This"No good to me" i made on synthesizer. It was waiting for an extra touch. Dave agreed to add his guitarlines He brought it to a higher level!

No Good To Me (collab with Dave Bayes)

I Was Made For Loving You (cover Kiss)

D'avoir mis son âme dans tes mains
Tu l'as froissé comme un chagrin
Et d'avoir condamné vos différences
Nous ne marcherons plus ensemble
Sa vie ne bat plus que d'une aile
Dansent les flammes, les bras se lèvent
Là où il va il fait un froid mortel
Si l'homme ne change de ciel pourtant, j'ai rêvé
J'ai rêvé qu'on pouvait s'aimer
Au souffle du vent
S'élevait l'âme, l'humanité
Son manteau de sang
J'irai cracher sur vos tombeaux
N'est pas le vrai, n'est pas le beau
J'ai rêvé qu'on pouvait s'aimer
À quoi bon abattre des murs
Pour y dresser des sépultures
À force d'ignorer la tolérance
Nous ne marcherons plus ensemble
Les anges sont las de nous veiller
Nous laissent comme un monde avorté
Suspendu pour l'éternité
Le monde comme une pendule qui s'est arrêtée
J'ai rêvé qu'on pouvait s'aimer
Au souffle du vent
S'élevait l'âme, l'humanité
Son manteau de sang
J'irai cracher sur vos tombeaux
N'est pas le vrai, n'est pas le beau
J'ai rêvé qu'on pouvait s'aimer
J'ai rêvé qu'on pouvait s'aimer
Au souffle du vent
S'élevait l'âme, l'humanité
Son manteau de sang
J'irai cracher sur vos tombeaux
N'est pas le vrai, n'est pas le beau
J'ai rêvé qu'on pouvait s'aimer
J'ai rêvé qu'on pouvait s'aimer
Au souffle du vent
S'élevait l'âme, l'humanité
Son manteau de sang
J'irai cracher sur vos tombeaux
N'est pas le vrai, n'est pas le beau
J'ai rêvé qu'on pouvait s'aimer
J'ai rêvé qu'on pouvait s'aimer
J'avais rêvé du mot aimer

Lyrics:  Obfuscated
Obfuscated, obfuscated
You make things unclear, You make things obscure,
Obfuscated, You confuse me
Obfuscated,  i’m perplexed how You make things complex, 
when you hide the truth when you bend the truth

obfuscated
web of lies, in disguise
it’s no surprise there are so many words
for all sorts of lies

Obfuscated,
What you hide from the light is concealing
Deliberate misleading is deceiving
beguile Deceit, mislead, cheat, make  believe

Obfuscated,
web of lies, in disguise
it’s no surprise there are so many words
for all sorts of lies

Put in the shadows out of the light
In the fog, there’s no clear sight
In dirty water, it’s dark, you don’t see me
The answer is foggy, the message is misty

Obfuscated     
web of lies, in disguise - web of lies, in disguise
it’s no surprise there are so many words
for all sorts of lies
Obfuscated     
duplicity
double identity,  who do I trust
one or  none

Let’s face it, you know it
With a good sauce, you will eat it
Let’s face it, you know it
With the right words, you’ll believe it
Let’s face it, you know it
With a nice story you’ll  Buy it
If you want to believe it 
you won’t fight it

Obfuscated (collab Paploviante)

Neno, is a multi-genre composer, guitarist, keyboard & bass player, and occasionally singer with a warm voicecolor. He has also another project/page, Danen II (covers and support). We worked in the recent past together, resulting in songs expressing deep emotional feeling.

The instrumental "Lost souls" cuts already deep in the heart.. The lyrics i found in the deepest well.

Lost souls

If nothing is your name
And love is just a game
If it’s in  the wrong direction
that you’re looking for connection,

And you reach out for acceptance
And you want to be seen
But no one seem to care and everyone is mean

If you’re longing for attention
And you’re screaming it out
But alone in the desert
No one hears your shout
And you’re talking with the devil
Corse he is the only one 
Who tries to figger out 
what you want

Sexobject is the project of Miami Jeff en lyrics made by Lillian Mareddy 
In my opinion the sound of the original is "retro", the videoclip is in American eyes risky, while in Europe it feels a bit 'vintage" in a good way. 

