Stann - Demanding Demon (Remix)

"Is It a Crime" by Sade is a soulful masterpiece that explores the depths of longing and the vulnerability of love. With its stirring lyrics and poignant melody, this track captures the raw essence of confessing an overwhelming love and questioning if such depth of emotion is ever too much to give.

Sade's timeless voice weaves a story of romantic surrender, where the heart is laid bare in hopes of being understood. It’s a song for anyone who’s ever felt the pull of love so strong that it transcends reason, demanding to be acknowledged.

Whether it’s the first time you’re hearing it or the hundredth, the sample MOLA uses from "Is It a Crime" remains a hauntingly beautiful ode to the power of love and its complexities, extending his remix in a modern heart.

TOO DEMANDING

David Olivar Character Demo

excerpt: "Manual of the Mustard Seed Garden"

….He should then begin to study the brushstroke technique of one school. He should be sure that he is learning what he set out to learn, and that heart and hand are in accord. After this, he may try miscellaneous brushstrokes of other schools and use them as he pleases. He will then be at the stage when he himself may set up the matrix in the furnace and, as it were, cast in all kinds of brushstrokes, of whatever schools and in whatever proportion he chooses. He himself may become a master and the founder of a school. At this later stage, it is good to forget the classifications and to create one’s own combinations of brushstrokes. At the beginning, however, the various brushstrokes should not be mixed. (26,27)

Thanks Ma G lol
Yesterday was such a tough today emotionally & spiritually. My heart & mind is toggling between fear & faith. Bellowing to the heavens asking God to show me my purpose during this lifetime.

This future faked inheritance that was "gifted" through "promises" of deceit. It is true that there is a trickster energy laying waste to my sense of self. I remember the mustard seed. & I think of how easy it is to be consumed by divisive internal dialogue. Pondering what it means to be in alignment with a uniformity; singularity.
 
I think about the Manual of the Mustard Seed Garden:
'To keep my heart & my hand in alignment.'

It's quite a challenging time seeing myself fall into bits and pieces. To hardly imagine what peace of mind, loving compassion, and non-attachment felt like. I keep asking for a sign but this is not righteous,  is it?

The Demand for a Sign
16 The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.

2 He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ 

3 and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. 

4 A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Jesus then left them and went away.

Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Boy
14 When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him. 

15 “Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said. “He has seizures and is suffering greatly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. 

16 I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.”

17 “You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me.” 

18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment.

19 Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

holding a mustard seed

We walk the streets where memories play,
Two shadows weaving through yesterday,
Your laughter's soft, like a borrowed breeze,
But the silence underneath brings me to my knees.
I ask the words I barely breathe,
Hoping your heart will answer me,
But your gaze drifts far beyond the skies,
And all that's left are quiet lies.

Still I stand, wide open door,
You’re someone I don’t know anymore,
It’s written in the way you move,
In every step away from truth...

Look me in the eye!
If you love me, don't be shy —
Look me in the eye!
If you love me, don't be shy —
Look me in the eye!

Your words are petals floating wrong,
They used to feel like sacred songs,
Now they fall like broken glass,
Sharp with the things we cannot ask.
I see your hands, I hear your sigh,
The truth too tender to survive,
So you stitch a story soft and sweet,
But your eyes betray the missing beat.

Still I stand, wide open door,
You’re someone I don’t know anymore,
It’s written in the way you move,
In every step away from truth...
[Chorus — Sung again by background chorus, uplifting beat rising]
Look me in the eye!
If you love me, don't be shy —
Look me in the eye!
If you love me, don't be shy —
Look me in the eye!

You smiled... but your soul stayed behind...
You spoke... but the music went blind...
I felt it before the words could fall,
The last goodbye... said without a call.

Look me in the eye!
If you love me, don't be shy —
Look me in the eye!
If you love me, don't be shy —
Look me in the eye!

"No need to lie...
Time will show the truth anyway.
Have a nice day."

Look Me in the Eye

"Time For Change" surges with powerful UK indie energy and heavy guitar riffs, giving voice to citizens demanding real change. This track channels the frustration of seeing governments promise a better future but deliver harsh policies that deepen poverty and division. Fiercely honest and urgent, it’s an anthem for those uniting to overturn a broken, corrupt system and build something better.

Time for change

Helping Hands by Dark Company.
From CD 1, 'SNAFU', of the triple CD album 'A for Acronym'.

HELPING HANDS
Rhyming time in vacuumed lines
I hear the verses soaring
On angels' breath the words of death
Like fingers they’re exploring
I feel the beat of racing wings
I understand all these things
Yet they are gone by morning

Dreaming scenes in deadbeat schemes
All are on back burners
Spirit words that just I heard
Said all the souls are learners
I know the touch of tender love
I also know it’s not enough
You need the ground that’s firmer

Corporate kings and financial things
Beyond our understanding
You can’t own the open sky
Not even by demanding
I like to think of hands in prayer
Though they’re just another layer
No one is left commanding

Livid sky mirrored in my eye
White cloud billows floating
When I look round there is no sound
The silence it is choking
Oh see me, hear me, give me signs
Let me feel them in my mind
Tell me, lead me to Heaven’s end
Where all that’s left is hoping
Where all that’s left is hoping
Where all that’s left is hoping
Where all that’s left is hoping

FUN FACTS:
* This is a song that Pete never sang a proper studio version of.
* His vocals were lifted from the very rough demo and cleaned up a bit.
* Well, quite a lot actually. :)
* This song is a piece of classic rock in a Britpop style.
* It is in the key of E at 91 BPM.
* All the guitars were played on Nicodemus, with a big painful hole in the thumb of the player.
* The chords in the verses are E B E C#m A E F# A Am6 E.
* In the third verse Pete (accidentally) introduces an unexpected key-change.
* There the chords are E B E Ebm G# Ebm F# A Am6 E.
* The chords in the instrumental section are E C/G D/A.
* Right at the very end it is E C7 E.
* The bass part from the last verse to the end is far more challenging to play than it sounds
* This produced a surprised "Huh? How did THAT happen?!" face on the player.
* Helping Hands is one of those magikal Dark Company songs that can invoke goosebumps in the listener, perhaps slightly surprisingly.

Dark Company: Helping Hands (demo)

I write and play guitar, sing lead and backing vocals from my home studio, in Norwich UK. I love all music but particullary UK indie...

dont report me if I bootlegged ur shit, I just fw you and you aint release something I like

an extension of suciogami;

In Greek mythology, Tantalus was a king known for his immense wealth and divine lineage (son of Zeus) but also for his hubris and transgressions against the gods, which resulted in his eternal torment in Tartarus. He was punished by being placed in a pool of water under a fruit tree, with the water always receding and the fruit always out of reach, forever experiencing hunger and thirst.

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.
