Sparkling Waves: 15 Shiny new songs from the SoundCloud community

I wrote this song after an in-depth conversation with my mother who spent years searching for her mother.  It's in 7/8; perhaps reflecting the irregularity of relationships.

Mastered by Ivan O'Shea

(Because you asked Jeff.  When my Ma met her mother she commented on the colour of her eyes and said, "They're brilliant blue..." and it's the way she said it and looked that stuck in my mind)

Brilliant Blue
Her eyes are brilliant blue, mine are brown
I take after my father, they say he was a farmer
My mother's at the window as I say goodbye
I've only just met her, she is 84 0r 85

Refrain: Brilliant blue eyes, greet my brown
I've waited all my life, for this

2lb 4oz wrapped in cotton wool, placed in a cardboard shoebox
given to nuns in Bloom Street
Manchester in 1940, I was one of many a child and mother
sent from Catholic Ireland

Refrain      Lahlahlahs

Sixty-two years since we met, mother
I just wanted to see you one time, if you want me too
Your eyes are brilliant blue, mine are brown
as I leave the white-haired woman
It was dead of winter I was found

Lahlahlahs   Refrain

Brillinat Blue Master

Chacun d’ entre nous mérite d’ avoir un jour particulier, un jour où tout va bien, sans problèmes, se laisser aller n’ importe où dans la tête, voyager au gré de ses envies sans aucune frontières, être complètement cool , quoi ! Voilà donc le propos de ma chanson.
que je vous laisse découvrir. 
Nice farniente for summer to everybody.
« J’ VAIS BIEN » (lyrics)
J’ aperçois le soleil dans mon sommeil 
Il n’ a qu’à m’ emmener ou ça lui plaît 
California beach c’ est là 
Je pars en voyage en tapis de plage    
Sous mon plafond’ étoiles, je mets les voiles

Aujourd’hui, j’ vais bien , je fais des bulles dans mon bain 
Aujourd’hui j’ pense à rien, à rien
Je t’ emmène bien loin, les idées c’ est pour demain
Aujourd’hui c’ est trop bien,  trop bien

 Un collier de corail sur ton chandail 
Tu t’ appelles la folle au parasol.                                      
California song, chaise longue 
Dis, tu me suis dans mon envie de ne rien faire 
Tu sais des fois l’ hiver tourne à l’ envers 

Aujourd’hui, j’ vais bien , je fais des bulles dans mon bain 
Aujourd’hui j’ pense à rien, à rien
Je t’ emmène bien loin, les idées c’ est pour demain
Aujourd’hui c’ est trop bien,  trop  bien

"Each of us deserves to have a special day, a day when everything is fine, without problems, to let go anywhere in the head, to travel according to our desires without any borders, to be completely cool, whatever. .! So that's what my song is about
which I let you discover.
Nice idleness for summer to everybody.

(google lyrics  traduction: I'M GOOD
i see the sun in my sleep, He just has to take me where he likes California beach it's there
I'm going on a trip in a beach mat, Under my star ceiling I set sail
refrain: Today, I'm fine, I make bubbles in my bath Today, I think of nothing, of nothing
I'm taking you very far, ideas are for tomorrow Today is too good, too good
A coral necklace on your sweater
You call yourself the madwoman with the parasol.
California song, lounge chair
Say, you follow me in my desire to do nothing, You know sometimes winter turns upside down
Refrain:Today, I'm fine, I make bubbles in my bath Today, I think of nothing, of nothing
I'm taking you very far, ideas are for tomorrow Today is too good, too good

J' Vais Bien

From the Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum:
“Why, I am a Queen—the Queen of all the Field Mice!” . . . . They came from all directions, and there were thousands of them: big mice and little mice and middle-sized mice; and each one brought a piece of string in his mouth. [The lion had fallen asleep in a field of poppies, The Tin Man built a log wagon and the mice harnessed to the wagon, helped to pull the lion from the poppy field saving his life].

ASTEROIDS
LYRics. by SToNeRJAZZ

Some asteroids in outer space are made of cheese.
We only need to capture one of these
And we can feed everyone in the world for free.
I'm hoping it won't be a Roquefort or a Brie,
A nice sharp cheddar would be just fine with me.

Make a list check the box then move on
Lock the door, mop the floor, do the chores then move on.
Love the world if you're able, if you're not please set the table
Time to eat, wash your feet, eat your meat
Repeat with rice and beans and broccoli.

High speed snow and sleet outside
While we practice worldwide genocide
In the name of economic prosperity
How bout you, if you were boss what would You do?

Wood nymph hiding stealthily behind a giant Douglas fir
Off to the west. A most majestic tree.
She took my hand that girl with diamonds in her eyes
And said now follow me to a clearing where they were singing songs of love and war.

Getting back trying to unlock the doors
Crucifixion is the perfect antidote for lethargy
Oh can't you see.
If we had our druthers we'd be getting back to where we were before
Even though that bridge is burning brightly in the middle of a balmy night
The dog wood bloomed
Reminded me it used to be her favorite tree
When she still loved me like a bell that rings in distant memories

Are you Ready for a true love musical manifesto? Now you can finally listen to the album that tells OUR LOVE STORY from the beginning:

 In the summer of 2020, we met and it was certainly NOT A CHANCE ENCOUNTER, but an ocean and pandemic separated us from our DISTANT LOVE. We couldn’t even FLY to meet one another in person for almost a year. We were only together in our dreams and told each other; I DREAMT of you LAST NIGHT… And oh, TE EXTRAÑO we proclaimed to one another. Finally, for the first time, we were able to meet under the palm trees and our first SWEET EXPLOSIONS together burst forth like fireworks against the backdrop of the night sky. 
We got engaged under the stars and promised LET’S FIND OUR WAY so that we never have to part. We applied for a visa, and received some WHITE HOUSE MAIL, to help liven our spirits and stay positive while we waited over a year for the Visa to be approved. So many times we said, hang in there, because BABY I’M COMING FOR YOU!  So let the SUNBEAMS brighten up your day. And now, being fortunate enough to create so many wonderful memories together, we know the true DEFINITION OF SUBLIME. We are so happy to be living A STORY THAT NEVER ENDS and now, after all this time, we have had the highest highs, the lowest lows, the biggest smiles and painful tears, our COSMIC CONVERGENCE is finally almost complete !

