Special Cecilia GOOD MORNING HEARTACHE Revisited + Extra - VOCALS for Collab

♥️ Thank You very much for over 1800 plays! ♥️

This track is a tribute to genre which flourish in 90's, a love letter to bands like US3, Jazzmatazz, Incognito, Brand New Heavies, Groove Collective and of course Miles Davies and his marvellous "Doo-Bop".

I started working on this piece around July 2022. I've stuck on my inability to do any advanced jazz solos/improvisation and embellishments so this track ended up in my "musical drawer".
Luckily, after finishing my previous piece "Vital Signs", where I used sax VST, I shyly approached Jörg aka @joerxworx with a request to evaluate my saxophone scribbles and a proposal to finish my unrealized piece.
Jörg turned out to be a nice, understanding guy who willingly joined this project. At this point, I would like to thank him very much for this wonderful contribution to this piece, a lot of advice he gave me and a lot of patience for my slow work.

If You like this piece You should definitely check Jörg's page, he created lot of amazing tracks!

@r-u-r-pl R.U.R.: Composition, Programming, Mix and Mastering, VST Sax, VST Muted Trumpet, VST Drums, VST Piano, VST Bass and VST Misty Sky Hit from Kontakt's Lo-Fi Glow Library.

Thanks for reading this, listening to our track, and I hope You will enjoy it as much as we enjoyed working on it!

The Two of Us

Thank You very much for 1300 plays! ❤️

This is little experiment for me - a revamp of an other persons track.
About 4 months ago I came across a song by Donak RV "Duo Melodica" https://soundcloud.com/donakrv/duo-melodica. I really liked it, and since I was working on the song "You Can Count on Us", I had a free nylon guitar from @heavyocitymedia Foundations on hand. I started improvising to it... and this remix/revamp was born ;) I sent Donak RV a sample and he agreed to let me perform this "devastation" of his track ;) This version is made on the basis of an MP3 file downloaded from the author's profile. A stem version is still in development.

I hope You'll like it at least a bit :)

Duo Melodica (R.U.R.'s Nylon Guitar MP3 Revamp)

Donak RV - Duo Melodica (R.U.R.'s Nylon Guitar MP3 Revamp)

Sticky sweet with just a hint of a bite. This deceptively poppy track is wrapped in liquid guitars, a bouncy bass line, and a sugar-rush chorus that hits just right. While the guitar and bass engage in a little playful call and response, the lyrics unravel the feeling of being stuck in a world that’s all gloss, and no substance. Delicious but suffocating. Shiny, sweet, and warped—like candy melting in the sun.

❤️❤️❤️ Thank You all so much for over 2000 plays of this collab track! ❤️❤️❤️

On may 2024 (so it's passed 6 months...) @belial-pelegrim presented to the world Taffeta 189 which can be found here >> https://soundcloud.com/belial-pelegrim/taffeta-189. A masterfully crafted piece from his unfinished story-driven musical series.
From the very beginning, this track fascinated me to such an extent that a melody immediately appeared in my head. In a burst of self-confidence, I asked the Master for the file of this song so that I could put my melodic ideas into it, just like I did with Donak RV's song https://soundcloud.com/r-u-r-pl/duo-melodica-rur-nylon-guitar-remix. And the strangest thing is, he willingly agreed to my idea!
So I tried it and here we are. It's been a while since then, but I think I've finally finished it. I sincerely hope that you will like the effect of this cooperation.

If you are intrigued by this song and you haven't heard the music of @belial-pelegrim yet, and you would like to listen to more (I assure you, it's really worth it!), please visit his profile for more!

Free Spitfire LABS - Electric Piano - Chorus

The powerful chose to stay silent. 
The powerful chose money. 
The powerful chose destruction. 

We chose to stay silent.

In the end, make sure you are one of the ones who can say 'at least I tried'.

