HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021 Part Two

LIVING A DREAM

Song about love as a shelter against inclemency of life (translated lyrics below).

By means of some weather sounds, I oppose precise dark parts to more colored ones, with serious work till 3:25 when I had fun jamming, so you can skip to 4:20 & enjoy great outro !!

Clarinet was borrowed from my sister for summer practice. Reed & keywork managing is difficult for a beginner, & home cohabitance was set on serious risk, but with painful effort I got something presentable, or so I hope, as not willing to repeat soon...

LETRAS / LYRICS

ENTRA SIN MIEDO / COME IN WITHOUT FEAR

Fuera hay truenos; / Outside there are thunders;
entra sin miedo. / come in without fear.

Fuera hay viento; / Outside there is wind;
entra corriendo. / come rush in.

Soy tu refugio protector; / I am your protective shelter;
entre mis brazos estarás mejor: / whithin my arms you’ll be better:
ven a buscar mi calor. / come to find my warmth.

Dentro hay fuego; / Inside there is fire;
entra a verlo. / come in to see it.

Dentro te espero, / Inside I wait for you,
entra sin miedo. / come in without fear.

This is the last one of 44 songs I wrote with my mom’s Spanish guitar in my university years, songs I’ve been arranging and posting to SC for the last 6 years (I’ve skipped 4 of them which will become a conceptual album soon).

I’m so glad to have https://soundcloud.com/janinelevinson’s help on polishing the English texts and lending her vocal and painting arts to such an important song for me.

Also must credit https://soundcloud.com/user-498459842 for kindly and freely mastering the track.
 
CANCIÓN TRISTE CUANDO ESTOY SOLO (SAD SONG WHEN I’M ALONE)

Canción triste cuando estoy solo, para que sepas que yo nunca me iré.
Canción triste por todo lo que amo, último recuerdo de lo que pudo ser.

Sad song when I'm alone, so that you know I will never be gone.
Sad songs for all I love, are the last reminders of my ancient glow.

Do you think that someone somewhere else would ever care that I was here?
Do you think a future living man will give a damn for you and me?
Who could he be?

¿Piensas que a alguien a quien no conocí le importará si estuve aquí,
o no estuve yo?
¿Piensas que alguien que viva después se acordará de ti o de mí?
¿Quién podrá ser?

Canción triste…

¿Piensas que una nueva vida de amor nos bastará para creer,
para sentir?
¿Acaso te importa lo que piense la gente de mis intereses para morir por mí,
para morir por mí?

Do you think another life of love will be enough for us to see,
for us to feel?
Do you care what people really think about my pride, and will you die,
will you die with me?

Sad song…

lyrics:

she says - don’t think, don’t move
what are you tryin' to prove?
just be you
she says - let it out, let it breathe
let it crawl out of the sleeve
and i know - all the colors, step by step
are blending with her spiderweb

my muse 
i pledge my soul to you

i'm a kind of a dorian gray
and i am faustian, by the way
as long as i feel you 
i am everything you want me to be

my muse 
i pledge my soul to you

My Muse

I start this new album with better sound by means of one of my more beloved and evolved songs ever, a structured piece with progressing parts.

Bien, mal (Lluvia vieja)

It sure seems there's always malice in the palace. Either you’re in the palace causing malice or you’re trying to stop the malice. In both cases there's still malice in the palace. As subjects, we have to live with that malice, so get out and vote. And if voting doesn’t make a difference, get out there and storm the palace, but only for a cause I believe in, lol. 

I love roots reggae and am stuck in the period between '68 and '82. Don’t get me wrong, ska is great, and I lump rocksteady into my preferred period of reggae. And I am not saying I don’t appreciate later periods of reggae and dancehall. I did enjoy the 90s dancehall that often went along with golden era hip hop. But I will always like 70s roots reggae best. I must be old. 

Thanks SoundCloud friends for making roots reggae with me and helping me LARP my musical fantasies. You're all the best! May everyone live out their rock star dreams.

