February 11  2020

I know your tired - but hey dude I am too –I'm  tired of trying to resurrect – the good in you
The good in me – has taken a back seat – and I just watch you flounder around – wondering when you'll come around 
And you walk – down this lonely road – trying to find a place you can stand still find a place you can call your home 
The real in us – We watch it dissipate – and as our life is fading away we find peace in our solitude 
But hey we’ll keep on moving with thoughts that are soothing In hopes it will get us through our day…
There’s something I been meaning to say!
Why’d the fuck you let her get away
Could’ve saved yourself from all this god damn pain
So much disease can’t figure out the strain – I'd like to hold you down and rub away the stain
2nd verse
I know your tired – But Hey dude I am too – I'm tired of trying to have your back – when you never pull through
The good in me – has taken a back seat –And I know your about to erupt – when did your soul become so corrupt
And you walk – down this lonely road – trying to find a place you could stand still find a place you can call your home – 
The good in us – we’re sick of all these games – but it’s something we’ve grown so used to there won’t be any breakthroughs 
hey we’ll keep on moving with thoughts that are soothing In hopes it will get us through our day…
There’s something I been meaning to say!
Why’d the fuck you let her walk away
Could’ve saved yourself from all this god damn pain
So much disease can’t figure out the strain – I'd like to hold you down and rub away that stain
I’m so fucking tired – but hey dude so are you – I'm tired of trying to find the words – when they all cut through - yeah!!!!

The Stain.....

Day is done and I’m coming home, – think happy thoughts to lessen my load, clench my fists and get in that mode – forgive me but long is my road, take a side street because I need some time, to create a smile that isn’t mine, I’m pulling up an hey I’m doing fine, aside from losing my shine. Did you notice that tear in my eye, was hoping that you’d ask me why,  so much to tell you about my day, well maybe it’s just better this way
Yet all this time I always knew – how grateful I was for you but trying times get the best of me
with my chin up I face the day – I never knew any other way – then to grind it out – but I guess that’s just me – it’s my reality 
I have seen the worst of everyone – and it’s made me positively numb – March to the beat of someone else’s drum – was always trying to be just someone – take a side street cause I need some time – to create a smile that isn’t mine – I’m pulling up and I’m doing fine Except I’ve lost that shine
Did you notice that this wasn’t me? do you think about who we used to be?  Do you have a heart or has it gone to hell? trust me woman this man can tell – I’ve hid away for far too long – Let me break it out here in this song – I was not the only one who was wrong, will I ever find a place where I belong 
Yet all this time I always knew – how grateful I was for you but trying times get the best of me  
with my chin up I face the day – I never knew any other way – then to grind it out – but I guess that’s just me – it’s my reality 
Day is done and I’m coming home – think happy thoughts to lessen my load – clench ,my fists and get in that mode – forgive me but long is my road

Eric Festa's Album

Grateful

And oh, life goes way too fast - I look to the past and all i see is you
and you were my shining star - better than the last - I better watch my breath
its fading fast - I know that you are here but you seem to disappear in all of my despair - I die again
I have to face the truth - that everything I am I am because of you
and you I know you feel it too cause everything that we've become we've never come undone
And oh this alcohol is killing me - sometimes i drink so much I cannot see - and you never bat an eye - stand by my side - no matter how rocky the ride 
and oh --- I know that your are here but you seem to disappear in all of my despair - I die again 
and I have to face the truth - that everything I am I am because of you - and you I know you feel it tooo- cause everything that we've become we've never come undone
remembering  when life was oh so simple back in the days
now I spend all my nights looking down at your grave 
its oh so dark and desolate this hell blowing in my face
I need you to have my back just one more time
and oh I know that you are not here but you seem to reappear in all of my despair I die again
and I have to face the truth that every thing I am I am because of you

Because of you (I die again)

Out in the desert... Burning man ghost... Lit up in style, starting to glow


Motown Sugar Man

Change is overdue!
Full lyrics

I'm tired of being down all the time i wish that you would lift me up
I'm tired of being tired all the time to face the truth would be way too much
I think of all the things you did to me and all the pain i felt in your touch
I think of all things you said, woman they add up - you said way too much
Change is coming you could smell it in the air
Don't know who you think you are but pretty girl you better think again
A storm is coming down the road - you better say what you got to say 
because your words are growing old the absolute is on its way 
I'm tired of being wrong all the time when half the time i know i'm right
I struggle with my insecurities and let you win each and every time
I used to be a stronger man i seemed to lose my confidence somwhere along the line
i need to find my balls again before the absolute gets swept behind
Change is coming you could smell it in the air
Don't know who you think you are but pretty girl you better think again
A storm is coming down the road - you better say what you got to say 
because your words are growing old the absolute is on its way

One more time!

