Very nice. Your master file is ready.
You chose the Aurora style. We've adjusted your track's harshness and clarity so it sounds light, open, and clear. Then we increased the overall volume of the track to optimize it for playback and adjusted the overall intensity based on your settings (100%).

Sehr schön. Deine Master-Datei ist fertig.
Du hast den Aurora-Stil gewählt. Wir haben die Härte und Klarheit deines Tracks so angepasst, dass er leicht, offen und klar klingt. Dann haben wir noch die allgemeine Lautstärke des Tracks erhöht, um sie für die Wiedergabe zu optimieren, und die allgemeine Intensität anhand deiner Einstellungen (100 %) angepasst.

Yesterday

DJ - Hero - Soft - 436 - Yesterday

Oh, it was alright at the start.
But then you drank too much, and things just start to slowly fall apart.
And it'll be alright in the end.
And all the other bullshit coming from your friends.

Don't talk that fucking shit to me.
You know exactly how this goes.
You can't do nothing and expect things just to change.
Been down the road.
Cigarettes and Alcohol.

You got yourself some little tart.
Kidding yourself that you're so much better than you are.
They all think you're a fucking dick.
Be better if it didn't take you years to realise it.

Don't talk that fucking shit to me.
You know exactly how this goes.
You best do something if you're wanting shit to change.
Been down the road.
Cigarettes and Alcohol.

So you pour yourself another drink,
And you're gipping in your kitchen sink.
There's empty cans hidden in every hole.

And you're kidding no one but yourself.
There's no escaping mental health.
Reflection staring back all pale and gaunt.

The fun has gone it passed you by.
Old Red eyes they don't even cry.
They only get more angry at the world.

The only solution's another drink.
Another drink and, another drink.
That familiar feeling, all safe and warm.

Don't talk that fucking shit to me.
You know exactly how this goes.
Give it three days and you'll be rid of the fucking shakes.
Been down the road.
Cigarettes and Alcohol.

Cigarettes and Alcohol [2023]

Whilst seeking out light in the dark.
You whispered and put out your spark.
Supposedly seeking out truth.
You wandered in amongst the brutes.

Oh, Ozymandias, you are.
But you didn't fall very far.
The never-ending stretch of sands,
And every bit flows through your hands.

You wanted to beat me.
You wanted to see what I've got.
Not a lot.
Oh, you howled at the sight of the moon.
You wanted to be me.
You wanted to temper the shock.
Took your shot.
By the light of the blood orange moon.
 
You sought out the secret too soon.
The dog star arriving in June.
You barely remembered the tune.
you drank up your fill of the moon.

A beautiful, terrible mind.
Beware spake the sign of the sign.
Your arrow is shot falling down.
You'll never escape from this town.

You wanted to be me.
You wanted to see what I've got.
Not a lot.
Did it all by the light of the moon.
You wanted to beat me.
You wanted to see what I'm not.
Took a shot.
By the light of the blood orange moon.


Blood Orange Moon

Forcing down this drink.
I never stop to think.
Guess I forgot. (Guess I forgot)
Can't ever stop these shakes.
Or another pill to take.
A day to blot (To blot)
Oh, what am I to do?
Can't make it without you.
I had my shot. (My shot)
Who was I supposed to be?
It's easier to see.
Who I am not. (I'm not)

I know that I'm a dickhead on the drink.
I know I'm only made of what they think.
I know reality is what they saw.
I think I always hoped for something more.
Says a lot.

I never wanted change.
Another rearrange.
I've said my lot. (My lot)
Sat firmly back in place. 
Gave up on the chase.
I've been forgot. (Forgot)
Oh, what am I to do?
Happy without you.
To have's, have not. (Have not)
Which one then is me?
I lost it in the we.
I am, am (I) not? (Am not)

I know that I'm a dickhead in the drink.
I know I'm only made of what they think.
I know reality is what we found.
I always looked for something in the sound.
Says a lot.

Says A Lot

Guitar: Taylor 150e 12-string

Lyrics:
Walkin’ through the shadowy forest,       
Didn’t know which way I should go,
Somethin’ caught my eye that was givin’ off a golden glow.
It was a shiny little guy in the flowers,
His thoughts were gettin’ into my head,
I wondered what he could know, and this is what he said:

Well I know it’s ‘bout helpin’ each other,
And I know it’s ‘bout sendin’ up a prayer,
And I know it’s ‘bout feelin’ the peace that waits inside you there.
Well I know it’s ‘bout followin’ your heartbeat, 
To help you do everything you’re meant to do,
And I know it’s ‘bout findin’ the love that’s waitin’ everywhere.
Ooooh ooh ooh…ah.

Well I couldn’t really see what he looked like, 
But a song was all inside my mind,
And everything that I could feel told me he was kind.
It was clear that he was hopin’ to help me,
Find my way out of the shadowy place,
By filling me up with his wisdom and a whisper of grace.

