Nice surprise. Great song. I'll add this to my list.

Yes, I follow and breathe in the atmosphere of the comments on the wavu song here

this is too much, and those solos are killers

Well made, congrats; synth vocals still a bit aseptic but fitting; the list of citations is amazing and well chosen; some could be more 'upfront', they kinda drown in the mix -- but, as said, well done!

Il y a deux Donald... et ce n'est pas le canard...

There are two Donald... and it’s not the duck...

Here's the final version for Feeling, hard to keep up with The Cyanist's talents, but I am happy with the changes made! :)

Feeling

Burning With The Sun

A circle song for the break-up, make-up, break-up loop. Acoustic guitar based. Kissing tears lead to a salty embrace … which always ends in tears. Full lyrics below. Get in touch if you are interested in licensing any lyrics:

You hold my hand I stroke your hair
You hold my hand I stroke your hair
The sun rays play with dust in the air
You hold my hand I stroke your hair

We sit on my bed in the pale afternoon
We sit on my bed in my bedroom
I know you’ll be leaving me, leaving me soon
I know you’ll be leaving me, leaving me soon

You kiss the tears as they roll down my face
Kissing tears turns into salty embrace
Salty embrace always ends in tears
Tears just lead to kisses on the face

I touch your back as you turn away
I help you pack and ask you to stay
You won’t be back and won’t be swayed
I watch your back as you walk away

All old promises of youth
All hold faith with the truth
All told honest and naive
All so you wouldn’t leave

You kiss the tears as they roll down my face
Kissing tears turns into salty embrace
Salty embrace always ends in tears
Tears just lead to kisses on the face

Kissing Tears

DIXIE FRIED
Music by Overdrive

Dixie Fried is a sort of audio version of "Where's Wally?" The track has tons of references to the hippie/rock counterculture of the 1970s -- from the slang that gives the song its title, to the cover art reminiscent of Easy Rider; to the very structure of the song.

Reference lists are at the end of this text.

Synthetic vocals from Dreamtonics' Synthesizer V software with Eclipsed Sounds’ Solaria voice. Guitars from samples provided by Noiiz website.

I hope you enjoy.

LYRICS
DIXIE FRIED (1)

There's no way home from here
No turning back for me
That stranger living in fear
Now longs to set be free.

Looking for freedom's glare
I'm lost inside of me
My life is fleeing fast
Where should I run from here?

Wandering all around.
All right, but in my mind.
Let's walk down the golden brick road. (2)
But all in my dreams, just in my dreams.

I'm losing track of it all.
Oh, no. Where am I now?
Jim's blue bus is leaving town (3) 
And Lucy's in a rush, watch out. (4)

Just let your freak flag fly  (5)
Spaced out (6) and out of sight. (7)
Turn off your mind (8) and see
With kaleidoscope eyes. (9)

All marmalade skies (10) and soulflies
Are in my mind.
I'm floating down the stream of time (11)
But I don't know if I'm coming up or down. (12)

Just another trip in the wall. (13)
Oh no, I'm lost somehow.
Take your deep dive down the rabbit hole. (14)
And let's turn on, tune in and drop out. (15)

[Timothy Leary narration]

[Jimi Hendrix guitar solo]

Looking for freedom's glare
I'm lost inside of me
My life is fleeing fast
Where should I run from here?

Wandering all around.
All right, but in my mind.
Let's walk down the golden brick road.
But all in my dreams, just in my dreams.

I'm losing track of it all.
Oh, no. Where am I now?
Jim's blue bus is leaving town
And Lucy's in a rush, watch out.

Płyta "MALOVANA" - Pierwszy utwór " Kolorowych Snów"  o malarce i piosenkarzu, którzy pracują we wspólnym atelier. Łączy ich pasja, praca i uczucie.

Inspiracją do tworzenia płyty są Malarze, Kolory i Uczucia. Skład wokalny i instrumentalny utwory Kolorowych Snów : Magdalena Meisel - śpiew , Tomasz Wołkiewicz - śpiew, Artur Wypich- kompozycja instrumentalna, Adam Kozubek- muzyka, Krzysztof Wartak - tekst

Kolorowych Snów | Colorful Dreams

The family within the cystal ball.
So careful to escape notice at all.
In-action won't escape the reverie.
Need events to shake the fantasy...

The meaning, once hidden, is now revealed.
A hiding place to seek what was untilled.
Important not to rest before you start.
Unlikely to follow what's in your heart.

We're across all the stars of the sea.
We're upon the bowsprit in between.
Oooo
We're across the moonlight of the waves.
We're beyond the watery graves. 
Oooo 

The jetty points its hands out from the land,
The boat that's moored alongside more off hand.
A nonchalance which gives away no thing.
A blue that is too deep to find within.

A pressure that can only build without.
Before its emergence it cant cant get out.
No need to find a reason to submerge.
A calling from the stars wont quell the urge.


The Family in The Crystal Ball

This is my third composition in which Taiko drums play a significant role. In style, it is different to the others, I think. I hope you enjoy. It's now part of my Taiko serie to which I will add one or two more in the future.