Trodding in this world of inequity 
People dying in the city
Kings in palaces show no pity
There’s malice in the palace 
There’s malice in the palace
Queen Majesty let’s lick up the chalice
I wanna hear I wanna hear what you can tell us 
And don’t you try to quell us
Or we’ll be storming up the citadel, yes! 
You’ve got to be pure of heart and pure mind
Cause blessed are the pure in heart
So you’ve got to live clean
If you know what I mean
There’s malice in the palace
We’re storming the citadel, yes!
And in the end, the last shall be first, and the first last 
For many shall be called, but few shall be chosen
Trodding in this world of inequity 
People are dying in the city
And kings in palaces dem show no pity
There’s malice in the palace 
There’s malice in the palace
Queen Majesty let’s lick up the chalice
I wanna hear I wanna hear what you can tell us 
So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it
For him it is sin
And that is the way of the righteous
For the path may be rocky
But the conscious can remain clean
If you know what I mean
There’s malice in the palace 
And we’re storming the citadel, yes!
For many are called, but few are chosen
There’s malice in the palace 
There’s malice in the palace, 
Queen Majesty let’s lick up the chalice
I wanna hear I wanna hear what you have to say
And don’t you lie to us
Or we’ll be climbing the citadel, yes!
Or we’ll be climbing the citadel 
There’s too much inequity 
So don’t you try quell
Do good things for in due season we will reap
So do not grow weary in doing good, y’all
And the fruit of the spirit is love, goodness, and peace 
And against such things there is no law
Living in the righteous way is no flaw
There’s Malice in da palace
And We’re storming the citadel
We’re storming the citadel, yes!
For many are called, but few are chosen
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
Trodding in this world of inequity 
people dying in the city
Kings in palaces dem show no pity
And we’re all going to be storming the citadel, yes!
So Queen Majesty
I wanna have a word with you and lick up da chalice
I wanna hear, I wanna hear, I wanna hear what you have to say
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
And don’t you try to quell us
There’s Malice in da palace
Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life

'Oh Yeah' by Acoustic Growl (Richard Barry)

'Oh Yeah'

BECAUSE YOU TAKE YOUR LIFE IN STRIDE

Because you take your life in stride

Because you aren’t afraid to kiss the dirt

Because a mind no other mind should try
to fool has always failed to fool your heart

But most because no best is quite so good 
you don’t conceive a better, 
and because no evil is so worse than 
worst you fall in hate with love

Human one mortally immortal I
can turn immense all time’s because to why

– e.e. cummings

just trying to make it last

One more time...

Tuesday night

ABOUT YOU BIG BIRD

There’s a smoky trail across the sky
Behind you big bird as you fly
I’m running waving both hands free
But my mommas come to capture me

My mom she’s got this thing you see
About you bird we don’t agree
She don’t like your fiery tail
She’s gonna capture me and hide away

Big bird flying across the sky
I don’t know you or your reasons why
Big bird do you come to play
Mommas got bad things to say 
About you Big Bird

We been here a thousand years
Momma says that you don’t care
Your fireworks that light the streets
Make houses fall to dust and heat

The baker man went yesterday
A puff of smoke, an empty tray
I kind of liked your flashing bomb
But Momma ranted all night long

About You Big Bird

RUN AWAY

Pandemic Echoes

A little sung poem.

When My Time is Done

When moonbeams prism starlight in a crystal grain of sand
As it slips into the ocean, from the furrow of my hand.
When warm fogs on the glaciers sit frozen by the sun
And the clock hands fuse in unison, I’ll know my time is done.

When a feather halts the rolling rock, in the shallow of its hill
While a rainbow melds to monochrome, and lunar orbits still.
As the hanging snow that fails to fall and the rivers pause their run,
With the swallows standing silently, I’ll know my time is done.

When the whispers of the moor grass take respite in the lee
And what was once myself is my lost memory of me.
When the final spark has flickered long before dawn has begun,
And the acrid mizzle sprinkles then I’ll know my time is done.

When clouds subsume the ribbons shredded scarlet in my mind.
The jaded thoughts of lamentation all that’s left behind,
As the boy soprano soft subsides, my hymn of life is sung
White horses on the Bamburgh coast will know my time is done.

When the minor keys of requiems float sweetly in the dust
The book is finally closed and bound, my history left to rust.
From chapel bells at midnight, a solitary peal is rung
The fossil tombstones weeping there will tell my time is done.

When my race from ashes to ashes and from dust to dust is won,
Then you, not I, will know for certain that my time is done.

