Midnight Coffee

they eat your legs first

Music  & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

Going at it with mostly a single synth stem again....piano and 2 synths all being played at the same time. Drums, bass and vocal are separate.

LIVE OR DIE

Intravenous information
Way too much explanation
Getting to my circulation
Spin me round
I get high

I wanna know
You wanna know
To live or die
I wanna know
We wanna know
To live or die

From the sea or sky
It’s all the same
From the north and south
It’s all the same
It’s wet or dry
Feast or famine
Do this, do that, do something
Can’t be doing nothing

More and more…
On and on…

More and more…
On and on…
I can’t stop

It’s all too easy
I turn on the power
It’s never gonna touch me
It’s all too easy
Complete strangers
So far away
So far away

Needle drip drop overload 
Twist and turn hand it over
Play the game kick the can  
Spin the boy
I get high

More and more…
On and on…

More and more…
On and on…
I can’t stop

I wanna know
You wanna know
To live or die
To die
I wanna know
We wanna know
To live or die
To die

Live Or Die

Give in

Are you awake?
It doesn’t matter anyway
I pull the brake
It’s neither Monday nor the lord’s day

Pretty little thoughts
Surrounded by knots
Bombshells and fears 
Crowded people that cheers
Is it time to give in?
Watch the others spin?

I think you’re awake
Does it all make sense?
I think we release the brake
It’s for our own defence
I have no faith in the politics
Nevermind, it was a joke
But I’m afraid of the reaper
And I think we’re broke

Give in

Hope - Lyrics by Mark Jackson

Well I hope someday that you know how it feels to be lost going nowhere
Well I hope someday that you know how it feels to see the people stare
I’ve been stripped of my pride, my heart opened wide
Lord knows what’s inside but I hope someday to find it
I must confess, I’ve been so stressed, my life is a mess
You know I don’t even seem to mind it

Well I hope someday somebody comes to save me, but I doubt they ever will
I hope someday somebody comes to save me, just take me away from here
I shouldn’t lie it’s so hard to try to say goodbye you know everybody needs a friend
It’s a crazy thing what the bad times can bring, a birds broken wings, it’ll never fly again

Well I hope someday that people will say that I did I did my very best
I hope someday that people will say I always, I always seem to make them laugh
Through sickness and health, poor times and wealth, each hand that I’m dealt, I always try to stay the same. Through thick and through thin I bounce back again, I lose then I win, and I’m always ready to play the game

Oh yeah, hoping things will be fine someday
Hoping things will be fine someday
Hoping things will be fine someday

Hope

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)

Thanks for visiting. This is a retro eclectic music mix with looming influences from among others Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Lou Reed & Jon Lord. Mostly I write about the human condition.

I am always looking for a guitar player that wants to collaborate. Would be fun to find a real drummer also.

A Gat is a cat in Catalan - it all makes sense if you’re me. The (s) stands for many collaborators.

I encourage everybody on SC to listen more and be less transactional.
