Lullaby for Bunnies / مرجان فرساد - لالایی برای خرگوش ها

This song is about inner fight of feelings between love and desire. It will take you through different scenes: meditation, passion, happiness, frustration, adoration, excitation & relaxation.

I think it will be one of my top tracks ever, but after too many attempts for a definitive mix, it must go out as it is or I’ll go crazy(er). Please give me some feedback.

Maybe a nice trial: https://soundcloud.com/esemanolain-ruizzo/estoy-confundido-piano-version

LETRA  /  LYRICS :

Estoy confundido (Eres tan bonita...)  /  I am confused (You’re so beautiful...)

(1) Te alejas con una sonrisa breve,  /  (1) You leave with a brief smile,
difícil de olvidar.  /  difficult to forget.
Te alejas sin miedo  /  You leave without fear
de no volverme a encontrar.  /  of not finding me again.

Se aleja mi corazón de golpe,  /  My heart leaves at one stroke,
al oírte decir adiós.  /  hearing you say good bye.
No quiero que digas eso,  /  Don’t want you to say so,
no quiero que olvides mi voz.  /  don’t want you to forget my voice.

Si aparecen regueros de lágrimas,  /  If streams of tears appear,
No llores de pena (bis)  /  don’t you cry of sorrow. (bis)
Si bajan mojándome las mejillas,  /  If they go down wetting my cheeks,
No llores de pena (bis)  /  don’t you cry of sorrow. (bis)

(1) Te alejas…  /  (1) You leave …

Eres tan bonita…  /  You are so beautiful …
que a veces he estado confundido.  /  that sometimes I have been confused.
He llorado en la cama (bis)  /  I have cried in bed (bis)

Eres tan bonita…  /  You are so beautiful …
Que a veces se me olvida que te quiero  /  that sometimes I forget that I love you
Y sólo recuerdo que te deseo.  /  and I only remember that I desire you.
Confundido he llorado en la cama (bis)  /  Confused I have cried in bed (bis)
 
Y lloro porque al mismo tiempo  /  And I cry because at the same time
quiero respetarte,  /  I want to respect you,
y lloro porque al mismo tiempo  /  and I cry because at the same time
quiero poseerte.  /  I want to possess you.

Lost In The SoundCloud Stream

Recorded at Sonic Landscapes Studio ~ Jackson, Michigan, USA.........With a Takamine acoustic guitar (Edward)...........Turned out to be a little longer than I expected, guess that's what happens when the emotions take over :-)   ~SC~

Sometimes you find yourself trapped in the corner, forced to choose between family and someone you love so deeply that they just can't, or are not willing to understand.........so in the end, you have to make the decisions that make the most sense for your life ~ that's what this song is about.........

"Reflection"
Hello.....do I know you
I don't.....recognize your face
You seem......vaguely familiar
I can't.....remember your name
The way your looking at me
You must know who I am
But I'll never understand why you drew that line in the sand
That was the day I turned and walked away
Because you don't even know who I am

Now.....I'm a ghost, I'm a shadow
I'm a stranger that you don't know
To you.....I'm just a body without a soul
I'm here.....but you can't see me
To you.....I'm invisible
I'm a reflection of somebody you used to know
Just a reflection of someone you used to hold
I'm a reflection of somebody you used to know
Just a reflection of a hand you used to hold

In this life we all make choices
It's a journey or so I've been told
We come across many splits
On this long and winding road
Well I've carved out my own path
Right or wrong, it's made me who I am
But I'll never understand why you drew that line in the sand
That was the day I turned and walked away
Because you don't even know who I am

Now.....I'm a ghost, I'm a shadow
I'm a stranger that you don't know
To you.....I'm just a body without a soul
I'm here.....but you can't see me
To you.....I'm invisible
I'm a reflection of somebody you used to know
Just a reflection of someone you used to hold
I'm a reflection of somebody you used to know
Just a reflection of a hand you used to hold

Now I'm a ghost.....I'm a shadow
I'm a ghost.....I'm a shadow
I'm a ghost.....I'm a shadow
I'm a stranger you used to know
To you I'm invisible

I'm a reflection of somebody you used to know
Just a reflection of a person you used to hold
I'm a reflection of somebody you used to know
Just a reflection of a hand you used to hold


Reflection

Where do I start!  Tom wrote a gorgeous song for me to sing and he reached out to our lovely Soundcloud scribe, Jaime for lyrics.  The lyrics poured quickly from Jaime's pen as if they were sent from the heavens.  I immediately felt emotionally attached to the song and the lyrics and I couldn't stop singing it over and over.  What a fun, meaningful and beautiful collab. While we are proud and thrilled to share with all, we are sad the work is over.  Hope you enjoy!

