Nice one great tune good job.👍🎶😎

That's rock at its best - pure and honest.

This one is perfect! Class text, fantastic vocal work and story-telling, and real good music :D Sophisticated production, T.I. !

I love the guitar solo omG ! great song. totally in my mood atually :)

Amazing work in the interpretation and realization of this production!

WEEKEND PLAYLIST

Plantain Lily

(Free WAV Download available here under '••• More'; and eventually as part of my BandCamp PWWO #07 album)

Good morning all you wonderful music loving people. And what a beautiful Monday morning it is; made all the better by this enticing new track Clive (https://soundcloud.com/winkandwoo, https://audius.co/winkandw00) and I just finished. It’s our first collaborative effort; and the results are spectacular, if I do say so myself.

As to the backdrop for this piece... it feels surreal, traversing this world of sleepers, lost in their own self-created daydreams and nightmares. It’s a bizarre balancing act, wanting to play a helpful part in this underground movement of consciousness and unconditional love, while also trying to accept that there are many who simply don’t want to wake up from this troubling dream. But in the end, our fate will be shared across the entire planet. And the full range of choices must be recognized and honored, for this grand adventure to play out to its fullest potential.

The old saying ‘It is always darkest before the dawn’ seems like an apt concept to focus on these days. And it’s helpful to remember, great beauty can still arise from the murkiest of waters and most inhospitable of soils. Times might seem dark right now, and we are most definitely heading toward some unprecedented troubling chapters. But it is still just a story; the human story. And we all get to chose our roles, and play our parts. I’m personally quite fond of the ‘kindness and compassion’ approach myself. But there are as many roles to play as there are humans on this planet; so choose wisely, and follow your bliss. In the end, that might be all that matters. 

Clive and I hope you enjoy our first collaborative effort, ’Stay Asleep’. :)

LYRICS...

So long, it’s been emotional
Really, I ain’t just saying it to please you
I always miss you so much
‘Cause baby you’re the only one
Baby, you’re the only one
Baby, you’re the only one
I’ll ever need

Each year, gone so quickly
You blink and oh you missed it
At least I hope to see you again
‘Cause baby you’re the only one
Baby, you’re the only one
Baby, you’re the only one
I’ll ever need

And if I promise to be here
Same ol’ time, only next year
Would you promise to be here too?

‘Cause baby you’re the only one
Yeah baby you’re the only one
Baby, you’re the only one I’ll ever need

And if I promise to be here
Same ol’ time, only next year
Would you promise to be here too?

So long, it’s been emotional
Same way it always is when we
Do this, you know I’ll miss you so much
‘Cause baby you’re the only one
Baby, you’re the only one
Baby, you’re the only one
I’ll ever need
Baby, you’re the only one
Baby, you’re the only one
Baby, you’re the only one
I’ll ever need

So Long, It's Been Emotional

DJ Real rises from the ashes a phoenix Master Blaster
Wounds from thorns and 1000 lashes, socially distant trip disaster

How many times can I tell ya without you thinking I climbed out from hell brah
Best wars are fought in the mind ah, without ever bringing regrets and reminders

Testing my patience can't deny thus now is the time, the time's right for us
Steps to climb, we'll shine applaud us Simple dope rhymes enforce love

Return of the Real DJ. He's packing promise.
Return of the Real DJ. He's packing promise.
Return of the Real DJ. He's packing promise.

Banish the burden the beast brought to bear open ya mind to the possible (yeah)

Make these recordings, and let's make it clear Blow-up the art of hip-hop, cry no tears

Platform, protagonist, posting priorities, pumping it out for Real DJs and emcees

Lyrics ...

I want to kill, the other half i want to help.
I tried my hardest to survive this hell.
Dark clouds form as i start to cry. The 
rain drops of blood drop from the sky.
Please do right, i'm starting to lose sight.
If they ever step foot in my mind , my 
thoughts would eat them alive. My cold heart
 once pumped happiness and love. The Shadows 
with smiles i once trusted, lurk within the chamber of 
isolation. Seeing a dream, that's not what it 
seems. I just want to be free. To save you, from 
me. Why's it hard to see, you've created the 
monster, that came to be. My smile hides the 
pain and rain.  A fictional world that says they
love you, but treat you like a slave! Old and feeble!
With visions of them in a grave. Hearing whispers. 
Michael, let me take you away, to the promise land.
I don't believe one deceiving word you say!

Can't you see! Can't you see what you've done to me!
Look in my eyes! Look into my eyes! This what I've become!
I will no longer be apart of this game! You be happy when 
i'm gone! Is that what you want! Is that what you all want!
So let it be. The world will be a happier place without me 
anyway.

We thank you for listening! Spoken Word Sad Songs Sad Mix Soundtrack

Greed
By Tainted Icarus

Lyrics:
Open my eyes
Only to find
I've been lost in the race
And left somewhere behind

I reach out for you
But there's no reaching back
Gotta keep your place in line
For the pat on the back

For the greediness and all the pain it brings
The quiet and hidden hands pulling all the strings
For decadent piles of collected things
And my silent acquiescence and what that means

Just no telling what this means
You keep on collecting shit that ain't worth a hill of beans
And you keep on saying it's worth its weight in gold
And I keep on questioning the bill of goods that you've been sold

For the greediness and all the pain it brings
The quiet and hidden hands pulling on the strings
For decadent piles of collected things
And your silent acquiescence and what that means

For the greediness and all the pain it brings
The quiet and hidden hands pulling on the strings
For decadent piles of collected things
Our silent acquiescence and what means

Special thanks to:
Bill from November Sound for your time and ears...as always my friend a total respect for your talents!

