Dark Times - Music & Lyrics by REKHA - IYERN [Fe]

Livin' in
Just living in dark times
B-L-U-E
We're livin' in dark times
Dark times, times, times, times, times, times...

Oh We're livin' in dark times
We are
Livin' so dark
In the blue
An ocean of madness

What have we done
What have we done
What have we done
Huh-Hun...Huh-Hun...Huh-Hun...
Huh-Hun...Huh-Hun...Huh-Hun-Ho...

Livin' in dark times, Oh
Livin' in dark times, times, times
We are, we are so blue

Oh-Ho, Won't somebody help
Help me 
I'm going mad
From livin' in dark times
Oh don't you understand

Oh Won't somebody help me
Help, I'm going mad
From livin' in dark times, times, times, times, times

Wo-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh...
Livin' in dark times
Ah...Ah, Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh
Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh
Livin' in, livin' in
Livin' in dark times

Don't you understand that
I'm going mad
From the sadness of our time

Just livin' in dark times

Dark Times - Music & Lyrics by REKHA - IYERN [Fe] | GRITTY UNDERGROUND ROCK 🎸| YT

First off i have to say a big Big thank you to my Son Rob for his great idea about the Pick up truck. Thanks Rob :-)  It really has added a new dimension to this little ole country tune . This is a real real " Pick me up Song " :-) The song is a  follow on song to "The Road" & " Ordinary guy. A song of Hope & friendship with a little sprinkling of Spirituality thrown in.  We all need someone to help us when we are down or Lost and in this song the " Pick up truck " symbolizes a friend or a spiritual belief. Something that we can relay on to help us through  the bad times. Just like an old pick up trunk sturdy & Reliable & Always goes the distance. 

 Hope you like it. 

Written, performed & Produced by: Johnny Mc Farlane
Thanks to my Friend Finn Eces for helping me arrange this one.

Long time ago in the Scottish Highlands. A tribe that lives in a rough and harsh surrounding, strengthened over generations by the unfriendly environment. The borders of the tribes territory are not exactly known. In particular, in the North, the saying goes that vast areas of unoccupied lands will belong to those that first dare to claim it. So a small troup of currageous military men sets foot to the Northern Frontier ...

Composition-wise: The piece explores the change of atmosphere when the same motive is played with different accompaniments. The same theme can be found for instance @ 0:00 ff,  0:23 ff and 1:05 ff. The accompaniment increases in intensity and rhythm for these three instances, ranging from a meditative intro over a – to my ears – tribal dance or chant towards a first  climax of the piece which might make a good soundtrack for a battle in the Scottish Highlands. The track then settles down to the second theme @ 1:33 which again is repeated with much more agitated accompaniment @ 1:55 ff. 

While the track is in general in 4/4, it raises the tension by sometimes breaking the metrum into more unconventional rhythmic structures. This holds in particular for @ 0:46 ff where the metrum changes to a succession of ¾, 4/4, ¾, 6/4, 6/4, 4/4, ¾, 4/4, ¾, ¾, ¾ and then reverts to the original 4/4. Also @ 2:09  there is in insert of a ¾ bar and at the very end @ 2:30, there is a 2/4 break just before the final chord. 

I did some Youtube Shorts in Case with more details on some composition tweaks that I used in this track:
Varying the Accompaniment: https://youtube.com/shorts/7HAWSz2Mg14?feature=share
Breaking the metric structure: https://youtube.com/shorts/tUvaq8D6nUo?feature=share
Ligature Bows: https://youtube.com/shorts/-WBf6Du040g?feature=share
Keeping the attention until the end: https://youtube.com/shorts/qnJl5BQ4yxU?feature=share


The track has been recorded on a Roland FP-90 and mastered in Cubase by adding  reverb, a Stereo enhancer and fiddling a bit with the EQ. 
The picture was created with Stable Diffusion.

