Donde siempre

https://soundcloud.com/33per , my dear donkey fellow sent me this wonderful instrumental, a Big Thank You for that, it was a great pleasure to write and sing along.

The image shows Gregory Peck as captain Ahab in John Houston's film adaptation of Melville's “Moby Dick” from 1956, having just nailed a Spanish dubloon on the main mast.

AHAB (All Hypocrates Are Basterds)

O-o-ohh, o-o-ohh…
Tell me please…
Is that really happening-ä-ä-ä-äppening ?
Do you feel that too ?

Noone is getting out here
Oh no-no-no-no-noo, o-o-o-o-o-ooh
Noone is getting out here alive

Ohh no
Not even the feckin’ basterds
No, no
Not even those feckin’ basterds

Will survive
Whatever may be the strive

See, because 
Noone is getting out here alive
Not the president
Nor his wife

Whatever may be the strive
That won’t work

Ohh oh 
All hypocrates are basterds 			(AHAB)
Ohh, oh
All autocrates are feckin’ basterds 			

They can fool the people 
For some time,

But,
But,
But,

They can’t fool all the people all the time
Not really …
That’s beyond the line

It’s possible to continuate
To self-determinate
To not participate…

So to say:
I would - and - i would…

And i-i-i-i-i-i-i- would 
And I would… 
I-I-I would…
And i would and I would…
I-I-I would…
I would prefer not to…

Little Fly

re-imagining of Iced/Mantra in neo-classical celtic style
the original is here: https://on.soundcloud.com/Fu7WQ9GS6dw4nILnaB

This is one for my funeral.


lyrics:

Even when the rain comes down
Even with the skies torn open
I will still be here tomorrow

Even when things falling down
Or when every heart is broken
I will still remain tomorrow

I'll be there for your best side
Hurtling up the open wide
Nothing here was meant to mourn for

Though your life was blown away
And the right words you couldn't say
You did never pass unnoticed

Though the skies keep falling down
and reality lies underground
there is so much yet to learn for now
its the thunder, its the same
too much trouble, too much pain
at least all this is taken all away

When The Rain Comes Down

Echoes

Not everyone is on holiday, even in the heat of summer. Some still work while the city falls silent, stretched under a long, empty day. I can’t tell if the man expects something to happen; to me, it feels like nothing will happen today either. Anyway, everything's good.

This is the third in a series of eight easy, acoustic, rather short, and deliberately inconclusive tracks, assembled by combining new ideas with reworked older material, adding parts and sounds along the way.

Part 1 here: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/in-case-nothing-happens-part-1-night
Part 2 here: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/in-case-nothing-happens-part-2-dawn
Part 4 here: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/in-case-nothing-happens-part-4-late-afternoon
Part 5 here: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/in-case-nothing-happens-part-5-night-again
Part 6 here: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/in-case-nothing-happens-part-6-dawn-again

Composed by Michele Ansani (2020-2025 - this is a remake with a lighter sound and standard guitar tuning of a piece I already posted last year: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/imperfections).
All the ambient noises are taken from public sound archives. Female vocals are courtesy by Black Octopus.

In case nothing happens - part 3 (noon)*

This is another cover of an oldies tune, 'Another Saturday Night*', written by the great Sam Cooke (he wrote the song while staying in a hotel where no female guests were allowed). But this version is a cover of another cover - Cat Steven's version of the song. Cat's version is more upbeat, with a bit of a Latin feel to it. Being a fan of both versions, I threw in a sample of Cooke's original at the very end, and the voices from the studio recording at the very beginning, including a count off by Cooke himself, just for fun. I REALLY enjoyed doing this one, and hope it shows in the recording. Thanks for listening.

All instruments played by me on keyboard:
-organ
-acoustic guitar
-flute
-trumpets
-alto & tenor sax
-piano
-bass
-percussion
-drums
-lead & backing vocals

*Song written by Sam Cooke

(apologies for my absence from Soundcloud lately; work & some recent vacation time keep getting in the way. how dare they!)

HIGH AGAINST A CLOUD

Close your eyes
let me take all your cares away
Close your eyes
are you there? do you feel me 
you can have it your way
Another lover
another night in my bed
You felt the hunger
as the rush hits your head

Close your eyes
let me take all your cares away
Close your eyes
are you there? do you feel me 
you can have it your way

Whoa baby

as the rush hits your head

It's in the night when we roam
yet everyday we recover
This love I've found
Is a love like no other


Close your eyes
let me take all your cares away
Close your eyes
are you there? do you feel me 
you can have it your way

Heavy Head Music (ASCAP)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

From jukebox corners and back-alley promises comes the lost soul soundtrack to a film that never hit the screens but always lived in the grooves.

Loaded Brew serves up 11 shots of pure ’70s heat — from the tear-stained confession of “If He Ever Makes You Cry” to the tender surrender of “I’m the One Who Loves You.” Each track walks you through Carlena and Peter’s forbidden love story: the secret dances, the whispered wishes, the bruised nights, and the final run for freedom.

“Close Your Eyes” pours out Peter’s promise of escape.

“This Feeling” rides a groove you can’t talk yourself out of.

“You’ve Been Crying” holds the hurt in one hand and hope in the other.

“I Can’t Stay Away” spins like a slow dance in a smoke-filled lounge.

“Kisses” simmers with fire-softened tenderness.

“Wishing” looks up at the stars and dares to believe.

“JT Lude” crawls through the city like a shadow.

“Shadow of a Man” lays bare the weight of doubt and broken pride.

“I Had to Run (You Came For Me)” runs breathless through the night.

“I’m the One Who Loves You” is the sunrise after the storm.

Loaded Brew: sippin’ smooth, hittin’ heavy.
Drop the needle, dim the lights, and let the movie play in your mind.
