Sometimes in love it hurts 
Sometimes in life it hurts 
Sometimes in love it hurts 
Sometimes in life it hurts 

People will come and people will go 
and people won't stay will leave you alone 
People will come and people will go 
and people won't stay will leave you alone 

Sometimes in love it hurts 
Sometimes in life it hurts 
Sometimes in love it hurts 
Sometimes in life it hurts 

They will make promises they will say they stay 
They will make promises they will say they stay 

Sometimes in love it hurts 
Sometimes in life it hurts 
Sometimes in love it hurts 
Sometimes in life it hurts 

You will learn how to deal with it 
You will learn how to take control 
you will learn you will learn 
you will learn you will learn 

Sometimes the best you can do for people you love 
It's just to let them go
Sometimes the best you can do for people you love 
It's just to let them go

Too late

Sometimes in love

Modern life is the Jungle. Jump out of bed and transfer to bathroom. Swallow your lunch while surfing the kitchen. Swallowed coffee and subway dips. Sitting job or machine tool you serve, until evening breaks the stone. Noon was, evening the barrel. Drunk, make your way. Family vomits your life. Hello modern slave.
La vie moderne, c'est la Jungle. Saut du lit et transfert Salle de bain. Avale ton déjeuner en surfant cuisine. Café avalé et plonge métro. Assis boulot ou machine outil tu sers, jusqu'au soir casse la pierre. Midi fut, soir le fût. Bourré, trace ta route. Famille vômit ta vie. Bonjour esclave moderne.
La vida moderna es la jungla. Salta de la cama y transfiérete al baño. Traga tu almuerzo mientras navegas por la cocina. Café tragado y salsas de metro. Sentado trabajo o máquina herramienta te sirve, hasta que la tarde rompe la piedra. Era mediodía, igualando el barril. Borracho, haz tu camino. La familia vomita tu vida. Hola esclavo moderno.

Truth ft Taso - Goodbye

TCR 51 4 51

Is this a Rock track? Is it electronic? Is it Techno, House or Trance? I think it must be something in between.

On my way

Pictured above is the song author/musician keeping a low profile.
Lyrics:
You know she's an exhibitionist
She likes to talk about her business
And she talks about it loud
10 million followers on the internet
She's an exhibitionist
That's not what I do
When I walk into the room
I am real smooth
You know, if you know me well enough
I like to keep it cool
I like to keep it loose
With a low profile (3X)
I like to keep it loose, I like to keep it cool

Yeah, an exhibitionist
Talk about our business
Talking about it loud
Get those likes
Don't forget to hit that button to subscribe
That's your life. It's not mine
With a low profile (2X)
Keeping it cool
There's are things you're gonna think, but I already knew
With a low profile (3X)

I like to keep it loose
I like to keep it cool
You know, that's what I do
When I walk in a room
I keep my low profile
Sometimes, you just think I'm in the ether
Like I was never there at all
But watch me be just real smooth
And exit this song
With my low profile...

EMU
Music by Overdrive
Lyrics by TN2

EMU stands for "emulator" in Information Technology. The track is inspired by the cyberpunk culture of Japanese anime/manga, especially the classics Akira and Ghost in the Shell.

The idea was completely insane -- to produce an industrial/cyberpunk track sung in Japanese by a female vocalist with a very soft voice (to contrast with the dark atmosphere). The first time I verbalized this concept with someone, it sounded even weirder. So it's no surprise that none of the numerous Japanese female singers I invited accepted the proposal.

It's true that Japan is known for its innovative musical ideas -- like the death metal band Baby (with three little girls as singers); or the virtual singer Hatsune Miku (a hologram with synthesized vocals) and so on. But industrial music with female vocals is not a common occurrence. Björk and How To Destroy Angels are some of the few exceptions in the music world. And without a Japanese singer, the EMU project would never get off the ground.

Fortunately, Dreamtonics' artificial intelligence synthesized voices and its amazing Synthesizer V software are getting better and better, and I was able to use the sweet voice of Mai, a synthetic voice package created for J-pop (!).

This work wouldn't have been possible without the invaluable help of TN2 (Toku-no-2ri), group that wrote the lyrics in Japanese. Their extraordinary sense of musicality in the choice of phonemes during the creation of the lyrics proved to be a very pleasant surprise. Japanese kanji are famous for their ability to embed multiple meanings in their symbols and the first draft of TN2's lyrics was written in kanji (later rewritten in hiragana to feed Synthesizer V). The apparently simple verses carry several meanings that are unfortunately lost in the English translation.

