IL FAUT TAIRE LE TEMPS

Les vérités fragiles, celles qui indisposent
Des heures indociles qui vieillissent les roses
Sous des lueurs ingrates dans ce compte à rebours
Les années qui partent aux allers sans retour.

Les folles images sans oraisons verbeuses
Nous tournent la page des idées voyageuses
Devant ces rêves fanés de pensées furtives
Le souvenir d’un passé aux humeurs positives.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

Sous couvert d’absolu, larguer le mauvais sang
Vers des terres inconnues au milieu d’océans
S’oublier des hier sans se moquer de tout
Il reste tant à faire pour aller jusqu'au bout.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

En rêvant de son mieux, vers de jolies pensées
Un sourire dans ses yeux ne peut faire qu'avancer
La vie est ainsi faite, elle va, elle vient, elle fuit
Et même quand tout s'arrête, rien n'est jamais fini.

Mais regardons l'avenir, il reste tant de choses
Beaucoup d'éclats de rire qui font les vies en rose
Profitons du bonheur en vivant ce présent
Et sans penser à l'heure qui brisera ce temps.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
En vivant les instants… en vivant simplement.

Lyrics:

BEYOND THE CLOUDS
The rays of sun seem to take you away
   beyond the clouds in the sky
The sunset now comes here
   The sunrise comes with you there

It's better than you could ever think of it
It's better than the place you leave
Your smiling eyes could now see the light
A star for you will shine so bright

Forget me not
Forgive me now
   for all I could do during your life
Toward the sun
   smiling you run
Take now a new breath
   with a new air

Produced by Cosmic Keanu

Lyrics:
It’s Going Down
The wait is over ——It’s going down now
Savor the moment—-for what—-time allows
it’s going down——it’s going down——now
it’s going down——it’s going down——now
it’s going down now———Ah

Matrix been hacked—-so check your screen feed
this that powerpack top-pick legend in the league
IPG1’s back—- low drag high-speed
explosive on impact ——-giving you what you need

Lou letting loose on the mic
hear the call ——after all here’s the proof that I’m nice
me repping me —- so you gotta feel the hype
morning day noon and night
Tear the roof down ——-sure you’re right ———-
hot is lava ——watch me flip the script —-as cold as ice
double down ——leveled up ——just to break you off a slice

Going to take you to the next level ——stay in stride
hold on ——baby—-strap in—-for the ride

It’s going down
it’s going down now
it’s going down
it’s going down now ———-let’s goooooooo——ooooo (pan)

🔛—— fire in the hole —-here’s another heater
blowing up the track—-Ear candy—but-sweeter
I do it-all —-cause I can —— hear me holler back
just another dope jam—-fam—-- I’m—down like that
Better act like you know————-the complexity
Intense —-ain’t it bro —-don’t—-even question me
bob your head to the rhythm ——— like you just——-agree
beats hitting—— like I won the state lottery
ticket (take it)anyway —you want to—-I broke the mold
Bringing heat nonstop——body heart and Soul
On top of the world—-and I’m feeling —— great
Burning up this track——- kicking ———-808’s
punching through——turned up —-like a heavyweight
With that underground bounce—spreading love not hate

The Wait—is over—
Its’s going down —(X2)
The Wait—is over—
Its’s going down —(X2)

Doing better than good—-yeah —- I’m awesome
Peace keeping—run the hood —-like my kingdom
Earbuds in my ear —-pounding on my eardrums
check the swing on the beat yo—a home run
put a smile on my face—-dope production
—tight beat 808’s——— from the underground
and that’s deeper than the levels——of a Stadium

Going Down (Featuring IPG1)

(Free WAV Download available here under '••• More'; and eventually, as part of a future solo album)

Good morning everyone. While you enjoy my newest song, I have another book I want to share with you; this time purely for fun. The book is titled ‘Moonwalking with Einstein (The Art and Science of Remembering Everything)’ by Joshua Foer, and it’s an intriguing exploration into how our memory works, and how it can be life hacked.

For those who haven’t encountered the idea, I first discovered the term ‘Mind Palace’ in the new Sherlock series (with Benedict Cumberbatch). At first I assumed it was a clever way to further the story along; showing us Sherlock’s miraculous mental powers, and his ability to explore and revisit locations from his memories. But after reading this book, I’m happy to say the Mind Palace is a real thing; and it really works. :D

So if you ever find yourself needing to remember a long list of items , but you lack paper and pencil (or the ability to take notes on your smart phone, because you’re trapped in the distant past without your charging cables)… here’s how you do it…

First, you need a location that is very familiar to you. In my case, I chose my house and garage. 

