One of my friends died today.... it seems this is an all too common theme these days. Too many of us are struggling to survive in an artificial world, where loneliness abounds and basic human needs are going unmet. Please be kind. Listen and let people know you care... because one day they might break under the weight of trying to survive and you won't get that chance 🖤 The world lost a wonderful human today. Rest in peace, Mic. This song is for you.

Lyrics:
Why? Why did you do it? I never got a chance to say goodbye. Goodbye...
Why did you go away?
Go away... why?
Why did you go away?
Away
Oooh
You made me cry because you've gone away
Gone away
No saying goodbye because you went away 
You went away
Ooh
Why? We never had a chance to say goodbye
Be at peace
Be at peace
You're released now
Be at peace
Be at peace
You're released now
Be at peace
You're released now
🤍

A Gentle Passing

I melt with you

I melt with you (in the style of Modern English)

'you can('t) change' with Scratch Kelly 

Scratch: beat, synths, backing vocals, production, art
Scotty: guitars, lyrics, vocals 

I can't even blame you, girl,
after I've learned about your world.
Fucked up, but, still, that is that.
I have given all of me,
and sometimes I did believe
that we'd create a habitat. 

But then tonight happened again,
and I've lost my love, and best friend. 

It didn't need to escalate,
then you wanted to stay out 'late',
drink some more, and party hard.
Then when it was time to leave,
you spoke shit I'd rather disbelieve, 
and now I have to leave. It's hard.

Because when you're straight, you are great.
But, I keep making the same mistake
of forgiving you. Now, it's too late.
My heart is torn, but, so is fate. 

You can('t) change.

you can('t) change (with Scratch Kelly)

DOUBLE WIRED

Macbeth is an opera in four acts by Giuseppe Verdi, with an Italian libretto by Francesco Maria Piave and additions by Andrea Maffei, based on Shakespeare's play of the same name. Written in 1846 it was Verdi's tenth opera and also the first of Shakespeare's plays which he adapted for the operatic stage.

In Act II Macbeth has murdered King Duncan and become king, but plots the murder of Banco and his son Fleance to thwart the prophecy that Banco’s children will rule Scotland. As the assassins lie in wait for Banco outside the castle, Banco sings his recitative and aria “Studia il passo  -Come dal ciel precipita” (Watch your step - How from the heaven falls), in which he warns his son about his feeling of foreboding. The aria’s noble, rich unfolding comes to an impassioned peak just before the coda, when the assassins strike him down but fail to halt his escaping son.

The aria was written for basso profondo (here transcribed for baritone). My attempt had me step out of my comfort zone, both in expression and in range. The piano as always was brilliantly played by Helen Roberts.
I hope you'll enjoy our performance.

Lyrics

Studia il passo, o mio figlio...
Usciam da queste tenèbre...
Un senso ignoto
Nascer mi sento in petto,
Pien di tristo presagio e di sospetto.

Come dal ciel precipita
L'ombra più sempre oscura!
In notte ugual trafissero
Duncano, il mio signor.
Mille affannose immagini
M'annunciano sventura,
E il mio pensiero ingombrano
Di larve e di terror.

English:

Be careful how you go, o my son...
Let’s go out from this darkness...
I feel something unknown
Growing in my heart,
Fraught with sad premonition and suspicion.

How the shade falls from heaven
More and more obscure !
On such another night as this
They stabbed to death Duncan, my lord.
A thousand nightmares
Are foretelling me misfortune,
And are oppressing my mind
With ghosts and dread.

Come dal ciel precipita (Macbeth - Giuseppe Verdi - with Helen Roberts)

This Jim Carey clip seeded this song today. I think he has a nice angle to give on depression. Jim in general I find very inspiring. For me he spells out very clearly and eloquently that no matter affluence we all go though the same brain battles during this life experience.

I do deal with small amounts of depression but fortunately it's rare for me. Some days though the mind just cannot level those feelings and you just got to let them pass.