LYRICS:

Motionless 
Empty plains
Freak winds
Breathless shells       

We lost our way
Or so the stories say
Gambled away
The days
Where hope still remained

You tried your best my love
You tried it all
But the best is only the best my love
If you have actual control

And keep trying to dismiss
While
We stare into the abyss

You tried your best my love
You tried it all
But the best is only the best my love
If you have actual control

It will be me and you      
It will be me and you    
In the end it's me and you

Whatever... you do... to me
Whatever... you'll say to me
I still love you
I'm dreaming of finding... that man I once knew
And to relive those moments of pure joy
Whatever... it takes...to get you back in my arms
Wherever you need to go... I'll follow you
Reveilles toi chéri 
S'il te plait
Combien de fois 
Je t'appel
Tu as la colére mais
Je n'ai rien fait
Tu souffres
Je sais, c'est pas, c'est pas de ma faute
Je t'aime
Tu es le seule homme de ma vie
Tu ne me crois rien
Je veux revenir
Mais chaque fois je reviens
Tu n'as rien de gentil à me dire
Que des critiques
Mon amour pour toi 
C'est fou
Whatever... I try to do
To make you happy
It's never... enough
Whatever... I tell you
You never believe me
So why do I stay true blue
To you
---I still love you---
Why does it have to hurt this much
---I'll always love you---

Whatever

Here is another nice uplifting and melodic track that I hope you will enjoy listening.
All voices are chord Logic Pro Loops.

'Edifions des temples absurdes' morceau extrait du 3ème album de M'Z intitulé 'La civilisation de la graine ?' sorti en 2022

Ici joué en live au cinéma de Mirepoix (09) lors du ciné concert des groupes du collectif la Barraque, organisé par le collectif La Barraque et l'association Dirt and CPU le 5 décembre 2024 :
https://youtu.be/2P7n5PQgVjI

"La Civilisation de la Graine" le troisième album du projet, est une réflexion musicale sur l'essence de nos organisations patriarcales et notre tendance à nous organiser en civilisations, certes élégantes mais indéniablement injustes, éphémères, violentes et bancales. 8 morceaux pour tenter d'analyser ces phénomènes.

Edifions des temples absurdes :
Le second morceau de cet album est un amusement sur le temps, l'intelligence, le savoir-faire, la science, le génie et l'énergie dépensée à construire des édifices à la gloire de dieux de plus en plus uniques et de plus en plus masculins, concentrant de plus en plus de pouvoir en une seule et unique entité.

Lyrics

Like every morning,
I turn on the radio,
like every morning,
Bad news makes the show,
depressing grayness,
absent brightness,

war wins everywhere,
the climate change,
floods everywhere,
drought even stranger,

Before it's too late,
let's sing of love,
before it's too late,
let's pray to the lord god,
let's forget this nightmare,
let's stop all these wars,

Alone glimmer of hope the Music

Once again @enigmacurry turns around something amazing based on a short little beat I sent his way. Initially he made a 7.5 minute version that sounded completely different (which I'll post at another point), then he requested the stems, went back to the drawing board and produced this epic 9.5-minute beast of a remix. It really sparked my imagination - hope it works for you too!

TOUR DE LA TERRE (around the earth) by ZITOU ITOU & CECILIA SPECIAL

Lyrics:-
There's a gentle breeze
Blowing around me
I can feel it in
The things that people say today

Increasing every week
In the things I see
In the folks who start
Questioning reality

We are in
The calm before the storm
Here come the winds of change
To Take over everything

The Calm Before The Storm

Youtube.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAxwHl9lvQ0

Neige
[Verse]
Neige de retour sur les toits des maisons
Couvre la nature d'un blanc coton
Les enfants rient jouent font des constructions
Des bonhommes de neige comme compagnons

[Verse 2]
Glissades rapides sur les pentes glacées
Des luges et des skis bien chaussés
Les rires éclatent dans l’air givré
Un monde magique aux pieds glacés

[Chorus]
Neige qui tombe en continue sans fin
Des flocons dansent et tourbillonnent en chemin
Blanc manteau recouvrant l’horizon lointain
Féerique merveille oeuvre du divin

