Hope you find this uplifting, Thanks for listening!

Show Me Love

Conquering and ruling cultures often oppress those they dominate. The oppressed, and those with less power, will always eventually seek justice, representation, and equal power from their subjugators. Those whose culture have been vilified, repressed, and appropriated can regain their power and love by learning about their past, choosing and identifying their cultural heroes for themselves, and restoring their appreciation and celebrations for their ancestors.  

May this song encourage an honest look into your past, acknowledging both the shadow and the light, appreciating the beauty of what was and is, and learning from accomplishments and mistakes to continue our evolution in becoming better co-creators with the planet.

I used some of a bass stem Alpha Roots sent me to make Red Earth Clay and I used the rest of the stem to make Sow Your Seeds. I have one unused bass and drum stem from Alpha Roots that I will make an old school hip hop song with and I may remix his original Hosanna bass stem one day to make a new reggae song. I may also ask Russ if I can make a version of Da Weed using Alpha Roots’ stems one day. After that, I may be complete unless I get gifted some Alpha Roots stems to play with. 

Huge thanks to Chiefo who set the original tone of this song which gave me inspiration for  the lyrics. Big ups to Fady, bit zone, and Lady of Fire Poetry for joining in on this project and adding their collective vibe. Massive thanks to Wou-Wou & the Wormling for keeping the track on skank with his rhythm guitar and for providing us with his incredible art work - commission him for some work y’all!!! And massive thanks to Russell and the Chaos Cookhouse for mixing and mastering these stems into the huge dubbed out joint that it is. Hit Russ up for his mixing and mastering services now!!!

Lyrics:

Know your roots and your culture 
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey 
Rock your roots and your culture 
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey 

Get to know your roots and your culture
Who you be now 
Know your history now 
So you can see now 
Where you wanna sow your seeds now 
Where you wanna sow your seeds now
Hey ey ey
Hey ey ey 

Gonna build on that which went before I 
Try and build on that which went before I 
Never knew who I was 
Dem try and control my 
Never knew who I was 
Dem try and control my
 Destiny with suppression and lies 
Deny that my ancestors were wise 
Revise my story with your wicked eyes  so others will despise 
And overlook the great civilizations that my people built 
Likewise likewise likewise

Unaware of history your destined to repeat it 
Only hear deceitful stories and we’re likely to concede to it 
Take away the leaders from our culture to unseat it 
Take away our dreams from our spirit to defeat it 
Replace dem with your poor role models and everyone believes in it 
Replace dem with your hopelessness and everyone perceives it 
But Jah lion shines bright in us and we only need to see it 
Jah lion is shining bright in us and all we need to do is reveal it

Sow Your Seeds

After our first collaboration - https://soundcloud.com/markjbennett/set-me-down-that-road-rplanesmjbennett - Rodolfo offered me a challenge in the form of a decades old song (in a folk/pop style, complete with tape hiss) that he was updating with a platform that is closer to R&B and my task was to come up with a new lyric. This original break-up song had an air of a happy ending to it, though initially I chose to write something less optimistic… however it became clear that with the new arrangement my words had to match the original mood. The added bonus to this is that I now have another break-up song lyric available for the future.
Singing a song that had already existed in another form meant that I had to find a very personal interpretation in order to make it truly mine. A huge thanks to Rodolfo for sharing his inspiring music with me.

I don't know what I've done wrong?
I don't know why you have gone?
Though I hope some day,
When I whisper your name,
We'll be together.
But today's too soon.
When I think of you, I dream.
Yet still, I'm a stranger,
Yet still, I'm a stranger in your heart.

Sometimes I feel like a fool.
Never knowing whether you'll,
Give me hope some day,
Still I call your name.
We'll be together.
Is today too soon?
When I think of you, I dream.
No longer a stranger,
No longer a stranger in your heart.

