Face The Fight

I worked on this theme a few years ago, but imagining and producing a different result and atmosphere (https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/the-statue-removal). Today things have changed a bit, and going back to that music I thought it was necessary to eliminate the final vocalisms (too cheerful) and make the atmosphere darker.

On 23 October 1956 two hundred thousand Hungarians took to the streets of Budapest to express solidarity with the Poles and their recent political changes. Among the things they demanded was the removal of the statue of Stalin, erected in Városliget, the city's main park.
The revolutionaries demolished the statue, leaving only its boots, on which they planted a Hungarian flag.
On the following events, which are well known, there is no need to return here.

The statue's removal (final draft) **

This Sound Society 

The first release under this name with me and Mike Fox and as we often invite other artists to collaborate with us we were thought it would be better to have a working collective name. 
Then we could list the individuals who contributed  in behind the track instead of loads of names on the covers. 
A song about one way relationships and the effects it leaves.
You try and nothing changes so you are done by the third verse. 
Hope you enjoy .

Sofa Surfing ( Brownie & Fox)

V1
Can we try try & fix this
It’s diy a diy relationship 
Can we take it take it somewhere 
Instead of going, going  nowhere 

Chorus 
Cause you and me, 
Are not meant to be 
Your love  is like I’m  sofa surfing 
Sofa surfing 

V2
It moves from one place to the next 
Never knowing what is for the best
I get feeling something is reeling 
I would like a duvet day your never around to stay 

Chorus 

V3
Its your friends again sleeping on my sofa 
Im running around like a personal chauffeur
So I’m calling it a day now I’ve had my say
I’m Protecting myself from you & my mental health 

Chorus to finish

Sofa Surfing ~ This Sound Society

A song about an artist who has received so many compliments by people who were just trying to sell him something that he has become jaded.

Lyrics:

Sarah, Sarah, with your big brown lovely eyes
Sending me DMs, you caught me by surprise
But I've got my doubts, it's hard to know
Is that really you, or are you putting on a show?

(Oh, Sarah, Sarah, what's your game?)

Oh, Sarah, Sarah, what's your game?
Is that your face, is that your name?
You flatter me  but I'm not sold
I've seen it  before and it's gettin' old

Flattery and charm, you've got it down
But I'm no rockstar here,  just a guy making sounds
You say you dig my tracks, but I honestly suspect
You may be a schemer, just trying to collect

(Oh, Sarah, Sarah, what's your game?)

Oh, Sarah, Sarah, what's your game?
Is that your face, is that your name?
You flatter me  but I'm not sold
I've seen it  before and it's gettin' old

Bridge:
Sarah, Sarah, with your big brown eyes
I'm not falling for it, much as you may try
I'll keep making music, from the heart
No need for schemes, I'll make it on my art

So farewell, Sarah, with your big brown eyes
I'm onto you, no matter your disguise
I'll keep on strumming,  humming my own tunes
No time for your games, I've better things to do

(Oh Sarah, Sarah, with your big brown eyes...)

Oh, Sarah, Sarah

ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US
ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US
ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US
ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US 
ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US
ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US

Sometimes you just need a Planet. One to start afresh, to realign your soul, to breathe and begin and create from a blank page. What would you put on it? What would you keep? What would you delete? What would you hear, smell, see, feel? How would you know it was now precisely to your liking, created from the depths of your hearts desire?