Lyrics:
I went out
after a long time. 
I saw hustle
hate and crime.

Don´t lose hope, resist.

Damned un-cosy 
around the world, 
adult desperate 
boys and girls.

Don´t lose hope, resist.

Seem no better 
times ahead.
People start their days 
filled up with dread.

Don´t lose hope, resist.

Confusion seems to 
rule the day.
Even sunny days 
seem to be grey.

Don´t lose hope, resist.

Where is beauty? 
Where is faith?
A seed in the heart, 
which we must raise

Don´t lose hope, resist.

Hope

Lyrics:
I can show you were the crow lives now
Black feathers and king like crown
Kiss that ring when your taking the bow
Don't shake
They take flesh by the pound
Don't mistake
Love for a noun
Cause it means heartbreak
When the ups are down
heartbreak
When the ups are down
Bitch I'm over and Out
Over and Out 
I got goons in the back a the Ford
Goons and they back at the fort
Did I mention we knock and we chop
Mmm
Socks and we fill m with rocks
We bored
Yeah
Films about knocking the clocks
Out a cops on the road
Show
Flock and they raise me on shoulders
Like never Before
Woah oh woah
Yeah
Don't rag on the man with the scorn
Body bags under the porch
He don't whip in he rip off the Porsche at the store
He don't trip and he quit every time he gets bored
Every time I get
Yeah
Wanna be on the road
Wanna be on the 
I don't wanna be here
I wanna be on the road
I wanna be away
I wanna be on tour
I need everyone's attention but I also wanna be alone
We got a long night
And a long drive
I got something we can light
Make the honey that is roasting in the pipe
That's tight
10 roach
Break down
Frank Stein
Bee hives make the money that's right
What a life
Break out the wine
I'm fake your fake
That's wild
Let's walk and talk some shit for a while

Greetings all you fun and funky SC musicians. I don’t typically upload remastered versions of a song as a new track. I usually just replace the old with the new, and change the title to reflect the remaster. But this one is special, for a few reasons (and if you’re not much into personalized mixing details, you may want to skip this liner note).

First (and most importantly)… I thought I’d lost the ability to edit the original tracks for this song. The last time I opened it up in Logic (updating it for the 2018 album remaster), the siren voices were all messed up (automation in Alchemy can have odd results sometimes). I just assumed the original native file was broken forever, because I no longer had access to that version of Logic. I had to do the album remaster from my only existing mix… and it was definitely lacking.

4 years later, I’m so glad I took a chance on reopening the native file when I concluded this ‘Siren’ trilogy. All the sounds/automations were exactly as I had left them. Prior to this attempt, I just assumed the worst, and never tried again. Thankfully, I was wrong. :D

Second… the remaster turned out much better than I hoped; and the differences were so satisfying, I thought it might be fun to have both versions up (for a side by side comparison, for any interested musicians out there. Here's the older version: https://soundcloud.com/grevusanjl/siren-rising).

So why does this one sound so much better than the original version? (And please take all of this with a grain of salt. I’m no pro. But I have discovered what works for me.)

Honestly, a tremendous amount of credit goes to having a much better understanding of Compression. For many folks, Compression is almost a dirty word. Just the title of the plug-in alone confused me at first. Why would I possibly want to compress my sounds, when I liked them as is? 

But it turns out (for me at least) that the different Compression options really shine when chosen specifically, and used minimally. As an example (and I’m not sure if your DAW offers similar options, but), Studio VCA works brilliantly with strings, female vocals and many of my favorite synths. But Studio FET works great on drums. Etc. And while some might cringe at the idea, I absolutely love what Soft Distortion does to most tracks as well. Used in mild amounts, Soft Distortion adds a phenomenal amount of spacial quality to the sound. I don’t use this one all of the time, but I bet I use it at least 75% of the time now (and Compression in general on about 95% of the tracks).  So there you go… I’m definitely a big fan of Compression… when used responsibly. :)

In addition, I’ve also learned a lot about EQing since I first did this song in 2017; so much so, that I was actually baffled by some of my earlier choices. So a large amount of the repair/update time for the 2022 remaster was spent on getting the EQing for each track set up more effectively.

And finally, I had the opportunity to give the full mix a healthy rebuild. After 5 years, you’re undoubtedly going to have a very fresh perspective on a piece. And I realized a lot of the sounds simply weren’t in their optimal positions in the stereo field. I also reconsidered where sounds faded in and out, and how intensely they did so… and I updated all of that as well. 

And there you have it, the story/history behind one of my all time personal favorites. I’m so glad I had an opportunity to revisit this one (while leaving all the original instruments true to form), and I hope you enjoy all the latest sound enhancements as well. I’m excited to hear what you think of my ’Siren Rising (2022 Remaster)’. :D
