Redeemed Revolution: 40 Incredible new tracks from the SoundCloud community

I had to have an operation on my left hand, which has meant I haven't been able to play guitar for a couple of months now. 

Anyway, it's on the mend although I still don't have much feeling in my little finger and the side of my hand, but it's getting better, so my guitar is coming home, not fast enough, but my baby's coming home. 
Here she is...

My Baby's Coming Home

Winter Road

A look at the old photographs of my youngest brought a lot of images to mind, as vivid as being there. Living in the joy of the moment is a challenge when life is busy, but taking a breath and sitting back and being able to smile at all the spilled milk of life is where wellness abides.

This little ditty is really a celebration of the simple things in Nature, and all around us, from the sun in the sky, to the rain, to flowers and gardens and an impressionist view of colour and light. All these things bring smiles and the sense of euphoria (flying) that just being alive, breathing, and enjoying life causes to stir.

Here's to little children, growing up too fast, and all the tea parties enjoyed along the way to adulthood. The best investment in life is investing in our kids.
A little Carpe Diem to launch into the New Year.

Happy 2022 SC!

Lyrics:
Sometimes, the sky is all it takes
To bring a real smile, not a fake
And when I feel so light, 
I'm flying, yeah I'm flying ooh

Sometimes a little bit of rain
Makes the flowers grow 
And my garden turn to pictures
Washed with colours of the rainbow
Sometimes that's all it takes.

It's in the little things of life
A little cup o' tea
And the dolls all dressed up
Sometimes, it's just the little things
That bring you joy
Sometimes, that's all it takes

Sometimes, the sky is all it takes
To bring a real smile, not a fake
And when I feel so light, 
I'm flying, yeah I'm flying ooh

It's in the little things of life
A little cup o' tea
And the dolls all dressed up
Sometimes, it's just the little things
That bring you joy
Sometimes, that's all it takes

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes...
Sometimes, that's all it takes

A rain dance for the bush fires
A sun dance for the floods
A war dance for anyone    
Who doesn’t give a fuck

It’s murder on earth’s dance floor
We may never dance again
It’s time to pick up that dam phone
If you’re a ’Strictly’ fan

It's murder on earth’s dance floor
 t's murder on earth’s dance floor

A shoot out at the oil coral
Sundance at my side
You know that he can bust a move
And he can  jive

Dance like no one’s watching
Dance so full of love
Dance those socks till they come off
Take off those kid gloves

It's murder on earth’s dance floor
It's murder on earth’s dance floor
It's murder on earth’s dance floor
It's murder on earth’s dance floor

Instrumental

Gonna  move your feet, gonna eat less meat
This dance floor needs repair
if ya wanna lift that glitter ball
Dance like Fred Astaire

and dance like no one’s watching
Dance with so much love
Dance those socks till they come off
Take off those kid gloves

It’s murder on earth’s dance floor
It’s murder on earth’s dance floor
It's murder on earth’s dance floor
It's murder on earth’s dance floor

Instrumental

A rain dance for the bush fires
A sun dance for the floods
A war dance for anyone    
Who doesn’t give a fuck

It’s murder on earth’s dance floor
We may never dance again
It's time to pick up that dam phone
If you're a Strictly fan

It's murder on earth's dance floor
It's murder on earth's dance floor
It's murder on earth's dance floor
It's murder on earth's dance floor

Squidly doot, snidely dat, hot dam

■歌詞
この世界に生まれてきた　訳も分からず
それぞれに　別々の　心を持って
豚さんも牛さんもこの魚さんも
みんな血が流れているんだよって

どこかの街のレストランで
どこかの父親が子供にそうやって教えていたのさ

溶けて　混ざって　どこまでも　
広がっていく命　寂しくなんかないよ　
ここにいるから

夢の中で　現れた　あなたは　僕の目の前
思わず涙があふれてしまって
どんなに会いたかったか伝えたんだけど
祖母の目は　真っ黒で　僕は全てを知る

そこで目が覚めて　涙をぬぐって
悲しさはしまって
手を伸ばせば　そこに　いるはずだから

溶けて　混ざって　どこまでも　
広がっていった　寂しくなんかないよ
全ては　つながって　いる事を知ったから

■ Lyrics (translation)
Born in this world
Without knowing what it is
Each has a different heart
Pig, cow, this fish
Everyone's blood is flowing

At a restaurant in some city
Some father was teaching his child that way.

