Sailed Away

Immerse yourself in the pulsating rhythms of "Holiday Dreams," a synthwave track that transports you to a neon-lit dreamscape. This track is a sonic journey, blending nostalgic 80s synths with modern electronic elements. The melody, like a wave on a digital ocean, ebbs and flows, creating an atmosphere of relaxation and euphoria.

HOLIDAY DREAMS

Blades Of Winter

Featuring Cylindrical Rhythmia from Jeryia J.  Enjoy

Cylindrical Rhythmia

This song is inspired by George Orwell's book Coming up for Air. Suppose I ought to go and read it.

Coming Up For Air

Taken from the upcoming debut full length album (planned to be released March 1st - "Rock and Roll Kills").

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

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

Dingo Ate My Baby

This is a song on which I sing and play pedal steel guitar.  The song is based on a poem by my late aunt:  Pat Brandstetter.  Here is here original poem:

Riding Along
(1994)

Riding along in the car,
Beauty abounds
Wherever you are.
A kaleidoscope of trees 
Tall and green,
A patchwork of 
Lakes large and serene.
The animals look so strong 
And proud from afar.
All this beauty you take in
Riding along in a car.

A new bossa nova tune for a summer that's slipping away too fast .......

Ordinary Daydreams

How far have i gone 
What is this road i’m on
That leads so far from home

Are you here with me now, 
Now that i need you, No, 
i lost you long ago

And I’m barely hanging on 
I need to find the way today
And darling, I miss you so
just give me a sign and lead the way

If it’s the last thing i do I’m coming home to you
back where i belong
I’ll find the way No matter what it takes
down this road so long
You don’t know what’s here till it's gone

In some other life, Or maybe a distant dream,
that i don’t quite recall
But I close my eyes, and i’m there it seems
where you and I had it all

The sound of the children play
And the dogs out in the yard  
The fragrant flowers bloom away
It all seems so near and yet so far

If It's The Last Thing I Do

To Higher Ground

When I heard the truth,
I began to shake
My legs gave way,
all I could do
was tremble and wait
Now I stand,
unafraid and awake
Waiting for
the day of the Lord

If trees don’t bloom,
no fruit on the vine,
crops disappear,
and there is no wine
Flocks are cut off,
herds gone from their stalls
What shall we do
when we’ve lost it all?

I will thank the Lord, He saves,
giving me the strength to carry on
Making my feet swift as deer,
To higher ground He leads on

The Lord is in 
His holy place
Let all the earth 
seek His holy face
For all the earth
filled with glory be,
as the waters
cover the sea

I will thank the Lord, He saves,
giving me the strength to carry on
Making my feet swift as deer,
to higher ground He leads on

If anyone wishes to come after Him, 
deny the self, take up the cross and follow Him. 
For whoever wishes to save their life will lose it;
But whoever loses their life for His sake will find it. 

For what does it profit to gain the whole world and
lose your soul? Or what will you give in exchange
for your soul?

For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory
of His Father with His angels, and will then repay 
every one according to their deeds

Turn The Tap

Slo Burn (but Getting Faster)

Mark says,
"Making music with Rodolfo is always exciting and often a challenge, although I know we both find it stimulating, as we always aim to reach high and this post is no exception. This new song, started its gestation almost a year ago, instantly showed a lot of promise and since has been through many stages of exploration and rounds of problem-solving. The painfully blunt lyrics were initially inspired by a friend's brutal relationship break-up, but the final result is much heavier. I hope you find it moving rather than disturbing, I was trying to match the mood of Rod's deeply dramatic music."

Rodolfo says,
"I think it's a fantastic song and you've done an amazing job on both the story and the vocals, especially those tough lines. When I was writing it, I just felt like a modern blues with a techno vibe was taking shape. The final sound was defined by the story and those really dramatic, emotional lyrics. You might want to make it clear that it's a fictional story to avoid giving our friends heart attacks."

We appreciate all of the kind support that the Soundcloud community has given our collaborations. Thanks for listening and sharing your thoughts, Mark and Rodolfo

Moments of stress,
How did you deal with the rest?
All that is left of you and me,
Is wrecked.
How can we expect,
To go on when there’s nothing at all left?
 
…Left in the lurch,
You should have done more research.
I was truly never a safe bet for you…
For you could have made,
A much better match than you did with me.
 
Open your eyes,
I promise you won’t be surprised,
It’s been there before you,
All along, all of the way…
…Way before you had sensed,
That we had got it all so wrong by then.
 
Moments of stress,
All such a mess,
It’s anyone’s guess,
How it all went so wrong?
Moments of stress,
No more nor less,
Need I express,
How it all went so wrong?

I care little for your gold, when my gold is the wind and the sun over the wheat fields.

Poco me importa tu oro, cuando el mío es el viento y el sol sobre los trigales.

lyrics:
Hear my body scream, hear my soul is weak, i can't control anymore
i tried to set it free, i tried to tame this freak, but it's up to self control

and i will never learn and trust is hard to earn
as i lose my self again...

Bright lights calling me, neon life sets me free and i am right here to stay
The sun rise up again and i still understand the dues we have to pay

As I Lose My Self Again

Dynamic dialog between voice and guitar (one-shot recorded), over a very syncopated rhythm. Epic words and guitar solos, showing some rock background.

Dinámico diálogo entre voz y guitarra (todavía grabado del tirón) sobre un ritmo muy sincopado. Toques épicos en letra y solos de guitarra, dejando entrever entrañas de rock.

Lyrics/Letra:

Ya queda poco, ya queda poco,
poco para regresar. 
Ya queda poco, ya queda poco,
sólo una semana más.

Una historia que contar,
un secuestro a voluntad,
una meta que cumplir,
el orgullo de mamá.

Ya queda poco, ya queda poco,
poco para regresar. 
Ya queda poco, ya queda poco,
sólo una semana más.

Cuántas horas sin dormir,
sin salir y sin soñar
¿Qué ha venido a hacer aquí
el orgullo de mamá?

Ya queda poco (El orgullo de mamá)
