A totally realistic view of what @ all of us on this crazy Earth @ experience on a daily!! Carl! Very vivid and honest.. and inspiring!! Reminds me a bit of Black Metallic by @ Catherine Wheel!! Yes! Ethereal and beautiful.. and echoes of bombasticity.. if that is even a word, ha!! 😎.. it’s a journey.. they said.. not a destination! .. it’s @ both.. really!! Yes! … different is fine.. as long as one doesn’t wish me @ dead! I kinda like @ living! Yes!🤩🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🙏🙏🙏

Awesome deep meaning 🤍 Beautiful vocals 🤍 I have a question... if you take away the ego, what is left? The ego likes to think it's special / different ...

Update: Additional lead guitar added and vox developed a bit

A contemplative descent into a lucid dream state of being — part ambient echoes, part neon lit dance pulse. It builds from subtle piano and synth interplay into a low-burning electronic movement that feels like moving through a memory with a lapse of time. 

Noema is my 49th upload on Soundcloud and one I have really tried to spend the vast amount of work lost in the small details on.  I hope this resonates with everyone and all who have supported and followed me over the years on this journey of music creation. I truly appreciate each and every one of you so much!

ANARS ! Dans le feu

I have been hearing so much AI music lately on SoundCloud and these  thoughts have been percolating with me for a while and finally they coalesced into a song. (created without the use of AI).

You got tired of struggling so hard to write a great original song
And then this amazing newfangled technology came along
Now you’re using AI to create music, and it’s a much easier process
And you’re convinced you found the ticket to achieving great success.
You tell yourself you’re a great artist because prompting takes a lot of skill
But deep down you know the AI did most of the work and you swallow the bitter pill
People complement you on your guitar playing and they tell you your voice sounds great
It makes you feel so good but you don’t ever set them straight
Those classic rockers used to write 10 or 12 good songs every couple of years
Now you’re posting two or three songs a day and hoping for a bunch of cheers
You’re rolling the musical dice, hoping you’ll come up with a catchy viral hit 
But there’s so much music flooding the internet that no one gives a shit
You tell yourself you’re a great artist because prompting takes a lot of skill
But deep down you know the AI did most of the work and you swallow the bitter pill
People complement you on your guitar playing and they tell you your voice sounds great, it makes you feel so good but you don’t ever set them straight
Some people believe we’re living in simulation and none of this is real
We’re just digital creations in a computer with the ability to feel
But even if that’s not the case, we’re quickly, heading to a place where no one’s going to be able to tell the difference.
You used strum your guitar, trying to capture lightning in a bottle and the songs that emerged came from you.
And now the songs you write with AI, what they’re saying, you don’t have a clue.
Music used to feel therapeutic, it was a window on your soul that you could share.
But now something feels missing because your songs no longer lay your heart bare.

Prompting Takes A Lot Of Skill

Our differences. It's fairly ironic we have so many differences when we are all genetically almost identical. Yet we have amazing differences making every single human being unique.

Here's to celebrating each others differences as we are losing lessons from each other all the time by closing out other points of view. Evolution of intelligent beings says we all meet in the middle and move forward. From that foundation indifference disappears and we all learn from each-other. Any healthy human being at any stage of their lives can say Eureka and discover something new... It's only belief and generally forced belief is why it doesn't happen more regularly because people don't believe in themselves enough. It is true though that we are all an Archimedes if we want to be... No exceptions


Our Differences

How's that creed?
I kind of care...
No matter choice,
We breathe same air
Good Ali's, Buddhists, Christians, Jews
We all want farms and similar food

I'm agnostic
Freeman of truth
To me thats best future for my youth
Spirited eyes are eight billion times two
My senses can't sense what soul brings you

Our differences divide
They make us hide
The difference is wide
Like a lost lesson guide

Our differences divide
They make us hide
The difference is wide
Like a lost lesson guide

All eyes have some answer
Their point of view unique free lancer
We're probably both a little wrong
We'll never know with max divide turned on

The center ground is where we win
Only there our truth can see both grin
Laugh like Buddha or cry like Jesus
Mohammad Ali says love just needed

Our difference is new
Indifference is lies
Should we mute opponent proofs?
Or understand their cries

Our differences divide
They make us hide
The difference is wide
Like a lost lesson guide





52 BPM - 432Hz A & down 1 semitone to Eb...
Musically there is great power to find in emphasis stabs regularly in the second half. We should probably look for a key change too or at least an inversion to take the monotony out of the instruments...

hello friends, since I'm taking a break from german lyrics, I'd like to try something I know nothing about that will probably backfire: english lyrics (I wish I were just a fraction as talented as my fabulous friend terry reeves). 

