Hello again. It's been around a months time since I last posted... Far to long for my liking and mental health. 
A few things have changed in the time, from raising new born kittens by hand- to ending a 4 year relationship... Lots of feelings and strange emotions. 
When it seems you're doing nothing, but the world is constantly moving - It's easy to feel like you're being left behind; of little worth- like elderly or sickly in ancient nomadic tribes. 
But it's just a mind game, and I'm starting to see that. 

The mind plays tricks on itself, and if you let it run rampent, you'll find both body and mind out of control. 
Being rooted in the now, is integral to understand for mental health and true perspective on the universe. That being said...... my imagination, and it seems others imaginations.. 
People in general, have a undying curiosity for the future. 
A constant fearful obsession with what will happen next. 
Endless permutations and scenarios of how events could potentially unfold.. 
It's easy to think too much, and it's entirely too easy to get lost and trapped in those thoughts. 

That is what this song is about..  Honestly it's quite old, the song was written about 8 months ago.. and I've had the instrumental for longer. @https://soundcloud.com/sicknessmp 
Is the producer, as always... coming with a beautiful sound that makes one feel. Much love and thanks to him for letting me use the sound. With all the things that were happening, and how I was feeling, it felt like the right time to make the song. 

Because, when I was younger, not even 6 years ago, - I had no idea of what was to come. 
And before that, I never found an answer to: 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' 

It's a simple song, It's about wondering, wondering how I'll be different, how I'll be the same..
With who and where will I end up? 
There are many questions that cannot be answered.. yet I ponder their possibilities anyway. 
Do you?

VERSE 1 @ 33 
WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT, THAT IT WOULD COME TO THIS? 
THE PLACE WHERE I'M AT, 
THE PLACES THAT I'VE BEEN, 
THE PEOPLE I HAVE KNOWN,
AND THE PEOPLE THAT I'M WITH-
HOW EVENTS CHAIN TOGETHER, 
SHOWS ME WHERE THE PUZZLE FITS, 
THE PATH ISN'T FIXED, 
SO I WRITE MY OWN SCRIPT, ACCORDING TO CIRCUMSTANCES, WITHIN, 
I COULDN'T IMAGINE
EVEN A LITTLE BIT, 
THE ANSWER, I WOULD MISS, 
IF YOU TOLD ME--TO GUESS, 
SECRETS THAT I'VE TOLD, 
&THE SECRETS I HAVE KEPT, THE PEOPLE THAT I'VE LOVED, 
AND WITH WHOM I SHARE MY BED,
WHAT I HAD PICTURED-
IN MY HEAD, WAS CLOUDY-
AT BEST, 
HARD TO NOT BE UPSET, EASY TO BE STRESSED - 

WHEN YA DON'T KNOW WHAT YA WANT,
BUT HATE WHAT YOU GET. X 2 

HOOK --- @ 1:16 
I WONDER WHAT THE TIME MIGHT BRING? 
WE'LL FIND OUT, 
WE'LL FIND OUT, 
I WONDER IF I'LL SEE MY DREAMS? 
I'LL FIND OUT,
I'LL FIND OUT, 

VERSE 2 @ 1:36 
BECOMING LOST IN THE LABYRINTH,
OF THE MIND, MEMORY- 
IS TIME TRAVELLING THE LABYRYNTHIAN DESIGN.- 
BALANCE IS HARD TO FIND
THE MOUNTAINS, HARD TO CLIMB, 
IF YOU LOSE YOUR GRIP,
IN CHALLENGING TIMES,  
IT WILL FLASH BEFORE YOUR EYES, 
&HINDER YOUR VISION, 
LEAVING YOU BLIND, IF YOU FAIL TO RISE, 
WELL IT'S TIME TO IMPROVISE, 
I KNOW TRUTH IS HIDDEN,
DISGUISED IN PLAIN SIGHT.

HOOK --- 
I WONDER WHAT THE TIME MIGHT BRING? 
WE'LL FIND OUT, 
WE'LL FIND OUT, 
I WONDER IF I'LL SEE MY DREAMS? 
I'LL FIND OUT,
I'LL FIND OUT, 
 

BRIDGE --- 

SEE, I WONDER, YO-I-WONDER--
OO-
OO-
WHO,WHO I'LL-BE---------

HOOK --- 
I WONDER WHAT THE TIME MIGHT BRING? 
WE'LL FIND OUT, 
WE'LL FIND OUT, 
I WONDER IF I'LL SEE MY DREAMS? 
I'LL FIND OUT,

Lie Down(Quiet) #SecretSounds

Short piece of work, I put together in a single night, after listening to this instrumental. 

