Reunion

Keep running
You’ll never know
No you never
You never
Never
You’ll never know 
At all
Can’t you see
Can’t you feel
Let it go
Let it be
Let it go
Let it be
It’s like were crumbling down
It’s like the rooms spinning round
It’s like the worlds burning down
It’s like the whole things mad
It’s like the walls are all sad
Try to understand
Try to understand
To know somehow
Keep running
You’ll never know
No you’ll never
You never
Never
You’ll never know 
At all

You'll Never Know

Another relic from the lockdown vault...

I wrote and recorded this at the end of 2020 (hence no mention of the events of Jan 6th 2021) but never released it at the time for various reasons. 

Given recent events I thought why not clean it up and put it out. 

Just a bit of haaahmless fun as Arnie might say :)

This Guy

Une chanson parlée, pour l'expérience.  Je raconte ici que j'observe le public lors d'événements tels que le 14 juillet, ces moments où plus personne ne bouge, où tout le monde regarde dans la même direction, comme si on était tous d'accord, c'est assez marrant; on est tous ensemble, mais chacun dans sa bulle. C'est de la psycho à 2 balles, mais je trouve ça intéressant.


Quand On Regarde Ceux Qui Regardent Le Feu D'artifice

Midnight Racing

lyrics:
Since we started, we had a long way from home
now never departed, we have to stand tall
Never let it down, no threat from the wind
rain or thunder nor from any evil seed

Always i wonder, what's next on the line
this daily life plunders whatever vital that shines 

i keep on dreamin' aiming high
but this weird feeling shutters my mind

but if i'm keeping all worries behind
i should remain believin', relentless will for life to find

fightin' for no reason, ain't gonna give me peace of mind
feeding my ego, had lost so much precious time

Now it's the right time, to think what's next
healing this heart and let the mind to rest

Since We Started

Blow a kiss and I’ll find you 
Find the way to travel through 
Somewhere deep inside the wind
Find a place to start again
I can still smell your hair 
I’m so grateful that youre near 

Call out my name and I’ll be there 
I’ll travel through and the water and air
And if I feel you can not breathe
Set blankets far across the sea 
I’ll lay in wait from stitch to stitch
And drift away on dreams I missed 

Kiss the earth and I’ll find you 
Traveling far with the grays and blues 
Into the clouds I’ll whisper your name 
Promise to you, things won’t be the same 
Seeing you now, knowing your here
Feeling your breath, take you fears

Lyrics:
Picture for a minute the possibility
Livin' n' givin' n' winnin' n' gettin' so free
Witness beginnings and endings n' lettin' thangs be
Let the evil of humanity plunge deep in the sea
Get the noose let it wither away
And today you n' I both know what to say
In the face of destruction that's life reduction
It has only solely one function
Target and attack wack devil on a horseback
Bout to get God-smacked yea how ya like that
Well let the Good Lord carry on
Yea bout' to crush New Babylon
And every hidden thangs gonna be flipped around
From the top of the world to the underground
Yes and there will be justice
That's the word you can trust this
Chorus 2x
Every man has his day everythang flips around
If you look hard enough there's some truth to be found
If you're on another level then you know what I say
You're eternally alive, others fade away
Verse 2
Picture for a minute the insanity
The depth of calamity coupled with vanity
Lost in a selfie sea ain't nobody helpin' me
That's the way it's gotta be gotta seek deep relief
And I find it right here
Find on the inside that my mind gets live
I ain't never gotta hide only hold it down n' ride
Seein' God pick a side pick a fight wrong or right
Forget the hype flashy lights fake people not my type
Got a team and we're tight ILP yea that's right
Another dope track we know you feel that
Put your fist in the air time to hit back
Cuz every hidden thangs gonna be flipped around
From the top of the world to the underground
Yes and there will be justice
That's the word you can trust this
Chorus 2x
Every man has his day everythang flips around
If you look hard enough there's some truth to be found
If you're on another level then you know what I say
You're eternally alive, others fade away

ILP - Conscious Entity Sound - New Babylon Remix

A classic guitar track. Theme and performance - LeoMReznik.                                           
      This time I decided to record something in the traditional classical style. This winter is still causing exactly such feelings... Some of you, my friends, may like this simple composition. I'll be glad to.

Winter Adagio

Ur never gonna change
if U don't want to...
and I hear ur protest songs
see U fightin along...
but in ur mind U seek relief
..can't wait to end the beef
yea and change won't survive
...if U do it wrong
yea
have U seen the weathered faces in the pictures in the papers
buried friends and neighbors
then fold away the ragged flag
in a moth ball box
O hey hey O yea
them sheep been fleeced and the wolves
gone blind from all the shine
lookin for fresher pastures
yea fresh meat...
cause fleecers are real bastards
yea...got a thirst and a hunger
and so now we're all goin under...
and have U seen the weathered faces 
in the pictures in the papers
buried friends and neighbors
then fold away the ragged flag
in a moth ball box
O hey hey O yea

A Mothball Box

Lullaby No.7

Doubt nearly won and I almost deleted this...


You know... I know I'm overly emotional in this first take..

The Zen version is here:
Listen to 🌍 Good Pharoahs by The Beautiful Dark on #SoundCloud
https://on.soundcloud.com/AHqhfssmjRtJBBH8A

 But man I felt it.. It might seem strange but it's really nice feeling shit like that through music. That's the therapy... You can go to a shrink and cry but I choose to be ok and come to terms with things through music and for me it's amazing. Because that stands to dissolve the taboo and poison that is mental health in society in the future... I have no problem projecting that vulnerability a little bit because it's just normal. When we treat an unmended mind like a broken arm... We'll all be grand 

It doesn't matter how we find our own peace of mind. Once it doesn't hurt someone else... Find it

In this moment for me I'm genuinely emotional about that connection. I don't get it yet... What they're connecting to fully but sure it's still really feels good. That's the mission man so ...

Good Pharoahs (Demo)

intro instrumental]

Some things come to teach us
how to face the truth —
even when it breaks our hearts.

[ ref]
Some moments come to show us
the light that still shines through,
even when the sky is dark.

Some troubles teach us gently
how tears can carry worth —
from dreams fulfilled
[ bridge]
to dreams that fall apart.

[ instrumental intermezzo]

[ ref]
Some moments come to show us
the light that still shines through,
even when the sky is dark.

And in the end,
the morning sun returns again —
reminding us with every ray:

[ bridge]
“You can always start anew.”

[ instrumental outro ]

This is a remake version of my song. Original one was my acoustic guitar & vocal. And I tried to make this song more enjoyable with some arrangement.
Thank you so much for all the listening and very nice encouraging words

Lyrics 
We’ve been wasting time
Struggle wastes your love
I feel (feeling) you fall on ground
Shadowy days fall on you
I’m so ,,, waiting for you…
I can’t keep my eyes off from you
And I hold old love
You must be beautiful for ever

We’ve been wasting time
Struggle wastes your love
Stay with me for now
Find your way so close
I’m so,,,waiting for you
I can’t keep my eyes off from you
When I  hold old love
You must be beautiful for ever
Oh　(the) life will be fine
I can believe in all your fate
You can feel it for now
A cloud is flow
(When)Open your eyes forward
I can’t tell you why
I’m so ,,,waiting for you
I can’t keep my eyes off from you
When I  hold old love
You must be beautiful for ever