[Verse 3]
Traces des animaux sur la neige fraîche
Témoins silencieux de leur marche légère
Sous les branches un refuge d’escargot 
La forêt cache des secrets éphémères

[Bridge]
Souvenirs d’hiver gravés dans nos cœurs
Moments de joie réchauffés par nos rires
Les joues rosies par le froid rageur
Sous la neige nos âmes s’étirent

[Chorus]
Neige qui tombe en continue sans fin
Des flocons dansent et tourbillonnent en chemin
Blanc manteau recouvrant l’horizon lointain
Féerique merveille oeuvre du divin

Snow 
[Verse]
Snow back on the roofs of houses
Covers nature with cotton white
Children laugh, play, build
Snowmen as companions

[Verse 2]
Fast slides on icy slopes
Well-shod sleds and skis
Laughter breaks out in the frosty air
A magical world with icy feet

[Chorus]
Snow falling continuously without end
Snowflakes dance and swirl along the way
White mantle covering the distant horizon
Fairy wonder work of the divine

[Verse 3]
Animal tracks on fresh snow
Silent witnesses of their light walk
Under the branches a snail refuge 
The forest hides ephemeral secrets

[Bridge]
Winter memories engraved in our hearts
Moments of joy warmed by our laughter
Cheeks pink from the bitter cold
Under the snow our souls stretch

[Chorus]
Snow falling continuously without end
Snowflakes dance and swirl along the way
White mantle covering the distant horizon
Fairy wonder work of the divine

Texte Français et Google traduction

DANS UN AUTRE MONDE

Oui, je suis amoureux
Et j’en ai bien conscience
C’est un plaisir pour deux
Jamais gagné d’avance
Au hasard de rencontres
C’est un bien que l’on prend
Alors quand on le montre
C’est que l’on aime vraiment

Oui, je suis amoureux
Je ne voulais y croire
En pensant que pour eux
C’était une belle histoire
Je voyais pour les autres
Sans même me regarder
Et puis un jour la notre
Est venue me chercher

Je me retrouve dans un autre monde
Heureux comme tout
Et mon bonheur abonde
Dans le cœur de partout.

Oui, je suis amoureux
Que puis-je de plus vous dire
Je suis un homme heureux
Retrouvant un sourire
L’amour çà nous repose
C’est un autre pays
La vie, c’est peu de chose
Donner c’est prendre aussi

Je me retrouve dans un autre monde
Heureux comme tout
Et mon bonheur abonde
Dans le cœur de partout.

Oui, je suis amoureux
Un beau bonheur de l’être
Car à ce grand jeu
C’est tous les jours une fête
Il y a des gagnants
A la lot’rie du cœur
J’y croyais plus avant
C’était une grosse erreur

Je me retrouve dans un autre monde
Heureux comme tout
Et mon bonheur abonde
Dans le cœur de partout.

IN ANOTHER WORLD

Yes, I'm in love
And I am well aware of it
It's a pleasure for two
Never won in advance
By chance encounters
It is a good that we take
So when we show it
It’s what we really love

Yes, I'm in love
I didn't want to believe it
Thinking that for them
It was a beautiful story
I saw for others
Without even looking at me
And then one day ours
Came to pick me up

I find myself in another world
Happy like everything
And my happiness abounds
In the hearts of everywhere.

Yes, I'm in love
What more can I tell you
I am a happy man
Finding a smile again
Love rests us
It's another country
Life is little
Giving is also taking

I find myself in another world
Happy like everything
And my happiness abounds
In the hearts of everywhere.

