LIFE IS A WICKED RIDDLE

Calm and Steady series no. 117

These tracks were uploaded between 04/2021 and 06/2021, with the following older exceptions:
. . - VARTCH "I Was Born Next To The Ritz"(#17): 5 years,
. . - CirquexX...Psychology "Obliterating Darkness"(#19): 3 years,
. . - Alex Gobbett "Miss"(#1): 12 - 23 months,
. . - Diddymousedid 2 "Hot Summer Gift"(#20): 12 -  23 months,
. . - OK Feather "Coocoo Cafe"(#12): 11 months,
. . - FlukeyMcSwagger "Queenspark"(#10): 8 months,
. . - Atlandic Canyons "Haunted World"(#11): 7 months,
. . - Zabirski "Skończona Historia"(#5): 6 months.

The other series (short tracks) so far are:
- "Hard-Fast-or-Nasty" (more intense/abrasive)
- "MiddleLane", and "Superdance" (the middle, or ambivalence)
- "Funky-Dub-Trap", and Funky (terminology conundrum)
- "Fantaisies" (for professional dancers only)
- "Minimal"
- "Dark"
- "BreakB-Jungle-DnB"

There is little overlap between them, mostly between: *
. . A) Superdance
and
. . B) all other series

* Increasingly there is some overlap between "Calm & Steady" and "Funky-Dub-Trap", and between a bunch of others (Dark, Minimal, ...). I'm trying to keep it to the minimum, the overlap, tracks finding themselves in more than one playlist. I don't think I'm very good at it.

Mood Cake

A collection of tracks from various Soundcloud artist that have a soothing effect on the soul, either because they are highly sympathetic, relatable or simply because they contain such soothing harmonies. Genres wildly vary. Handpicked from personal resonance.

Evocation

A CONTRATIEMPO

I would like to depopulate your heart,
of useless promises that they encouraged,
life in the winter,
and force you to resign,
at a time that we dream
less fierce.

I would like to remove from your balcony,
the green clarity of hope
stuck in the cement.
And tell you that it is today
the time of a future
that it was ours.

It suddenly hurts us to bear
the daily insult of a life
still gripped by fear.
We were hoping, perhaps,
that was less harsh,
of course.

Don't ever look back again,
that there is no one left in the place
from those old days.
Don't try to escape
that here we are tied
Without remedy.

I would like to agree with you here
that the impossible may still be future
freedom that you carry inside
and show you that it is already today
the time to start
all over again.

I would like to confess that I do not know
because reason I need to suppose
that I'm not lying to you
maybe it's this song
like a cry of love
setback.

Give it and give it way
to life, you have to walk,
give it wind, clear water,
seed and you will see
that sooner or later
life starts again.

Tribute Against Time

I wrote this to get over some stuff I'm dealing with and I am learning that I make myself more worried than anyone else does. So join me and say I am not afraid of whatever is getting you down.

I'm not afraid of the big bad wolf 
I'm not afraid of the big bad wolf
I'm not afraid of the big bad wolf 
Who's comin' to get me 
No you can't get me

What big eyes you have
What big teeth you have
You can huff 
You can puff
You can even blow
I'm not afraid 
If the big bad wolf

This is Chunka.  Once again thanks to @oneblindmouse One Blind Mouse for the bass and the assistance with the post production/engineering.  Much gratitude. 

I don't know if it's just in Texas we say "chunk" if you wanna throw something in a general direction.  That kinda inspired this one.
Also this has possibly the best pinch harmonic I've ever recorded at the 1:15 mark so enjoy that. 

Don't miss the nifty bass solo at the end of this one !

Early Bird

This track has gone through many versions, but I knew which direction to take it in after I heard singer Jani while looking for new music. I completely reworked the entire production and style of the song just in the mere hopes that she would respond and be up to collaborating. I was ecstatic when I got the response and I was expecting something good of course, but my expectations were far exceeded by her performance and understanding of what I was going for.

