No More (Collab w Syntaleta-remastered)

The title "Ballad for Alma" reminded me of an episode in the Book of Mormon, where the son of a presiding high priest went among the people, telling them to disbelief his father. Here I imagined what could be the father thoughts, with a small meditation on the nature of hope, faith, and charity.

BALLAD FOR ALMA

No one wants to be alone,
either in bliss or sorrow.
Angels above invite.
Demons from hell entice.

In the great fight for the souls
you chose to disbelieve it all,
join the skeptics, praise  the world,
delighted to play with fire.

Still I hope you'll come back home.
Hope is belief and desire.
New hearts are given to some.
Beliefs are our choice alone.

And then there's faith.
Faith is more than wishfull thinking.
Faith is hope with revelation
from the subtle mighty voice
that can burn, but cannot lie.

Thus I trust that voice to warn you.
Then you'll see and then you'll cry.
From the deepness of despair,
in the dire and lonely night,
all will seem beyond repair.
But what I told you will come to mind.
And then you'll remember the name you should call,
and it's going to be allright.

There's no charity in darkness:
It's a feature of the light.
Demons from hell entice,
but love will always invite.

Transcontinental Virtual Jam Neno J. and J.J. Terrell

Centauri is the closest star system to our own Sun. The logical first place humans may go to someday traveling there much like the Mayflower ship. Escaping oppressions of one place to only, by humanity's design, create oppressions in a new land.  

Thank you Nenad for your generosity in making this happen!

In Solitude by Syntaleta/Collab version (Feat. Neno J. on electric guitars)

Although quite simple to record, it took me a few weeks to write down a text and sing it over this beautiful guitar piece from Neno J. I used the original title as an inspiration for the text.

Circle of Circles 

Planets move in the dome of stars in surprising ways.
Sometimes forward, sometimes backward  in the celestial orb.

Since perfect circles are the only way of gods,
Ptolemy used circles within circles 
to explain those planetary retrogressions.
That was such a powerful idea 
that Fourier would later use.
Indeed, any periodic smooth motion
can be described by a large enough set of epicycles.

And yet, it all became history, 
thanks to Copernic, Kepler and Newton.
The epicycles were cast out from heaven
by the Occam's razor curse.
And I'm trying to learn the sobering lesson:
Everything gets simpler 
when we don't place ourselves in the center.

Your perfect circles, woman, are the chosen shape of gods.
But will the Fast Fourier Transform ever explain your beauty?

I watch you move in this world of scars in surprising ways.
But what is forward and what is backward in this oblivious maze?

Circle Of Circles JFC (Over Neno J. Guitar Piece)

After listening to this incredible guitar piece, I instantly connected to it. I'm grateful for Nenad agreeing to let me collaborate. We hope you like it!

Lyrics

He thought he was invincible
She thought she was immune
Love it found them in the dark
It found them out too soon

Love was unavoidable
She said she didn't care
He hid his head beneath the sand
And it caught them unaware

When love unfolds
There's no control

A glance, a smile, a kiss, they found love, chased dreams, vowed to never let it die
A love so blind

A dream, a life of love, they held on, pulled through, always giving it a try
A state of mind

They fell on to hard times, they fell so so hard
They failed to see the signs, and they fell apert
Alone and on their knees
Their love had just deceased

Clinging to the love they knew
Fighting in despair
Love had taken everything
There was nothing left to share

Pain is unavoidable
The heart can feel old
Love takes a lifetime to be learnt
It's not a story quickly told

Quickly Told Story (Collab with Neno J)

The song is a message of hope and support for every Ukrainian man, woman and child.

Again, I connected to another one of Neno J's brilliant and emotional guitar pieces, which along with the title, inspired the theme and words of the song.

Original guitar and composition by Neno J. @user-442202241:

Writing and vocals by Dylan White

Lyrics
In the night sirens they cried
Like an echo from the past
A crime had begun
All peace had been undone
Tyranny we've seen it before
Good intentions faded fast
The hate was unveiled
So many lives betrayed
Their hearts are bleeding
But still they go on beating
There's no time for healing
As they fight on for freedom
They hid 'til silent respite
Then left behind their homes to save their children's lives
The echoes crash like the waves of a stormy sea
I know their precious lives will again be free like the echos of past
It was clear even back then
The reasons were all lies
And now just like before
Justice will end their war

Echoes of Past (Collab with Neno J)

Nenad Jović composed and played "Guitar Dialogue(Guitar solo)(https://soundcloud.com/user-442202241/guitar-dialogue?si=810f0e65b292499bb34b43defa269f4d&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing)," which struck me as beautiful. I love his soothing and soulful originals. I aligned a poem I had written with the tune and recorded it. Permission from him to make it public here was granted. Jović's music can be found at:  soundcloud.com/user-442202241. He is a brilliant guitarist and composer. Thank you for listening!

This song is about being stuck in an endless loop of working life, the realisation of never ending monotony, to finally working out how to handle it and the hope of escaping it.

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!

