Mid chill

Fuga a tres voces para violín, viola y violonchelo

This concept is an old cotton factory coming back to life for a few moments. I hope the music captures this in the same way for you.

Disused Cotton Factory

Big picture wise, it’s a hip hop beat with spaghetti western elements. So hence, the trip hop tag cos’ Soundcloud likes to judge genres based on beats. 
I used a minMaj7 chord for the first time in preparation for my Bond theme I will be attempting next year. Daunting, I know. Over the MinMa77 chord I used gypsy minor or double harmonic minor or whatever you wanna call it. Then, mixolydian over the Dom 7. After the spaghetti western intro, I do a borrowed chord on the 4th degree in the second verse. Then again, for the bridge. For the key change I used a diminished portal. If you make a Dom 7 chord a half step below any of the  notes of a diminished 7 chord it shares 3 common notes so it gives you 4 possible keys to go to. I picked the one with 1b cos it’s close to Am. Then another borrowed chord on the 4th degree of the scale. A lot of superimposition going on with the keys/strings. 
Production wise, the usual time it takes to produce a song is 12 hours. I went over that by 1 hour cos’ I had to learn how to play a bit of harmonica and bend with it. I didn’t know that you had to blow and suck. That’s what she said. I think the best parts of the string arrangements are the 2nd verse and the bridge where I just stopped trying to be Ennio Morricone and did…me. 
Mix wise, this is what Cassius would sound like had I let the pro mixers have their way. I think it’s cool/light/hipster. Not as warm as my demo mix. So maybe in the future I will put my foot down and go back to ‘just mix it like my demo.’ But, I think 75% of my vision was reached so that makes me satisfied. 
Lyrically, what we’re going for is dependent on how you’re feeling right now. So, if you’re unhappy you can imagine that we’re singing it to you. Especially the line ‘Need your pain to dissipate.’ And if you’re happy, then you imagine you’re singing it to someone else. 


I put my 6 string in it. Buried deep inside the sins of the foreign lands    (I guess I could be referring to 八国联军here）
And when I get down to it I’m gonna love you in all the ways that I can          
Back up for ya cry, need a place to sort out your life
Need your pain to dissipate, need the rain to sit and wait
I got this back porch shotgun sitting wisdom tooth (I set my brain on random and I like the contrast between a somewhat redneck shotgun scene and caviar)
On the rain soaked caviar of mortal loving dues 

Chorus:
Backing:Do you do you wanna try
Staring deep inside my eyes
And you’re never the pauper and you’re never the slave (I actually thought pauper meant beggar until after I recorded the song and looked it up)
And you’ve broken out of your rusty cage. (Soundgarden reference)
When the dust is gone and settled
Will ya be the one
To make the queen of angels sigh (Doors reference. I think what I’m going for is the opposite of you’re so vain. Because the person ought to say, “I’m not an angel. Nor am I the queen of angels.” And, that’s why it’s you. And if it’s a kid asking themselves the question. “Can I kick it? Will I be the one?” You know the answer. “Yes you can.”)

Verse 2

Back up, if you’ve only got the rain on your mind
Shut up, before you lose the innocence of life 
I’m only in it for the beauty, in it for the game, I do it for the simple beauty to keep my life sane     (“oh. And that’s why do we it. But mostly the money”. But when I sing that line I believe. “You think Ronnie Van Want would rather play free gigs instead of getting paid. “Mama told me to forget my lust for the rich man’s gold. But she also taught me not to be an idiot.”)
It’s overdone. (When the) silence is overcome. 
I got the spells son. Do you have it? I got the spells son. Do you have it? (Just me being amusing)
In your place son. Do you have it? Take my rage son. Do you have it?

Hell.  going up in flames
Until you say my name 
I’ve been looking, forward to those voices, that make me change 

Why. Must the blue skies fall
Need to hear your name 
Before the water douses us again.

Sigh

ALFONSO LLORENTE: LYRICS, VOCALS AND THE INSTRUMENTS


ON THE ROOF OF THE WORLD

Let´s forgive and forget
Let´s feel long on love
Let´s ride on our dreams
Let´s forgive our lives and be free

How long it takes to become a memory of love?
And cross the bridge to the market of dreams
How long it takes to forgive if you don´t forget?
While we sleep on the roof of the world

No more lives in shame

Sometimes you´ll fly
Sometimes you´ll sigh
While I catch you with a glimpse of my eyes
Sometimes you´ll hide
Sometimes you´ll smile
As you survive on the crossroad of life

How long it takes to solve the problem of life?
To leave our dreams in the market of dreams
While you wake up on the roof of the world

We play the game
With no aim
Pretending to be leaders
In a world of shame
When shall we understand that our aim is not the game?
When shall we perceive that our world is not a dream?
When shall we get off the roof of the world?

No more lives of shames

We play the game
With no aim
Pretending to be leaders
In a world of shame

We play the game
With no aim
Pretending to be leaders
In a world of shame

🎄✨ Reindeer Not brings Christmas magic to life with a sci-fi twist: an alien Rudolph finds his place in Earth's festive traditions. This track tells the story of a shapeshifting visitor spreading holiday cheer in the most unexpected way. 
And hey, if you’ve got eagle eyes, take a closer look at the round window of one of the houses in the distance… There’s an Easter egg hinting at the song coming out in a week. 👀🎅🚀 👀❄️📺

Lyrics:

Rudolph’s nose it glows so bright
But hey his eyes are green alright
He’s not from here from outer space
In Christmas cheer he found his place

Through the skies he flies so high
Not a reindeer but he sure can lie
His antlers shift his body morphs
With every gift he builds rapport

Alien Rudolph traipses the night
Spreading joy with sheer delight
Glowing red with twinkling charm
For Earth's Yule he means no harm

Santa's sleigh took flight with glee
But Rudolph's thoughts were cosmic spree
Fascinated by Earth’s own cheer
Alien heart held Christmas dear

From sugar plums to winter snow
The shapeshifter learned to let it show
In a facade of reindeer might
He found himself in festive light

Alien Rudolph traipses the night
Spreading joy with sheer delight
Glowing red with twinkling charm
For Earth's Yule he means no harm

Let it BE Xmas

Reindeer Not
