This re-recorded version sounds great, my friend! Always liked this song...the Martin, Hohner and your vocal sound fine together!

Love this wonderful dylanesque Retro-Sound

Very well said, Riff, love this lyric...and a great sound on those instruments, too!!!

Great song with really cool vocals/lyrics and instrumentation.

A classic song and performance Riff! The vocal is compelling as you lament the grind, the relentless void. The words ring true...Durge

Starting Terminus - RUIZZO's Point Of View (Piano by Fivos Valachis)

Harbor City

This new song came together as both of us found ourselves laid out at exactly the same time with very similar ailments - severe nerve pain which completely wiped us both out for weeks. Both of us on the mend now though, thank goodness, that kind of pain SUCKS.....
Gina is the star of the show here (as always!). 
She says this song is about how memories can be so strong that present time perceptions of things like air temperature and even humidity get perceived in terms of the memory attached to it.....

And I'd be remiss to neglect how coincidentally topical the title is given the weather we've had here in Sydney and in The Blue Mountains since the back end of last year. In my little town up in the Mountains we've had 113 days of nearly constant rain over the last few months, while many areas in our state of New South Wales and Queensland above us have been hit by multiple "once in a generation floods" in just a matter of a few weeks....

I know the temperature
Of the morning air
By the joy of proximity
And time with no time
I know the air

I know the steps of spring
By the order
Of the blooms
I gave to you 
I know the softest violet hue
I know the signs

I know the time 
By the beauty now
I gave to you then
I know the time

I know the colour blue
By the gums outline
I know the clouds
By magnitudes and height
I know the horizon far
By the way I think of home

I know these kinds of things
By my love
When I fly to you
When I fly to you
When I fly to you
When I fly to you
When I fly to you

Knife / The Temperature

Keep me forever

The Temperature

We're going under
This is not our lucky day
My mind's asunder
Oh, let's save those thoughts away
Yeah I heard the thunder
There are still so many things to say
You disturbed our slumber
Oh, this is not your lucky day

We're going out there
We're going all the way, the wrong way
You may think it's unfair
But it was you who chose to play
And now we don't care
No, we can keep this up all day
Yeah, you better beware
'Cause this seems not you lucky day

Oh this is where you drown, you drown
It's all the same so let's, get out of town
Love will end and now, you're down, you're down
Thoughts may blend, and you, will drown, will drown

Oh this is where you drown, you drown
It's all the same so let's, get out of town
Love will end and now, you're down, you're down
Thoughts may blend, and you, will chase yourself around

Lucky Day

words and music K. Gennery
For Lauren.

one step at a time moves you a little closer
to the white winning line not so far for you to go now

were willing you on to break the tape
smash the record experience the roar of the crowd
enjoy the occasion embrace the adulation

whether a babies crawl or a giants stride
 doesnt matter which you take
when the destinations happiness
make sure you get there in the end

i could feel it as we talked see it in those beautiful blue eyes
you have so much to give all to live for
no more suffering raise your own family
go travel the world
this dedication is a celebration of life
this dedication is a celebration of life

Give me fresh coffee beans….. I’ll wake up feeling fine
Until I’m fed through The Daily Grind
It sure seems good while it’s churning away
But, I’m all ground up at the end of the day
Got a tune in my head that’s searching for words
Searching for something that’s never been heard
Pebbles in a quarry all mixed into a load
Smashed into gravel and used to build a road
(Chorus)
Change in my pocket and nothing but time
I’m Working my way through The Daily Grind
Sometimes, I swear….I’m losing my mind
‘Cuz, I’m so worn from The Grind
(Oh, and I’m so worn from The Grind)
Put some coffee on to start my day
Don’t want to work, just hang out and play
Sometimes, I swear I’m losing my mind
Want more from life than The Daily Grind
Cuz’ I’m so tired of The Grind

Hazy mornings with you
Everything’s gone downhill

We’ll cruise through the stars
Just making up together
This beautiful collision

I know you know I’d do anything
Cause you care and I do
You and I so beautifully collide
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision

Just a last time then I’ll disappear
All of our tainted years

We’ll cruise through the stars
Just making up together
This beautiful collision

I know you know I’d do anything
You care and I do
You and I so beautifully collide
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision

SANCTUARY

I want you
I think I see you everywhere
We want love
We want to see love everywhere
 
Under the sway of thy gentle wings
All the world comes together
 
Old friends, no more these sounds! 
Let us sing more cheerful songs 
More full of joy! 
More full of joy!
Joy, bright spark of divinity, daughter of Elysium 
Fire-inspired we tread thy Sanctuary 
Sanctuary…

Joy!

I want you
I think I see you everywhere
We want love
We want to see love everywhere

Under the sway of thy gentle wings
All the world comes together
 
All you millions, I embrace you 
Well this kiss is for all the world
And you millions, oh I embrace you all
This kiss is for everyone 
All the world…

Chordal Mixtures Remix 5 Nov 2023

I’m happy to post this song with help from my first SC friend https://soundcloud.com/espere-verde, who encouraged me on to improve my music making from a very start. Good musician & draughtsman (he did this artwork too), his vocal performance here gave the mood I couldn’t to the song.

Technical highlights:
>Most vocals: Espere Verde
>Music & almost no vocals: Ruizzoidman
>Odd patterns hidden along three levels in this track: amalgamated psycho-hard coating, usual 7/2 in punk/ska intermediate parts, and finally the sweater core is structured in groups of five measures.

Lyrics: strangely, I wrote about these stressing things when I was 21 and supposedly happy; I'd say similarly today I'm twice as old...

SIN MUJERES NI TABACO, SIN PRISAS  /  WITHOUT WOMEN OR TOBACCO, WITHOUT HURRIES
  
Todo lo que odio me ayuda a vivir,  /  Everything I hate helps me to live,
lo que me pone enfermo me empuja a seguir.  /  what gets me ill pushes me on.
Todo aquello que quiero dejar de sentir  /  Everything I want to stop feeling
es lo que da sentido a mi vivir.  /  is what gives sense to my life.
  
No puedo vivir sin mujeres,  /  I cannot live without women,
ni tabaco, sin prisas,  /  or tobacco, without hurries,
no puedo vivir.  /  I cannot live.
  
Mi ración horaria de tabaco  /  My hourly ration of tobacco
me mata por dentro.  /  kills me from inside.
Mi ración horaria de tabaco  /  My hourly ration of tobacco
me ayuda a vivir.  /  helps me to live.
Mi ración diaria de prisas  /  My daily ration of hurries
me saca los nervios.  /  gets me on my nerves.
Mi ración diaria de prisas  /  My daily ration of hurries
me empuja a seguir.  /  pushes me to continue.
  
Mi ración … de mujeres  /  My … ration of women 
me hace sufrir.  /  makes me suffer.
Mi ración … de mujeres  /  My … ration of women 
me ayuda a vivir.  /  helps me to live.
