Really like that talking / singing vocal delivery

It sounds so amazing, really awesome collaboration!

Absolutely fantastic Mark and IPG1! This, I should think, could be really hard to pull off, but man you guys nailed it! (PS. Followed your listening instructions - loud is good!)

Great arrangement. Very interesting iterration of Ian's rap. Nice collab!

I see you hanging in the swimming pool changing room
Several inches longer than a daffodil come in to bloom
You’ve been swinging like a murdered mobster
And I’ve had a visit from the
The green eyed-monster 

You gotta a new lady every time that you’re seen
Your bed sheets move like a ghost on Halloween 
You’re piping hot like fresh cooked lobster
I’ve had a visit from
The green-eyed monster 

I hear your singing ringing bells and holy gongs
I see milk curdle as I hum all my favourite songs
Your a chick magnet and I’ve just lost her
I’ve had a visit from the
The green-eyed monster

You tower me

You tell me to grow up and stop peeking, looking over my fence 
But your pond is greener and my weeds aren’t half as dense
You lost your job 
And your wife just left yer 
I’ve had a visit from the
The green-eyed monster

Oh I got a white coat
Your as red as a lobster 
So don’t get a visit from the
The green-eyed monster

The Green-Eyed Monster

If you only knew how hard I tried
To put on my happy face and act like I’m satisfied
Then maybe you might start to understand
Why I can’t stick around and and be your happy man.

I want to see what’s over the next hill
This present situation is making me feel ill
I’m gonna keep on trying until I get it right
And I don’t care if it takes me the rest of my life

I’ve spent way too many years in front of a computer screen
Absorbing radiation, designing complicated machines
Some folks would tell me that I’ve got it made
It’s not a backbreaking job and at least I’m getting paid

I know there’s lots of people who are worse off than me
And I’ve got no right to complain
They say the grass is greener on the other side of the fence
But I suspect when I get there it’ll be the same

So I maintain the status quo
I try to go with the flow
Every day I ask myself 
Should I stay or should I go

I want to see what’s over the next hill
This present situation is making me feel ill
I’m gonna keep on trying until I get it right
And I don’t care if it takes me the rest of my life

I’m gonna keep on trying until I get it right
And I don’t care if it takes me the rest of my life

Gonna  Keep On Trying

A remixed oldie. Warning: The lyrics of this song contain depictions of interpersonal violence and suicide. That said: Hello… Glad you dropped by. Since I have been busy gardening lately, I haven’t been on SoundCloud all that much. But today… June 17th, it has been cold and rainy, with some snow (yes, snow!) predicted for tonight. So I have tarps and covers ready to go, to cover the frost sensitive plants. Years ago, when I first posted songs here, my exuberance often blinded me to just how bad those songs were. So I ended up posting and deleting songs all the time. Once a dude asked if I was using a mic, as the ‘white noise’ machine hiss of the HD was unbearable. He said it in the kindest of ways. I did end up getting a mic and also did a song thanking him. Other times, I used to introduce my songs with a deep, drawling voice. That was hilariously comedic. Another dude laughed so hard when I was first learning to sing. I posted a song with me warbling from baritone to high falsetto…. OMG. Later, I laughed too. People here were graciously patient and kind as I struggled to learn music way back when. Unlike a friend’s parents who chased him in an effort to take away his banjo and he never played music again. So thanks for bearing with me, as I test out vocal harmonies that really don’t work, or just wing a song, with no rhyme of reason. Or when I rant and howl about this or that. Because that kindness has allowed me to explore music in a way I never would have before.  Mark

Equanimity And Loss

"A Love Like No Other"

Recollections of flowing memories from when you entered my life
Your long black flowing hair & those beckoning eyes that still call me
It was obvious that we were never through which is why I returned
And in this world, who could ever say they knew of romance like this?
A Love Like No Other

Am deeply sorry for the pain I caused from an addiction that destroyed me
You were always the one & I struggled to cope with all I could not say
As time slowly passes by, I know in my heart you will be back in my arms one day
A Love Like No Other, a girl that gave me a reason to smile
A Love Like No Other, the connection of two souls that become one

Déclin

Vidéo : https://youtu.be/RVOcoq2FZPA

Texte : Sanzen
Chant : Baie des Anges
Musique : Alain Illos

J'ai retrouvé le goût, 
la force de vouloir.
 Revenu des confins, 
des ciels brouillés...