Yes, I'm in love
A beautiful joy of being
Because in this great game
Every day is a party
There are winners
To the lottery of the heart
I believed in it more before
It was a big mistake

I find myself in another world
Happy like everything
And my happiness abounds
In the hearts of everywhere.

i forgot to not think about anything at all
i really dropped the ball
never gonna make it to the hall a fame
that's a shame-
everybody ought to have a shot to show the people what you got

it doesnt matter now cause i'm old
or so i'm told
but what the hell does anybody know anyway
this is only one of infinite scenarios
everybody ought to turn the volume up on their Stereos everybody ought to turn the volume up on their Stereos

I hope you enjoy this feel- good old school rap/disco/EDM/ space funk  song.
From the album : "Curiosities Of Outsider Art" (2025)

Lyrics:
The ghosts that live in the sidewalk cracks
We're here because of their fight
Why does the magic disappear
At a higher  Fahrenheit?
If u want a revolution
You're gonna have to work at night
I talked to our basement saytr's
They say they won't bite

Learn to dance
Do the dance
Forget the dance
Do it all over again

Whatever sets your spirits free!

Walking down the street 
Looking like discount store dynamite
A roller coaster love affair
But I was too short to ride
Temporary ecstasy
Doesn't mean the world's alright
Mad, it's the end of the party?
Take it up with the light
Yogi dispensing miracles
Blind in his 3rd eye sight
I went to New York City
She was a Brooklynite
I'm a poet with a million rhymes
I never have time to write
Watch these inner galactic moves
With my space age satellite

Take your power
Use your power
Focus your power
(Take your power, focus your power and use your power!)

Looking back
To the chicken shack
Eating greasy food
You're going to have a heart attack
Avoid the trap
You maniac
I don't buy my soul
Off the rack

Whatever sets your spirits free!

All the nasty things I said
Because I thought It was right
If you want to feel your humanity
Then help with another's plight
All the haters that destroy your joy
Tell them their full of shite
I'm the Minister of Propaganda
I keep that groove locked down tight
(locked down tight)

I'm a drunk bear
And I'm tearing up the picinic site
The history of the world's knowledge
On 1 million terrabyte
I'm the friend in the burning building saying
"It's gonna be alright,"
This is the reason I can carry on
And I never lose my appetite

Whatever sets your spirits free!

Whatever Sets Your Spirits Free

❤️❤️ Thank You so much for over 2000 plays! ❤️❤️

Little improvisation made after watching Fracture Sounds "Hemisphere" trailer and turned into track. The ad set the emotional state and choice of instruments. NO A.I. INVOLVED!

What I played sounded so melancholic that it reminded me of the thoughts I had while walking with my wife. Every playground we passed was empty. It contrasted with times when our son was little - finding a free swing for a toddler bordered on a miracle. Now it's a miracle to see children swinging on them. Could the "Universe 25" experiment have predicted everything that is happening now?

I played it in one take, then did some editing and added cello, harmonics, bass and ambient sounds. I used only three instruments: two from free Spitfire LABS libraries: Ambient Guitars and Cello Moods. Bass is sub patch from Native Instruments Massive.
I used one sample from the BBC Sound Effects library: Children: Playing - Fushun: Children playing in snow.

The genotype of this song definitely includes two of my favorite This Mortal Coil songs, "The Jeweller" and "Tarantula".

I secretly hope that You may like it. Let me know in the comments what You think about the music and what lies in its heart.

Thanks go to my testdriver kavvka ••ꝁ𐌰v̷̷v̷̷ꝁ𐌰•• @grzegorzkawka who always gives me courage and accurately points out the elements that need improvement.

Wildsilences - Island (RiZLiX Remix)

Close Circle—I’m Keeping Score----Lyrics

(Verse1)
Altered time cycles,—
Will we ever be whole again 
why so many different Bibles? 
It’s a battle for the soul, till the end 
one unit, sect, —-culture, tribe 
so many distractions,—- let’s pretend
that time was on our side 
same message, same word, being resend 
Over and over again

stay truth to who you are,———                      
It’s gotten you this far

(Chorus1)
To the very end,—-to the very end
We learn and educate,—-from what’s been done before 
let’s empty the cup,—-before trying to fill it with more 
there’s no way to stop,—-who is the source that pours 
where does it come from? Who’s keeping score?
Maybe we won one, 
who kept the faith, is it love or hate? 
No wait, don’t answer —the mystery can wait
drink up, another knowledge, cup, 
keep up,—-if you believe, 
learn, retain, retrieve 
always the same message 
you’ve learned everything they wanted you to know 
why is the cup so empty?——why is the cup so empty?

