THE VALUE OF LOST THINGS

The beat of the heart

A couple of weeks ago my good friend Graham Lavallin (https://soundcloud.com/lavallin) asked me if I would consider writing some lyrics and maybe doing the vocals, to some original pieces of music he had put together, all of which were dealing with human consciousness and metaphysical themes. One of these, ‘Lost Lake of Souls’ suggested to me a kind of Irish Folk meets Peter Gabriel feel, I was instantly smitten and my head filled with the ideas contained here almost before the song finished playing that first time. The next day I had most of the lyrics. Graham gave me some more suggestions, which I incorporated into the final song.

My instinct said that a powerful, passionate arrangement needed to carry an equally important subject. Graham had briefly mentioned to me his 97 year old mother who is in a care home and suffers the condition of dementia and I asked him if he felt alright about Alzheimer’s Disease (a form of dementia) as the theme of the song and if I changed the title to ‘Lake Of Lost Souls’. Sadly nowadays, almost everyone, including myself, knows or has known someone who has lost something of their identity and so much of their dignity to this terrible disease. I hope this song strikes a chord and it is intended with respect to be cathartic and therapeutic. 

As always I’m very grateful to Graham for his imagination, skill and patience but on this collaboration he enabled me to write something of a very personal nature. If you have time please show your appreciation on Graham's cloud, https://soundcloud.com/lavallin/lake-of-lost-souls-lavallin-mark-j-bennett 
We are both aware that this song demands much of the listener and we just hope that it may touch others in the same way that this song has moved both of us and hopefully draw attention to the plight of those affected.

I mourned you this morning,
Though you’re not yet gone,
This hand I am holding,
Used to belong,
To the one closest to my heart,
Distant now, forever drifting
On the lake of lost souls

Comfort and peace,
Sweet release.

Between two worlds 
Now is time to let go
Is but a fleeting domain,
Your spirit will always be free.
Now is time to let go
Between two worlds

Comfort and peace…
Distant now, forever drifting
Comfort and peace…
On the lake of lost souls

Distant now, forever drifting
Comfort and peace…
On the lake of lost souls
Comfort and peace…

I mourned you this morning,
Though you’re not yet gone,
This hand I am holding,
Used to belong,
To the one closest to my heart

Being originally a very short & simple song I wrote about a traumatic event (translated lyrics below), I have been working separately on verses and refrain, then trying new ways to combine and glue them.

So, aware of changing moods along, most with tambourine in hands ;)

Letra / Lyrics:

MI ALBORNOZ HA DESAPARECIDO  /  MY BATHROBE HAS DISAPPEARED

¿Quién sabe a dónde ha ido?  /  Who knows where it has gone?
¿Quién estará conmigo  /  Who will be with me
las noches en que tenga frío?  /  the nights when I feel cold?

Mi albornoz ha desaparecido.  /  My bathrobe has disappeared.

Después de lo que hemos vivido,  /  After all that we lived,
¿quién sabe porqué se ha ido?  /  who knows why it has gone away?
Dios sabe cuánto le he querido…  /  God knows how much I have loved it …

Mi albornoz ha desaparecido.  /  My bathrobe has disappeared.

Mi Albornoz (Ha desaparecido)

This work is a strong epic orchestral track that represents a leap in my production quality. Rising from a soft, melodic intro, it moves through a series of dramatic, action-packed sections before coming to an interesting, ethereal outro to finish it off.

Metanoia: (psychology), the process of experiencing a psychotic "breakdown" and subsequent, positive psychological re-building or "healing"

________________
oh sweet friend
you wanna know the truth
I’m so tired of the world 
and all the news
the places people go
they’re crazy in their heads
it’s everywhere,
and I’m just too confused

I’ll swim until I’m sane
until I’m far away
I’ll bleed into the ocean
I’ll melt into the sky
I’ll bleed into the earth
and then I’ll be gone
at peace

oh don’t ask why
I really wanna live
I really wanna die
I’ll crawl into the ocean
I’ll bleed into the sky
until I’m far away
I’ll swim until I’m sane
I’ll find another way
that no one ever sees
where no one ever goes
and it’s all light

Metanoia

To Welcome Summer, here is a Cool Hot & Cheerful, Relaxing & Boosting Track. It has been made in 2014(was on my Special Cecilia SC page, but as i am not on Pro anymore, it doesn't show) I feel it will be nice to bring it back on line for people to enjoy.

I forget who made the original music, I did modulate it my own way :)

SUMMER TIME Chill Out

======= Lyrics ========
will this hurt bad
i just feel sad
make me so mad
shit is a fad
your face i hit
this is so shit
the mask it rips
show your true self
broke down need help
fight through the pain
look at your shame
in hell burn flame
------
------
take this lost life
come on just die
cut skin blue lips
should of just quit
dead eyes no pain
paid price fuck fame
one way straight down
don't look a frown
be big not small
one choice you fall
it has got you
where it wants you
-----------------
Say a bunch of shit to make me mad
i swear i had enough you're fucking sad
your lame fucked up inside your head
you don't know what the fuck i really said
get it right before you talk more shit
it's ok you're just a little dumb bitch
-----
Face your deepest dark down fear
i know it's getting really ever clear
i say the same thing constantly
cause you don't get it through your thick skull
time to fucking ball time to  go
you ain't got no one you don't have a soul
--------
--------
Hang your head in disgust
there is no one that you can trust
there's nothing to make it ok
there is no one in your way
It's so sad the way 
the pills have got me feeling
oh yeah bitch you'll crawl the ceiling

Hell yeah the drugs have got me real high
down low i don't really wanna die
So long you worthless fucking piece of shit
i know you're just a fucking hypocrite
fuck this i think i'm gonna do it now
oh yeah see you down in the ground

A Stormy Time

I still remember when I heard "Smells Like Teen Spirit" for the first time. I actually saw the music video on MTV in the middle of the night. "What a weird video!" is what I thought. (Sports/Club/College culture is very different in Germany lol). But the music blew my mind. 
At that time I was a singer in a Stoner Rock band, while recording Pop tunes for my solo project. This song was just a perfect fusion of my two worlds. 
Here is my take on it. It's song number 4 on my EP "My Own Crazy". 
The original is perfect, so I did not seek to copy it. My goal was to reimagine it within my own style. My wonderful friend Bettina plays the saxophone on the song, which gives it just what it needs, I think. 
With the lights out, it's less dangerous … Thank you, Nirvana! Let me know what you think!

Load up on guns, bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey

I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey

And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it's hard to find
Oh well, whatever, never mind

Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial, a denial
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial
