■概要(Overview)
あなたはまた行ってしまうのね・・。
だからタイムマシーンを作ったの。
さぁ、あの頃に戻りましょう・・そんな曲です。

ボーカロイドを使いました(フリーソフトの「UTAU」を使用)。
全体的に、今回も混沌とした感じになりました・・ね(^^;)

You will go again ...
That's why I made a time machine.
Well, let's go back to that time ... That's the song.

I used Vocaloid (using the free software "UTAU").
Overall, it felt chaotic this time too ... (^^;)

■歌詞
「Enihcam Emit」
うつろいやすい　人なのね　あなた
あまりにも　冷たい仕打ちね

ずっと　ここに　残る　傷跡

出会った頃の二人に戻って　みたい

完成したわタイムマシン
あなた可愛い寝顔ね
うふふふ

目覚めた時には元通り
あなた私に夢中よ
うふふふ


ここがふたりが　出会った　場所ね
あなたったら　10円札　追いかけて

ずっと　ここに　残る　さくらよ

完成したわタイムマシン
わたし麗しのモダンガール
うふふふ

目覚めた時には元通り
あなた可愛い寝顔ね
うふふふ

なんどでも　戻れるはずよ
あなたに　さよならは　絶対言わせない
あなたは素直なモダンボーイ
わたしが　いいって　いうまでは

■ Lyrics (Google Translate)
"Enihcam Emit"

You're a fickle person
It ’s too heartless.

Scars that remain here forever

I want to go back to the two of us when we met

It's completed time machine
You have a cute sleeping face
Ufufufu

When you wake up, it's back to normal
I'm sure you're crazy about me
Ufufufu


This is the place where the two met
You're chasing a 10-yen bill

Sakura stays here forever

It's completed time machine
I'm a beautiful modern girl
Ufufufu

When you wake up, it's back to normal
You have a cute sleeping face
Ufufufu

We should be able to go back anytime
I will never let you say goodbye
You are a straightforward modern boy
Until I say "it's okay"

Flexmode(feat. Big Xodia)

Note: The i tweaked the mix a little bit, sounds a little better now..
Okay so i started a little early on my pride track for this year. It was supposed to be uplifting and happy, but Alabama just passed a law very similar, and yet worse, than Florida's idiotic don't say gay bill. So i finished this up, and it's a little acerbic. It's pride weekend here in Mobile this anyway so I guess it's as a good a time as any!

With my complete and heartfelt apology to Anastacia...

Here’s to the ones that feel like they don’t belong,
That are looking for a reason to keep hanging on
You’ve got a friend in me and you know that it’s so
And together we are stronger than you will ever know

If there’s a way to stand out you’ll find it
When it’s your time to shine you will blind them!

Now there’s a word going ‘round they’re tryna shut us down
Cause we don’t act like the others in their country club towns
And they’re spreading lies, they try to dehumanize
But they’re just putting us down to bring their selves up high

And we’ll never back down, we’re gonna stand our ground
And we won’t shut up, we’re gonna shout out loud

It’s our life and we’re gonna live it
They don’t have what it takes to break our spirit,
There’s a word that they hate, but they’re gonna hear it,
We’re gonna sing it out loud today, that word is,,,

Now it seems insane, they have so much to gain,
When they create some kind of drama just to smear our name,
We all have fear, and we all have pain,
But a little understanding goes a long, long way

And we’ll never back down, we’re gonna stand our ground
And we won’t shut up, we’re gonna shout out loud

It’s our life and we’re gonna live it
They don’t have what it takes to break our spirit,
There’s a word that they hate, but they’re gonna hear it,
We’re gonna sing it out from up above, that word is,,,
LOVE!

Love is the answer
Love brings understanding
Love pulls us together
It’s a word so demanding
Love wins over hate
It always prevails
Love tolerates,
Love never fails!
Love is what guides us,
It’s a beacon that blinds us
It will always finds us
Love will unite us!

