Love the use of tremolo in the background. A very beautiful piece overall!

@user-233987240 parfaitement non quand même pas mais je suis curieux et m'intéresse à beaucoup de genre.

Tender and delicate guitar melodies,suggest gentler times and a peaceful life,just beautiful!

Calling Card [09.08.25]

This song grew out of a little disagreement I had with my sister in music, @DJShAnkAri, who is also a brilliant astrologer. She looked into my chart and pointed out that the way the stars were aligned, my ego was reacting in a way that wasn’t really “me.” At first, it stung, but then I realized how right she was — and that awareness inspired me to turn it into music. Ego’s Lie is about how the ego twists our thoughts, convinces us we’re not enough, and makes us feel alone when in truth we’re deeply connected. I wanted to capture how those illusions fall away when we choose harmony over comparison, connection over pride. 

Another song inspired by ShAnkAri’s brilliant mind and astrological insight. Thanks sis!! 🫶😘❤️🫂



LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Whispers in the dark, a shadow at my side
Telling me I’m broken, that I’ve got to hide
It feeds on doubt, it twists the truth inside
A masquerade of power, but it’s all a lie

[Pre-Chorus]
It says I’m alone, I’m fighting to survive
But I’m a part of something greater, still alive

[Chorus]
Ego’s lie, it tells me I’m not enough
Builds a wall of pain, makes me call it love
But I see the cracks, I won’t be deceived
Ego’s lie can’t take what I believe

[Verse 2]
It wants me to rank, to climb a useless tower
To crush every rival, confuse strength with power
But harmony’s the circle, the truth we’ve denied
Not a pyramid of pride, but a bond that unites

[Pre-Chorus]
It says I’m alone, I’m fighting to survive
But I’m a part of something greater, still alive

[Chorus]
Ego’s lie, it tells me I’m not enough
Builds a wall of pain, makes me call it love
But I see the cracks, I won’t be deceived
Ego’s lie can’t take what I believe

[Verse 3]
Pain becomes the anchor, it chains me to the night
But even in the silence, I can feel the light
Every soul’s a circle, every cell a flame
Together we’re the organism, never just a name

[Bridge]
Oh, ego loves the suffering
Oh, but I won’t play its game
I’ll rise above the whispering
And call it by its name

[Chorus]
Ego’s lie, it tells me I’m not enough
Builds a wall of pain, makes me call it love
But I see the cracks, I won’t be deceived
Ego’s lie can’t take what I believe

[Chorus]
Ego’s lie, it feeds on the disguise
But harmony reveals it, truth opens my eyes
I break the chains, I step into the sky
No more living for the ego’s lie
Ego's lie

[Chorus X2]
Ego’s lie, it tells me I’m not enough
Builds a wall of pain, makes me call it love
But I see the cracks, I won’t be deceived
Ego’s lie can’t take what I believe

[Outro]
The circle keeps turning, the organism breathes
Ego fades to silence, no more lies to weave
I’m a voice in the chorus, and I’m finally free
From the ego’s lie that once defined me

Ego’s Lie

Lyrics:

Hook
Darkside, that’s where I ride, Glow in my chest but my skin all night, They call me villain, but they ain’t right, Bad intentions? Nah, I do good disguised.

Verse 1
Yeah, halo crooked, but it still shine, Heart pure gold, but the drip all slime, Do wrong things, with the right mind, I rob the dark, just to bless the light. They said I’m toxic, I said “thank you,” Haters my breakfast, I just ate you, Feeding on shadows, that’s my breakthrough, Angel in hell but the horns stay playful.

Pre-Hook
Good side hidden, bad side debut, (I’m trolling) They point fingers, but they all confused. Hook Darkside, that’s where I ride, Glow in my chest but my skin all night, They call me villain, but they ain’t right, Bad intentions? Nah, I do good disguised.

Verse 2 
Label me evil, I laugh on cue, Mirror cracked, show the best and the worst too, Smile in the court, judge ain’t got a clue, If I’m guilty, then the system guilty too. Devil in Dior, angel in rags, Carry my sins in designer bags, Misunderstood like a meme gone bad, But I still spread light when I make y’all mad.

Bridge 
Dark humor, paint my fate, Hate just gas in the car I race, Mislabels, man, that’s free press, They love the villain they can’t confess.Darkside, that’s where I ride, Glow in my chest but my skin all night, They call me villain, but they ain’t right, Bad intentions? Nah, I do good disguised.

Final Hook 
Darkside, that’s where I ride, Glow in my chest but my skin all night, They call me villain, but they ain’t right, Bad intentions? Nah, I do good disguised.

Firstly , a scammer alert . If you get approached by someone claiming to Peter Edge , the CEO of RCA Records , he is not , he is a pond life scammer ! It was done through a " scout " who passed me on to him , it was very convincing , but after investigating I discovered he was just another one of those low life twats out for what I call criminal gain ! I would love to find out out where these people live so I could put their windows in and give them a slap or two !
Anyway , this is a great song written by Gaz Brownie , when I heard his demo I was hooked and had visions of which direction it should take , we really hope you like it as much as we do !
So many songs to be released , but one song will have to jump the queue for release on the 1st of October . It's a track that I have been working on with a fantastic Mexican singer/songwriter called D'mendo Boteli , you will be amazed ! Thank you so much for listening and your continued support .