(Verse2)
Search for more knowledge—- tempt me, ——but I need what I want. 
Where can the answers to the questions be?
The right question to prompt
cups fill, or empty ——another sip, lesson learned 
mind occupied——- close circle 
we learn what you taught us
But I have to know more, the desire, burns, 
don’t know what’s needed but I certainly want more
Give me a different drink please, because I’m keeping score
——I’m keeping score —————
——I’m keeping score ——I’m keeping score

(Chorus)
To the very end, 
We learn and educate, from what’s been done before 
let’s empty the cup, before trying to fill it with more 
there’s no way to stop who is the source that pours 
where does it come from?——Who’s keeping score?
Maybe we won one, 
who kept the faith, is it love or hate? 
No wait, we done won —the mystery can wait 
drink up, another knowledge, cup, 
keep up if you believe, learn, retain retrieve 
always the same message 
you’ve learned everything they wanted you to know 
why is the cup so empty?—-why is the cup so empty?
why is the cup so empty?—-why is the cup so empty?

——I’m keeping score ——I’m keeping score —I’m keeping score
——I’m keeping score ——I’m keeping score —I’m keeping score

stay truth to who you are,———                      
It’s gotten you this far

(Chorus1)
We learn and educate…
Extra: why is the cup so empty?

(Verse2)

Lyrics
Decisions we never made 
will make us in the end
plans built on empty grounds 
an alibi sworn to pretend
just to get to something real 
we make same different mistakes
thinking you’ve life to waste
can’t escape a mirror 2-faced

Broken bridges
A lost moment found in time
Broken bridges
Dig away your hollow smile
Broken bridges
Sticks to it’s bitter end
Broken bridges
Never there just to mend

Build all our foundations 
two arguments at a time
burnt down broken promises
to feed a wipe clean mind
misunderstood ourself for treason
but never defined a crime
if I could I’d have a reason
not a lesson learnt up a line
but life’s lessons never taught on time

Broken bridges
A lost moment found in time
Broken bridges
Dig away your hollow smile
Broken bridges
Sticks to it’s bitter end
Broken bridges
Never there just to mend
Broken bridges

Just cos there’s no answer
don’t mean there’s no wrong
we gotta believe in something
and keep trying to belong
but are we singing the same old song

Broken bridges
A lost moment found in time
Broken bridges
Dig away your hollow smile
Broken bridges
Sticks to it’s bitter end
Broken bridges
Never there just to mend
We’ve broken bridges
We’re broken bridges
All broken bridges
We’ve all broken bridges
We’re all broken bridges
Just broken bridges
Forever there to amend 
Forever there to pretend


Broken Bridges

Zero Gravity

Lyrics and Vocals by me
Music made in Garageband
(I added some echo on my main voice for more effect)
A simple and a little weird song about self doubt, and finding the power :)

Lyrics:

Please, don't say I'm weak
That I am small
That I will never be able to climb up
and reach the top
That I will always be the one
Lying on the ground, looking up....

Chorus
I'm gonna find my power
I will climb,I will fight
I'm gonna reach the top
I will climb ,I will fight
I'm gonna use my power
I will climb, I will fight
I'm gonna reach the top
I will climb, I will fight

Please, don't say I'm grey
That I'm invisible
and never will be able to be mixed
Or to be fixed
That I will always be the one
Left colorless, lying on the ground..

Chorus...

Chorus....