Too Late To Dance

UNE ROUTE QUI DÉROUTE À CIEL OUVERT
L’AUTOMNE QUI S’ÉTONNE D’ÊTRE DÉJÀ L’HIVER
DANS LE NOIR OÙ SCINTILLENT LES YEUX JAUNES D’UN CHAT
LA FILLE SE DÉSHABILLE SE GLISSE SOUS TES DRAPS

ET MOI 

UNE ROUTE SOUS LA VOUTE INTERSTELLAIRE
LA LUNE QUI S’ALLUME AU CLAIR DE LA TERRE
LA FILLE SE RHABILLE ELLE NE REVIENDRA PAS 
HEY MEC RAMASSE TES BILLES ET PUIS MEC OUBLIE LA
 
ÇA BRILLE LÀ-HAUT ÇA SCINTILLE MAIS ÇA N’AVEUGLE QUE TOI
LE SOLEIL EN BAS RÉSILLE ME CASSE LA GUEULE DE BOIS

UNE ROUTE QUI DÉROUTE À CIEL OUVERT
UN CAMION QUI CAMIONNE À TOMBEAU OUVERT

UNE ROUTE 71 (Lyrics)

Jo and I teamed up on this tune. To rethink and remake it. Jo felt that this song could be taken as an Allegory for what is happening in the Ukraine and all wars. 
His lovely (Russian) Rav Vast Rhythms are meant as a poignant reminder That "Governments are the war makers."  ALL OF US are trying to survive our governments.

Jo also produced the haunting voicings and  the wonderful   water wind and birds from a natural recording. 
A heartfelt thank you to jo for this. see his other works at "Sonic Structures and Silent Stretchs" Peace.

Babe, wake up it's a beautiful day
Feel the sun bring a smile to your face
I've been alone for so long
Can't get a hold of you
Screaming but nobody's home
Calling but I'm getting nothing from you
time made us older still fight like a soldier I'm not giving up on the truth
I'm getting nothing from you
Head full of dreams we'll have all that we need I am not gonna stop until we do
wasn't thunder was a bomb just a bomb there's
No time to wonder what went wrong it went wrong move on, move on, move on move on
That wasn't thunder just a bomb just a bomb baby
No time to wonder what went wrong it went wrong move on, move on, move on move on
Babe, wake up it's a beautiful day
Feel the sun bring a smile to your face
I've been alone for so long
Can't get a hold of you
Screaming but nobody's home
Calling but I'm getting nothing from you
time made us older still fight like a soldier I'm not giving up on the truth
I'm getting nothing from you
Head full of dreams we'll have all that we need I am not gonna stop until we do
Babe, wake up it's a beautiful day
Feel the sun put a smile on your face
I've been alone so long
Can't get a hold of you
Screaming but nobody's home
Calling but I'm getting nothing from you
time made us older still fight like a soldier I'm not giving up on the truth
I'm getting nothing from you
Head full of dreams we'll have all that we need I am not gonna stop until we do
Not gonna stop until we do
Not giving up on the truth
Not gonna give up on you
Not giving up on the truth never give up on you
Original 3/3 chord progression written by Dave Ferrairo
Mike Molino vocals, piano, drums, bass, guitar, synth, lyrics 
Mike: Dave sent me this 3/3 chord progression that he came up with on acoustic guitar. I had it in my playlist for about a year. One day while sitting in my car waiting for my daughter to come out of Lacrosse practice it came on and I started singing "Calling but I'm getting nothing from you". I went home and played it on the piano. Had to add the D G C part at the end of the chorus to fit the vocal melody. And if you want to really get musician nerdy I had to go to the F# a measure early for "I've been alone for so long" for it to land on "long". I didn't want it to stay slow throughout the entire song so I added the 4/4 part after the first chorus "wasn't thunder was a bomb...." and that brought me back to the verse but more up tempo and still 4/4. I had to cut that off to get back to 3/3 chorus so I created "screaming but nobody's home" which allowed me to stop making it easy to pick up with the 3/3 chorus

Calling

4 Star Commended Entry in the 2022 UK Songwriting Contest

I put out acoustic versions of of a couple of my songs last year and found they were well received - one even has more plays than the multitrack version. So that gave me the idea for this song.

