the dawn is ours
somehow we can do it

(amanda gorman)

the dawn is ours

Dedicated to some folks in my life who've picked me up along the way, especially through music...

This is one I'm pretty proud of.  Oddly, it's the first time I’ve written a full original song with me singing my own lyrics. I'm joined by the uber talented @TexMex-Shaman, who is wielding the lead electric guitar starting at the first verse through to the end. (this is the second time now where my vocal melody is partly inspired by his magical playing!) He also lends his mastering skillz to great effect here. Thanks TMS for truly bringing this to life with your playing! 
All other instruments are played by me on the keyboard - acoustic guitar, bass, organ, Wurlitzer electric piano, 2nd electric guitar (the higher one in verse 2), horns, drums & percussion, words and voice. The chorus is supposed to sound like a 60's soul song, like Marvin Gaye meets Van Morrison. 
If you play this more than once I'm sorry but I'm afraid you'll be stuck with it in your head all day.  :)

This one's a personal one for me, so thanks for listening, and for picking us up with your music!

LYRICS: 

Verse 1
alone in the corner, that old six string whispers to me
ah but when daddy played, he could set your spirit free 
like the drops in the rain, or a forest tall and green
there's music alive all around
and mamma she told me, you must listen for more than the sound
and hear with your heart

Chorus     
(And then she’d) 
pick me up higher, pick me up higher, pick me up higher
pick me up, lift me up, build me up,  
pick me up higher, pick me up higher, pick me up higher
pick me up, lift me up, build me up, 
pick me up higher 

Verse 2
Now I’m writing my own song… makin’ music with old friends and new
But the joy of my days, are my beautiful daughter and you
And when you play that song, she would close her eyes and sway
all the while as she sings
And man when I hear her, whispered memories they lift me up still
like a bird on the wind

Chorus

Being doing what

Snow After The Raid

if somebody could see
the truth of me
to recognise the fraud
the fallacy 

the fraud
the lies
the whore
and the surprise

the fraud
the lies
the whore (and the)
surprise

the horny shameless stut
the dirty little 50 buck (whore)
the flirty filthy hungry butt

that wants them all
the endless tweakin’ booty calls
she wants to ball

she wants to give it to them all
she wants to take it 
she wants to make it in the toilet stall 

she’s on the dog

to pleasure you with everything you want

to pleasure you 
to pleasure you when you’re in deep 
to pleasure you 
to pleasure and excite you 

to stay on you all night 
treasure all of your delights 

to have you
to hold you 
to grab you
swallow you

want me want me want me want me
take me take me take me take me
pound me pound me pound me pound me
brake me break me break me break me

do it to me do it to me
like a beast like an animal

like I’m a feast and you’re a cannibal

i want you
to savage me

i want you

to pleasure you with everything you want

to pleasure you 
to pleasure you when you’re in deep 
to pleasure you 
to pleasure and excite you 

to stay on you all night

want me want me want me want me
take me take me take me take me
pound me pound me pound me pound me
brake me break me break me break me

“Cough Syrup Grenade” is not a song, it’s a middle finger wrapped in barbed wire and flung through your headphones. 💣🧃💥 With filthy riffs, shouted gang vocals, and broken-glass poetry, Erect Sandwich unloads every ounce of rage, mockery, and zero-fucks energy.

Buried beneath the chaos?
A few twisted moments of melody, not to soothe you, but to remind you how bad it hurts.
Drink up. Spit fire. Smash pretty things. 💀🔥🎤

Cough Syrup Grenade (Erect Sandwich) (PROFANITY WARNING)

Just a little impromptu-ish take on "Anything You Can Do" from Irving Berlin's 1946 musical "Annie Get Your Gun".
I was joined by mezzo-soprano Bethan Morris, and the piano track was provided by Helen Roberts.

We were making a cake, and found that we are altogether much more fond of fondant than of guns...and honestly who would sign up for a mass shooting if they could join a cake tasting instead..

We hope you'll enjoy our inanities.

Anything You Can Do (Annie get your gun - Iving Berlin - the patissier's ed)

Hello and thank you so very much for visiting my soundcloud page.

Timeface Project stands for the Greek musician and sound designer Georgios Garganopoulos who was born in Rüsselsheim (Germany) 12/30/1967.

In the beginning of the 80s, the artist discovered his passion for the drums and started to play in various rock & pop bands at an early age.

At the same time, he went to a private music school where he extended his know-how and additionally learned to play the percussions.

The artist was inspired to compose music by himself when bands like Depeche Mode, New Order, OMD, Yazoo, Human League, Kraftwerk, etc. popped up in Germany in the Mid-80s. He bought his first synthesizer, a Korg Poly 800, to arrange sounds and melodies on his own; followed by the synthesizers M1 by Korg and Ensoniq which broadened his repertoire.

With his dear friend, the guitarist Pietro Sapienza, Georgios committed most of his spear time to playing music. In 1989 the first professional recording took place in a friend’s small studio. Fun and the success of recording the first tracks was more important than all the hard work of this night.

From 1990 to 1997 Georgios actively played the drums and percussions in the Greek music scene and was on stage with numerous popular Greek musicians. In 1997 the artist pulled out of the active music scene but returned in 2003 with new energy and full of creative and new ideas. Up to now, Georgios produces songs and sounds in his home Studio.


Genre: Synthpop, New Wave,  
Electropop, Italo-Disco, EDM,80s
