AB Playlist 073 Part 2

Baby, I know you cannot hear me now 
 'Cause you're fast asleep 
 But I love you now 
 Colors inside your head go spinning around 
 Like a ferris wheel 
 Exploding and falling to the ground 
 Oh, people are screaming, people are screaming 
 My baby, she's dreaming 
 Oh, people are shouting, people are freaking 
 I'm just staring at the ceiling 
 Waiting for the feeling 
 Oh, oh but when she calls, 
 I know she's the one 
 Makes me want her harder 
 Makes me want to be a little stronger 
 Still I see monsters 
 Still I see monsters 

 Baby, I know you cannot hear me now 
 'Cause you're flying around 
 At the speed of sound 
 Colors inside your head go spinning around 
 Like a ferris wheel 
 Exploding and falling to the ground 
 Oh, people are screaming, people are screaming 
 My babies, she's dreaming 

 Oh, people are shouting, people are freaking 
 I'm just staring at the ceiling 
 Waiting for the feeling 
 Oh, oh when she calls 
 I know that she's the one 
 Makes me want it harder 
 Makes me want to be a little stronger 
 Still I see the monsters 
 Still I see the monsters  


 

I See Monsters

An original track about whatever you interpret it to mean. The title recognizing a day that is under represented generally speaking in music.  :) Experimenting with some ambient sounds through a fender Rhodes keyboard.

Tuesday Plans

Lightness is upon us
It's written in the air
Understanding is not here
Once the dream awakens
And slumber fades to light
Morning ushers out the night

A sinking feeling beckons
Not able to conceive
Lock it up and throw away the key
Take a breath and give it
Wash your face and hands
Grasp another set of new demands

It was a thing for danger 
that drew her to the light
Now and then it would ignite
Another chance at finding
Some ice inside the rough
Hope that one day it would be enough

A sinking feeling beckons
Not able to conceive
Lock it up and throw away the key
Take a breath and give it
Wash your face and hands
Grasp another set of Tuesday plans

In The Dark

It's been a pleasant challenge to craft Mark's adlibed voice.

Tried finger drumming... moments of 3/4, others 4/4... then I remembered Franco Battiato singing about 7/8 measures in Brittish folk, and... why not?

Similar doubts about the chords, I finally built a sliding harmony using groups of notes found along the vocal line.

Many laboratory hours after I got something friendly; time to jam brainlessly a pair of guitars which made some organic company to the voice.

Great temptation of singing with Mark, but I finished the vocal edition by building a final choir instead ;)

Hope you'll enjoy, and peace be with you all !!

The Parting Glass (with Markjbennett)

Being originally a very short & simple song I wrote about a traumatic event (translated lyrics below), I have been working separately on verses and refrain, then trying new ways to combine and glue them.

So, aware of changing moods along, most with tambourine in hands ;)

Letra / Lyrics:

MI ALBORNOZ HA DESAPARECIDO  /  MY BATHROBE HAS DISAPPEARED

¿Quién sabe a dónde ha ido?  /  Who knows where it has gone?
¿Quién estará conmigo  /  Who will be with me
las noches en que tenga frío?  /  the nights when I feel cold?

Mi albornoz ha desaparecido.  /  My bathrobe has disappeared.

Después de lo que hemos vivido,  /  After all that we lived,
¿quién sabe porqué se ha ido?  /  who knows why it has gone away?
Dios sabe cuánto le he querido…  /  God knows how much I have loved it …

Mi albornoz ha desaparecido.  /  My bathrobe has disappeared.

Is it any wonder that I see u 
Is it any wonder that I care
Holding on to pieces in the middle of the afternoon
Is it any wonder I go there

Pictures of a place and time that once had been
Feels just like a warm breath on my skin
Rolling back the pages of a dream that has been left behind...
take me to that place inside my mind

Is it any wonder that I wander
To a space so deep inside my mind..
Wading through the increments of all that we have ever known
is it any wonder that I do

Pictures of a place and time that once had been
Feels just like a warm breath on my skin
Rolling back the pages of a dream that has been left behind...
take me to that place inside my mind

Any Wonder

All is Well

If you're looking for a reason
for the things you need today
familiar faces and some mild diversions
it's just another way

All is well...

