Energy (9)

Well... you know. Getting closer and closer to the day which defines my third anniversary here on SC, i realize - yes, that is the fifth Collector so far , i know i know. These are huge, there is alot to discover and dig. No real order, no real guideline, just a flow , from one Artist i listen to , to the next one and on and on and on. 

Thank you all for your contribution in these times, making music, spreading and sharing it and supporting each other. That's simply wonderful! So what is there more to say rather than - if you're on this list, you've been definitely heard and there is a big chance that i arc back for more, sooner or later! 

Take care and keep on rocking!
Truly yours,
CMD SF

Dope Stuff - Collector Five

This track is the main piece of the album. An evocation of plato's myth of Er, surounded by minimal fragment of Musica universalis, or "Music of the Spheres".

Le Voyage Du Soldat Er

featuring @4catsncoffee on violin
:
Suddenly you come across an opening in the forest - a fading landscape of forgotten names...
fading green is the third tune off the d'ville EP >soundcloud.com/jh0st/sets/dville

--------------------lyrics

No one said that
we would see
Family to no one
Sunlight through trees
No one asked for
an early grave

Stones of names a fade away…

When the clouds come down
water upside down
Order of each name
Feather on tongue

Thousand heart beats in the trees
now gone on the wings of…

day's fading green

d'ville

You can throw away your past, but the devil gently finds ways to bring it back...  Devil's Timepiece is a guitar-based alternative folk tune with southern gothic echoes. The fourth tune off the d'ville EP >soundcloud.com/jh0st/sets/dville

Devil's Timepiece
:
Traces of smoke
Lingering soft hope
Words spit like flames
under the up-town train
Together alone
through the heat summer storm

Yes it is…
faded away
No it ain't…
the way it should stay

Church bells of peace
The devil's timepiece
Once in a while
love speaks, to the right one
'Til then I pray at the station
Penn the hymn to the speeding train

Yes it is…
No place to stay.

I saw the city lights
turn dusty moon 

I saw the blue gas-light
split the summer sky

(Yes it is…)
Last place I'll stay
No it ain't…
the only doorway

Oh, gentle violence
Time will rewind it

Oh, blame the summer wind
Sound the sirens

Who will write this down?

Introduction in English:
For me it was a big challenge in two ways to do the music to the lyrics of P-Ten, who lives in the Philippines:
First, he is the age of my son, who some of my SC friends know went through a serious crisis in the spring from which he has not really recovered yet. P-Ten obviously has something that my son still lacks at his young age: A belief in himself, in his own dreams and visions. While singing, I kept imagining that P-Ten was speaking to my son like a good friend of the same age, helping him to overcome his tormenting self-doubt. 
Secondly, P-Ten's lyrics also repeatedly mention the belief in God. I don't know P-Ten personally, so I don't know which God he is referring to in his text. 
I myself am not religious or feel to belong to a certain religious community. But, as I have already described it in my song "A Prayer of Hope", there exists for me a kind of "inner God" who goes far beyond me and holds the world together in the innermost; to whom I sometimes turn when my belief in myself falters and self-doubt plagues me. Then I can experience, among other things, in the dialogue with him, that I am not alone, that this inner God believes in me, carries me and holds me, no matter what happens.      

Introduction in German:

Für mich war es in zweierlei Hinsicht eine große Herausforderung, zu dem Text von P-Ten, der auf den Philippinen lebt, die Musik zu machen:
Erstens ist er im Alter meines Sohnes, von dem einige meiner SC-Freunde wissen, dass er im Frühjahr eine schwere Krise durchmachte, von der er sich bis jetzt noch nicht wirklich erholt hat. P-Ten hat offensichtlich etwas, was meinem Sohn in seinem jungen Alter noch fehlt: Der Glaube an sich, an die eigenen Träume und Visionen. Beim Singen habe ich immer wieder vorgestellt, das P-Ten wie ein guter, gleichaltriger Freund zu meinem Sohn spricht und ihm hilft, seine quälenden Selbstzweifel zu überwinden. 
Zweitens kommt in dem Text von P-Ten auch immer wieder der Glaube an Gott vor. Ich kenn P-Ten nicht persönlich und ich weiß entsprechend auch nicht, welchen Gott er in seinem Text meint. 
Ich selbst bin nicht religiös oder fühle mich einer bestimmten Glaubensgemeinschaft zugehörig. Aber, wie ich es schon bei meinem Song "A Prayer of Hope" beschrieben habe, existiert für mich eine Art "innerer Gott", der weit über mich hinausgeht und die Welt im innersten zusammenhält; an den ich mich manchmal wende, wenn mein Glauben an mich ins Wanken gerät und mich Selbstzweifel plagen. Dann kann ich unter anderem in der Zwiesprache mit ihm erfahren, das ich nicht allein bin, dass dieser innere Gott an mich glaubt, mich trägt und hält, egal was passiert.

This song was initially an instrumental.  With the great help from Richard and Mellina, we successfully converted it into a vocal song preserving the original title.  See what you think.   Hope you like our work.

[LYRICS]
Let me lead you through the silver stars			
We can kiss under the moon			
Wrapped inside each others arms			
I can show you where your path could be			
If you walk along with me, come now you’ll see		
		
Watch the sun slip into night			
Hold each other till it’s out of sight			
Don't ever hide or stop thinking of me 			

(Chorus)			
I only wanted to be your secret dream			
No-one else can see, no-one else can dream			
When the sun comes up and I have to wake			
Thoughts of you are still in my head			
Thoughts of all that we have shared			
			
If you like we could dance under the rain			
Life will be full of hope as it begins to change			
Oh I'm watching thru my lattice window			
Behind the glass just like a shadow			
Take my hand and I’ll guide you through			
 			
Repeat Chorus			
 			
As you lay down alone and turn your head			
Feel the cold from your empty bed			
Close your eyes and think of me			
			
Only you can have that secret dream			
No one else can see,  no one else can dream			
Only you can see			
When the sun comes up and I wake with you in my head			
Thoughts of all that we have shared
