I Feel Space

This was a bit of a personal struggle. As a beginner cellist (1.5 years into playing) I decided to push the boundaries and perform the cello part of my piece myself. After many takes, a bit of post-processing and a lot of self-doubt this is the final result.
It‘s probably the most vulnerable piece of music I‘ve ever released and it was quite hard to let it go. So may it serve you well as consolation in times you need it and be shared among those who might need it.

Lyrics:
Revenge is for dreams, never reality
Humming from the window, or is that just me?
Here and existing
Existence, the dream of a god wracked with ennui

Refuse to be comforted
with conscription or mosque or desired holocaust
Kangaroos lack individuality
not me

With the grief I've gathered up in my arms
See the face of Laocöon and his two sons come to harm
Crushed by the snake for threatening to interfere
Sometimes the rivers shake 
Sometimes the skies are clear

Sometimes the fire burns, dry and plain
Sometimes the wood is cool and wet with rain
Suffer the heat like a cat on the three hottest days
of midsummer,
go back to the river
Though there may be a maze along the way

Curse and throw spit into the fire
Cast out the bad souls left in me
Apparitions are just cedar trees in the dark
Though the thought refuses to expire
Though I take this expensive piece of language with me

With everything to have and everything to give
Evidence for the coming universal wish not to live
The Hand reaches down to cradle and caress
The peace of mind of duress and unrest

The scent of a sweet song is on the midsummer air
The false and unjust with talons that tear
But the snare of the struggle 
       of the dream is ennui
Is the humming from the window?
        or is that just me?

Kangaroo Kourt

Another new track here in around a week. 

CINEMA SCOPE

I decided to take another stab at this song (went down a rabbit hole for about 10 hours and completely re-played and re-sang the song).  I struggled with the vocals on my original version so I changed the key to E which made it easier to sing.

Lyrics
In the planet of the ape’s movie in 1968
Astronauts crash landed on a planet that was in a sorry state
They stumbled across a society intelligent of apes who could speak
And there were humans, but they were mute and weak
They’d been asleep in their hibernation pods and 2006 years had elapsed
And somewhere during that time humanity had collapsed
And the astronauts didn’t realize they were on the planet where they’d been born as the apes hunted them and they hid in a field of corn
Just like Charlton Heston, we could be walking on that beach
To late to save our Lady Liberty, she’s been toppled sunk and breached
You maniacs you blew it up will we rant and rave like Chuck
Hope it’s not too late, who wants that monkey fate, hope we smarten up
I wonder what those apes are thinking as they’re sitting in their cages at the zoo
Are they biding their time, making plans for what they’re goanna do
Are they dreaming of the day when they’re on the other side of that glass wall
Are they patiently counting the minutes, waiting for humanities downfall
The apes killed one of the astronauts and they stuffed him and put him on display j
Just like trophy hunters do with animals today
The Astronaut named Taylor, he got shot in the throat
He was unable to talk, so he got a pen and showed the apes what he wrote
The apes realized he was intelligent, and it shook them to their core
And the forbidden zone was a place they weren’t supposed to explore
Taylor met a girl he named Nova, she couldn’t talk but she was pretty.
A couple of apes helped them escape to what used to be New York city
And they rode together on a horse on a beach that looked like the west coast
Until they found that statue and realized humanity was toast
Just like Charlton Heston, we could be walking on that beach
To late to save our Lady Liberty, she’s been toppled sunk and breached
You maniacs you blew it up will we rant and rave like Chuck
Hope it’s not too late, who wants that Monkey Fate, hope we smarten up
The planet of the ape’s is supposed to be science fiction
Let’s hope it doesn’t turn out to be an accurate depiction

Planet Of The Apes V 2.0

English lyrics :

Dedicated to the 'Magician' Girl
(Real Story)

One day, you went far away there 
It’s a new destiny for you
One day, Lya, you went there
Memory of your so sweet voice 

Spin, spin, your music box 
Yes, his power is magical 
Turn, turn, the ritournelle
Your notes, honey-tasting

One day, your love got lost
Heart that cries, notes moved 
Faded memories
Sick at heart, that’s life

Spin, spin, your music box 
Yes, his power is magical 
Turn, turn, the ritournelle
Your notes, honey-tasting

Spin, spin, your music box 
Overwhelms me with your angel voice
Overwhelm me with your angel voice...

Dédiée à la "Magicienne"

Un jour, tu es partie loin là bas 
C’est un nouveau destin pour toi
Un jour, Lya, tu es partie là bas
Souvenir de ta si douce voix 

Tourne, tourne, ta boîte à musique 
Oui, son pouvoir est magique 
Tourne, tourne, la ritournelle
Tes notes, au goût de miel

Un jour, ton amour s’est perdu
Cœur qui pleure, notes émues 
Souvenirs évanouis
Mal au cœur, c’est la vie

Tourne, tourne, ta boîte à musique 
Oui, son pouvoir est magique 
Tourne, tourne, la ritournelle
Tes notes, au goût de miel

Tourne, tourne, ta boîte à musique 
Me bouleverse ta voix d’ange
Me bouleverse ta voix d’ange…