"The Absolute"

I always put you up on a pedestal - And you would prove me right every time - And every day my life's been better still - I never let you off my mind
I always thought that it be better by now - I always seem to let you down - I'm trying hard but babe it's bred in me - Please don't leave me upside down
And there's a cold wind blowing from the north and i worry about us all the time - with the distance growing and sharp hollow notions we're oblivious through it all
Promise me you'll never leave me even though the coast is clear just say you aint going nowhere - i saw him leave the house smiling - saw him tuck in his shirt believe me babe your secret's safe with me - it'll always be safe with me
I always thought that we'd be better by now - I never seemed to let this go
Walking away babe is so damn hard - when you're all I've ever known
And there's a warm wind blowing from the west and so much i need to get off of my chest - I didn't mean to hurt you but i am flawed - believe me baby I'm doing my best
Promise me you'll never leave me even though the coast is clear just say you aint going nowhere - I saw him leave the house smiling - saw him tuck in his shirt believe me babe your secret's safe with me
It'll always be safe with me
It'll always be safe with me safe with me
It'll always be safe

Safe with me

Lyrics:
Tick tock goes the clock 
deceiving thought
think time has been lost
Time ticks by...
an illusion of the mind
We can all find time 

Land of glory his name held high
Soon aligned with the Saints i pray
In his name Jesus
Send your child healing straight away. 

Heal your hurt children with us stay

Be the light 
to see the light
Hear you he will
Your heart can fill

Lyrics...

For every one reason why you should stay
There are two reasons why you should go
But if you give me a half a chance
I have you begging begging for more

It's been a down here Journey
Too many Forks in the road
We've got to pick up battles
We've got to stay on our toes

Didn't you know that anything worthwhile is worth fighting for
I love is like a diamond in the rough
So let's break it down 
To the Common Core 

Break it down to the Common Core (2X)

Breaka breaka breaka break
Break it on down

One plus one is two
We've got to start all over
Start it brand new

Breaka breaka breaka break
Break it on down

Two plus two is four
We've got to break it down
To the Common Core


Didn't you know that anything worthwhile is worth fighting for
I love is like a diamond in the rough
So let's break it down 
To the Common Core

Yeah, you wanna break it down
Break it on down to the Common Core
Yeah, come on come on come on

Breaka breaka breaka break
Break it on down. (4X)

Didn't you know that anything worthwhile is worth fighting for
I love is like a diamond in the rough
So let's break it down

Break it down (10X)
To the Common Core

Break It Down - NayJ. & Julien Apelian

Una canción dedicada a un amigo holandés, por eso va en inglés... Se trata de la transformación mística de un panoli cualquiera en nada menos que un dios egipcio! En fin, dentro de poco se me acabarán las excusas y tendré que hablar de política...
Lyrics:
Lie on your bed of stone / Never felt so cold / Never see the light!
Cry all the wrong you've done / You've messed with the world / Now it's time to fight!
BECAUSE OF HATE / HOW ROTTEN IS YOUR CORPSE [I will never be reborn]
BECAUSE OF HATE / HOW HEAVY IS YOUR HEART [Now I feel so cold inside]
Climb out of the tomb you've carved / You must leave behind / the ballast in your mind
Fly up into the sky / Extend your beetle wings / Embrace the starless night
BECAUSE OF HATE...
Free will is now the law / You are now a god / Osiris reborn! Osiris reborn!

Osiris Reborn

Short songster song about loneliness in the city I wrote 20 years ago.

Now I've given a jazzy feel in 6/4 to the unique strophe which has only chords E & Em, transitioning to 4/4 rhythm towards the unique 'refrain' line, with up to 3 different chords!

All but drums are 'organic' tracks: bass, pocket sax, guitars and voice.

Translated Lyrics:

Combatir la soledad,  /  To fight loneliness, 
nada fácil a mi edad.  /  not at all easy at my age.
Ser comido por la ciudad,  /  To be eaten by the city, 
combatir la soledad.  /  to fight loneliness.