I surprised Jimmy with my spiced up vocalsounds (just a bit playing and having fun with changing the sounds) and he calls it futuristic... enjoy!

i had a preview of the new robot-video: so proud of

Songteksten cover  

If you, if you could return
Don't let it burn
Don't let it fade
I'm sure I'm not being rude
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart
It's ruining every day
I swore, I swore I would be true
And honey so did you
So why were you holding her hand?
Is that the way we stand?
Were you lying all the time?
Was it just a game to you?
But I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?
Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong, I was wrong
If you, if you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just want to be with you
And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?
And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?

This beautiful  instrumental made by Neno, from the beautiful Croatia, 
already got some attention... To know this beautiful guitarwork is to love it. 
His work deserves all the love of the world.

Neno, became a close soundcloud friend, no mater the distance... 

i wrote the lyrics and melody in Malta (my so called silence retraite), as some sort of message that little gestures can cause a big change. And that is close to the original meaning of the instrumental.

Thank you Neno for being a good friend! And to this lovely community: thank you for listening and cherish each other!

? Am i alone in the dark (collab Paploviante)

Let me know     
 
I have no idea how long i stared at the light
didn’t notice I was gone
and I had no idea how long
it took me to come back  
 didn’t know what was going on                  
i had no home, I felt so alone,

I walked my life in blindness, but now I see     
It feels like I’m reborn               
I never was a sheep but now i want a shepherd to show the way and shine his light on me
Someone to guide me
To hold my hand, to understand
             
Let me know, 

Perhaps, If i have to make some changes 
I know i’m not the easy kind
Please feel free to contact me 
I promise you to leave the past behind 
I break up with my monkey mind

Let me know

Ian (the Magician) has on his well known soundcloud page wonderful instrumentals. I already had the luck to work with him.
When I heard his track: "Lost" i wanted to ad lyrics to emphasis the "hope" i also heard. The title changed into "Lost or not?"

Lost or not (collab Magicien)

I look around me                      
But i don’t know where I am
The clock on the church says it’s 4 PM 
But i still don’t know   i still don’t know 
Where i am

 
       I am lost that’s what i am

the place i see, i have never seen    
in this  town i’ve never been    

  I am lost that’s what i am
lost that’s what i am i am
 
Suddenly a voice said  , have no fear 
You’r e  not  lost 
You’re where you want to be, 
You are here

lost or not (collab Magician)

Time is not a constant; it is relative and elastic. I tried to mimic the sound of elastic time. Is time forever flowing forward?  Can time bounce back like elastic?

Lyrics: Is time forever flowing forward?

Time is precious, 
So wisely  spend it 
but don’t waste  it 
You try to hold it, but can not keep it

Time is priceless
though everyone has it
More or less, 
Less or more
Be conscious where you use it for

Some people say that time is flying, 
For sure they’re short of time
They ’re not lying

And others get bored  and keep themselves busy, 
just killing time,  while waiting for something 
either too much  or just not enough, 
but never it’s just the correct amount of

Those who think they can manage their time, 
with tools and rules, 
unfortunate fools
they use tips and tricks 
but time still ticks
they don’t succeed, they’re only trying
to steal your time, you are not selling

          
Just stay away from time sheet papers
So said meant to controle the time
A time consuming way of telling, 
what you did  “never enough”
that’s the moment you start cheating 
Along with time the trust is gone

been there done that, Time sheet shit,
never again

Is time forever flowing forward?

Lyrics, vocal: Saskia Goethals

Krolser dan de krolste kat (lyrics)     collab Damga

Klagend, jammerend komt ze als een krolse kat de trap af. 
Keionrustig , kan niet slapen,  komt, zoekt en vindt je aandacht.
draait haar kopje en krullende wimpers kijken je vragend aan: kom dichterbij.

Ze ronkt, knort , porrrt, 
ze schart, ze krabt,

traduction
En se plaignant, en pleurnichant, elle descend les escaliers comme une chatte en chaleur.
Très agité, n'arrive pas à dormir, vient, cherche et trouve votre attention.
tourne la tête et les cils bouclés vous regardent d'un air interrogateur : approchez-vous.

Elle grogne, grogne, pique, gratte, gratte,

krolser dan de krolste kat (collab Damga)

This is a mix i made with the instrumental of Ilse Delange (karaoke on youtube): and the lyrics of her "i'm Not so tough" and Melissa Etheridge's "like the way i do." 
2 of my favorite singer-songwriters combined
To be clear: it is my voice you hear...

