Track #11 of my third album 'Down the Rabbit Hole'. open.spotify.com/album/4Iq21rBQvgXesED9Hv8GEc

Living in our heads and in our dreams while being shut out from the world. The only input through our phones insubstantial, the mind hazy and disconnected. Night time adventure and freedom. Waking up to the hazy grey of day light, facing reality, a daily challenge.

LYRICS:

Signal's weak
I can barely hear
Others near
I can barely speak

Colours soft
I can barely see
A cloud of silk
Not much space to move

So much hissing
So much static 
Some voices, they talk
Nothing relevant
To me or anyone 
Anyone

Stand
By
It doesn't end, you know
It just hesitates
From time to time
Time to time

Lights are on
It must be getting dark						 
Not so sure
Anyone is even here

It's getting light
But it seems really dull
Brain is jammed
Too drained to activate today

So much static 
So much hissing
Some voices they talk
Nothing relevant
To me or anyone
Leave me alone

Stand
By
It doesn't end, you know
It just hesitates
From time to time
Time to time

Stand
By 
It doesn't end, you know
Just slows its heartbeat down
From time to time
Time to time

Stand
By 
It doesn't end, you know
It slows its heartbeat down
From time to time
Time to time

Wait
Out 
It doesn't end, you know

It just morphs inside
Into something else
You would otherwise
Have never know
Never known

Stand
Wait
Stand
Wait
Stand and wait

Dear Reader, 

Not all songs must exist on the grid. This song has no click track and therefore, it breathes. As a result, nothing was quantized. It's real playing and real performances. I hope that you can hear it. 

Of course,  the song was multitracked (I played and sang everything, so it had to be) and since there was no grid, I had to listen and react to make it gel.  I hope you consider what I did a success. 

Thanks as always for coming back to listen to more of my music. In the past four years I have produced more than 140 original music videos and I have gained 800 subscribers. This is only the beginning. I have much more music to write, arrange and produce, and I am thankful for every listen. 

Respectfully,

Lyrics:

(Chorus)
Extra ordinary—-holler if you hear me
Cause Anything goes—-Anything goes
Ask Jane ———-first name Mary
Fact—— fiction ———or theory
Yeah——Anything goes—-Anything goes

Anything goes with the beat and the rhythm
don’t worry about the verses ——got ya ——gonna kill em
extra ordinary ——-level up when you——hear me
a new dish in the menu——
like DoorDash—- I’ll bring you
——-different flavors——-different styles——
Keep it versatile

Negative vibe——no——never
jamming to the groove——
a routine endeavor
Beatz bumping—— fist pumping
they all want more ——give it up, still on top
I’ve got that high score ———————-
I’ve got that high score

energy and focus makes me the Dopest ——
I’m not bragging ——but hope you know this
:adds to my opus
———-this adds to my opus

the plan relentless make more and spend less
that’s part ———-of my checklist—-
dividing my——-check less
bottom line ——specialist
who can —-contest this ——
taste with ———a fresh twist
delivering ——-pure freshness—-
told you—— don’t stress this
level up ———to —-the—A-list ———
momentum———- contagious

Straight to the top, no time to delay
Let your body rock, got my mind on replay
Building empires, from rhymes to paper
Every bar a brick———-, and I’m stacking skyscrapers

Always hustling——always hustling
the grind never cease
Flow so cold———-like a winter breeze

Never on the sideline———gold standard —brilliance
Sip it down —like fine wine——perfecting my resilience
Get yours ——-I’ll get mine—-beats in my veins
Riding high naturally——has always ——-been the aim,
And ain’t no stopping ———And ain’t no stopping
—————Stopping these gains

Negative vibe——no——never
jamming to the groove——
a routine endeavor
Beatz bumping—— fist pumping
they all want more ——give it up, still on top
I’ve got that high score ———————-
I’ve got that high score

What's Got Into You

You can make it. ( 1993 ) Eddy Mango ( Eddy )

This is another track for the Children of Memory project. The Witch isn't really a witch... it's Avrana Kern, the ancient god-like fusion of AI and human. But, to Liff, she's a witch. 
All guitar parts were played on a Deusenberg Paloma.

Another collab with the fantastic musical talents of @nakedverse

Wonderland with @nakedverse

"The Turtle Project" started out as exactly that, a project, a songwriting project that was born from years of being a musician in many bands, doing countless gigs, naturally gathering experience and inspiration until, one day, I stumbled upon the fact that I could actually put those experiences and many others into words. The composing aspect grew from that into what it is today ...
My way of life .
