ハレルヤ　ベイベ　アネモネの　香りのような　きみに会いたい
ハレルヤ　ペイネ　アメフリの　香りのような　きみに会いたい

くるみ色の　愛を待って　手をつないで　蹴り上げる空
ラズベリーのチョコをひとつ　恋人のくちびるに
いろんな国　いろんな人　いろんな歌　世界平和の朝へ
投げりゃあ　おなかもすく　はらぺこのブルース

ゆらゆら　ゆらら
黄色い潜水艦　ゆらら

なんて素敵　キメラの街　地図にはない　きみのこころと
僕は似てて　わかりあえる　花のように　おだやかに
ひかりの森　カフェにふたり　ワインをすこし　世界平和の昼へ
ふわり　酔っぱらって　恋人のそばで泣く

ハレルヤ　ベイベ　音楽と　美しいきみよ　ありがとう
ハレルヤ　ペイネ　喜びと　悲しみの雨よ　ありがとう

くるみ色の　愛を待って　手をつないで　蹴り上げる空
ラズベリーのチョコをひとつ　恋人のくちびるに
なんて素敵　キメラの街　地図にはない　きみのこころと
僕は似てて　わかりあえる　花のように　おだやかに

愛の旅も　恋の旅も　きみの旅も　世界平和の夜へ
続く　くるり踊る　雪どけの　想い出と
こぼれたんだ　いつのまにか　しあわせにも　できたはずなのに
こぼれたんだ　いつのまにか　恋人の側でなく

Lyrics: 
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Hey, yeah

(Oh is that Jiwhan again?)

Life,
It started with an empty heart
I'm overjoyed I'm in the stars
Floating in the sky I'm yours, you're mine (You're mine)

Sigh,
Time goes passing by
You couldn't even know the lie
You go your way but I'll go mine (Go mine)

Ooh
In the stars
It's a life
Ooh, ooh-ooh
It's a life

Cause I wanted you, I needed you, I trusted you
Just know I've been for something new
It go one time, two times, I had three times
Cause that fourth one was hurtful on the inside

Cause fifth time was a failure
Sixth time it was my fault
I fought like I felt life
That's why I called "life for you"
That fourth try was the last one
Ah, can I ever love someone
It feels like love, but it never reaches out for you

Life,
It started with an empty heart
I'm overjoyed I'm in the stars
Floating in the sky I'm yours, you're mine (You're mine)

Sigh,
Time goes passing by
You couldn't even know the lie
You go your way but I'll go mine (Go mine)

Looking for my guys, oh my god, caught my eyes
She gonna wipe her eyes of tears and she knows
A man loved her
And then She Loved

Cause this was a life for you
Cause this was a life for you
I knew myself, and then, and then, she loved

"The original version of this song made Me who I am today: I heard #duranduran 's original version for the first time when I was 13, whilst doing homework at the dining room table, and was floored by its beauty.

By the time the song was halfway through, I knew that I wanted to make something as #haunting -ly beautiful, and set out to write #music and #poetry for the rest of My life.

This cover is a #homage to that ‘forever feeling’ -- of #dedication, and of the endless #devotion to My #musical craft. (’Till #death shall #music and I part!)

I have a #video in the works for it, and plan to release #remix -es soon!"

In a Dialogue with Gravity and Matisse's Gardens – Valse Pour Matisse

Lars Vader Beatz and Tengo's Trail - Immer Noch

An Easter message? Music against war?All wars are wrought with inhuman threads of unwarranted violence and destruction whether in Libya, Yemen, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Congo or... (place any name of any war at any time in history).
In this one, a special military pox upon Putin and his house and all those who abuse and terrorize innocents and rain destruction upon all those who simply want to live and to exist. Justice? Where? ICC - we hope you're leading the charge for justice, and NATO, EU, UN - don't look away!

 (Don't)Look Away

1)Another day, another day in this war. 
A family man asks - What’s it all for?
Have we forgotten what we came here for? Don’t run away.   