Time waits 
Time waits for no one
Minutes to hours
Til days are done
Done

Live in the moment - always
Making the most of your days
Don’t say what might have been
Say, I’d do it again
In these moments you’re given - live

Slowly
Make your way slowly
Savor the memories
That you will make
Make

Taking the time to just be
Seeing what all you can see
Don’t say what might have been 
Say I’d do it again
In these moments you’re given - live

Love
Love while you’re here
Open your heart
No need to fear
No fear

Dance
Dance in the rain
You never know
If it comes again
Again

Live in the moment - always
Making the most of your days
Don’t say what might have been
Say I’d do it again
In these moments you’re given - live

Live In The Moment - Remix by Tom Vinelli, Lyrics by Jaime J. Ross


Dance of Rustling Beauty and Whispering Sorrow

------- Lady of the Forest

I fly
Over the fields high
I am shy
Hiding in rainstorm’s cry

Reach me
Untamed hearts agree
To free
Darkness and clouds to be

My breath
My breeze
My shield
My home

My guard
My glow
My sweet
Home

I fly
Over the fields high
I am shy
And splendor in the sky

Touch me
Find a secret key
To be
Absorbed in my golden sea

------- Looking Glass Traveler

I am not the one you see
I am not the one you hear
But I am the one you feel
It is so real

Cover me
Cover me
Cover me
A while

لالا لالا گل کاشی،  یه خونه توی نقاشی
لالا لالا گل پسته،  پدر بار سفر بسته
 
لالا لالا گل سوسن، نخای رنگی و سوزن
لالا لالا گل مهتاب، بدوزم نقش تو در خواب
 
لالا لالا گل نازم، سپند آویز می سازم
لالا لالا گل نرگس، که بد بر تو نیاد هرگز
 
لالا لالا گل زیره، نشه روزت شب تیره           
لالا لالا گل ریزم، به گوشت طوق میاویزم
 
لالا لالا گل ارزن، الهی پیر شی فرزند
لالا لالا گل زردم، پناه پیری و دردم
 
لالا لالا گل لادن، نگهدارت خدای من
لالا لالا گل چینی، بخوابی خواب خوش بینی

لالا،لالا گل پسته

لالایی قدیمی  آذربایجانی
در این قطعه سیاوش لطفی عزیزم منو با نوازندگی بی نظیرش همراهی کرده.
ضبط و میکس و مسترینگ این قطعه کار حامی حقیقی عزیزه.  از اینکه  افتخار داشتم با این دو هنرمند حرفه ای و دوست داشتنی کار کنم به خودم می بالم. 
ترجمه اثر:
لالایی کن ای گهواره زندگی من
لالایی کن ای همه دار و ندار من
تو به خواب عمیق فرو رو
بگذار من از تو حفاظت کنم
لالایی
لالایی
لالایی کن دلبندم


برایت لالایی گفتم تا بخوابی
تا در گلهای رز جای  گیری
و در دل گل رز
خوابی  شیرین تو را فرا گیرد
لالایی
لالایی
لالایی کن دلبندم

لالایی کن کودک گلم
تو از آن  منی دلبندم
بخواب ای دلبندم، بخواب
لالای کن ای فرزند زیبارویم
لالایی 
لالایی
لالایی کن دلبندم

So This Is Spring

So this is Spring
You can feel it within
Love keeps on giving
Birds whistle and sing
In the first day of Spring

Faces that smile
New Wave and new style
Look at the colors
Listen to the sound
Daffodills and Bluebells
Are covering the ground

So this is Spring
You can feel it within
Love keeps on giving
Birds whistle and sing
In the first day of Spring

What a player.  And when he heard the track I sent him, laid down such a fine bass line to complement the track.   This is Craig's mix.  We're digging the sound!

Thank you so much Oddrun and Arne!
poem: " Tell Me " , by Emily Jane Brontë (30 July 1818- 19 Dec. 1848)
Haworth, England

Describing time is not ever going to be easy, but in her own unique way, Emily Brontë is able to effectively convey a powerful means of doing so.
The images described are fairly simple — the past is something to be longed for, the present is something to plan in, and the future is something to look forward to.
The natural imageries used are phenomena that a child might observe all the time while growing up. The childlike simplicity of the metaphors combined with it`s inner meanings is what makes this poem so beautiful.

Tell me, tell me, smiling child,
What the past is like to thee ?
'An Autumn evening soft and mild
With a wind that sighs mournfully.'

Tell me, what is the present hour ?
'A green and flowery spray
Where a young bird sits gathering its power
To mount and fly away.'

And what is the future, happy one ?
'A sea beneath a cloudless sun ;
A mighty, glorious, dazzling sea
Stretching into infinity.'

I have a lot of faith that people can be strong enough to recognize where they have done (or are doing) harm and make sincere amends. I also believe that people have the power to heal and forgive wrong doings. It takes great strength to walk together through the fire of our pains and come out the other end holding hands, recognizing and honoring our differences while acknowledging and celebrating our similarities.  

May everyone get a chance to break bread together, enjoy some wine, and share some laughs. 

Thanks again to Calebass, Jon, and Janine for joining me together on a 3rd track. We make a great team! It was really fantastic to have Chris O and Belial Pelegrim finally join a track on my page. Chris O and Belial are two SoundCloud legends in my opinion. I am so grateful to be making music with all my favorite people. If only I had more time to make music with all of my favorites on the cloud. Who knows, maybe I do!

And massive thanks to Russ and the Chaos Cookhouse for baking my bread in their oven once again. If it wasn’t for them, I would only be serving balls of dough.

