wonderful... lost in the big sounds here x

Stately and atmospheric, love the vocals/ lead guitar. The drums near the end are cool too.

That's a great weebulated echo guitar tone, loving the big wash of sound, like painting with watercolours in a spring rainstorm. :)

lyrics

I believe something a little crazy, a little out there
Inconceivable, inconceivable
I believe something, now hear me out man
I have seen saucers flying in the sky, flying in the sky
Cruising at warp speed, changing direction, then disappearing
Can't change my mind
I want to believe
I want to believe
I want to believe

The truth is out there for those who seek it
I know they're out there, seen 'em with my own eyes
The truth is out there, I want to find it
I know they're out there watching from the skies

I believe something a little spooky, a little kooky
Implausible, but not impossible
I believe something, open your mind man, truth is worth finding
If you've got the nerve, if you've got the nerve
We will go down the rabbit hole and discover worlds
Beyond your wildest dreams
Do you believe?
Do you believe?
Do you believe?

The truth is out there for those who seek it
I know they're out there, seen 'em with my own eyes
The truth is out there, I want to find it
I know they're out there watching from the skies

Don't call me crazy, you're the one that's crazy
You could never believe the things that I've seen
A stable form of element 115
Intelligence far greater than our own
They come and beam you up from your home
One way or another I've got to know
Even at the expense of getting probed
I want to look them right in the eye
I want an encounter before I die

Shark Teeth and Echo Garage - I Want To Believe

I was trying to write a short and catchy pop song... I think I nailed it ;)

Welcome Down The Rabbit Hole

"Winter in the City of Vancouver": On All Streaming Platforms. Here's a landing page: https://linktr.ee/michaelfirthsellers

This is a song about mature resignation in the face of human indifference and natural elements you can do nothing about.

My thanks to Chris Curtis for his harmonies, and to Sergio Aguilar of 423 Studios, for the supremely judged production and instrumental ability he brings to every song we have recorded!

"I would say just the weather in Vancouver in the winter can be kind of unforgiving."
- Brandon Jay McLaren

"I eat out three times a day most days of the year. This is no big deal to most (city dwellers), and it is not something I am necessarily proud of - it's simply the nature of my itinerant life."
- Ben Elliot

Lyrics
Winter in the city of Vancouver
It’s brutal if you don’t have some steady pay
And any working hours you’ve gained
Don’t help to ease the pain
Of living on the edge day after day

Winter in the city of Vancouver
Hail and sleet are flaying me alive
Cos the ragged clothes I wear
Let in more than I can bear
It’s an endless daily struggle to survive

Going south from Lions Gate to Granville Island
Going east from English Bay to Coquitlam
I’m seeking work to get me through to summer
If the job’s well done, press some dollars in my hand

Coyotes snapping at my heels as I walk through Stanley Park
I sure don’t care to find out if their bite is worse than their bark!
My coffee’s cold in my two-year-old disposable Starbucks cup
I fear my hopes are so far down there’s no way to pull them up!

Winter in the city of Vancouver
Christmas snow, the first in many years
As I tramp through dirty slush
My face a cold, red flush
I brush away my bitter icy tears

Going south from Lions Gate to Granville Island
Going east from English Bay to Coquitlam
If I knock upon your door, give me whatever chore
And if the job’s well done, press some dollars in my hand

Going south from Lions Gate to Granville Island
Going east from English Bay to Coquitlam
Boss man says "Just a day, then on your way, son"
But at least I get some dollars in my hand

Winter in the city of Vancouver
A city that I love and love to hate
I’m looking for some heat,
And something good to eat
Nothing more, for now at any rate

Wow, this is the 5th song posted from the album I started using demo tracks given to me by Wou-Wou & the Wormling during the start of the pandemic! This song was inspired by the conservative agenda, which at the time was more noticeably gaining momentum, to systematically whittle away and block the rights of those groups that did’t align with their values. The conservative agenda continues to gain strength, and it is up to the people to support each other in maintaining and advancing rights (including those of groups one is not a part of).    

