really like the guitar and vocal melody..."devil in me lets the angels out"' great line

Great acoustic track!  Really like the vocal style.  I could hear a little Nirvana Unplugged on this one.

Cool acoustic track.  Really like the vocal style.  Reminds me a little of Nirvana Unplugged.

Neat!!! Love the title, concept, and great performance!!!

From the album Schopenhauer's Apprentice

when you lie to me
I can't believe
when you speak your words to me

when you lie to me
I can't believe
when you say you love me

when you lie to me 
I can't believe
when you speak those words to me

when you lie to me
I can't believe
when you say you love me

"They all go stupid in a race."
(Gustave Flaubert, 1821-1880)

The following text passage is mainly a translation from a blog by the author Goetz Eisenberg (*1951) called:
https://durchhalteprosa.de/ 
(which can best be translated as „Perseverance Prose“)

In the translation I have tried to stay as close as possible to the original text, however, due to phrasing, composition (etc…), I have used slight changes and additions.

Apocalyptic images 
Every evening on the news 
Heat, fires and disease
Floods, earthquakes, famines, 
War and destruction…
We are given such a daily dose 
Of horror news 
That we loose 
The capacity for outrage and revolt. 
We become numb 
And also threaten to loose 
The abilities we need 
To have empathy. 

(ref1)
Then, as now,  	(2)
We should cry out 
And rise up collectively, 
But the mass of images 
And the flood of news 
Make us fall silent
And paralyse the hooves

All go crazy in a race …

The more drastic the images 
We are presented with, 
The faster we forget 
What we have seen. 
The abundance and above all 
The concreteness of the images
Is the best means 
Of making us immune
To others misfortune. 
This is a facet of the "dialectic of enlightenment" 
That is far too little considered:
The more clearly 
Barbarism can be seen, 
The faster 
We forget it. 
News had a greater impact on us 
When we only heard or read it. 
The images of it arose 
In our minds 
And then occupied us more than one time

All go crazy in a race …

(ref2)
Then, as now,  	(2)
We should cry out 
And rise up collectively, 
But the mass of images 
And the flood of news 
Simply fob us off
With the surface

All go crazy in a race 
They all go stupid in a race	(2)
and we float along with it…

Lake Rhythm

Aside from musical satisfaction and $$$ - the motivations for artists to keeping going can be an addiction to the love from the audience.

SCREAMING AND THROWING UNDIES

Take my time with plug-ins
Connection satisfaction
Waving arms like a summons
Pointy introductions
And soon I’m ridin’ minor sevenths
Endorphins in my canal
I’m like a godly presence
As music funks it’s way around

But the pessimist inside – says shoot me your lovin’ arrows
Cause the deficit is – oh - the needing of something so shallow
Gimme screaming and throwing undies (love me love me love me)
Gimme screaming and throwing undies

Career or labour of love
Try and define it
Eyeing up those at the front
Is anyone buyin’ it
I’m phrasing out the words I wrote
Looking for misty eyes 
Reaching for a soulful note
Into clover wrap me tight 

Nature’s opium ride
Musicality
Bathing up here in spotlight
Dopamine alchemy                             Yeah I’m riding . . .

'Tóg an Bealach Radhairc' means ‘Take the Scenic Route’...always the best option.
 
Finn: I plan to go back to my Irish routes more this year and created a simple backing track on Octave Mandolin & Tenor Banjo, but then ran out of ideas.  Doina took a listen and came up with this lovely uplifting tune. The song had a different name when we started out, but now it reminds me of driving along a coast road with the window open. Thank you Doina! 

Doina: Celtic music has been a part of my life for the past 12 years and I can't imagine my life without it. When I started to write and record, these violin tracks seemed too simple. And then Finn started working, mixing, adding tracks. What a journey. Thank you, Finn, for giving me the opportunity to be a puzzle piece in this big machinery called music!

Music: Doina & Finn
Doina Bora: Violins.
Finn Eces: Octave Mandolin, Tenor Banjo.
Birdsong, recorded at dawn in County Laois, Ireland.
Produced Finn Eces.

Tóg an Bealach Radhairc [Take the Scenic Route]

GOLDIGGERS, HOUSES AND FAST CARS

A tongue in cheek look at life and something we all must of thought about in our younger days on our journey to becoming a Rockstar that nearly but never actually happened.
Could we really cope with fame & fortune and turn into a complete and utter paranoid, drunken, drug using woe is me individual.
We had a lucky escape guys 🤣
Thanks to Dirk from The Gatsbys for his contribution on the guitar work an excellent performance from Denmarks finest. One of the best things about Soundcloud is meeting like minded people and collaborating. Look forward to seeing what 2024 brings. Have a great Christmas and New Year and thanks for all the listens, likes, reposts and comments. 
Special thanks to Noobly for us his hard work in writing and producing such wonderful instrumentals. It’s two years since we started the Conscience Of Kings project and we have recorded over a 100 songs together. We have been interviewed by the BBC and had airplay from many radio stations and podcasts.Released singles, Eps and an album on all major streaming services, ended up on many playlists.
It’s been a journey and without Soundcloud it wouldn’t have happened . Thank you 🙏 

V1

I wanna blond headed girl that is 
gonna really rock my world 
And make me  feel special 
I wanna house by the sea just for her and me 
We’re we can make a  family 
I wanna drive to feel alive cruise down ocean drive
Feel the wind blowing my in my hair
I wanna be that man who said it can
anytime he wants to 


Chorus 

But it all comes at a cost
When you lose sight of what you got
The things that make you who you are 
Give me a little 
Dignity 
Give me a little  
integrity 
Over gold diggers 
Houses and extremely fast cars 


V2
Am I the green eyed monster
Who’s failed to conquer 
Total World domination 
Am I only joking 
But my ego still needs stroking 
So what are you waiting for
This will never end well 
And I guess you can tell
It’s just a lullaby daydream 
We all have big ideas
With even bigger fears 
So I will just stop there 

Chorus

Goldiggers, Houses and Fast Cars   -   Conscience of Kings with The Gatsbys

Thank you so much for listening!
 

I am on Spotify now, there is a version from when I first started this little project to the current state it is in.

I feel a little overwhelmed by all the great musicians on this site, so I have been very erratic with my plays and stuff. I haven’t been on a social media site since really this one, so please bare with me while I act like a toddler in a record store. Thank you for creating such wonderful music, this gives me hope in our community as a planet,

Also I am very bad about replying, I will try to respond as best I can thank you for listening.
