Beautiful Girl

I live in a country where, for example:

•	A new “animal welfare” bill will ensure that around 100 million sentient animals each year will suffer extreme, prolonged trauma and pain as they are slaughtered without having first been stunned.  This is in order to respect minority religious beliefs.
•	Male convicted child abusers and rapists who decide to “identify as a woman” have the right to serve their sentences in women-only prisons so that their rights are not compromised.
•	The desperate, hysterical craving for universal “equality” manifests itself in obscene levels of positive discrimination to deliver race / gender etc "quotas".
•	Ransoms of hundreds of millions of pounds are paid to crass despotic theocracies to release hostages – money that will fund the development of nuclear programmes that those state-agents of god intend to deploy for the obliteration of neighbouring countries and their cultures.
•	A high ranking female politician declines the invitation to define what a woman is, for fear of “being dragged down a rabbit hole”.
•	Police and local government services turn a blind eye to industrial scale sexual abuse of vulnerable young girls to avoid stirring racial tensions.
•	It is decreed that if we can’t buy our oil from a thief we may as well buy it from a murderer as pumping our own plentiful supplies locally may offend environmentalists.
•	Ad infinitum.

The country I live in used to be called England.

Last night I read her the last rights, sang her this little poem I made up for her and cradled her as she slipped fitfully away.

I didn’t bother to mark the grave.

The Cold Blooded Murder Of Albion

Whisper, sweet love,
Did you feel any hurt,
As they hacked at your heart
With their blunt knives of dirt?
Love of my life!
Did you feel any pain?
As they raised up their rocks
To stone your brain.

The true paragon of fair
Balanced and just.
Slain by dogmas of air
Lunatic liberal lust.
I’ll lullaby your dead heart
That pulmonary shocks can’t restart
We’re history consigned,
To bedlam resigned.
But I’d rather rot dead
Than wake in a contemporary bed
Of moral principle smoothies
In a world that eschews me.
Hush, don’t make a fuss, there’s no need to discuss
Spinning whirlpools of statuesque dust
All relics of pride, I’ve laid delicately aside
In simple disgust.

The Cold Blooded Murder Of Albion

Fly away like a butterfly, try to let it go, and see the light. Fly away like a butterfly, got it let it go, and say goodbye.

Falling Into Life third release on our label, including a remix by label owner Nykkyo Energy DJ. These songs have been part of Falling Into Life and Nykkyo for about 1,5 years. A huge process of personal and professional growth with deep realizations and grateful letting go. This is a journey, a journey of letting go of what does not fit anymore. May it be unfulfilled desires, fears, struggles with yourself or others, it is time to embrace the past and fly into a new being and future, where you can be as you are. 

The original track is an acoustic journey finding freedom, long guitar solos with twinkling soundscapes, gentle beats and vocal song by Falling Into Life himself. The remix is an uptempo progressive house track yet still catching the main elements of the original while on a dance journey with a total different energy and atmosphere. 

The music is encoded with Divine Tools Technology with 100’s of codes, energies and quantum signatures. More info www.divine.tools   The energies and codes included are so many that listing them would take two pages. What it can bring you is not just during listening but what it brings you afterward, days, weeks, months and even years ahead. There is a unique scalar language encoded within that, together with your intent, will clear, change, bring that part of what should be part of your journey inline with your own Higher Self and in the best possible way for you and for the highest good of all involved. Changing the frequency within you so you experience new people, places, things and events in your life. These energies are alive and will only work if you give your permission according to the law of one and what this law stands for — love. 

Here we share our personal story with you so that it might inspire you to let go as well what does not suit you anymore in your journey of life. 

Falling Into Life his story “I learned so many things about life and about myself. Can I really love myself without the reflection and mirror from the other? Can I really feel love? Apparently I was so freaking co-dependent. That I needed validation from somebody else. Can I really let go? The lyrics in the song are still a mantra today. It showed me that I tend to connect with pain not with love. If someone is in pain, I can take care of them. So they see me and give me a reason to exist. Why do I give all this energy away to someone else? Why am I not able to give all this love and energy to myself? And now I see, and sometimes still feel, that the universe gave me a lesson in focus. A lesson where I am not free. After the break-up, my focus came back to me. And I used the situation as a catalyst. I pulled myself away from the world and stepped inside my own universe again. Music started flowing like never before. As the creator that I am, I sat with my guitar fiddling around and gave expression to the loss I felt. At that time, I sent a lot of my musical ideas to some Ecstatic Dance DJ’s because I had a dream: One day I will bring my music to the Ecstatic Dance floor, and so I met Nykkyo, and we started giving live performances together. At that time, he was in a situation where he also had to let go of some stuff. I can’t really remember, but he told me that I almost wanted to delete the song. Finish it, he said," and I will make a remix. For me, Butterfly also stands for growth and transformation. For letting go. Being free. Grateful on my way…”

Falling Into Life and Nykkyo Energy DJ are performing live together at Ecstatic Dances, performing a live hybrid set with original productions accompanied by live instruments and are available for bookings. 

It is time to fly away like a Butterfly

Western Noir — Mercy’s View, 1899

In the fading year of 1899, a Scotsman arrives in the frontier town of Mercy’s View searching for his missing brother. What he finds is silence, and what the town hides is a mine that needs bodies more than workers.

Leland Washburn — a private investigator known for spotless boots and spotless instincts — follows the trail into the earth, and into himself. Beneath the dust and manners, beneath the hymns and bookkeeping, he discovers a machine built on vanishing lives.

Washburn is a Western Noir instrumental score — part blues lament, part psychological descent, part forensic hymn. Muted trumpet replaces harmonica, tremolo guitar replaces saloon swing, and the frontier becomes a crime scene.

Composed and performed by Avaline Ingels, the music moves with the patience of a man cleaning a gun he hopes not to use. Every track is a step deeper into the mine—the case, the conscience, the miry mind.

No one leaves Mercy’s View clean.
Washburn least of all.

Soap & Gunpowder

A rambling guitar fest,an overindulgent lyrical example of cereal box religion and home grown philosophy. Still,it's pretty short!

We've been here a million times
The wheel will turn again

Don't think of life in absolutes
To succeed or fail
We are merely players
In a futile tale

I have no pretence of honour
I won't be falling on my sword
Principles are fine you see
If it's what you can afford

I'll tell you my stories
Solemn tales and grave
It took me years to teach
My mind to misbehave

No Principles-The Storyteller

On empty streets
The movement is gone
Oil stained remnants from when we were alive
Back to the silence
The only constant
They won't miss us
Love won't kiss us

Back to the silence
Born from nothing
We're all lost but we keep on rolling

Gotta get away
The infection of these times
Caught out in the open together under sun
Back to the simple
The only constant
They won't miss us
Love won't kiss us

We sat and watched them cry
We sat and watched them cry
Back to the silence
Born from nothing
We're all lost but we keep on rolling

Some live looping acoustic music for a lovely day! 🙂 I wrote this song after I was stuck for many hours in a heavy rain in South Europe while hitchhiking to Morocco and West Sahara. Song is in my mother tongue - Latvian. This isn't my most latest song but this is brand new arrangement. Hope you will enjoy!

Let it Happen / Lai Notiek (Live Looping Version)

Refracted Memories is a collaboration between Welsh producer Michael Wadlow,American Guitarist Jack Morefield 
And American Singer/songwriter/guitarist Jay Arana