TN2, or "Toku-no-2ri", is a psychedelic trance unit of "MASH" and "NORI". They had been inactive for a few years, but restarted the project in 2021. The group has formidable composers and I recommend checking out their incredible electronic music tracks available for free download on SC:

Hope you enjoy the track.

LYRICS

ささやきにしげきされ
しょうどおがかけめぐる
やみにうもれたひびに
ひのひかりときはなて

だれもがゆめをみてる
さめることのないゆめ
とわにとらわれている
とわにとらわれている

[Ghost in the Shell narration]

すべてがまぼろしでも
あなたのねがいはなに
とわにとらわれること
それともめざめること

だからおしえてほしい
わたしがだれであるか
あなたがめざめるなら
わたしはうたをうたう

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Stimulated by whispers
An impulse runs through me
In the days buried in darkness
Release the sunlight

Everyone is dreaming
A dream that never wakes up
Trapped forever
Trapped forever

[Ghost in the Shell narration]

Life is like a nodal point born in an overwhelming sea of information.

And life, when organized into species relies upon genes to be its memory system.

So, man is an individual memory system only because of his intangible memory.

And a memory cannot be defined, but it defines mankind.

When the advent of computers made the externalization of memories possible, you should have taken its meaning more seriously.

My code name is Project 2501.

I am a living, thinking entity who was created in the sea of information.

[End of Narration]

Even if everything is an illusion
What is your wish?
To be trapped forever?
Or to wake up?

That's why I want you to tell me
Who I am
If you wake up
I sing a song

'The First Flower' is a musical interpretation of the opening words of Eckhart Tolle's book 'A New Earth'. This in a slightly extended version with a few words form Master Tolle himself :-)

The First Flower (Extended Version)

Diamante Omega.  Ariel en Bicicleta

An anthem for those kind souls we miss and for those special people in our lives who never leave us, even after they are gone.

Colours - Kaleidoscope

Found this on the proverbial cutting room floor when digging through files for the remaster project.

It’s a bit rough round the edges but I thought I’d throw it out there. 

The mission audio is Apollo control reading a selection of news headlines to the crew whilst they are on the outward leg of the journey. A bit of banality during an historic event.

In a Bar, Under the Sea

Nicola Sleeping Heart Awake V2

Imagine yourself flying through the galaxy in a space war, fighting unknown life forms.

Euroglider

Lyrics:
Trying not to trip upon my insecurities..
Refraining from a conditioned place where I used to 'people please'
In you I saw a woman in me I hid from society
To think I had forgotten that it's safe to just be me
You've lit a spark, sunshine in the dark
Shining so bright, lighting up the night

To fall from grace there I land gently on my feet
Where there's no judgement, shame or fear
Your gorgeous energy 
Peeling off the layers from my soul so we can breathe
The water that we carry, long journey to the sea
You've lit a spark, sunshine in the dark
Shining so bright, lighting up the night

I don't need you to save me
Because you understand me
I don't need you to praise me
Just please don't leave me
I want you in my life in whatever way or form

Peeling off the layers from my soul so we can breathe
The water that we carry, long journey to the sea
Spill over me let your heart be free x 5

Heart  Be Free

Lyrics:
There was a halo around her head but now it's too exposed
When she's ignoring who she knows
The chemical feeds what does not belong to me
You'll take what you need, abrasion of reality
Tangled up like a puppet on a string
Please remember an angel should never lose her wings

The snow falls so slowly on the floor
But when it stops the angel starts to thaw
mmm mmm mmm mmm

Floating fast like a dark cloud in the sky
Wait for the rain for when you get too high
Thunder shakes your body and your mind
Lightening strikes another chance to shine
I miss you, I miss you
I know what you've been going through
Your trapped under your own skin
Under the surface I know what lies within

There is a halo around her head and now it's time to go
The halo is now yours to grow

The ending on this version is slightly different from the track on the album.  Full version with trumpet solo available on most streaming platforms including spotify, Deezer, Apple, Amazon, Shazam and Boomplay. Vinyl albums available really soon. All links in my bio. Please follow me on spotify and YouTube if you like what you hear. Thankyou :-)

Halo Raw version without the epic long trumpet solo from the album "Thankful"

Another relic from the lockdown vault...

I wrote and recorded this at the end of 2020 (hence no mention of the events of Jan 6th 2021) but never released it at the time for various reasons. 

Given recent events I thought why not clean it up and put it out. 

Just a bit of haaahmless fun as Arnie might say :)