Lyrics:

A rising hurricane blowing out the old
I feel it’s heading my way
Yes, a rising hurricane, heading my way
A rising hurricane blowing out the old
I just feel it’s blowing this way

The wind blows wicked by my side of the street

It’s heading my way

You better blow that away

We hunkered down for the storm breaks 
Sat by the heath till our bones ached
Kept those embers burning for what’s at stake 
Canned those apples for a future bake 
When we can walk across the street 
And give a hand shake 
To our neighbors where the wind don’t take 
A life’s time just to make up for
Past time’s big mistakes  

Well rise-up hurricane and blow out the old
Trade them for a mighty dawn

The wind blows wicked by my side of the street

Push aside the night shades to break a deal
Trade them for a mighty dawn

Even though things still ain’t right
We got deep history still within sight
And at times things can be downright 
Enough to incite our outright 
Deepest ugliest version of contrite 
I still cling tight 
To that hope for that bright light 
That one day things will be made right 
But it ain’t gonna be if we just hang tight 
Word 

The wind blows wicked by my side of the street

A rising hurricane blowing out the old
I just feel, it’s a-heading our way
Push aside the night shades
Break another deal
Trade them for a mighty dawn

Oh Christmas Tree

Since I started one-man band music on SC, I realized how exciting it is to play the bass. So I wanted to compose and play a song in which the bass plays the lead.
Although it took some effort, I really enjoyed playing. 
I used Jazz base made by Fender Japan.

OCHTENDGLOREN | Short Tales Part V

“Ochtendgloren” is a great Dutch word meaning “Dawn”. But in a more poetic sense, it has a sense of optimism, it holds a promise of a beautiful day to come. The morning dawns on the horizon...
The track travels through several different fields and textures, traveling acoustically through many different styles, I feel it’s hard to categorize where this would land in an overall description, but I guess World fusion comes closest. But it contains elements of classical, Jazz, flamenco, Latin, pop, rock, blues.

I play my Flamenco Negro guitar again in a setting of a guitar trio. In form it can be considered as a continuation of my Short Tales series. The lead guitar has long sections that are improvised over the bed of the two accompanying guitars.

I hope you will enjoy this fifth Short Tale and as always I really enjoy your likes, comments and shares. -Dan

For most artists and creatives its been a very tough year but i always see light at the end of the tunnel and this song is about keeping faith and having hope and to not stop what you enjoy doing and hopefully it entertains and engages those who listen ..
I would like to than all those artists and friends that have supported and been there for my music [you know who you are ]and much love to you all..keep going and keep creative

Thank you Oddrun, your beautiful voice shines like a lighthouse in a stormy sea. Best wishes to all.
POEM OF EMILY BRONTË

This shall be thy lullaby,
Rocking on the stormy sea;
Though it roar in thunder wild,
Sleep, stilly sleep, thou bright-haired child.

When our shuddering boat was crossing
Eldern's lake so rudely tossing,
Then 'twas first my nursling smiled;
Sleep, softly sleep, my fair-browed child.

Waves above thy cradle break,
Foamy tears are on thy cheek,
Yet the ocean's self grows mild
When it bears my slumbering child.

May 1838

Lyrics:

Were we close? 
Were we friends? 
Not sure, but it was fun back then
Do you remember? 
Well, I don't
Feels like we're all just walking with ghosts

Walking in a photograph
like a sad lost thing
Walking with ghosts
that used to know me
If you try to find me, 
I will be walking with ghosts
Walking with ghosts

I have been hollowed out 
and filled with something else
Old lives, they hover in shadows
and when we talk, we’re talking with ghosts

Talking to a photograph
that I’ll always keep
Talking with ghosts
that used to know me
As tomorrow leaves me
I will be talking with ghosts
Talking with ghosts

When the sober morning comes to show 
the past has gone away
Our translucent bodies lay below 
in a memory grave
We are nobody

Walking in a photograph
of forgotten dreams
Walking with ghosts
that used to know me
The days worth living behind me
So, I will be walking with ghosts
Walking with ghosts

Walking With Ghosts

Protect Me

LYRICS: 
Some would say I’ve got no sense of direction
Some would say I’ve got no sense at all
Some would say I’m going round in circles
Like a clock ticking on the the wall

Maybe I do 
Maybe I don’t
Maybe I will 
Maybe I won’t

Some people say I move too fast
Some people say I move too slow
Some people say there’s no need to move at all
If you don’t know where to go

Maybe I do 
Maybe I don’t
Maybe I will 
Maybe I won’t

I might go looking for the sun in the morning
Or maybe in the afternoon
Sit back with a cold beer in the evening
And just look up at the moon 

Some would say head for the highlands 
Some say the lowlands are for me 
Some would say just follow your heart
Wherever that may be

Maybe I do 
Maybe I don’t
Maybe I will 
Maybe I won’t

I might go looking for the sun in the morning
Or maybe in the afternoon
Sit back with a cold beer in the evening
And just look up at the moon 

Maybe I do 
Maybe I don’t
Maybe I will 
Maybe I won’t

Maybe I Do
