I AM A FOOL LOVING YOU (Mastering Paploviante)

This is the 3rd song Bitzone, Frawstakwa, and I have worked on together for my CKP page. I wanted this latest track to continue with the electronic hip hop vibe we had established with our previous two tracks.  Bitzone dug into his rich production archive and found a beat 10 years deep that met the criteria. This time I sent the track first to Frawstakwa to switch things up, since the last two songs I had started off. Frawstakwa came up with these deep metaphysical lyrics and I added a literal interpretation that I hoped would complement his meaning while keeping in theme with the previous two tracks. Bitzone then worked his magic and transformed the track into an electronic hip hop rock fusion. And then for a final surprise, he asked Joerxworx to join in with some futuristic EWI. In the end, I like that this track is different from It Ain’t Looking Good and Trendsetting and I think it points at a possible new direction for the next track we all work on together. 

Thank you for all your listenings, comments, playlists, radio spins, and purchases. The musical team is eternally grateful. 

Don’t loose hope, keep faith in yourself and your community, be creative, and persist.

Lyrics

Oh, this is just great 
Yo, gimme a break 
No, Freudian slip made
So, it’s no mistake
Go, psycho analyze it 
Though, am I insane
In the membrane
Or normal
It’s weird right?
We’re here but so briefly
Mere mortals
Appears our fate is foretold
How unfortunate 
Of course there’s this
Who says we have to forfeit free will
Forget about it
We are forward thinkers 
And forces of nature
Scratch that - supernatural
Look at how we have grown
And evolved
Lets explore
What’s beyond
What is known 
And accepted by all
Be omnidirectional 
Slow, in the fast lane 
Flow, like a mixtape
For, goodness sake
Over and over again 
Face total
Loss of control
Lack of faith
Don’t trip though
Effects cause vertigo
Catch wreck, let ‘em know
Fact check, general 
Search, research
Both the world and the earth
First you learn
Then you teach
Art and culture
To reach out and touch 
All of the people 
Them, no doubt indeed

What difference does it make
If at any given rate
The only thing that matters in the end is too late

What difference does it make
If at any given rate, yo!

Have you ever felt alone
In a place so dark, so vast, so cold

Everyday I pass by
The same lame busted gate 
The same 
Boarded up broken windows and
Old rusted grates
The same
Overflowing trash cans continue to accumulate with a ever-growing stench that won’t abate 
It’s the same
Neighborhood cats talking smack on da crates 
It’s the same
Families falling flat with not enough food on their plates
I’m passin’ by the same
Kids in baseball hats standing wet in wait 
Out there gettin’ rained on cause the bus is running late 
It straight 
Hasn’t changed at all 
What difference does it make
I’m still awake at dawn 
Exerting on 
Getting my debt rate gone
Word is born
What difference does it make
Cause pass generations gone
Still couldn’t pass it on
What difference does it make

What difference does it make 
If at any given rate
Things just stay the same

What difference does it make 
If at any given rate
We keep on playing games

What difference does it make 
If at any given rate
There really isn’t even anything else left for me to say

Add clarity
Split seconds, detailed motions
Shock therapy
City lights and notions
Wandering, wondering… 

Music sticking to my heels
You know just how it feels
I'm wondering, wandering, wondering

If I refuse to sleep
If I refuse to sleep
If I refuse to sleep
If I refuse to sleep
Who's gonna dream my dreams?

(Dream my dreams)
(Dream my dreams)
Is it you?
(Dream my dreams)

I love you, too

I'm wondering, wandering…
Memories sticking to my heels
You know just how it feels, don't you?
I'm wondering, wandering, wondering

If I refuse to sleep
If I refuse to sleep
If I refuse to sleep
If I refuse to sleep
Who's gonna live my dreams?

(Dream my dreams)
Is it you?
(Dream my dreams)

Or is it you?

Savor it, drink it in
Catch your breath, let it sink in
Cough it up, spit it out

Brace yourself, see it through
I see you've got some demons, too
Cough it up, spit it out
Ain't this what our life's about?

So I dance into the darkness
And close my eyes
And improvise

I love you, too

In 2021 there were 2,755 billionaires in the world. They are guilty of committing ECOCIDE - yet they continue to choose profit over battling climate change.

Billionaires are the leading cause of climate change. More than 70% of global emissions come from just 100 companies as stated by the Carbon Majors Report.

Amazon alone emitted 61 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2020 - the equivalent of 16 coal-burning power plants running for a year.

Some of America’s most prominent companies, including Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Disney are backing business and lobbying groups that are fighting landmark climate legislation despite their promises to combat the climate crisis.

