The Defenders: 20 Spectacular new songs from the SoundCloud community

Sublime Roo's 8th release.

'Firstly, I want to say a massive thank you to so many of you for supporting me on my musical journey so far. I am still trying to catch up with all the beautiful messages & tweets of support & encouragement whilst I have been (mainly) away for a couple of months. 

I am still juggling some big life-challenges and may be quite intermittent for a while longer but I have been working away in the background despite a reduced social media presence. 

Enough about that & onto the music!

This track is a kind of 'Trancey/Hip-Hop' type track.
When I wrote this several years ago I was having some turbulent times, so again, I felt it was appropriate to release it around about now... 

As some of you are aware, I have had and am still having some difficult times again recently, however I'd rather reflect that to you through my music, as I am not the only one in life who struggles or goes through difficult times of course. 

As I'd rather not bring you down with the 'why's & wherefores' (because no doubt you have enough on your plate already) or you just wanted to enjoy some music without feeling burdened by my problems... Then I can instead, give you an insight into my situation & how I feel sometimes, by sharing my past & current struggles with you, through the expression of sounds & images that I created during these times...

I hope that anyone else who needs to process difficult times at the moment can gain some peace & comfort through this instrumental that I created, knowing, you are not alone... and that it is okay to not be okay sometimes...
 
We keep the music rolling! 
We ebb.
We flow.
We fly.
We fall... 
...but we must keep getting up again & keep on keeping on... 
We are mighty!
We are wonderful!
We are one!

Let's keep it nice! 
Let's keep it wavy! 
Be good to yourself! 
Be good to others!
Until next time...
Peace, One Love, Justice & Unity for all 🌍✌🏼❤️💛💚

Paroles / Lyrics:

Ce samedi
tu as sorti 
ton cerf-volant
innocemment
comme un enfant
sans vraiment te soucier du temps.
En pleine nuit
tu as sorti 
ton cerf-volant
le laissant 
filer vers le firmament...

En catimini
tu as sorti 
ton cerf-volant
comme un enfant
pour ne plus toucher terre
Rouge cœur solitaire
à l'abri du vent
dans ton appartement.

Sacré samedi
fin de semaine !..
Sacré samedi !..

Ce samedi
tu as sorti 
ton cerf-volant
comme un enfant
t'accrochant
à la corde t'envolant
à l'abri du vent
dans ton appartement.

Satané samedi
fin de semaine !..
... et ta vie
au bout d'un fil de laine...
... et ta vie
au bout d'un fil de laine...
... et ta vie
au bout d'un fil de laine...

Ton cerf-volant (Your Kite)

Ton cerf-volant (Your Kite) [Levitan & Lukowig]

"The beatings. The coldness. You never saw a smile."

Jimmy Stewart recounts experiences which are piercingly harrowing - but not uncommon.

He is one of thousands of survivors of institutions for children in Northern Ireland, where abuse of young residents was widespread.

When he was eight, Jimmy was taken into Nazareth Lodge in Belfast - a place he quietly describes as "a nightmare".

His mother had died of cancer, aged 32. His father was deaf and unable to speak.

"Though he tried to look after us, he couldn't," Jimmy says.

He remembers the nun who met him and his younger brother Patrick at the door called them "wee mongrels".

The boys didn't know what that meant at the time, but later learned it was a reference to his parents' mixed marriage - one was a Catholic, the other a Protestant.

Jimmy Stewart remembers getting "the mother and father of all beatings" after he ran at a nun when she was physically abusing his younger brother, Patrick.

The vivid nature of his memories are clear when he describes how a nun beat him "with her weapon of choice - a rung from a baby's cot, with piping and light blue paint on it".

Explaining how he became an alcoholic, Jimmy says: "If you ask anyone who's a heavy drinker, they'll tell you that you don't dream in a drunken sleep.

"You don't have nightmares. You don't have flashbacks. It numbs you. Keeps all that stuff away. Until the point it's going to kill you. Which it nearly did to me."

He describes spending "three years behind a locked door in my own house".

"I hadn't bathed or shaved. I think the last three months I spent in the same bathrobe."

He began to recover after he went into hospital.

But his older brother, Victor, "drank himself to death".

Jimmy becomes particularly emotional when he talks about how Victor was "so much changed" by what happened in Rubane House.

"We were always close. But those years took it out of us."

As an adult, Victor "couldn't discuss it - he probably didn't think there was any help for him".

Jimmy regrets deeply that Victor hasn't lived to hear the state apology.

Lyrics.

Hello little mongrel
Come on in
This is just the place
To cure you of your sin

We'll beat you black and blue
With whatever comes to hand
You'll learn to obey
All of our demands

I drink to hide the flashbacks
I drink to numb my mind
Therapy's no good for me
I'm afraid what I will find

You took me and my brothers
Took us down to hell
We never had a smile or love
Became an empty shell

I can't believe in afterlife
I wish I could at times
They'd throw you in the darkest place
To pay for all your crimes

I drink to hide the flashbacks
I drink to numb my mind
Therapy's no good for me
I'm afraid what I will find

You got away with everything
Now you're not here to find
The children trusted to your care
You left broken and maligned

Suffer The Little Children

Another forgotten song that has been hanging around in my files for some time.  I finally decided to share it with the public.

