METAL INK

SIMEON
(Scat) Oh Metal Ink!

Metal Ink 
That's the stuff we're drinking
Half oil
Half charity
Half who knows what?
But that's the stuff we're drinking
To stay alive
No survive
Delicious tweaking metalness
Trickling down my rusted pipes
Organic decaying to so much less

Oh Metal Ink
That's the stuff we're drinking
Half oil
Half charity
That's the stuff we're drinking
(Scat)
Oh Metal Ink!

But have you seen my sweet Lucinda?
Black hair or was it brown?
Hell if I can remember it now!
Just so high 
High as the sky 
Burned red as blood
Will I touch your silken face again, Innocent One?

I found your doll
Under that wall
On the horrific Tuesday morning
That horrific morning
What a Tuesday mourning!

What a Tuesday mourning!

Want some ink?
What do you think?
I'm just having a drink
A swig
A taste of life again!
Down the throat and into the zone

(Scat) Metal Ink

Mother and Son Wedding Song (World Goes Round and Round)  				Lyrics/Music Sabrina Peña Young

V1
Little boys in Space Monster PJs
Red firetrucks and cars lining the hall
Sounds of laughter and “Momma” 
Though many springs, winters, and falls

TURN
And the world goes round and round
Oh the world goes round and round
Yeah the world goes round and round
Oh the world goes round and round

CHORUS
Standing here on your wedding day
From a boy to a man, my baby
Holding your dreams and hopes so close
And your wife closer still
As the clock ticks time away

V2
Passing years melting 
Memories away
Yet some days I wish for my baby boy 
Some days I wish for the forgotten falls

CHORUS
Standing here on your wedding day
From a boy to a man, my baby
Holding your dreams and hopes so close
And your wife closer still
As the clock ticks time away

And the world goes round and round
Oh the world goes round and round
Yeah the world goes round and round
Oh the world goes round and round

CHORUS
Standing here on your wedding day
From a boy to a man, my baby
Holding your dreams and hopes so close
And your wife closer still
As the clock ticks time away

Just tick tock and the time…it just melts away.

Mother & Son Wedding Song (World Goes Round and Round)

Lonely Mother's Cry - Lullaby from Libertaria: The Virtual Opera. 

LONELY MOTHER'S CRY

THE NURSE
I will never leave you
Or toss you away
Give up on you
Tell lies to you
Or ever say I won't stay
(Humming)


Lonely Mother's Cry - Lullaby from Libertaria: The Virtual Opera

Vocal test track. In this quick ruff vocal take sung by the composer, Alicia's dying abuela sings to her granddaughter.

ABUELA:
FATE HAS DECIDED IT'S TIME FOR ME TO GO
AND THOUGH I WOULD NOT WISH TO LEAVE YOU FOR THE WORLD
MY SWEET GRANDCHILD
THAT'S HOW DESTINY WORKS
WHEN YOU GIVE ALL OF YOUR HEART
IT WEARS YOUR BODY DOWN
UNTIL SOMEDAY
SOMEDAY SOON, MY CHILD,
THE HEAVENS OPEN UP AND YOUR SOUL ASCENDS
AWAY FROM THOSE YOU LOVE
BUT YOUR MEMORIES NEVER END
I WILL PRAY WATCH FOR YOU
UNTIL WE ARE TOGETHER AGAIN



Alicia and the White Rabbit, Ruff Vocal Take

female:pressure has launched an awareness and solidarity campaign for the cantons of #Rojava (located in northern Syria), where women participate on all levels of decision making and building a new society from scratch, with built-in social, racial and ethnic justice, religious freedom, ecological principles and gender equality.

With a series of music, media and sound art to listen, dance and fight to, we would like to send our love and strength to these women and spread a positive message in support of their efforts.

INVISIBLE STRINGS
Trying to understand what these women have gone through is difficult for a Westerner who has had all the trappings of a plush American life. Yet, there are many circumstances that are unique to women, the chief among them is motherhood. Invisible Strings is an attempt to bring to sound art the emotions, loss, and experiences of motherhood lost, something that joins more women than we would care to discuss, as an attempt to support these women who join together to fight an enemy and protect their families. 

WORDS - Invisible Strings
2016 Sabrina Pena Young
How can you miss a laugh you have never heard?
Or shed tears before saying hello?
How can you miss someone you never laid eyes on?
Or long to embrace a small stranger?
How could a difference of a few weeks tear apart your soul?
Or the tiniest of unseen beings change your path forever?
Invisible strings, cut by the Fates
Before a single breath was made
Lost to our world forever
Were your eyes brown like mine?
Did you have my smile?
Would you have loved music or art or words?
Millions of missing footprints
And yours was one of them, My Child.

Dedicated to the lost children of our world and Baby Y.

Imagine if you will our talented morning hosts transported back into time, to a parallel universe, where Blade Runner is a reality and 80s sci-fi theme music rules. Bouncing around in outer space, maybe Mars or the Moon, or maybe Europa, in bedazzled astronaut suits complete neon lights, our heroes share the latest news with the multiverse each morning. At least until the evil Zorganauts engulf all space and time for breakfast. But until then, the show must go on!
