Lovely, calm track, or should I say, "simply wonderful"? The drum beat gives this a country folk feel. I love the whistle in the middle!

I feel instantly at ease while I listen to this. The power of music, eh? Lovely.

Lovely. Mellow. Love me a bit of whistling, too...

Very original sound. Love the lyrics 👏

Having reached over 1000 subs on SoundCloud we decided to release an album we are both very proud of. We have put all our effort into producing the very best album we could. We have written, performed, mixed and mastered it all on a trusty home studio and we hop you enjoy listening to it as much as we did writing, performing and recording it

Melancholy Blue

Music, lyrics & production by Sergey Ruban

Снег, снег, снег
Падая кружится за моим окном                           
Снег, снег, белый снег
Что-то мне не спится, все мысли о былом.

А знаешь, что в детстве тот снег
Белее, желаннее, сказочней был.
А может быть мы уже стали черствее
Ведь детства корабль наш уплыл.
Как будто во сне мы живём и стареем
Но только нас снег разбудил.

Снег, снег, снег
Мне тревожит душу и ночной покой
Снег, снег, первый снег
Как же так? Тепло мне стало вдруг с тобой.

А помнишь, как тоже шёл снег
Когда нас свела той зимою судьба.
И мы словно дети, счастливые дети
Играли в снежки во дворе.
И радуясь снегу, забыв всё на свете
Встречали весну в декабре

Но время как птица летит
И снег уж не тот, как вторая любовь.
Метель заметёт те следы во дворе
Расстают былые мечты.
Но порою нам летом не хватает так снега
Чтоб просто ощутить время первой любви.
Словно выпал первый снег.

Снег

Lyrics

I've been searching for meaning in the eye of a storm,
Somewhere to shelter that's cosy and warm.
Where candlelight flickers, shadows dance on the walls,
In comfort I'll wish for the end of the war

There's no reason to feel the way that I do,
While I'm working away, I think of home and of you.
My memory slips through the hours of the night,
I wish you were here still holding me tight.

As the wind that is blowing and rattles my door, 
I could have done better, I could have done more. 
When someone beside me held out a hand,
And whispered the words that helped me to stand. 

I noticed a change in my body and mind,
In the quiet of a moment that's so hard to find.
When people like us are so easy to please,
Why do we struggle for one second of peace?

Let loose the shackles and unburden my chains,
Everything changes but still stays the same.
It's driving me crazy, It's breaking my heart,
They can't stop the bullets that tare lives apart.

I've  been searching for meaning in the eye of a storm,
Somewhere to shelter that's cosy and warm.
Where candlelight flickers, shadows dance on the walls,
In comfort I'll wish for the end of the war. 

As the wind that is blowing and rattles my door, 
I could have done better, I could have done more. 
When someone beside me held out a hand,
And whispered the words that helped me to stand. 

I noticed a change in my body and mind,
In the quiet of a moment that's so hard to find.
When people like us are so easy to please,
Why do we struggle for one second of peace?

I've  been searching for meaning in the eye of a storm,
Somewhere to shelter that's cosy and warm.
Where candlelight flickers, shadows dance on the walls,
In comfort I'll wish for the end of the war. 

There's no reason to feel the way that I do,
While I'm working away, I think of home and of you.
My memory slips through the hours of the night,
I wish  you were here still holding me tight.

ON PARLE DE NOUS

ON PARLE DE NOUS (Chanson Française)

***EN FRANCAIS PLUS BAS*** (Original song, mix, mastering, vocals and lyrics by KidOfEarth) ⚠️ © (Copyright France) I did this for fun and this track is above all a test on the voice  because I like the blues! After 5 whisky, 50 cigarettes, 10 coffes, a few amphetamines, 2 bars of 100% cocoa dark chocolate and 200 takes to work on my voice here is the result...

