In memoriam, the bombing of Guernica, Spain, April 26, 1937. A lamentation in music.

And in 2024, for the injured, displaced, and departed around the world as invading forces of tyranny rain down death and destruction upon innocent people.

I literally cried as I updated my old composition about the bombing of Guernica. 

Originally composed in GarageBand, I finished the first version of this song on April 26, 2013, not consciously aware that the date was the anniversary of the atrocity committed by fascists against civilians during the Spanish Civil War. I had had ambitions to create an animated short about its history and Picasso’s famous painting when I could afford the technology. So my first step was to use available resources and create the music, which I did 11 years ago. I have yet to produce the animation. Maybe someday. The cover art gives you an idea as to how I envisioned the graphics for the animated short.

This Guernica composition is my first attempt at composing neoclassical music. As a girl I would sing and hum made-up symphonies as I conducted an imaginary orchestra. I’ve got hundreds of improvised concertos, sonatas, fugues, and arias deep in my memory banks that sometimes creep into my contemporaneous music.

This week, as the anniversary of Guernica approached, I imported my old music file into my current DAW and refreshed it, adding French horn, the first instrument I played as a young student. I also added audio of propeller planes recorded live in March and April 2024. And I pushed the previous violin and cello parts to the limit, so if you hear a screeching violin or a groaning cello, it’s intentional; war gives millions of reasons to scream and wail. The composition’s 8-chord structure is repeated as if to state the obvious — we, humans, have yet to contain our violence individually and collectively. We witness and experience the horror of mass murder and war around the globe. Every. Damn. Day.

I realize my song probably isn’t going to be a favorite for listeners, not my usual chill music. But I’m also a firm believer in the idea that sunlight is the best disinfectant. With this music about Guernica and the history of 1937, I am reminded how far we’ve come, and yet, how little we’ve changed. But change we must, and I believe humanity will change for the better. The question is when.

Guernica

The scorching sun, the dazzling scenery, and getting drenched in sweat every day make me wish autumn would come quickly. But as soon as I see signs of autumn, I start to miss the summer that I used to hate.
In fact, maybe I do like summer.
Thank you for the thousands of memories.

J’ai pas voulu entendre depuis le fond de moi
J’ai pas voulu comprendre ce p’tit “je ne sais quoi”
J’ai pas voulu attendre qu’il gagne au fond de moi 
J’ai pas voulu l’ entendre, j’ai pas voulu l’recevoir.

Bébé du fond de moi, j’ai pas voulu l’recevoir 
J’ai pas voulu entendre, j’ai pas voulu l’ recevoir 
Tu sais qu’au fond de moi, j’ai pas voulu l’recevoir
J’ai pas voulu comprendre, j’ai pas voulu recevoir 

J’ai pas voulu d un présent que j’n’méritais pas
Même si t’étais un ange tombé des cieux pour moi
D une autre histoire qui tomberait à l’eau. De là
J’ai pas voulu entendre, j’ai pas voulu recevoir

J’ai pas voulu entendre, j ai pas voulu recevoir 

J’ai pas voulu l’entendre depuis le fond de moi
J’ai pas voulu comprendre ce p’tit “je ne sais quoi”
J’ai pas voulu l’attendre 
J’ai pas voulu entendre, j’ai pas voulu recevoir.

J’ai pas voulu entendre, j’ai pas voulu recevoir 

J’ai pas voulu mais mes deux bras s’ouvraient déjà 
Mon coeur battait si fort, mes yeux ne voyaient pas 
Que si l’esprit résiste, je m’envolais déjà 
J’ai pas voulu entendre, j’ ai pas voulu recevoir 

Je n’ai jamais voulu voir
Que parmi mes fêlures, 
Ta lumière passait déjà…..


                                  I didn’t want 

I didn't want to hear from deep inside me 
I didn’t want to understand this little “I don’t know what” 
I didn't want to wait for him to win inside me 
I didn't want to hear it, I didn't want to receive it

Baby deep inside me, I didn't want to receive it 
I didn't want to hear, I didn't want to receive it
You know that deep down, I didn't want to receive it 
I didn't want to understand, I didn't want to receive 

I didn't want a present that I didn't deserve 
Even if you were an angel fallen from heaven for me 
Another story that would fall apart. From this 
I didn't want to hear, I didn't want to receive 
I didn't want to hear, I didn't want to receive 

I didn't want to hear it from deep inside me 
I didn’t want to understand this little “I don’t know what” 
I didn't want to wait for it
I didn't want to hear, I didn't want to receive
I didn't want to hear, I didn't want to receive 

I didn't want to but my two arms were already opening 
my heart was beating so hard, my eyes couldn't see 
That if the spirit resists, I was already flying away 
I didn't want to hear, I didn't want to receive 

I never wanted to see 
That among my cracks, 
your light was already shining…..

