A Privileged Life (2023) ER TK-187

When Tom approached me with this piano melody, the initial arrangement and the title to which he hoped I’d add lyrics and vocals, I thought it was almost unnecessary as the piece already said everything required. Shortly afterwards, Jussi had added sublime guitar which offered a hopeful balance in the mood. Knowing what Tom was referring to without discussing it openly I wrote these words from a similar position of experience. I contrasted the first verse of a woman at her peak with the second verse of a woman in decline to heighten the emotion. I found that the spoken word approach allowed more emotion to flow from both the music and the words. Tom had the great idea to ask Hidefumi to complete the song with a phenomenal solo. Thank you to everyone who helped make this come together, and a very special thanks to all of you for listening.

She knows just what it feels like now.
I think she’s losing it, I think she’s losing it. 
When she is almost ready, 
She will lose her reserve 
And her inhibition too.
Then she’ll lose herself in herself and then she’ll be free,
To be what she wants, what she wants to be.

She knows not who she feels like now.
I know she’s losing it, I know she’s losing it. 
As if she's gone already, 
She has lost her reserve 
And her inhibition too.
Already lost herself in herself and now she’s elsewhere,
Knows not what she wants, nor who she used to be.

She's Losing It - Tom Régnier/Jussi Welin/Mark J Bennett/Boon-Suzuki

From time to time I am ending up with doing a total new mix on songs I have posted before.
This is one of those, its just a part of the continuing process in the making of music. Always something new to learn.
Thank you very much Oddvar for your great contribution on guitar

Lyrics:

When she was a little girl her daddy was the one
That she adored and looked up to
He taught her so much, they played in the sun
He was the king in her life..

She grew older
Her daddy's heart grew colder
He was no longer her king..
And all she could see was a thorn
In her faded memory

When she was fourteen her mother told her
Your daddy is not your real dad..
It broke her heart, she lost her king
She became angry and sad

She grew older
Her daddy's heart grew colder
He was no longer her king..
And all she could see was a thorn
In her faded memory

While time passed, and she moved on
Her faded memory returns..
It didn't feel painful
No longer a thorn
But her daddy's heart was gone..

While she grew older
Her daddy's heart grew colder
And he was no longer her king..
But now she can see her king
In her faded memory...

Here is the next song in The Smoking Trout's epic series, The Quest for the Holy Dumpling! After featuring 7 musicians on our last track this one feels pretty stripped down to the core elements of me, Jeff and Stephen. Came together rather spontaneously

LYRICS:
Took some money from a monkey
looking for some information
he got funky at a party on a planet
where we landed after launching
from Oaxaca
on a Monday in December
I remember needing fuel for the fission
in the belly of the bus
The monkey wanted Mushrooms
and we had a Kilo
and the recipe for the holy dumpling

Now Stu he started singing
a country song that he'd been working on
That went like This--

i'm pretty sure she loved me for a minute
so delicious in the moment we were in it
when she left me, I was so broken
by the cruelty of the loss
I sought solace in the bottom of a bottle
but I guess i'm better for it
and mostly now, the pain, I ignore it
anymore there's nothin left to do for it
but forget it--

The Monkey (Smoking Trout's HOLY DUMPLING #10) w/ Stonerjazz & Tea R. Sea

Parmi les morceaux récents, tous magnifiques, de Larengonat, l'un d'eux, "Dissolution", m'a inspiré un texte;  Larengonat a accepté que je le chante pour  qu'on en fasse ensemble une nouvelle song, intitulée "le temps immobile" :je l'en remercie infiniment
 PAROLES
 Ce n'est pas le temps qui passe
 C'est nous qui passons dans le temps
Comme une comète entre deux âges
Comme une étoile, comme un mirage

Ce n'est pas le temps qui passe
 C'est nous qui passons dans le temps
Tête la première vers les désastres
Que créent nos pouvoirs impuissants
Comme une comète entre deux astres
 C'est nous qui passons dans le temps

Avec nos horloges, nos cadastres,
On croyait dominer le temps,
L'espace, la terre, la mer, le ciel
Et tout le grand chambardement
 Alors avant de se faire la belle,
 poussière d'étoile, salue le temps
________________________________________________________
Time is not passing
 We are the ones who pass through time
Like a comet between two ages
Like a star, like a mirage

Time is not passing
 We are the ones who pass through time
Head first on disasters
What do our powerless powers create
Like a comet between two stars
 We are the ones who pass through time

With our clocks, our cadastres,
We thought we dominated time,
Space, land, sea, sky
And all the great upheaval
 So before you make a big deal,
 stardust, greets the time

Le Temps immobile ( Musique : Larengonat; Paroles et chant : vent d'ouest)

Hello! I am an amateur singer/songwriter with a lot of passion for singing and Music.  I mostly sing originals,  but also covers . I like to write lyrics with meaning, something people can relate to. Not necessaraly my own experiences, it can be something i heard, seen or something someone  told me.
I also make music in GarageBand with small loops I put together. 
I am very impressed with how many talented people there is on Soundcloud! And so much love and kindness!
Thank you all for listening,  likes, reposting and comments! It really means a lot to me❤️