With the dawning of the season
could I spend some time with you
anticipating all that we would see
'fore autumn winds break through

All is well
All is well
all is well can't you see

Are you're looking for a reason
why I do the things I do
a silky body and some citrus notes
don't mind if I do

All is well
All is quite well
all is well can't you see

mmmmmmmmm.......

All is Well

Frayed and tattered fabric fills the air
Capturing a trace of what was there
Lingering in sullen places as if time stands still
Eventually...

Shadows cast their way into the room
seeking light and quelling it too soon
Relishing in ruination no one can see
Eventually...

Celebrate this time and leave it all behind
Serendipity is in your sight 
Celebrate the sun and leave the rest undone
Whatever you do
It's all up to you

Rays of light meander through the pane
Sheds itself on any who remain
Ruminating in the hallway, seeking someone new
Eventually...

Celebrate this time and leave it all behind
Serendipity is in your sight 
Celebrate the sun and leave the rest undone
Whatever you do
It's all up to you

Celebrate the Sun

IF I WAS A BIRD
I COULD FLY THE WORLD
OR LIVE DOWN BY THE SEA
WHERE THE WIND IS FREE

I'LL TAKE YOU THERE
I'LL MESS YOUR HAIR
WE'LL FIND A TREE
LIVE UP THERE AND SEE
THE WORLD BELOW

IF I WAS A FISH
I COULD SWIM THE SEA
I WOULD DIVE SO DEEP
SO NO ONE CATCH'S ME

I'LL TAKE YOU THERE
I'LL MESS YOUR HAIR
WE'LL FIND A PLACE
AND LIVE OUR LIVE'S AWAY
FROM WHAT'S UP THERE
(break)
IF I WAS A CAT
I WOULD CLIMB THE TREE
OR CATCH YOU BY THE SEA
IT'S JUST A PART OF ME

I'LL TAKE YOU THERE
I'LL MESS YOUR HAIR
DOWN BY THE SEA
A PLACE FOR YOU AND ME
WE LIVE BETWEEN,
I'LL TAKE YOU THERE
I'LL MESS YOUR HAIR
DOWN BY THE SEA

DOWN BY THE SEA

Well, there is something I really love…..you know when the weather’s been extremely hot for so long….then it rains with a storm and thunder, the earth releases this incredible smell…love it. So after the storm I came up with this track. It is a bit psychedelic I guess. I just could see myself under the rain and it feels so good…..liberating…well…you know what I mean. Have an awesome summer. Love to all. Copyright protected ©

"Changing Sky" electronic music with electric guitar and vocals. a change in the sky , a change in fortunes?  just playing around with ideas for a song,
"and I got a head that´s full of dreams
is it any wonder.
And at last a changing sky
waiting in the future
where to go, when you don´t know where to go?
where to go, when there is no where to go?

Changing Sky

Power

Turn on the radio,
Top20 breakfast show
You know my coffee just turned sour
Hey, you should be ashamed
This so called music sounds so lame
And very soon we´re gonna kick you out

I´ve got the power…
Over you

Oh you should be ashamed
Your playlist sounds so lame
I´ve got a word or two
To say to you

You say we don´t fit your plans
Of manufactured plastic bands
But we have something real
And it won´t fall through
You say you have a format
I say I´m not your doormat
Right now I´m walking over you

(musical break) 

Oh you should be ashamed
Your playlist sounds so lame
I´ve got a word or two
To say to you
I´ve got the power….
Over you
I´ve got the power…
Over you
Over you
Over you

Krissi Treganna & Samuel Aalto- Power

The mighty baritone rides again. 😎


I never wanted to push the boat out
Give you pie in the sky
I didn't promise I'd be perfect
I'm not that guy

I'd rather be cool than a danger
Risking all I see
Better a fool than an angel
Is all I want to be