Mashup Not so tough-The way I do (Ilse Delange-Melissa Etheridge)

Cast of characters:

Saskiagoethals-- @saskiagoethals --Saskia — vocals, lyrics, and production
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – guitar, bass, beats, mix, production, and composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –- piano, organ, and composition

Josh wrote:
"This song started with Tez coming up with a heavy riddim and monster bass to go with it, over which he laid his clockwork rhythm guitar. He shared it with Josh, who came up with the piano and organ parts. It was pretty much done, but we wated vocals on it, so it languished on the digital shelf for almost half a year. 
  That is until Saskia heard and worked with Tez on a different open collab on his page. He then offered her this one. She downloaded it, added her superb vocals, and sent it back to the other two to review. They were blown away by her creativity and skill as a singer, and are very grateful to her for reviving the project. 
  When it was all laid down, Tez mixed it expertly, as always. Saskia took his mix, sped it up and adjusted her vocals, too. She is a very competent producer, as well.
  Tez and Josh are big dub fans from way back, and this is the latest in a couple year running series of collabs in the genre from the two of them. They are very grateful to Saskia for doing such a wonderful job of completing the song. Look for her in future collabs, both with Tez and Josh, as well as with their band, The Eclectic Collective. We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. "

I am both wonderful musicians very thankfull. This was real fun!

I have to mention that Josh made the awesome artworks! 

Lyrics by Saskiagoethals: 

I went to the love doctor
to shine his light on my loneliness
he promissed to fill the emptiness
cause
my love is gonne and since then i stayed alone
my bed is empty my feet are cold
and i don’t wanna feel already old
The love doctor said come with me
the night is young and so are we
So he kept his promise
And he warmed me with his kiss
inject me with your love
i don’ want my love back
i don’t want a quick fix i want my love doctor

This love doctor is fast (collab Llanpsych-Entheogenic Psychonaut-

Summer Fools

Two fools, you and me,
Summer fools
We believed
Summer love
We believe
That the summer
will last a lifetime
endlessly

Summer fools, you and me
Like a split second
Can last an eternity

The sunrays warm our face,
Seawaves washing up and down,
This paradise this place
It feels like time erased every trace of summer love

el tiempo borrará todo rastro de amor de verano

Cosmic pleasure (with Damga)

We are stars you and me
hot when we collide
Shining bright
emitting light 

lyrics: cosmic pleasure


hot hot  hot

Twinkle, twinkle, little star, 
How I wonder what you are! 
Up above the world so high, 
Like a diamond in the sky. 

Twinkle, twinkle, all the night. 

Then the traveler in the dark 
Thanks you for your tiny spark, 
How could he see where to go, 
If you did not twinkle so? 

In the dark blue sky you keep, 
Often through my curtains peep 
For you never shut your eye, 
Till the sun is in the sky. 

As your bright and tiny spark 
Lights the traveler in the dark, 
Though I know not what you are, 
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

Cosmic pleasure with Damga!

When i made this track I wanted my voice be the driving, pulsing force.

I hope you enjoy.

the song is about dangerous attraction, toxic relations

Lyrics: Toxic    
 
All my alarms went off the moment that i saw you
My inner voice said “stay away” he’s nothing for you,
But i like danger any way and i just couldn’t stay away
And now we’re lying on the floor,
I hear you say: “you’ll find the door”
Your weeping girlfriend in despair
I see our clothes are here and there
And my head spins round and round
While my feeth don’t touch the ground
 
And the next thing i remember
Is something i want to forget
I said i leave
You said not yet
 
All my alarms went off the moment that you said that
My inner voice said “run away”
I didn’t listen anyway
Cause there was poison in my veins
And you were messing with my brain

You're toxic

Toxic (collab KillaSoundBoy)

This heavenly instrumental (open collab) made by Remnant60 was a one-take accoustic track... Was it improvisation or the whisper of an angel?, certainly it was celestial... 
  
So i wanted to greet a top-woman, with one off the best known prayers: "Ave Maria".

Lyrics

Ave Maria, gratia plena, Maria, gratia plena, Maria, gratia plena, Ave, Ave, Dominus, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus, Et benedictus fructus ventris (tui), Ventris tui, Jesus. Ave Maria!

Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,
Ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
Ora, ora pro nobis;
Ora, ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
Nunc et in hora mortis,
In hora mortis nostrae.
In hora, hora mortis nostrae,
In hora mortis nostrae.

Lyrics No way out

Sometimes your life is a horrorgame, scary and jumpy 
You want to escape but there’s no way out
Are you caught in a complex web of romance, power and corruption
You want to escape but there’s no way out
Your life is a trap

No way out (KillaSoundBoy music- Saskia vocals/lyrics and magical flute)

I rediscovered my electric piano; made some layers of instruments...on a beat...
The lyrics are the poem "We Wear the Mask"  from Paul Laurence Dunbar).
The cover-art is made by Carlotta.