When my Time is Done

Target focus shoot to thrill
Target focus shoot to kill
Trajectories on
Come on comrades 
Get ready

Alles klar Kommissarin
Alles klar Kommissarin
Shoot to thrill
Shoot to kill
Shoot to thrill
Shoot to kill

Gone-gone-gone 
And another one’s down
Gone-gone-gone 
And another one’s dead
Gone-gone-gone 
It’s in my head
Gone-gone-gone 
Now you’re in my head

In the trenches below 
It’s where I dwell
Where I remain
It is my home
I do not dare to go
Don’t you know 
Oh Oh Oh Oh

Alles klar Kommissarin
Alles klar Kommissarin

Alles klar Kommissarin

Red Alert

Target is on
Focus and be strong 
For everyone
Can’t you see 
They’re counting on me
There is no way out for me
I don’t want, I don’t want
I don’t want to do it no more

I hate this war
The war is not over 
No No
There is no way out for me
The war is not over
DON’T Y-O-U SEE

I can’t feel anymore
I’ve lost my senses
And I can’t feel 
Any-thin’ anymore
Down in the trenches
The trenches below
It’s become my home
How I want out of here
In the trenches below
I don’t want to, want to 
To do it no more
Don’t want to do it no more

Gone-gone-gone 
And another one’s gone
Another one’s dead
You’re in my head 
Oh-No
In the trenches below

Check out a music video of Waves here!: https://youtu.be/NHIK5dOaW0U

Waves is about difficult life moments.  How can we ease the pain? There is a refrain during the course of the song where I repeat this in an almost silent plea.  The song captures the feeling of time moving at a different speed in these moments of sorrow and tenderness when the mind freezes.  A numbness infused with a fierce stillness and a fierce love.

Lyrics
Waves
by David Husted

My mind freezes
Despite this burning wind
Are you my temple?
Or am I grasping  at threads

Time's still ticking 
I feel it crawling on my skin
Stop pretending
You don’t feel this burning fire within

Over, Over
All those things you said
Feel Love's Horizon
Sweet Waves Crashing In

Mary , Queen of Scots (8 December 1542 – 8 February 1587), also known as Mary Stuart, queen of Scotland (1542–67) and queen consort of France (1559–60). Her unwise marital and political actions provoked rebellion among the Scottish nobles, forcing her to flee to England, where she was eventually beheaded as a Roman Catholic threat to the English.
The scene to the soundtrack:
In the May sunshine, Mary and her 2nd husband Lord Darnley her cousin went to ride to the Scottish
woodlands.It all seemed like a dream, the wild ride, the strange smells and sounds.
They should have a race. Mary loved to ride and to ride fast. A horn sounded, it notes oddly out of
place where no hunters were.

Tina Turner cover! Heresy? Sure! I gave up on the voice, but still trying to achieve legs like hers. This one is a bit inspired by the version they played on the David Letterman show, with Bill Cosby on cowbell. Hope you enjoy!

The main reason I did this was because my maestro told me to practice the blues scale, so I made my first guitar noodle :-)

Too close to home is the second track to be taken from my elements e.p and solo project 
To overcome darkness and isolation we have to reset our-selfs  from within and find the light its humanity against the elements but nature will always find a way and win [Jim mystic manser nov 2020]
lyrics 
The pressure cookers boiling and we got to close to home
 society has been spoiling all the things we loved and known 
locked down and now you say your missing having fun
just a way of nature telling you shes done
is it me ? looking too a grey and empty sea
is it you ? doesnt have a clue what we supposed to do
and now its all to close to home
they say your better off alone 
and i keep running from the storms 
to find a place thats safe and warm

put my arms and legs into the rain and in the air
frustrated travellers you arent going anywhere
just a slice of fiction now its getting hard to laugh
like a faded actor who hides an autograpth
is it us? making to much fuss to get from A to B
or is it me living in this life of novel mysteries

Too close to home

Too Close To Home

My daughter and I made this melody. It was kind of “formal “ song. I arranged this as “funny” one this time and she was not quite happy at first.  But I beg her and beg her and beg her, finally she said OK to release this and did the drawing for this.

