultramini & Arturia Mini-V (Minimoog bass sound), Arturia JUN-6V (the "55 Pop Corn" sound, cf. Juno-6 Synthesizer), Native Instruments Session Guitarist - Electric Mint; and other sounds from the UVI SonicPass VST library including UVI PX Memories (cf. Memorymoog mod), UV-XXX (from the UVI "OB Legacy", horns & the brass sound), UVX-10P (cf. Roland JX-10, the flute sound) and Marcato Strings (from UVI Emulation II). The drums come from Native Instruments Abbey Roads 1980s Drummer, layered with the fantastic Simmons SDS 5 style kick & snare drums from UVI Beatbox Anthology 2.  

Recorded, edited and mixed in Cubase Pro 14, with some significant help from iZotope Neutron. Mastered in Cubase Pro with Ozone 11.


I'm certainly not a lyricist but I got some help with the lyrics! And the idea was that the lyrics would go something like this:


VERSE 

My life is good 
having you by my side
We face the future together
The years roll by
... 
It wouldn’t be the same without you
... 


CHORUS 

I just thought that you should know
I never wanna let you go...
... love you so
I just thought that you should know 
I never wanna let you go
... I just can’t live without you


I Just Can't Live Without You

I always wanted to make a sonic companion to the last song Bitzone, Frawstakwa, and I made together, “What Difference Does It Make.” I finally got my chance. This one came together real fast. Bitzone sent me a raw beat, I asked Frawstakwa to kick it off, and then I made some arrangement adjustments and laid down my lyrics and vocals based on Frawstakwa’s. Bitzone then finished it up and bada-boom, gotta move, gotta shake!

Massive thanks to Frawstakwa for bringing the fresh ideas and original verse and chorus vocals. And big thanks to Bitzone for always make the tracks more vivid than I could imagine. 

May there always be at least a little time to bounce in your week!

Lyrics: 

Hold up
Lemme tell you
What I’m talking about
To the beat
With a breakdown
That can make you bounce 

Here we are
Coming through
With whatever it takes
Full force
On these fools
All up in your face 
Show and prove
Break it down
To the drum 
And the bass
That good old
One two
Gotta move 
Gotta shake
Bada-boom
Something 
That you can feel
But wait
If you could feel 
Anything at all
Feeling great
Letting it flow
Mind body and soul
On my way
That’s how it goes
So the people them know
See you later

Hold up
Lemme tell you
What I’m talking about
To the beat
With a breakdown
That can make you bounce 

I’m just your everyday reverie of an emcee
You see
I’m but a memory of the way 
You say it be
On this beat 
You project the street 
On the hit of the kick 
The click 
Boom, respect it’s the fire of the heat 
It’s the sweat dripping from the meat 
You expect flowing from that bass 
That slow tempo that’s got you feeling 
You on the creep, you on the chase
Brace fo the bounce putting you in the some headspace 
Race everyone to hear every ounce so tie up yo shoelace 
And let’s go 
Yo, lettin’ the people know

Hold up
Lemme tell you
What I’m talking about
To the beat
With a breakdown
That can make you bounce

The flow is
Summoned 
On command
Dig deep
Within 
Without a plan
Improvise
And
Ka-blam 
That is called conviction
Can you understand
The definition
What is your religion?
Damn
It takes blind faith
To hope that one can trust
In what is true 
What is real
For real
So what it do?
We are here to
Be seen
Be heard
Be who
We truly are 
Hold up then
Please
Tell us
Who are you?
 
Hold up
Lemme tell you
What I’m talking about
To the beat
With a breakdown
That can make you bounce 

I got the feeling the bounce is appealing
Now that the ceiling’s been breaked
We got the unwilling to denounce appearing 
How it is that they never been waked 
Allow the revealing of the fake
Watch out we congealing as we get baked 
Take out that sponge cake, make no mistake 
It got that spring, there’s no remake 
Can feel the earth quake 
The beat is shaking
The bass is rumbling
So deep you feel your belly ache 
What’s at stake 
You gotta know
It’s that flow state 
We on a roll 
So slap on the butter baby
We gravy 
Grab a plate and
Before you go

Bounce
Bounce
To the boogie
The bang
The beat
Box
About
To bring it back
The breakdown
For the block
For my people
I see you
Gimme a pound
Tell me how
Have you been
For now
The breakdown
I’m here for you
Hear me loud 
And clear
We are responsible
For where we’re 
Bound
The breakdown
Heading out
Gotta beat the crowds
To get home
Put my feet up
While I eat on the couch
The breakdown

Hold up
Lemme tell you
What I’m talking about
To the beat
With a breakdown
That can make you bounce

Break Down The Bounce

Bitzone, RS Frawstakwa & the Couch King - Break Down The Bounce

Scotty. (almost) everywhere. Hasty home recordings in between realities while the children are (sometimes) quiet or at their mom's.