A Stranger In Your Heart (Rodolfo Planes/MarkJBennett)

IS THIS LOVE

For the 31st Solar Kama Sutra song I decided to challenge myself a bit and do something in 7/4 time.  I tried remembering a band I heard do that and thought, "Isn't Pink Floyd's "Money" in 7/4 time?"  I remembered hearing it and thinking it was...

...  Turns out it is!  So for that reason I thought of Pink Floyd, and tried to do a Pink Floydish sound.    It's also a nod to Radiohead's "Pyramid Song".  I tried to capture the same feeling that song gives me, but with Solar Kama Sutra this time. 
(by the way, Solar Kama Sutra has always been just one person.  It's just the name for what I call the music)

Since Radiohead already used "Pyramid" which is well-known since ancient Egypt to be the coolest shape, I had to go with something else.  "Sphere Song" and "Cube Song" ?...  Well...  Those song titles just aren't gonna work....   Maybe "Dodecahedron Song"?....  Hmm... That actually sounds pretty catchy...  Feel free to use it!  

 My vocals are used more heavily on this track than it seems.  Throughout the track I tried to make my vocals sound like guitars and other instruments

  And definitely hats off to Pink Floyd for making a hit song in a 7/4 time signature.   How many times has that been done before?!

And of course, hats off to Stonehenge.  The ultimate inspiration for this track

lastly, much respect & love for all of you who have dropped by once again

Marche ( Extrait )

Mary , Queen of Scots (8 December 1542 – 8 February 1587), also known as Mary Stuart, queen of Scotland (1542–67) and queen consort of France (1559–60). Her unwise marital and political actions provoked rebellion among the Scottish nobles, forcing her to flee to England, where she was eventually beheaded as a Roman Catholic threat to the English.
The scene to the soundtrack:
In the May sunshine, Mary and her 2nd husband Lord Darnley her cousin went to ride to the Scottish
woodlands.It all seemed like a dream, the wild ride, the strange smells and sounds.
They should have a race. Mary loved to ride and to ride fast. A horn sounded, it notes oddly out of
place where no hunters were.

Based on Wypernet's (Laurent) song, and with his permission, I've posted this to my page on SC. The song emerged as an exploration and exhortation. If you feel as though you are going through the motions of life, and it's understandable in the age of Covid 19, it's time to change things up. Where's the red pill from the Matrix? (is the red pill the vaccine? Or is it a mask that some people choose not to wear? Or are these just what gets us past the pandemic...then what?). The Red Pill may be the simple awareness of others' needs and thinking of others first. Self-less, rather than self-ish. Other -centered, not self-centered. Community rights, rather than individual rights.

Life is Precious

We are the walking dead
The zombies of the Apocalypse
We've forgotten who we are
And we're wandering aimlessly
The red pill remains on the shelf
The red pill remains on the shelf

We are the walking dead
Life is precious but we spend it wandering
Wasting time, we try to amuse ourselves
With the logic and  philosophy of  all that is self-indulgent

We are the walking dead
We are the walking dead

Instrumental

We are the walking dead
Zombies of the Apocalypse
We've forgotten who we are
And we're wandering aimlessly
The red pill remains on the shelf
The red pill remains on the shelf
The red pill remains on the shelf


The red pill remains on the shelf
Take it with you when you want to see
The world as it could really be
The red will reveal

We aren't the walking dead IF we see
We aren't the walking dead If we know
We aren't the walking dead IF we can change
What we chose to be

Life is precious don't you see
Life is precious eternally
Life is precious for ALL of us, 
Not just for me

Life is Precious 
Life is Precious 
Life is Precious 

Life is so very precious, to me
Life is so very precious, to me
Precious
Precious

Life Is Precious

I tried to warn you / Paploviante November 2020
Paploviante: Music, Picture, Mix and Mastering
Vocals and lyrics: Loraina from www.Ghosthack.de
Lyrics:
Please don't tell me
That you had it bad too
I dont give a rats
That you played me like a fool
I tried to warn you
I don't like these little games
Now just sit back
Watch as I set the world ablaze
One at time
I'll do my time
I will consent 
Because I did the crime
Ooh, i’m guilty
Of lovin you
I’m guilty
Of lovin you
I'm Just an alley cat
I slink by when I can
Even this pussy cat
Will crawl a high rise without plan
You were a predator at night
Tall dark and dangerous
lust at first sight
I tried to hold you
But you were gone by day’s light

