dig the punch bass drum. A very theatrical vocal performance I like it

this has a real harry chapin vibe. . really nice vocal delivery . not easy to do with such conviction

Listening again. Really atmospheric vibe on this. Like it.

like the hpopeful message...seeing the stars from far away gives the sense of universe perspective and really how tiny we are.  but thne hope is not a plan and it takes active engagement to change the wrong/evil that is around us..

Amazing, energetic vocals, and I like the catchy rhythmic beat :)

Nicely done John. Quite a song for the times.

this is really great..like the vocals and energy behind it

This is really good.  I love lyrics that tell a story and you sing it so well!

John Stone

These are dark dark days and dark dark nights 
Do our best days lie behind us? 
As I made my way on frosted feet 
Would I stumble, would I fall?
I lift my eyes in search of light
Only clouds fill the horizon 
In the dark I see  there no-one near
Is  there nothing to rely on? 

But surely there are better days
The beating of the drum 
Will fade away, the clouds will clear
Are there better worlds and better times and better thing to come?

Then I saw the star
It’s courageous light
Had travelled far 
To be there that night
Pushing through the clouds
‘cross the scudding  sky
A message from afar
And it gave me hope that beyond the night
There’s a blazing sky
That’s filled with light
There are better worlds 
and better lives
And brighter days by far
I remember that one night I saw the star.

So I looked around Though the light was dim
but my eyes grew strong from the fire within
Now I see that there are other’s near
With their eyes ablaze as they conquered fear
And we walked together arm in arm 
As together we would Am feel no harm
Though clouds may still obscure our view
We could feel a future better, bright and new

TOUR DE LA TERRE (around the earth) by ZITOU ITOU & CECILIA SPECIAL

Bonjour j'ai le plaisir de partager avec vous le nouveau titre de M'Z
Désert d'arcade
https://youtu.be/uQGogtDzon4

C'est une réadaptation d'un des titres initialement joué avec le groupe Adelphya 
Vous pouvez l'écouter sur mon Bandcamp 
https://matzizrecords.bandcamp.com/album/d-sert-darcade-video-in-description

et sur toutes les plateformes de streaming
https://music.imusician.pro/a/U55DcSza/

Plutôt que de me relancer dans un format album je vais sortir un morceau par mois (avec un projet différent chaque mois) pour les temps à venir, on va voir...
Ici c'est filmé à La Barraque (Mirepoix 09) merci énormément à Samantha Colom pour les prises de vue et l'étalonnage !!

M'Z est un projet façonné par une grande diversité de musiques :
Canterbury, Progressif, Rock in opposition, Metal, Electronica, Space rock, Noise, Jazz, free-rock, Ambient, Psyche, Heavy, Punk, Drum'n bass...
Mené par Mathieu Torres par ailleurs, guitariste et compositeur dans différents projets artistiques
(The Diogenes / Matziz / La théorie des cordes / Zhorhann / Dirt in the wind / Urban BallShit / Inland Motel / Collectif La Barraque / Aux arts etc / No Skeletons / Musique à l'image / Adelphya...)

L'idée directrice du projet M'Z, pour la synthétiser au maximum, est de créer des parallèles entre des concepts poétiques ou philosophiques, les émotions et la musique, sans poser de barrières esthétiques ni de contraintes moralistes.

Né du besoin vital de créer, fin 2017, M'Z a depuis réalisé une centaine de concerts (Café-concerts, Festivals, Off, Divers concerts de soutien, Rues, Marchés, ...)

et sorti 4 albums (qui ont tous eu très bonne presse), 1 EP, 2 singles et plusieurs vidéos.

Desert d'arcade - M'Z - Vidéo In description

It's not often that an entire nation suddenly has its hands unshackled, its mouth ungagged and its cell door left ajar with an open invitation to leave the darkness and step into the light.

So, Syria, what's it to be?

Hmmm...?

