Hope you enjoy! Blessings to all!

Spring Arrival

38_ Rework Your Love - 1st release at MMJ 10 January 2023 (re-release at SoundCloud 17 Sept. 2023)

My very own rework to an untopable 90s raving Trance Pop anthem "Your Love" by Mark'Oh vs. John Davies! #trance #techno #edm

(produced with Music Maker JAM)

Rework Your Love

Piece inspired by romanticism in the city: love within concrete walls, poetry beneath artificial light...

Three vocal parts (translated lyrics below) became in very different moods in the songwriter phase, so I couldn't fit them in the same tempo. Working hard on transitions, I got the following solution:

Intro: ad libitum
A: 6/4 & 5/4 at 147bpm
B: 4/4 at 220bpm
C: 4/4 at 293bpm

Such ABC pattern is repeated twice, structured with some city scenes, and 2nd 'C' part includes a guitar soloing lesson by https://soundcloud.com/paco-ray, old friend of mine, technical consultor and personal luthier ;)

Pic: edited photo taken from home studio window where I recorded some city sounds for the track.

LETRA / LYRICS:

DAS VIDA A MI CIUDAD      /      YOU GIVE LIFE TO MY CITY

En la ciudad donde vivo,     /   In the city where I live,
llena de romanticismo,       /   full of romanticism,
el cariño que has perdido    /   the affection you have lost,
ven a buscarlo conmigo.      /   come to look for it with me.

Las farolas en la acera,    /    The lamps along the sidewalk,
con su fija alternativa,    /    with their constant alternation,
iluminan, no iluminan,      /    illuminate, do not illuminate,
el escenario de mi vida.     /   the stage of my life.

Entre bloques de hormigón,   /   Among blocks of concrete,
somos capaces de pedir perdón. / we are able to apologize.
Entre bloques de hormigón,   /   Among blocks of concrete,
somos capaces de sentir amor. /  we are able to feel love.

Caminando sobre asfalto,   /     Walking on asphalt,
abrazado a tu cadera,     /      held on your hip,
entre coches aparcados,     /    amid parked cars,
duerme la ciudad entera.    /    the entire city sleeps.

Eres tú toda la vida      /      You are all the life
que esta ciudad necesita,   /    that this city needs,
compartiendo cada esquina,   /   sharing every corner,
calles de melancolía...     /    streets of melancholy...

Entre bloques de hormigón,   /   Among blocks of concrete,
somos capaces de pedir perdón. / we are able to apologize.
Entre bloques de hormigón,   /   Among blocks of concrete,
somos capaces de sentir amor.  / we are able to feel love.

lyrics:
We've been through a lot, a lot of shit
now it's time to fight, fight against
against this depression and evil vibe
this is the time we will take over our lives

We've been submersed deep deep down
we've lost our faith into this evil town
we have to get back, get back to our own feet
we had enough, enough with this shit!

and now we have our head up high
we know what it's true and never dies
and now we step up with god's command
we won't take it anymore, not get stuck into the sand

It won't take forever just to reach our dream
it won't take forever to delete the bad scene
it won't take forever to hold your hand
it won't take forever to the promised land

it won't take forever to live again
it won't take forever to face the sun
it won't take forever, it won't take forever!

Rock and Roll Kills

It Won't Take Forever

we listen to our music and stare at the silver screen
that’s where we got all our wisdom
but we haven’t learned a lesson yet,
no we haven’t learned a lesson yet oh no, oh no

records and concerts and flowers and dope
love-ins and blue jeans and politics and hope
meditation yoga and non pollutant soap, oh yeah
it all loses meaning when you’re crazy and broke
it all loses meaning when your crazy and broke oh no

it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
oh yes i swear now that i’m aware now
oh yes i swear now i say a prayer now

we listen to our music glued to the colored sets
we pretend that we don’t care at all
but we haven’t learned a lesson yet,
no we haven’t learned a lesson yet oh no, oh no

communes and stereos and women’s rights,
it all loses meaning in the new moonlight
dance in the clubs to the lazer lights oh yeah
it's all or nothing, which one is right
its all or nothing, which one is right oh no

it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
oh yes i swear now that i’m aware now
oh yes i swear now i say a prayer

Harmony laden lyrical acoustic rhythmic soul

Between Abstraction and Representation

You don’t know which way to stand
Is the light favorable?
Or is black now passe
I guess it’s all debatable

I’m trailing in your scent
You’re LA then New York
Ghosting like the Zephyr Train
Making sure you walk the walk
You’re caught there in between abstraction and representation
They watch you in between abstraction and representation

Though you deny you seek to impress
It’s other women for whom you get dressed
In and out of the closet you float
Strapping and weave – girdle and hose

Delaunay or Cassatt?
Hey honey bring it all back
Home . . . 

I could be jealously mad
Seeing all that attention you grab
But bedroom’s night is painting your curves
And only I will get to observe

Between Abstraction and Representation

59_ Hey, Mando… This is my Way! - released on 25 May 2024

I’m so fascinated by the original title "The Mandalorian" by Ludwig Göransson from my favourite Star Wars series! #classic #electronic

Hey, Mando… This is my Way!