Sparkling Eyes

Intro:
Since I first saw them
Those eye had me at first glance

Verse 1:
Yes I love those Sparkling eyes
Those deep intense eyes of yours
They send me on wonderful highs
That take everything with no cures

Chorus:
Sparkling eyes
Shining so bright
Helps me realize
Everything’s all right

Verse 2:
I look at them in wonder
They shoot those beams like thunder
When the sun shines 
There are so many signs

Verse 3:
It is their wonderful duty
To make you a beauty
They are what make you 
such a fabulous brew

Sparkling Eyes

BS, one day I'll finish something of my own LOL

(Written by Terry Reeves)
Terry Reeves: Vocals
Hans Albers: All instruments, arrangement and production.

Einstein determined that time is relative and that the rate at which it passes depends on your frame of reference.  Now I’m not saying that I’m much of a scholar of his work but what I do know is that when the Covid pandemic was at it’s height and we were all confined to our homes, many of those that I spoke to didn’t even know where in the week we were, let alone the time of day, so yer man Einstein probably had a point.

This song was written long before the pandemic surfaced and came during telephone and email conversations I had with my two fellow Cripple Club garage band members, Gary and Hans . For example, I was chatting to Gal one day when he said “You know, I just can’t get the hang of time, these days.  Weeks seem to just merge into each other”. 

On the very same day, Hans sent me an email in which he stated "I’m really struggling to get the hang of time at the moment…” As someone who spends much of his time at home anyway, the two ‘hang of time’ statements did resonate with me and therefore carried an intriguing synchronicity.  I’m not someone who thinks these things have any mystical significance but the fact that they had both used precisely the same expression on the same day certainly placed the idea for this song in my mind.

Thanks again to Hans for taking the concept and formulating it so brilliantly into his arrangement for the song.  And many thanks to you for listening.
(Terry Reeves)

I just can’t get the hang of time
Tomorrow seemed a million miles behind
And yet a date turns up in front of mind
What more to remember or try to find

I just can’t get the hang of time

Another month goes by without a breath
Although breathing in moves me to the left
Time to the right can cause calendar theft
Pitching very low sounds to a musical clef

I just can’t get the hang of time

No shaking up time without showing my age
As click track continues keep missing the page
Never losing my temper but cheating a rage
There is never a tempo that keeps sounds in a cage

I just can’t get the hang of time (Repeat)

BREAK

Qualified people pointing a direction to live
Not one understands why I’m mentally captive
Each box with a tick but the time doesn’t give
My Individual need making all words so inactive

I just can’t get the hang of time

A window reflection shows a man with a beard 
Tuesday or Wednesday? All days disappeared
I just can’t get the hang of time
It wasn’t meant to be an ageing skill of mine.

I just can’t get the hang of time

The Mysterious Decibel - Poop In The Paint

Part of an original music short series

Lyrics, instrumental, Vocals, Sounds, mix, song structure - The Mysterious Decibel

Vocals Mixed and mastered by: Wiener Noose

Lyrics:

Mama always told me the best revenge is just sporting a smile and letting it go
My perception of such turned twisted and rough
Diarrhea in the paint 
Feces right in the paint
Have your enemies fume with the fumes
The silent chaos dries in the brown rooms
With a third eye pink
With the golden crust
Beauty etched in waste, Your pain is tied to my waist.

Diarrhea in the paint
Feces right in the paint

Poop In The Paint

https://dominiquelebars1.bandcamp.com/track/jaime-pas

"J' aime pas quand la tartine tombe parterre du côté confiture
Ca m' rappelle que j' vais mourir un jour
J' aime pas les polochons, les chaucidous, 
Le saucisson aux choux et les chats qui sont trop mignons
J' suis pas à l'aise dans mon époque,  j' suis engoncé comme dans un froc
Bien trop serré pour mes petites breloques
J' rêve d'espace et d'impatience le soir sur le pont de mes souvenirs
J' aime pas l' béton, les sarcophages, j'aime pas les cons ni l' maquillage
J' aime pas les autres et j' m' aime pas moi
Ca fait beaucoup oui j' suis d'accord, Ca fait beaucoup oui je sais bien, 
Mais c'est comme ça.."

Lyrics:
Wake me up
We're all dead
Descending down a river of red
No balloons down here
Blind backs to the spear
Just ducks and dinosaurs on the monopoly board

You know you're on something when the thoughts are pumping
and you look at your fries with big red eyes
The fries on your lap stare right back
You look and confirm that they look like salt and worms

What are your terms?
I'm filled with rage!
A monster made, A man signs the bottom of the page

The Mysterious Decibel - Deep Fried Heartbreak 💔

Lyrics, instrumental, Vocals, Sounds, mix, song structure - The Mysterious Decibel

Vocal mix/master: Mark McClellan 

Listen to the instrumental here:
https://soundcloud.com/themysteriousdecibel/deep-fried-heartbreak-instrumental

Lyrics:
Why did you pull my heart right out of my chest?
Throw it on the chopping block with all the rest?
Dabbed them all in sauce, Cuz you said that's the zest!
The oil screams with the final quest!

