Copperfield has all-too-vivid recollection of the terrifying storm at Yarmouth and the tragic end to a near-to-shore rescue attempt.

As Clearly As I See

As clearly as I see what happened then
Before me now, it happens again

Greet the faces, scenes and figures in the fire
The howl and the roar rattling windows, pews and doors
Sheets of lead ripped clean from the high church spire
The dark invests the storm with terror in new forms

Fearful of falling stacks, the showered salt rains down
Streets strewn with sand dunes; trees torn from the ground
The tremendous sea in the grip of the blinding crown
High watery walls whip and engulf this shattered town

As clearly as I see
It happens again

The ship’s bell rang on deck; she rose with two men gone
He made toward the wreck, striving valiantly and strong
They drew him to the shore and tried by all means and skills
So shaken to the core, a generous and meek heart stilled

Guest player: Steve Pumphrey - guitar solo

As Clearly As I See

My interpretation of "Fields of Joy" Guitar Solo ( Lenny Kravitz featuring Slash on Lead Guitar / from the album 'MAMA SAID' released in 1991). Me played all instruments here - info below.

[additional post on 25th July 2016:  full version is here https://soundcloud.com/aerogene/fields-of-joy ]

The original song and music were written by Michael Kamen & Hal Fredricks (and performed by The New York Rock  Ensemble - 1969). Another version was later arranged by Doug Neslund  & Lenny Kravitz and all instruments except lead guitar (Backing Guitars:Elec &Acoustic, Bass, Drums, Mellotron) were played by Lenny Kravits.
Photo is borrowed from the original album, its copyright is owned by the artist and Virgin Records America.

I first covered this song about 25 years ago (soon after its release) and had not played for a long time since then...anyway, hope it works...

Who Are You (feat EBETHB)

Between Human and Nature: Composed, arranged, performed and produced by Evandro B. Lira aka Vintage Mutation.

"Between the Human and Nature lives the inner consciousness".

"The human is made up of the essential elements that constitute Nature.
Therefore, planet Earth will not survive if there is no global environmental ethical awareness, an ethical awareness for the entire world".

(Evandro B. Lira)

Between Human and Nature

Lyrics:
Oh my days
When will we begin
To see that change
Has started
Started from within

The human race
Is so divided now
What will it take
To bring us
Bring us back to base

Into the future
Into the time of love
Into the future
Bring us all back to love
Into the future

It never ends
The governments that war
Whereas the people 
Don't want it
Don't want it anymore

Who are they
To say that we should fight
Those powerful leaders
Betray us
Betray us day and night

Into the future
Into the time of love
Into the future
Bring us all back to love
Into the future

The Future

Shabboo Harper - Trust In Me (Original Mix) | Snippet

Greetings and good afternoon to my SC friends. This is the 10th and final song intended for my upcoming album ‘What Color Is Your Paradox’. It is also my 7th mind-blowing collaboration with our dear friend Carlos Vivanco (https://soundcloud.com/carlosvivanco-1, https://carlosvivanco1.bandcamp.com). 

This piece was highly entertaining and challenging to work on. We started with clearly defined regions (mine being the more techno sounding stuff… Carlos building the traditional instrument sections). I then mangled the whole thing, and tried to blur the lines more as the song progresses, until both worlds felt fully merged by the end. At least, that was the goal. I’ll let you decide if the structure succeeds in that regard. :)

The title is also quite significant to me at this point in my life; based on the idea of ‘masking’, and our growing inability to do so. 

If you aren’t familiar with the term ‘masking’, one Mental Health Care website I found defines it this way: “Masking often involves suppressing or hiding true emotions, which can lead to a buildup of unresolved feelings and contribute to increased stress, anxiety, and emotional turmoil in the long-term. In the context of mental health and neurodivergence, masking refers to the actions or coping strategies that individuals use to conceal their genuine thoughts, emotions, or challenges.”