Notes: 

If you are here for the second time a deep thank you.  Someone asked how far I thought I could push this track on the production end.... here is my answer and challenge accepted.  I ended pulling the track to see how close to Stone Temple Pilot's - Sour Girl I could get.  

What a ride it has been as I delved into new things and endless moments of frustration.  If Tainted Icarus were a group of other people and I was doing their mixing,  I would have choked them all at least once.  Organic, dynamic and each of them powering up their performances...but damn does that make for some difficult mixing. 

Sour Girl is a dark, heavily compressed and tricked out track...plus some killer low end

At the end of the day or weeks in this case I pushed, pulled prodded, twisted and worked with no limitations.... yeah... maybe you shouldn't use an EQ like that... but if it seemed to get me closer away I went. 

A lot of dead ends and dark, lifeless tracks as I pushed...

Something important still eludes me and I think it may be something analog.  The slight pitch shifts and elongated/slurring of the drum track and Scott's vocal tonal shift are a clue... tape brake? tape machine? reel size?  I could go on and on.  

A fun and demanding engineering project and forced me into learning more about the tools of the craft.  

Always about moving the ball forward!

With today's final print and bringing the project to a close.  I got close enough to be proud of what I achieved.  Sour Girl is peak STP and peak era of big budget productions.  Difficult to say the least and certainly a bit outgunned... but the challenge is how I learn best and there is always next time.

I hope when you hear Greed you enjoy it, you hear the hours of labor spent at the dead ends... hours spent trying to tweak a second of the track to fall in line with the theme.  It's not perfect.... but nothing I ever work on is going to be.  Its about inviting you into the space where the music was made and to share the moments captured. 

Peace and love my brothers and sisters
Tainted Icarus

Lyrics: 

Couch King
I see you fawning over our fern in the morning
you make her feel like a queen 
I see the early light dawning on you and your warming
my heart let’s sage each other and get real clean 

I feel you meditating in our bed in the evening 
gotta take time for the divine 
I feel the evening light setting on our day what a blessing
you are let’s get high and open up our mind

time to open up our mind 
it’s the third eye shine 
it’s the third eye shine 
time to open up our mind 
Let the third eye shine

I wake up early in the morn and turn the fireplace on
To warm my soul before I roll
Honor my life and feel whole
With time to be in the present of 
The moment 
Meet the sacred
Take a breath 
Get awakened 
We don’t need no green to get faded 
let go of being frustrated and feel elated
I scroll through my gratefuls let go of my hatefuls 
Let love in I am faithful and see that I have a plateful
I thank God for this abundance as I take my first glance at you for the day 
we often get for what we pray
and we often deep down mean what don’t say
you bless my life everyday in ways that I don’t even realize 
so I take this time to try and open up all my eyes 
and take count before the sunrise to recognize 

Treez of the 505
Posativity, Flowin through my inner me
Leaking out my fingertips,I'm glowing with this energy
Got it from my centering,sitting in the chi ring
I see things, dream things, i am being (Huah)
Power from the inner self, strong will, good health
Worry not about the wealth, good work always sell
Keep your mind fresh, never bet on a wishing well
Never take a left when you think you gonna fail
Blessings in abundance,I'm third eye struttin
So much passion, really somthin,like a light show 'bove me
Rocket blastin to the stars cuz we talkin to the universe
Love reach far, ain't no limitaton finna quierrl
Be a pearl in the light
Be a beautiful wit your shine
Go girls and guys
get down on the third eye shine

Get Your Shirt Here

The worrying situation for all life on this planet and my personal take on it all is a lack of vision at this most important turning point in human evolutionary history from the leadership at the top throughout the world as we plod on with our human made self perpetuating blinkered destruction, putting profit before planet and seemingly unable to break the cycle, ever since i was a kid back in the 60s i have seen nothing but the same re-vamped political nonsense and corruption at all levels of society with 0 change as we continue to follow and embrace and set further into stone the same visionless materalistic and religious idealistic values which are layered with a thick coating of personal stigmas and bad vibes we put upon each other, which over time have now been engraved and built into our psychological makeup, leaving the true vision and prize lost which is now endagering all life upon the planet and if a fundimental change and shift doesnt happen we will destory the lot on this unique floating paradise oasis garden for all life in the eternal darkness, good food for thought while i hope you enjoy this original and positive fun filled thought provoking electronic alternative rock styled triple track remix and good vibe collaboration featuring the very kewl words and vocals of the very talented Couch King Presents and ENILSounds! Celebrate life we are all brothers & sisters! Peace! :D

News: Well a lot I could say...but going through some issues right now.  So I am on occasionally...though a lot less than  I would like.   You are always my peeps and  I love you clouders as brothers and sisters.   Peace and love my friends!

Musician, Songwriter, Recording, Mixing, Mastering, Producer and general noise maker.   If you don't get that..that's on you!  

Tainted Icarus has a protest/grunge/rock type of feel.   Sharing a similar vibe and feel of great bands like Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Cult. 

Slogging it out my home studio and trying to understand the deep sorcery that is Music Recording, Mixing, Mastering.    Jesus if someone had told me how damn complicated the topic was... I might have reconsidered.   

I keep it real, listen to your music and comment.  Be supportive of myself and others and I have your back.  I stay out of the rampant game playing and focus on finding real people making music. Is that you? If so pull up a chair and PM me.  

It takes me a while to make the rounds.  If you are releasing a new track and want me to stop by sooner... send me a PM.  

Relax and enjoy a tune...or make one.  No need to run around in that haze of fury.  Peace and love!