After the rain  (feat JC Bordetti on drums)

Cast of characters:

Saskiagoethals-- @saskiagoethals --Saskia — vocals, lyrics, and production
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – guitar, bass, VST melodica, beats, mix, production, and composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –- piano, organ, and composition

This song started with Tez coming up with a heavy riddim and monster bass to go with it, over which he laid his clockwork rhythm guitar. He shared it with Josh, who came up with the piano and organ parts. It was pretty much done, but we wated vocals on it, so it languished on the digital shelf for almost half a year. 
  That is until Saskia heard and worked with Tez on a different open collab on his page. He then offered her this one. She downloaded it, added her superb vocals, and sent it back to the other two to review. They were blown away by her creativity and skill as a singer, and are very grateful to her for reviving the project. 
  When it was all laid down, Tez mixed it expertly, as always. Saskia took his mix, sped it up and adjusted her vocals, too. She is a very competent producer, as well.
  Tez and Josh are big dub fans from way back, and this is the latest in a couple year running series of collabs in the genre from the two of them. They are very grateful to Saskia for doing such a wonderful job of completing the song. Look for her in future collabs, both with Tez and Josh, as well as with their band, The Eclectic Collective. We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. 

Original lyrics by Saskiagoethals: 

I went to the love doctor
to shine his light on my loneliness
he promissed to fill the emptiness
corse
my love is gonne and since then i stayed alone
my bed is empty my feet are cold
and i don’t wanne feel already old
The love doctor said come with me
the night is young and so are we
So he kept his promise
And he warmed me with his kiss
inject me with your love
i don’ want my love back
i don’t want a quick fix i want my love doctor

Love Doctor (with Llanpsych and Saskigoethals)

Haunting One Seven

A Deity Looks After Me

Brand NEW track "Thought I Was Dreaming", taken from the "Ultraviolet Cosmos" upcoming full length STA album (2025). Enjoy y'all #share, #like, #follow and comment of course. :D

Youtube: https://youtu.be/5TOaRZxQbGs?si=tAH31Rz_1uPP6dEn

lyrics:
I've been dreaming for so long
and never woke up back to reality
i never thought it could take so long
to learn such a solid morality

Thought i was screaming, nightmares dreaming
and it's time not to hide away
It's time for breathing, 
forget about those golden years so fly away

And then i opened my eyes and realize
that neon lights blinded my side
and it's time to get up my feet again
and regain what's mine and never let it again.

(p) & (c) STA, 2025.

Thought I Was Dreaming

NO A.I. INVOLVED
It all started in late 2022 while driving. I heard a song on the radio that inspired me to create this piece. I only heard it once, I don't know the author(s) or the title of this song.

After creating the core/mockup of the song, I presented it to Brian Butts (@brian-butts-565934842), which is amazing multi instrumentalist, and asked if he would record a guitar solo similar in idea to the solo from "The Break in Tranquility" https://soundcloud.com/r-u-r-pl/the-break-in-tranquility, which I had previously asked him to review. He agreed to this willingly and that's how my first ever collab was created.

I actually regret a little that this song is a bit too slow, but trying to speed it up caused Brian's solo to fall apart, and my skills don't yet allow me to properly edit it.

This song was lying in my "drawer" for over 2 years. I wasn't fully satisfied with what I did and its sound. I wasn't able to come up with a good Bridge and make it a full-fledged song. In the end I decided to release it as is. I only modified some parts to maintain the feeling of the progression of the arrangement.

Sorry Brian, my friend, that it took so long, but my perfectionism https://w.wiki/9XhH makes me constantly dissatisfied with what I do and often prevents me from finishing the songs.

Thanks to my friend ••kavvka •• (@grzegorzkawka), for his constant support, patiently listening to subsequent versions and lots of good advice.

To craft this piece I used
Ableton Live Standard
Ableton Live's Simpler
NI Massive
Spitfire Originals Epic Strings
Spitfire Originals Epic Brass & Woodwinds
iZotope Ozone 9 Elements
Impact Soundworks Shreddage 3 Stratus Free (only when the guitar enters)
Arturia Filter MS-20
Valhalla Supermassive (Free)
iZotope Ozone Imager (Free)

I also used 3 MIDI drum loops from free libraries in Ableton LIVE.

Thanks for listening. I hope You'll enjoy.

...And Justice for D-Punks

I'll finish E-Ruizzo project with a conceptual LP album: 4 songs about 'Arctica Point'. I imagined it amid rotation axis, geographic north and magnetic pole, and I located it on dry land !! Then I draw the cover art.