DÉCROISSANCE PERSONNELLE

Wonderful collab: Jano and the Electronix composed and played the music. He wrote the lyrics a while ago. This pearl was waiting to be found!   Melancholic Mood Verse 1: Dark clouds passing by, Grey days as time goes by. A drop falls, a deep sigh, In my soul, spinning high. Chorus: Melancholy in the rain, Tears blending with the dew. In this moment of silence, I find myself right here and true. Verse 2: Thoughts flying far and wide, Lost in my own world's tide. A smile faint, yet heavy as lead, In this rain, so cold it's spread. Chorus: Melancholy in the rain, Tears blending with the dew. In this moment of silence, I find myself right here and true. Bridge: The wind tells tales, Of times gone by, The melody of life, We can't always guide. Verse 3: Yet, at the core, a spark of light, A glimmer of hope in the night. Melancholy breaks its might, And a new day comes to light. Chorus: Melancholy in the rain, Tears blending with the dew. In this moment of silence, I find myself right here and true. Outro: The clouds move away, Making room for new rays. Melancholy in the rain, A moment, a silent ballet.

Melancholic Mood (collab jano and the Electronix)remastered

Ian, who has his soundcloudsite under the name Magician, creates a "wonderworld".
He made an instrumental sweet as sugar, all the way, with the name, "dreamland".
Ian allowed me to rework his song, now called: You used to rock me asleep.

I made lyrics about a break -up. 
The first half of the song, stands for the memory of the relationship considered to be comforting, sweet and golden. Because the decission is made by the other, the question rises: “why”?
Who’s fault is it. 
In this first half of the song the sweetness of the song, made by Ian, stays untouched.

In the second half, the sweet music lingers silently, on the background, and a darker
theme (made with my synthesizer) with a beat (made with my drumcomputer), takes over. Feelings of sadness and even anger take over. It was the one who decided to break up, and even doesn’t explain, who broke his promesses and turned his back. I tried this change of feel also to reflect in my voice.
Hope you enjoy!

You Used To Rock Me Asleep (collab Ian aka Magician)

Lost Souls (For three guitars & synth)

A time ago I discovered the soundcloud page of multi-genre composer, guitarist, keyboard & bass player Neno and his other proJect/page, Danen II (covers and support). 
I knew he sounds like he ‘s born with a guitar in his hands, but I discovered this cover (of Peter Hammill), where Neno sings! His voice at the same time fragile and strong, the lyrics deep emotional: I instantly liked it: his vision and mine in one combined! Enjoy.

Lyrics 

I have a vision of you, locked inside my head;
It creeps upon my mind and warms me in my bed
A vision shimering, shifting
Moving in false firelight;
A vision of a vision
Protecting me from fear at night

[Refrain]
As the seasons roll on, and my love stays strong

[Verse 2]
I don't know where you end, and where it is that I begin
I simply open my mind and the memories flood on in
I have a vision of you, locked inside my head;
It creeps upon my mind and warms me in my bed
A vision shimering, shifting
Moving in false firelight;
A vision of a vision
Protecting me from fear at night

[Verse 2]
I don't know where you end, and where it is that I begin
I simply open my mind and the memories flood on in
I remember waking up with your arms around me;
I remember losing myself
And finding that you'd found me

[Refrain]
As the seasons rolled on, and my love stayed strong

[Verse 3]
Be my child, be my lover, swallow me up in your fire-glow
Take my tongue, take my torment, take my hand and don't let go
Let me live in your life
For you make it all seem to matter
Let me die in your arms
So the vision may never shatter

VISION  collab  x NENO  (cover peter Hammill)

A time ago I discovered the soundcloud page of multi-genre composer, guitarist, keyboard & bass player Neno and his other project/page, Danen II (covers and support). His music is deep emotional. He sent to me his "in the clouds"... 

On my cloud (collab: music composed and played bij Neno)

When i put my hand on my heart, and i try to feel
I try to feel what i want, what i want
I feel nothing, nothing

I wanna know do i belong, do i belong, i feel nothing

When i am sitting with my music on my cloud my feet don’t touch the ground, 
when i’m sitting on my cloud
Surrounded surrounded with the sounds

on my cloud i’m perfectly happy, i feel nothing , i feel my music


I don’t want to climb mountains, i don’t have a bucketlist

I don’t wanna feel my body, don’t want to hear myself thinking
More and more i live on my cloud, it’s difficult to come back from my cloud.

James Webb Telescope Killed The Big Bang

I was fortunate to attend the International Health Institute conference in London last month and there were sessions run by a woman so passionate and committed to change to improve the delivery of healthcare to the masses and I thought her partner would be so proud . . .

