Funky Chameleon Trousers feat Tea R.Sea & The Japanese Gang

To the Sky by Keri Johnson

All those cold and lonely nights
traded the moon for city lights
left the world behind in search to find

That castle in the sky
a dream brought to life
there's magic when your heart is open wide

Some people push it to the limit- take it to the sky,
the sky

Some people get it- well before their time
their time

Some watch the rain from inside
some step outside- any kind of weather to feel alive

If you're afraid to try
you never know what lies- beyond your fear there's beauty on the other side

Keri Johnson's Album

To the Sky

Gleeful Power

This is an urgent song 
I wrote it after watching some documents from the association 'Expedition 7eme continent' 

C'est une chanson urgente 
Je l'ai écrite en regardant des documents de l'association 'Expédition 7eme continent'

(traduit plus bas)

Deep inside it lies
Yet, it's out of sight
But you'd never guess its size
'Cause, it's out of sight

Under the waves now

Oceans weep, their yarns untold
Our future is sold
A tiny plastic weaves a tale
Our ship is in hell

Yet, it's out of sight

Underwater sense
All these particles in a toxic trance
Despair or Esperance
Nature that calls for a second chance
Will we still finance
The show, undersea, of a deadly dance

Under the waves now

Oceans weep, their yarns untold
Our future is sold
A tiny plastic weaves a tale
Our ship is in hell
A nano plastic ruined the game
Our life won't be the same

We'll cry this plastic age
And we find it strange, how huge is this change
The water cycle, then
Will send back again, this plague to the men
Deep down inside our throats
All those tiny boats, will convey the notes
For a dark new score
Then we'll say "no more !", and we'll pray

Oceans weep for their disease
But I, but I can't breathe
A tiny plastic weaves a tale
Our ship is in hell
This nano plastic will ruin the game
And Life won't be the same


-----
Au fond profondemment, cela git
Pourtant c'est à l'abri des regards
Mais vous ne devineriez jamais sa taille
Car c'est à l'abri des regards

Sous les vagues maintenant

Les océans pleurent, leurs histoires ne sont pas racontées
Notre avenir est vendu
Un minuscule plastique tisse une histoire
Notre navire est en enfer

Pourtant c'est à l'abri des regards

Sensation sous-marines
Toutes ces particules en transe toxique
Désespoir ou espérance
La nature demande une seconde chance
Financerons-nous encore
Le spectacle sous les mers d'une danse mortelle

Sous les vagues maintenant

Les océans pleurent, leurs histoires ne sont pas racontées
Notre avenir est vendu
Un minuscule plastique tisse une histoire
Notre navire est en enfer
Un nano plastique a ruiné le jeu
Notre vie ne sera plus la même

Nous pleurerons cet âge de plastique
Et nous trouverons étrange l'ampleur de ce changement
Le cycle de l'eau, alors
Renverra de nouveau ce fléau aux hommes
Au fond de nos gorges
Tous ces petits bateaux, transmettront les notes
D'une sombre nouvelle partition 
Alors nous dirons "plus jamais ça !", et nous prierons

Les océans pleurent leur maladie
Mais moi, mais je ne peux plus respirer
Un plastique minuscule tisse une histoire
Notre navire est en enfer
Ce nano plastique va ruiner le jeu
Et la vie ne sera plus la même

Plastic Age

We all go thru times where we need a boost, here was a pep-talk I wrote myself when I felt like life had popped me pretty good on the chin. Hope you find some encouragement in it as well.

War of the World (Eve of destruction) by ARGYTACT 2026

War of the World (Eve of destruction)

Autoroute 666

Composed by: Joan Manuel Serrat: https://www.ouvirmusica.com.br/joan-manuel-serrat/511067/
Version, Arrangements & Production by: Chivicke HomeStudio

A toda orquesta

Autumn Ballad (Orchestral - cover-version - Joan Manuel Serrat )

I was interested in music in my early youth... so I soon got my first synthesizer and set up a small home recording studio.
over the years i played keyboards in 5 bands...the direction was rock...pop...blues and soul.
in the meantime i have discovered my enthusiasm for creating my own songs.
it makes me happy when I can compose...arrange...mix...produce and create something new.
it's like a passion to experiment with different styles of music... and it gives me a lot of joy.
the only limit is your imagination...
is my motto.
and everything is possible...you just have to try.

music is pure magic...and part of the soul...
no one can escape her
let the music guide your mind...and that's the only way you'll get the freedom...you've always wanted

Gleeful Power
