The last drunkenness

That's my friend, that's the one I love
I'll never see them again
Out of mind, and in time, fear seeps through
it's a funny thing, spirits fallen down the avenue,
lost my friends, lost the one I love

Shadows play with my mind, it's a funny thing
if I close my eyes long enough then I'm one of them
I could be like them any time

where the story is, I'm alone at the avenue's end
I hear the music from the streets and it's inviting

Avenue's End

Do you want to see the world

Thank you for listening!
A new collaboration with another great SoundCloud Artist.
It has been a pleasure to collaborate with the very talented singer Aida Deturck 
Check out the great work of Aida; https://soundcloud.com/aidadeturck

Video Clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gp_cwdi1ewQ&feature=em-lsp
Lyrics:
Once upon a time she was right there
(Nobody knows)
and her whole life was just sit and wait 
“I want to be free”, “I want to be me”
And she sang in a tower all alone
[CHORUS]
Wake, Wake up
you have all the power in your hands
and she got, and she got what she always deserved 
-
Many years ago, she broke her own chains
(A Brand-New Day) 
Lost and lonely against all she knew 
“I want to be free”,“I want to be me”,“I will be brave”
And she escape from the tower by herself
[CHORUS]
Wake, Wake up
you have all the power in your hands
and she got, and she got what she always deserved
-
[BRIDGE]
She changed her path searching for a new life
What will you do?
Wait 
[CHORUS]
wake up
realizing her own power
and she got, and she got all that she always deserved   
Wait for me I’m coming
Everything looks beautiful through a castle window…

The Tower (Feat. Aida Deturck)

A fantastic collaboration between two musicians who share their passion and their conviction ...
"just out here in the middle of the void,spinning fast around a giant ball of burning gas that's hurdling thru the deepest darkest space .
Meteors and comets are zooming by at breakneck pace
The situation seems to be precarious ,some might even say Nefarious, how can it be that tragedy can be almost hilarious. Stupidity it seems to be the order of the day.
But here we are and here we go onward out, like warriors without a clue, and everyone will play their part,
of this i'm sure, i know it's true."

Once settled in Artica Point, almost frozen, I watch the world happening fast, and I tell you about by singing five verses with different vocal styles, a main instrumental theme in progress all along, and some bits of the other songs in the album to keep it conceptual ;)

Letra  /  Translated Lyrics:

DESDE AQUÍ (HISTORIA CONTEMPORÁNEA)  /  FROM HERE (CONTEMPORARY HISTORY)

Ahora que estoy aquí congelado,  /  Now I’m frozen here,
observo el mundo por internet y radio.  /  I watch the world on internet and radio.
Todo sucede ahí abajo tan rápido,  /  Everything happens so fast down there,
que se aprecian claramente los cambios,  /  that changes are clearly appreciated,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Con mis constantes vitales al mínimo,  /  With my vital signs down to a minimum,
como viviendo una película,  /  like living in a movie,
soy capaz de comprender el mecanismo  /  I am able to understand the mechanism
de la evolución de nuestra civilización,  /  of the evolution of our civilization,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

El frío que congela mi cuerpo  /  The cold that freezes my body
… … no me permite llorar,  /  … … doesn’t allow me to cry,
pero mi corazón sigue caliente muy adentro, en algún lugar,  /  but my heart is still warm deep inside, somewhere,
y puedo al menos entristecerme por lo que veo al mirar  /  and I can at least feel sad about what I see when I look
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Ahora que lo comprendo todo  /  Now when I understand everything,
entiendo que todos somos iguales,  /  I realize we’re all the same,
que sentimos lo mismo aunque ninguno lo sabe.  /  and we feel the same although no one knows it.
Desde aquí me identifico con cada hombre,  /  From here I feel identified with every man,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Desde aquí me alegro de no estar ahí abajo.  /  From here I’m glad not being down there.
Esperaré a ver qué pasa dentro de cien años.  /  I’ll wait and see what happens a hundred years from now.
Mi cuerpo apenas será un poco más viejo,  /  My body will hardly be a little older,
pero sí cumpliré siglo y medio de sabiduría y tristeza,  /  but I will get a century and a half of wisdom and sadness,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

What a great guy to work with. This is the second track, that I wrote, that Couch King worked and rapped on. Love his positive energy both in music and life. Thanks Marquis!

