Hey Joe Sim Acoustic Cover...

Lyrics:

I weigh my words to leave enough 
I still can use tomorrow
I'll find my way out of this slumber
My time is up today
I lie myself to justify
The choices that I follow

An endless masquerade...

Inhaling yet another faceless day of running round 
To keep up with the rest
Oh please
Just tell me what happens next - 
I wanna know this mask is worth its weight
To stay within the cast
Dream of invisibility - among these shadows I don't feel the same
Grey eminence of my insanity still pulling ropes behind the scenes

Inside...
Stranded in illusion of tomorrow

Benevolence - ill-fated partner of the failed,
Dream of denied, illusion soothing all the pain.
Veil of defense over new clothing of the king,
Nothing but faith when all is crashing down within

Word in word
Step in step
Silent resonance leaving the void

Inside...
Stranded in illusion of tomorrow

Word in word
Step in step
Silent resonance leaving the void

Inside...
Stranded in illusion of tomorrow

Rhyming life by day and breaking up against its twisted rhythm
Step in step
Still following the trail through all this smoke to find what's real

Tomorrow

PLEASE DON'T GO BACK HOME

Melodic Solid Rock to give you something to think about.

This is my reinterpretation of the amazing song "Step Up", written by the talented Brittany Hughey aka A Girl From Wonder. 

The first time I heard "Step Up", I was struck by the power of the song.  The apparent simplicity of its structure (just voice and acoustic guitar) hid the power of a typical 70s rock song.

"Step Up" not only gave me the pleasure of working with Brittanny, but also allowed me to use for the first time the Kontakt library that emulates the legendary Hammond B-3X synthesizer. The synth solo in the middle of the song certainly helped to create the musical atmosphere of the 70s.

In addition, the song allowed me to use a new audio separation technology. Brittany's momentary impossibility to provide the track's stems led me to explore the world of websites focused on audio track separation (Moises, Fadr, Lalal.ai etc). I was then able to try out Orion, Lalal.ai's next-generation AI model. In my opinion, Orion has achieved something that was unthinkable until recently -- surpassing Moises' spectacular stem separation AI model. There are still the familiar phantom noises typical of today's models, but they're much less obvious, and I think we're fast approaching a time when the stems separated by these tools will be of absolutely impeccable quality.

Step Up (ft A Girl From Wonder)

A track from a little-known group, from the TV channel "Gameland TV" heading "annealing" from the game "Ace combat 6"

9Lies — U2

Big picture wise, it’s a hip hop beat with spaghetti western elements. So hence, the trip hop tag cos’ Soundcloud likes to judge genres based on beats. 
I used a minMaj7 chord for the first time in preparation for my Bond theme I will be attempting next year. Daunting, I know. Over the MinMa77 chord I used gypsy minor or double harmonic minor or whatever you wanna call it. Then, mixolydian over the Dom 7. After the spaghetti western intro, I do a borrowed chord on the 4th degree in the second verse. Then again, for the bridge. For the key change I used a diminished portal. If you make a Dom 7 chord a half step below any of the  notes of a diminished 7 chord it shares 3 common notes so it gives you 4 possible keys to go to. I picked the one with 1b cos it’s close to Am. Then another borrowed chord on the 4th degree of the scale. A lot of superimposition going on with the keys/strings. 
Production wise, the usual time it takes to produce a song is 12 hours. I went over that by 1 hour cos’ I had to learn how to play a bit of harmonica and bend with it. I didn’t know that you had to blow and suck. That’s what she said. I think the best parts of the string arrangements are the 2nd verse and the bridge where I just stopped trying to be Ennio Morricone and did…me. 
Mix wise, this is what Cassius would sound like had I let the pro mixers have their way. I think it’s cool/light/hipster. Not as warm as my demo mix. So maybe in the future I will put my foot down and go back to ‘just mix it like my demo.’ But, I think 75% of my vision was reached so that makes me satisfied. 
Lyrically, what we’re going for is dependent on how you’re feeling right now. So, if you’re unhappy you can imagine that we’re singing it to you. Especially the line ‘Need your pain to dissipate.’ And if you’re happy, then you imagine you’re singing it to someone else. 


