Amazing track - What a wonderful journey - thanks 🔥🔥🔥👍

Wonderful!! I really enjoy your sound and your track!:)

Dramatic and drawing well from the older traditions but also contemporary in feel, too work!

Interesting rhythmics and melodies. A lot of energy!

Excellent production! I listen to headphones - every nuance and sound is heard, and the music surrounds me from all sides :-) Great feast for the ears!

GETTING USED TO CHANGES

I close my POTENCIAL BIÓTICO album with this contemporary revival of a philosophical song I wrote 19 years ago when my grandpa died.

Could describe it as a requiem for guitar quartet, 2 voices, rhythmic base & church bell (you may know the piano version at https://soundcloud.com/esemanolain-ruizzo/sets/piano-sessions-2012 album).

A mostly slow piece with lotta soul and no artistic ambition (but a little ‘Pros&Cons’ air to the end ;).

Letra / lyrics:

Miedo al cambio,  /  Fear of the change,
incómodo trabajo;  /  uncomfortable work;
molesto planteamiento:  /  annoying approach:
no me gusta lo inesperado.  /  I don’t like the unexpected.
  
A lo mejor es que no estoy acostumbrado  /  It is probably that I am not used
a ver las cosas cambiadas de sitio.  /  to see the things moved from place.
Ver a la gente irse al otro lado  /  Watching people going to the other side
es duro si piensas que todo  /  is hard if you think that everything
será siempre lo mismo.  /  will be always the same.

Ay, lo mismo ...  /  Ay, the same thing ...
ah, lo mismo ...  /  ah, the same thing ...
ay, lo mismo a mí...  /  ay, the same to me...
  
No he sabido reaccionar,  /  I didn’t know how to react,
atrapado en mi infantil ilusión   /  trapped in my infantile illusion
de que nada cambia,  /  where nothing changes,
ah, tengo que darme cuenta de lo que pasa,  /  ah, I must realize of what happens,
ay, tengo que salir de esta caja.  /  ah, I have to go out of this box.

a lo mejor es que no estoy acostumbrado  /  It is probably that I am not used
a las sorpresas de la vida,  /  to the surprises of life,
a nuevos planes que no había planeado,  /  to new plans I had not planned,
no me acostumbro a considerar  /  I don’t get used to consider
una opción distinta.  /  a different option.

Ay, distinta ...  /  Ay, different ...
ay, distinta ...  /  ay, different ...
ah, distinta a mí,  /  ah, different from me,
a mi pensamiento,   /  from my thought,
a mi forma de ser,   /  from my way of being,
a mi manera de verlo...  /  from the way I see it...

Lyrics

Verse 1
Hold on, it's a long way down
Haven't been there for so long
It's a simple life when you're living on your own
so don't pick up the telephone (cell phone)
It's you and me again
so hold on.....

Chorus
Strangers, in this life
We're strangers, we're just finding our way
We're strangers, it's just you and me
We're strangers and I can't stay

Verse 2
So low, at the Sundowner Cafe
You're a bright light in the darkest place
Your stage name is all I need
So don't pick up the telephone
It's you and me again
so hold on.....

Chorus
Strangers, in this life
We're strangers, we're just finding our way
We're strangers, it's just you and me
We're strangers and I can't stay


Outro

We were hangin out at the sundowner when everything would change
for you and me

We were hangin out at the sundowner when everything would change
for you and me

We were hangin out at the sundowner when everything would change
for you and me

We were lost in the night, you and me

We were strangers....

The sundowner cafe

LYRICS :-
They dig a little deeper now
They're finding out the cause
The route , the problem and the pain
Keep showing us the way

Keep searching for solutions  how
Untangling the brambles and the thorns
Of what people say
When words get in the way

Secrets and lies
never helped anybody
Secrets and lies
Only help to lose your way
Everyday
Secrets and lies 
Make the waters so muddy
Secrets and lies 
Always leading us astray
What a shame

They're getting even closer now
They're opening up the door
They've found the key to this foul play
And chasing it away

A little of the decent kind
A little of the lay it on the line kind
It's only fair
Fair and square

Secrets and lies
never helped anybody
Secrets and lies
Only help to lose your way
Everyday
Secrets and lies 
Make the waters so muddy
Secrets and lies 
Always leading us astray
What a shame

Secrets and Lies

Secrets And Lies

Many children must act as a mother or father in the house since one or both parents are addicted to  prescription drugs.
The suffering of children as a result of their parents addiction is an important Topic. Therefore, we have dedicated this song to all children suffering from their parents addiction .  
This is not about being a bad parent but about an overuse of drugs prescribed by the doctor.
So our great hope is that awareness will one day, bring about change. Lyrics below.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this song <3

She's Not There

V1:
The joy she felt inside has long since gone numb
Her mood always looks so cold and grey
I don't regret the person I've become
But I miss them in every way
I miss my brother and I really miss my mother
Though I see them every day
Lift:
I stand on my own 2 feet
I depend only on me

Chorus:
Cuz' she's not there
All I see each day is a hollow blank stare
Her eyes looking back at me
With such a lack of empathy
What's the point of wasted tears?
Why reach out when she's not there?

