Baby I Love You - Reggae Dub Radio Edit

Rising Rouge

This is a remix of the Keldari Station original, (https://keldaristation.bandcamp.com/track/moving-forward-looking-back-single-mix) I kept the bass, keyboards and samples and 3D added some new vocals to fit the groove setup by:-
Pete (MidiPunk https://soundcloud.com/midipunk) drums
Jorg (https://soundcloud.com/joerxworx) on soprano Sax 
Bitzone (https://soundcloud.com/bitzone) on additional percussion, processing and keyboards
Me (https://soundcloud.com/russell-sinfield) on bleeding hours of fiddly fun, mixing and mastering, which is why 3D graciously let me post this remix to my profile, however you will also see a link to the Bandcamp page where this track is for sale and all proceeds going to the continued effort to pay for the Keldari Station synth bay upgrade, pay what you want, the sky's the limit ;-)

Lyrics by Keldari Station
"this time 
let's open up our minds 
and who we find 
could be ourselves 
and if we recognize 
the lies 
the ties that bind us 
simply melt 
maybe 
the answers that we seek 
really are closer 
than we think 
a look inside 
with our own eyes 
is realized 
within a blink 

moving forward 
while looking back 
how can we be moving forward 
if we're looking back 

If we deny 
the things inside 
we try to hide 
or cause us fear 
you can believe 
that we'll succeed 
at only drawing 
these things near 
we can't transcend 
if we pretend 
that which we run from 
isn't real 
such false sincerity 
can only be 
a mask 
for how we feel 

moving forward 
while looking back 
how can we be moving forward 
if we're looking back"

MAKE IT MEAN

And the bricks are all wet
The sand is damp and 
We smell of work
Our dirty hands 
Have built a castle
Hid our dream 
But they hang on every word
Yet we are no-one

The sky is full of clouds
The wind is radio hot and
You and I can run
To the river
Your skin is fingerprint free
Dreams are momentary
They will see us walk 
Past the tower

She always thought she’d break
She always said she’d shake
The walls on the outside 
The bars on the inside
She always thought she’d break

And we don’t count
But we are counted
Our steps are followed
Our hearts recorded
We’ll shine on the inside
Look dull in the eye
Slow on the stare
Quick on the glance

Their fingers stroke devices
Reality’s in crisis
They will see us talk
In the shadows

She always thought she’d break
She always said she’d shake
The walls on the outside 
The bars on the inside
She always thought she’d break

The sky is full of clouds
The wind is radio hot and
You and I can run
To the river
But you could make it mean
More than a movie scene
They will see us look
Right through them 
And we can make it seem
More than a dying scream
They will see us kiss
Forever

Tripping The Caracole

Randall buys a telescope. Night falls and he points it upward: he sees a giant eye, staring directly at him. The next morning he wakes up covered in eyes. He's unsettled.

I Am Still U (Parts I-II)

A moment of quiet reflection...  after so much loss over the last few months.

Lost Souls Elegy

Love
your bones
lift the skies up
on your own

Oh do your best to breathe in
hold tight
well if you walk on water
I can hold the tide

When you live in a world of black and white
When you live in a world of black and white

You could turn the sky grey blue
know not what the things you do
May the silent screams be gone

When you see the world in black and white
When you live in a world of black and white

You can pick me up again
I'll won't break
All my insides 
falling into place
All your truths be told

You can clear the Scottish rain
not today
oh my light my guide
scream rainbow stains
All your greys are gold
All your greys are gold

Life in black and white

Lyrics

What about salvation?
(Asking for a friend)
Is it too late to learn guitar?
(Asking for a friend)
What about reincarnation?
(Asking for a friend)

Is New York already safe?
(Asking for a friend)
Has the debate taught us anything?
(Asking for a friend)
Can crises be averted?
(Asking for a friend)

Can I get myself into new Zealand?
(Asking for a friend)
Can one get oneself tested?
(Asking for a friend)
Is love still a proposition?
(Asking for a friend)

The title was taken from a tweet by Sean Ono Lennon, when he 'asked for a friend' (#askingforafriend) if it is possible to get a resident permit in New Zealand.

Asking For A Friend (Less Perc mix)

Round and round the endless road, repetition overload, 
The circus of life
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?

Blinkered and bound
More lost than found
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?
Perpetual game, conceptual shame
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?

Collective mass amnesia, wilful anaesthesia
Fire and furious reaction
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?
The actors and the faces change, storylines remain the same
Blame it on the scapegoat faction
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?

Blinkered and bound
More lost than found
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?
Perpetual game, conceptual shame
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?

None So Blind

Here there is the occasional song produced in Live using Push and a variety of loops and instruments, mainly guitar based but anything goes, I like lots of different musical styles. 

Below is a link to my jamming and guitar orientated profile, The Exestencilists where you will find the weirdness. 

I like to seek out and listen to mainly original tracks rather than covers, finding it interesting what people in different parts of the world are up too, there is a lot of good stuff out there, some of it weird and wonderful or often both ;-)

I Like what I like.