To get the.. 
Deep fried heartbreak
A stinging flavor
Deep fried heartbreak
Am I my savior?
Deep fried heartbreak
We're all in the line
crystalizing, capsizing, going south of benign

I am the eater
The cheater
the breaker
the taker
The shadow of misery that meets your maker
Can you pick which one is yours?
No, cuz you're dead!
You were dead before
Now your heart is the dance floor
Down here where no water exists
I drink the tears of the broken, love fades in the mist
Until I slash out your heart, while I steal another
Manifest them all on the surface, smother them in butter!

Deep fried heartbreak
Deep fried heartbreak
Deep fried heartbreak
We're all in the line!

Deep Fried Heartbreak

The Mysterious Decibel - Oblivious To Darkness

Lyrics, instrumental, Vocals, Sounds, mix, song structure - The Mysterious Decibel

Hear the instrumental version here:
https://soundcloud.com/themysteriousdecibel/oblivious-to-darkness-instrumental

Lyrics: 

Darkness..
Darkness is a hypnotizing backwards mirror covered in ashes shrouding your view from the other side
The dark will bind and the force of it will pull at your being and you'll end up locked in the residue and be too numb to even know its damages... 
Don't get caught in the dark for too long

Do you remember the dismemberment of the shell that kept the face paint strong and retained the spell?
We become oblivious when we look in the abyss
It takes hold and poisons you with the mist

Do we ever really stay in light?
Or is the dark just too damn numb of a bite?
Too far in to even crawl right out
The dark has its finger locked right in my snout

We are all the shape shifter
Walking the road like a lonely drifter

Darkness has a tendency to be a dreadful lace to turn a common face into a peculiar trace
Too long in the swell a never ending swan song of my shadows..
My shadows!

Remember when you crawled?
Remember where you stood?
Remember the times you stalled?
If I could go back, I would
Time blooms a shell but where the hell have I been?
Neuropathy, i can't seem to feel this murky suit that I'm in.

Do we ever really stay in light?
Or is the dark just too damn numb of a bite?
Too far in to even crawl right out
The dark has its finger locked right in my snout

We are all the shape shifter
Walking the road like a lonely drifter

Reach me!

Oblivious To Darkness

The Mysterious Decibel - Grand Hump of Niagara

Lyrics, instrumental, Vocals, Sounds, mix, song structure - The Mysterious Decibel

Lyrics:

Towering over the city of Niagara
Billowing up to the sky
Our growing hill of Microsoft
But this one hails the flies
Ground control to major stench
Our guts are wrenched in the city of plea
Feed the tumor
Watch it grow
So high, any god above will know

Look in the horizon
I can't see the sun
Unholy hump of one
A million tons

The falls spits down with the raging waters
The hump is rising and so are its daughters
Dump truck convoy never sleeps
While the noses gently weep
The scent of the demon's morning queef
Sulfur and eggs with a hint of grief 
So come on down if you feel alive to the base of the grand hump of Niagara!

Grand Hump Of Niagara

Evocative song to listen to without hurry... most serious job I've done lately, say no more.

Letra / Translated lyrics:

SI TÚ ME FALTARAS  /  IF I MISSED YOU

Abre tu risa mis ojos,  /  Your laugh opens my eyes,
olor a café por la mañana…  /  smell of coffee in the morning…
Para murmurarte un beso  /  So as to whisper you a kiss
me levanto de la cama.  /  I get up from the bed.

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

Me despierta muy temprano  /  Wakes me up very early
el olor de tu cuerpo a mi lado.  /  the smell of your body beside me.
Para que se haga de noche pronto  /  So that it gets dark soon
rápidamente me he levantado.  /  I have got up fast.

Siento que mi vida se desliza por el sabor tan suave de tu cuello y de tus besos.  /
I feel my life slips along such a soft flavor of your neck and your kisses.

Puedo ser ligero como el aire y filtrarme con mi fuego en tus sueños y en tus deseos.  /
I can be as light as air and percolate with my fire into your dreams and your desires.

Busco el momento cada día de volver para gozarte, para olerte, para amarte…  /
I look for the moment every day to come back so as to enjoy you, to smell you, to love you … 

para amarte, sí, aaaay! para amarte.  /  to love you, yes, aaaay! to love you.

Juega tu lengua en mi cerebro,  /  Your tonge plays in my brain,
recorren mi espalda tus caricias.  /  your caresses cross my back.
Miro el reloj y suspiro,  /  I look at the clock and sigh,
deseando que acabe el día.  /  wishing the day to finish. 

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

Lyrics:
the paper sun has gone down now
for shining eight miles away
no mad man's running through the fields now
no longer he lives for today

the purple haze has passed away now
and lucy's now a daughter of eve
the iron butterfly has vanished
so light my fire before we leave

come take my hand
we dive into the kaleidoscope
where green circles wait
watch me i am gonna fade away

a former psychedelic siren
now part of the music business scene
is casting spells only for money
 the white rabbits hide in lemon trees

come take my hand
we dive into the kaleidoscope
where green circles wait
watch me i am gonna fade