Mother Syria

Hold my hand up to the sun to reach this smouldered rubble
Lift my eyes again with little patience left in trust
Assad years, father and son, each the devil’s double
Gassed and burned my cradle nation to blood-soaked mental dust

With his face alight the new guy’s mission, pure, sent from heaven
Promises truth, gold, light and god in his virgin presidential pledge
In the dead of night autocracy voted AK47
New boots crush freedom’s fingertips, as they’re clinging to the ledge

Mother Syria at the crossroads, will your ancient beauty shine,
That cradled understanding of things earthly and divine?

Mother Syria at the crossroads, will your ancient beauty shine,
Or should we prepare the palliatives for your sectarian decline?

Mother Syria at the crossroads, will your ancient beauty shine,
On the path of sane humanity or on diabolos’ design?

Mother Syria will you renounce the suicide bomber’s blast?
Maybe seek out peace at last?

Mother Syria   ...   with Seagull and David Dunham

Ils ont la part du lion , les plus malins
Ils écrasent le monde les plus malsains
Ils imposent leur pouvoir avec des lois d'airain
Ils savent toujours vous briser les reins
Des gens faibles et peureux
Des gens qui sont si malheureux
Qui pensent qu'il leur faut un père
Mais ce père est en fait un pervers
Alors, le pouvoir laisse loin derrière
La justice et l'amour pour la guerre
Mourir pour eux mais dans l'ordre c'est important
Les gens donneront tous leurs enfants
Un jour après tous les cimetières
Et après toutes ces mises en bière
Les survivants prieront les mères
De pardonner toutes ces guerres

Living with you is so sweet

Cast of Characters:
E Ruizzo-- @ruizzoidman21centurions --Manuel-- composition, lyrics, Squier Stratocaster electric guitar, vocals, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- piano, accordion, and horn
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Jose Ramirez nylon stringed flamenco style guitar, and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – four string Fender Precision Bass bass


This song began all the way back when Manuel was 16 and found love that summer with a girl named Carmen. He remembered her, though, and wrote this song about her all these years later. The title of the song means "Your name has the song," and the lyrics spell out the girl's charms using the letters of her name. Check out the lyrics and the translation below. 
  Using that inspiration, Manuel came up with the song structure and the vocal melodies to a rudimentary drum track with his electric guitar. He then asked Josh if the group would be interested in taking it on. Josh, never being one to refuse a challenging piece of music, and always on the lookout for interesting musicians with whom to collaborate, accepted his kind offer and created a project for the rest of the Eclectic Collecitve to join. He started the whole thing off by adding his bass, to which Ken added his innovative drums, to which Josh redid his bass, as is the typical process in the EC.
  Next up was JJ, who you'd think he'd grown up with Spanish music the way he added the horns, accordion, and piano. Then Stephen stepped in and added his psychedelic and intricate acoustic guitar to the stew. 
  It was all done, except for the mix at this point. Manuel did the honors, and did it very expertly. Stephen mastered it to give it more volume and dynamism, too, as he always does. 
  This was the first, but we hope not the last, time the EC has collaborated with Manuel, although we're all fans of the incredible music on his page. He was a true delight to work with, giving honest, encouraging feedback and helping us shape his song to meet his vision. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.


Otiginal lyrics by E Ruizzo:


TU NOMBRE TIENE LA CANCIÓN  /  YOUR NAME HAS THE SONG


Qué es una lágrima en el desierto?  /  What is a tear in the desert?
Cae sin ruido, se evapora y se olvida.  /  It falls without noise, evaporates and is forgotten.
No tiene tiempo de brillar, su vida  /  It has no time to shine, its life
es corta y su camino tan incierto…  /  is short and its path so uncertain...


Ce del calor del desierto y su sol,  /  ‘C’ for the heat of the desert and its sun,
a del adiós por el que lloré tanto;  /  ‘a’ for the farewell for which I cried so much;
erre del río que forma mi llanto;  /  ‘r’ for the river formed by my crying;
eme de miedo, de magia y de amor.  /  ‘m’ for fear, for magic and for love.