It didn’t really occur to me at first that I was masking when I was younger. I guess that idea doesn’t resonate when you’re deeply lost in the illusion; at least, until something makes it obvious. But in hindsight, I’ve worn many masks over the course of my life (Art Director, Technician, Pre-Press Specialist and Graphic Artist would be some of my professional masks. And I would even go so far as to include Husband, Father and Son, since I was on auto-pilot during the earliest stages of those as well). 

As my life progressed, I felt more and more insincere in those roles. I felt something was wrong. I just couldn’t put my finger on it. Then COVID (something that actually required us to wear real masks. What irony!) came along, and miraculously changed that for all of us. We gained the necessary space we needed, to finally see the illusion more clearly. Now, that illusion grows more fragile and transparent by the day. So while I’m still in the early stages of trying to figure out the new paradigm… I suspect the really critical takeaway at this point is just recognizing when we’re being our genuine selves, and when we’re lost in a role; especially if that role is debilitating to our personal growth and well being.

Another thing I’m thinking a lot on these days…. Society is dependent on me playing those roles. And society doesn’t really care whether I’m happy or not (as long as I keep paying my bills, and buying their products, and believing their lies). So maybe, just maybe, society doesn’t have my best interests at heart (as I had originally hoped). Maybe… just maybe… we’re going to need to redefine who we are personally, as we stop playing along with this globally unconscious and ultimately destructive agenda.

Thick and chunky topic, I know. But that’s the way the world feels to me these days… like we needed a brisk slap across the face to wake us all up. COVID was that slap (and probably just the first of many still to come). It’s time to prioritize our own self interests; because if we don’t, they certainly won’t. So rip off those masks, and let your freak flag fly. It’s our life, and we’ll be the ones sitting on our deathbed, asking ourselves if we lived life true to ourselves…. or if we just fulfilled the role demanded by this illusion.

We hope you enjoy “Cracks In The Surface”; and it inspires you to think about what aspects of your reality are cracking. Keep in mind… if you still have a pulse, there is always time to change things up. :)

Paradox?

Cracks In The Surface | Carlos Vivanco & GrevusAnjl

So on this one we have Jim Sanders on the drums, Dave Toolan and Charlie Villiers on guitar, and myself on the bass and singing (it’s Dave you can hear adding some lovely high harmonies here and there as well). I wrote the music and words. As usual it was recorded just with the ipad on a shelf in the corner, hopefully you get the jist.

~Lyrics~
I’ve been running around all day
From London Bridge to Grand Parade
And the one thing that spurs me on
A promised land where I belong

A band of legends in my mind
The most esteemed and much maligned
And I thought I was alone
To think I nearly stayed at home

You were the one with the rueful smile
I was the one who could run a mile
It’s all coming back to me now
Your joie de vie is infectious
So carefree that it’s reckless
Ha, it’s all coming back to me now

Music and dancing, and the joy of laughing
And crashing through the decades as we fell
We took a moment right there on the floor
To marvel at the evening’s carousel

And I know I might only say it when I’m drunk
but it’s true never the less
I love you with all my heart and soul
And there’s only one thing that really breaks my heart
…my biggest regret…
I just wish we saw each other more.

All Coming Back To Me Now

True Love

■概要(Overview)
ある日、彼女はルーレットを回しました。
自分の運命は自分で決める。そう、それは運命のルーレットです。

「いつ崩壊するかわからない、砂のお城に住むのは嫌。」
「まずは山を買おう！そしてタケノコを育てて本物のお城を買うの！」

たちまち努力は実を結び、全て彼女の計画通りに進みます。
そんなある日、いつものように彼女は収穫したタケノコを売るために街を目指します。
しかし、一つのタケノコを落としてしまい、コロコロと湖に落ちていきます。
「ああ、完璧だった私の計画が崩壊していく・・」
・・・・・・・・・・・・
そんな感じの曲です。
説明が長い！くどい！・・なにはともあれ、新曲です。
Vocalサンプルも少し入れていて、英語がわからない私が聴くと「Down Down Takenoko」と聞こえたので、このタイトルになっています。

またいつものように即興ギターを組み合わせて無理やり曲にしました。
エレアコを修理して、DIも買って、ご機嫌でギターを弾きました・・ほかの音に埋もれたけど(^^)
説明が長い！くどい！はい、すみません。以上です。

■Overview
One day she spun the roulette wheel.
She decides her own destiny. Yes, it's the roulette of fate.