TOPIC
About thirty years ago, I lived on a boulevard with incessant and very noisy road traffic. This artery was used dozens of times by emergency vehicles going to the emergency room near my home. And to top it off, the rooms of the apartment I rented were adjoining the delivery dock of a supermarket. Hell!
My next door neighbors were an elderly couple who had lived there forever. When I asked them if the noise didn't bother them, they both replied "Ah but not at all! We're used to it and we couldn't live without it, that reassures us!"
You will therefore have understood that this burlesque blues is for them who would certainly not have supported living in the countryside.
Raph aka KOE ✌️😎

Lyrics
"The nature it gives me the glands"
when I'm tripping around the boulevards
I watch the racing cars backfire
it puts a little animation
I like the ron-ron of the traffic jams.
The nature it gives me the glands
I'm bored, I want to hang myself
if there are no bars and easy girls
I'm like a chick in its omelet...
I dream of a nice apartment
in the middle of a crossroads
to enjoy the charming sound
sirens, that's velvet.
The songs of the piafs every morning
it wakes me up early and I'm not well
the rooster that brays in the barnyard
It's making me nervous, I'm counting down...
"hey Polo! Open the window! It is not well?
eh! Polo!?..."

Cette piste est avant tout un test sur la voix car j'aime le blues!
Après 5 whiskys, 50 clopes, 10 cafés, quelques amphétamines, 2 tablettes de chocolat noir 100% cacao et 200 prises pour travailler ma voix, voici le résultat...

TOPIC
Il y a plus de trente ans, j'ai habité sur un boulevard au trafic routier incessant et très bruyant. Cette artère était empruntée des dizaines de fois par les véhicules de secours qui se rendaient aux urgences près de chez moi. Et pour combler le tout, les chambres de l'appartement que je louais étaient mitoyennes avec le quai de livraison d'un supermarché. L'enfer!
Mes voisins de palier étaient un couple de personnes âgées qui vivait là depuis toujours. Quand je leur est demandé si le bruit ne les dérangeait pas, ils m'ont répondu tous les deux "Ah mais pas du tout! On a l'habitude et on ne pourrait plus s'en passer, ça nous rassure!"
Vous aurez donc compris que ce blues burlesque est pour eux qui n'auraient certainement pas supporté de vivre à la campagne.
Raph alias KOE ✌️😎

"La nature ça m'fout les glandes"
Quand j'me trimballe sur les boulevards
je mate les bolides qui pétaradent
ça met un peu d'animation
moi j'aime le ron-ron des bouchons.
La nature ça me fout les glandes
je m'emmerde, j'ai envie de me pendre
si il n'y a pas des bars et des minettes
Je suis comme un oeuf dans une omelette...
Moi je rêve d'un bel appartement
au beau milieu d'un carrefour
pour apprécier le son charmant
des sirènes, ça c'est du velours.
Le chant des piafs tous les matins
ça me réveille tôt et je suis pas bien
le coq qui braille dans la basse-cour
ça me rend nerveux, je fais le compte à rebours...
"hé Polo! Ouvre la fenêtre! On est pas bien là?
hein! Polo!?..."

FOR YESTERDAY

Yesterday felt so easy
Yesterday felt so good
Yesterday felt so easy
Yesterday felt so good

Walked to the gate
Not a worry in the sky
Turned to my baby and I waved her goodbye
Saw her through the window
Sweet tear in her eye
Oh I long for yesterday
I long for yesterday
Yesterday
I long for yesterday

I picked up the phone
Dialed a memorized number
Told her I love her didn’t talk about the weather
Sat at my desk
Wrote the first of many letters
Oh I long for yesterday
I long for yesterday
Yesterday
I long for yesterday

It was so easy
It was so good

I went to the bar
Started talking to my neighbor
Nobody thought I was a sicko stranger
Didn’t think twice
I gave my name and number
Oh I long for yesterday
I long for yesterday
Yesterday
I long for yesterday

It was so easy
It was so good
It was so easy
It was so good

For Yesterday Scantily Clad

Lyrics

I've been waiting for the winds to change, To blow me back to shore.
I've been drifting here for several days, It makes me want her more.
You can see I broke her heart - and I know I let her down,
I was careless in the ways of love. So what do I do now?

Blue as I am I still have faith, I can turn this ship around, before it’s too late
Blue as I am I'll plead my case, before I run aground, before it’s too late

The sun and the moon shone down on me, It gave me time to think.
She's all I want, she's all I need to pull me back from the brink.
Sally said "Don't play that game!", "Your lies tore me apart".
"Why not be true with how you feel?", "Now's a good time to start".
I stood in amazement and nailed to the spot, My heartbeat started to race.
I took in the beauty that stood there before me, As she put me in my place.

