Un beau titre qui rapeele les belles année "Lou Reed,Bowie et autres....",un énorme bravo!!!...

Nice. Reminds me of the Beatles in the chord changes, harmonies. 

Love these turns of phrase perfectly timed and executed.  A captivating listen start to finish.  Genius songwriting.

We are all responsible...

THE TREES ARE FULL OF PLASTIC

The trees are full of plastic
The air is full of poisoned clouds
The music is so bad
It should be in the water 
Too drastic?
The leaders are mad
And we go for a walk in the burnt country
Amongst the quiet, dead animals
We have no credits for good behaviour
Nothing to spend, to give, or contribute
What were we thinking of?
What were we wishing for?
How did they get it so wrong?
How did they vote for this?

It wasn’t me

Suffocated by media
Deafened by notifications
Everyone agrees with me
They all agree with you
Doesn’t anybody talk
They walk 
In circles and mumble quietly
Scared of their sagging skin
In the mirror 
If someone sees them looking old they’ll be recycled
Too depressing
Too expensive
What were we thinking of?
What were we wishing for?
How did they get it so wrong?
How did we vote for this?

It wasn’t me

Paint me a colour
Make me fit
Eat me young
Soon we’ll cast a net and catch ourselves
Look me in the eye
Tell me you don’t know this already
All ready for tomorrow?
Tell me you don’t know this already
All ready for tomorrow?
Hiding in the safe spaces
Taking pictures of myself
To show the world I don’t say anything
I smile
I am happy
Oh yes, so happy!
Paint a picture
A thousand empty words
A thousand black and white words
No-one’s going home
Or even knows where it is
We’re homeless orphans of empty asylums
The devil’s been met 
The fishing nets bet
What were we thinking of?
What were we wishing for?
How did they get it so wrong?
How did we vote for this?

It wasn’t me...

The trees are full of plastic
"And you'll wonder where the yellow went
When you brush your teeth with Pepsodent"

What were we thinking of?
What were we wishing for?
How did they get it so wrong?
How did we vote for this?

"It wasn't me!"

The trees are full of plastic
"And you'll wonder where the yellow went
When you brush your teeth with Pepsodent"

It wasn't me...

The Trees Are Full Of Plastic

Spotify

I got a new toy and made all the music with it. Ok, I also used a bowed bass for the bass frequencies.

The spoken word deals with the concept of time. I got a little bit triggered by some wise-ass dude on the interwebz stating that "WE EXPERIENCE TIME MOVING FORWARD...."

Hey, speak for yourself, dude. Time does not MOVE... In fact, time really isn't a thing at all. It is as much a thing as blue is a colour... The wavelengths of light are real, but those are not colours...

LOL after some discussion, I kinda explain it this way. In our observation, we see the sun dawn in the morning, and set in the evening. But this is not the sun doing anything special: we see this as a result of the rotation of our planet.
Similarly, "we"  observe time to go by, but it's not time doing anything special, it is us, going by through time.

Time itself has no action, just like distance has no action. It requires action to pass over distance, as it requires action to pass through time. Welcome to life.

It Must Be Blue

the lyrics are a little weird if you ask me but i did like the sound of the vocals, they are part of a newly  discovered musicmaker for mobile phone, groovepad.  Just trying to find out how it sounds and works.
Also I used my own voice, ion usb midi keyboard/pianissimo, moog, synth.

I am awere there are tons  of other versions of this song available, this is just my take.

Merci !

Love,
Coccinella

Modern HH Gasoline

This is a recording of my bluegrass band, Cornbread playing a Phish song. The band consisted of Doug Fitzsimmons on vocals and percussion, Brad Barron on bass, the brothers Matt and Jon Check on banjo and guitar, respectively, and vocals, and yours truly on mandolin and vocals. We had a lot of fun in this band, even played on stage with Yonder Mountain String Band.

Don’t You Know You’re Killing Yourself?

Don’t you know you’re killing yourself
We have it all in writing
look around there’s nobody else
but that’s what’s exciting

What good has free will got you
Coffee or tea?
Don’t you know you’re killing yourself
How else could it be?

Can’t you see you’ve done this before
with no variation
Caught in a call you just can’t ignore
the same old situations 

You always catch me walking alone
or my identical twin
Can’t you see we’ve done this before
I know we’ll do it again

You’re so high, you feel dizzy
like a prehistoric bird
perched on a cliffs edge
sublime but absurd

Can’t you see you’re killing yourself
it’s written in the stars
you remind me of Nellie Bly 
or Belshazzar
 
I’m not here to tell you something
you don’t already know
Can’t you see you’re killing yourself
so it goes, so it goes

A New World

Composer since my youngest age ... I'm interested in all the music from the moment they transport me and give me emotions ... I play a dozen instruments and compositions, here, are played on the keyboard or with the real instrument because I'm not a programer except for a paid work...
I am above all a melodist ... I work very little texts is another job that also takes time!
There is no finished product here, these are only tests or covers for fun. I think I said everything to introduce myself, so good listening ... and it's nice to have read so far !