Time is running short - THERE IS NO PLANET B


                             Billionaires Are Destroying The Planet

Billionaires are destroying the planet
just so they can make a profit
pollution is killing Dear Mother Nature
melting - wiping out all our glaciers.

CHORUS
Greta Greta Greta U Da Man
you're the woman with a plan
Greta Greta Greta U Da Man
you're the woman with a plan.

Heat waves are killing more and more people
we keep on burning more and more diesel
you don't have to be a rocket scientist
to know why fires destroy our forests.
Politicians are climate change deniers
in the meantime, our homes are on fire
the air we breathe smell like hell
thanks to the coal and oil cartels.

CHORUS

MONOLOGUE

Rising sea levels from China to California
causing devastation - Hallelujah
writings on the wall with plastic in our seas
welcome to the world of climate refugees.
Every year when it's hurricane season
the rains and floods are beyond reason
subways flooding thanks to carbon emissions
now our planet is in remission!

Billionaires are destroying the planet
Billionaires are destroying the planet

So start listening to the children
and heed the words of Mr. Bob Dylan
or it's a "Hard Reigns Gonna Fall"
your need for greed will be our downfall.

CHORUS

Billionaires are destroying the planet
Billionaires are destroying the planet

Billionaires Are Destroying The Planet

Hello dear friends. It's been a long while. We've all been through hell some way or other and I wish you love joy and strength.
It was great having Brian visit us in Durban this past month (the old boy's leaving on Friday). Well while he was here I got him to do some backing vocals. And he was a big help with the mixing as well. Thanks Brian!

Legerdemain - words and music Johnny Minstrel 

Bring out your entertainers
the jugglers and the clowns
We’re in the belly of the beast
as the world shuts down
All is smoke and mirrors
I hear someone say
Living the illusion
till Judgement Day 

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

He’s gonna blow your mind
Mo Magic’s back in town
There’s always something kinder
Whenever he’s around
Today is like tomorrow
Uncertain and unclear
Spill your drink of sorrows
God knows that’s too much beer

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

Well there’s nobody here
Anymore than somebody there
Guess I’ll meet you in the ether
On some dodgy cable line
And if you see me turn the corner
Wave a hello or goodbye
Who knows where I’ll be going
And who I’ll be next time
Who I’ll be next time 

Bring out your entertainers
All the world’s a stage
Just looks a little smaller
In this virtual cage
So, throw in a coin dear missus
I promise you a thrill
Not stealing from the masses
Or teaching how to kill

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

This round I'm covering a Japanese pop song.
The problem is, I don't know Japanese but I really like the music.
The original was performed by veteran singer-songwriter Hideaki Tokunaga.  
I kind of shifted a little bit towards country pop in my arrangement and added an outro sax for completeness.  Just see what you think.

Apology to my Japanese friends for my probable weird pronunciation.

[LYRICS per Google Translation]
For you
I do not mind staying in my memories
For you
Transparently, I love you

Easy eyes are created
I keep silent in that sky
Even if you do not miss a mystery love
Now I can not find a night here

For you 
I'm looking at a dream I have never seen before.
For you
Close your eyes, I love you

As the moment of two people runs out 
the troublesome thing to wear on your body
I can show you through

A desperate thought has risen up in that
All goes on to love as it is

For you
I do not mind having even my memories
For you
Transparently, I love you

[ORIGINAL LYRICS]
あなたのために hu hu
想い出さえも 舍てて かまわない
あなたのために huhu
透きとおって I love you

やさしい目が 创りだす
その空气に 默り迂む
ミステリーな恋  愉しんでも
探せない夜が いま ここに  

あなたのために huhu
见たことのない 梦を见つめてる 
あなたのために
目を闭じて I Love You

二人になる瞬间へ
走りだして 行くために
身に振りかかる わずらわしさ 
突き拔けてみせる いつ だって 

沸き起こる とりとめない想い
すべて 爱しさへ つづく

あなたのために ya ha
想い出さえも 舍てて かまわない
あなたのために ya ha
透きとおって I Love You

I started out, I had no plan
I took a job and soon was working for the man
And now it seems through modern dreams
And all I've done is learn to live beyond my means
Yes we have the house, And we have the car
And paid for it all, on some credit card, now that ain't right!
Oh no, no

My second home, your student loan
And every year I got myself a brand new phone
Can't do without, don't have the nerve
I tell myself that these are things that I deserve
Yes, I can't make do,  With just half my chеque
I need all those things, so I live in debt
Now that ain't right
Everything that I thought I knew
Everything I was told, was true
I was living a lie and I never ask why
And now I don't know what to do
I guess I can't keep up, I guess I can't keep up with the Jones

I can't slow down, I've lost control
I've  double down and tell myself I'm on a roll
It's not my fault, it's not like me
I never saw myself as someone who ain't free
Now I'm wondering, has it gone too far?
Should I pick up the cheque, At this hotel bar? Now that ain't right!
No, no, no
Everything that I thought I knew
Everything I was told was true
I was living a lie and I never ask why
Now I don't know what to do
I guess I can't keep up, I guess I can't keep up with the Jones

I was living like the money was king
I let it have the power on me
Now I recognize the funniest things
Is I'm broke and now I'm finally free hee hee hee-hee!

