Dug up a song Lilly and I covered 4-5 years ago..... fun times.

Ever Fallen in Love

I guess it's more of an Electronic Rock, or Industrial trip-hop, who the f knows..  

Was chopping Chopin's "nocturne op 55" when i realized that my old tune "only two" has the same freaking chorus harmony as the main theme of his piece. 

 So we had ourselves some mashup over here..

it opens up at 0:54 ... 

cheerios

Only Opus 55

Take On Me

Bang Bang (N.Sinatra, PSM mix)

Made this cover a while back.. like a whiiiile back.. 
- Emily on vocals
- my dad (Alex) on saxophone

enjoy...

7 Nation Army

another silly track. Sort of a jumpy cover of the famous soviet tune from the movie "diamond hand" 1968..

A nam vse ravno

А нам всё равно (a nam vse ravno)

my daughter is very much in to "Five nights at Freddie's" lore.. she was so obsessed with this tune by TryHardNinja that I had to oblige... So here we gooo...

It's me (feat. CatNat)

My first tune made entirely in Reason 7.0. I've been using Reason for past 10 years but always as a slave synth via rewire. Since 6.0 it supported direct audio recording, but I waited till v7 to make sure they work all the glitches out. Anyway, it's OK, it's a bit clunky and less than intuitive to work with the audio files compared to Acid, but i'm getting a hang of it. Anyhooo... cheers. Just a silly track after all that talking.

Mask

Ladybugs

Smell those sweet young things
Looky here, this one's got long black hair
She's like a death metal queen...
Struttin' sluts all through that whorehoppin' scene
Makes me say...

Shit, goddamn! I'm a Man? I'm a man?
I said Shit goddamn! I'm a Man!!

Ride lightning fast for fuel
Cross the desert at the speed of sound!
I've got the knife and I've got my gun
I can't lose 'cause I'm the Devil's favorite son
Makes me say...

Shit, goddamn! I'm a Man? I'm a man?
I said Shit goddamn! I'm a Man!!

We're the kids of the blazing sun!!
We've got the desert, got the sand, and our guns!
We love the whorehoppin, that ain't no lie...
You could tell by the devilish look in our eyes!!...

Goddamn! I'm a Man. I'm a Man? I said, Shit Goddamn!! I'm a man!

Whorehoppin'

LOVELY

so Emily and I got this track down for our project with Physical (to be announced). The track is by poets for poets about the poets. Or, let's say, about 99% of the artistic nonsense that poets bring in to this world. It's truly beautiful. .. And it's in French no less.. By Charles Baudelaire no less...

Here you can also watch a video to the said track:

Les Poetes

decided to do a cover of the undying tune by Pixies "Where is My Mind". Lilly did an awesome job of conveying the trip-hoppish electronic rock feel! Cheers.

Where is My Mind (feat. Lilly. Pixies coveR)

some ramblings featuring Lilly and myself... Darky dark... 

I dream of you when I'm lonely

Zaberi

Another new tunage, this time with awesome Lilly and her jazzy vox... Sort of a fuse between acid jazz and trip-hop.. may be.. For video go to my youtube channel youtube.com/peachstealingmonkeys  Anyway, the video there is obviously not mine, it's clearly noted in the credits. (by FilmBilder).. But the vid does fit the song rather greatly.
So.. enjoy and all. Happy holidays, Merry Christmas, merry everything!

LYRICS:
***Verse 1 (by Emily Dickinson)***
Escape is such a thankful Word
I often in the Night
I think it unto myself
No spectacle in sight

***Chorus 1 (by PSM)*** 
the spittin image of my love
you're laying and you're praying stop
it isn't catchy, not at all
and all you have to do is drop

you drop me from your deepest thoughts
you drop me from your deep blue heart
you let me walk, you let me slide
forget it all, let me die

***Verse 2 (by Emily Dickinson)***
Sometimes it is with the Heart
Sometimes with the Soul
Scarcer once with the Might
Few will love at all. 

***Chorus 2 (by PSM)***
spittin image of my love
you're lying right in to my face
it isn't catchy, not at all
there's nothing left for me but grace

you grace me with your deepest thoughts
you grace me with your deep blue heart
don't let me walk, don't let me slide
forget it all, just don't let me die...

