"I have recently tried keeping my production as simple as possible..." And keep doing so! The vocals, lyrics & melodies are far more important than the hyper sound quality of contemporary music. That's my two cents... Lovely track!

Captivating melody and great finger picking, bravo!

Lovely production with great lyrics and instrumentation

stunningly beautiful singing and song, wow!

Greetings my Soundcloud friends. I'm very excited to share this remix of my latest solo effort, 'I Disbelieve'. Neons Gone Mad (https://soundcloud.com/prof-oddfellow, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCda8pJTvzwH3-Towb1AHhEw) does a wonderful job of adding quirky clockworky elements to the mix. And they create charming videos to support their efforts. Both are very worthy of your time. I hope you'll give em a spin. (Here is a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plYeA0pEfx0) :)

The second song to be released under the name ‘Continental Collision’ but this time with special guest and good friend Dave McKeown. Rodolfo first let me hear the original basis for ‘Boring Town’ back in June, yet somehow he didn’t sound excited about it. However from the first I knew it could be great. I was looking for the story in those two words as well as in the mood of the music and fortunately it came quite quickly and fitted like a glove. Singing this was a challenge for me, like everything we do, but it was exhilarating. I had introduced Rodolfo to Dave’s cloud and it felt right that we should ask Dave to help us complete the song. I hope we will have the opportunity to work with him again soon.

When I look around I see the light’s gone out this town,
Realising just a bit too late.
Streets have all gone quiet and feels like all the wires are down.
Tell me why I’m feeling in this state?
Not so long ago we felt that we’d be happy here,
Not just for now, but for always.
That’s all turned around now at least that much it is clear,
Not the old days, instead separate ways.
Like the loser on a game show.
Can you tell me where did all the fun go?
Darling without you,
It’s such a boring town,
Only coz you’re not around.

The bar, where we first met, is still there, though I never go,
Realised it’s lost its old appeal.
Crossing the park, where we might meet and stop to say hello,
Couldn’t deal with how it made me feel.
All the places we once loved I feel I must avoid
Not just for now, but for always.
I no longer know what I want, I feel I’m paranoid,
Not the old days, instead separate ways.
Like the loser on a game show.
Can you tell me where did all the fun go?
Darling without you, where did the love go?
Such a boring town,
Only coz you’re not around.

“In solitude, the mind and body are not troubled by distraction.
Therefore, leave this worldly life and totally abandon mental wandering. In the ultimate aspect, the Bodhisattva is self-actualized when the nature of mind awakens. This is known as the Bodhicitta-Mind of Awakening."

My new song ‘Down the Driftwood Steps’. This song was written, recorded and produced entirely by myself using my acoustic guitar and my 80s synthesiser. I am always astonished by the variety of sounds that can be made with my synth and I have to really restrain myself from adding more and more elements. I have recently tried keeping my production as simple as possible and you might be able to hear that in my recent released. I originally wanted this track to have a country-style production because of the fingerstyle guitar but, as often happens, the song chooses what it wants to be and I have to go along with it. Any recording artist will know what I mean. My discography is generally quite melancholy so I wanted to make a somewhat happier song; something to get you through the cold winter months. I also made a music video for this song which is available on my YouTube channel (Rosa Lavenne). I hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:
Drops of silver moonlight, they will splash down on our skin
The waves, the sand, they could take the pain away from living

You know, it could be you and me, boy
You know, it could be you and me, boy

Let’s build ourselves a chamber of sand dunes and sea pink
Throw away our cares and curses, tell me what you think

You know, it could be you and me, boy
You know, it could be you and me, boy

Ooh, we’re still young and free
Ooh, we live by the sea

And let us not go gentle into that good night
There is only forever between us and the daylight

You know, it could be you and me, boy
You know, it could be you and me, boy

Ooh, we’re still young and free
Ooh, we live by the sea
Ooh, we’re still young and free
Ooh, we live by the sea

Una Composição Sonora de Amor
una Oração Cantada
um relembrar da alma libertária
uma releitura inspirada na "Oração do Amor", por São Francisco de Assis
uma reverência a mãe natureza
a todas as vidas
a alma UNA
ao aqui e agora
a essência de todas as vidas
a gratidão por tudo que foi, há e será
a unidade sagrada mágica cósmica apaixonante cocriadora abundante encantadora plural musical bailante multipotente onipresente divina metamorfósica que somos!

"Oração Natureza UNA"

Ó Natureza
Cantamos pra lembrar nossa sagrada essência

Onde houver ódio seremos o amor
Onde houver ofensa seremos o perdão

Onde houver discórdia seremos a união
Onde houver dúvida seremos a fé

onde houver erro seremos a verdade
Onde houver desespero seremos a esperança

Onde houver tristeza seremos a alegria
Onde houver trevas seremos a luz

Ó natureza seremos o consolo que procuramos
A compreensão que esperamos
O amor que buscamos

Pois é sendo exemplo que se ensina
A vida é um ritual
E nós somos medicina

Ó Natureza
Seremos o perdão que necessitamos
Sempre mudando e recomeçando
Desapegando e reintegrando

É assim que resgatamos
Nossa essência Natureza UNA

É assim que resgatamos
Nossa essência Natureza UNA

Oração NaturezaUNA (Releitura inspirada na "Oração do Amor", por São Francisco de Assis)

Clutching at the coattails of gothic folk, Rosa Lavenne delivers a dreamy sound with melancholic lyricism. Heavy on reverbed synths, as well as the folk traditions of fingerstyle guitar and melodic harmonies, mean that Rosa stands at the crossroads between tradition and modernism. The intricate fingerstyle guitar and natural vibrato of Joan Baez combined with the ethereal sadness and dreampop inclinations of Marissa Nadler is one way to describe the sound of Rosa Lavenne. Under the influence of the acoustic masters such as Leonard Cohen, Townes Van Zandt, Sandy Denny and Bob Dylan, Rosa Lavenne adds her unique twist on folk pop melancholia. 

Rosa has been played multiple times on national radio (BBC Wales) and has been featured in the British folk magazine Folk Radio UK. She has been compared to folk greats such as Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks and Sandy Denny. 

It is important to Rosa that her art is entirely her own which is why she writes, records and produces all the sounds entirely herself. She frequently sings about the loneliness and hopelessness of youth as well as heartbreak, love loss and a longing to return to the past. Like herself, Rosa’s music is introspective, pensive and, at times, pretty gothic. She hopes listeners will come and explore this world with her.