He sang I know it’s ‘bout helpin’ each other
And I know it’s ‘bout sendin’ up a prayer
And I know it’s ‘bout feelin’ the peace that waits inside you there.
Well I know it’s ‘bout reachin’ for your helpers,
Who will guide you to the things you’re meant to do,
And it’s all about findin’ the love that’s waitin’ everywhere.

Something changed inside of me then,
A music of the soul until the very end.

I sing: I know it’s ‘bout helpin’ each other
And I know it’s ‘bout sendin’ up a prayer
And I know it’s ‘bout feelin’ the peace that waits inside you there.
Well I know it’s ‘bout reachin’ for your helpers,
Who will guide you to the things you’re meant to do,
And I know it’s ‘bout findin’ the love that’s waitin’ everywhere.
And I know it’s ‘bout findin’ the love that’s waitin’ everywhere.

Well I Know

"Morpheme" by Jeremias Langsämmer is a delicate and introspective journey into the realms of lo-fi piano and harp. Drawing inspiration from the evocative simplicity of Joji and the nostalgic soundscapes of Nujabes, Langsämmer weaves together soft, minimalistic piano melodies with the ostinato of a lo-fi harp. The track captures a dreamy, meditative atmosphere, with the piano's warm, melancholic tones perfectly complementing the harp's airy resonance, creating a sound that is both soothing and deeply reflective. "Morpheme" invites listeners to slow down, breathe, and lose themselves in its tranquil, yet emotionally rich soundscape.

MOLTS ANYS !    -.-Cor a 6 veus-.-

When the rain falls down.
It can numb your brain.
When the rain won't stop.
You could go insane.
When the rain falls down.
You are forced to face.
That the rain goes on.
That the rain remains.

Out of the valley, we roam.
Into clear blue skies.
One more step toward home.
Where the blue birds fly.

When the rain comes down.
It washes away.
Through the endless rain.
You have no escape.
When the rain won't stop.
When the rain decays. 
Watch the raindrops fall.
Watch the raindrops fade.

Out of the valley, we roam.
Into golden skies.
Outwards towards your goal.
As the eagle flies.

A World We Share

Claude Debussy - Arabesque No. 1
performed by Myra Arnaudov

From the tentacles of star ejecta
Swirling in our blood
We’re swimming on the edge of night
We’re floating in a cage of light

Who I was before I held you 
Tenderly I can’t recall
You pulled me from the edge of night
You built me in your cage of light

We’re renaissant–
Don’t waste it
Trying to cradle water beads 
Just start one fire before the freeze

Caged in light
Take flight
Don’t give up flight
Can’t give up flight

We don’t need to manicure the claws
Of every specter 
Tearing down our hull
Just cause we’re dancing on the edge of sight
As we’re flying in our cages of light

And if you have to go dismember nothing
Just give it all and
Suddenly you’ll skate the edge of night
Explode together with your cage of light

We’re renaissant–
Don’t waste it
Trying to cradle water beads
Start just one fire before the freeze

Caged in light
Take flight
Don’t give up flight 

No eye
Can simply see
The light around us is a dream
Less than a dream
Unless we dream up ourselves
Unafraid of the deep
Unafraid of the dark
Unafraid of the light in our 
Cages

Hey,
today, I wanted to share my rendition of Ricky Nelson's "Lonesome Town" form 1958. I personally got to know the song through Paul McCartney's version. I wanted to create a very simplistic version. If you enjoy this version, please leave a like, repost or follow. You can also write a comment with constructive feedback or your thoughts...
Have a great day!
Thanks for listening :)

Lonesome Town - Ricky Nelson (Acoustic Guitar-Cover)

El Capitán

First recorded in March 2023. 
From the album After Bar Sinister.

It's a song about pre-conceived ideas.

Lyrics

Now you're looking through the remnants and the haze.
And a memories just a picture that must  fade. (away)

I can tell you wanted to leave before you go.
But if it's so nice to meet me, say hello. 
Hello. (hello)

Oh, if history can teach us just one thing.
It's that we all end up right where we begin.
(it's a sin)

I can already watch you leave before you go.
I can already hear goodbye as you say hello. 
Hello. (hello)

Can you hear the peels of the liberty Bell?
As the jack-boots are marching under a grey spell.
Can you hear the growling and wailing in woods? 
Where the Monsters are lurking and up to no good. 
Can you hear the echoes of summer on  grass?
As the task master tasks you and sets you to task.
All the good children que sera at the moon.
Which is floating in space like a carnival balloon. 

Oh, the danger in a meeting, good to go. 
And if you give me the wink then I would know. (oh for show)

I can already see your smile begin to go.
As you open up the door and say hello.
Hello. (hello)
Can you hear the peels of the liberty Bell?
As the jack-boots are marching under a grey spell.
Can you hear the growling and wailing in woods? 
Where the Monsters are lurking and up to no good. 
Can you hear the echoes of summer on  grass?
As the task master tasks you and sets you to task.
All the good children que sera at the moon.
Which is floating in space like a carnival balloon. 



Hello [2024 Remaster]

A big THANKS to the great contribution from Ian Collins: @ian-211 !!
Vocals of the other guy in the stroy, trumpets, percussion and production by Ian.
A story about an "old friend" entering the house of an "old friend" but the latter doesn't remember him at all...