Spittin' Image of My Love

here's another installment of our jazz poetry featuring Lilly on vocals... For those interested in lyrics, here they are:

I ask for her name
she says it's Elise
a wink and a smile
sent to me

I'm trying my best
to escape from a script
it is too rough
at the sea

of love
free of
the peace
of mind

my thoughts
are with
your soul
that's all

perhaps it's a dream
how smooth does it seem
on my palm
near the life line of you

I'm sensing the change
but it's feeling so strange
to observe all the roughness
at the sea

of love
free of
the peace
of mind

my thoughts
are with
your soul
that's all

the whisper of love
in the eyes of a fox
the lips that are red
from a kill

the time doesn't move
is this love? it's a groove
the natural hunt
of a thrill

for love
free of
the peace
of mind

my soul
is yours
to own
that's all

Sea Of Love

famous Russian wwII era war song in a jazzy rendition...

Temnaya Noch / Dark Night (Тёмная Ночь)

light acoustic swing jazz track with Lilly on vocals..

Lyrics:

I do not love you
I'm being told
my love moves on
from fire to cold

the amber's blue
that's only true.

I only loved you
because it was you
but now i,
need some time,
to refresh my mind, 

You might've said some things
that I thought weren't true
and Despite of all of that
I still wanted you

Insane, how much pain I lived through

but no more by your side
and I love my new ride
on the star that's shining bright

I only loved you
because it was you

2017

Star

haven't done a cut-up mix like that in a while.. props to Kristina for pulling thru the vocals request here..  The original track with pianos/xylophone is by Lionel Hampton.. check it out on youtube, it's a sick piece if you're in to 40's jazz.

I Am Blue Because Of You

a jazzy syncopated rendition of an old track but this time with Lilly's awesome vocals. I hope you like it.

Beautiful Life

classic retro remix of All The Things You Are  with Helen Forrest & Artie Shaw, 1939. Trip Hop.

All The Things You Are (Artie Shaw, Helen Forrest, PSM remix)

very .. very very old track... melodic.. jazzy..acoustic.. whatever..

One Date

a dark song about .. a wolf .. I guess.. or life.. whatever you choose.. 

Yellow Eyes

another one of my "creations".. 

the lyrics were inspired & partially borrowed from the poem by Vidushi Khera   https://www.poemhunter.com/poems/lonely/page-1/1758743/

*****Lyrics*****
times are bad 
you have no friends
hopes of life 
and no ends
in your thoughts 
nothing gives
can’t imagine 
life you live

time goes by
can’t keep pace
and they laugh
in your face
all you thought 
belonged to you
Turns to nothing, 
happiness too


all those things 
that were yours
got you just
zero score
you got nothing, 
no one close to
on your knees
's how they see you


life's a terror
not a test
you get nothing
try your best
you are numb
and you squeal
no more time
you can steal...

How Lonely Do You Feel

a millionth cover of Summertime... this time with PSM and Kristina..

Summertime (feat. Kristina)

just couldn't leave Lilly's vocals alone after an originally non-impressive pixie's cover. This time it's sort of a beachy tune... Enjoy.

Where is my mind (acoustic, feat. Lilly)

back to the trip-hop wagon. Was chopping the beautiful piece called  "Barcarolle" by Tchaikovsky. .. then reduced it to a simple trip-hop beat with one of the original parts sort of intact.. Anyway, spoken/sung poetry with some singing in the chorus..  It's definitely got that feeling of inevitability.

Lyrics  (by https://old.reddit.com/user/swinesy):

[adapted]
As the sunsets on today,
there is nothing left to say,
Is there Nothing left 
to hold us down,

Guess we live in trying times,
With our ways (choices) and our crimes,
Looking hard to find another way..

Pull me closer,
Hold me near,
end is coming,
need you here,
I'll hold you close until,
the world stands still,

Pull me closer,
Hold me dear,
end is coming,
need you here,
I'll hold you close until,
it all stands still

As we walk into the night,
Wasting all our time away,
Can we watch the falling lights,
Can you hear a word I say,
Or is this another empty dream,
Do you even know what I mean,

Pull me closer,
Hold me near,
The end is coming,
And I need you here,
I'll hold you close until,
Until the world stands still,

Pull me closer,
Hold me dear,
The end is coming,
And I need you here,
I'll hold you close until,
it all stands still

Ending

Very first track we recorded with Lilly..  I believe it is my favorite piece we've done together.. Just so smooth and jazzy...

I Can't Sleep

This Misery, I disagree

I stumbled upon Erik Satie's pieces from 19th century. His Gymnopédies & Gnossiennes melodies and their juxtaposition over the deep minor harmonies are mesmerizing. So I ended up fusing the Russian version of the lyrics for my track "Misery"  with Erik's "Gnossiennes part 3".
  
the end result is a rather moody and strangely melodic cohesion of a dirty electronic background layered with the zesty "je nais se quois" velvet of the piano... and well.. my voice here and there..