Life that melts and mixes and spreads forever
I'm not lonely
Because everyone is here

You appeared in front of me in a dream
Involuntarily tears overflowed
I told you how much I wanted to meet
My grandmother's eyes were pitch black and I understood everything at that time

I woke up there and wiped my tears
Sadness is gone
If I reach out, you should be there

It melted and mixed and spread forever
I'm never lonely
I understand that everything is connected

I AM HONORED TO HAVE DONE THIS BEAUTIFUL COLLAB (OUR FIRST AND NOT THE LAST) WITH THE GREAT JOHN PALMER https://soundcloud.com/john-palmer WHO I HAVE ADMIRED FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND THE TIMING WAS FINALLY RIGHT FOR US TO CREATE SOME MAGIC TOGETHER.  JOHN'S SILKY SMOOTH AND ON POINT VOCALS SIMPLY SHINE (I MADE CERTAIN THEY WERE THE FOCAL POINT) IN THIS TUNE.  THE MOTIVATION FOR THIS TUNE WAS ME PURGING SOME REAL DEMONS IN MY LIFE AND MOVING ON FROM THOSE WHO REALLY DO NOT HAVE MY BEST INTERESTS IN MIND AND WHO I REALIZED ARE ACTUALLY VERY SELF ABSORBED.  SO, THIS IS A CLEASING TUNE FOR ME.  I ASKED JOHN TO LAY DOWN SOME VOCALS BECAUSE I KNEW WHATEVER HE CAME UP WITH WOULD SIMPLY WORK, I NEVER HAD ANY DOUBT.  THIS IS THE KIND OF TUNE THAT YOU CAN HIT REPEAT TEN TIMES, LAY ON THE COUCH, AND FADE AWAY WITH A GOOD DRINK, A GOOD SMOKE, OR JUST BE WITH YOUR THOUGHTS, OR SIMPLY NONE AT ALL,,,BIG LOVE TO ALL AND THANK YOU JOHN, I AM HONORED TO HAVE COMPLETED THIS TUNE WITH YOU MY FRIEND.

REFLECTIONS NEVER LIE / ROOTS DUBMAN & JOHN PALMER

Since pre-historic times, man have been in love with colours, collecting pigments from various rocks and plants to express themselves with cave and body paintings....the artist was born.
In medieval times great painters paid Immense amounts of money to have certain colours produced with particular pigments, these pigments came from all over the world, these same pigments today are worth small fortunes, and the painters knew how important they were, their painting still look alive today.....this is my homage to colours...
Big thank you to Audio Ollie for providing a world class free piano called Memoir Piano, visit his site he's a 5 star library creator.
Special thank you this time goes to an artist you can find on Pixabay, his name is Ivanovgood, after a few messages he was graceful enough to allow me to use his work as my artwork.
Please visit his page, it will brighten your day, immensely talented he is https://pixabay.com/users/ivanovgood-1982503/

This is the 4th song posted from the album I started using demo tracks given to me by Wou-Wou & the Wormling during the start of the pandemic when I had extra time due to society closing down. This song was inspired by Black Lives Matter and my own experiences with the police growing up in the California East Bay Area in the 80s. 

It has been an incredible opportunity working with Wou-Wou, Stricknice, and Bitzone on this album. I feel like we have a realized sound and vision for the overall style of the album. It is exciting to know that we have many more tracks ready to be released. 

Massive thanks to RUIZZOIDMAN (E-Ruizzo) for joining us on Cruising Through. RUIZZOIDMAN has massively contributed to the positive vibes and individual creative spirit that defines our SoundCloud community. This is the second track I have had the honor of RUIZZOIDMAN joining in on. Big ups RUIZZOIDMAN!!!