Unplugged music, as nature intended,
If it sounds this good there's no need to defend it,
Unplugged music, as nature intended,
It's songs like these that can be recommended,

The song is a song and that's as good as it gets,
There's no need for any electronic effects,
When the singer sings a song in an ordinary voice,
Without auto-tune it's the obvious choice,

Unplugged music, as nature intended,
If it sounds this good there's no need to defend it,
Unplugged music, as nature intended,
It's songs like these that can be recommended,

The guitar drives the tune as the strings vibrate
Blended with the voice it sounds really great,
The amplifier's useless in the corner of the room,
The power of the music's in its simple tune,

Unplugged music, as nature intended,
If it sounds this good there's no need to defend it,
Unplugged music, as nature intended,
It's songs like these that can be recommended,

It's songs like these that can be recommended,
Unplugged music, as nature intended,

"Let Me Tell You This"

Let me tell you this
I don’t miss your kisses
I don’t miss the sound of your voice
When you sing with a smile on your face

Let me tell you that
I don’t want you back
I don’t need the touch of your hand 
To wipe all the pain away

I don’t talk about you with the moon
I don’t think about you every day
I don’t look for you in the corners of my room
I don’t wait for you in my dreams

Let me tell you now
I’ll get this somehow
I don’t need a thousand more years
To dry all the tears that I’ve cried

I don’t talk about you with the moon
I don’t think about you every day
I don’t look for you in the corners of my room
I don’t wait for you in my dreams

Let me tell you this
I don’t miss your kisses
I don’t miss the sound of your voice
When you sing with a smile on your face

Let me tell you that
I don’t want you back
I don’t need the touch of your hand 
To wipe all the pain away
I don’t need the touch of your hand 
To wipe all the pain away

This is my Covid Project.
Up until recently I reckon I was the only person on the planet not to have experienced the dreaded virus!
Anyway, I finally caught it while trying to record this song. All fairly mild but it lingered a while, and affected my voice a bit. 
This song has been knocking around for so long now I haven't the heart to do any more re-recording :) So ........ up it goes.
PS all better now ....... eventually!

« Tanguistic study N°3 » of Astor Piazzolla

(Written by Terry Reeves)

I have been trying to play the guitar since the early 70s but even after all this time still don’t think I’m really good enough to actually call myself a guitarist.  I was lucky that there were always guitars laying around the family house and could therefore pick one up any time I wanted and strum away to myself.  Having two older brothers who were semi-pro musicians was also a big encouragement and I used to love going down to see them rehearsing with the band they were in at the time, developing a yearning to join them, whilst never believing it would actually happen.

When I moved into a place of my own, my brother Bri gifted me one of his guitars so that I could play any time I wanted.  I can’t actually remember when it occurred to me that I was actually starting to write my own songs but as I continued to play,  pleasing chord structures just seemed to emerge and I started to sing along.  Eventually, I wrote down some lyrics and gave each piece a title. It became a kind of therapy, channelling a lot of my personal and political frustrations into song but keeping it all to myself.  Fear of rejection ruled my thinking for some time.

That I managed to overcome that, tentatively recording a few songs onto cassette and sending them to Bri & Gal turned out to be one of the best things I ever did.  I’ll never forget them calling to say they thought the songs were great and that we must get together to rehearse and record them. 

So that’s how Root Division became an actual band.  We drafted in John Palmer, who had played bass in the band I used to see rehearse all those years before and soon after, there we all were in my living room, recording my songs onto Bri's four track reel-to-reel machine.  It all seems pretty stone-age now but it sounded bloody great to me.  

Those first sessions were recorded in a house on the edge of a school playing field (I was the groundsman) so we could make as much noise as we liked.  Later on, we gravitated to the attic of a house Bri was sharing, going on to record 13 songs and having a blast in the process.  The memories I have of those days still loom large in the memory.  Days full of wild ideas and even wilder laughs.  Days I will never forget.

