Uplifting sound and vocals, very nice track!

very nice melodic and newave rock!!!! 😊✨✨✨✨

exciting production and great songwriting!

Fabulous retro pop song, wonderful vocals and changes, quite proggy like Rush in the 80s and poppy like Duran Duran when they were a really good band. :)

great production and a fantastic sounds, pure musical enjoyment

‘Laura’ is a song inspired by another song I wrote as a Jim Morrison obsessed teenager about his school friend, Laura, with whom I walked home from school. Entitled ‘Ship in the Night’, the original song has Laura cast as Thor’s mistress as she battles overcome the heartache and misery she is suffering. ‘Laura’ is me wondering, years later, whether she was ever able to escape the “dark angels” that hounded her during her salad days and find the happiness and love she craved.

‘Laura’ is backed with ‘Sunny Apocalypse’, a quirky reflection on the early part of the Covid pandemic in the form of a disaster movie dream in which Burton and co-star Holliday Grainger find themselves dodging ‘giant globs of Covid raining from the sky’.

Laura

Laura by RockCounsellor

公園

■歌詞
今日は　いつもより　早起きをして　鏡の前で　行ったり　来たり
昨日あわてて買った　シャツを羽織ってみる「これだ」

待ち合わせは　この場所に　12時半　
公園近くのオープンカフェで待つ　

何だか　この胸が　どきどき　苦しいな
少しだけ　涼しい風が　夏の終わりを告げた時
君が僕に手を振った

君はあまりにも軽やかな笑顔　多分　秋の　妖精　なんだろう
冷めたコーヒーを急いで飲み干して　君の魔法にかかりにゆく

少しだけ顔を　赤くして
何気ない会話も楽しいね

何だか　二人で歩く　公園は別世界
歩く音も　葉っぱの色も　匂いも　鮮やかだね
君の顔を木漏れ日が照らす

何だか　この胸が　わくわく　楽しいな
少しだけ　冷たい風が　僕らの間を通り抜けた時
手と手が触れあって　驚いた君の目
君と僕の　時間が　止まる

■ Lyrics (Google Translate)
Today I get up earlier than usual and come and go in front of the mirror
I tried putting on the shirt I bought in a hurry yesterday "This is it"

The meeting is at this place at 12:30
Wait at the open cafe near the park

Somehow, this chest is throbbing and painful
When a little cool breeze signals the end of summer
You waved at me

You're a too light smile, maybe an autumn fairy
Hurry up and drink the cold coffee and go to your magic

Make your face a little red
Casual conversation is also fun

Somehow, walking with two people, the park is a different world
The sound of walking, the color of the leaves, and the smell are vivid.
Sunbeams illuminate your face

Somehow, this chest is exciting and fun
When a little cold wind passes between us
Your eyes were surprised when your hands touched each other
Your and my time stops

■概要
少し涼しくなってきたので、秋をイメージして曲を作ってみました(^^)(2021/9/5)。

■ Overview
It's getting a little cooler, so I made a song with the image of autumn (^^) (2021/9/5).

Best not dare go near your mind
you won't be held responsible
for the darkness that we may find
guess that makes you unsavable

Sway and swagger don't really matter
cause I believed in you

Something's cooking in your kitchen
I can taste and feel the heat
noise erupting plates go crashing
flooded water under your slippery feet

Immerse yourself in pityfull play
I don't understand you at all
guess youve always been that way
set up the height then nudge us to fall

Prim and proper don't really matter
cause I believed in you

Something's cooking in your kitchen
I can taste and feel the heat
noise erupting plates go crashing
flooded water under your slippery feet

Everything I said and done made no difference at all
All the things I tried to do, could not get through to you
you shut out the voices you'd hear
except for the ones in your head I tried my best.

Something's cooking in your kitchen
I can taste and feel the heat
noise erupting plates go crashing
flooded water under your slippery feet

somethings cooking

This music goes with the 3rd chapter of a tale I'm writing and illustrating. I just published it here: https://ariad-music.com/textes/chapitre-3-guruguss/ It is in french, but I guess google translate or deepl can do a decent job for translating. This is the story of a headless character who explores the world of dreams in order to find again his head. In this third chapter, he discovers he's not alone in this situation and follows a guru. I did the music tonight with my keyboard, really simple, only MIDI/VST tracks. 

Quick resume to explain the music:
00:00 - 00:15: The headless character is happy, he believes he found his head.
00:15 - 01:30: His friend the magical bird reveals him that he just hallucinated. He tries to console him and bring him to the crooked city. 
01:30 - 03:40: The headless character find a group of headless people watching a show. He joins them and listen to a guru's speech.
03:40 - 07:10: Enchanted, he enters in the guru's spaceship, listen some of his bullshit speech and then realizes this sect is not great. The others reject him and he sees how shitty looks in reality their spaceship. 
07:10 - 07:40: Finally, even if he didn't find his head, he's happy like this.

These songs are influenced by images from the poem Dover Beach by Matthew Arnold. I’m not sure how this poem came to me, I’m not a big reader of poetry, but there is is. I used several images from the poem to name the songs, as well.

The Tide is Full

The Light Gleams And Is Gone

But We must keep the caravan moving forward.
Professor, We love you.

Day12 R.I.P.R.S.04142023 "caravan"

Swing Ticket

Pipe O'clopsy

words and music K Gennery

A song inspired by one of my favourite tv programmes, BBC's detectorists.

Words:
Fly on a recce surveying for clues,
a reflection or a sparkle, means the world to you.
Then you swoop down and take it and hide it up high,
a treasure trove of goodies, sway in the sky. 
And we all know.

Sunlight is your accomplice in tandem you toil,
hour after hour, through bush, grass and soil.
Probing for that moment, discover like no other,
decades lay unfound, riches abound.

What you need is shimmering, all kinds of precious things,
like rubys and diamond rings they all catch your eye.
And when you see it glimmering, all kinds of pretty things,
you have to stop never pass on by....magpie.

When you find your rainbow,
with it's own crock of gold.
Keep it to yourself secrets never to be told.
And I'll pop on my top hat and tip it towards you,
a gesture for tradition somewhat long forgotten.

What you need is shimmering, all kinds of precious things,
like rubys and diamond rings they all catch your eye.
And when you see it glimmering, all kinds of pretty things,
you have to stop never pass on by....magpie.
