Married In The Morning

Illusion machine. (Winkandwoo & Midisound)
=======================


Music created in July 2024
Editing, lyrics, vocals and covert art by Winkandwoo.

The original idea came from the chorus of the music. I thought of an accordion to create it, but unfortunately I couldn't find a good sound for the iPad for this instrument, so I scrapped the idea and replaced it with a soft synthesizer with some depth.

My partner in adventures, on this occasion, did the rest with an impeccable job full of creativity and elegance.

Thanks Clive, again, for this gift.

Lyrics.

What are they feeding your mind
How are they seeding your kind

Illusion machine
It's bigger than you and me
Illusion machine
The demon's behind your screen

Why do they need you so much
When do they get in touch

Illusion machine
It's bigger than you and me
Illusion machine
The demon's behind your screen

ILLUSION MACHINE (Winkandwoo & Midisound)

Last one 2024!! 

This started off as a completely different song. But I decided to leave this as a SUPER SHORT one after much consideration. Imagine all the different things that this song COULD be about. That to me - for this peace of work - is what makes it interesting. The mystery behind it. The listener can put their own story onto it. Anything at all. 

Or just listen to it as it. 

This is a "not song - song" 

Happy End of 2024 to all my wonderfully talented peers on Soundcloud! 

Lyrics:

Seems as though 
All my Life
I was walking the lonely road
Seems as though 
All this time
I didn't know how to take
What was rightfully mine
It was right there in front of me
Oh oh oh
All this time

Seems As Though (Last One, 2024)

I feel the days falling away
I know that you feel the same
All the years now on display
In between some light and shade

Midnight starlight
Music on the square
We used to be there
Running in the shadows
Rapping with the poets beats
We used to walk these streets

The echo of those days remain
In the corners where we used to play
Time slips through like rain
But we still find our way

Midnight starlight
Music on the square
We used to be there
Running in the shadows
Rapping with the poets beats
We used to walk these streets

Whispers of a brighter dawn
In the places where we once belonged

Midnight starlight
Music on the square
We used to be there
Running in the shadows
Rapping with the poets beats
We used to walk these streets

Streets

There is a another, more accessible version of this poem waiting for you because Dan Lockhart has composed a version of the poem that fits his accomplished and well-acclaimed style, called WHO FED THEM.

method: birdsong went into this, guitar and bass. lots of morphing and fitting that cannot be heard any more (the best kind)

THE WORD FOR HUMAN IS HUMAN / copyright jo richter:

tiny soldiers fight battles in sandcastle boxes
adorned with merchandise stickers and stuff
while the snakes all rythmically rattle their rattles
as each drop in the lead pipes sizzles with toxins
and prosperity preachers sleep and dream rough

red-shifted galaxies slip by within bubbles ablaze
as the sun spot jacuzzi breeds tadpoles of light
watch planets breathe plasma in a self-centering sigh
unfastening fixings and fillings in mental space
there is no-one seeing but personified sight

there's a physics-sized gap in time's memory
opened by tricks played on Schroedinger's mind
provoked by some impulse to doze off and nap
and to sleepily call off the rabied hounds of rigidity
and just be gracious and gentle and kind

the word for human is human

A remix of "Hey Stranger" (written by myself) in the style of a 1960's instrumental. Anybody else a fan of The Shadows or The Ventures. Still music I listen to from my very large collection of original vinyl and CD.

Contare gli asterischi 

Legati al filo della speranza
Inseguendo un flèbile ricordo  
Interpretando tutto con coerenza  
Combattendo un piccolo ma grande dramma  

Ma la giovinezza la mia cara e bella giovinezza  
Non c’è più, ormai è andata e mai ritornerà  
Dove tutto era facile e scontato  
Dove si annidava la spensieratezza di chi sta bene  

Ed eccomi qui  
A contare gli asterischi  
Districarmi dai valori  
Neanche fosse la collezione dei miei dischi  
Ed eccomi qui  
A contemplare i miei fiaschi  
Un palcoscenico ormai in disuso  
Senza spettatori ma solo vuoto assoluto  

E mentre il tempo segna il suo passo,  
accetto i segni, i nodi, i rimpianti,  
sapendo che ogni ferita e ogni errore  
sono parte di me, ormai compagni silenziosi.  

Ed eccomi qui  
A contare gli asterischi  
Districarmi dai valori  
Neanche fosse la collezione dei miei dischi  
Ed eccomi qui  
A contemplare i miei fiaschi  
Un palcoscenico ormai in disuso  
Senza spettatori ma solo vuoto assoluto. 

Così resto qui, tra luci spente e ricordi,  
a cercare un senso nel vuoto che avanza,  
con la speranza fragile di chi sa  
che anche il silenzio può raccontare una storia

Contare gli asterischi

Lyrics: 

i sharpen the knife
you riveted into my back 
you should know by now 
i’m deadly inside 

do i scare you out? 
‘cause i don’t sleep at night
i saw horror too young
now i’m fucked in the mind 

i could plan 
my revenge 
i'm deranged 
i'm unhinged 

now 
watch me
put my 
gloves on
(like i'm dexter)

i don’t where to put
all the darkness you left in me
i’ve been hiding, drowning, drowning
in the weight of your memories

is it healthy
to fantasize
about your demise?
the things i'd do to you
(ugh, i wanna fucking kill you, man)

its been 20 years of silence
and restlessness 
i want to hurt you back
(and then wipe the mess)

puke out nightmares
through my teeth 
until your demons
beg on their knees 

now 
watch me
put my 
gloves on
(like i'm dexter)

i don’t where to put
all the darkness you left in me
i’ve been hiding, drowning, drowning
in the weight of your memories

you stole everything from me
my innocence, my security

you stole everything from me
my peace, my sleep

now 
watch me
put my 
gloves on
(like i'm dexter)

i don’t where to put
all the darkness you left in me
i’ve been hiding, drowning, drowning
in the weight of your memories 
(like i'm dexter)

i don’t where to put
all the darkness you left in me
i’ve been hiding, drowning, drowning
in the weight of your memories

now 
watch me
put my 
gloves on
(like i'm dexter)
