DROWNING IN THE CITY

No Time For Watching Clocks

Happy Holidays everyone. Thank you sooo much for all the good vibes and support in the last year :-)

"Sakura" means cherry. This song on cherry is composed of three parts: blossoms bloom in April, leaves and fruits grow in May, and trees grow more by rain in June. The theme of this song is that cherries have energy to prepare for next steps even after blossoms blooming though people care about only flowers.

(My song " SAKURA" is the newly mixed down version of this  song .)

Nananana Makes Me Feel So Good    feat.  Hans Albers on guitar ( Prod. Lillithe)

Short songster song about loneliness in the city I wrote 20 years ago.

Now I've given a jazzy feel in 6/4 to the unique strophe which has only chords E & Em, transitioning to 4/4 rhythm towards the unique 'refrain' line, with up to 3 different chords!

All but drums are 'organic' tracks: bass, pocket sax, guitars and voice.

Translated Lyrics:

Combatir la soledad,  /  To fight loneliness, 
nada fácil a mi edad.  /  not at all easy at my age.
Ser comido por la ciudad,  /  To be eaten by the city, 
combatir la soledad.  /  to fight loneliness.

Quiero creer que estarás en casa esta noche  /  I want to believe you'll be at home tonight.

A new Song in 7/4 :-)

feel the pressure
we're all
 overrated 
marionettes your threads
seem to fade and
you're Bolted
now 

reading thoughts
of some who 
stole your youth 
paranoia is 
left in all your 
lies
we're gonna die
die
die 
die

peel all the fruits you stole 
take all that's left and 

reach for my hands
as you were falling 
slip Away
made of scars 
breathing for pain 
and cast away
the sun is changing 
lights will bury your 
fears as we 
suck you dry

our greedy eyes 
will catch the doom for you
separate in all our
self made 
lies 
we're gonna die 
die 
die 
die 

peel  All the  fruits you stole
take all that's left and 

reach for my hands
as you were falling 
slip Away
made of scars 
breathing for pain 
and cast away
the sun is changing 
lights will bury your 
fears as we 
suck you dry

“There is no island for your soul, there is only journey to it …“

Beat and synth played with Native Instruments iMashine2 4-track iPad app by taping on iPad surface. Plus my Yamaha bass and Fender Stratocaster for lead and licks. Recorded directly with Maschine MK3. The guitar effect if reversing guitar samples directly in Ableton, though I like jamn with reverse delay (like one can be found in Korg Gadget on iPad). The rest of prod and mastering is done in Ableton Live 10. Thanks for your support!   

The cover art is the portrait of a Big Green turtle who was chilling on a Island of Maui (Canon Rebel T4i, f/8, 1/400sec, ISO-100, 124mm. Lens Canon EF-S 18-135mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS USM).

Oh, yes... You probably noticed I am having much fun sharing improvisation, raw and work-in-progress jams on my @prockjet account lately. More will come. The base for this track was one of the Prockjets. That's the version of the track when it was just conceived on iPad iMaschine app:

All vocals and instruments by Darren :https://soundcloud.com/darren-sullivan
Lyrics  : Climb aboard for another trip we're going around the world this time
We got Bright Lights we got Starship into outer space we'll climb
Flying past moons flying past stars flying planets flying past Mars
On a Milky Way ever far away is where we spend our time living out our days
Time goes by ever so slowly only love is what we'll breathe
In the here and now is what it's all about when you live it we know you'll find out
So all climb aboard the Starship to the sky let us show you the how and the why
Working together as one in Perfect Harmony 
Here and Now is where we'll all live in peace

Oumuam is a small interstellar body spotted on October 19, 2017 by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope installed on the Haleakalā Observatory, Hawaii, while it was 0.2 astronomical unit of the Earth. It is the first identified object to come from outside the Solar System.
Some scientists even think it could be an alien ship! So let's dream a little!
Oumuamua, est un petit corps interstellaire repéré le 19 octobre 2017 par le télescope Pan-STARRS 1 installé sur l'Observatoire du Haleakalā, à Hawaï, alors qu'il se trouvait à 0,2 unité astronomique de la Terre. Il est le premier objet identifié à provenir de l'extérieur du Système solaire.
Certains scientifiques pensent même qu'il pourrait s'agir d'un vaisseau extraterrestre ! Alors rêvons un peu !

Sadder Still By Tainted Icarus
Lyrics:

And I'm made sad, oh by your world
And I'm made sad, by a girl

And I'm made sad, from the things you choose to say
And I'm made sad, from the ignorance on display

Sadder Still
Sadder Still

Open my mind, just like a book
Flipping page after page, for what I've overlooked

Sum of my fear and how it seems strange
Your pointing your finger, screaming how I have changed

And I feel
Yeah I feel

Sadder still
Sadder still

And I'm still sad, oh by your world
And I'm sad, by the girl

And yeah I feel
Yeah I feel

Sadder still
Sadder still
Sadder still

Notes:  A trip off the beaten path.  A lot could be said about this piece but sometimes life just hurts and from the first note penned it was about excising something dark.

For those of you stopping by for a second time to see the finished project... a heart felt thank you for the love and support!

Peace and love my brothers and sisters!

The Wish

Just you and me (Three Photons, December 2018)

Thanks so much to Rene (Para Lia) and Andrew Borderick for listening to an early versions of this tune....

Hope you like some part of it - Cheers, TJG.

If I could see you
just one more time
I'd be good to you
all the time

It was just you and me
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were running through the night
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were running through the night

I think I saw you 
at Lions Bay
sipping coffee
at my favorite cafe

It was just you and me
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were running through the night
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were running through the night

If I could see you
just one more time
I'd be good to you
all of my life

But I can't find you
and I'm out of time
I'm out of time...

it was just you and me
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were stealing against time
it was just you and me
we racing against the time
it was just you and me
we were drifting through the night

we were drifting through the night
we were drifting through the night

Just you and me

For the ones you love...

No Time For Watching Clocks

Please don't run so fast
Life is long
Don't fall on the broken glass
Our love is a promise
A lifelong souvenir
Once given not forgotten
None shall disappear

You don't need nobody 
To say who you are
You are what you are
You're a shining star

Some people love
And some people judge
And some they are full of it
Others want to hide 
Too scared to decide
Paralyzed they make a fool of it

I'll take my chances on the way
You'll find if you go astray
There is nothing in this world 
You need fear from anyone
Life is long
Life is you

Boomtown
Meltdown
Build you up to let you down 
I can break 
No mistake
Want to be a salad plate?

Get on up 
Buttercup 
Guess you better suck it up
Tough luck
Be the rock
Aint no time for watching clocks

Some people love
And some people judge
And some they are full of it
Others want to hide 
Too scared to decide
Paralyzed they live their life in fear

There is something in this world 
To be for everyone
Life is long 
Life is you

the crowd is asking questions
time to feed the brains of fools
we're on the speedway of the global news
we have a serious network
we run the big machines
we keep you quiet with bread and games
it will quench the flame
isn't the weather nice today?

who gets fooled again

in the age of populism
sweeping around the globe
we are dealing with an overdose
of phrases, bubbles, airholes
advertisement and empty shells
we guarantee your comfort zone
trust us you are not alone
so better stay at home

who gets fooled again

THERE'S SOMEDAY'S IN YOUR LIFE
YOU WANNA RUN AWAY AND HIDE
THE FALLING SKY IS UPON YOU

I'M TRAVELING IN A LONELY RIDE
SOMETHINGS GONNA MAKE ME CRY
I WISH A LITTLE LONGER I HAD YOU