Verse 1
In autumn, from the tree of mysteries, the wind tore off sixteen leaves
On six it said "we will meet"
The other ten told many things

Verse 2
The trunk of that tree was skin
That we caressed mutually
We merged our bellies by night
And we became one, that time

Pre-chorus
It's true we were born separate, but destiny brought us together, you see

Chorus
We live this story between the two of us
Destinies that come together in a dream
Loves defined by a God
We are blessed for this
Undoubtedly nothing will separate us
A silent pact that we fulfill
We will love each other for eternity
We will be with love like two children

Verse
Now a truth is clear
I have two leaves from that tree here
On one our names are written
On another it says I am for you

Outro
The others tell that we will be together....
Until the end...

Verso 1

En otóño, désde el árbol de misterios,
el viento le arrancó diecíseis hojas
En seis decía "nos conoceremos"
Las otras diez contaban muchas cosas.

Verso 2

El tronco de ese árbol era piel
Que nos acariciámos mutuamente
Fundimos por la noche nuestros vientres
Y nos hicimos uno, aquella vez

Verdad es que nacimos separados, pero el destino nos juntó, ya ves.

Coro

Vivimos esta historia entre entre los dos.
Destinos que se juntan en un sueño
Amores definidos por un Dios
Estamos bendecidos para esto.

Sin duda nada nos separará
Un pacto silencioso que cumplimos
Nos amarémos por la eternidad.
Seremos con amor como dos niños.

Verso.

Ahora queda clara una verdad
Dos hojas dése árbol tengo aquí,
En una están escrito nuestros nombres
En otro dice que soy para ti.

Outro

Las otras cuentan que estaremos juntos.... Hasta el fin..

Como dos niños

Como dos niños ( Like two children )

Spécial thanks to HEMANIFETZ for his acappella ....

Look at a U.S. map, and draw a straight line from Natchez, Mississippi to Richmond, Virginia.  Then cross it with another line from Savannah, Georgia to Memphis, Tennessee.  Next draw a circle around the outside tips of each line.        The area you've encircled is the subject of this song.
     There is so much spectacular beauty in this world, but I just have never found another place that can compare to a thick old-growth Appalachian forest or the rolling hardwood and pine hills of central Alabama or middle Tennessee.
      I grew up there but don't get to go back often enough.
      The song's title White Spangled Hills is reference to the dogwood tree, which grows wild throughout the area, coloring the wooded hillsides with its white blooms for a month or so in early Spring.

SORROW 

Baby please let me stand here in the rain
I don't need your comfort I'm in pain
I'm done with the fighting
I'm done with you
I'm done with the hurting
And loving you

Go home
Go home
Intermezzo

Baby please let me stand here in the rain
I don't need your comfort I'm in pain
I can not fix what was broken baby
I can not heal what was stolen lately
I can not try again
I'm done with the fighting
I'm done with you
I'm done with the hurting
And loving you

Go home
Go home
Intermezzo

Let me cry in the rain now baby
All our love is invain and maybe
We are better off on our own
Let me cry in the rain now baby
All our love is invain and maybe
We are better off on our own

Go home
Go home
Intermezzo

Baby please let me stand here in the rain
I don't need your comfort I'm in pain
I'm done with the fighting
I'm done with you
I'm done with the hurting
And loving you

Go home......

My huge thanks go to Samy for letting me work on this gorgeous song by Fabrizio De Andre, that he has magically arranged. I fell in love with it the first I heard it, and it was a joy to work with his beautiful instrumentation! Samy pointed out a few grammer mistakes, but on polishing them up I lost the heart of the piece, and so I give you this version...warts 'n' all!

Lyrics in Italian and English 
Quei giorni perduti a rincorrere il vento
a chiederci un bacio e volerne altri cento
un giorno qualunque li ricorderai
amore che fuggi da me tornerai
un giorno qualunque li ricorderai
amore che fuggi da me tornerai

E to che con gli occhi di un altro colore
mi dici le stesse parole d'amore
fra un mese fra un anno scordate le avrai
amore che vieni da me fuggerai
fra un mese fra un anno scordate le avrai
amore che vieni da me fuggirai

Venuto dal sole o da spiagge gelate
perduto in novembre o col vento d'estate
io t'ho amato sempre, non t'ho amato mai
amore che vieni, amore che vai
io t'ho amato sempre, non t'ho amato mai
amore che vieni, amore che vai

Those days lost chasing the wind
To ask for a kiss and want another hundred
any day you will remember them
love that flees from me you will return
any day you will remember them
love that flees from me you will return

And you with the eyes of another colour
tell me the same words of love
in a month from a forgotten year you will have them
love you come to me you will run away
in a month from a forgotten year you will have them
love you come to me you will run away

Coming from the Sun or from frozen beaches
lost in November or with the Summer wind
I have always loved you, I never loved you
Love you come, love you go
I have always loved you, I never loved you
Love you come, love you go

Amore che vieni, amore che vai Cover (with Samy Ben Rabah)

Tulipe est le surnom que ma mère m'avait donné quand j'étais enfant.
La musique de Tulipe est très variée, du rock au blues en passant par le  psychédélique et bien plus encore

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
