I have found another asset from Special Cecilia which I found very inspiring and very beautiful. 
Cecilia´s original can be found here: 
https://soundcloud.com/specialvocals/aca-cecilia-destins-lies

I hope you will enjoy our collaborating again!

Below are Cecilia´s Lyrics:
Ici et là de par le monde il semble que l'on soient plusieurs
Appellés à répendre de la lumière, à l'encontre des ténèbres
Chacun à sa manière, chacun de son côté, mais nos destins sont comme liés

Beaucoup d'entre nous ont souffert et ont surmonté leurs peines,
beaucoup connaissent les galères et ont résolu leurs problèmes
beaucoup ont encore dur, mais on garde le coeur pur
les intentions honnêtes

Je suis le capItaine de mon propre navire,
je garde le contrôle, je veux pas qu'il chavire,
tant de monde à explorer, de choses à partager
surfant sur les vagues de la destinée

Let Evening Come

Progressive funk rock by the Dragonsail Puppets

Point Of Touch

Me and Hideo rock-in' it out, good old spontaneous jam style, in fun-fun-fun mode. Nothing's better than a live jam...I l-i-v-e for it! In case you might be wondering, the far off distant psychedelic vocals are in fact deliberate...I tried to create the picture that we are up in the cosmic realm among the planets and stars jamming it up oh so blissfully, trying to please the Gods, the universe and all who dwell within. We are physically so far away from one another yet spiritually, we are so near and ready...ready to give you the instant magical vibrational feeling. At least we hope we're doing that. The intox-hypno-trance vocals are actually me telling Hideo how excited I am to be jamming with him....jamming to his super charged up kit-percussion! From the first moment I heard Hideo play his drums, I was completely gone as in stoned out of my mind. We're both feeling happy high elated in the Cosmos so please do come along and join us in our Happy Hap-Hap number...take your first dose now XOXOXO

Dark River
KCM  29May09
dark river is the end of the road
the current is strong and the water is cold
many have drowned trying to reach the other shore
it’s too far to swim, but too close to ignore

well, dark river, is all that remains
dark river, take me home again

a man pays his way in dust and grime
washes it away with cheap red wine
fourty years on he comes to know
that he don’t wanna stay but he can no longer go

well, dark river, is all that remains
dark river, take me home again

some men work ‘til they hit the wall
they sweat and swear to the final call
some might think they have something more
but they all end up on dark river’s shore

well, dark river, is all that remains
dark river, take me home again

This one is about Summer and feel good music. Getting past the last year and a half feels real good. Man what a ride we have had. Now Peeps get after that Summer vibe.

Enjoy the download as well my friends.

Summer

Lyrics:
How long until this feeling dies down
How long will it take
How long until this feeling wears off
How long before I break
How long until these tears start to dry
How long do they last
How long until this pain is dead and gone
How long please make it fast
A phoncecall but no one seems to be at home
A lone cry across the sea
The phone rings and then I feel the grip of hope
I hold on to my sanity

How Long

Destiny

EXTENDED COMMERCIAL VERSION - the short Single version can be found here:
https://soundcloud.com/peterheckmann/salahuddin-the-guardian

A melodic ethnic flavored soundscape with a pensive pulse, which becomes increasingly more anxious and powerful toward the end with off-set percussive elements and off-beat /syncopated orchestral SFX.

The mourning violins and the female vocal lament (separately first and then as call / response) create an atmosphere of sadness - anguish and pain of war. The ending briefly highlights the battle and then just evaporates ... into history, or?

Composer: H. Luqman, P. Heckmann and A. Mutlu
Creative Director: M. Fairouz
Production / Mix / Master: P. Heckmann for IPI Ltd. and Rose Records and Publishing

Arabic to English Translation:
---- Oh, Night - Oh, My Eyes 
Night passes and day arrives 
My heart desired you from its core 
If the world ends and stars disappear 
Words will not suffice to reveal my love 
---- Oh, my love - Oh, light of to my eyes 
My love above all creation 
My love everlasting, strong like fire 
I met you on a day in past times 
Your face shall still brightly shine 
Everlasting love and kindness 
---- Oh, my love - Oh, light to my eyes 
Love that lasts, lasts and lasts 
Do you see me, do you want me? 
Tenderness in your face, life in your soul 
Lighting up my world, lighting up life 
(A story like no other, a story without an end)
---- Oh, my love  - Oh, light to my eyes

Prophecies

Ancient Voices

I was honored when https://soundcloud.com/graphicsontelevisions asked me to remake ‘Tattlesnakes’ from their fantastic album ‘Pun’. Maybe it’s the wildest one, unpredictable but coherent, it inspired me immediately !!

I've remixed to my taste their original studio stems (drums & keyboards), adding my own vocals, guitars & more... hard recommendation of headphones again !!

Lyrics are from another of my ancient poems, where I played with oxytone & eproparoxytone rhymes (translated below but with lost effect in English).

Full versions album here: https://soundcloud.com/graphicsontelevisions/sets/another-pun-a-brand-new
Downloadable: https://graphicsontelevisions.bandcamp.com/album/another-pun
I suggest checking out the original tracks too: @https://graphicsontelevisions.bandcamp.com/album/pun !!!

Letra  /  Lyrics:

Claro que ya no soy plástico,  /  Clearly I’m not plastic anymore,
ni estoy falto de razón,  /  nor lacking of reason,
puesto que, siendo simpático,  /  since, being friendly,
de sangre es mi corazón.  /  of blood is my heart.

Claro que soy esporádico  /  Clearly I am sporadic
en locos cantos espléndidos.  /  in splendid crazy singings.

Gritos de loco dolor,  /  Screams of insane pain,
llenos de mudo amargor,  /  full of mute bitterness,
claro que ya no son gélidos.  /  clearly are not icy anymore.

Claro que ya soy simpático  /  Clearly I’m yet friendly
y estoy falto de amargor,  /  and lacking of bitterness,
puesto que mi corazón,  /  since my heart,
siendo de sangre, no es plástico.  /  being of blood, is not plastic.

Y en mis cantos esporádicos,  /  And in my sporadic singings,
claro que ya no soy gélido.  /  clearly I’m not icy anymore.

Gritos de loca razón,  /  Screams of mad reason,
ya no gritos de dolor,  /  not screams of pain anymore,
claro que ya son espléndidos!  /  clearly are yet splendid!