Recently I discovered the soundcloudpage of Paul, named Paploviante and friends.
who generously offers beautiful music.

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)

Thanks Paul for this wonderful music. I hope my lyrics and voice do it honour!

Lyrics: Why? 

ieieieiei

The voyeur in me, Stares secretly
What’s meant to hide, Belongs to me
Nothing escapes, That gaze of me
It penetrates your fantasy
The shame you feel, Feel secretly
The joy you feel, Belongs to me

You can ask yourself why
What did you hope to find
When you digged into my mind
What did you expect 

You changed my smile into a cry
You don’t give a fuck, As long as you smile 
As long as you laugh, As long as you smile 
As long as you laugh, You don’t give a shit
About my cry
								
Ieieiei
My brain, a maze, you entered it, My thoughts wild jumping,
I asked for it, You like to touch
I was aware, Still feel the squeezes
Feel them there
Your kitchen table
A mess was it
You cleaned it, but I won’t forget
The voyeur and toucher
How they met

You can ask yourself why
It’s your road and yours alone
I just may walk it with you
But no one can walk it for  you 
It’s your own road and yours alone

Why? ( collab Paploviante Instrumental//Saskia: lyrics+vocals)

Another relic from the lockdown vault...

I wrote and recorded this at the end of 2020 (hence no mention of the events of Jan 6th 2021) but never released it at the time for various reasons. 

Given recent events I thought why not clean it up and put it out. 

Just a bit of haaahmless fun as Arnie might say :)

State of confusion  lyrics

I went to a doctor because i hear things  that aren’t there
My mind wanders mentally
I hope you take this seriously

Perception deceiving
Perception  Not believing

I’m hearing voices
That no one else hears
The sound ’s so frightening me
Because   i know they aren’t real

Perception deceiving
Perception  Not believing

So doctor you must help me
To chase this voices and visions away

Tell me this hallucinations are only  temporarally

I  feel things moving under my skin
Imagine the state wher” I’m in
State of confusion, depression hallucination
confusion, depression hallucination

(In layers: lyrics all together)

State Of Confusion (collab Paploviante)

"Lotus grow only in wetlands and thus symbolize the idea of ​​rising from ugliness and unrest." "The lotus is considered a symbol of purity and transcendence, as well as spiritual purification and liberation".

Lotus (For three guitars)

The summer solstice, a radiant jewel in the cosmic dance, is a sacred celebration of light and life. As the Earth tilts its northern hemisphere closest to the sun, we bask in the longest day of the year, a time when the sun's rays touch our hearts with the deepest warmth. This celestial event marks a peak of solar energy, a moment of unparalleled illumination that ignites our spirits and aligns our souls with the universe's boundless energy.

In this moment of celestial alignment, we embrace the interconnectedness of all beings, the unity of our planet, and the boundless potential within us. The summer solstice is a time to celebrate life in its fullest expression, to honor the sun, and to step forward, radiant and renewed, into the next phase of our journey.

When I was a child, I often went mountain climbing with my grandfather. My grandfather was a very strong man. I looked back on those memories and released them as a composition here, calling it an adventure. Thank you for listening.

My grandfather was born in June of 1925. He has already passed away, but this year marks the 100th anniversary of his birth!

Spinning Out Into The Cosmos With DJ Gruff

I've long admired Native Instruments and their exquisite collection of choirs and orchestras. This song features a free-to-use offer from Native Instruments called Jacob Collier-audience-choir. Imagine conducting the audience! I did, and as soon as I heard this I knew I had to use it in a piece of music. Keith obliged with a tale suited to the big choir/stomp I wanted to use. 

Ominous. Threatening. Uncertain....and fun to construct.

The tune is free-to-download from  Wigmore Allen Gibbons - track four from our 2024 collection called Spittle and Spite - https://www.terrywigmore.com/wigmore-allen-gibbons

Lyrics:
Comes the Reckoning
I hear you can talk the face off a penny
Still you confound me with your idiomatic dialogue
Whoa…oh…oh…oh…oh
Come the reckoning
I see you play with the big boys now
Know when to be mean, when they give it away
You walk on books and keep your Picasso in the sh*t house
Useless information, you just flush away
Whoa…oh…oh…oh…oh
Now comes the reckoning
You’ve gotta bleed, to make those rats feed
The wolves will circle anyway
You gotta look hard for that perfect arrangement
I saw it once and it disturbed me… so
Here comes the reckoning
Here comes the reckoning
Here comes the reckoning
Here comes the reckoning

Invisible  lyrics

I still exist
But I am changed 
I’m no longer who I used to be
You look at me but don’t see me
Invisible
I’m just like glass

And now and then
You hurt yourself
We clash and crash, don’t notice me
I wished there was a softer me
A pitie, I’m as hard as glass

and still I’m useful
cause I protect
against the Wind 
against the Rain
I wished there was a warmer me
but touch me
 I’m as cold as glass

If i could choose I liked to be
The person who I used to be
Sweet and gentle as mothersmilk
Hot as the sun
As soft as silk