Lyrics/poem
We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.

Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
       We wear the mask.

We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise
We wear the mask!

We wear the mask  (poem Paul Laurence Dunbar)

Inspired by the  letter from Albert Einstein to his daughter   (Universal Force of Love)

Love is… (lyrics)

Love is gravity, love is a
Force that unfolds and reveals; 
Love is gravity, love is light

Love is gravity, 
it makes some people feel attracted. 

Love is gravity  power, Love force
unfolds and reveals
Love is day and night

Love is gravity

I made this track on my old electronic piano - programmed rhythm: Acid Jazz. I experimented by here and there making a part double of the recorded rhythm and change the pitch of the drum... in that double.

As usual i used effects on my voice and layered ...(sorry i can't help doing that haha).

Very simple lyrics,  but bottom line: we are living so fast that we don't notice it's going bad with the people around us, or even with ourselves.... 
We ask polite: "Are you OK?" but never want to hear "it's not OK?"
In this sick society we can have an important role to play to make a difference for someone.

Lyrics 
Not OK...


Are you OK

Nobody will know, nobody will see
You're not OK

NO Way
Did you notice, she is
Did you notice that she's not
She's not OK

Not OK...

I love the KSB sound. This instrumental inspired me to make the lyrics and songline, and i "gave it a bit of a new wave techno"-vibe.

I'm an outlaw- Lyrics

Maybe it’s true I’m wild and hard to control
And maybe it’s because
I have an untamable soul
I’m always on the run
I stay out of the sun, out of the sun, out out
Out of the light, out out
I’m an outlaw

I have to hide
An Outlaw
Yes Sir, Yes Mam,
That’s what I am
I am an outlaw

I’m under a ban
I’m under restriction
The law no longer offers me protection

Banned, barred, prohibitted, forbidden, Fugitive, Veto, embargo, outcast

Outlaw (KillaSoundBoy-Saskia)

What a night

Lyrics: Mag ik dan bij jou (cover Claudia de Breij)

Als de oorlog komt, En als ik dan moet schuilen, Mag ik dan bij jou?
Als er een clubje komt, Waar ik niet bij wil horen,Mag ik dan bij jou?
Als er een regel komt, Waar ik niet aan voldoen kan, Mag ik dan bij jou? En als ik iets moet zijn, Wat ik nooit geweest ben Mag ik dan bij jou?

(chorus)  Mag ik dan bij jou schuilen, Als het nergens anders kan? En als ik moet huilen, Droog jij m'n tranen dan? Want als ik bij jou mag, Mag jij altijd bij mij Kom wanneer je wilt,Ik hou een kamer voor je vrij
Als het onweer komt, En als ik dan bang ben, Mag ik dan bij jou? Als de avond valt, En 't is mij te donker, Mag ik dan bij jou? ls de lente komt, En als ik dan verliefd ben, Mag ik dan bij jou? Als de liefde komt, En ik weet het zeker, Mag ik dan bij jou?
(chorus)  Mag ik dan bij jou schuilen, Als het nergens anders kan? En als ik moet huilen, Droog jij m'n tranen dan? Want als ik bij jou mag, Mag jij altijd bij mij Kom wanneer je wilt,Ik hou een kamer voor je vrij
 
Als het einde komt, En als ik dan bang ben, Mag ik dan bij jou? Als het einde komt, En als ik dan alleen ben, Mag ik dan bij jou?

Translation: When the war comes, And if I have to hide; Can I come to you then? If there is a club, That I don't want to belong to, Can I come to you then? If there is a rule, Which I cannot comply with, Can I come to you then?And if I have to be something, Which I've never been, Can I come to you then? Can I take shelter with you then? If it can't be done anywhere else? And if I have to cry; Will you dry my tears then? 
Chorus;
Because if I can be with you, You can always be with me  Come whenever you want, I'll save a room for you, When the storm comesAnd when I'm scared; Can I come to you then?
When night falls, And it's too dark for me, Can I come to you then? When spring comes, And when I'm in love, Can I come to you then? When love comes, And I'm sure, Can I come to you then? Can I take shelter with you then? If it can't be done anywhere else?And if I have to cry Will you dry my tears then?
Chorus;  Because if I can be with you,…L.
When the end comes, And when I'm scared, Can I come to you then? When the end comes
And when I'm alone Can I come to you then?