To kill a man, a woman or a child. 
There’s something wrong, wrong in their minds.   
They look to God, but he does what He does best. He looks away. Hey?   

There’s always war in a far distant land
and civilised man goes out to lend a hand.
Holy Lands? Are you having a laugh? 
Laugh away, hey…  laugh away….hey…

(CHORUS)
I CAN SEE THEM ALL - LAGGING BEHIND. 
THEY’RE NOT PART OF THIS - HUMAN KIND
THINGS GOT SLOW, SLOW IN THE HEAD. 
WHY DON’T YOU GO SHOOT YOURSELF INSTEAD?
WE’D LOOK AWAY…HEY…WE’D LOOK AWAY…HEY…YAAH

2) Armies are led by those who think they’re right. 
Tell us they want peace.    
To get it they must fight for… the love of God pray how is this right? 
Pray away. 
They say destruction is their means to an end. 
Aim their gun at what once was their friend.
Turn their back on humanitarian trends. Then look away, 
hey… they look away…

(CHORUS)     

(MID BREAK)   
Lay down on your pillow…sleep tight with your greed 
because your safe… you’ll dream… while others bleed…
and you tell me…that God is on your side…you don’t believe it…
and that’s what I despise….
then you look away…
nd then you look away…

3) They shake a fist with a gun in their hand. 
It’s an action only they understand. 
One step away… from a hellish end. 
Shake away… shake - away…  

If there’s a place I could send them all. 
Be deep space, on a hot fiery ball  
Where you can all…Happily annihilate yourselves!                                                                        Then fire away…fire away, fire away…hey…

(CHORUS)

4) One more day is too much in this war. 
The family man asks - What’s it all been for? 
His loved one’s buried with his heart in the floor. 
Please look away…

======= Lyrics =======

Blindly, drifting,

blaming others for your woes.
Why don't you look in the mirror, deep in your eyes, 
you gotta pay the price.

All the things you've said and done, 
all the things...
What have you done?

Sadly, drifting, 
won't connect with anyone.
Feeling misunderstood and too afraid to try, 
Why don't you see the sky?

So many roads you could take,
A world just waiting for you to wake-

You can't see the forest for the trees oh oh no,
Just about everything makes you freeze so oh oh,
You just keep on keep on running,
Don't look inside your mind.
You keep on keep on running, 
Hide.

But your mind knows, but your mind knows the lies, you know your mind knows why oh oh

Wildly drifting 
madly its lifting, 
step outside just stop the fight,
You know you have to try, 

You know your mind knows why, You know your mind knows why,

You know your mind knows.

Balance

...and I Am He 

Would it be wrong to not do things I’m supposed to do?
Would it be wrong to not choose what I’m supposed to choose?
To make a bad decision most deliberately?
To make a bad decision with a little slice of pleasure
With a little spark of glee, give my heart up to the devil
Temporarily?

Or permanently?
Or permanently?
Not what I’m supposed to be
But the permanent me

Would it be wrong to tell the truth knowing you’d prefer a lie?
Would it be wrong to choose to share the secrets we agreed to censor
With a smile and a snicker and a little slice of pleasure
Like the little bump of speed from a quickie in a closet
An adrenaline adventure a betrayal I can savor
temporarily

Or permanently?
Permanenty
Not what I’m supposed to be
But the Permanent me

Right as the river
I’m floating so gently on
Which side of things
Will the croupier land me on
I’m obligated
The dice man has cometh
And I am he, and I am he
The dice man has cometh
And I am he, and I am he
The dice man has cometh
And I am he, and I am he

Permanently
Permanently
Permanently

Hello partner, your ride is here.
Just slide the empties off the seat and climb in.
Don’t sit on that spring, it’ll cut you.
No, the seatbelt’s broken, wipers, too.