I Tried To Warn You - Paploviante

Scorched Earth

I know how to blacken out the sun                   
I can make the air weigh heavy
My heartbeat smashes like a drum
You’ve had to learn to be ready

I’m forever not one to die wondering             
Gonna let you know when I see you bad
Cause my spirit does shudder and drain away
Just you having fun can make me crack

I nail you to a cross on fire                             
Blame you but it’s me who’s the liar
How long ‘til I put this scorched earth right       
                                                                                               
I put it on you you’re a sinner
But that’s a lie - a fabrication
My hang ups squirm inside a vice
What’s going to be my salvation?

Gotta face up to my growing up
A family life in a hideaway
I’s a little guy staring up at a roof
How come I never got to laugh and play

Yes I nail you to a cross on fire                              
Blame you but it’s me who’s the liar
How long ‘til I put this scorched earth right        

I got to lay it all out – got to apologise – love you – need you

AML - ft. Myrh

Beaten down by the coffin in the way
Butterfly drifting through the day
Never know how ever long its been
Colored in the lines and then begin
A tour that’s been called off for a while
Measuring the curtains without style
The forest leads you on and then turns grey
Better light the fire if you stay
And hours start to slip into the days
And you grew callous in your own malaise
Like no else mattered  so  depraved
Suck it up until you go away

So, you had to call it off
So, you had to call it off

Cancelled

Magdi Nabil - i don't Feel any more {Metal Power}-Party Buzz

【針時雨】

五月雨、浮かぶ月は
咬みちぎった果実の様な夜

肌刺す雨に濡れる
赤い夜、僕を染めゆく

ああ、穴だらけ

朧げ月夜に尖の雨が降る
突き刺さる雨が降る
雨が

針の雨、突き刺さる
針の雨、針時雨

突き刺さる、無数の視線
無数の言葉が矢となり僕を
突き刺す、刺す

針の雨、突き刺さる
針の雨、針時雨

針時雨【Needle Rain】

Track shows a very delicate theme and a quite hard-riffed part, both alternating and finally flowing up to an endless symphonic dream (words are half a poem I wrote previously (not these, but lyrics below)).

Letra  /  Translated lyrics:

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)  /  Don’t you wake up (Only a dream)

No... despierta... no... no despiertes  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up
no, cuidado... no despiertes, na na na na na...  /  no, take care ... don’t you wake up, na na na na na…
... despierta al fin y date cuenta  /  ... wake up at last and realize
de que todo ha sido un sueño, na na na na na...  /  everything has been a dream, na na na na na...

Una vez más, nervios y resentimiento,  /  Once again, nerves and resentment,
todo en mi vida es sueño, sólo ha sido eso.  /  everything in my life is a dream, it has only been so.

Y de nuevo, con el tiempo,  /  And again, with time,
incubando un nuevo sueño,  /  incubating a new dream,
me voy hundiendo en mis propios brazos,  /  I am sinking in my own arms,
me acuno, me canto y me voy acostumbrando...  /  cradle myself, sing to myself and get used...

Otro escenario, otros personajes,  /  Another stage, other characters,
la misma historia, na na na na na...  /  the same story, na na na na na...
que durará un día, un milenio,  /  which will last one day, a millenium,
toda mi vida, na na na na na...  /  all my life, na na na na na...

Pero sin duda vendrán a despertarme  /  But undoubtedly the laughs of people
las risas de la gente, alguna tarde.  /  will come to wake me up, any evening.

Y entonces, con miedo...  /  And then, fearfully...

No... despierta… no… no despiertes (…)  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up (…)

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)
