PRVA KISA

A super chill electronic vibe with a slice of bass, guitar and a smooth phat beat on the side. Take it for a ride.
Composer Fernando Melo

This song is about the Riots that occurred all around the United States during the summer of 2020.  This song is Anti-Riot, not Anti-Protest.

Bring down the night      
Bring in the light
Lets see what we can see
You might not like the truth      
But its all we can do
Cause the truth can set you free
You think you're a player        
But peel back the layers
What is real?
What is real?

You had all your teachers        
Your Socialist preachers
What's the deal?
What's the deal?
What's the deal?

If you let the Devil              
Crawl up inside your head
He'll steal all your light
And bring on the Night of the Living Dead

All broken glass                   
Rubble and trash
A war zone of fire and smoke
Is this what you wanted?           
Why are you haunted?
A darkness within your soul
Somebody's paying               
The buses are waiting
You really
Thought you would win?
To the next city                 
Its really a pity
The Feds
Already moved in, 
Already moved in

If you let the Devil                
Crawl up inside your head
He'll steal all your light
And bring on the Night of the Living Dead
Oh no, no, no

Look around town                 
You burned it all down
Feelin good
Am I right?
Back to the hotel               
Feelin so swell 
But you might change
Your diaper tonight

Justice is coming
Computers are buzzing
They're on somebody's list

You thought you were careful
But the cameras are dreadful
A little something you missed
Something you missed

If you let the Devil                
Crawl up inside your head
He'll steal all your light
And bring on the Night of the Living Dead

Sphinx & Camel

Ce titre, composé originalement en 1994 et réarrangé en 2024 pour MCDC fait parti de la trilogie  ‘des amours tumultueux’ du micro-album PHONOGRAPHE de MCDC .  Il parle des états d'âme d’une personne amoureuse qui vient d'être trompée et qui est triste et en colère. Le rythme soutenu  de la pièce  démontre une force de caractère de la personne face à cette trahison.

Thinking of u.wav

A Small Rock Madly

A lack of hope won't keep me sane.
Hold off the rain.
Maintain my brain
Whilst I'm awaiting soft release.
Don't read me meek.
Down with them freaks.

One day, I was drinking, and the years were flying by.
Next, I'm overthinking, and I'm walking down your line.
One day, I was somebody with nothing left to lose.
Next, I'm softly glistening, in middle age, refused.

A little escape from this storm.
My thoughts are worn.
My trousers torn.
You might be calling out the fakes.
You left me; shakes.
You took my breaks.
I need a holiday from you.
You leave me blue.
You give no clue.

One day, I was flying, and the clouds were far below.
Next, I'm overthinking all the facts  I used to know.
One day, I was heavenly, yet now I'm back to front.
Now I'm slowly wrinkling, in middle age, begun.

One day, I was drinking, and the years were passing by.
Next, I'm overthinking, and I'm taking down the lines.
Once, I was just nobody with somebody to love.
Next, I'm barely listening to guidance from above.

Overthinking

This is a reworking of a older folk song of mine as rock and roll.  I think it works better like this.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Looked mighty fine, couldn't help but see
How bout that? she's looking back at me
Ignorant, lonely, I was all of that stuff
She smiled at me, that was enough
We gave it time, we had some fun
Decided she should be my only one
Screwed up my nerve, decided to ask her
Knew that we'd be happy         ever after

Chorus:
I couldn't have been more mistaken
I was travelling a road I never should have taken
it's my own damn fault that my heart is breaking
I'm Never going to do it again

Verse 2:
Fake it 'till you make it, they said to me
Never pass up an opportunity
The point of the process is how much you can make
It's a zero sum game a little give a lot of take
Get a lot of money then make a little more
After all it's only a way of keepin' score
Gonna find  my happiness in wealth and fame
Going figure out the rules of the game

Chorus:
I couldn't have been more mistaken
I was travelling a road I never should have taken
I see what I did and my confidence is shaken
I'm Never going to do it again

Bridge:
Mistakes are made
Life's like that
but mostly we recover 
we find our way back
But you never know
if one day or another
we'll screw up so bad 
we never recover

Verse 4:
Uncovered this stuff, burned real good
Used it to power anything we could
It looked to be something that could satisfy
A hunger for power that would - never run  dry
All we had to do was drill and dig
Power would be cheap, profits would be big
We'll never have to worry about expenses
Cuz there'd never be any consequences

Chorus:
We couldn't have been more mistaken
We're travelling a road We never should have taken
it's our own damn fault that our world is breaking
We're Never going to do it again