 Here's a bit more information, for those who are curious.
I am by no means in the habit of explaining what I was trying to say in a piece of music. I generally think the views of an artist on their own work are often, at best, partial or wrong and, at worst, self-serving. It's be better to stick to answering questions if asked(not that for the most part people's interest in my music rises to the level that they do ;). I've started to rethink that position though, in light of my own interest in what the people I listen to are thinking, and in any case I probably owe my collaborator a fuller accounting. I'll start with my own relationship to hip-hop. I'm older than the form. Making it the only major form of music that that is true of. It was also born close, geologically and culturally, to where I'm from but not in my neighborhood so to speak. So to me it's like the kid from down the block, say, four years younger. Growing out of the same environment, ie. soul, funk, jazz, etc., but with a bit of a divide. That being it's original construction out of samples. It was an audio collage art form. This has over time changed of course, although the original form still exerts influence over the way it's played and constructed. I had none of this in my mind when I sent the original tracks to Marquis(Couch King) but when he sent back his first rough draft of his rap; a thought came together in my mind. His speedy delivery set against my languid backing track brought to mind a slightly self conscious dinner guest. A new friend over for the first time. Filling in details of his life, and how he thinks about it, through stories of his past. The first verse addressing his new friends on his background. Small talk if you will. As he gets more intense though he starts to really talk to, in his mind, his father and then an old lover. Not unusual in an interesting, thoughtful conversation, no? I'm taking the role of the host of course. Inviting the younger, but now mature, man from the old neighborhood to my home. It's a dinner party so there are other people there. Chirping in about drinking, smoking, Nietzsche, chasing girls and his date sighing about his story(the samples in order except the bell which I'd rather not explain, you've got to leave something, no?). The music changing as his stories effect the mood in the room. The host though shares nothing. Polite and reasonably warm but sphinx like and a bit haughty. Making interesting ambiguous comments and not explaining them.

JUPITER FALL

I imagined the sounds of sap movements under the bark of the tree to create a musical and poetic composition.
A way to make the tree sacred through music ...
"Sap
under its cracked bark
circulates the fluid of our bubbling thoughts
sap-fed sleep
sap sap sap ..."

j'ai imaginé  les sons des mouvements de sève sous l'écorce de l'arbre pour réaliser une composition musicale et poétique.
Une manière de sacraliser l'arbre par la musique...
"Sève
sous son écorce fissurée
circule le fluide de nos pensées bouillonnantes
sommeil nourri de sève
sève sève sève  ..."

Sève

A poetic moment by STONERJAZZ accompanied by Patrick Picault improvising on various instruments.

"IT'S SUBLIME "   STONERJAZZ   PATRICK PICAULT

Lyrics :

So I see you found the door 
Grab a seat, soak in the charms
Of this affliction

We can act as though I’m kind
And you aren’t in a bind
Or some other fiction

And God might not know that it’s true
Because he hasn’t looked at you
In a while
Poor bastard can’t stand to watch

You baby
Can almost make me forget 
I’m crazy

I’ve been out with all my friends
And hoped the night it just might end
The deception

If only you had come along
Elevated tired talk to song
Sweetened my abjection 

The stars like pieces of broken windshield
In the street
Could not compete
With

You baby
You do make me forget 
I’m crazy

Obelus

Sometimes Your Parents Are Very Strange

Elaccheee

Technotions

Variable notions

Time making music is time well spent in these crazy times. ❤️🎶

Sometimes I dream I can fly
Sometimes I dream I can soar

And maybe
When I close my eyes
We can meet in the sky
No gravity
No gravity
Holding us down