Lyrics:

Hey I caught you sniffing
Get off my tail 
What you think you sniffing
Get off my tail
Hey I see you sniffing
Get off my tail
What you think your sniffing

Is it the neighborhood I’m cruising through
Is it cause I’m rolling deep with my crew
Is it cause I don’t ever trust you
Is it your suspicious of me

Hey I caught you sniffing
What you think you sniffing
Hey I see you sniffing
What you think your sniffing

Is it your suspicious of me

Still feeling shamed I reclaim that part of me you took
With looks of disdain as I refrained afraid to get booked For nothing 
I shook from your tree
In fact it probably be 
My inherited fruit first 
That now you attempt to hoard in force
In tradition with your legacy of scarcity  
But my ancestral fraternity is inherently abundant 
There’s nothing to defund from it
Word

Yea, that’s what I’m talkin’ about

This is the neighborhood I’m cruising through
This is my neighborhood and I’m cruising through
This is our neighborhood and we goin’ cruise through

[REVISED] Happy Sunday, my dear SC friends. I have an exciting new song to share with you. But first, a little reality check (brought to you by the makers of Common Sense; the fragrance we all crave right now). :) 

As you may have read in my previous liner notes, a huge part of my musical slow-down has nothing to do with music. I love creating this stuff, and I love interacting with this community. This is a very happy place for me. 

The problem lies in how I’m using my brain when I’m not involved in my musical life. And I need to take responsibility for that. 

But here’s the issue. I can’t seem to shut off the conduit between how much suffering I perceive in the world, and how heavily that weighs on my own emotional state. I hear stories of other people’s misery, and I adopt it as my own; as if living through some of that lightens the load for the other person. It only takes writing that out, to see the flaws in my thinking.

I’ve been told more than a few times that I’m thin skinned; that I'm too sensitive to other people’s emotions, and the overall energy I pick up from the space I’m in. Truth be told, if being an empath exists, I’m probably one of them… at least to a minor degree. I’m starting to entertain a lot of these more esoteric ideas. I also love the idea of human interaction being as much telepathic as verbal; and I feel like I experience that directly when I approach a conversation with love and gratitude, and I witness the other person adopt that energy during the conversation. It’s as if the words don’t matter as much as the energy I’m projecting. So yea, I’m definitely enjoying playing with these reality bending ideas.

Here’s what I now realize. Whether it's empathy (which I still think is very important), sympathy (also important), or even pity (very unimportant); it’s probably a misuse of my energy. For example, if someone feels sorry for you, does that make you feel empowered? Or does it make you feel weak or incapable? Alternately, if someone expresses confidence in you, how does that effect your resolve? I definitely know which tanks my mood, and which bolsters me.

Clearly, I need a shift in focus. And I’m going to commit to practicing that new focus daily. For starters, I reactivated a cute little app I discovered, called Habitica. It’s a daily activities check-list, cleverly disguised as an 8-bit video game. And it motivates me to stay focused, In a very playful way. For example, my dailies include (at a minimum): 1 hour making music, 1 hour listening to other SC musicians, 20 minutes exercise (including 20 minutes reading), and the one I’m really excited about… 30 minutes piano practice.

I began this last week. And it was the best week I’ve had in a long time!!

Now… the really exciting part. This song contains some of what I learned from my piano practice; the minor pentatonic scales. And my piano practice was inspired by one of the nicest people I’ve met on Soundcloud; our dear friend Carlos Vivanco (https://soundcloud.com/carlosvivanco-1). 

Carlos has offered me a few music lessons, as well as some wonderful practice routines and suggestions (my favorite so far… don’t practice to a metronome. Practice to a drum loop. A serious game changer for me. Now I feel like I’m playing along with another musician, which is a blast). 

There is an old saying I truly believe; when the student is ready, the teacher appears. I’m grateful to call Carlos one of my teachers. I’m confident your teachers (person or otherwise) are out there too. You just need to be open to possibilities; and embrace them with all your heart, when they arrive. I hope you enjoy ‘Renewing My Artistic License’ as much as I enjoyed creating it. And I hope these words inspire you to more deeply pursue something you really love. :)

LYRICS:
Oh this life under the stars
I am weathered, I am worn
But these trade winds blow
And guide me home
Breathe in breathe out
No complications
I take my chances
When the dice are thrown

I’m thankful for the turning of the tide
Watch the waters flow and cast my fears aside
But there’s a time ………to take the strain
And the sun ……………….will rise again

I have no answers
To my questions
Though I wonder 
At the magic of it all
The hourglass
Tells its story
As these grains of sand 
Gently fall

I’m thankful for the turning of the tide
Watch the waters flow and cast my fears aside
But there’s a time ………to take the strain
And the sun ……………….will rise again

Oh this life under the stars
I am weathered, I am worn
But these trade winds blow
And guide me home

The Turning Of The Tide