Gabor Mate would be one person that really helped me change my life and in my opinion has some of the finest views on pro active positive mindset and I'd highly recommend listening to him. He has incredible societal views relevant to the human condition of the individual and the people who influence you growing up and how you can respond to thise influences. He also has some intriguing views on the state of the medical world and offers some very nice shift we could make in the future. Instead of masking problems with artificial antetodes that maybe we can prevent a lot of them with a life of a clearer more content mindset. I believe he feels our experience and frame of thinking can manifest physical problems in the body however conventional medicine rarley considers this as part of the diagnosis and cure. I will note that it appears to be long term lifestyle choices that could bear the fruits of Gabor's thinking and as ever take everyone with a pinch or three of this 🧂 and make up your own mind 🫶🏽 Hope you're not depressed and if you are peace and love to you 🫂

"Seek the reality of everything, don't get seduced by appearances of anything. Don't be afraid of your pain and don't run away from it because that running away is what leads to addictions and illnesses. It's all worth it. It's worth going through all that suffering because this is what life is. It's just worth being alive." Dr Gabor Maté


Lyrics
Deep-Rest,
Says Jim of depressed
Fuck you body!
Shelve the avatar!
Let's reset
You need this for future clear wist
Feel some fear for reference bliss
Feel the pain
Know your pleasure reframed

Deep-rest
Refill your chest
Quieten the mind
Brain reboots to find your kind self

Super duper happy
Wait, super duper sad
This mind seems looped now front to back
What's this feeling?
When will it go?
Maybe I can sing it and pretend I'll never know

Deep-rest
Refill your chest
Quieten the mind
Brain reboots to find your kind to self

You need this for future clear wist
Feel some fear for reference bliss
Feel the pain
Know your pleasure reframed

Deep-rest
Fuck you body we said
Deep-rest
Fuck you mind we said
Deep-rest
Fuck you body we said
Deep-rest


Deep-Rest

My first band in 20 years haha. Schweeeet! TBD is a band already in my head but this is an actual band🤘🏽


Dear Universe. Please bring peace to planet Earth 🙏🏽 Thanks Universe ✅


Thanks a centillion for ALL the support. I love you all for helping me in so many ways with what I've loved doing for 38 years, making music. This is a human made list of life dives. I'd happily explain any process to you if you wish or are wondering something about TBD. Just ask, I'm Carl and I love sharing what I've discovered and learned especially in the songs themselves. I see songs as one of the finest ways to learn something and bolt your truth to on any subject in a direct yet maybe less imposing manner as your singing it and making it mellifluous. It's hard to sing what you feel is a lie so in my view writing truly honest lyrics and making them songs can be a mini thesis for you on any subject.

No AI here... AI creativity insults my entire existence and the memory of all the dead artists that got their amazing work plagiarised to build current LLMs. I actually hope we legislate to fix that in the future if possible. Delete it and start again in my view. Building an Artificial Intelligence on stealing 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Very clever! I'll stick with my actual intelligence thank you very much!
I do respect there are positive applications using AI music and in the future they will hopefully grow to being great for humanity. Right now though I believe there's a responsibility for artists to paint how humans make this world of music so generations that will only experience the world with AI music have a proper reference to retain and grow with. It's a fight for the soul of art until the soul of art is saved. Then we can utilise AI creativity more in my opinion but we have to make it an environment that doesn't wipe out individual evolution evolving music like they have done. A machine doing it for you is more matrix then artist. 

I had actually collaborated with a couple of AI artists and naively excepted them at face value. I nuked those songs though even though I made them very real... No thanks don't want to spread any of that shit! If you noticed this and saw me as a hypocrite I don't blame you but unfortunately that's the fake vs real guess world we are starting to need to navigate at the moment! It has made me overly protectionist about who to embrace!

Something needs to change fast. I've decided to stop following obvious AI accounts and I'm sorry if we have built up a relationship but it's a battle so... and it's not ok the current status quo... and every AI account that.doesnt lay bare what it is you are creating the problem so I can't support you any more and I don't mind if you stop spreading my music either. Thanks human to human but not with AI music as the medium thanks very much!

My shorterm plan is to start making a method to audit a SoundCloud profile as a reference to make it easier to avoid more AI typists. The more we avoid them the more we take the algorithm away from them. So in my view that's the tactic... We drive them all into a corner so they can digitally  pee all over each other and we can listen and share music. Hopefully culturally it will evolve more thoughtfully and we can come back to it and maybe even embrace it in cool creative ways. But it cannot in my view be allowed become the shortcut to result that kids get inspired by and don't bother learning music. That will limit the wiring of their brains and it's probably true to say overall health because of that.

Thanks a million for spending the time to read my bio... It changes like the wind. I feel a little bit sorry for you 😆 But I loooooove SoundCloud and I love getting upgraded off all the geniuses here so feel free to poke me anytime and I'll poke you back with my ears and honest opinion ❤️‍🔥 (and probably point out why you're better then AI 🕺🏽)
