"Part of the Sea" (Martina Book / Alex Sharp Cole)

Produced by acclaimed sound artist-composer, Alex Sharp Cole, who composed all background instrumentation(everything other than the female vocal and acoustic guitar) and who bases his artistic practice as performance artist, songwriter and producer in Gothenburg, Sweden.

When the novice artist, Martina Book, approached Alex Sharp Cole and asked him if he would possibly record, produce ...and help make the vision she had of her song into a reality.  Alex Sharp Cole agreed to do so, free of charge -- his only request was that he would be credited fairly for the work he had done -- Alex Sharp Cole believes in doing this... in helping the plight of up and coming artists.  

He considers it his mission to bring good music  into the world.

Alex Sharp Cole :  "Lorraine"

This is a song I spent hours upon hours, days upon days in 2014 trying to capture the magic (at the mixing stage...though the vocal & guitar performance is one live take.)

This is a version I'm calling "late night mix," in order to differentiate it from the many, many others.  ..it is a 24-bit version, for those of you with a solid set of speakers or headphones.  

(If using speakers, please turn it up as loud still comfortable to get the music as it is intended!)

Alex Sharp Cole:  "Beautiful Mind" - summer 2017

I’m losing my mind / girl, don’t judge me, I tried to be good / but the daggers are back in my brain, girl / i feel 'em like every day girl / its like these tiny diamond daggers burn the back of my eye lids / I feel so tired / but as much as I try, kids, i can’t sleep at night / so i use the booze to help me turn out the lights

now I’m into the dream and I’m screaming along and I’m writing a song, it was there all along -- but i can’t chase the feeling my life isn't real / God I just wanna feel / 

like I’m losing my ground / I’m out on the town / the booze hound chased me down / and I can’t get away from him this time /  that nose knows I done run a long time

but look at yourself / you think this only happens to somebody else? / Don’t judge me, hysterionic little girl / your pain is nothing compared to mine

as i looked in her eyes i saw that was a lie cause the way the eyes shine show me stories behind them / you dont understand / the dream felt so real / God, I just wanna feel / like I’m into the dream and I’m screaming' along when I’m written' a song so my soul has a mirror / but i can't fight the feeling that nothing is real / God. I just wanna feel / 

alive.


I'm Losing My Mind

lyrics:
i dont know, i dont know what is real, but i have to do what I feel..

i get so mad, i could try something bad, but i want to be free of love

my only girl, the soul of my world, she was looking for a porno job

in her eyes i would turn into something

i would just go insane

insane.


some nights i'm mad, i dont wanna be bad so i try to resist the urges
some nights i'm mad, i dont wanna be bad so i try to resist the urges
i try drugs but they ain't got the stuff 
i needed to live my life

my heart died when i found all her lies / my destiny enshrouded in darkness
i try to write cause it's better than violence for revenge in our hearts may destroy us
what is real, we just see what we feel. we chose the life that we wanted

this time.

found out what your real job was
found out what your real job was
found out what your real job was
found out what your real job was
found out what your real job was