We all know life don't go as planned
So now I'm buying all my records second hand
It's brought me these, I've come to see
That all my greatest joys in life are always free
I still have my house, But I've sold my car
It felt so damn good, To cut up those credit cards, yeah that felt right!
Yeah, yeah, oo!
Everything that I thought I knew
Everything I was told was true
I was living a lie and I never ask why
Now I don't know what to do
I guess I can't keep up, I guess I can't keep up with the Jones

Merry Christmas 🎄❄️☃️⭐

It's my favourite time of year so I thought I would try and create a festive sounding piece of music! 

A Winter's Tale

Eight Soundcloud musicians together, what an experience!
I wet my pants and at the same time I am incredibly proud. This song is one of the most exciting I've ever done. 
I am really grateful for the encouragement from all sides during the process, thank you very much!

I hope to speak for all involved - may you, esteemed listeners, enjoy the song!

*Black Into Blue*
(Frawstakwa)
we’ve dreamt in the darkness ending with dawn
opening upon vast expanses beyond
the shadows of structures we’re stretching across
intersections of our systems of thought
which should serve to strengthen us all
awakening the sleeping dragon c’mon
I take it we might need to break down some walls
to let in some light clear the air knock it off

(Couch)
I’ve been holdin’ on vision goin’ strong
Days are long not looking forward to the dawn
When the rays are gone sleep can linger on
Eternal rest I’d be blessed ain’t saying sinners wrong 
I can confess but god be my witness 
I never did much harm so why do I feel forlorn 
Manifest the stress of the station I was born
You gave me hope but I was torn pessimistic 
Fellin’ the pressure to be realistic 
That’s a whole lotta haters talking
That’s my inner mocking 
That’s the life generations have been walking
That’s the future for my kids I’ve been hopping I’ve been stopping
You say it’s just me who’s been blocking
Ain’t knocking the pursuit but startin’ negative on the loot
Got me resolute this dream was never true 
For me 
Still heading black into blue 
We’ll see

(Frawstakwa)
if not that then let us pause 
in silent reflection a song
somehow inspiring awe 
black into blue and I yawn
as the eastern pearl of blonde
rises and fires a shot
from where the horizon was born
that single line on the dot
signed sealed delivered and hot
get up give it all you’ve got
we’re only here on this rock
to do what we need to so what do you want?
time for me to stop

(Stoney)
keep your head strong, when light comes, I will meet you where 

the sky will brighten up my dear, 
your eyes will finally see clear, 
outside it's too cold for this fear, 
black into blue, this bruise will heal

is the dream ending here, goodbye to the fear, from cave I appear

the sky will brighten up my dear, 
your eyes will finally see clear, 
outside it's too cold for this fear, 
black into blue, this bruise will heal

LIVING iN SOLIDARITY

I spent two years making Punto Ártica album as a whole, and I mostly played my mom’s Spanish guitar in the spare time. This theme and chords got shape with time, without any plan, in some different variations I’ve tried to remember and craft here.

Even a 7/4 vocal section had come up. In the spirit of this new profile, I asked Codi (https://soundcloud.com/noisealter) to adapt my translation of a poem I wrote when my age was about 1/3 than now (see below), and he also sung it with the passion and delivery I was looking for !!

Original poem  /  First translation:

FEBRERO  /  FEBRUARY

Efe de frío, Febrero,  /  ‘F’ for Freeze, February,
tiempo de ocio y ventura  /  leisure and venture time.
Sueño, guitarra, lectura,  /  Sleep, guitar, reading,
paso intermedio.  /  intermediate step.

Tiempo de amigos y risas  /  Time for friends and laughter,
de descanso e ilusión  /  of rest and illusion
de esperanza y ocasión,  /  of hope and opportunity,
muere la prisa.  /  the rush dies.

Febrero de nacimiento,  /  February of birth,
pausa para el estudiante.  /  pause for the student.
Los problemas van delante,  /  The problems go ahead,
estoy contento.  /  I’m happy.
