What A Way To Go - Updated

Vocals: AL' Z(https://soundcloud.com/alzzed), Tainted Icarus
Instruments: Tainted Icarus

Lyrics & Notes:

Verse:
I want, want these things to go away

Its permeated my life in the things i say

All this darkness in my heart corrupting my mind

Destroying little pieces of happiness I find

Chorus:
What a way go my friend
A little too meaningless for me to comprehend

What a way to go my friend 
One in a million left out with the recycling

Verse:
Oh if only I could get a reprieve

From all this darkness in my head

But these things just wont let me go

I'm blinded and weighted down and its so hard

So hard for me to go

So hard for me to go

So hard for me to go

Chorus:
What a way go my friend
A little too meaningless for me to comprehend

What a way to go my friend 
One in a million left out with the recycling

One in a million

Notes:
What A Way To Go - updated to a finished product.  AL' Z was first to offer to do a full run at it.  A day after he got the raw mix... he had a set of vocals back to me that, well simply blew my mind. 

That first play back took me off guard as through the speakers I heard my thoughts with a different voice.  What an absolutely cool/surreal experience and a first.  

Alex delivered exactly what the song was asking for and for that my friend..thank you. AL' Z sat through more minor tweaks than any person should be asked to.  I think the next time I ask for help...his first question will be....can I listen to the song X amount of times.  hahah 

AL'Z is a fantastic musician, composer, singer and on top of that has production skills that had me asking.. why he wasn't doing the mixing.  A lot of the music AL'Z makes is heavy on message and among my most favorite kinds. Stop by his profile and show him some love when you get a chance..  I don't think you will be disappointed by what you find.

Alex you have my gratitude for being the voice the song needed.  If you ever have need of any of my skills my friend.. they are at your disposal.  Thank you for everything.... Now we need to get a project you, Ed and myself to work on

Peace and love my brothers and sisters of the cloud

The Next Right Thing by Beth Williams

Spell

CITY OF DREAMS
I met you on the Roof
of the Roosevelt Hotel.
I threw a coin
into your wishing well.

Took the elevator
to penthouse 
number ten,
saw you from the balcony,
wanted to be friends.

Swimming in the fountain
at Washington Square.
I didn't recognize you,
you had changed your hair.

The dealers deal,
the children skate,
living in the shadow 
of the Empire State.

You walk the line of fearlessness.
You cross the line of recklessness.
and you fight the line of hopelessness.
I want to be part of the scene
when we rebuild the 
City of Dreams.

We said goodbye 
in Puertorican-Chinese.
I'm on Eighth Avenue
down on my knees.

The wail of the siren,
the roar of the train,
you said goodbye,
it'ill never be the same.

You walk the line of fearlessness.
You cross the line of recklessness.
and you fight the line of hopelessness.
I want to be part of the scene
when we rebuild the 
City of Dreams.

City of Dreams (a NYC story)

Please enjoy my latest offering in largely generative Jams. For the first four pieces i used many elements of condition and controlled randomness, trying to emulate a modular vibe without actually using a modular. And yes, i played my bass on the last track. 
And yes, maybe unrelated to this release, black lives matter just as much your or my live.  Racism is a cancer we need to cure once and for all in each and everyone of us.
Peace, Reinhard

Me And My Body

Red Fur Waving On The Wall

She had read the ancient runes in the temple.. 
"FROM HIS KISS INTO HER VEINS,
THE POISON  WILL FLOW, 
AND WHILE HIS LOVE SHE DRINKS,
HER FATE SHE WILL MEET"..

Her eyes into his eyes, she drank his kiss as if it were wine.. 
And wrapped in his loving arms, she danced with Death..

Played/improvised live on Waldorf Blofeld, 
Oberheim MC2000 as master keyboard..
Fingers, heart and nerves..
But no foot on the sustain pedal..

"The Darkest Heart" by Amy Fear. My Fault Music 2020.

The Darkest Heart

Orderly living in small houses with beautiful lawns is, of course, only an illusion! Behind this facade are real human dramas, but fortunately everything ends well...

In The Suburbs

Trying hard to put some spice in my life
Whilst the fraudulent air is surprisingly rife
May as well have gutted myself with a knife
Pants down, stumble around, feel a little up and down

Maybe a chameleon hides from your glare
Look about and find that there's nobody there
I'm the emperor with no clothes left to wear
Pants down, stumble around, always been a let down

CHORUS
Who will be the last one left around?
I'm taking bets but lately I'm greatly poor odds
Who will be the last one to be found?
I'm taking bets but holy crap its in the lap of the gods

There's an argument I've been here for too long
Of course the answer is that you've got it all wrong
Take another breath from your fragrant bong
Pants down, stumble around, feel a little up and down

Taking pot-shots long after I've disappeared
I look so different when I am sporting  a beard
Only half the population noted and cheered
Pants down, stumble around, always been a let down

CHORUS

Always Been A Let Down

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!