It has been a great pleasure working with Stricknice, Bitzone, and Wou-Wou on these tracks. We are blessed by all the support the SoundCloud community has given to our releases. We can’t wait to share more music with you all. 

I haven't done a more straight up hip hop song in ages!

Lyrics:

Hit the streets likes it’s a brand new day
Pound the pavement for the payment 
Of knowing I slay
Say hey to all my homies around my way
Say hey to all the folks just trying to get paid
What up party people dying to get laid
Let you freak flag fly high up and away
Pray to allah Pray to Jesus 
Get all Polytheistic if it pleases
Go to college and write a thesis 
Couch surf around the globe and sleep on beaches 
Who needs meat when we got peaches
Who needs warfarin when we got leeches
Use yo magic to cure diseases 
Go help somebody with yo expertises 
Take a stand against injusticeses 
And don’t give a damn if no one agrees with

You 
won’t see eye to eye with
You
Isn’t able to fully accept 
You
doesn’t want to believe in
You
Be real to your-self and stay true

Word
You know we still fighting 
To open minds to new perspectives
And hearts to other ways of being  And that’s for real
Yo

Who you got a problem with 
What you try to solve it with
Why you got that solid fist
When now’s the time to 
Listen go out and try something
Different see what chu mighta been 
Missin’ dismissin’ 
Omittin’ what wasn’t Fittin’
Your world view 
Let go of what you knew so
You can become a new you
Discover what’s now true 
To hold onto your values
And speak your truth and stay for real
While holdin’ space for others to feel
What they gonna feel and what they says their truth
But if it falls to pieces and their beliefs lead to more injusticeses 
Then don’t give a damn if no one agrees with

You 
won’t see eye to eye with
You
Isn’t able to fully accept 
You
doesn’t want to believe in
You
Be real to your-self and stay true

Yea
That right
This one goes out to all those leading the fight 
In the struggle on the day to day
Word

Stricknice, Bitzone, Wou-Wou & The Wormling, and the Couch King - You

This is probably the quickest song I've written and composed (2 days -- wow)! I was feeling stressed due to midterms, so instead of working and studying, I decided to write a song. I was just thinking about this funny TikTok I watched long ago where this girl was asking if I (the audience) truly liked my crush or if I just liked the way I was with them or the facade I had envisioned for them. I felt called out(lol)but also inspired. The mind truly is a beautiful thing. Anyways, I hope you guys like it as much as I do! Like always, there is more music to come!

<3 hemlocke springs!

Lyrics:
I fell
Deep in the art
I fell
Where did it start

(ohh) 

I fell
Deep in the art
I fell
When did it start

I don’t get it
The feeling’s a fire
I regret it
The mind is a liar

Yet I fell
Straight to the top
A weak high
Will it ever stop?

All in all it was a typical Tuesday
And he just happened to be coming my way
Surely I’m not insane

I just want love
I’ll take anyone!

I need your attention
In this frail dimension of a brain

I just want love
(Didn’t know my sturdy heart can be so brittle)
I’ll take anyone
(Gimme all your love and I’ll back off a little)

(Vroom vroom)
Then a table for two
Tell me everything you want to do to me

I just want love

gimme all ur luv

Heathrow

Dont be afraid to go die
Together we can fly

Put your hand into mine
And hold it down real tight

Please dont turn out the lights
I just get scared at night

Notice that i call you my wife
I say it all the time

And sometimes it gets so real
i know just how it feels

Together we can go steal
our love just so real

Dont be afraid to go die
Together we can fly

Put your hand into mine
And hold it down real tight

Please dont turn out the lights
I just get scared at night

Notice that i call you my wife
I say it all the time

Lyrics:
These tears can't fall
All of the time
See I feel the earth move
So I've got to get out of here
To stay alive

I see lovers eyes
Fall to the floor
In a city that weeps
Our generation
Searching for more

And you hold my fears
Now I'm tending to tears
And my fears
They got me tending to tears

And you hold my fears
Now I'm tending to tears
And my fears
They got me tending to tears
Tending to tears
Tending to tears