"I don't want to live in a sand castle, not knowing when it will collapse."
"First, let's buy a mountain! Then we'll grow bamboo shoots and buy a real castle!"

Soon her efforts bear fruit and everything goes according to her plan.
One day, as usual, she heads to town to sell the bamboo shoots she has harvested.
However, she drops a bamboo shoot and it falls into the lake.
"Ah, my perfect plan is falling apart..."
・・・・・・・・・・・・
It's a song like that.
Long explanation! Tired! ...Anyway, it's a new song.
It also includes a few vocal samples, and when I listened to it even though I don't understand English, it sounded like "Down Down Takenoko," hence the title.

Also, as usual, I combined it with improvised guitar and forced it into a song.
I repaired the electric acoustic guitar, bought a DI, and played the guitar in a good mood...although it was buried in other sounds (^^)
Long explanation! Tired! Yes, sorry. that's all.

■歌詞
運命のルーレット　回り始めて
身震いしているの　さっきからずっと

砂のお城に住んでいるような気分で
今日まで生きてきた

抱えきれないほどの　タケノコを元手に生きていく
見渡す限りの竹林　それを育てていきましょう

山を買うの
タケノコの山
回り始めたのルーレット


遠心力で投げ出されそうになってからルールに気付くよりも
いっそ　自分で回したルーレットの
結末を見てみたくなったの


それから十年の　歳月が過ぎても　尚回る
見渡す限りの竹林　トラックでタケノコ運ぶ

街に向かう途中の道で
転がるタケノコ　湖に

水中のパンダ：Down Down Takenoko..!(落ちてこい！)
私：No!(落ちないで！)
・・・

運命のルーレット
止まってしまうわ・・・

私が手にしたものが崩れてゆく
いまはもう　ただの砂の城にしか見えないわ
悲しいけれど
運命のルーレット

■Lyrics
The roulette of fate begins to spin
I've been trembling ever since

I've lived up until today feeling like I was living in a sandcastle.

Living with an abundance of bamboo shoots as an asset
Let's grow the bamboo forest as far as the eye can see.

I'm going to buy a mountain
That's a mountain of bamboo shoots
The roulette is starting to spin now


Rather than realizing the rules after you're about to be thrown out by centrifugal force.
Anyway, I wanted to see the outcome of the roulette wheel I spun myself.


Even after ten years have passed since then, it still keeps going.
Bamboo forest as far as the eye can see, transporting bamboo shoots by truck

On the road on the way to town
Bamboo shoots are rolling into the lake

Underwater Panda: Down Down Takenoko..!
Me: No! (Don't fall!)
...

Ah, if this continues, the roulette wheel of fate will stop...

What I have in my hands is falling apart
Now it just looks like a sandcastle
Although sad
roulette of fate

Down Down Takenoko

Hey There Mr Fly

NB4X ~ Soul Chemistry (mixed by K.O.D)

Lyrics~ 




Your wealth is all they wish to chew 

You're making up the child abuse 


You're dressing up the severed wound 

You're fessing up the bed of truth 


Your kind is often sold a lie 

Dont mind appealing to the eye 


You're welding solved mysteries

You're held in solemn industries 


Who could induce such a spell

Who where and when go to hell 


A weary eye inflicts the pay 

At least you tried, so they say the same

pain
pain


A blind man leads you to a gate 

Unnasigned, he feeds you all the bait 


Informal fickle dumb indeed 

You're torn between the empty seed


In armstice 

But no one sees you


Stole a promise 

Forgot how leaving feels 


To live life 

And die dead 

To rid a wife 

Of what she did


All that will follow agitates you 

Dont try to swallow he who hates you


Keep the hollow rumour there

Weep for the sorrow groomsmen bare

Shadows at the silver gate

And I don't check messages here
