The Storm

I keep looking back – for that one thing – that used to make me smile – non-existent – if only for a while – I could find that smile again
Keep Pumping through the files in my Vortex – realized that smile – was a reflex – was anything worthwhile - or was my time spent here in vain.
Chorus
If you’re looking for me - I’ll be gone and - sorry that I didn’t give good warning but I was in a rush to get out of this place– don’t think ill ever see another morning – baby dry eyes and live on my love I’m gone – you’re gonna make it through this storm……..
When there just aint nobody calling – not listening – nor even paying attention – what’s the fucking point – Why do we hold on
There’s no need to catch me while I’m falling – it’s already written in his story – aint no turning back – I must be moving on……
Chorus
If you’re looking for me - I’ll be gone and - sorry that I didn’t give good warning but I was in a rush to get out of this place– don’t think ill ever see another morning – baby dry your eyes and live on my love I’m gone – you’re gonna make it through this storm……..
Though I’m no longer here babe I see you – I’ve never loved you more so I freed you – I'm right here by your side – You’re going to make it through this storm
Chorus
If you’re looking for me - I’ll be gone and - sorry that I didn’t give good warning but I was in a rush to get out of this place– don’t think ill ever see another morning –  Baby dry your eyes and live on my love I’m gone – you’re gonna make it through this storm……..

Here the sister tracks: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/this-is-them-last-version and https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/is-this-you. I must point out that there is no reference to the famous TV series of the same title. The inspiration again obviously came from the short Julio Cortazar story, 'Axolotl'. (here: https://ambystoma.uky.edu/teachers_materials/axolitbook/AxolotlByJulioCortazar.html ).

Introduction to The Wolves

unpasteurized

Life ain't fair, no, 
it ain't a level game 
Some get all the sunshine,
 some just feel the rain.

 We're dealt these random hands, 
and play the cards we're given 

But the house is always winning,
 the odds are always driven. 

Life ain't fair, 
a bitter truth I know
 But somewhere in the chaos,
 a flicker starts to grow.


Life ain't fair, 
no, 
it ain't a level game Some get all the sunshine, some just feel the rain. 

We're dealt these random hands, 
and play the cards we're given 

But the house is always winning,
 the odds are always driven. 

Maybe it's not about winning, 
or reaching some grand prize 
Maybe it's finding strength, 
in the tears that fill our eyes. 

Maybe it's building bridges, 
with others lost and weak 
Maybe it's finding meaning,
 in the words we barely speak.

Life ain't fair, a bitter truth I know

Bitter Truth

This is now the extended and collaborative version with Roberto B  (@2roberto2), under the title of  "Transience (Extended Collaborative Version)", combining creatively my recent track, "Transience (Piano)", https://soundcloud.com/alexander-mihailov-96713983/transience-piano, in my work-in-progress album "Again" (2025), with his recent track "Suspense 6", https://soundcloud.com/2roberto2/suspence-6, that appeared on SC on 30 January 2025. My piano track was composed spontaneously in GarageBand iOS in the evening of 28 January 2025. There is also a version for synths, https://soundcloud.com/alexander-mihailov-96713983/transience-synths, as well as a version for strings, https://soundcloud.com/alexander-mihailov-96713983/transience-strings. "Transience (Extended Collaborative Version)" was arranged and mixed in Logic Pro by Alex M on 11 February 2025 and released on SoundCloud in the late evening (in Europe) of 13 March 2025.

The artwork cover for the album and all tracks in it uses a painting by Roberto B titled "Horloge - Le Temps" of 20 November 2024 annotated by Alex M in Mac OS Preview on 21 February 2025 - in coordination and agreement with Roberto B.