Au-dessus d'un ruban de papier bleu
ton regard se noie dans une onde invisible
ton visage dénudé demeure si figé 
et je reste à tes côtés affligé

Partant à la dérive vers un autre monde
déséché et aride vers une terre inféconde 
d'étoiles filantes tes yeux sont dénués 
et je reste à tes côtés exténué

Aucune larme dans tes yeux
aucune pluie venant des cieux
tes paroles se morcellent :
même tes lèvres se craquellent
Aucune larme sommes-nous trop vieux
pour faire encore des envieux 
nos sentiments mités s'étiolent
nul elixir d'amour nulle fiole

Tes doigts glacés ont glissé de ma main possessive
appréhendant dans la brume des rives lascives
des océans chahutants où tanguer
et je reste à écouter ton cœur fatigué

Si lentement ton teint de cire 
a enseveli tes lumineux sourires
tes silences présagent sans doute le pire et
las je reste à t'écouter respirer

Aucune larme dans tes yeux
aucune pluie venant des cieux
tes paroles se morcellent :
même tes lèvres se craquellent
Qu'une larme coule de tes yeux
avant de rejoindre mes aïeux 
une seule goutte comme un présent
venant de ton cœur frémissant
 
Pour mes larmes nulle fiole...

Aucune larme dans tes yeux [Agapite and Lukowig]

I CAN FLY
IT'S JUST A HEARTBEAT FROM THE GROUND
I CAN FLY HIGH HIGH  ONLY TAKES A LITTLE

THE NIGHT LIFE IT'S IN YOUR BLOOD
AND WHEN THE SUN IT COMES YOU FALL AWAY
AND WHEN IT FALLS AGAIN YOU'LL SAY

Unrequited Love

I sent a very rough recording of this tune to Darren and asked him to make an instrumental for me to sing to. He produced two lovely tracks for me to choose from, and I liked them so much I sang to both. Here's the first one, the dreamy version. Thank you as always for listening and thank you, Darren.

No One Understands You Like I Do          

Song, vocals: Janine Levinson 2020
Instruments, mix:  Darren Sullivan @darren-sullivan

Sometimes it’s hard to tell the useless from the good
Sometimes it’s only possible to be misunderstood
There always will be trouble, and we’ll always be confused
Sometimes it will be ‘cause of me and sometimes ‘cause of you

But don’t you worry, although I am not perfect
No one understands you like I do

Sometimes you need a lover and sometimes you need a friend
I’m one or I’m the other, and today I’m both of them
But sometimes I am neither  -- and for that I am ashamed

But don’t you worry, although I am not perfect
no one understands you like I do

Foggy, floating in a compromise
Coalesce and then diffuse
My purple prose just leaves you mystified
And radar pierces through the gloom

Sometimes it’s hard to tell the useless from the good
Sometimes it’s only possible to be misunderstood
There always will be trouble and we’ll always be confused

But don’t you worry, although I am not perfect, lover
no one understands you like I do

No One Understands You Like I do  -  With Darren Sullivan

Still Dropping Heat

Planned and release ——but honestly 
My anthem——independent artistry 
stand back——- while I spit this
stay calm—— and bare witness 
amazed—-as I blaze this 
slay haters ——pure business 
that’s right —-I’m your Deathwish
I’m viscous—- your breathless 
for the Fam I’mer —-bless this 
discussions ——just wisdom 
Not asking—-permission 
the focus ——-the vision 
continue ——the mission 
The beat—-the transmission 
and thanks ———for the listen

Chorus
If there isn’t any justice blood spills—blood spills
no money but bills ——no jobs——- no skills
just sickness and pills —-neglected rights ———and unnecessary kills 
if there isn’t any justice blood spills—blood spills

The loss was solid as concrete 
acknowledge the defeat 
watch the nation stand together—— turning wolves into sheep
homeless people in the streets 
without a dime to make ends meet 
a new leader in the seat —-don’t mean sound retreat retreat
The beat will make you sweat 
muscles begin to flex 
been known to drop a line or two of stone cold context 
I always come correct 
respect it and except 
each rhymes on time and I’m inclined to perform as you expect
Now let me be direct 
to serve and protect 
must not go unchecked —so better results are guaranteed in retrospect 
that’s why we protest 
we won’t settle for this mess 
it’s all violence and injustice and we will not be suppressed (X2)
the whole world in distress 

Chorus
If there isn’t any justice blood spills—blood spills
no money but bills ——no jobs——- no skills
just sickness and pills —-neglected rights ———and unnecessary kills 
if there isn’t any justice blood spills—blood spills

lyrics: 
They told me lies
They tore my soul
They taught me everything
I played the perfect role

A different life
Frozen in time
Yearning for fruits
and standing in line

Hide your feelings
Even here at home
Turn the TV up
`cause you can never know
Cry for freedom
as silent as you can
Don´t share with the neighbour
He might be one of them

