Lots of people moving to the state of AZ
The desert seems like a nice a nice place to be
The only problem is there’s not enough H20
One day you’ll turn the tap and it’s not gonna flow
The climate keeps getting drier every single year
I guess we’ll have to take fewer showers and drink more beer

If you can’t stand the heat maybe you should get out of the kitchen
Maybe this isn’t the right place for you.
The sun up in the sky is 93 million miles away
But it feels a lot closer on a hot Arizona day

There’s not enough snowpack on the mountains up high
They say the Colorado river’s running dry
They’re ripping up lawns, replacing them with rocks
Instead of going barefoot, you walk around in crocs
The polar glaciers are melting in to the sea
I wish that they could scoop up an iceberg and drop it down on me

If you can’t stand the heat maybe you should get out of the kitchen
Maybe this isn’t the right place for you

Most of the rain falls in the summer
Monsoon season can be a real bummer
You get a big dust storm, they call it a haboob
You can watch scary videos on You Tube
You’ll be driving and suddenly you can’t see
You gotta make sure you don’t crash into a cactus or a tree

If you can’t stand the heat maybe you should get out of the kitchen
Maybe this isn’t the right place for you

A long time a ago, it must have been tough without air conditioning
People just had to sit around all day moaning and bitching 
Now the biggest thing we complain about is our high electric bill
As we lie on the couch watching Netflix enjoying the comfortable chill

If you can’t stand the heat maybe you should get out of the kitchen
Maybe this isn’t the right place for you
The sun up in the sky is 93 million miles away
But it feels a lot closer on a hot Arizona day

Can't Stand the Heat

This is a song about treading new paths, and the footwear required :-)

"New Ways" written by KL
Recorder (Blockflöte) by SL (my 8 year old daughter)
Guitar by MJW (a good friend of mine)
Vocals, Bass guitar, Drums and Synthesizer by KL

Feel free to turn up the volume :-)

Chorus:
Can´t find...can´t find new ways…
can´t find new ways in worn-out shoes…
Can´t break...can´t break new ground…
can´t break new ground in worn-out shoes...

New Ways

This is an old traditional Malagasy song,
we did for you 

Kitana on vocals 
Rina on piano

Mifankatiava ihany
Raha mbola velona aina
Tsy misy toy izany ny mampifaly saina

Ny maty efa lasa
Tsy azontsika antsoina
Isika no mikasa
Ny ratsy hadinoina re

Ny maty efa lasa
Tsy azontsika antsoina
Isika no mikasa
Ny ratsy hadinoina

Koa raha tsy fotoana ela
No hipetrahana eto
Andeha re
Andeha re mba hifamela
Andeha hifamela mba tsy harahin-tsento
Mba tsy harahin-tsento
Andeha re(Andeha re)
Mba hifamela
Mba tsy arahin-tsento

tranlation:
Let’s love one another
While we are still alive
There’s nothing more joyful than that for the soul

The dead are already gone
We can no longer call them back
It’s up to us now
To let go of the wrongs

The dead are already gone
We can no longer call them back
It’s up to us now
To let go of the wrongs

So if our time here
Is not for long
Let us go
Let us go and forgive each other
Let us forgive, so no sorrow remains
So no sorrow remains
Let us go (Let us go)
To forgive
So sorrow won’t follow

"Only One, Bad Move" by A-laise is a track that blends a powerful beat with emotional depth, conveying a sense of firm resolve never to return, yet also revealing a faint trace of lingering feelings for the other person. With a lively, infectious rhythm that fuses elements of dance-pop and R&B, the song carries an undeniable groove.

Only One, Bad Move

A-laise - Only One, Bad Move

This song is about resilience and determination. It's about being broken, battered, and bruised, but refusing to let those experiences define me. I've been through the flames, but I'm still burning, still standing. The song is a declaration of strength, a refusal to be defeated or silenced. It's about rising above the pain and the noise, and finding a voice that's born from fire. I'm unbroken, I'm untamed, and I'm still standing, and that's a message I want to share with all of you.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
I've been to the edge, I've been to the floor
I've been broken, but I'm walking out the door
I've been lied to, I've been cheated
But I won't let it define me, no, I won't be defeated 

[Chorus]
I'm unbroken, I'm untamed
I'm a fire that's still burning
I've been through the flames, but I'm not the same
I'm unbroken, I'm still standing, still standing 

[Verse 2]
I've been to the darkness, I've been to the night
I've been searching for a light, a beacon in the fight
I've been trying to find my way, through the noise and the pain
But I won't let it break me, no, I won't be chained 

[Chorus]
I'm unbroken, I'm untamed
I'm a fire that's still burning
I've been through the flames, but I'm not the same
I'm unbroken, I'm still standing, still standing 

[Verse 3]
I’ve been called too much, been told to hush
Felt the world try to crush me with every push
But I scream louder, I rise higher
You can't drown a voice that's born from fire 

[Bridge]
So go ahead and write me off again
Say I'm too wild, too fierce, too much to mend
But every scar is just proof I lived
And every fall gave me more to give 

[Chorus]
I'm unbroken, I'm untamed
I'm a fire that's still burning
I've been through the flames, but I'm not the same
I'm unbroken, I'm still standing, still standing 

[Outro]
Still standing, still burning
Still fierce, still learning
I’m unbroken — yeah, I’m still standing

Still Standing

I had posted a year ago the row version of this track recorded back in 2015 (https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/bosque-redondo)
I thought that, after all these years, it was time to remake it, without altering the melody or the atmosphere.
Regarding the context evoked, see for example here: https://americanindian.si.edu/nk360/navajo/long-walk/long-walk.cshtml

Hi Everyone!
This is a simple and cheerful song for our dog named Waldek who is a fan of music and especially country music! 🍀

Of course, I also love country vibe (especially Johnny Cash !!!) and use this musical heritage, but here I certainly don’t play in this style. 
Fortunately, Waldek liked this song! 🔆

Hope you enjoy the vibe! 
Thanks a lot for listening and support!