The subject of the song is simple: Confusion - about simply not knowing. 
Life is full of grey area and rarely are things very easy to understand in a black and white nature. 

The reasons why we do the things we do, and why we don't do the things we don't- it's all very interesting, the nature of character. That even despite utter confusion, within the character - the character can still develop, and bloom. It makes you wonder what is really important, in the end. 


I don't own the rights to this instrumental, nor permission. Hi Tek doesn't know i exist! 
Support the original work by peeping the work.

Spent a lot of time mixing the track. More than I wanted, but learning new things is always welcomed. Although - I really do need help with mixing vocals to single track stereo beats. 
Any help? 
Lyrics below: 

SUNS RAYS- THROUGH THE AIR-
SHINE ON MY FACE, &I'M NOT A BELIEVER, BUT A DREAMER-
YET I KNOW THAT I AM BLESSED TO WAKE EVERY DAY WHERE IT'S BREATH THAT I TAKE, EVEN THO
SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO THINK THAT WAY-
CONDITIONING OF BRAIN-
I FEEL THE SAME~
I FEEL THE SAME~

IT'S TIME TO CHANGE,
LEARN TO EARN FOR THE SAKE, OF UNDERSTANDING THE WORTH OF A DAY. 
WITH THE PEOPLE THAT I LOVE, AND THE ART THAT I CREATE. 

SALT LAKE!-TO INTERSTATE!-TO,INTERNATIONAL-LISTENER, 
I KNOW THE STYLE A LITTLE DIFFERENT HUH? 
WITH THE RHYME THAT I BE RIPPING UP, -PEEP MY RAPPIN. THO, FAME OR ATTRACTION-NOT WHAT I'M AFTER, 
IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE, DIFFICULT TO COUNTERACT THAT WHICH IS HABIT. 
SO MY FASHION IS SIMPLE-YO
I'M SIMPLY RAPPING. 

I DON'T KNOW--------------- 
WHAT TO THINK, RIGHT NOW

AM I REALLY GROWING? SEIZING EVERY MOMENT, 
WITH EVERY STRING I'VE INTERWOVEN, 
DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, 
&I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M GOING, 
I'M DROWNING IN LIFE, BUT I JUST KEEP FLOWING. 

I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, 
I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M GOING
I'M BURNING UP INSIDE, BUT I JUST KEEP SMOKING. 

KEEP GOIN, KEEP FLOWIN.

VERSE 2
JUST KEEP GOING, MY MIND EVOKE,
PROVOCATIVELY SPOKE,  
WORDS, CREATED IN QUOTES, ALL THE SHIT THAT I WROTE, THAT NOBODY KNOWS, 
THAT I EVEN COMPOSED, 
I BEEN HYDING-DR JEKYL, THE STYLE FRANKENSTEIN, 
COMPOSED OF ALKALOIDS& CHARGED BY ALKALINE, 

I RIDDLE A RHYME, CUZ, IT'S THE ONLY THING I HAVE, 
THE ONLY THING THAT'S MINE, 
ONEOFTHE ONLY TIMES-- SEE I GENUINELY SMILE- 
SO IT'S NO QUESTION WHY- YA SEE ME WRITING RHYMES, 
EXPRESSING FROM  BEHIND, 
THE POSITION OF THE MIC- 
SEEKIN - BEYOND MYSELF, THROUGH THE SURFACE DEEP INSIDE..

MUST BE MORE TO THIS LIFE... THAN WHAT THEY SHOW TO MY EYES

HOOK
I DON'T KNOW-
WHAT TO THINK, RIGHT NOW, 

AM I REALLY GROWING? SEIZING EVERY MOMENT, 
WITH EVERY STRING I'VE INTERWOVEN, 
DON'T UNDERSTAND IT,

I'M DROWNING IN LIFE, BUT I JUST KEEP FLOWING. 