All the secrets in the air
All the days that were 
awaiting us out there

Such a gray place
Run by shrewd minds
They told me lies
I saw the files

Hide your feelings
Even here at home
Turn the TV up
`cause you can never know
Cry for freedom
as silent as you can
Don´t share with the neighbour
He might be one of them

For a moment
We stopped sleeping
For a moment we filled the streets
In that moment
We started dreaming
In that moment we walked in peace

They told me lies
They tore my soul
They taught me everything
I played the perfect role

All the secrets in the air
All the days that were 
awaiting us out there

Hide your feelings
Even here at home
Turn the TV up
`cause you can never know
Cry for freedom
as silent as you can
Don´t share with the neighbour
He might be one of them

For a moment
We stopped sleeping
For a moment we filled the streets
In that moment
We started dreaming
In that moment we walked in peace

They told me lies
They told me lies

I sit on your doorstep - waiting for you to come down - i know that you are up there trying to turn your world around - As you put on your make-up you think about our breakup and how its affected you but still you're okay - and I put on my make-up and think about this breakup and i am surely not okay with what it's been doing to me - then you walk out you doorway yeah and I am waiting right there - your agenda is cold shoulder and the night just keeps getting colder and colder - then you you just graze right by me yeah - guess I'm a ghost from your past - what was it that changed you - am i - am i the one who changed you - should i wait for you to come home - no my friends would call me a creep - but I would own that label - if you would just talk to me - wish I could come upstairs made a mix tape of all the songs you love we can listen by the fireplace that's all that's all I've been dreaming of - I guess that I'm just getting old - and all the things that meant so much to us - have vanished in a cloud of dust - woman  woman who can we trust - then you walk out your doorway yeah I am waiting right there your agenda is cold shoulder and the night just keep getting colder and colder - I pass by your doorstep yeah everyday on my way to work and even though you haven't lived there for years i still see your face - was creeping on your Instagram - got a family and I'm still who I am I'm lost without your tenderness oh woman I'm so lost

Doorstep-

God damn, you're so cold / Everyone that you touch
Well they just freeze, freeze
A heart of stone / Molten by the devil 
Your hatred made them leave, leave
Rebel souls, come my way / Stranglehold
It the motion of the world falling down
Crumble to the ground again, to the ground it ends
Expectations of a life full of love
Everything has died inside / To the hell, divide
See your colors fade / Hazy like the gray in your eyes
Yeah, you have changed, changed
Never sane / The chemical imbalance in your mind
Made you hate, hate
Rebel souls, come my way / Stranglehold
It the motion of the world falling down
Crumble to the ground again, to the ground it ends
Expectations of a life full of love
Everything has died inside / To the hell, divide

Stranglehold

Track shows a very delicate theme and a quite hard-riffed part, both alternating and finally flowing up to an endless symphonic dream (words are half a poem I wrote previously (not these, but lyrics below)).

Letra  /  Translated lyrics:

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)  /  Don’t you wake up (Only a dream)

No... despierta... no... no despiertes  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up
no, cuidado... no despiertes, na na na na na...  /  no, take care ... don’t you wake up, na na na na na…
... despierta al fin y date cuenta  /  ... wake up at last and realize
de que todo ha sido un sueño, na na na na na...  /  everything has been a dream, na na na na na...

Una vez más, nervios y resentimiento,  /  Once again, nerves and resentment,
todo en mi vida es sueño, sólo ha sido eso.  /  everything in my life is a dream, it has only been so.

Y de nuevo, con el tiempo,  /  And again, with time,
incubando un nuevo sueño,  /  incubating a new dream,
me voy hundiendo en mis propios brazos,  /  I am sinking in my own arms,
me acuno, me canto y me voy acostumbrando...  /  cradle myself, sing to myself and get used...

Otro escenario, otros personajes,  /  Another stage, other characters,
la misma historia, na na na na na...  /  the same story, na na na na na...
que durará un día, un milenio,  /  which will last one day, a millenium,
toda mi vida, na na na na na...  /  all my life, na na na na na...

Pero sin duda vendrán a despertarme  /  But undoubtedly the laughs of people
las risas de la gente, alguna tarde.  /  will come to wake me up, any evening.

Y entonces, con miedo...  /  And then, fearfully...

No... despierta… no… no despiertes (…)  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up (…)