Second, imagine a path traversed through that location. I chose to imagine the moment I pull into the garage after a day at work; and the walk I would take leading into the house and up to our master bedroom.

Third, imagine those items in your path, discovered along your intended route (and here’s the fun part… the sillier you can make the object, the easier it is to remember. An apple is just an apple, but an apple with a baby bonnet on it really stands out in your memory).

So as an example, I want to remember a grocery list that includes apples, milk, a bag of flour, gum, a protein shake, etc. In my imagination, I step out of my car to discover a basket full of apples wearing baby bonnets on the table by the garage door. I then proceed through the garage door to discover a cow holding a container of milk, smiling at me. Then I make my way to the back door of the house, and am hit with an exploding cloud of flour as I open the door. Now covered in flour, I make my way into the kitchen and discover lawn gnomes sitting at the table, chewing gum and blowing bubbles. Walking past them, I find a muscular squirrel pumping iron with one hand, drinking a protein drink with the other. And it goes on and on from there. 

Just to give you an idea how effective this technique is, Cheer and I were easily able to recall about 25 things… in the correct order (and we’re talking concepts as well as objects) while experimenting with this little memory game. That is mind blowing to consider; and it’s amazingly easy once you get the routine down. 

So there you go; a new mental acuity game you can play with friends and family. And it’s just one of several concepts shared in this book (which also includes techniques for memorizing sequences of numbers, or a poem, or the stacking order of a deck of cards, etc.). I had a lot of fun experimenting with these tricks and techniques, and I still practice some of them from time to time. I hope you find the concept intriguing as well. And I hope you enjoyed my latest musical offering ‘The Secret World Inside My Blanket Fort’ while you expanded your brain’s capabilities. :)

The Secret World Inside My Blanket Fort

Old black sneakers taking edgy steps
Pick a busy time now as you hedge your bets
Hands are gripping  tight around the printed map 
The other even faster on your shoulder strap 
Beads of sweat forming as you take the lift 
Polarising mind now as your thoughts all shift 
Focus on the high street as the sidewalks blur
And another angry scream slices the evening air

Dirty walls climb up so high
Concrete slabs oppress the sky 
Eyes wide watch the junkies fight 
Feel your senses start to bite 
Maybe take a higher road 
Away from urban overload 
Beyond the fog now you can see
Old mothers arms can set you free

Double up your dose now for the metro line 
Try and tell yourself that everything is fine
Hear the sneering sniggers from behind your back
Hands already shaking mask begins to crack 
Stomach doing pancakes as the faces spin 
With any sense of safety sitting in the bin
Scramble to the closet as you reach your brink 
Say hello to breakfast as you hit the sink

Dirty walls climb up so high
Concrete slabs oppress the sky 
Eyes wide watch the junkies fight 
Feel your senses start to bite 
Maybe take a higher road 
Away from urban overload 
Beyond the fog now you can see
Old mothers arms can set you free

March On

Cansado bajo el sol

Cansada voz contó:

 ya me dirás
 se cura con la edad”

LETRA/LYRICS:

Sonidos de ayer  /  Yesterday sounds

Este cielo negro de suaves alas,  /  This black sky with soft wings,
que hoy de mi frugal sueño es techumbre,  /  which today for my frugal dream is a roof,
en este vasto mar, allá en su cumbre,  /  in this vast sea, there up its top,
hallo para mi anhelo puerto y calas.  /  I find for my longing port and coves.
 
Este oscuro manto que se ilumina  /  This dark mantle that is illuminated
con titileos de almas de cristal,  /  by clinkings of crystal souls,
trae a mi mente recuerdos sin mal  /  brings to my mind memories without evil
y otros tristes vientos de dura espina.  /  and other sad winds of hard thorn.
 
Mas es la pálida luz de la luna,  /  However is the pale moonlight,
corazón sin latido en este cielo,  /  heart without beat in this sky,
quien con sus mudos cánticos me acuna.  /  who with its mute chants cradles me.
 
Ella, álgida burbuja de hielo,  /  It, culminating bubble of ice,
me trae sonidos de ayer; la luna  /  brings me sounds of yesterday; the moon
me amanece. Y sonrío. Y vuelo.  /  dawns me. And I smile. And I fly.