I didn't promise I'd be good
Not guilty of that crime
I do things I shouldn't do
Happens all the time

Please be good to me
Don't get on my back
I'm weak and I'm a fool
Cut me some slack

I'd rather be cool than a danger
Risking all I see
Better a fool than an angel
Is all I want to be

Better A Fool

Follow the Lantern

Electronic, song. "Invincible"  
Longtime ago I had this recurring nightmare, a typical scene of being chased,  by something very frightening... 
I was running away from something very scary, down lanes, roads and passageways. In one of these dreams I ran so fast I had to jump over a fence that suddenly appeared in front of me,
 as I leapt over it I took off!  , I was flying!... flying through this city, 
 anyways, back to the point. Years later I had the nightmare again, but this time I was frightened so much I woke up ! 
 at that point I realised this was that old recurring nightmare, 
so I decided to go straight back to sleep and try to bring that nightmare back and go looking for what ever was chasing me remembering it was just a dream. And I did just that!
...in dreams you can be invincible :)

Invincible

After our previous collaboration, I was so pleased when EllE (Cycle of Hands) agreed to work with me again on this new track, both with the music and vocals. It has not exactly been an easy ride and I have to admit that at times I almost gave up on it...but I am so, so glad that we both persevered, as '4am' has become something rather special and unique. Huge thanks to EllE. She is - and always will be - a star.

Lyrics below:
There are some things that wait until the quiet
Time of night
To take over your mind before the day gets bright
When everyone’s still asleep I feel like I might
Be the only one alive so I look to the sky

I take comfort in the stars and the moon in despite
Of their distance from my room where I sit and write
Pieces of ideas from this muse deep inside
She’s the higher form I use to free my light

It’s 4 am and I am
In the deep end 
No sleep then
For me this night

It’s me and my mind
I can’t unwind 
I wonder 
I hunt for 
What is life

I Ignite a little fire to see where I am
In the A.M. I get tired but I still can’t land
Mayhem of creation doesn’t care about plans
I made when my intention was lights out by 9

But Inspiration beckons and I can’t reject the call
If it is passed to me it’s disrespect if I drop the ball
Of energy like electricity from the wall
It’s all I see and I know its me who needs to crack this vault

It’s 4 am and I am
In the deep end 
No sleep then
For me this night

It’s me and my mind
I can’t unwind 
I wonder 
I hunt for 
What is life

It’s 4 am and 
The world is small
This screen the window 
And my wall

No sounds are heard
Except my own thoughts
They go Back and forth 
And it ticks me off

My eyes are glued to this new creation 
I can’t stop, drop or leave this inspiration 
Inside me theres a key to the ignition 
When its turned There is no chance of intermission 
I’ve been hitting on something much bigger than fiction 
I know Because it comes straight from my deepest intuition 
It can’t wait to escape from everything I’ve written 
Leaping from the words the moment you see em

So tonightt I am defying my sleep cycle 
Gonna try to give life to these dreams that I pull
From the hat on my skull That been getting too full 
With ideas and scenarios playing like a film roll 
On repeat so I need to hit focus and record
Can’t miss a thing double checking every cord
I know that the final piece is my only reward 
I blow through minutes and hours with every step taken towards
My gold

Lyrics

Verse 1
Hey summer, where have you gone?
you've left me here all alone
Heatwave, bring on the storm
and wash my sins away

Chorus
Summer's calling, but I'm locked away another day
Summer's calling, but I'm locked away....

Verse 2
Heartache, leave me alone
find someone else to play
Fires rage, in the sky tonight
there's broken glass in the moonlight

chorus 2
Summer's calling, but I'm locked away another day
Summer's calling, but I'm locked away....

you can see the light
you can see the light in your eyes

When Mamoru sent me his beautiful unique interpretation of this great classic from Carole King, it was with great delight that I began working on it. It needed some piano, and so I asked the wonderful Mr Jamie Rhind, and he added some magic keys, the icing on the cake!
We hope you enjoy our take, and the big strawberry moon tonight.