Sometimes I dream I have wings
They are beautiful 

Chorus

The stars are dancing
The stars are dancing

No gravity...
No gravity...
Holding us down

Dedicated to Sander. ❤️

NO GRAVITY

So close but yet so far - we're reaching for a star - it's at our fingertips - we ignore who we really are - the truth is in my eyes - but you never look my way - you're so pre-occupied - going on with your day - I'm peeking in your room to see if you're awake - please don't make pretend - oh how my body aches - you're reaching for your phone - it's not me on the other end - does he really make you smile - can he give you everything
got so much time for him - time to throw away - wish you'd make him your past and spend some time today - cause baby we got time - time to see this through - if you've got time for me - then i got time for you
When did this go wrong - the two of us to blame - can you sleep at night - or do you feel ashamed - cause i know that I'm ashamed with all this fight in me - i still procrastinate - precious time is fleeting - if you just pick up your head - take one look at my face - it'll all come back to you - you let me take my place - so i sit and watch you sleep - cause i'd like to spend some time - oh how my body weeps - can't have what isn't mine
Chorus
We're bent but we're no broken - we're tired but we're awake - exchange cautionary glances - at what point will we break - i need some of your time - i miss you terribly - I'm in the other room - come and spend some time with me
chorus

(Lyrics)

------ Verse -----
You can treat me like a dog i'm your animal
smell of blood in the air makes us lose control
i won't give into reason the pure were always grieving 
------ Hook ------
Coming up closer to the end
look you in the eyes think back to when
everything was within our reach
now we're lucky if we speak
----- Chorus -----
What's it gonna be this time
are you gonna fall in line
everything was out of control

what's it gonna be this time
are you gonna say goodbye
i can't hold on if you let go
---- Hook ----
Coming up closer to the end
look you in the eyes just don't pretend
nothing left to be destroyed 
in this game we're just some toys
---- Verse ----
Got you begging on your knees 
now you'll come for me
everything i ever needed hidden in your scream
it could be pain or pleasure
we'll suffer here forever

You always told me so i was just your animal
thought i'd let you know you were just my animal

I'm Your Animal

GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT

Summoning

In the Corona crisis I experience the world like a kind of monastery. On the one hand connected with much renunciation and privations, with restrictions and abstinence. On the other hand, however, offering one the chance to learn to be amazed again in the silence and seclusion that results from the worldwide regulations. To have time to really let oneself be touched by something that has so far been hastily pressed into blinker-categories. To be surprised by revelations that must have remained hidden in the everyday functioning.    
To be able to say "Wow!" again in every cell of one' s body, however, also requires sometimes to free oneself completely from the now omnipresent digital availability. Unfortunately, the crisis leads partly there even more into digital obsessions. But even there I hope that at some point the weariness after the increasing dullness in the X-th Netflix series, among others, will set in and the desire for real encounters will come forward. 

Lyrics in English:

Wow!

Sit` here in the park without urge 
Without pressure, have plenty of time, don't start nothing

Just there, I look out
The mustiness in me turns out

There is a lake in front of me
That I usually walk by
Always seemed to look the same

Give me away
Soon I am in the thick of it

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!

In the silence the spells
In the quietness the wonders of the world

I'm totally exempt from duties
My phone is asleep

Completely freed from availability and digital suffering

My coffee machine is yawning heavily
Nothing that pushes me is working now

The world is lying down
There is no escape

The hectic reflexes: Off!

Give me away
Soon I am in the thick of it

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!

In the silence the spells
In the quietness the wonders of the world


Deutscher Originaltext:

Wow!

Sitz` hier im Park ohne Drang, 
Ohne Druck, hab` viel Zeit, fang` nichts an

Bin einfach da, schau` hinaus
Das Müssen in mir stellt sich aus

Vor mir liegt ein See, 
An dem ich sonst vorübergeh`

Schien immer gleich auszusehen

Gebe mich hin
Und bin bald mittendrin

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!

Im Stillen die Zauber
Im Schweigen die Wunder der Welt

Bin ganz von Pflichten befreit
Mein Handy schläft
Ganz erlöst von Verfügbarkeit und digitalem Leid

Meine Kaffemaschine gähnt schwer
Nichts was mich puscht geht jetzt mehr

Die Welt legt sich hin
Es gibt kein Entflieh`n

Die Hektik-Reflexe. Aus!

Gebe mich hin
Und bin bald mittendrin

Wow! Wow! Wow!Wow! Wow!

Im Stillen die Zauber
Im Schweigen die Wunder der Welt

Wow!

Wow! (English Lyrics In The Intro)

The sky's grow dark at  2pm there is an eerie calm before the storm.
The Storm of change awaits  The Dark Queen. Can she see whats Ahead? 
Looks to the sky?
