MORE CONTRAPTIONS LIKE A TRANQUIL GANGES

This is what I come up with wheni have access to cool beats. BandLab allowed me to make a beat, then I added everything else. I had a LOT of fun creating this one!

“I wanted to write a riff Rock song and this track landed. “All Night” is full of what I love in a Rock song - a riff, a groove and a hooky chorus.” 

A Rock Song about being hunted and wanting to be found - “All Night”

I'm feeling emotions
I'm seeing your ghost
It keeps me up all night
You're beautiful and you haunt me still and I like it

All night I'm waiting for you
All night I'm waiting for you
You've got me howling at the moon
(Ooh ooh, ooh ooh)
I don't want to k, keep you waiting
(Ooh ooh, ooh ooh)
No, I don't want to k, keep

I can feel your heart
Burn it up for me
My eyes are square from the TV
Come stay with me
Yes, come stay with me

All Night

Hands

I'm very pleased to get to work with Karl's music yet again as we have collaborated on many projects together. When I first heard 'Haust' (Icelandic for Autumn), I was haunted by the richness of the bowed sound and the grinding industrial textures that spoke to me about the extreme environment in Iceland (https://soundcloud.com/sesar/haust). I asked Karl if I could contribute and a few weeks later I'm proud to present our 8th collaboration.

What was grey becomes black, 
That sinking feeling, 
As darkness falls, 
Dark falls.  

Dawn's late, later still, 
That sinking feeling, 
As darkness falls, 
Dark falls.  

Grey to black as darkness falls.

Darkness Falls by Sesar & Mark J Bennett

Contraptions

We are very happy to present today a great singer and songwriter, as well as a sensational musician and producer named Richard Gonfrier. With him we have had a great musical connection that has been transformed into this wonderful pop song called "Just Tell Me More".
From MTM we are very grateful to Richard, his girlfriend Delphine for making the cover, the great work done, how professional he has been and what a wonderful person that despite the distance we have intuited at all times that he is.
We are nobody to say it, but I hope that Richard can allow us to express that ... surely a person very close to him and who has recently left for another wonderful place, will be listening to him with great pride.

Lyrics:
Mechi - Tranquilita
Si pa mi lo quiero yo solita
No estoy pa’ jugar, ser tu mistress
Sino nos vimo’ hasta la vista
Y me voy tra tra tra tranquillita

Tra tra tra tranquillita
Sigo tra tra tra tranquillita
Tra tra tra tranquillita
Chillin tra tra tra

Que a mi me respetas yo soy una estrella
Pa mi y pa las mias tragos y botellas

Me han buscado toa la vida
que no ves
que no ves
Yo reparto vitamina
pa tener pa tener
En la cama y si me rinde pa después
en el piso y luego contra la pared

Si pa mi lo quiero yo solita
No estoy pa’ jugar, ser tu mistress
Sino nos vimo’ hasta la vista
Y me voy tra tra tra tranquillita

Tra tra tra tranquillita
Sigo tra tra tra tranquillita
Tra tra tra tranquillita
Chillin tra tra tra

Que no ves yo no ando buscando dinero
Money la tengo toa la vista eso no es lo que quiero
Ey
Primero, Déjame mostrarte lo que quiero

Tra tra tra tranquillita
Sigo tra tra tra tranquillita
Tra tra tra tranquillita
Chillin tra tra tra

My friend, indie songwriter/lyricist Edwin H. Balder, sent me these lyrics as a Christmas gift late last year. He encouraged me as I was recovering from a major health blow & surgery. Now it is Ed's turn. He's having some health struggles yet continues to write. We want to encourage him. 12 Below and I hoped to surprise him with music set to his lyrics. 

Ed, we are all rooting for you--prayers, positive vibes, and healing music your way!! Thank you for inspiring so many of us. @edwin-balder

Passages

Passages (Featuring lyrics by Edwin H. Balder)

Not far from Jena, in Thuringia, there is small village hidden in the forest, a valley away from through roads. It’s called Tautenburg, this year it celebrates its 800 th anniversary.

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) spent his summer retreat there in 1882, walking, writing on „Die fröhliche Wissenschaft“ (translated as "The Gay Science",  „The Joyful Wisdom“ or „The Joyous Science“).
And awaiting the arrival of Lou Andreas-Salomé (1861-1937), a widely travelled Russian writer, narrator, essayist and psychoanalyst.
 