V2:
My childhood vanished when the pills took her smile
Seemed like all the laughter was gone
Only one way this family would survive
I had to hold on and grow strong
I stepped into a life unreal
Did the household chores and learned to cook the meals
Lift:
I stand on my own 2 feet
I depend only on me

Chorus:
Cuz she's not there
All I see each day is a hollow blank stare
Her eyes looking back at me
With such a lack of empathy
What's the point of wasted tears?
Why should I cry when she's not there?

Bridge:
All I ever wanted was a normal life
When will they be coming back?
I won't feel guilty or apologize
I did the best with what I had

Chorus:
She's not there
All I see each day is a hollow blank stare
Her eyes looking back at me
With such a lack of empathy
What's the point of wasted tears?

Outro:
There's so much in my life I want to share
But she's not there

She's Not There - Feat. Aditi Iyer (lyrics by Ed Millican)

Poem: High Up On The Hills (Yüksek Tepeler) - Translation:
They shouldn’t build homes high up the hills
They shouldn’t give girls as bride to faraway lands 
They shouldn’t despise her mother’s one and only 
It shall surmise to the flying birds 
I miss my mother
Both my mother and my father
I miss my village
Both my mother and my father
I miss my village

You shine so bright, you’re the leaves on the trees
You’re heat and light, you’re the birds and the bees

But I’m done with you, sun             
Say goodbye to the sky
Whatever may come              
I won’t be there to ride
I’m going inside, I’m going inside, I’m going inside

You’re my sunburn, your light stains my eyes
Drown in details, to die in the sky

I’m so done with you, sun, I am saying goodbye
Whatever may come, I won’t see when you rise
I’m going inside, I’m going inside, I’m going inside

Four walls ---there are four white walls
and a floor that I can lay on
up high, there is wood box
With a hole where you can come in, sun
 
You shine so bright,  through the clouds you can glow
Moon shines your light from tomorrow

But I’m done with you, sun, I am saying goodbye
Whatever may come, let the darkness be mine
I’m going inside, I’m going inside , I’m going inside

In The Cold Winter Rain

I still reminisce about the 1970s. As a teenager I liked the special sound of the Glitter Band ( ... we ignore the 'leader of the gang' for probably well-known reasons). Great percussion, metallic guitar sounds, fat saxphone and a cool HEY :-). So let's get together again and listen to the Home Rock Star.

And I'm celebrating a little anniversary with this song: It is my eightieth track on Soundcloud in 4 incredible years. A good opportunity to once again thank all listeners, followers and collab friends for the creative cooperation, the nice feedback and the great support. The soundcloud community is the nicest social media community on the net. Musicians are just super nice people who respect each other. Thank you so much kind people from all over the world.

Lyrics:

Home Rock Star

When I was a teen
is all I want to be
a glam rock star
in a glittering world

A glam rock star

Now i'am an old man
but the shine lives on
it keeps me young
now I live my dream
 
As home rock star

So I take my guitar
turning on the amp
and let the strings swing
my body feels the sound

Now I'm a home rock star

Home Rock Star - OMCB

I purchased this factory made om-body guitar few weeks ago. It suits fine my bare fingertips picking style.
As you can see it`s equipped with GK-3 hexaphonic pickup and sound is produced by Boss GP-10 guitar processor.
The track is almost full improvised and recorded in one take.

SEI MUTIG! (Der Text) 
Durchgezechte Nacht mit verbogenen Gedanken.
Vernebelte Sicht durch Alkohol und Nikotin.
Aufgetaucht in einer Frühstückskneipe.
Irgendwo im Nirgendwo von Berlin.

Ich fühlte mich einsam und auch mies.
Nicht die geringste Spur von Liebe.
Was läuft hier nur falsch?

Fader Kaffee mit bitterem Geschmack.
Meine Blicke leer aber immer suchend.

Schräg gegenüber saß ein Mädchen.
Heller Teint und schwarzes Haar.
Ihr Blick traf mein Herz.
 
Was ist jetzt nur los?
Ist sie das große Los?
Im Hals `nen fetten Kloß!
Wie schaffe ich das bloß? 

Irritiert schaute ich zu Boden.
Ich wünschte sie käme rüber zu mir!
Kurz darauf blickte ich wieder auf - 
und sie stand ganz nah bei mir.

Und sie sagte:
komm sei mutig!
Zieh mich ganz fest an dich!
Hey, sei nicht so feige!
Glaube an dich und mich!
Verschließe nicht die Augen!
Schaue mich an, ich stehe vor dir.
Sei bitte mutig!
Küsse mich jetzt und hier!

Ich dachte:
komm sei mutig!
Ich zieh` sie ganz fest an mich!
Ey, ich bin nicht feige!
Ich glaube an sie und mich!
Verschließe nicht die Augen!
Schaue mich an, ich stehe vor dir.
Sei bitte mutig!
Küsse mich jetzt und hier! 
Küsse mich jetzt und hier!

Sei mutig!

What if ? What a beautiful question !! ...if something can be foreseen, it might be worth trials and experiments  ... ..so let's try some some new ideas ... at least some of them :)  !!
Here, this is an attempt to experiment some combinations  of different musical genres mixing old and  new instruments...Hope you enjoy !!
Have a great summer
Steph

What If ?

Lately, music of the mind makes for an unusual soundscape. Like music from a Silent Movie out of time, this is a film score of my days.  There are so many ups and downs, it has become a carnival ride. 

Hop on.