I see you strutting
Standing on my head
Going round and round
I see you coming

La la la la la
La la la la la ....

If only they could see
All the things you do
With all of my heart
I promise you
I will rescue you

I see you strutting
Standing on my leg
Going up and down
Over walls and up the trees
I see you running

If only they could see
All the things you do
With all of my heart
I promise you
I'll rescue you

If only they could see
All the things you do
With all of my heart
I promise you
I'll rescue you

Whispers from the corner, as I walk on by.
Whispers in the corner, seethe and sigh.

You know me so well yet you cannot feel my pain,
tis the solitude messing with my brain,
then the night comes and saves me once again.

Whispers from the corner, let me know.
Whispers in the corner, say you better not go.

It's days like these, I find it so hard to breathe,
the uncertainty of being how I am,
then the night calls and saves me once again.

Another long day to get through,
another long day to get through.

ANOTHER WORLD

This song is my attempt to process the wrenching incident that took place in my hometown on Memorial Day.  My hope is that real change will come from George Floyd’s murder though 2020 is seeming eerily similar to 1968.  
Tech note:  the jet plane heard in the recording was not intentional, just bad timing.  ***Updated with live drum kit 3/26/2023.***

Close your eyes
Til you can see it
look inside
Til you believe it 

A weight is upon us now
Digging itself a hole...
When it seems it’s beyond us now
It’s time to take control..

Free your soul
Til it confounds you
Take the time...
As it surrounds you

I see you lying there
Reaching for your last breath
Your future is dyin there
While the whole nation wept

A city cries
Beneath the skies
We gotta try 
To get it right...

Get It Right

The Letter                                    Janine Levinson 2020

Guitars by @unearth-noise

 “Sticks and stones can break my bones
But words can never hurt me.
Well enough to be left alone,	
I try to get up early.

“It’s been a hard luck life for sure;
I never I found you.
Substitute these working hands and industry
For arms around you.

“I’d like to think I’d know your face.
I’m bettin’ you were pretty.
Sarah girl, you would want to know
I’m keeping myself busy.

“It’s been a muddy row to sow;
I kept your letters.
And this old balding tired smile pulls the plow
For something better.

“It’s no use to wonder, 
If I had I might have found
Another love, another life, but
Words from you were like my plow --
They unearthed my roots
And brought me water.
A thirsty and unbroken vow: 
I would never plow you under.
 
“Sticks and stones, my earthly bones,
Tell me that you’re happy.
Tears to seal the envelopes
As I stand wide and sturdy.

“It’s been a hard luck life for sure.
I never I found you.
Substitute these working hands and industry
For arms around you.”

My Indifference 

Inspired by Xanylovem's "I Flirted with indifference, Never do that " 

By Tainted Icarus & AL' Z (https://soundcloud.com/al-z-z-z)

Lyrics: 

What happened to the green
And to those who love to dream
About living in peace and harmony

The world turned upside down
Green gives way to the brown
Never learned to leave it be

No, no,  don't you cry 
Wipe the tear drops from your eyes
I've given you a chance or three

The rich they've had their way
And the debts you all must pay
And you can blame that on yourselves

Blame my indifference on yourselves


What happened to the blue
And the creatures that swam with you
Not a drop that's left to drink

Fret not and roll the dice
Ignore the facts the price
Not a lot of time left to think

No, no,  don't you cry 
Wipe the tear drops from your eyes
I've given you a chance or three

The rich they've had their way
And the debts you all must pay
And you can blame this on yourselves

Blame my indifference on yourselves

My indifference on yourselves

My indifference


Notes:  Much could be said about this piece...but probably best covered by...something I care about and something I worry about preserving for those who have yet to arrive. 

As is customary with my work... is it perfect...no...but something I hope will move you none the less!

If you get a moment I would encourage you to stop by Al' Z's profile and share some love with one of Soundcloud's very own guitar gods!  He will refuse that compliment...but its one he deserves! Great artist and certainly a brother!   

I hope everyone is well and staying sane in these crazy times!

Peace and love my brothers and sisters! 
Tainted Icarus
