My Cross To Bear

My Cross To Bear (extended version)

When I saw you waiting by the station
 It pulled me back to yesteryear
 Your smile was kind, yet touched by life’s revision
 A picture of a life reengineered
 I recalled our shared, fleeting moments
 When laughter wove through every word
 Yet whispers filled the rooms around us
 They claimed my love was somehow blurred

Hello, Tina
 Do you remember me?
 We were halves in our sweet melody
 Though tongues have spun a different lore
 I still feel as if we were married

Your eyes held calm and careful wisdom
 As you passed by with gentle grace
 Our past, a vinyl record spinning softly
 In a loop of our remembered place
 They said the gap was misinterpreted
 A tale of power misconstrued by the throng
 Yet every pulse of my heart admitted
 Love was pure though the world judged it wrong

Time carves new stories on our faces,
 Yet leaves the heartprints of our youth;
 In every beat, a quiet, steadfast chorus,
 A bittersweet verse of living truth.

Hello, Tina
 Do you recall our tune?
 Now you lead while I hold onto
 The memories of a love once bright,
 I still feel as if we were married

You smiled—a nod to all we’d been,
 But your journey’s moved along;
 In that fleeting glance, I recognised
 That love’s just one verse in our ongoing song.

Hey Tina

[Verse 1]
The platform lights caught her stride by the train,
Her laugh like a song he’d misplaced.

A coffee cup shook in his unsteady hands—
She’s autumn, he thought, but spring’s in her face.
He froze like a ghost in the crowd’s steady stream,
His past wearing perfume she’d outgrown.
A breath, then he stumbled through “Tina, it’s me—”

[Pre-corus]
The words hung like smoke in the cold station air.
Her pause said more than her lips ever known.

[Chorus]
“Hello, Tina… do you feel like we’re still married?”

The words hung like smoke in the cold station air.
She tilted her head, half a smile she’d carried—
“I’m late,” she replied, “but it’s good that you’re there.”

[Verse 2]
Her heels were higher than her age back then,
No girl in the eyes of the crowd.
She checked her watch, not unkindly, just sure—
A woman who’s learned how to mean “I’m allowed.”
He rambled ‘bout clocks, how they lie when they chime,
How blame’s just a debt no one pays.
She smoothed her coat, said “We were both out of time—
You loved me. I left. Let’s not tally the days.”

[Chorus]
“Hello, Tina… do you feel like we’re still married?”
The platform gap yawned like the years in between.
She kissed his cheek—familiar, but not what he’d carried—
“Take care,” she called back, “you’re still in my ‘18’s.”

[Bridge]
They called it “borrowed time”—but it was mine to keep.
Her love wasn’t stolen, just sharp, like first wheat.
Now her train pulls away, no last glance through the glass—
Funny, he thinks, how the past passes fast.

[Outro]
The tracks hum a tune he can’t name, bittersweet—
A synthwave requiem, slow, in repeat.
Her smile’s in his pocket, a fossil, a spark…
Still married to seconds. She’s divorced from the dark.

Gloria Gaynor Ft. The Human League - Don't You Want Me To Survive (FG Roland Mashup)

The Eternal Life Of Dorian Gray

225 years ago William Wordsworth wrote the poem "I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud".
Such an uplifting poem for my Retro Rhymes project I thought, and here it is.

I aim to keep an 80's vibe, even though it's more of indie synth than synth pop.

Live at Lizzies SF

A soaring slice of synthpop as a love letter to a lost icon of the skies

Lyrics:
March two '69
She took to the air for the very first time
A shining white angel with delta wings
And a sonic boom with the hope that she brings
Riding four rolls Royce, sat two by two
It's luxury travel for the chosen few
London to New York going back in time
With a glass of Champagne everything is just fine

She cut through the skies

Filled with diamonds and dreamers
And the pride of two nations
Mach two point oh two
When she reached elevation
She had no other rivals
And no one could catch her
An icon, a symbol of hope in the future

Sonic booms and vapour trails
Megastars sip their cocktails
Skimming 'cross the edge of space
A thunderous angel full of grace

She cut through the skies

Sonic booms and vapour trails

A Walk in the Park(2025)🌃

So close to Robert is inspired by a lack of inspiration, a virtual Jupiter 8 synth, nostalgic ’80s procrastination, The Human League, a virtual Pianoteq, Paul McCartney, Bernard Edwards, a virtual vocoder, David Bowie, The Cure’s synthpop era, and the absence of the JX3P synth… But all of that is quite futile, so let’s dance.

