Rise And Fall

A blues, hardly nothing, 
(-(-_(-_-)_-)-)

Goodbye Blues

Goodbye, goodbye, I'll see you next time
Goodbyes don't work, but here you have mine
Convinced we shouldn't keep on going
We cannot stop the void from growing
Despite the pains and cruel actions
It gave some kind of satisfactions

The more we talked, the more estranging
Our moods were vague and everchanging
Not capable to be together
Or yes, we could, but somewhere nether
So curious, but bracing ourselves
Cause causing pain, we both were topshelf

Pada dada dadadatada

This is a little piece I put together when was on a mini vacation in Santa Barbara, Ca at the end of June. Fueled by a couple of Anderson Valley Summer Solstice  Ales and grinning with headphones on, it conveys the chill vibes of relaxing and recharging in the summer. I actually forgot it was in my files , so now it’s up to share.
Hope you enjoy

In The Pines (Where Did You Sleep Last Night)

The year is 2038...
Humanity has now found itself immersed in a reality that blurs the lines between appearance and identity. The advent of "ChromaSkins" has transformed society, granting people the power to shed their natural forms and don the guise of any holographically projected skin they desire. These skins are so exquisitely crafted that they are indistinguishable from reality to the human eye, seamlessly blending in with the world around them.

In this world, the pursuit of individuality and anonymity intertwine in a disconcerting dance. The once-familiar faces become enigmatic canvases, each person a shifting mosaic of personas. The boundaries of trust and authenticity crumble, as ChromaSkin wearers can masquerade as loved ones, friends, or even unsuspecting strangers. Society grapples with the unsettling ambiguity of identity as the line between self and illusion blurs.

Imaginary Skin

The tragic tale of a foreign girl forced into prostitution in England during the First World War, and the terrible fate that awaited so many of the soldiers. Many, many thanks to Ale Destiny for her poignant and plaintive vocal. You can hear her latest song "Vincent", also produced by my producer Sergio Aguilar,  here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfa7jjZoK0U&list=OLAK5uy_kwTdpzKWQbJ5Xm05Ok3ulGPmfAm_xv7s8

“Many home-front brothels served an increased number of clients following the war’s outset owing to the influx of men in arms preparing to go into the field.”
- Journey Steward (International Encyclopedia of the First World War)

Slang used in the song:
Dose: (in this case) a venereal infection
Dough: money
Slut: term for a person, usually a woman or girl, who is sexually promiscuous or considered to have loose sexual morals. It dates from the late 14th century in Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, although ironically he was describing a man!
Squaddies: soldiers
The clap: gonorrhea (The narrator in this song gets gonorrhea, or the clap, which was rampant at the time because so many soldiers were catching it from the prostitutes operating near the front. Many of those soldiers, believe it or not, were still virgins and didn't want to die without experiencing sex)
Whore: prostitute

Lyrics
There’s many a squaddie comes visiting
From the barracks up the road
And they all, if they pay, get a welcome
And a rest from a soldier’s load
They’ll be fighting for King and country
And be paid with a grisly end
So, the least we can do is to hold them
To be, for a while, their friend
To be, for a while, to be, for a while
To be, for a while, their friend

Ah me, I was born in a Catholic land
I’ve no love for you Protestant lads!
But I got put in the family way
And reviled as sinful and bad
I’m in England now, a whore for sure
But I dance and I sing and I play
And the squaddies laugh so innocently
As night gives way to the day
As night gives way to
as night gives way to
As night gives way to the day

I fell in love with an Irish boy
No more tender a lad you could meet
He was set to ask me to marry
But was lost in some bloody retreat
I’m carrying his child in my belly
But it’s whoring that brings in the dough
I’m to visit some witch in an alley
To make sure that there’s nothing to show
Make sure that there’s nothing,
Make sure that there’s nothing
Make sure that there’s nothing to show

The doctor says that I got the clap
A soldier, I’ll bet, from the front
The sluts down there do a roaring trade
Death so close, that they bear the brunt
Of virgins wanting a taste of the flesh
‘fore their bodies are ripped to shreds
And if they survive, return with their dose
To pass on in the heat of our beds
Pass on in the heat, pass on in the heat
To pass on in the heat of our beds

Yes, many a squaddie comes visiting
And will do for some time to come
But will there be any lads left alive
To march to the military drum
Yes, soldiers are welcome, one and all
And will be for some time to come
But where are all of the marrying types
To save us from our whoredom
To save us from our, to save us from our …
To save us from our whoredom

Everything Will Be Revealed

We find ourselves washed up and bleeding
Upon the shore

In the chase for nothing much,
We’ve lost our way back home

While pursuing eternity
We’ve carved our names in stone

For illusions of security
We’ve worked ourselves to the bone

Everything will be revealed
when the waters become still

What was hidden beneath is seen
When all is settled and all is clean

Wings made of mind can’t fly
Try and you will fall

All that we think we know
Isn’t worth much at all

Dreams form in mind’s eye
What is shown could be a lie

Ascending one rung at a time
Don’t split your head up on the sky

I’ve tried so hard to find
a reason why we’re so blind

Hypnotized by the feed
In the mirror they deceive

Not sure what to believe,
With your face cracked in duper’s glee

Doomsday clock is ticking down,
No one hears the warning sound

Didn’t hear the sirens wail,
Playing games as we tip the scale

How have we come to this,
A slippery slope down a bottomless pit

Everything will be revealed
when the waters become still

What was hidden beneath is seen
When all is settled and all is clean,
all is settled and all is clean…
