This is well done Reggaeton music. It is very unique and the vocals are exceptionally well done. As is the musical accompaniment.

w reggaeton track keep the good vibes up !

A first impression is always important. Is it really? Take your time to get to know someone. Always keep your mind open like your arms because you never know which opportunities could be there waiting for you and you let them slip away rushing in conclusions that might not be right. But always careful!

Open Arms

Lyrics

It’s a dark cave, and it swallows you up
Carribean waves, bold and seductive
Majestically they try to lure you
You’d like to go but they’d engulf you

“I want my peace”, is what he says with a grimace and frown 
His head bows down
“If it wouldn’t have been for you bastards I’d be long gone”

The sunlight can seem so cynical
It’s kindness you take as hypocritical 
Personally I’d like to avoid strife
But go ahead and make an opera of your life

All That I Had Coming

This song mixes the reggae sounds of the Caribbean with the dembow rhythms of Latin America, into the style that has become known as reggaeton.

Dom Reynolds:
“I had this idea of a melody in the talismanic style of Bob Marley, but with some modern, exotic, reggaeton rhythms behind it. The theme of the song came to me when I considered that there might be some people who would decry my singing in a style other than what they would expect of me, a white man living in England. I feel indignant about this - there really is one world that we all share. Consequently, our cultural influences are myriad and wonderful. The diversity of our cultural experiences is something to be celebrated rather than forbidden or frowned upon. This is not a song of ‘cultural appropriation’, but creative celebration. WE ARE ALL FROM ONE TRIBE, and our culture is a melting pot, a gumbo. 

“The reference to the ‘white duke’ relates to something I read about David Bowie from the 1970s, during his ‘white duke’ phase, in which he proclaimed in an interview that he had a lot of 'sympathy' for fascism. Racism and the National Front were at their ugly height in England, and Bowie was photographed seemingly pulling a ‘Sieg Heil’, Nazi salute to fans in London. I was appalled by this (especially as Bowie is a musical hero of mine). I grew up in the 1980s in Cardiff, Wales, where the musical influences of reggae and ska were strong, and which hosted the annual Butetown carnival where folks of different ethnic backgrounds could enjoy the heady sounds of the Caribbean in the docklands where Shirley Bassey grew up. I relate to all that diversity and cultural sharing infinitely more than some grandstander claiming to represent ‘white rock’.

“This song is a two-fingers-up at cultural exclusivity.”

Anahata foi uma das primeiras canções de Svayam, num momento em que os meus concertos meditativos começaram a incorporar cantigas, com letra e voz a cada concerto menos tímida e mais presente. É da era de 2018, mas quis ser fechada em 2022. Gravada na Start Up Cultural de Arruda dos Vinhos, em Dezembro de 2022.

João Svayam: guitarra, baixo, voz, bateria, mix e master.

Letra:

O meu coração não é só em mim
bate com outros que batem assim
Como um tambor que nunca tem fim
arde no peito e transforma-me aqui

O meu coração não é só em mim
brilha com outros que cantam assim
Soltam no vento um canto sem fim
abro o meu peito e transformo-me aqui

Volto ao meu peito agora e aqui
Abro o meu peito transformo-me aqui
Grato ao meu peito agora e aqui
Amor no peito bate um coração

(english)
Anahata was one of Svayam's first songs, at a time when my meditative concerts began to incorporate songs, with lyrics and voice at each concert less shy and more present. It's from the 2018 era, but I wanted to finish her process in 2022. Recorded at Start Up Cultural de Arruda dos Vinhos, in December 2022.

João Svayam: guitar, bass, vocals, drums, mix and master.

Lyrics

My heart doesn't live inside of me alone
beats with others who beat like it
Like a drum that never ends
it burns in my chest and transforms me here and now

My heart doesn't live inside of me alone
shines with others who sing like this
They release an endless song in the wind
I open my chest and become here and now

I return to my chest here and now
I open my chest, I transform myself here and now
Grateful to my heart here and now
My love, inside my chest beats a heart

Anahata

one in every crowd

My name is Dom Reynolds and I'm a singer-songwriter, musician, audio-engineer, actor and educator.

I am currently writing and recording with Belgium-born musician Jozef Birling. Having played together formerly in a group called Infra Red during the late ‘noughties’, we reconvened in the 2020s by jamming and then preparing a set of covers for live street performance.  Once we discovered that we have similar musical and artistic tastes, and that our original songs fitted well together, we created an album of newly-penned songs in an eclectic but rootsy style. The album is entitled Change the Plan, and is available for streaming or for purchase at domreynolds.com and Bandcamp.  Our next album, Roast Dinner Drive, came out in the summer of 2023. 

Excitingly, we also have an exciting new album in preparation -with a working title Love and Pain- scheduled for release in 2024. Since January we have been releasing a single from the album every six weeks, and will continue doing so until the album is released in the autumn, and beyond. This means you can get a regular fix of our new music! We are also planning some studio-recorded cover versions of songs by such legends as The Beach Boys and The Doors!

We have recently been joined by B Just (desperateBeauty), who is playing drums and percussion for the band for their live shows, Ethan on bass and Alex on backing vocals and acoustic guitar. The band is called  Dom Reynolds Derelicts.
