This is my submission for the Darksiders quarterly playlist, this time involving the theme of colours. Inspired by the Beach colour palette. Dark turquoise water, muted cool greys and the beige colour of sand. Thanks for listening

Birds in a bare tree
Dance on windswept branches
Their waiting ballet ..

Marco Lucchi - A bare tree [Naviar Haiku # 476]

I felt inspired to have a go at this week’s Junto as I love field recordings and I am also pretty immersed in playing with rhythms at the moment. It was a natural fit and great fun.

For the process I loaded the original field recording into Ableton’s Simpler and used Split mode, one of my favourite features. I done similar on another channel with a sampled drum loop. Between the two they made a complex polyrhythm. From here I mapped up some parameters and jammed out a long take, most of which remains untouched in this piece. I then layered sub bass below using the Model D and used a sample from 2001 Space Odyssey I took from vinyl a few months ago for the primal style scream halfway through. I felt it fitting with the tribal nature of the drums.

I think the piece is quite a challenging listen but very honest. Great fun was had too :-)

Track Title: "Rise Up"

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
When the night is dark and the road is long
And the weight of the world feels so strong
When your feet are tired and your heart is weak
And your dreams seem too far to reach

(Chorus)
Rise up, rise up, don't give up the fight
You're stronger than you know, you can win this fight
Rise up, rise up, reach for the sky
Let your heart be your guide, and you'll fly

(Verse 2)
When the storm clouds gather and the thunder rolls
And the winds of change take their toll
When you're lost in the crowd and you feel alone
And the road ahead seems unknown

(Chorus)
Rise up, rise up, don't give up the fight
You're stronger than you know, you can win this fight
Rise up, rise up, reach for the sky
Let your heart be your guide, and you'll fly

(Bridge)
You've got the power within, to chase your dreams
You've got the courage to believe in what you can achieve
No matter what they say, you can make it through
You can climb that mountain high, and reach for the view

(Chorus)
Rise up, rise up, don't give up the fight
You're stronger than you know, you can win this fight
Rise up, rise up, reach for the sky
Let your heart be your guide, and you'll fly

(Outro)
So rise up, rise up, and take your stand
You've got the strength to make it to the promised land
Rise up, rise up, and make your mark
And let the world know that you've got heart.

Rise Up

Track Title: "Heartbreak Anthem"

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
I used to feel so lost and alone
In a love that was all wrong
But now I see the light, now I know
That it's time to move on

(Chorus)
This is my heartbreak anthem
A celebration of what's to come
I'm not looking back, I'm moving on
From a love that was so wrong

(Verse 2)
I used to think that love was pain
But now I know it doesn't have to be
I'm standing strong, I'm breaking free
From a love that never let me be

(Chorus)
This is my heartbreak anthem
A celebration of what's to come
I'm not looking back, I'm moving on
From a love that was so wrong

(Bridge)
I'm finally free, I'm finally me
I'm not the person I used to be
I'm stronger now, I'm moving on
From a love that did me wrong

(Chorus)
This is my heartbreak anthem
A celebration of what's to come
I'm not looking back, I'm moving on
From a love that was so wrong

(Outro)
I'm singing out loud, I'm feeling so proud
I'm not letting love bring me down
This is my heartbreak anthem
And I'm moving on, moving on, moving on.

Heartbreak Anthem

Track Title: "Feel It All"

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
I've been through the fire
And I've been through the rain
I've felt the weight of the world
And the joy of the game
But through it all, I know one thing
That life is worth the ride
The highs and lows, the pain and hope
Are what makes us come alive

(Chorus)
Feel it all, every rise and every fall
Embrace the hurt, embrace it all
For every tear, there's a smile in store
So feel it all, and rise once more

(Verse 2)
I've faced my share of battles
And I've stumbled in the fray
But every time I've fallen down
I've found the strength to stay
And though the road ahead is long
I know I'm not alone
For every step I take, I feel
The love that's all around

(Chorus)
Feel it all, every rise and every fall
Embrace the hurt, embrace it all
For every tear, there's a smile in store
So feel it all, and rise once more

(Bridge)
We all have scars, we all have fears
We've all been broken, shed some tears
But in the end, we find our way
And rise again, another day

(Chorus)
Feel it all, every rise and every fall
Embrace the hurt, embrace it all
For every tear, there's a smile in store
So feel it all, and rise once more

(Outro)
So feel it all, let it all out
Let your voice rise up and shout
For in this life, we have it all
So feel it all, and stand tall.