Blue as I am I still have faith, I can turn this ship around, before it’s too late
Blue as I am I'll plead my case, before I run aground, before it’s too late

The sun  and the moon shone down on me, it gave  me time to think,
She's all I want, she's  all I need to pull me back from the brink.
Who am I fooling? No one but myself, I have to think this through.
What am I doing? I'm constantly screwing, everything up it's true.
If only the seconds didn't pass like hours and my mouth wasn't so damn dry.
I'd give her the reasons if I had the power, enough so I could try,

Blue as I am I still have faith, I can turn this ship around, before it’s too late
Blue as I am I'll plead my case, before I run aground, before it’s too late

Lyrics...

I'll be the last one to know,
When the lights go out,
I've been living in the dark,
With my fear and doubts,
It doesn't really matter,
What offer you propose
Because every day is wasted,
As I slowly decompose.

We rise and we fall,
Then the rubber hits the road,
We drive overnight,
It's never easy so I'm told
And the song that is playing,
Takes me back to my youth,
At journeys end,
I'll stop and face the truth.

Oh somebody hold me,
I think I've lost it all
Won't somebody ask me,
Was it worth it all
Oh somebody take me
I think I've lost my way
Oh somebody kiss me
And make me live again

With all my days numbered
From the first until last
You'd think I'd had a ball
Well you'd think I'd had a blast
I drank all my tequila
My whisky and wine
To drown out all the noise
And passage of time

As my memories dim
In the cold light of day
I'll politely ask you
If I should have stayed
As I feel the earth shifting
Here beneath my feet
The drummers are marching
To the sound of a different beat

Oh somebody hold me
I think I've lost it all
Won't somebody ask me
Was it worth it all
Oh somebody take me
I think I've lost my way
Oh somebody kiss me
And make me live again

When the lights go out
Remember me
When the lights go out
Remember me
When the lights…

When the Lights go Out

Whispers

Original song by Phil Dutton & Les Corlett.

Lyrics...

Don't take the colour from my dreams,
Don't make me see in black and white,
There's no sense to it,
A love so delicate, 
All of the things.
I think I lost along the way, I must admit it.
In the early morning light, I sometimes feel I miss it.

I shouldn't feel the way I do,
I found a way to rig the game,
And I love you.
Is it any wonder that I can't help myself?
I hold on tightly to the things that make me smile.
Oh if it's wonderful, simply wonderful,
I'd die I'd die I'd die, 
wonderful, simply wonderful
I'd die I'd die, A happy man.
                       
I still have a touch of that fatal charm,
You still have a blush in your cheeks.
been away too long,   
And it feels so wrong
I feeling paranoid,
Wrap me up,. in my dreams.
Restless as I lay here, I need to get some sleep.

I shouldn't feel the way I do,
I found a way to rig the game,
And I love you.
Is it any wonder that I can't help myself?
I hold on tightly to the things that make me smile.
Oh if it's wonderful, simply wonderful,
I'd die I'd die I'd die, 
wonderful, simply wonderful
I'd die I'd die, A happy man...

I'd Die a Happy Man

Go your own way and don't let anyone tell you anything. Even if it is difficult and there are some hurdles to overcome. You can do it. In the end, it feels good.

go your way

An original song by Phil Dutton & Les Corlett.

Lyrics...

Find a moon lit pool and swim, swim, swim...

'Heading off in a new direction, 
 The way ahead is now clear to me now'.
Swim, swim, swim.
Swim, swim, swim.

I'll take my time till the movement wakes me,
I smile and watch the world pass by,
Swim, swim, swim. 
Swim, swim, swim.   

We are just lost souls
Looking for connection
Trying to find a reason
Trying to find an answer
Looking for a soul mate
Before it is too late
Whisper from the darkness
I cannot seem to hear
A figure in the distance
I cannot seem to see
You are a beautiful soul
That cannot fill the hole

In my heart, I'm searching
For a love that's true and real
But the world keeps on turning
I'm longing for something to heal
I'm reaching out in silence
Hoping you'll understand
That together we can find
A love that is here and grand

The World Keeps Turning

PATERNITY


if you’re going down
down onto the sea
don’t leave without me


boarded up the house
threw away the keys
blown down to my knees


once we lived as a family
splendid circle of three


fifth of bourbon won’t
kill the memories
what you meant to me


memory of a family
partner, kiddo and me:
rocky beach and light house beam
counting rabbits in sunset dream


once we lived as a family
splendid circle of three


if you’re going down
down into the mud
don’t leave without me
