HK_Superdance_tracks_170

OK, that's enough: 90 tracks.  I have to stop somewhere and write it down, otherwise it won't work, it'll grow too fast.  I'm just like them, the Soundcloud people, the management and employees, I impose restrictions on Ha... except my restrictions are stated clearly, in the open... no biggie, I'm having a good time.  Have fun listening!

I'm presently barred from reposting tracks (I can still repost albums and playlists), so I put what I would normally repost here until I'm allowed again.
This list was born public and will die public.  I have sort of  a system here in SC and having this live playlist as a substitute output helps me a lot, lets me keep my rhythm ; ) If any of these are not yet in a permanent playlist, then it will almost certainly be eventually.  Bisous.

Tomorrow On March 11th we raise a toast to Keith Emerson, sorely missed.   If you were lucky enough to see him live, like I was many times, Your Jaw dropped out of the sheer
brilliance !!  Not only just in ELP, but the Keith Emerson Band, 3, 3.2   and his solo soundtracks and orchestra pieces. The Three Fates conducted by Terje Mikkelsen with Marc Bonilla,  you have got to check that out..  He Said " I only wanted to be known as a composer"  in his later years. those who got to see his play with Brian Auger at the Sour Grapes were so lucky.  So here is my Humble Improv don't cringe too much  Peace G And I raise a toast to the Maestro!

Well, I'm far too gone for any social please
And I crushed the odds but I'm far from free
Gotta find a way to sustain
This numb feeling cause' it's always

In my head again
when I'm feeling this adrenaline
Of the whiskey that's been kickin' in
I hope that this will never end, I said
In my head again
When the problems started from within
And the truth begins a sinkin' in
I'm beggin' please just make this end, yeah

OH! I gotta feel it, getting near it all
Opened up a void that was a hole
Pour it down until it warms the soul
Gotta feel it, getting near it all

Feeling far too gone for any 'socialing'
And I'm way too young to have this disease
So you think I'm wrong? Let me tell you right
How I've all but won this fight

In my head again
when I'm feeling this adrenaline
Of the whiskey that's been kickin' in
I hope that this will never end, I said
In my head again
When the problems started from within
And the truth begins a sinkin' in
I'm beggin' please just make this end, yeah

OH! I gotta feel it, getting near it all
Opened up a void that was a hole
Pour it down until it warms the soul
Gotta feel it, getting near it all (x2)

Lofty Castle
A lofty castle of my own
Like Crusoe pulls up the ladder to be alone
Steerforth, he is our guiding star
Inns of molten blue; that’s our repertoire
“Fill full your cups”

I hear the squawk of corkscrew sound
Long before it’s needed for the next maroon round
I’ve laughed at my own jokes all night
How town sharpens an appetite

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“Vast truths that mortals seldom” found

I heard someone fall down the stairs
False reports the tumbler was in fact truly yours
Perhaps there’s foundation after all
I’m on my back on the passage floor

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“But still we held as time flew by”

Who’s that smoking right by the fireplace? It was me!
Who’s that leaning out of the window? It was me!
Contemplate one self in the mirror? That was me too!

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“Drink to me only with your eyes”

Superstar (BFS Remix)

Hose Fun

A tribute to my Da. He's a shadow of his former self,but still hanging in there.

I was born in the golden time
Ten years after war
People didn't have too much
But they worked damn hard for more
All those years of uneasy truce
Before the long farewell
The truth of making peace with you
Was to make peace with myself

Well I don't really know if you're a good man as such
I don't really know if it means that much
All those years I held a grudge
But I'm old now myself and I'm slower to judge.

I used to think you hated me and punished me each day
But no father held your hand,no one showed the way
You did your best to guide me through the good and bad
But you never read the book,'How to be a Dad'.

Well I don't really know if you're a good man as such
I don't really know if it means that much
All those years I held a grudge
But I'm old now myself and I'm slower to judge.

Lyrics by "Roll the Dice by Charles Bukowski (read by Tom O'Bedlam)"

if you're going to try, go all the
way.
otherwise, don't even start.

if you're going to try, go all the
way.
this could mean losing girlfriends,
wives, relatives, jobs and
maybe your mind.

go all the way.
it could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days.
it could mean freezing on a
park bench.
it could mean jail,
it could mean derision,
mockery,
isolation.

isolation is the gift,
all the others are a test of your
endurance, of
how much you really want to
do it.
and you'll do it
despite rejection and the worst odds
and it will be better than
anything else
you can imagine.

if you're going to try,
go all the way.
there is no other feeling like
that.
you will be alone with the gods
and the nights will flame with
fire.

do it, do it, do it.
do it.

all the way
all the way.

you will ride life straight to
perfect laughter, it's
the only good fight
there is.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"... Do whatever your passion wants you to do.  Do whatever it is you will gladly give all your energy to - and there's a good chance it will eventually pay off.  It doesn't matter whether it is painting, poetry, MUSIC or breeding goldfish.  Do it.  Even if it doesn't pay off financially, at least you will have had a good time and an interesting life."

Erratica

I was inspired by Liisa Pentti’s recording of “Black Is the Color” to do a remix of her interpretation of a traditional folk song.  I was so impressed with her performance and her beautiful voice, so I roughed out an initial version and sent it over to her.  She offered me her original recorded tracks, which enabled me to produce this posted version.  I am very thankful to Liisa for allowing me to do the remix and post it for your enjoyment.  Please visit her SoundCloud site @liisapentti and listen and comment on all of her amazing songs.

I was in the mood to write something heavy and came up with a song inspired by the dread of a diminished 7th chord.  However, there is a counter point to pull it up out of the gloom and impart some beauty.

"I don't always make music.  But when I do, I prefer dynamics.  Stay below -6dB, my friends."

Composition explorations in musical textures, stories and grooves.

I am an amateur composer, producer and musician who has been inspired and influenced by music my entire life.  Beyond my interests in developing harmony and rhythm ideas, a song’s timbres and textures have always held a deeper emotional grip on me.  This passion for tone has dominated my compositions and productions, which are combined with playful melodies and progressions that are immersed in sophisticated soulful beats.

B L U N T • F O R C E • S E R E N I T Y is led by Robin Benjamins and features collaborations with composers and musicians from down the road, and from around the world.  These artists are:
