Why can't I get any peace of mind?
Something crushing happens each time
happiness comes my way.
It is never here to stay. 

Fuck the game that we've gotta play
just to live another day. 

I'm beat down, broken and terrified
yet I carry on somehow and take it in stride. 

Fuck the game that we've gotta play
just to live another day. 

Something crushing happens every time
That I think I've achieved peace of mind...

The Game

Hello All
We just wanted everyone who has submitted a track to know that Smirks is continuing to work on these. We are both proud and pleased to say that your response was simply amazing, with such brilliant pieces to work on and, because we want the finished product to be the best it can be, putting everything together is taking time.  Smirks also contracted Covid some weeks ago, which has laid him quite low for a time - another reason things have been held up.  But we wanted to assure you that the project is very much ongoing.  

So Smirks decided to put this together to give listeners a taster of what we want the end product to be.  He hasn't included any of your submissions because he didn't want to spoil the element of surprise for everyone involved.
There are many collabs currently being put together - even my brother Tel and myself are working on something - so it's a very complex entity, all things considered.  But rest assured, we are getting there.
Thanks to all for all your patience.  (Gary Reeves)

SPOKEN FOR

Rapture - Music & Vocal Improv's by REKHA IYERN [Fe]

Cover Art Design - Photos, Self Portrait, Solarium Lights & Graphics by REKHA - IYERN [Fe]

Compose & Produced, Recorded & Performed, Mixed & Mastered at IYERN [Fe] Reocords in CANADA.

A song about how the Queen is ever so proud and endlessly intoxicated...she is in a state of elated-ecstasy because of the miraculous fact that her King is a Good King, born to instil goodness on earth and beyond.  She will follow her Good King until the end of time...She has nothing but deep spiritual soul to soul devotion-admiration for her one and only beautiful King & of course the feelings dwell inside her, the passion fire never ending but rather only escalating. The almighty Lord Shiva says destruction will never win! One could believe that Shiva is King and his loyal goddess wife-is Parvati Queen. Hope you all enjoy this cosmic number!

EL VALS DE LA MARISMA

Human Music (acoustic) - with Carkiss Kilotta

A playful piece of music around a cat dreaming about its nine lives – and so the song has nine sections. An electric guitar piece – if you like a bit of overdrive on the axe, then this one’s for you!

Kat Dreams

Here is another song from my revival project.  
Looking back, however, I have no clues why I wrote these bleak songs.  Perhaps it was easier to express in some ways. Anyway, I think music-wise it's still worth a listen.  Just tell me what you think.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
Moonlight's wavering in the lake
It's kind of shaky
The ending's just too hard to take…….reality
Favorite songs (are) slowly fading
Feelings of others I can't earn
Who will ask with deep concern ?

Waiting for someone to call my name
I'm kind of lonely
But I'm dead to all sense of shame
Who will care for me ?
The pain that I can withstand
Who will lend me a helping hand ?
A stranger from distant land ?

(Chorus)
I can't afford to cry, it's a long ride
Streets reeled before my eyes
Hopes are abandoned
My future, fate will decide
There's the way to success
Love and happiness
Where everyone's about to be
With the small exception of me
 
Windows are rattling in the wind
My heart is screaming
Somehow I will have to give in
Better go on dreaming
Morning mist blurred the view
The truth I do not wish to know
I'm a clown in a circus show

** Repeat Chorus ***