LYRICS:
Les fossiles de mirages 
Vous saluent d’un geste trop fier
De leurs fibrilles
La poussière vous connaît

Retouchant ses motifs d’un vent mauvais
Sur le chemin de vos regrets
La poussière vous concerne

Elle vous suit dans les
Moindres ruelles, jusqu’à
Vos médiocres hôtels
La poussière particulière

Et telle une sérénade
Par la fenêtre vient
Dormir sur vos effets
La poussière sans frontières

Sans frontières
Le désert égalitaire

Faute d’apocalypse

Un autre été arrive porté par les nuages
Et soudain vous rappelle l’Exode
… et le passage des sauterelles
(La poussière vous prévient)

Et si la langue indifférente du sirocco
Étouffe une à une les chandelles
Et même passée l’heure bleue
Du matin gris, aigri du rose
Purgé du ciel
La poussière vous déteint

Observerez figé
Au milieu d’une rue ensablée
Ce qui devient
Le crépuscule... réitère

Le sac de l’aventure toujours vide
Traîne telle une peau morte
Sur votre flanc
Mais déjà votre peau 
Est bien morte

À l’aube, Vengeur Marseille
Quittera le port 
Avec ou sans votre épiderme

Quelle différence
Ça peut bien faire?
De la poussière

Brilliantly combining the art of sound design with unforgettable songwriting, Montréal-based synth-pop duo Automelodi is back with their third full-length Mirages au futur verre-brisé out May 3, 2019. As an established and respected staple of the international community of underground hardware enthusiasts, Automelodi is led by the inspiring studio engineering and magnetic persona of singer/producer Xavier Paradis. Showcasing his master ability to design infectious rhythms, rich bass lines, and brooding hooks, Automelodi expertly crafts a listlessly romantic aesthetic embodied by Paradis’ dynamic voice and eloquent French lyrics. Automelodi’s focus on color and arrangement converges taste and technique, making Mirages au futur verre-brisé deeply engaging for both party-goers and analog synth connoisseurs alike.

Official lyric video available here: https://youtu.be/6jygjJ6g1N0

This ain't no warm embrace it's cold surrender
To the scarecrows and the bogeymen and the pretenders
I'm not feeling it like you do I'm not feeling it at all
So why are you pushing us against the wall?
Your numbers are swollen like a vein
You're swinging the polls to the right again

The island has let slip cast adrift
Its tossed in a sickening orbit
We don't recognise our homes and its cutting up our bones
So farewell to life beyond the cliffs
Stuck in a sickening orbit
Goodnight my love
Take me to the airport Europa
Take me to the airport Europa
Take me to the airport Europa
Take me into the air

This ain't no warm embrace it's cold surrender

Written, performed and produced by Stephen James Howard

Cold Surrender Again

Tamino - Indigo Night [Instrumental Cover]

France-based Brit, Stephen J. Howard, "slides buffed-up Morrissey vocal inflections through a late 80’s guitar-pop/slight post-punk juxtaposition, that is as unusual as it is beautiful." Janglepophub review of "Come Back When It's Over" 10/11/2020
"Excellent music.." Norman B (https://lifeelsewhere.co/2019/12/12/a-conversation-with-ten-katestraat/)
"An abundance of headphone moments on the one track & an absolute fine piece of music" Alice Peter-Burns (NOVUMfm.de);
"Fantastic!" Christian John (RadioWigwam.co.uk);
"This is absolutely gorgeous. Has let some light into our world today" (EverythingIndieOver40.com)

A Brexit refugee and former street busker, Stephen rebooted his music career after playing his defiant political songs at the Amsterdam Songwriters' Guild Cafe de Koe openmic in 2017. After single releases in 2019 & 2020 that gained international radio play, the band turned to recording at their tiny home studio in Amsterdam, releasing lockdown songs "Follow Where The Swallows Go", "Come Back When It's Over" and "We Live In A Beautiful City". "Puerto Sol", recorded in Geneva, will be released on 3rd June 2022.

Influences include Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Jeff Buckley, Jacques Brel, Sonic Youth, Johnny Marr and Radiohead.
