Wednesday Collection #5

Any artist is welcome to send us ONE track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators will listen to every track*. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 9 October: from mid-day on Friday you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch257

*Note: we don't listen again to tunes we've already heard, and automatically block artists who send more than one track a week (our moderators can manage to work their way through 140 tunes overnight, but 280 would be impossible!)

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 257

Two bridges

a boring new day

CELLS


My cells
My spirals
My shadows
Spread like syrup down the hall

Open
My heart
To constellations
Bottom of the pool: I found my design

My blood
Calling back to me
My cells
My spirals

I give them back to all
I give them back to all

Written/recorded 2017

{Inspired by many things, among them J.G. Ballard's "The Voices of Time"}

**This the original version, sans backing vocals.

The final version, with beautiful backing vox by Yellow-Belly, is on my 2018 album "White Hidden Flower" (https://chrisway.bandcamp.com/album/white-hidden-flower)

Cells

Cells (original version)

We can only try and live in the real world and make the best of what we have

If i look back on everything and think to hard
about the things id change and what i learned
and try and be there on the level ...why im i so concerned 
if life is a random series of events
you gotta put feathers in your hat and jump the fence

if you think you know me 
or if you feel its unreal 
do you think that you would show me how you really feel

If You Think You Know Me

Secret Caves May 2017... Carrie B: bass guitar   Simon: lead guitar Caligula Jr:  vocals, acoustic guitar  Ghostie Jo: piano  Slappie: drums

love lately has found me 
cross-eyed on my lawn
that girl in the stolen shoes don’t
wanna dance
she tells me where we’ve been
as she teases me along
and every fool on the turnpike
understands
even as they’re falling away

i won’t be waiting
on her phone call now
i’ll spend my afternoon dancing
in wet cement
the girl with the stolen shoes
don’t wanna know how
how the fools on the turnpike knew
just what i meant
even as i’m falling away

“so tell me 
do you still believe in love?”
says the girl in the stolen shoes
as she is dancing away
“as if,” she adds, “you 
don’t have problems enough—”
and then she falls on the turnpike,
falls on the turnpike!! 
…and i don’t even know what to say

so tell me, do you still believe in love?
tell me do you still believe in love?
(…as if you don’t have problems enough)

secret caves

i still believe in love

A virtual world
I try to remember the time before computers and gadgets were used to run and organise our lifes..a  time when meeting people was a matter of
actually going out and making the physical effort to make friends ,yep no online ..no messaging..having to make a telephone call from a phone box and having to write a letter to someone using a pen and paper!!!!
All is gone to the digital world ..but natural beauty and wonder is still all around us and its very reassuring to know that the beaches and the forests and the natural wonders of this planet that have been there for thousands or even millions of years are still there sitting right next to us.
I always try and remember there is a human face sitting on the end of every app and program...yes communication may have changed but the message and the songs stays the same...please try and find love,peace and compassion for all living things  as we all have to share and live on this one planet.

The Virtual World

As a sign of life (while still working on something else), releasing a take-out from my https://soundcloud.com/davidjsvensson/oort-cloud-project-part-i-ix

This part (of the considerably longer full track) is my personal favorite section; please allow me to publish it as a 'single'. 

Composed and Played by David J Svensson 2016. Keyboards, Organ, Electric and Classical Guitars, Drum Pads, Drum Loops.

(I changed the title of this track to the current one - wasn't satisfied with the first one, it didn't reflect my intentions fully).

TRANQUILITY

Lizzie kindly agreed to work on a piano idea and transformed it into this graceful song (re-introducing me to my O grade French again).  Please listen to her other great music at @taylor-pentland.

Ne sois pas bleu
Coeur eclaire par la lune

We flutter by, like the night

Chanson d'oiseau
Reste longtemps

All feathers and light we rise
All feathers and light we rise

Maybe one day
We'll be side by side
No fluttering by
We rest in the light

Ne pas regarder en arriere (don't look back)

Flutter by (Lizzie & Paul)

Inspired by the works of the great band Sigur Ros from Iceland

Phil Dupuis's Album

Synesthesia

Flying Free

See You In The Funny Papers

I followed the invitation to the open collab inspired by Claus' music.

Augenmerk: lyrics & vocals
Cast the fear off and all other shades, which hinder you and are your blessing!
Overcoming makes you strong, stronger than the load.
Shuffle off the weights!
No rock and no thunderstorm, which you do not brave!
In the midst of the forces is your fire bath, your storm drink.
Pull the thread out, let the coil go, release your ball,
and all knots dissolve, the heart no longer bound,
the dream is free - you have found to yourself,
the fight of the night will let you go again.
You have licked the trail of blood and frightened the child.
This breathing lets you free, because you are free,
You are your gift.
I looked myself in the clouds, in puddles, saw the night of tears
and my permission to love me holds on, is celebration
and separating the tape to silence,
my heart forever laughs in this alliance of the middle,
my fires wait for blaze -
inherent cheers, detached from walls,
exploding into the blue and green, into the breathing of the world
That's how it is.

Wirf die Angst ab, die dich hindert und dein Segen ist!
Überwinden macht dich stark, stärker als die Last.
Wirf die Gewichte ab!
Kein Fels und kein Gewitter, dem du nicht trotzt.
Inmitten der Gewalten ist dein Feuerbad, dein Sturmtrank.
Zieh den Faden raus, lass die Spule los, gib dein Knäuel frei, 
und alle Knoten lösen sich, das Herz nicht mehr gebunden,
der Traum wird frei – du hast zu dir gefunden,
der Kampf der Nacht lässt dich wieder los.
Hast die Blutspur geleckt und das Kind erschreckt.
Dieser Atem lässt dich frei, weil du die Freie bist,
Du dich dir schenkst.
Ich habe mich geschaut im Wolkenband, in Pfützen, 
hab die Tränennacht gesehen 
und die Erlaubnis mich zu lieben hält an, ist Feier
und trennt das Band zum Schweigen,
dass mein Herz für immer lacht in diesem Bund der Mitte,
denn meine Feuer warten auf den Brand -
Jubel, der innewohnt, von Mauern löst, 
hinausbirst ins Blau und Grün, ins Atmen dieser Welt schenkt
So ist das.
