Nada (He pensado en la muerte)

System Music - With AnandaTuk

New Eyes - With DJayz Shadow

Visitors is a track that's inspire by Sci-fi and aliens. What if ?  Yea what if an alien landed on this Earth not just anywhere on Earth. Imagine if an alien ship landing right next to a rave festival. All the ravers dancing to the beat, all connected through the love of music. What do think the alien would do? The alien would get pulled into the arena my the thumping bass and the hypnotic sounds and atmosphere of peace. What if the alien loved it and didn't what to leave, Now wouldn't that be a night. 
I hope you enjoy this latest track from me, have a great trip.

The Break in Tranquility

The Break In Tranquility

The Suicide Squad (Score from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Mayhem on the Beach

Death of a generation written and produced by Jim Manser
mixed and mastered by Russ Sinfield
drum programming by Russ Sinfiled
taken from the forth-coming album Tales of generation x 
2023
lyrics 
let the birds fly free from the cage
a demonstration for freedom and this age
you left me hanging tell me how you feel
who broke the butterfly on a wheel
what we need is a revolution or nothing gonna change
fly the flags of a new solution power,greed ,and rage
spirit of the age

Death of a generation tell me what went wrong
for the peace and a new sensation who wrote another song
Death of a generation who signed an epitaph
all the clowns and the politicians who cut us down in half

who led the madmen from this house
rampaging elephants your the mouse
they smashed the kingdom broke down the fear
now it makes me wonder whats been left here
all the shops are empty because of capital gain
and you dont  even remember now things all look the same 
when thy crashed the plane
death of a generation what have we got left 
death of a generation they got away with theft
Death of a generation they want to take control
all the clowns and the politicians who want to take control
Death of a generation they thought they would change thhe world
but they lost all there levitation and all the dreams got sold
Death of a Generation they gave it all away
all the fools and the aggravation whats been left today
nothing left to say [lyrics by jim manser 2023]

you-tube video link

Death of a Generation [watch the video on youtube]

This one is about being able to see what is really going on in the world, at least according to what I see.....Look closely at the events in front of you and trust no one but your maker...

Can you see it now?
Can you see it now?
I really don't know how
That you can't see it now.

It's there before your eyes
They feel no need to hide
And it is no surprise
That all they've done is lied
To every one of us
The poor, the weak and frail
The blind, the virtuous
They want us all in Hell

I told you criminals
Have taken over now
And if we don't stop them
They will tear it down

Just like the predator
They need more meat to devour
Nothing's off limits
These things make no sense
And we need
To figure it out
Who is behind
All of these crimes
Against all mankind

These are crimes
Against all of mankind

Can you see it now?
Can you see it?
Really don't know how
That you, that you, that you
can't see
can't see it

Can you see it now?
Can you see it now?
Can you see it?
Really, can't you see it?

They think we're all blind
But now its time
Heads must now roll away
Off the chopping block
Now off with blindfolds
Let God take control

Their time has come
Their time has come
Their time has come

Keep on praying
Got to keep praying
Keep on praying
Got to keep praying

Standing strong
Not fallen
Listen to the graves
Of our angry fathers calling
Bring them down
Bring them down
Bring them down

Can you see it now?
Can you see it now?
I really don't know how
Why you can't see it now.
It's there before your eyes
It's there before your eyes
It's there before
It's there before
It's there before
Your eyes

Take them out
Take them all out
Take them all out
Take them all out

Take them so far away
Take them away to
Take them today now today
Just take them
I just can't stand the smell
Take them all to Hell
I just can't stand the smell
Take them all to

Hell, Hell, Hell, Hell, Down, Down, Down, Down

Can You See It Now?

Can You See It Now? Feat. Brian "Red" Moore

2nd Accident - Guiding Flames

Official Summer Remix of the title track from KAUTZ's sophomore album, "We're All Gonna Die".

We're All Gonna Die (Summer Remix)

IL FAUT TAIRE LE TEMPS

Les vérités fragiles, celles qui indisposent
Des heures indociles qui vieillissent les roses
Sous des lueurs ingrates dans ce compte à rebours
Les années qui partent aux allers sans retour.

Les folles images sans oraisons verbeuses
Nous tournent la page des idées voyageuses
Devant ces rêves fanés de pensées furtives
Le souvenir d’un passé aux humeurs positives.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

Sous couvert d’absolu, larguer le mauvais sang
Vers des terres inconnues au milieu d’océans
S’oublier des hier sans se moquer de tout
Il reste tant à faire pour aller jusqu'au bout.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

En rêvant de son mieux, vers de jolies pensées
Un sourire dans ses yeux ne peut faire qu'avancer
La vie est ainsi faite, elle va, elle vient, elle fuit
Et même quand tout s'arrête, rien n'est jamais fini.

Mais regardons l'avenir, il reste tant de choses
Beaucoup d'éclats de rire qui font les vies en rose
Profitons du bonheur en vivant ce présent
Et sans penser à l'heure qui brisera ce temps.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
En vivant les instants… en vivant simplement.