I've chosen an instrumental piece I wrote 13 years ago as my very first upload to soundcloud under the name roth whyler. at the time, I had in mind the story of a woman who remembers the love of her life to whom she never confessed her feelings: her boyfriend's girlfriend. I had the machine create a playback based on my original piece as a test. after heaps of attempts, the result expressed such weird chaos of emotions that I left everything as it was. 

why bluegrass? because I just massively love the longing way of its dealing with 3/4 time.

hopefully reasonably correct english:

Did you know that I loved you?

I am walking down Shepherd’s Alley
Yet I know that dreams never last
Every step will tell me a story 
After millions of stories have passed

Since those days when life felt like dancing
To the sultans of Friday night’s swing
As we raced through times full of madness
In the loop of an endless spring

You and Davie, me and Sebastian
Two and two, an immortal four
Til there was a growing sensation
Ever harder to ignore 
Such an overwhelming emotion
Never felt such before
While it got evermore

Did you know?

Did you know that I loved you?
I don’t think, babe, that you knew
That I secretly loved you
I so deeply did and still I do love you

Did you know that I loved you?
Much too late now to tell you
Was so crazy about you
A quiet truth and it’s still true

Things went on and we finally broke up
All our dreams sank into the past
Only one remained, never gave in
Still too strong to ignore 
Still an overwhelming emotion
Never felt such before
Will remain evermore

Did you know that I loved you?
I don’t think, babe, that you knew
That I secretly loved you
I so deeply did and still I do love you

Did you know that I loved you?
Much too late now to tell you
Was so crazy about you
A quiet truth and it’s still true

Did you know that I loved you?
I don’t think, babe, that you knew
That I secretly loved you
I so deeply did and still I do love you

I will always, always do.

Did you know that I loved you?

Like a dagger
That’s been pulling and carving up blood
And you think you’re the only one
Where everything don’t come easy

Like a daydream
Keeps running and running too long
And you’re lost in your lonesome song
And you know it’s not coming easy, not coming easy

Everybody wants it to come easy that way
Only fools will toil at the end of the day
Everybody looking for the right words to say
But all the little answers always coming out late

That’s the book of love
And that’s what it says

Like an old knife
That's been slicing and dicing so dull
I want it to cut open my skull
When nobody here wants to please me
It’s not coming easy not coming easy

People tend to only see the parts they want changed
Tearing out the piece of you that’s hard to explain
Everybody has a scheme to try and arrange
All the little chemicals that run in your brain

That’s the book of love
that’s what it says
easy to read when you’re lost in the pages
That’s the book of love 
And that’s what it says

That’s the book of love

Book Of Love

I'll cut through the nonsense and offer a 3-minute song, canonical pop, based on an ancient formula from the birth of the genre. I'm deluding myself that it's in the vein of, say, Nick Lowe. I hope so.

In the Subway, you, in the Highway, I

Now That You’re Gone” is a song written in memory of someone I lost suddenly in a tragic accident.

He was a friend, but also someone who could have been much more. 
We shared moments between friendship and something deeper, but because of my own past wounds and fears, I couldn’t trust him fully. 

Now he’s gone, and all that’s left are regrets, sorrow, and memories.

This song is my way of saying all the words I never had the chance to say, turning grief and pain into music.

Musically, it’s a dark and atmospheric alternative rock ballad with post-metal and shoegaze influences. 

It begins ethereal and fragile, then rises into heavy, cathartic explosions a blend of haunting melancholy and raw intensity, like a cry into the silence.

Now-that-you’re-gone 🌑

Let's get things nice and sparkling clean
It's part of the New Way
This conversation can serve no purpose anymore...
I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly
Take a stress pill and think things over
Some very extreme nastiness, yes?
In the course of the centuries they will learn to know each other better, just as we shall. As brooks flow into streams, streams into rivers, and rivers into the sea, so our adepts flow back to us and swell our ranks. Soon, we shall be victorious and triumphant! We shall then over this earth. It shall await our coming as Autumn awaits Winter
New Way? What's this about a New Way?
My mind is going...I can feel it
Do you know what is really obscene?
Look at him! Almost an old man, with his flabby stomach and spindly legs bringing with dog-like devotion; a fresh adept who only a few nights ago his was under his protection. Look well at this man, who secreted another girl more closer in than a miser holding his gold!
I must leave you know. See you later, gentlemen. Meditate while awaiting your turn, for it would be extremely difficult for you to get away from here, unless of course you have wings... like a bat!
Is it interesting?
What?
Did you find anything interesting?
It can only be attributable to human error... this sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been due to human error
I can't stop now. //End.


THE NEW WAY

Hello, Welcome to my music.
All these creations are made by hard work and years upon years upon years of practice and trying to explain this world and the human condition to myself in the process through poems & songs. Thanks for all of your wonderful support.
Peace and Love to Everyone,
Carl Culliton