The Northern Frontier

The Northern Frontier (Solo Piano)

Cast of characters:
Stoner Jazz--@user-911083679—Jeff—vocals, lyrics, and original stem

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–overdriven guitar, production, and mix

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums and percussion

Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–electric clean/effects guitar 

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–four string fretless bass and synth           

This song orignated with Jeff, who wrote a poem, which he set to a beat and a key with some very cool vocal processing. He sent it to me, and I added the bass and the synth lines. I had to, of course, got the rest of the Eclectic Collective involved. Ken came up with a solid, distinct beat, based loosely on my first take. I then redid my bass line to match up with Ken's drums, which is the way they seem to work best, sometimes going back and forth like that several times until they're locked in. Then, Tez and Stephen each added very distinct, supportive guitar tracks to fill it in. Tez comes through with the very Strat sounding bells ringing throughout. Stephen really shines with his textural tremolo playing throughout, as well as the rocking end. He also produced and mixed it expertly, as always. 

  This is the first time the Eclectic Collective has collaborated with Jeff, although both Josh and especially Stephen (as part of the band, The Smoking Trout) have made music with him before. We really enjoyed making a song based on his vocals, and Jeff is a welcome addition to our sound anytime. We all really enjoyed making this one. We hope you enjoy listening to it.

Lyrics:


Naked Shoulders
l like the way the sun lights up
the naked shoulders of the Early morning
ln the Desert where we met-
ln the shack down by the muddy
where you said you waited
while l rambled on about the time
Youth and Sex and Beauty-
When the Real Revolution was the Music-

Slitting quietly and thinking
while the melancholy has lt's moment
letting longing linger longer than lt should
Took a little tumble ln the Bumble
when l got older
always just a little lucky
ln the middle of disaster
no longer sure lf l'm the spell or l'm the caster
only knowing that my feet are made of plaster-

Even though lt's getting late, even though lt's getting late
l'm still standing at the gate
hoping for a bit hoping for a little bite hoping for a little slice of Nlrvana Nlrvana-

Verse 2
You know lt's harder than lt looks
even though l read some books
l'm ln love with my Delusion, Naked and inviting
lt whispers sweetly ln my head and says
You're gonna live Forever, even though l'm almost dead-

Everything that came before
comes knocking at the back-stage door
demanding parts ln the production of the play-

What makes you think you have a choice?
The Director Said
you don't have to memorize the dialogue
the script ls ln your Head--

Naked Shoulders (Stonerjazz with Eclectic Collective)

Colorful Colorado  - Autumn (feat. Video)

all vocals by clive hawkins:

can you believe, can you believe,
what you cannot see.
do you believe? do you believe?
love can set you free.

bridge:  love's a mystery........never kind to me.

Do you believe?

there's is a lot that is wrong and a lot to be done. It won't happen if we don't do it. learn from the past.don't repeat mistakes.the world is the same anywhere you go. Differences among people are exaggerated insignificant quirks twisted by those who want to remain in power. we are all more alike than different


lyric

in the time that's left to me ,let me touch what's left to feel
in the time that's left to me, through the dim light let me see
I never needed to travel the globe cause the world always came to me

cause the sun,the moon, the rain the snow are constant everywhere
people laugh, people cry,people hope and people fear
nothing's different from here to there
it's all the same,nothing to fear

when will we learn that we have the power to turn dark into light
to feed the hungry and cloth the cold
with no damage to our body or danger to our soul

our lives are short but our legacy is long
the past must be our guide through the night to the dawn
so we can touch what must be touched
so we can see what must be seen
and not stay locked alone in ourselves for our tiny eternity

make a difference

Night Sky

Welcome to The Water Planet Project-Part 3 of our trilogy about one of our most endangered resources, fresh water. In this part we consider the relative present. Certainly mankind has accomplished many good things during the course of human development.  But in his ignorance, greed, hunger for power, etc., also many bad ones. And it's all the bad ones that give us an increasingly broken planet and world to live in, where fresh water reserves are quickly running out, or becoming polluted all over the world.
We are not judging anyone, we are just asking you to think for a moment, because what we have done and continue to do to our planet and each other, is actually unsustainable for our future generations. We must ask; "how will the lack of vital fresh water in a few decades affect humanity's possibility of continued existence?"  Part 3 ponders the painful answer to that question.

For the best experience, see the visualization of our story, which you can find here: www.youtube.com/user/wcifarout.

This track is a collaboration with SeaShea on.soundcloud.com/CnDF4
I tried creating a fall song using the same production style as our collaboration 'Seeing The Sea' with SeaShea from the summer. I believe it's a luxurious experience to create music together while looking at the same moon. Please look forward to our future collaborations.
