Selection of tracks from my March playlists #3236 to #3371

Selected tracks from March playlists 2021/03 #3372

Back in September we played a live stream gig at the Hotbox venue in Chelmsford, Essex. Our set on the night included 2 new songs (of which this was one) Rory Attwell took those skeletal live recordings and with some studio wizardry turned them in to 2 proper tracks (All vocals recorded again in the studio) 

We had never worked this way before but this lockdown pushed us to be inventive.

‘24 Roehampton Street’ tells the story of a couple living out the last moments of their lives after an apocalyptic event. The songs protagonist faces up to all the years he has wasted working  and how far removed he is from the person he was when he first met his wife. The memories of how happy they once were come flooding back when he is faced with the inevitable end. 

The song was influenced by 80s nuclear war films Threads and When The Wind Blows and the Civil Defence information series Protect and Serve.

Lyrics:

Cafeteria buzz and a seat by the wall,
Tray getting cold, eyes fixed on the floor.
Phone lights up, then goes dark again,
Three dots vanish like they did before.
Teacher says, “You with us today?”
I nod and try to hold the line.
A cracked pencil, chewed-up end—
I say “I’m fine,” and hope it’s not a lie.

We were just kids with planets on our backs,
Homework, heartache, all in the same packs.
Smiles for attendance, tears after class,
Trying to breathe when the minutes won’t pass.
If someone asks, “Are you okay?”
Please let the question stay—
We’re more than quiet faces and grades,
We’re hearts that need a hand some days.

Nurse’s office, lights hum low,
Name on a list that barely moves.
Hoodie sleeves pulled past the knuckles,
Counting steps in worn-out shoes.
Group chat jokes I can’t keep up with,
Laugh reacts I don’t quite feel.
I rinse my lunchbox out at night
And wish that wishing healed.

We were just kids with planets on our backs,
Homework, heartache, all in the same packs.
Smiles for attendance, tears after class,
Trying to breathe when the minutes won’t pass.
If someone asks, “Are you okay?”
Please let the question stay—
We’re more than quiet faces and grades,
We’re hearts that need a hand some days.

It isn’t weakness to say you’re tired,
Or ask a friend to walk you home.
Even the loudest cheer on Friday
Can hide a hush you face alone.
So write your name in your own handwriting,
Say it out loud, let someone hear—
Sometimes courage is a message sent:
“Could you sit by me this year?”

We are the kids with planets on our backs,
Homework, heartache, all in the same packs.
If you’re falling behind, I’ll match your pace,
We can trade the weight and share the space.
When someone asks, “Are you okay?”
Let’s keep the question brave—
We’re more than quiet faces and grades,
We’re hearts that need a hand some days.

Bus windows fog, initials in the steam—
Tomorrow, let’s try again.
No one has to carry everything.

The Weight Under Backpacks - Feat. Sara Schiller

What if I wasn't here anymore?

Juokse sinä humma
Vaikka on se kyllä kumma
Ettei taksia löydy mistään
Hämmennyksen nään silmistään

Kädessä on kartta
Ja toisessa yks Martta
Perille me tuskin tullaan
Miksen jäänyt Österkullaan

Sadetta se tietää
Ei kaikkea voi sietää
Kohta myrsky meidät pieksee
Humma silti vielä juoksee

Seuraavana päivänä
Löysivät ne märkänä
Meidät sekä Humma vainaan
Alta sateettoman taivaan

Ojassa me maattiin
Ja sairaslomaa saatiin
Jotain puolitoista kuuta
Meiltä katkes monta luuta

Humma oli riski
Mut salama kun iski
Niin ei siinä mitään voinut
Sen jälkeen on korvat soinut

Österkulla - Jore w/Suno

Written, Performed, Recorded & Produced by Barry James Streek.

ASAMA is a project of ALEX CONNORS, SABRINA & MARKUS. More or less by accident, this studio project was developed. The story goes as follows: ALEX is part of the OHRAL FAMILY for ages. SABRINA & MARKUS are regular guests at ohral events, which are known for transporting a very special family vibe - so also those three got friends. Someday they hung around in Alex´ flat and he invited them to join him into his sauna. And no, it's not getting dirty here, as Alex build his "studio" in an old sauna. On the other side, as you will hear (and although the sauna is no longer in operation), the following studio sessions really went hot.

The original track of ASAMA kicks of this EP and turns out to be a heart-pounding techno stomper. At least when the bass line jumps in you know that you are dealing with a serious peak time track made to make you sweat. Out of these original Alex and Hardy Heller did a more melo-oriantated version, while the 2nd mix goes down the deep house road. Enjoy !

Asama - Asama (The Going Deeper Version) - Ohral Recordings

From the upcoming 'PCPQ EP'

We wander
We wander

Wait wait
What if we bumped into someone we did not know had the key
Wait wait
What if we knew the clue somehow worked out in these sleepless nights

We know we know where it's buried where it's buried
Dirt under your nails
We wander
We wander

Wait wait
What if we bumped into someone we did not know had the key
Wait wait
What if we knew the clue somehow worked out in these sleepless nights

Wait wait
What if we knew the clue somehow worked out in these sleepless nights

The Road To Nowhere

Listen & Download

Denis Sender - The Road To Nowhere

Wow, hadn't realised what a journey SoundCloud would take me on.  After many years of passive listening to music I've dieted on a variety of tastes. My appetite for new sounds is undiminished and SC provides plenty of food. I am not a musician and have only recently started to listen positively to the sounds. My early years began listening to music from ABC, The Beatles, The Carpenters Dire Straits Eagles Fleetwood Mac Genesis Elton John Led Zeppelin Gilbert O'Sullivan Rod Stewart Supertramp Tangerine Dream Vangelis The Who and many more.
If you can't spot a trend in my current likes it may be because it is diverse. I love listening to all my playlists which contain tracks that I like and if you like any of the music you must thank the artists not me.