Where’d you say you were going?
This car doesn’t go that way.
This is a ride to the Last Star.
Don’t hold on too tight, you’ll get yourself hurt.
Trust me, you are going to a better place.

LYRICS
-------------

Adrift In a world that you can't comprehend
As you shuffle down sidewalks you used to defend
And pick through the garbage from parties you no longer attend

You know you're a stranger in still stranger lands
Where the crumbling monuments once used to stand
And they look at you funny when you ask them where to find an honest man

When you're gone, long, long gone

When they try to dismiss you, you piss on their shoes
As they fondle their falsehoods and call them the truth
If only the hunger in our bellies were so easily soothed

But you are not like them and you don't even try
No matter how rotten, you can't make them cry
You're as real as their shadows but they'll never understand why

Until you're gone, long, long gone

So you eat in the market and sleep in a hole
You drink from your hands now instead of a bowl
Stand naked before them to show how the years take their toll

And when the wild dogs come to nip at your legs
And the passing onlookers who expect you to beg
But your life was a promise and it's far too late now to renege

And then you're gone, long, long gone

This is probably the last track for the Ancillary Justice soundtrack. It's also an alternative soundtrack for Jon Mupasi's mesmerising 8-hour video, albeit just three and half minutes with my track...  I guess you could put it on repeat! Haha! It's on YouTube and mossandfog.com - Worth a look, I promise!

Timeless

Synesthesia is main motif for this song, first because of original lyrics, then as I felt like adding it more flavor with female vocals*, & finally when I recently watched some paintings about this matter**.

*Great vocal performance by https://soundcloud.com/maraoldfield is most notorious matter in this piece, where riffing parts toggle with bass-guided proggy ones.

**Due credits to https://soundcloud.com/wouwouandthewormling for ad hoc painting of the song’s artwork.

Letra  /  Lyrics:

QUIERO SABER SI HACE CALOR  /  I WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS HOT

En verano, insoportable,  /  In summer, unbearable,
todo está lleno de ruido.  /  everything is full of noise.
El invierno, silencioso,  /  The winter, silent,
que congela los sonidos.  /  which freezes the sounds.

No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold. 
No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.

Los días soleados  /  Sunny days
acompañan al estío  /  go along with the summer
y cuando llega el invierno  /  and when the winter comes
el cielo está oscurecido.  /  the sky is darkened.

No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold.
No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.

Quiero saber si hace calor (Vocals by Mara​Oldfield)

My garden’s overgrown
Now I can’t find my way through
Been ten years since I went down there    
With the good friends     I once knew
But now it’s time I found my way, it’s time I found my way
Before it’s gone

I recall a door at the end
Opened through the garden wall 
I turned from it seems like years ago     
Locked the door and walked away
But I could find the key, I could find that key
Before it’s gone

They say that door’s still there
And the path and the fields beyond
They say it will be spring again soon
And there’s a revival on the way
But I can’t believe it’s that good; nothing can be that good, 
No I don’t believe it’s that good; nothing can be that good, 
And so it’s gone

Before It's Gone

Just gonna leave this here for a few days. 
Today I learned that a dear co-worker of mine suddenly passed away over the weekend. I feel so sad for him and for his family that will have to miss him during the holidays. Just recorded this tonight and I thought it should be online even for a few days. RIP dear Hans.

Lost For Words

All Natural is inspired by the cyclical nature of seasons. Right now it's really dark and cold at home, everything is covered by a beautiful silky snow blanket. Everywhere is quiet and peaceful. But it won't be long when the nature comes back to life and you can hear the bees and birds again. <3

I will upload the rest of the ep on soundcloud bit by bit. You can listen to the whole ep already on Spotify and Bandcamp. :)

the other one: @echo-garage

Tengo's trail is like a journey into the unknown, you never know where it's gonna end. and Tengo knows it even less... unlike the other one with his sophisticated echo garage and musical 'masterplan', Tengo just starts something and sees where it takes him. he can't help it anyway, he's just too confused.