Quiero creer que estarás en casa esta noche  /  I want to believe you'll be at home tonight.

After really tough fights, let us introduce you this cute song.               Male vocal, arrangement, mix and master by Jíra aka G2H https://soundcloud.com/user-976540936 ;                                                                    Female vocals, flutes, guitars and endless patience by Kat aka @canette3frostie

Ve zvonkách

This song started from Tom Régnier's "Celestea Time" instrumental
track (https://soundcloud.com/tom-r-gnier/celestea-time). I put some words on it and made an acoustic guitar arrangement, then we thought it would be nice to link up my version with Tom's, resulting in a new concept of collaboration where people don't play at the same time. But we still very much hope you like it. Dream on...

Rêvé

J'ai rêvé un nouveau monde
Au-delà de ces contrées
Et des barrières de neige
Dans le vent qui me repousse
Comme poussière égarée
J'ai rêvé, je rêve, je rêverai

J'ai rêvé une étincelle
Dans ses yeux qui souriaient
Le battement de ses ailes
Dans la nuit bleue irradiée
Quand les étoiles filaient
J'ai rêvé, je rêve, je rêverai

J'ai rêvé d'une planète
Aux sentiments distingués
Pour nos enfances fragiles
Qui donnerait en douceur
Quelque chose à espérer
J'ai rêvé, je rêve, je rêverai

J'ai rêvé un paradis
Au-dessus de nos planchers
Pour continuer d'être ensemble
Et les rêves envolés
On pourra les retrouver
J'ai rêvé, je rêve, je rêverai

Letra:  Sofocada yo estaba en medio de la nada
El viento se vuelve sombras no existen palabras
Todo es un vacío hermético
Hermético, hermético
Sombras solo sufren, Un altar de susurros
Todo gira en torno a la confusión
Seres caídos, el laberinto se extiende, la nada se apaga
Solo quiero escapar de este lugar

Organismos siniestros, estaciones dormidas
Lugares abstractos, presos de la oscuridad
presos de la oscuridad
presos de la oscuridad

Bailo con Mis Pesadillas

Vacío Hermético

Decided to get back to what got me into writing for films in the first place, orchestral adventure scores! 

So in this piece I've try to encapture themes of wonder, danger, action, heroism and beauty.

Hope you enjoy! :)

Bali Folksong Instrumental - Macepatan - Africa Version

Pele is the goddess of fire, lightning, dance, wind, volcanoes and violence. Her poetic name is Ka Wahine 'Ai Honua - the "woman who devours the land". 

She is both a creator and destroyer. She throws molten fountains into the air and governs the great flows of lava. 

With her power over the volcanoes, she created the Hawaiian Islands and to this day, she has been known to reveal herself throughout the beautiful islands she crafted herself.

No Kahiki mai ka wahine 'o Pele,
Mai ka 'aina mai o Polapola,
Mai ka punohu a Kane,
Mai ke ao lapa i ka lani.

Translation:
The woman Pele comes from Kahiki,
From the land of Polapola,
From the rising mist of Kane,
From the clouds that move in the sky.

Soundtrack / Documentary (Excerpt):
An original Hawaiian Chant performed by Master Kumu Hula Blaine Kamalani Kia with a minimalistic ambient soundscape by Peter Heckmann.

Lyrics


Holiness is air
Air is emptiness
Filling the voids in my heart
All the colours swirl in a visionless
Pool of pity
I'm giving I'm giving I'm giving
Until there's nothing left

One two three
Good reasons to believe
I got
One two three
Things I had to leave
One two three
Good reasons I can see
I got one two three
Spirits in me
One two three

Loneliness is love
Love is endlessness
Chasing a butterfly
Breathing in the air by the waters edge
Sparkles and sun and ice
Everything flows and comes back again
Just like a dragonfly

One two three
Good reasons to believe
I got one two three
Things I had to leave
One two three
Good reasons i can see
I got
One two three
Spirits in me
One two three

Wild as a meadow
That knows no bounds
Living in my mind
I'm walking and sleeping
And hoping and leaving
Until I'm nothing left

One two three
Good reasons to believe
I got one two three
Thing I had to leave
One two three
Good reasons I can see
One two three
Spirits in me
One two three
One two three
Good reasons to believe 
One two three
One two three