Eccentricity so Beautiful

While life and limb can shatter          
It’s only hearts that matter - In our world - Darlin’ girl
You’re out there proselytizing.
And it’s so mesmerising - that’s your way – an ordinary day   

Something about you rising up      
Is cutting through my filling heart - it’s only love
On your soap box agent change
With so much to de-arrange - with a blast
            
Eccentricity so Beautiful (that’s you girl -it’s your world)

Those rank iconoclasts
Bathe in their master class - impervious - in Ivory towers
Talk as if they’ve got the plan
Line up and shake their hands - feel the grip - the hand of power

You’re raisin’ it from ground up
Changing at the speed of trust – with such feel 
Building leaders everywhere
Co-produce no limit skies – that’s our dream

Eccentricity so Beautiful (that’s you girl -it’s your world)

Exhausted but so energized - Trying to catch you in the eye - Need you close. 
I call you aphrodisiac - Hotel room take care of that – 
On that note

ECCENTRICITY SO BEAUTIFUL

I recently noticed a very talented musician with exceptional vocal abilities on Soundcloud. I liked her voice and I liked how she approaches different musical styles. So I thought how nicely her vocals would fit in my "Clouds". That's how the clouds got their angels.

When i put my hand on my heart, and i try to feel
I try to feel what i want, what i want
I feel nothing, nothing

I wanna know do i belong, do i belong, i feel nothing

When i am sitting with my music on my cloud my feet don’t touch the ground,
when i’m sitting on my cloud
Surrounded surrounded with the sounds

on my cloud i’m perfectly happy, i feel nothing , i feel my music

I don’t want to climb mountains, i don’t have a bucketlist

I don’t wanna feel my body, don’t want to hear myself thinking
More and more i live on my cloud, it’s difficult to come back from my cloud.

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

Back to You (I'll Find the Way)

Every time we break away
I feel blue,
just thinking of you

Can’t hide away
from the pain,
feel it night and day

Heart weighs heavy 
on my mind,
thoughts are unkind

So much trouble 
there to find,
I can’t unwind

Only one thing
on my mind,
silence on the line

Without you, 
I can’t rest
It’s meaningless

I feel so lonely I could die
Without you

In the dark my mind plays tricks on me 
you set me free

And when I call out your name
I feel eternity

Has it been a year or just a day
Time’s gone away
Time’s gone away
Time’s gone away

I’ll find the way
To get back to you

Wait there for me,
I’ll be there for you

I’ll find the way
To get back to you

I’ll find the way
To get back to you

I feel so lonely I could die
Without you

In the dark my mind plays tricks on me 
you set me free

Every time we break away
I feel blue,
Just thinking of you

Can’t hide away
From the pain
Feel it night and day

Without you, 
I can’t rest
It’s meaningless

I’ll find the way
To get back to you

Wait there for me,
I’ll be there for you

I’ll find the way
To get back to you

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)

My precious heart (collab Ian aka Magician)

I had some wonderfull collabs with Ian. The first song was: “Alive” and i just added in a sort of classic way of singing, my voice (i felt the need to screem it out, just the words I”m alive).
Soon  I made a changed version and added a beat,  and called it “Alive with a heartbeat”… I added my character and Ian was bighearted enough to let me change his creation.
Wow, If you know for an artist, your creations are your children…. Wow!

My precious heart refers to “Alive”. Little words, but the music begins with a little extract of Glinka…and glides over to the sweet, comforting music of Ians instrumental (Precious heart).
Then my ego interferres and the music gets wilder and excited, voice samples with mystical ambience pull and puches along with my voice the track back towards the calm and pleasing instrumental of Ian and Glinka at the end.
My message: my heart beats for many kinds of music. Everyone has  his own path to walk and look for his own style.

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

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

Polyglot’s Polysilence: lyrics scroll down    Remastered: Bandlab

With all that amazing music i discovered on soundcloud, i listened for hours and hours, without restriction, until my brain was cooking...
I discovered on the SC of Pieter Rotthier POLYGLOT, where he sings that he "keeps silent in any language"

https://soundcloud.com/pieter-rotthier/polyglot?in=pieter-rotthier/sets/quick-on-the-drawing-vocal&si=f65d9b1a103948ddba4e0ec91b4991b1&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

We all need some silence, but in the meantime, here's the result of our collab:

Polyglot’s Polysilence

Listen to the silence, it has so much to say  
 Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom  
I have learned silence from the talkative, toleraration from the intolerant and kindness from the unkind; yet strange i am ungrateful to those teachers 
Listen to the silence, it has so much to say  

Blij bang Boos of stapelzot vertel ik met kleine vlakken
Tragisch drama komisch lot, teken ik met gitaarklanken     
Papier krijt en Strijkorkesten 
vormen samen de achtergrond , laatste noten houtskool resten  en ’t verhaal wordt afgerond

Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom
Listen to the silence,  it has so much to say  

Noem me maar een polyglot want ik zwijg  in alle talen
Geef me maar dat Spreekverbod, het papier geeft jou verhalen
Noem me maar een polyglot want ik zwijg  in alle talen
 Geef me maar een spreekverbod 
De muziek kan mij vertalen               

Noem me maar een polyglot want ik zwijg in alle talen
Want ik zwijg in alle talen
het papier geeft jou verhalen
       
   ****
Listen to the silence it has so much to say
And if you ask me questions
Like what, where and why
I refuse to confess and i learned to deny

You  messed it up, the anwers you seek
You think you can force me to speak, 
There ’s more than meets the ear and eye. 
I never tell you what’s the truth 
And whats the  lie,