I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT,

Keep Going(Cover): Produced By Hi-Tek [Lyrics in the Description]

Lately, I've become much more 'aware' of the true nature of the world. 
Through my own ventures, and vicariously seeing through others -- 

This song is about facing up to that, the reality of the world. And how, things like 'Honor' no longer exist. In fact, the ego - has replaced it almost entirely, it's switched to it's inherent opposite... Now rather than having a sense of honor, guide individuals, it's a Sense of shame, that guides them. 

In the sense, that they are always trying to keep shame at their back, and 'beat' it in a race. But, It doesn't work like that in all ways.. And from this, we can see true suffering stem. 

The hook, speaks plainly, on the decline of not only the physical use, of the Samurai - But also the decline of their spirit. Thanks to the introduction of powder weapons, their way of life; Bushido - was forever changed. And how I, myself feel this way, about the world today. 

I am a Samurai, in decline. 
All of my years growing up, I was always told so much - 
Told to dream, told to pursue my dreams, - and that to have a dream is one of the single most defining things a child could have. What do you want to be when you grow up? 

I feel cheated. I've spent now, all my life dreaming, trying to figure this out.. and I just feel like I was distracted. Now, caught in the maelstrom of life - your dream, can turn into exactly that - A dream. 

I have to un-learn, what I have been taught, and try and see things in a new light. A realistic light. 

AND THINK. Think. Perceive. Understand, but not for gain - for only the sake of understanding. 

Do not be afraid to think, fear is your minds worst web. 
Think deeply. I hope the songs message comes across to you, and you enjoy. Thank you for listening. 

Big thank you to http://soundcloud.com/kickbackdsc for the Production. 

Everything else was done by yours truly.

Stumbled across this free piccolo beat and had to kill it, I had alot of inspiration going into this one. I hope you enjoy.

Hello again, 
I am back once more with another fresh new jammy.. 
I was intending to switch things up, and make something a little bit more upbeat this time.
But after the recent events, in Boston, and just opening an eye to more global events.. 

I felt that the tone and subject of this song would reflect that sort of wind, that seems to be blowing.
Many thanks to @https://soundcloud.com/sicknessmp for the sound. Such a fine instrumental!
This instrumental was one of the first ones he showed me, very long ago.. 
It was a bit shorter than this version too- He ended up losing the file due to harddrive issues.
But I still have mine! 
I had to cut the ends and re-loop to make the song a proper length, to sing the hook the way I wanted.

Looking at the content of the song, it's theme is a personal one. 
In short, one could say it's about trying to be right, and correct - in hard times despite. 
Remaining true to the self, and those that you love. And in that way, It reflects my views on the world. With recent 'terror' attacks around the globe.
I feel that something is wrong if you're not stopping to ask yourself which side of the field you stand on.. 
To those that would do harm, I feel they would only do so- because they do not know how to use words.. 
We need not betray one another.

The first verse talks about being unsure of why certain things happen, why they may be hard to deal with..
And ultimate coming to the conclusion, that It seems that I may be feeling pain for a reason.. 
A good reason. So I feel must explore that, to learn about myself even more, taking things to the next level. 

There is also bit of ambivalance to the 2nd verse, feelings that contrast. 
Questioning why it is I even do the things I do- Other than the feeling I feel, that urges me to do it.
There are no real answers, so to speak, things only reveal themselves very slowly.. why it is that I want to make tunes, and write. 
It ends with bits about connection, old and new, do strong connections in life happen for a reason?
And If so, do those bonds become intertwined akin to destiny? 

I wonder.. 


Really appreciate you taking the time to listen to the jam, it took me a few weeks of no contact and struggle to complete it. 
I am glad it's done. 

Feed back always welcome. 

Peace, 

Malev

I FEEL, 
I NEED TO SUFFER MORE, 
INORDER TODISCOVER, WHAT FOR, 
SO THE THE PAIN I EXPLORE, THROUGH SUBCONCIOUS THOUGHT, 
TO LATE NIGHT TALKS, I TELL MYSELF-  'YES, I CAN ENDURE,'
THIS IS WHAT IT IS TO BE MATURE, 
VERY LITTLE FOR SUPPORT, EVERY LESSON OBSCURE, 
IN WORLD WHERE ONE IS TAUGHT, 
THAT THE WAY TO PROGRESS, 
AND THE WAY TO PROCURE, IS TO ENSURE THAT YOU ONLY OUT FOR GETTING YOURS. 
THAT'S HOW IT SEEM, HARD TO BELIEVE, 
WHAT HAS BECOME & TRANSFORMED, OF THEE AMERICAN DREAM- FOREVER LOST. 
BUT---------------
I HOPE THAT I AM WRONG, AS IT SEEMS, 
I'M GONE IN DREAMS AND IN MY IMAGINATION
MY INTERPRETATION OF THEWAYEVENTS HAVE CULMINATED, 
IT SEEMS I'LL NEVER MAKE IT, SOMEDAYS FEELING FAITHLESS, 
BUT I KNOW, I'LL BE OKAY
IF I STAY PATIENT 

