Shock the Algorithm

A FLIGHT TO MEET LOVE IN THE AFTERNOON

After some Soundcloud trouble we are finally back with a new song.
Enjoy.

Obsessive torment

Had it all, but have let it fall
ruined everything that was my joy
-- i've lost my destiny
dark thoughts that plague my mind
the darkness that conceals my life
-- the pain is consuming me
no more choice, it's all my fault
last thing to do is end my life
--leave those ive loved behind

Give it up, don't look back
says the voice inside your head
take no stance just forget
make it end without regret

lying there bleeding on the floor
last memorys, some final thoughts
blinding light, finally at peace
fucked up again, wide awake

--the blade cuts/the blade cuts/the blade cuts
through the veins

lying there bleeding on the floor
last memorys, some final thoughts
blinding light, finally at peace
fucked up again, wide awake

can't do anything right,
not even capable of controll over my mind
can't do everything right,
not even capable to take my own life

Obsessive Torment

can't do anything right,
not even capable of controll over my mind

want to end this life
so many times ive tried 
lost count of the selfinflicted scars
Hope i wake up dead
delivered of this torment
Set me free, release me from this agony
i am a slave to my own misery

i want to hurt you, like you did me
i deserve you, but you wont fucking see
now i will haunt you in your dreams
I will do it, Slit my wrists!!! you will see!!! 
you will suffer like me!!!

thoughts are like a broken record
think about you every second
I can't bear to deal with your loss
repeating the memorys over and over
Mental overload, does not recover
to much pain from the past
Words locked up remain unspoken
this is my time to be a token
disgusted that we are apart

obsessive torment

Obsessive Torment

A dark grey cloud, lit by bright lightning
Hailstorm approaches 
Storm drives icy wind into the face
Too late to return

Grab stick and rifle rapidly
Heavy hail hammers down 
And soon spurred to gallop
To reach the wizards ostracized shelter

This upload is only the 'drums & sound effects' track, of the full song Cut 2: "The Chase" (movie/car chase version). Here's a link to that full version, with the description of the movie & car chase concept explained:
https://soundcloud.com/user-432503709/cut-2-the-chase-1

I'm going to upload 4 versions of this song:

1) The full 'movie/car chase' version (including story/concept)
https://soundcloud.com/user-432503709/cut-2-the-chase-1

2) the 'drums & sounds effects only' version (no music)
    (this track)

3) the 'music only' version (no sound effects)
    (upload pending)

4) the 'original' music only version (recorded around 1999 or 2000)
    (upload pending)

I thought some folks might find it interesting to see this thing deconstructed and evolving from original to now. maybe not, lol.

I strongly recommend listening with headphones to get the full panning effects. The image is a combo of AI generated and cut & paste from my photos.

All comments welcome, and don't be shy to be critical or suggest ideas to help me improve. Like, “hey Mark, your car chase idea really sucks”. 😜

lyrics:
Ramona? is this what u really wanna?
Is this the life you have always dreamed of?
Listen your heart and go on!

Ramona? you gotta fight for what u really wanna
maybe you're the new madona
a mother, an actor in "Lavapies"

You don't need to get scared, don't be afraid you're almost there
these bright lights, the diamonds on your dress

Forget the past and make it last, we are getting old you gotta move fast
the whole universe is almost on your feet

Meeting with Shyntwirl: artwork Shyntwirl

One of the most intriguing artists on soundcloud, not to say the most onearthly creature –( in a good way ) is Shyntwirl….

He contacted me so respectful and called me creatif…. Multiply that with a milion and you have the Shyntwirl world….

Main difference is, I feel the need to please, while he is really free; no bounderies.

We called each other brother and sister and made an attempt to collaboration. 

I tried to make something with what he sent me, and it began to live it’s own life…. So far away from the original… 

It was the purpose i would add my vocals, not words but sounds as experimental as Bjork, and several others he named.

I began so enthousiatic several lines of chanting and added synths, other rythmes , had to cut things away from the original and i remained with something that nothing had to do with the initial plan…

My little brother didn’t give up and sended more etc…He remixed etc. Several new ideas…
He posted FORGOTTEN wich I like!

