The Audio Bin II

Wou-Wou & the Wormling & Augenmerk!

Dream

Application

https://soundcloud.com/wouwouandthewormling: idea, dices, coins, and tailored beat.
https://soundcloud.com/augenmerk: fantastic lyrics and speech.
https://soundcloud.com/esemanolain-ruizzo: music and short long singing in the middle.

This track was proposed by Alex within his https://soundcloud.com/musicbychance project: I should make a song with chords Fmaj9 - Dmin7b5 - Gmin9 - G#maj7#5, in that order, on a 3/4 - 117bpm rhythm.

I must say the first try with those coordinates already sounded very suggestive, soon melodies came jamming with keyboard (hear it on the left) and guitars. Alex offered himself to work on a beat and both decided to call Karin in as a great cherry on top of the track, which was a truly good decision, as I hope you, reader listener, agree.

Lyrics:

Full of doubts I go through the night to the garden,
fear consumes courage and feeds worries.

For the fifth time I run to the beach to look the wild sea,
fascinatedly watching the scudding water mountains

Hard to let go of fears, my heart is deaf.
However, only the bright sight counts.

The night has made off,
a few feathers still in the field
in the morning sun.

Night plumage and heavy cloths,
now they're lying somewhere else.

I am seeking the step from yesterday,
that lead me here.

I see the scarp in the stone,
in the rock I understand the night
and I hand over my doubts and fears.

Morning territory in which my breath writes.

Only the Bright Sight Counts (with Augenmerk + Wou-Wou&TheWormling) [Music By Chance]

~Gone to Be, Gone to be free!~

Can't you see those blue lights in the air? 
I only had to rise up your chair.

Be the one you care about and share.

STAR PUPIL

Love me like an atom bomb. 
Burn and freeze me while I come. 
I keep your fallout on my tongue so I can rain down in angry songs. 
black shrouds leave corpses in drains. 
black clouds rain corpses of the plains. 
would you dance with me skin to skin to skin?
my pupil stars - oh lonely! - are as wide as they are grim;  
I was lost inside your life-like dream.
I was wakened from a field of bloody wings
by tanks of  wolves that were howling at the sun;
who buried us so deeply to see what we become. 

You frack my hull with gasoline and break my skull to leave your seed. 
we don’t need needles - we’re played on ghost cassettes 
we don’t need withdrawals, we’ve already placed our bets
on bloated vultures over fed - circle buzzwords of the dead;
cash cow leaders - we’re coerced to eat our own;
and our feelings can’t be hurt when we’re just drones.
—
drowning in your lies we’ll stand up tall 
and grow a million limbs or none at all
you bruised the heavens skin 
as swallows eat the clouds 
and I will never hear another sound 
—
The armored taste of napalm lips. 
Dragon teeth to poisoned ditch. 
Lysergic sermons proved their worth. 
salute hallucinations in the dirt. 
the manics grieve for every time and space
what gardens leave the graveyards will taste
don’t need needles - we’re played on ghost cassettes 
don’t need withdrawals  we’ve already paid our debts

cheers! been invited by https://soundcloud.com/augenmerk to an awesome open collab: https://soundcloud.com/augenmerk/sets/invitation-open-collab-mein
... and magic, I had musical material, which had seemingly been waiting for this voice and words. No sax playing here, but guitar .... :D Here is text and translation copied from Augenmerks post:

Part 1:
My head a swaying dance ship, and I am a passenger, a dancer on the high seas with swell, which has already driven the other guests, if they exist at all, to the railing to disgorge. Rather, I am still the only remaining passenger on the ship, who realizes that the crew has disappeared and now all tasks are to be taken over by him as soon as possible, because otherwise? Otherwise? I don’t know. Day, what else?

Mein Kopf ein schwankendes Tanzschiff, und ich Passagier, Tänzerin auf hoher See mit Seegang, der die anderen Gäste, falls es sie überhaupt gibt, längst schon an die Reling vertrieben hat, sich zu übergeben. Eher noch bin ich am Schiff einzig gebliebener Fahrgast, dem klar wird, dass auch die Mannschaft verschwunden und nun alle Aufgaben von ihm selber schnellstens zu übernehmen sind, denn sonst? Sonst? Ich weiß es nicht. Tag, was ist sonst?

Part 2:
And answer me: Nothing. There is no doom, only the well-known happenings, which slowly and rowing with my fears take me out into the open sea, where octopuses expect me in many-armed symphony of perdition. However, it is time to change the perspective / line of gaze, pushing a draft obliquely through layers into the not yet painted. A weather condition which changes the course, in which as under hypnosis, the captain, taxwoman, instructor, the beating, fearful heart, blinded in the fog only face with a narrow view of the tube to exactly that sea cutout, that predicts the doom dark and menacing.
Enlarge the tube. Remove the restrictive monocular. Recognize that any small section that was considered a reality, a point only, tiny zone in immeasurable variety of possibilities. That I was deceived, hypnotized on exactly one thing, to inflict the greatest possible damage to me.
And now? I turn slowly around my axis and let my eyes wander. Everywhere my gaze clungs to, it goes deep into it, and I see that in the respective point entry into spheres, zones, layers, which bring life, my life-boat, no longer in logical references causally from one point to the next. It seems, …

Und antworte mir: gar nichts. Kein Untergang, nur das bekannte Geschehen, das langsam und an meinen Ängsten rudernd ins offene Meer hinausführt, wo mich Kraken in vielarmiger Untergangssinfonie erwarten. Doch ist es an der Zeit, die Blickrichtung zu ändern, schräg durch Schichten ins noch nicht Gemalte einen Entwurf zu schieben. Eine Wetterlage, die den Kurs ändert, in dem wie unter Hypnose die Kapitänin, Steuerfrau, Instrukteurin, das schlagende, ängstliche Herz, im Nebel geblendet nur mehr einen engen Röhrenblick auf genau den Meeresausschnitt richten, der Untergang dunkel und bedrohlich prophezeit.
Die Röhre vergrößern. Das einengende Monokular weglegen. Erkennen, dass jeder kleine Ausschnitt, der als Wirklichkeit galt, ein Punkt nur, winzige Zone in unermesslicher Vielfalt von Möglichkeiten. Dass ich einer Täuschung unterlag, hypnotisiert auf genau Eines zusteuerte, mir größtmöglichen Schaden zuzufügen.
Und jetzt? Ich drehe mich langsam um meine Achse und lasse den Blick schweifen. Überall, wo er sich festhakt, geht es tief hinein, und ich sehe, dass im jeweiligen Punkt Eintritt in Sphären, Zonen, Schichten, die das Leben, mein Lebensschiff, nicht mehr in logischen Bezügen kausal von einem Punkt zum nächsten bringen. Es scheint, …

=== lyrics ===
we didn't know
about the whole deal
we all were waitin'
to see what went down

and now she knows
the cat is out
of the bag now
yeah, there's no secret

we didn't know which way was up or down we were
disoriented
all I knew was that we were screwed

and now she knows
the cat is out
of the bag now
the cat is out
of the bag now
and know she knows
it's no secret

for all we know....O O O

we could see her
in the corner
lickin' her chops as she watched us shrivel

the cat is out
of the bag now
yeah, it's no secret
the cat is out
the cat is out
the cat is out
of the bag now
it's no secret