This is a powerful anthem born from a movement of strong, talented women who are redefining the music industry. This song is a celebration of female empowerment, creativity, & solidarity. The spark that ignited this movement came from the incredible @bobby-b-phoolan, who started the #UnapologeticallyHER Playlist on SC & brought together a community of women artists who are making their voices heard. As a member of this group, I wanted to honor Bobby's vision & the sisterhood we've formed, so I created this song as a tribute to the movement & the women who inspire me every day. This song is a reflection of our experiences, our struggles, & our triumphs. We're not just making music; we're creating a legacy. We're unapologetically ourselves, & we're proud of who we are. From the lyrics to the beat, every element of this song is a testament to the strength & resilience of women. So, get ready to join the movement. This is #UnapologeticallyHER

[Verse 1]
Step in the circle, the fire ignites
We queens link up, redefining the heights
Not lookin’ for permission, we buildin’ our own
From verses to beats, every woman in her zone
They said it’s a boys’ club, we flipped the script
Now SoundCloud buzzin’ with the power we spit
Bobby lit the spark, now the torch gets passed
From René to Sarena—yeah this movement gon’ last
No competition, just rhythm & rise
We see through the fake with truth in our eyes
Sisterhood born from the pain we survived
Now we unapologetic, loud, fierce, & alive

[Pre-Chorus]
We ain’t sorry for the shine, we ain’t dimmin’ for none
Every scar made a star, now the healing begun
We got dreams in our pens, got strength in our verse
So we spit with a purpose & rewrite the curse

[Chorus]
Unapologetically HER—yeah we show up bold
Every rhyme like gold, watch our legacy unfold
We don't ask, we take the mic, break the mold
Ain’t no fear in our flame, only stories untold
Unapologetically HER—every note, every line,
Got a crown on our soul and a reason to shine.
We the sisters we needed, the fire, the cure—
Together we rise, Unapologetically HER. 

[Verse 2]
They call it confidence? Nah, that’s just truth
Been grindin’ since day one, in and outta the booth
Some say we lack courage—boy, you must be blind
We birth galaxies daily from the depths of our minds
Bobby built the vision with her heart wide open
Gave a voice to the silence turned pain into motion
Now JazZee, ShAnkAri, & every soul in the thread
Turn the page on the past, let the future be led
No more waitin’ for seats—we makin’ our table
Queens with a dream & the will to stay stable
We show love, drop gems
never do it for clout
We just speak from the soul that’s what HER is about.

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
DMs full of "almosts," egos & schemes
But we movin’ with vision, not thirst for the streams
We hear the backhanded love brush it off, keep on
'Cause we queens, we creators we the break of the dawn
From solo battles to collabs with grace
We found our tribe, found our sacred place
This ain’t just a chat, it’s a vibe, it’s a wave
It’s the anthem of the brave, for the ones who stayed
We ain't here to be liked—we here to be loud
To spit bars that heal & make our mamas proud
We got purpose in rhythm, divinity in rhyme
And we ain’t shrinkin’ for nobody, not this time

[Bridge]
To every girl told “no,” now you got a crew
A mirror of your power & a place that’s true
So when the world says hush we just turn it to art—
Bobby sparked a revolution straight from the heart

[Chorus]

[Final Chorus]
Unapologetically HER—this our sacred sound
From the underground queens to the world-renowned
We won’t beg to belong, we just build & roar
This is HERstory now—can’t ignore us no more

[Outro]
So here’s to the visionaries, the rebels, the real
To every lyric that dared to feel
To Bobby, the spark—we honor your flame
We’ll carry this light, keep pushin’ the name

Unapologetically, beautifully, fiercely HER—
No silence, no shame, just the sound of power
🎤👑✨

Unapologetically HER

LYRIC
It took me half my life 
To finally gain insight
I only saw myself as others did
And I mostly stayed hid

I spent half my life
Upset and uptight
I learned it’s stupid to walk on eggshells
Every egg eventually breaks
And if that takes you half your life
That’s what it takes

Can't say exactly when
I knew what I didn’t then
A dawning realization
An opening of the mind
It only took me half my life for me to find

Time isn’t playing
It’s counting the days
If you don’t know what I’m saying
(Well) you won’t be young always
You sure won’t!

As the years accrue
In the remaining few
I won’t let regret confine me
I’ll amble slowly toward the light
Let the past all fade to black
I can’t go back
I love this last half of my life
So that’s all right


Half My Life

lyrics:
This is not a drill!

Give me something to break it in two
give me glory to rule the fools
take me in your house on a big flat screen
Ready to sink you on a dark black dream

Are you ready to become a slave of me?
Corrupted government ain't gonna set u free
All these righteous pre-election pigs
are now pointing the finger for you to pay the fee

Now it's the time, this is not a drill
ain't got no privilege , got nothing to feel
Your heart is gray from the news today
only your soul left in the end to pay


(p) & (c) 2025, Hostal Handshake.

This is not a drill! (new song 2025)

So ~ I wasn't really intending on writing / recording another new song at the moment since I'm attempting to finish a number of other songs for my current project ~~but This One came to me one day in July & I felt compelled & decided to kind of drop everything  & record it, as I was hearing it as the possible song I may tag on as the Final Song of my new project once it is complete to close it out ~~
Would Love to hear any thoughts on it at all ! :-)

THE LAVENDER

Drifting between gravity and signal, where silence hums like distant machinery.
The sound of descent disguised as ascension — a slow burn through clouds of interference.
Weightless, watching the world fade to a whisper, still transmitting from the edge of reality.