LYRICS:
________________________

"Hey Marvin, Is that really you? I can't believe I really see you in person after all these years"

I happened to be just around the corner
I thought I’d just drop by
We could have a cozy cup of coffee
I haven't seen you quite a while

At first I hardly recognised you
But I guess that I look older too
Look at your house, look at your garden
You seem to have changed your point of view

And I see the pictures on your walls
Faces I don’t know but they seem to mean a lot
And I remember who you were
Frightened of the crowd, never in the spot

Then it's Marvin turn: 
"Oh no....It's that guy. Thought I'd never see him gain. What's his name?"

We don't have a thing in common
I don't remember where we met
Weren't you that guy at every party
Trying to bum a cigarette?

Telling tales and selling stories
Breaking hearts with what you say
Finding ways to make your world more complete
But hurting others onthe way

Yes I have pictures on my wall
Faces you don’t know but you don't have a role
And I remember who you were
Profit from the crowd, never had a heart

Visitor: 
I leave now but we must meet again
We got something good that needs to be maintained
Marvin:
Go now, close the door behind you
I wish you the best but I'm not your old friend...

Together:
I see the pictures on your walls / I have pictures on my wall
Faces I don’t know but they seem to mean a lot / Faces you don’t know but you don't have a role
And I remember who you were / And I remember who you were
Frightened of the crowd, never in the spot / Profit from the crowd, never had a heart

Old Friend

Old Friend (with Ian Collins)

Sneaky Russian, how do you do?
Bet we're thinking just the same as you.
Should we give ourselves a talking to?
What a world.
Oh, American, how do you plead?
Bet you'd like to see us on our knees.
Are you too wrapped up with greed?
To make it work.

Standing out in the crowd.
Why you all gotta talk so loud?
And what's made you so proud?
Of all your words.
Oh, china-man what do you say?
Could we all be friends one day?
Shall we put the bad things away?
We can all be here to stay.
I guess our time is running out.

Can't you all just get along?
We can't all sing the same song.
When neither one is wrong.
The fighting carries on.
And on, and on, and on.

Half cut with my friends.
We're sorting through.
We'll sort it out.
This world spins round.
Within or without. 

Three sheets to the wind.
We're sorting out.
Just sorting through.
Without a clue.
We lack the clout.
To figure it out.

Sneaky Russian hasn't the means.
The follow up to having a dream.
Contemplating some expensive jeans?
But they are cursed.
You Americans a-wouldn't know.
Why they made the flowers grow.
Not everything's for show.
Some things are work.

Them chinaman digging the ground.
While we're all just fooling around.
Work sixteen hour days.
So the outcome might be swayed.
I guess our time is running out.

Well then Russian what do you say?
Could we make it up to you some way?
The clock keeps ticking on.
The fighting carries on.
And on, and on, and on.

Half cut with my friends.
We're sorting through.
We'll sort it out.
This world spins round.
Within or without 

Three sheets to the wind.
We're sorting out.
Just sorting through.
Without a clue.
We lack the clout.
To figure it out.

The workers plod along.
The fighting carries on.
And on, and on, and on.
Om.

Sneaky Russians

God, give me style and give me grace.
Give me something I can grow.
Give me something I can taste.
Now, give me somewhere just to be.
Give me rock and give me roll.
Give me heart and give me soul.

I'm falling.
Deep is the valley which no light can penetrate.
I'm falling.
Deep is the chasm when you sink into the waste.
I'm falling.
Out. Out.

You, give me the freedom to use.
Give me fire for the fuse.
Give me someone as a muse.
Now, tell me what you wanna be?
Give me pockets full of sight.
Give me strength to win the fight.

I'm falling.
Deep is the valley that no light can enter in.
I'm falling.
Deep is the chasm in which I can sink within.
I'm falling.
Out. Out.

I'm falling.
Deep is the valley which no light can penetrate.
I'm falling.
Deep is the chasm when you sink into the waste.
I'm falling.
Out. Out.

I'm Falling

I’m amazed that I still try
Truth replaced by compromise

**Laxá & Heima Kvartett - "1 Ket"**  Dreamy Post Rock

A contemplative journey through light and shadow, "1 Ket" unfurls with delicate, melodic guitar patterns that glimmer like the first rays of sunlight breaking through a misty horizon. The strings of the Heima Kvartett weave a luminous tapestry, their rich harmonies gently ebbing and flowing like waves meeting a quiet shore. Slow, driving drum beats pulse steadily beneath the surface, grounding the ethereal atmosphere while subtly propelling it forward.  

Each note feels like a breath, suspended in time, as the piece builds with a tender patience, evoking a profound sense of introspection and longing. Laxá & Heima Kvartett deliver a masterclass in restraint, crafting a soundscape that is as much about the spaces between the notes as the melodies themselves. "1 Ket" is a dream wrapped in sound—a delicate balance of melancholy and hope, perfect for moments of quiet reflection.  

1 Ket by Laxá [Dreamy Post Rock]