The refrain quotes a short poem he wrote to her. (translation mainly by machine)

The picture shows: View of church tower and castle spire of Tautenburg.

A Big Thank You to Zeralda for playing these wonderful keys and rhythm section.

Waiting For Lou

1
The old trees
Not so many as there used to be
The castle spire
The church tower
The old vicarage
A hand on the wrist
Distant chainsaws shriek
Did not always exist
Is that something that I missed ?

ref
„No longer back ? 
And not up there ?
No path 
For the chamois either ?
So I wait here 
And hold fast, 
What eyes and hands 
Let me grasp
Five feet of earth, 
Dawn
And below me - 
World, man and death“

Now I sit here 
Now I sit here…

Is there another path ?
Is there another path ?

2
The view axis
The early morning dew
The birds singing
The strained breath
And the rest on the bench
The bustling activities
The longings
The desires
Unspoken (2)

ref + out
„No longer back ? 
And not up there ?
No path 
For the chamois either ?
So I wait here 
And hold fast, 
What eyes and hands 
Let me grasp
Five feet of earth, 
Dawn
And below me - 
World, man and death“

Now I sit here 
Waiting for Lou to appear (2)

Is there another track ?
Will Lou be coming back ?

Waiting For Lou (collab wt Zeralda)

C'mon Bruce
You're stuck in a rut
Do Paris, do Rome
Gotta get off your butt
You only got one life
Gotta see Rio
Climb Kilimanjaro
Ski Lake Tahoe

But I don't wanna go
So leave me alone
I'll keep my lazy ass closer to home
No thank you man
I got a better plan
And I'm gonna be just fine
    *****************
On South Padre, or St. Simon's,
Any beach will do,
In the islands, Caribbean,
'long as I'm with you.

Breakfast At The Beach

lyrics:-
We're going back in time
Through the looking glass
To another paradigm
Before our History was cast

We're going back to our hidden past
The one they called
Tartaria , Tartaria

Danseurs (final draft)

May I be able to make a normal song to all tastes? This rock ballad was my best opportunity, though I had to prog it a bit... well, please tell me.

Pic taken by myself at a beach near my hometown, a cloudy morning about two weeks ago.

Letra  /  Lyrics

El sol está quieto (…)  /  The Sun is still (…)

Hace mucho tiempo que el sol está quieto.  /  Since a long time ago the Sun is still.
Lo quieto del sol da lugar al invierno.  /  Stillness of the Sun originates the winter.
Invierno que expresa su frío con viento.  /  Winter which expresses its coldness with wind.
El viento en la playa moja mi cuerpo.  /  The wind at the beach wets my body.

Mi cuerpo mojado sufre en silencio.  /  My wet body suffers silently.
Silencio que siempre me trae recuerdos.  /  Silence which always brings me memories.
Recuerdos que se agrupan en pensamientos.  /  Memories which get grouped in thoughts.
Pensamientos que pronto parecen deseos.  /  Thoughts which soon seem to be desires.

Deseos que te tienen a ti en el centro.  /  Desires which have you in the middle.
Tú en el centro pero yo más lejos.  /  You in the middle but me further away.
Lejos de todo lo que llamamos nuestro.  /  Far from everything we call ours.
Nuestro pasado es ahora lo primero.  /  Our past is now the first thing.

Primero de todo te echaré de menos.  /  First of all I will miss you.
Menos de un día ya se me hace eterno.  /  Less than one day already feels eternal to me.
Eterno fue el día en que decidí no vernos, más.  /  Eternal was the day when I decided not to meet, more.
Mas, vernos me hace salir de este infierno.  /  But, us meeting helps me get rid of this hell.

Infierno que pronto cambiaré por el cielo.  /  Hell which soon I will change for heaven.
Cielo que sólo tú puedes tenerlo.  /  Heaven which only you can own.
Tenerlo contigo es lo que más quiero.  /  To own it with you is what I want the most.
Quiero estar contigo en alma y cuerpo.  /  I want to be with you in soul and body.

Mi cuerpo mojado, en la playa hace viento.  /  My wet body, at the beach it is windy.
Viento que expresa el frío del invierno.  /  Wind which expresses the coldness of the winter.
Invierno debido a que el sol está quieto.  /  Winter due to the Sun being still.
El sol está quieto hace mucho tiempo.  /  The Sun is still since a long time ago.