IL FAUT TAIRE LE TEMPS (Chanson Française)

I always like to tell a story in a song, and this one tells a tale of misfortune, starting out looking like fate, while ending up as a tale of woe that is all fun in the telling. I started the tune, created the framework, and set the stage in Verse 1 and chorus and passed it off to Keith for him to continue to take the tune in any direction he wanted...and...well...darned if he didn't go and do just that...beep!   ;)

Lyrics:
 You Baby You

V1.  The time had come for me to leave, I grabbed my jacket and my cap
I slid my glass along the bar and I slipped out in the back
I didn’t see the car approach as I stepped out from the curb …ow -owowow!
I didn’t see it was you baby, you baby, you baby, it was you behind the wheel
You baby, you baby, you baby, you baby…you behind that wheel
I’ll never forget, the look in your eyes glancing at me as I flew over the hood
Your rag-top down, I ended up in the back seat upside-down
Ya only get one shot to make it right, Can I get ya number here tonight?
It was you baby, you baby, you baby…you for me

V2. Well three years later and it’s a pretty romance
She stood on my toes, but she taught me to dance
Every damn morning, well, a she burning my toast
But she is quite a good looker, so I don’t like to boast
My Mama say “She was never fair maid…
“Nothing comes cheap when you gotta pay”
She said: “Nothing is cheap, if you gotta pay!”
I thought she was crazy, clumsy and cheap
But so damn pretty that she makes me go… Beep! 
I’m telling you baby, you baby, you baby, you baby, yeah…you and me
I’m telling you baby, you baby, you baby, yeah…you and me
Ya just get one shot at this life…So pull out  ya finger and make it count
You baby, you baby, you baby…You and me

V3. So… this is where it ended, all my life in disarray …old timer
I thought I’d gotten away with it, but boy did she make me pay
She said one day she a come back, when all her cash runs out
But now I gotten my trailer I can’t put up with my back put out
I thought she was crazy, clumsy and cheap
But so damn pretty she can still make me go… beep!
Argh…no, no, no!
You baby, you baby, you baby, you baby, yeah…you and me
You baby, you baby, you baby, you baby, yeah…you and me
The animals went in two by two, I guess we done it too
Ooooh you baby, you baby, you baby, you baby, yeah…you and me
We just get one shot at this life…So pull out ya finger and make it count
You baby, you baby, you baby…You and me…ho-ho!

Echoes Of Eternity

When I first heard this song on Kyle's (Ultrasonic Pest Repellant-- @ultrasonic_pest_repellent ) page, I immediately was drawn to it. I love the sitar, and he had just released a batch of unfinished sitar ideas. So, he let me play with this one. To his guitar, bass, sitar, and drums, I added an organ and a lap slide part. I really had a lot of fun with this one, as it was a real challenge to get right. If you're not familiar with Kyle's music, do yourself a favor and check it out! We hope you like our collaboration. 
Lyrics:
Cars crashing, windows smashing
God’s laughing to the sound of hurricanes and thunder
Blood splatters, nothing matters,
Need some answers to the questions we are asking
Within


Sitting at my seat, carpet at my feet
Patterns arranged so that the cycle is complete
Patterns made the blood has already has been stained
What’s happened once will happen again it’s been engrained


People clapping, limbs are snapping
Sinners lapping up the blood of the everlasting
Wind swirling, pages turning
Flesh burning as the sound of guns are blasting
Within

AFK, I´m offline AFK, I´m offline
I am from the underdogs
working trash, low income employees
I prefere a simple life
without applause, behind the scenes
AFK, I´m offline AFK, I´m offline
I live beside the screen
Fantasy is energy
I am not a target for

We're Counting On You

Years have passed and I will never forget my one regret. A friend of mine jumped off of the Tobin Bridge in Boston because of the pressure his family put on him to send money back to them in his native country - They should all be crucified. This is my recollection. I should have been there for him that day - instead I was looking to be seen "AGAIN" - always craved attention... Full lyrics below
"
who was I to you guess I was just a ghost reached out to everyone and played the clown but it turned out you needed me the most I wish i never ever let you down - but I was just a kid and i was oh so blind blinded by the selfishness that swallowed up my time craving the attention I missed out on as a child and made you feel alone that day in your darkest hour please forgive me cause I cant forgive myself so many days go by when I wish I was someone else I was just a kid wasn't there for you I know it wasn't what I did it was what I didn't do.
Was in the lunchroom making a cup of Joe - when you walked in trying to compose yourself - I felt like there was something I should know - but i bit my tongue cause I didn't want to pry - saw it in your eyes you were alone but carried on as if I didn't care truth was I was having a bad day consumed with all the problems of my own - but I was just a kid and I was oh so blind blinded by the selfishness that swallowed up my time craving the attention I missed out on as a child and made you feel alone that day in your darkest hour please forgive me cause I cant forgive myself so many days go by when I wish I was someone else I was just a kid wasn't there for you I know it wasn't what I did it was what I didn't do.
The next morning state police had questioned me they said that you had jumped the night before and even though they placed no blame on me - my aura showed that I was ugly
but I was just a kid and I was oh so blind blinded by the selfishness that swallowed up my time craving the attention I missed out on as a child and made you feel alone that day in your darkest hour please forgive me cause I cant forgive myself so many days go by when I wish I was someone else I was just a kid wasn't there for you I know it wasn't what I did it was what I didn't do.
please forgive me cause I cant forgive myself so many days go by when I wish I was someone else I was just a kid wasn't there for you I know it wasn't what I did it was what I didn't d----

When the wonderful Sarah Golding mentioned to me that she would like to work with me again, I jumped at the chance. She has been a joy to work with and I am so proud of what we have created here.
You can hear more of Sarah at https://soundcloud.com/voiceofgolding

Her lyrics are shown below:

Hey shadow in the morning mist
Eyes of grey
Hey stranger, could you be the one?
Or the one that walked away?

Never mind destiny
What good is chance you never take?

Hey profile in the fog of night
Fade to black
Hey mystery, how would it end
If I turned back?

Never mind certainty
You can’t know
What serendipity you may forgo on another tack

Hey stranger (hey stranger)
Beautiful stranger

Hey moment, child of entropy
Pass me by
Each fleeting, tied to another day
In another life

Turn strange kaleidoscope
Vignettes in time
Hey stranger through the mist
Eyes wide
