I'm In No Hurry

This song is about the difficulty of finding inner peace. Rarely we will experience inner peace, usually as just a fleeting glimpse, such as when we are little and gaze up at the stars on a warm summer night. Inner peace can be achieved by focusing more on the gratitudes of the present rather than dwelling on the illusions of the past and future. After all, dwelling on the past is depression and overcomplicating the future is anxiety. The last 10 seconds of the song illustrates a child trying to catch a butterfly. Can you see it too?
Thank you for listening!!

Mark says,
"Making music with Rodolfo is always exciting and often a challenge, although I know we both find it stimulating, as we always aim to reach high and this post is no exception. This new song, started its gestation almost a year ago, instantly showed a lot of promise and since has been through many stages of exploration and rounds of problem-solving. The painfully blunt lyrics were initially inspired by a friend's brutal relationship break-up, but the final result is much heavier. I hope you find it moving rather than disturbing, I was trying to match the mood of Rod's deeply dramatic music."

Rodolfo says,
"I think it's a fantastic song and you've done an amazing job on both the story and the vocals, especially those tough lines. When I was writing it, I just felt like a modern blues with a techno vibe was taking shape. The final sound was defined by the story and those really dramatic, emotional lyrics. You might want to make it clear that it's a fictional story to avoid giving our friends heart attacks."

We appreciate all of the kind support that the Soundcloud community has given our collaborations. Thanks for listening and sharing your thoughts, Mark and Rodolfo

Moments of stress,
How did you deal with the rest?
All that is left of you and me,
Is wrecked.
How can we expect,
To go on when there’s nothing at all left?
 
…Left in the lurch,
You should have done more research.
I was truly never a safe bet for you…
For you could have made,
A much better match than you did with me.
 
Open your eyes,
I promise you won’t be surprised,
It’s been there before you,
All along, all of the way…
…Way before you had sensed,
That we had got it all so wrong by then.
 
Moments of stress,
All such a mess,
It’s anyone’s guess,
How it all went so wrong?
Moments of stress,
No more nor less,
Need I express,
How it all went so wrong?

En souvenir de Maman

Original song by Coral.

Serene angel
Are you there in the trees in the breeze? 
Glorious angel
Hear the choir feel the air that I breath

Turn your head toward the sunlight
Turn your head toward the sunlight

Radiant memories
I thought I’d seen you for real in the haze
Cherished memories
I Thought I’d heard you for real I’m shivering now

But no I’m not afraid 
I’m not afraid to carry on
No I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid to carry on

Guardian angel
Do you know how I feel how I am?
Lovely angel
Do you know you are there in every prayers?

But no I’m not afraid 
I’m not afraid to carry on
No I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid to carry on

Lead me angel
Through the green through the time through my soul
Holy angel
I can feel you are here I’m shredding tears of joy

So no I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid to carry on
No I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid to carry on

Tonert vs  Ralle- Dreckstück

DEMO written, performed, & produced in Logic by Kate E. Stanton 2/23/25 for FAWM
I recently attended a composer's workshop with the instruction of creating a song based off of specific pitches tied to letters in a name. I chose M-O-L-L-Y (Gb, G#, D#, D#, C#) for my inspiration and created this for my daughter. 

Gold
You came in the dark, where light was so far,
Lost in my loneliness, you are a star.
A dream I’d hoped to see, & hold so tight,
Innocence bold, like purest light.

Heart of gold
My shining stone 
A ray of hope in all I've ever known,
In your eyes, 
I want to be
The very best 
version of me.

No money buys what I have found,
This treasure of gold, she's always around
floating freely in my mind 
freely in my heart like
an inner child 

That’s why I love you.
I love you,
heart of gold.
I want to be the best version of me.

Gold

Lyrics

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world

Activated citizens change the world
Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has

Radicalized citizens change the world
Indeed, it’s the only that ever has

Agitate and always agitated

One, two, three, four

Black bloc black mask
Take rights don’t ask
Confront and harass 
Those with power don’t pass

Activated citizens change the world
Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has

Show your discontent

The notes to this track promise it’s unlike anything you've heard before.

And that’s very true.

You see the description blues-rock, and it sets certain expectations.

Add in psychedelic, and things shift, but I grew up in the era of Jefferson Airplane and the like therefore the style of this track should have been familiar, but it’s not.

It does more than deliver this, but it has its own take on what it is doing.

It’s rhythmic, but not rock. It’s plaintive, but not blues. The lyrics pull it back together.

The instrumental provide a cradle for the melody, but it’s a fluid cradle that can shift as the melody demands.

The crack of the digeridoo as it enters is stunning.

The lyrics are poetic, and describe the ambivalence of being torn between your roots and the life you are making for yourself.

I used to spend all my time tryna leave back then.
Now it takes all my strength to muster up the courage to leave again.

Can you stay? Can you go?

How can I fight when I’m running away
How can I run with twisted feet?

There’s universal themes in this song, but there is nothing universal about the story, it’s personal, and relatable.