So close to Robert est inspiré par le manque d’inspiration, un synthé Jupiter 8 virtuel, la procrastination nostalgique des 80s, The Human League, un Pianoteq virtuel, Paul McCartney, Bernard Erwards, un vocoder virtuel, David Bowie, The Cure - période Synthpop, l’absence du synthé JX3P… Mais tout cela est bien futile, alors dansons. 

🎙️ Verse 1
I’ve lost my way, I miss 
The sound of my old JX3P 
It’s been so long making 
My brand new virtual synth ring out
⸻
🎙️ Verse 2
I’ve lost my soul, my mind 
I’ve broken my voice, my guitar
It’s been so long making 
My brand new virtual guitar cry out
⸻
🎶 Chorus
So close to Robert, I hear a noise, I can’t hear notes 
So close to Robert, What will I do now? 
So close to Robert, I’ve got no choice, it’s out of date 
So close to Robert, What will I buy now?
⸻
🎙️ Verse 3
I’ve lost my quest for dreaming
Melodies like Paul McCartney 
It’s been so boring making 
My brand new virtual composer play
⸻
🎙️ Verse 4
I’ve lost my love, my friends 
Perception of reality 
It’s been so hard making 
My brand new virtual robot respond

So close to Robert

Crackadilly Gardens

I have always had an admiration of electronic synthesizer music. Particularly that of the the late 1970's and consequently the golden age of the 1980's, where groups like Depeche Mode, Japan, Gary Numan, OMD, Human League made their mark.

A bizarre influence was Mantovani to name a few. 

He was an Anglo-Italian conductor, composer and light orchestra-styled entertainer with a cascading strings musical signature

All these musicians were a great influence on myself and the music I now produce.

Along with the bass guitar, in which in my opinion works so well with this genre of music, I am happy with the sound produced in my compositions.
So here I am, producing my own brand of the quintessence sound.

Close to Robert is a French composer born in Scotland, pianist, producer and environmental activist, formerly elected to the town hall of Toulouse, France. 
His music mixes pop melodies, crooner voice, catchy bass lines, jazzy piano and synth solos. 
His compositions would be different without the Beatles, Bowie, Gainsbourg, Bashung, 80s Pop, the Roland JX3P synth... Close to Robert likes eclectic musicians, pop in the broad sense, like Chilly Gonzales, Jeanne Added, The Divine Comedy, Lana del Rey, Benjamin Biolay, Emilie Simon, Sébastien Tellier, Get Well Soon...
Ecology takes a major place in his lyrics, in a perspective that is both realistic and optimistic, because we have no other choice but to believe in humanity.

Hiya, I am an English DJ producer, into really varied music so I hope you like tracks I place on the cloud! If so, I’d love to hear from you and please share to your friends!  dubcheq@musician.org

"Instead of shooting arrows at someone else’s target, which I’ve never been very good at, I make my own target around wherever my arrow happens to have landed.
You shoot your arrow and then you paint your bulls eye around it, and therefore you have hit the target dead centre."

Hello and thank you so very much for visiting my soundcloud page.

Timeface Project stands for the Greek musician and sound designer Georgios Garganopoulos who was born in Rüsselsheim (Germany) 12/30/1967.

In the beginning of the 80s, the artist discovered his passion for the drums and started to play in various rock & pop bands at an early age.

At the same time, he went to a private music school where he extended his know-how and additionally learned to play the percussions.

The artist was inspired to compose music by himself when bands like Depeche Mode, New Order, OMD, Yazoo, Human League, Kraftwerk, etc. popped up in Germany in the Mid-80s. He bought his first synthesizer, a Korg Poly 800, to arrange sounds and melodies on his own; followed by the synthesizers M1 by Korg and Ensoniq which broadened his repertoire.

With his dear friend, the guitarist Pietro Sapienza, Georgios committed most of his spear time to playing music. In 1989 the first professional recording took place in a friend’s small studio. Fun and the success of recording the first tracks was more important than all the hard work of this night.

From 1990 to 1997 Georgios actively played the drums and percussions in the Greek music scene and was on stage with numerous popular Greek musicians. In 1997 the artist pulled out of the active music scene but returned in 2003 with new energy and full of creative and new ideas. Up to now, Georgios produces songs and sounds in his home Studio.