This opening track tells the decision of leaving this annoying present by travelling to that magical place. The following ones tell the trip and life there.

Translated lyrics will explain it with more detail:

EXPEDICIÓN (EL MUNDO SE HACE PEQUEÑO)  /  EXPEDITION (THE WORLD GETS SMALL)

Cansado de vivir en un mundo que se hace pequeño,  /  Tired of living in a world which gets small,
como ratas nos movemos en nuestro agujero.  /  like rats we move in our hole.

Cierro los párpados para no verlo,  /  I close my eyelids so as not to see it,
pero hay demasiadas cosas feas detrás de ellos.  /  but there are too many ugly things behind them.

Con los ojos cerrados veo mis recuerdos,  /  With my eyes closed I see my memories,
veo el presente que vivo y no quiero verlo.  /  I see the present I live in and I don’t want to see it.

Con los ojos cerrados no dejo de pensarlo,  /  With my eyes closed I can’t stop thinking about it,
tengo que ir a algún sitio donde olvidarlo.  /  I must go somewhere to forget it.

Partiremos hacia donde los recuerdos se olvidan,  /  We will leave for where memories are forgotten,
donde el frío congela el dolor de la vida,  /  where cold freezes the pain of life,
donde el hielo y la nieve nos protege del hombre,  /  where ice and snow protect us from mankind,
donde el cuerpo y el alma se purifican.  /  where body and soul are purified.

Tenlo todo preparado para nuestra expedición.  /  Get everything ready for our expedition.
Formemos una expedición ártica,  /  Let’s form an Arctic expedition,
Tenlo todo preparado para nuestra expedición.  /  Get everything ready for our expedition.
Formemos una expedición ártica,   /  Let’s form an Arctic expedition,
formemos una expedición ártica  /  let’s form an Arctic expedition

Ártica…  /  Arctica…
entre el polo magnético y el norte geométrico  /  between the magnetic pole and the geometric north
se encuentra el Punto Ártica.  /  is located the Arctica Point.

Partiremos hacia donde el reloj no gira.  /  We’ll leave for where the clock doesn’t go round.
Partiremos hacia donde el tiempo no pasa,  /  We’ll leave for where time doesn’t go by,
al lugar donde seis meses sólo duran un día.  /  for the place where six months only last one day.

Viviendo en un mundo que se hace pequeño,  /  Living in a world which gets small,
como ratas nos movemos en nuestro agujero.  /  like rats we move in our hole.
Con los ojos cerrados no dejo de pensarlo,  /  With my eyes closed I can’t stop thinking about it,
tengo que ir a algún sitio donde olvidarlo.  /  I must go somewhere to forget it.

Ártica…  /  Arctica…
entre el polo magnético y el norte geométrico  /  between the magnetic pole and the geometric north
se encuentra el Punto Ártica.  /  is located the Arctica Point.
entre el polo magnético y el norte geométrico  /  between the magnetic pole and the geometric north
se encuentra el Punto Ártica.  /  is located the Arctica Point.

Esperar no es lo único que haremos allí.  /  To wait is not the only thing we’ll do there.
Sabes que no es fácil sobrevivir,  /  You know it’s not easy to survive,
cuando no hay nada que te empuje a seguir.  /  when there’s nothing pushing you on.

If you use AI in any form to create "your music", don't bother with my profile, you are not welcome here.
AI music generation detector: https://www.submithub.com/ai-song-checker
I do not support the use of generative AI in music creation. I will not support people who use such technologies nor will I use them. The two songs I posted only serve to raise awareness of the existence of such technologies and as a warning.

At the beginning I would like to sincerely apologize that I am responding to comments late and I am sometimes unable to keep up with listening to your work, but I still work full-time in a profession that has absolutely nothing to do with music and I have my duties towards family and home.

To everyone who flew into my corner on SoundCloud: I am grateful for your support with likes, shares and thank you for the great comments. Please don't hesitate to suggest changes to my music in them. Thanks to this, the next songs will be better and better.

All my music is MIDI (except some drum loops), played/created by me and edited in Ableton Live.