Feel It All

Track Title: "Bad Habits"

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
I know I shouldn't be doing this
But I can't resist the thrill
The way it makes me feel alive
It's like I can't get my fill

(Chorus)
Bad habits, they're calling my name
Tempting me to play their game
I know I shouldn't, but I want to
Indulging in the things I know are bad for me

(Verse 2)
My heart races with each beat
As I surrender to the heat
I know it's wrong, but it feels so right
And I can't resist the fight

(Chorus)
Bad habits, they're calling my name
Tempting me to play their game
I know I shouldn't, but I want to
Indulging in the things I know are bad for me

(Bridge)
It's like a secret I can't keep
The way my body starts to leap
Into the darkness of the night
I know it's wrong, but it feels so right

(Chorus)
Bad habits, they're calling my name
Tempting me to play their game
I know I shouldn't, but I want to
Indulging in the things I know are bad for me

(Outro)
I know I'll pay for my mistakes
But for now, I'm in the moment
I'll deal with the consequences later
Because right now, I'm too deep in it.

Bad Habits

Track Title: "Tangled"

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Caught up in a web of lies
Can't seem to break free from your eyes
Got me wrapped up in your arms
Can't resist your twisted charms

(Pre-chorus)
I know I should walk away
But every time I try, you make me stay
I'm stuck in this tangled love affair
I can't escape, no matter how I dare

(Chorus)
Tangled up in you, can't break loose
Trapped in this love, can't refuse
Caught in a web of your sweet embrace
I'm tangled up in you, can't find my place

(Verse 2)
Trying to untangle my heart
But every time we're apart
I feel lost without you near
Can't resist this love, so dear

(Pre-chorus)
I know I should walk away
But every time I try, you make me stay
I'm stuck in this tangled love affair
I can't escape, no matter how I dare

(Chorus)
Tangled up in you, can't break loose
Trapped in this love, can't refuse
Caught in a web of your sweet embrace
I'm tangled up in you, can't find my place

(Bridge)
I wish I could unravel this mess
But my heart's beating out of my chest
I know I should find my way out
But I can't resist you, there's no doubt

(Chorus)
Tangled up in you, can't break loose
Trapped in this love, can't refuse
Caught in a web of your sweet embrace
I'm tangled up in you, can't find my place

(Outro)
I'm tangled up in you, can't break free
This love's too complicated, can't you see?
But still, I'm stuck in this tangled affair
Can't escape, no matter how I dare.

Tangled

Track Title: "One More Time"

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
I remember when we used to laugh
All those moments that we had
It felt like nothing could ever tear us apart
But now I'm here alone with a broken heart

(Chorus)
One more time, I wish that you were here
One more time, just to hold you near
I miss you more with every passing day
Wish I could turn back time, and make you stay

(Verse 2)
I try to move on, but I can't forget
All those memories, they haunt me yet
I close my eyes and see your face
Can't shake the feeling that I'm in the wrong place

(Chorus)
One more time, I wish that you were here
One more time, just to hold you near
I miss you more with every passing day
Wish I could turn back time, and make you stay

(Bridge)
I know that I messed up, I know I was wrong
But now that you're gone, it's been so long
I wish that I could make it right
I wish that we could reunite

(Chorus)
One more time, I wish that you were here
One more time, just to hold you near
I miss you more with every passing day
Wish I could turn back time, and make you stay

(Outro)
I'll keep holding on, to memories of you
Hoping that one day, you'll come back too
Until then, I'll keep singing this rhyme
Wishing I could have you back, just one more time.

Heartbreak Anthem