A song about a long-distance relationship.

MAYBE SOMEDAY (c) JunkHeap Jan 26 2024

She loves him, he loves her.
Living far away from one another due to circumstance.
Occasions where they meet and their love blossoms.
The hardest time is being apart when you so want to see them.

She doesn't have the money, he's flat broke.
Travel seldom happens, but they won't flow apart.
So they speak through their phones;
work hard for the next time when they can hold each other, 
so, so close,
lost in the moment.

Their love it makes them work so much harder,
to live together and share their worlds.
Maybe someday, but not today.
 
The crescendo building 
near Iguazu Falls in Argentina,
that's where he wants to say the words to her.

She dreams of the quiet of an old growth forest in BC, 
let the trees share their wisdom, 
while they stare in each others eyes.
She's not going to lie, she melts when he looks deep.

Br.

Maybe someday.
Sippin’ hot chocolate on a train going to nowhere, 
holding hands...
Sleeping in on a rainy day, making sure not to plan anything, 
so difficult these days.
Their hearts feel, and they can dream.  
It'll happen where they can both meet, and be together,
be together, forever.
Maybe someday.

Their love it makes them work so much harder,
to live together and share their worlds.
Maybe someday, but not today.

uh, uh, uh ohh...

outro.

Maybe Someday

Behind You

L'Arbre des Âmes pourrait être l'endroit le plus sacré pour certaines peuplades, et leur permettrait de communiquer avec leurs ancêtres, ou faire l'objet de certains rituels .... 
Son accès est souvent interdit au étrangers ....
À quoi ressemble-t-il? 
Je vous laisse l'imaginer en écoutant ce nouveau concept.

***************************************************************************************************

The Tree of Souls may be the most sacred place for certain peoples, allowing them to communicate with their ancestors, or be the object of certain rituals .... 
Access is often forbidden to outsiders ....
What does it look like? 
I'll let you imagine as you listen to this new concept.

Addictions

Hold me

Inertia

Written and recorded before breakfast. I  later re-did backing though and used subscription to re-upload 

Please let me let you down
I'm just a clown
My mind isn't sound 
It's known around town
Could you let me let you down?
Do let me lay about 
I've never been stout 
In my struggle with doubt 
Until I get gout
Please let me lay about 
Why don't we embrace love?
Why don't we embrace love?
Why don't we embrace love?
Embrace love
Would you let me let you lie?
Let your heart calcify 
I couldn't let myself comply 
Quite brave for a wise guy 
Would you let me let you lie?
Never could let you let me down
With words and deeds that confound
So let's wear a long gown 
And watch the sun going down 
Never never never let me let you down
Never let me let you down

Never Let Me Let You Down

Hold My Hand (2018) Anthology CD1 Track 12

Spinning Into Control (video edit)

Heavy Punk Rock 'n' Roll band turns into Synthwave nowadays! Brand NEW album "Ultraviolet Cosmos" available NOW!

I love making music that soothes, inspires, and rejuvenates.

Downtempo, chilled Lo-fi, non-AI music set to hip hop, pop, and jazz beats. Lover of Boom Bap.

My creative journey began as a visual artist, and now I'm concentrating my energy into creating music that can instantly impact minds and moods for the better. 

Almost all of my music is chill @ -100 bpm to hopefully stimulate calm and feelings of well-being in listeners as it does for me. 💙

I don’t use AI or samples. My music is original, digital, and composed using a MIDI keyboard and DAW. I also record live LoFi audio of ambient sounds such as birdsongs or rainstorms using an iPhone or a microphone connected to laptop.

I’ve been called Rebecca of Sunnybrook like the children’s book because of my birth name but call me Beck like my friends do. I chose Sunnybeck to use as my nickname as I’m an eternal optimist and love the sun.