I put my 6 string in it. Buried deep inside the sins of the foreign lands    (I guess I could be referring to 八国联军here）
And when I get down to it I’m gonna love you in all the ways that I can          
Back up for ya cry, need a place to sort out your life
Need your pain to dissipate, need the rain to sit and wait
I got this back porch shotgun sitting wisdom tooth (I set my brain on random and I like the contrast between a somewhat redneck shotgun scene and caviar)
On the rain soaked caviar of mortal loving dues 

Chorus:
Backing:Do you do you wanna try
Staring deep inside my eyes
And you’re never the pauper and you’re never the slave (I actually thought pauper meant beggar until after I recorded the song and looked it up)
And you’ve broken out of your rusty cage. (Soundgarden reference)
When the dust is gone and settled
Will ya be the one
To make the queen of angels sigh (Doors reference. I think what I’m going for is the opposite of you’re so vain. Because the person ought to say, “I’m not an angel. Nor am I the queen of angels.” And, that’s why it’s you. And if it’s a kid asking themselves the question. “Can I kick it? Will I be the one?” You know the answer. “Yes you can.”)

Verse 2

Back up, if you’ve only got the rain on your mind
Shut up, before you lose the innocence of life 
I’m only in it for the beauty, in it for the game, I do it for the simple beauty to keep my life sane     (“oh. And that’s why do we it. But mostly the money”. But when I sing that line I believe. “You think Ronnie Van Want would rather play free gigs instead of getting paid. “Mama told me to forget my lust for the rich man’s gold. But she also taught me not to be an idiot.”)
It’s overdone. (When the) silence is overcome. 
I got the spells son. Do you have it? I got the spells son. Do you have it? (Just me being amusing)
In your place son. Do you have it? Take my rage son. Do you have it?

Hell.  going up in flames
Until you say my name 
I’ve been looking, forward to those voices, that make me change 

Why. Must the blue skies fall
Need to hear your name 
Before the water douses us again.

Sigh

This track is one of our craziest projection from our minds. We do hear voices inside our head, more like melodies singing. And this track is one of them. It's such a banger and you'll definitely drowned in the energy if you listen to it using earphone/headphone. Please submerge yourselves with this epic creation of ours! \m/

Mother Nature

Ruler of the Galaxy

Ruler Of The Galaxy

topical cover of buffie sainte-marie anti-war song from the 1960s

the universal soldier

G-d can give me what I want
At home, in the. Clouds
Back at the spot
The children scream and the woman rot
But I'm at, where G-d can give me what I want

The prairie is on the ceiling
And the people are smarter than I thought
But if I can pull their heartstrings 
G-d can give me what I want

I've lost myself
I've pulled out all the stops 
They'll charge me with treason
Just give them a reason 
They'll hold her hostage
But G-d will give them what they want
G-d just give them what they want

Meet in the center of the town 
Where there are no walls and less thought 
We can hold hands in the martyr's parking lot
Toast the years that we have lived but really just lost
Sing hallelujah one more time
And then G-d can give me what she  wants

Panacea

One Knew Song

I don’t like 
Your lies
I don’t like
How you treat me
I don’t like
Your fraud and
How you restrict me
Set me free
Don’t bother me 
I need my freedom 
I look for my paradise
Don’t restrain me

Somewhere
I fail to see it
Why it comes as the case may be
Between us love is desappeared
I have to leave you
Don’t bother me

I don’t like 
Your behavior
I don’t like
Your smell
I don’t like
Your toutch and
How you disgust me
Set me free
Don’t bother me 
I need my freedom 
I look for my paradise
Don’t restrain me

Somewhere
I fail to see it
Why it comes as the case may be
Between us love is desappeared
I have to leave you
Don’t bother me

Set me free