But i had to finish my project - it’s not a real collab - I call it a tribute to Synthwirl.
I hope you enjoy: MEETING WITH SYNTHWIRL!

My wife Jo and I met at work, having applied for the same job and as luck would have it, we were both offered positions in the personnel department.  I was instantly attracted to her and though there was an eight year difference in age, we seemed to have a true likeness of mind, the only problem being that the two of us were in long-term relationships.  Still, this didn’t mean we couldn’t be friends and we began to spend many a happy lunch hour together. 

However, the more I got to know her, the more it became readily apparent that my feelings were much more than mere friendship.  What made every working day worthwhile were those lunch hours we’d spend together.  I simply couldn’t stop thinking about her but given our circumstances, I kept these feelings bottled up for two long years.  Eventually though, I decided to gather my courage in both hands and tell her I loved her.  To be honest, I expected to get a negative response but all she said was “We need to talk”.

We talked and talked and talked and talked about every potential eventuality but nothing ever changed the fact that I really did love her.  Despite the fact that she’d never considered the possibility of us being together, it was such a relief when she told me she was very willing to totally change the course of her life.  Talk about your heart skipping a beat…

OK, so it didn’t prove easy but neither of us has ever regretted one single thing.  Thirty five years on, we are still very much in love and this song celebrates those wonderful lunchtime meetings, sharing more and more of our feelings, growing ever close through a friendship that became a bond as close as any couple could wish to have.  We hadn’t a clue where it would go and yet here we both are.  I still cannot stop loving her.

I owe a debt of thanks to Hans and Gal who pulled out all the stops to get this song ready for Jo’s 58th birthday.  Cheers boys! (Terry Reeves)

A friendship without complications
Conversations with no need to end
No conditions between sharing moments 
Chance to smile avoid thoughts to send

Chorus:
I cannot stop, cannot stop, I cannot stop loving you
I cannot stop loving the way you move
I cannot stop loving you
I cannot stop hearing your loving groove 

Space between survives the madness 
Surrounding words no sense to see
Sharing stories sometimes sadness
Not knowing why we should let it be

Chorus

Surprise connection with a distance
No disagreement but avoid a close look
Cautions grow, can’t change persistence 
The fairytale of perfect stays in the book

Chorus

I CANNOT STOP LOVING YOU - CRIPPLE CLUB

Once I wrote a longer description here: a love song in 7/4 ¿or 14/8?

Silvia II (Lo que siento por ti) /  Silvia II (What I feel for you)

Es de difícil clasificación  /  It is difficult to be classified
dentro de las variedades del amor  /  among all varieties of love
lo que siento por ti, lo que siento…  /  what I feel for you, what I feel …

Sólo sé que no puedo vivir sin ti,  /  I only know I can’t live without you,
no puedo ver sentido a mi vida si no estás aquí.  /  I can’t find sense to my life if you are not here.
Lo que siento por ti, lo que siento…  /  What I feel for you, what I feel …

Cuando todo va bien  /  When everything goes fine
lo que me une a ti es tu forma de ser,  /  what joins me to you is your way of being,
es muy fácil ver  /  it is very easy to see
todos tus encantos de mujer.  /  all your woman's charms.

Una idea que no puedo soportar  /  An idea that I cannot bear
es verte en brazos de otro, en otro lugar.  /  is seeing you in other one’s arms, in another place.
Lo que siento por ti, lo que siento…  /  What I feel for you, what I feel …

No puedo imaginar  /  I cannot imagine
tu voz susurrando a otro compás.  /  your voice whispering to another compass.
Lo que siento por ti, lo que siento…  /  What I feel for you, what I feel …

Cuando algo va mal,  /  When something goes wrong,
puedo contemplar tus defectos con claridad.  /  I can behold  your faults with clarity.
Cuando algo va mal,  /  When something goes wrong,
sólo quiero escapar a otro lugar.  /  only I want to escape to another place.