JUST STAY PATIENT.....   UPON DE DAILY BASIS,

I SEEK 
& FEEL IT DEEP,   
THAT I NEED TO LET FLOW THE INK

JUST LET IT GO - FROM THE PIT OF MY STOMACH 
THERE MUST EXIST A HOLE. 
THAT I NEED TO FILL - FUELLING FIRES, LIKE A COAL, SHOVELED, DUG - HEAVED & HO'D 
BURNING LOW, 

ONCE CONNECTED, DO YOU REALLY EVER LET GO? 
ONCE ROOTS IS SEWN, 
BUT, NO LONGER WHOLE-
DOES IT STUNT THE GROWTH? 

I'D LIKE TO THINK NOT, 
AND I'D LIKE TO THINK SO- 
BECAUSE SOMEDAYS I DONT', YET SOME I FEEL IT IN MY BONES, 
THAT I WANT TO KEEP CLOSE & 
I WANT TO TO CALL HOME, 
WHERE THE NECK BE EXPOSED, TO NESTLE & FEEL THE WARMTH, 
CUZ I'VE BEEN FEELING -- YO..
CUZ I'VE BEEN FEELING COLD.

Don't Betray: Produced By Sickness MP [Lyrics in Description]

Happy Mothers Day for all the Mothers that look out for the children they bring into this world. 

I have very few means in terms of physical gifts that I can give to people. 
Choosing to be unemployed has it's benefits, and at times- it has it's disadvantages. 
Really the only time I wish I had a job was around a holiday centered around showing appreciation for another.. only because I don't have the means to actually buy them anything.

So instead, I do what I can. This is for my Mother, a short song to show my endless appreciation. The song is really straight forward... It's about how words are not enough. 

I was lucky enough to come across https://soundcloud.com/sotozen-3/seeing-form-seeing-mind
in a sheer moment of curiosity and listened.. and was blown away.. 
All day I spent wondering what I was going to do for Mothersday, then suddenly in the last 2 hours of the day, I'm hit with a wave of inspiration. 

So I sat there, failing to fight back tears in most instances sincerely thinking about my mom and what she means to me, and wrote and recorded this short track in Reason 7 in about 4 hours total. 

Much love to Soto, for making the track.. and putting it up for Download.. I simply couldn't pass it up in the moment, everything was perfect. Check out more of Soto's jams here: https://soundcloud.com/sotozen-3


I love you mom.

Ruddy Carpel-Trickle Down Theory by Grapho ( Carpel, Bohlman, Brown, Hockett, Denham )

This was a short song I put together over the weekend, after some troubling events. 
The instrumental comes from https://soundcloud.com/sotozen-3 
I downloaded the instrumental quickly, and began to write. 
I guess you could call it therapy.. It's the only thing I know how to do in response. 

Nothing crazy or, profound. 
The song is about confusion, in a sense. Being clouded from events, that happen. 
Not being sure of what you always want, and at the same time, being out of reach for the things you are sure you want. 

Song was written in about an hour, the recording process took the better part of a Monday. 
Thanks for peeping, hope that you enjoy the song.

STRETCHED OUT REACHING, REACHING,

NOW I'M RETREATING, FROM A FEELING, 
THAT SEEM'D MISLEADING, BUT SEEMING, 
TO BE EXACTLY WHAT I WAS SEEKING, 
OR MAYBE NEEDING, 
WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REALITY, 
AND WHEN I'M DREAMING, 
WHEN BOTH GET MY HEART BEATING, 
BOTH LEAVE MY CHEST HEAVING, 
HEAVY BREATHING-
WAKIN UP SUDDENLY, FROM SLEEPIN.

I DON'T KNOW, WHY, 
THIS EVEN MAKES ME FEEL THIS WAY...

GET ME AWAY.