Voleur de mots,
je me suis enfui
En quête de fleurs rares, 
de plages où je languis.

Et j'invente un pays
qui me ressemble.
Fait de soleil et d'océan. 
De parfums qui embaument

J'ajoute mes mots,
aux voix qui psalmodient. 
Enfin, je sens ce que je suis.
 La divine comédie...

Et j'invente une vie 
qui me ressemble, 
un paradis.

Revenu des confins,
voleur de mots, amoureux... 
Je sais qu'il est trop tard,
 pour être heureux.

Et mon âme en déclin 
et mon coeur fatigué. 
Et les soleils mouillés
 et les plus rares fleurs

Et j'invente une vie 
qui me ressemble,
un paradis.
Voleur de mots, 
enchantent mon âme...

Déclin avec Baie des Anges

Hip Hop fans on Soundcloud are likely to have come across the prolific talent of Ian Greaves (aka @IPG1). Ian's smart & slick vocal tracks are widely used in collaboration by other artists, as I've done here with one of his more popular lyric tracks, "Modern Times".  

On this collaboration, all lyrics are written & sung by IPG1, and most of the music is performed by me, with the exception of the sampled vocalization in the middle bridge and ending, and a few minor sound effects here & there. The beginning starts off normal enough, but the middle section takes a bit of a left turn before I 'go off' on the synth in the second half. I kind of enjoyed working the sliders on the live synth performance.   ;)

HUGE thanks to IPG1 for his generosity and helping me put together what is effectively my first hop hop tune, originally composed as an instrumental track. The lyrics are a topic close to my heart too, so really enjoyed being able to add my 2 cents in a way. 

Here's the link back to IPG1's original vocal track; please give him a listen!:

And here's a link to the instrumental version, which was composed first before adding Ian's lyrics:

I don't gotsta tell y'all this would be best played loud with headphones.   ;)

Modern Times - The Digital Age (Hip-Hop collab with IPG1)

Lyrics
[verse]
Easy Does It---too smooth/ another groove-
Bottom line ---another jam/ now watch the move
Turn a blank page ---straight in-to a masterpiece
A HipHop feast----Practice-- rehearse---and unleash a beast
------No if —-and or buts----not even a maybe 
 I tend to rhyme a lot ---it's in the bag baby
An awareness of what's ---about to go down
Never careless -----and seldom ----ever wrong
Never the less------I'm here ——-so Let's---throw it down
My blueprint----- my process-----so sing along
pump up the volume ---let's do it like that
Don't really matter as a matter of fact
As long as you're rocking by the end of the track
Level one up------Cruising like a Cadillac

[verse]
so many rhymes --------written-------------- styles bitten 
Tracks so sick --- they'll leave you ------------bed ridden
Word play--------written-----with ------------shadow--rhyme hidden 
visions-----That occur------with ------------lethal--precision
--------insight for dayzzz-----------experience that pays
you'll be amazed------------rhyme after rhyme--phrase after phrase---
-----how the hell he do that------and the-------  message conveys ---
cohesion on the track--------I'm-a---set it ----ablaze
Another--Track ----turnt----up------Set this one on---------re-plays

[verse]
This ain't no illusion—-no trick, no mirage
I'm crafting the hits—-like I'm the rap Sarge
Line after line—-I speak the hard truths
Old school grinds from my early youth
Sharp as a tack—-with flows that stick
A verbal attack—-slick quick pic
In this game of words—-I'm the king, no debate
Got bars for days—-stack them up, heavyweight
I ride these beats—-got 'em begging for mercy
Half poet, half prophet—-lyrically wordy——————————

A short instrumental section for a pretentious long song I've just started on - hopefully it will work in context  🤪... it's fair to say I struggled with the fingerpicking - needs work 😬
