REACH FOR WHITE EGGS IN THE GREENFIELDS

Retro's BIG ONE

I was honored when https://soundcloud.com/graphicsontelevisions asked me to remake ‘Tattlesnakes’ from their fantastic album ‘Pun’. Maybe it’s the wildest one, unpredictable but coherent, it inspired me immediately !!

I've remixed to my taste their original studio stems (drums & keyboards), adding my own vocals, guitars & more... hard recommendation of headphones again !!

Lyrics are from another of my ancient poems, where I played with oxytone & eproparoxytone rhymes (translated below but with lost effect in English).

Full versions album here: https://soundcloud.com/graphicsontelevisions/sets/another-pun-a-brand-new
Downloadable: https://graphicsontelevisions.bandcamp.com/album/another-pun
I suggest checking out the original tracks too: @https://graphicsontelevisions.bandcamp.com/album/pun !!!

Letra  /  Lyrics:

Claro que ya no soy plástico,  /  Clearly I’m not plastic anymore,
ni estoy falto de razón,  /  nor lacking of reason,
puesto que, siendo simpático,  /  since, being friendly,
de sangre es mi corazón.  /  of blood is my heart.

Claro que soy esporádico  /  Clearly I am sporadic
en locos cantos espléndidos.  /  in splendid crazy singings.

Gritos de loco dolor,  /  Screams of insane pain,
llenos de mudo amargor,  /  full of mute bitterness,
claro que ya no son gélidos.  /  clearly are not icy anymore.

Claro que ya soy simpático  /  Clearly I’m yet friendly
y estoy falto de amargor,  /  and lacking of bitterness,
puesto que mi corazón,  /  since my heart,
siendo de sangre, no es plástico.  /  being of blood, is not plastic.

Y en mis cantos esporádicos,  /  And in my sporadic singings,
claro que ya no soy gélido.  /  clearly I’m not icy anymore.

Gritos de loca razón,  /  Screams of mad reason,
ya no gritos de dolor,  /  not screams of pain anymore,
claro que ya son espléndidos!  /  clearly are yet splendid!

Lyric:
A candle in the dark
And in your own fashion
You burned it to the ground
Its sad but it's true
I can't get over you
I'm trying to breath 
But I'm choked by the fumes
Set me free
I'm just trying to breath
Let it go
Cus I can't keep hold
If I told you that I love you
Would you let everything slide
If I told you that I want you
Would I run and hide?

Once in a Life Time feat. 2nick8 & (Paploviante-E Bass)

Nice to have a song featuring Kevin (Gibbons) on vocals!

1. Not so long ago,
I thought that i was happy on my own.
Feeling no connection
Convinced me I was better all alone.

Chorus
Then I reached out,
Didn't know  that I could have such feelings
When I reached out,
I saw a door, I saw a new beginning.

2. This prison, self-imposed
A captive in the walls of my mind
'If I could just escape
There would be contentment to find.

Chorus

Instrumental

Bridge
Seems to me
What I'm saying
Life is a state of mind.
It's up to you how you live
You can change it, anytime.

This song really made an impression on me 
when I had already started playing the guitar
(more than 30 years ago...)
It was at Christmas dinner in 1979 
at my parents’ house.
At the end of the meal, my two older brothers had
a jam session. (Photo)
They played this track, with my eldest brother
Phi Van singing lead vocals and my second oldest brother
Phi Hai accompanying on guitar and singing backup vocals.
I didn't often see them sing together,
because they were almost never there for special occasions...
I told myself I had to play it and sing along.
Except that I quickly gave up...
I was all alone singing with my guitar,
and it sounded very hollow! 🙂

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since August, I set myself a CHALLENGE:
To do all my covers myself 
(recording the guitar, vocals, and mixing).
The vocals are fine, the guitar isn't quite there yet.
But the mixing is a real headache. 😩
I think it will take a lot of time and practice of the mixing.
I still have a long way to go...

_______________________________________________

I really like this song.
Since I don't know how to sing choirs
To fill out the track, I did some Fingerpicking
(I've been practicing since the end of October, it was hard...)
I did a lot of takes to get there. It's not great!
I recorded the vocals and guitar accompaniment
at the same time and in one take.
There are still quite a few imperfections...

Greenfields - Cover (The Brothers Four)

Super stoked to be working with my good friend and awesome synthmeister (https://soundcloud.com/john-buckle-166792889) once again. Thank you so much for giving me the kick up the proverbial to continue with our Elvenland saga! ♥🎵

Chained and helpless, Raewyn closed her eyes, focusing on the ancient teachings of her people. The rain in the forest, the rustle of leaves and the songs of the birds all came flooding back, calming her mind and steeling her spirit.

Her voice was firm as she invoked the Ancient Ones: "May the Guardians of the Threshold watch over me, and the Light of the Silver Tree guide me through the darkness."

As she spoke, a faint, silvery glow began to emanate from her very being, a light that seemed to grow in intensity as she drew on the power of her Elven heritage.

Tresur Heldros flung the door open, his eyes narrowing and a flicker of unease dancing across his face. "You are strong, I'll give you that," he sneered. "But you are still chained, still trapped. And in the end, you will be mine."

Raewyn smiled, a cold, mirthless smile. "We shall see, monster," she whispered, her eyes flashing with defiance. "We shall see...."

Part 2 of the final track of Then She Reaches For The Gun's 2nd Album
released in Jan 2025 - nomatesensemble.bandcamp.com/album/i-am…m-with-you.

Then She Reaches for the Gun was formed in 2021 by Mat Ward. At its essence is sound collage, Ward invites musicians, sound artists, poets and anyone interested to send him files to be used, abused and showcased ‘as suggested by the work’. They are not always musical but field recordings, spoken word, engine noises and drunken rants. Animals participate a lot too! The raw material is arranged with one phrase asking for the next in an alchemical and intuitive process that will most often feature dozens of tracks weaving in and out of each other, colliding, harmonising, arguing and laughing along the way.

Both the aesthetic and the compositional methods use what Frank Zappa called Xenochrony - the mixing together of separately recorded and rhythmically opposing musical phrases to create polyrhythmic and polytempi compositions.The work also features fragmented story telling with the human voice (in many languages) appearing unannounced throughout the tracks offering up snippets of thoughts, conversations, jokes and existential angst. The absurdity of humanities desperate claim to have any real understanding of its place in the universe is revealed through the recorded follies and genuine emotions of the artists. The project is a celebration of chance, diversity and community. It pays homage to all musical tastes and genres whilst maintaining a sense of humour and irreverence that is needed to stay sane in the climate of 21st Century contemporary culture.

Cooking Hard Boiled Eggs in a Cheap Motel in Adelaide Part 2 (Yahtzee with Mackerel on the Bed Mix)

This is a combo of one of my favorite soundtracks and one of my favorite poems. I edited and remixed the soundtrack with added strings and atmosphere and narrated the poetry myself. I hope you enjoy, <3

Cold hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight
Red is gray and yellow, white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion

Pinprick holes in a colourless sky
Let's insipid flickers of light pass by 
The mighty light of ten thousand suns
Challenges infinity but is soon gone
Night time, to some a brief interlude
To others the fear of solitude

Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsitter people look back and lament
About another day's useless energy spent

Impassioned lovers, they wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young

Cold hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight
Red is gray and yellow, white 
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion

Brave Helios, wake up your steeds
Bring the warmth the countryside needs

Connecting, creating and sharing with others has been quite a transformative experience and one that I trust will continue for years to come. I enjoy listening to musicians on SC, and try to leave encouraging and descriptive comments.
Who said retirement can't be fun!