E de esperanza, de espacio rosado,  /  ‘E’ for hope, for pink space,
de espina clavada, de suelta emoción;  /  for stuck thorn, for loose emotion;
ene de noche de un tiempo pasado.  /  ‘n’ for night of a past time.


Carmen, tu nombre tiene la canción  /  Carmen, your name has the song
de todo aquello que has significado:  /  of all that you have meant:
Carmen de luz, de sonrisa y de adiós.  /  Carmen of light, of smile and of goodbye.

lyrics 

In the world of shadows, I walk alone, 
Faces all around me, yet I feel like stone,
Chasing empty smiles, they're all just for show,
No one cares to listen, it's just a part of the flow!

Yea, I walk alone,
Yet i feel like stone,
They're all just for show, 
It's just a part of the flow!

Cast of characters:

Saskiagoethals-- @saskiagoethals --Saskia — vocals, lyrics, and production
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – guitar, bass, beats, mix, production, and composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –- piano, organ, and composition

Josh wrote:
"This song started with Tez coming up with a heavy riddim and monster bass to go with it, over which he laid his clockwork rhythm guitar. He shared it with Josh, who came up with the piano and organ parts. It was pretty much done, but we wated vocals on it, so it languished on the digital shelf for almost half a year. 
  That is until Saskia heard and worked with Tez on a different open collab on his page. He then offered her this one. She downloaded it, added her superb vocals, and sent it back to the other two to review. They were blown away by her creativity and skill as a singer, and are very grateful to her for reviving the project. 
  When it was all laid down, Tez mixed it expertly, as always. Saskia took his mix, sped it up and adjusted her vocals, too. She is a very competent producer, as well.
  Tez and Josh are big dub fans from way back, and this is the latest in a couple year running series of collabs in the genre from the two of them. They are very grateful to Saskia for doing such a wonderful job of completing the song. Look for her in future collabs, both with Tez and Josh, as well as with their band, The Eclectic Collective. We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. "

I am both wonderful musicians very thankfull. This was real fun!

I have to mention that Josh made the awesome artworks! 

Lyrics by Saskiagoethals: 

I went to the love doctor
to shine his light on my loneliness
he promissed to fill the emptiness
cause
my love is gonne and since then i stayed alone
my bed is empty my feet are cold
and i don’t wanna feel already old
The love doctor said come with me
the night is young and so are we
So he kept his promise
And he warmed me with his kiss
inject me with your love
i don’ want my love back
i don’t want a quick fix i want my love doctor

This love doctor is fast (collab Llanpsych-Entheogenic Psychonaut-

Lyrics
When we were young, we were able to fly
No fear no doubt, pain just passed by

Remember The Magic

The world was big, a space for dreams
It was crowded by possibilities

Remember The Magic

We made some miracles come true
What you desire and what you dream is up to you

Lyrics:
Some people say these are the best of times, Other people say times are bad.  But don’t you know it’s always a good time when you’re around.
You always have something good to say, even on the most miserable day.

All it take is a smile from you and they sky turns from grey to blue
You’re a ray of sunshine, busting  through the clouds.
You make me turn up the music play it loud


Play it loud, you make me turn up the music play it loud.
Play it loud, you make me turn up the music play it loud.
You make me turn up the music play it loud.

Some people say this town has seen better days
 but everything looks good to me
Cause don’t you know that when you’re by my side, that’s the only place I want to be.  
Every time I see your beautiful face, I know I’m living in the right place

All it take is a smile from you and they sky turns from grey to blue
You’re a ray of sunshine, busting  through the clouds.
You make me turn up the music play it loud

Play it loud, you make me turn up the music play it loud.
Play it loud, you make me turn up the music play it loud.
You make me turn up the music play it loud.

All it take is a smile from you and they sky turns from grey to blue
You’re a ray of sunshine, busting  through the clouds.
You make me turn up the music play it loud
You make me turn up the music, Turn up the music, Turn up the music play it loud.