In all the nostalgia of yesteryear, we mustn’t forget Hans Albers, who has once again produced another brilliant arrangement.  I cannot ever thank him enough for everything he brings to these songs.  Thanks to you all for listening.  Your encouragement means everything.  (Terry Reeves)

Head in the clouds nowhere to go
Empty room with guitar solo show
Playing demo of songs for reaction
Cathartic moments, hidden rejection

Searching for a root division (Dividing dreams, finding truth)
Searching for a root division (Concerts in telephone booths)

Expressive words tried to be taken
Spying musical notes not unshaken
Hopeful moves toward a joint decision
Holidays end in disappointing collision

Searching for a root division  (Dividing dream, avoiding life)
Searching for a root division  (Cutting sharp, use surgical knife)

Writing words with a political slant
Separation of four directional plants
Playing music with family heroes 
No thought of ending with ‘Another Zero’

Searching for a root division (Dividing dream, avoiding truth) 
Searching for a root division (Finding time, a musical sleuth)

(Never expected my brothers to call...)
Searching for a root division (repeat)
 
Live band recording reel to reel tape
Buzzing feeling with a chance to escape 
Start to finish our music engagement 
All on my own to a foursome arrangement

Searching for a root division (Dividing dreams, avoiding truth) 
Searching for a root division (Keeping time all under one roof)

(It’s time to get the band out of bed…"Come on John!")     
Searching for a root division… (Repeat to end)

SEARCHING FOR A ROOT DIVISION - Cripple Club & Hans Albers

I opened one of my poetry anthologies randomly and stumbled on this short, heartfelt verse by Anne Brontë. I kept the singing quite simplistic as it seemed more important to sing/read it accurately than with any stylistic flare, and Andy accompanied me, and did all the technical stuff. We hope you enjoy our rendition of it.

“My soul is awakened, my spirit is soaring
And carried aloft on the wings of the breeze;
For above and around me the wild wind is roaring,
Arousing to rapture the earth and the seas.
The long withered grass in the sunshine is glancing,
The bare trees are tossing their branches on high;
The dead leaves, beneath them, are merrily dancing,
The white clouds are scudding across the blue sky.
I wish I could see how the ocean is lashing
The foam of its billows to whirlwinds of spray;
I wish I could see how its proud waves are dashing,
And hear the wild roar of their thunder today!”

Lines Composed in a Wood on a Windy Day (Anne Brontë)

Part of a new album I've been uploading, featuring compositions written over the last several months of 2021. If anyone can pinpoint what all of these compositions have in common, musically-speaking, put it in the comments - there was a concept tying everything together but I'm not going to reveal what it was, haha.

Cover art created using NeuralBlender.

This album is going to be called "Prohibited Topics," a tribute to the textbook authors and teachers whose work is being disrupted by right wing efforts to stifle education about racial disparity and structural racism in the US. These compositions weren't written with this subject matter in mind, full-disclosure, but the album has now been named in response to this issue and will be dedicated to educators, and to truth, which will win in the end despite efforts to silence it.

Lyrics:
See the southern cross, my little love?
Trace the shapes in the galaxy above
Tiny lights in the sky
Distant giant fires
Time will pass, and the stars will age
And my love for you will never fade
Never fade away.
No matter where, why, how far you fly
I’ll be by your side like a constellation
A constellation in the night sky
See the southern cross, my little love?
Trace the shapes in the darkness above
Burning bright in the sky
Distant giant fires
Time will pass, and the stars will age
And my love for you will never, never fade away

Little to say about this song; both lyrics and music (all organic but for programmed drums) were done very impulsively, so it may show my primal inspiration without reworks or additions. Hope you'll enjoy it!

Translated Lyrics:

YO PENSÉ (LA SEXTA VEZ) / I THOUGHT (THE SIXTH TIME)

Yo pensé: esa mujer no es peligrosa…
  (I thought: that woman is not dangerous …)
No esperé enamorarme como un idiota.
  (I did not expect to fall in love like an idiot.)
Me pregunté: ¿qué tiene en los ojos que tanto me tienta?
  (I wondered: what’s in her eyes which tempts me so much?)
y me acerqué para hablar con ella y verlos de cerca.
  (And I got closer to speak with her and watch them closely.)

Y si era la primera vez, ¿por qué no extrañaba hacerlo con ella?
  (And if it was the first time, why didn’t I feel strange doing it with her?)
Y si era la primera vez, ¿por qué parecía que era la sexta?
  (And if it was the first time, why did it seem to be the sixth one?)
Y si era la sexta vez, ¿por qué hubo preguntas después de la escena?
  (And if it was the sixth time, why were there questions after the scene?)

Y si fue la única vez, ¿por qué no puedo apartarla de mi cabeza?
  (And if it was the unique time, why cannot I take her out of my head?)