The Rendezvous

Wow! What can someone say. If anyone of you really takes the time to read my crap (thanks i appreciate) probably knows, that i had quite some troubles with inspiration and really felt like i over exceeded myself and my artistic vessel in 2k20....

So i really kept sticking more to listening and later on i had to take a complete break, step a bit back and i got to admit that i really enjoyed the off time. I was completely away from and with music, as i couldn't keep up with this intense pace and i simply wasn't able to draw any more out of that fragile "bucket" so to say.

I am really into Collaborating this year, so i put aside my (plenty of) projects and as i really befriended a few of you amazing artists out there, i got to admit, that it was (no offense towards any other closer friends here) the biggest impact for me, when my dear @texmex-shaman suddenly sent me this first raw version of the first third of what i can present to you today.....

It took me quite some time to get into it, but then it evolved, it grew into this wonderful thing here and i think it cured me... kinda... After busy months and going (wild again) with the arts for the cover to try to also convey the feeling into an image to show it to you, my fellow soundcloud friends and all other people....

..., it guided me to the point where i can now say "Here we are. This is it for me, after a long break to be able to upload again something where i put so much love and creativity and musical spirit into"...... This is also a declaration of love to Jim Morrison and his Spiritualty and his Native American Spirit......

Thank you for staying here with me my friends and its always so great to experience all this and this community and passion and love for music and so much more!

Truly yours,
Cmd. SF

At Swim Two Birds

After being in bed for the last month with an injured back, getting physiotherapy twice a week, feeling sooooo very frustrated not being able to go out, I guess I wasn’t feeling very creative either, anyway feeling better now. 
I went out for a very slow walk along the water, and boy, it was magical. The perfect sunny weather with a refreshing breeze. Looking at branches of the trees around me swaying gently in the wind and the slow ripples of the water…..just a perfect moment in time, hence the title Moments And Dreams.
It doesn’t take much to appreciate simple moments in life. 
Hope this track represents my relaxed state of mine, enjoying  beautiful moments and dreams. Enjoy. Love to all. . Copyright protected ©

Homage to Relativity Theory's Centenary & Mr. Albert Einstein.
Based on a delightful 6/4 main theme by https://soundcloud.com/exploderamera, we offer to the listener some variations on 5/4, 4/4 & 2/4 signatures, relatively round composition, lotta love, and two questions...
----------------------------------
Music: ExploderaMera and E-Ruizzo
Lyrics: Albert Einstein
Vocals & Artwork: ExploderaMera
----------------------------------
There are five houses.
The Englishman lives in the red house.
The Spaniard owns the dog.
Coffee is drunk in the green house.
The Ukrainian drinks tea.
The green house is immediately to the right of the ivory house.
The Old Gold smoker owns snails.
Kools are smoked in the yellow house.
Milk is drunk in the middle house.
The Norwegian lives in the first house.
The man who smokes Chesterfields lives in the house next to the man with the fox.
Kools are smoked in the house next to the house where the horse is kept.
The Lucky Strike smoker drinks orange juice.
The Japanese smokes Parliaments.
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house"

Now, who drinks water?
Who owns the zebra?

Gardens of the Zone

By the Ocean of Sadness
Was the Land of Fireflies
So cry your tears
Cry your tears if you can

Save yourself
No one can help you
They're watching you in dismay

Your colors were red
Your colors were blue
But now your color is just see-through

So cry your tears
But no one can help you
The time doesn't flow back

The Time
Doesn't 
Flow
Back...

CLOSE YOUR EYES

Albedo no contexto da alquimia, designa o segundo estado do Magnum Opus: a purificação. É precedido pelo estado nigredo (morte espiritual), e sucedido pelo citrinitas (despertar) e rubedo (iluminação).
Do ponto de vista psicológico, a fase de Albedo é frequentemente associada à prática da consciência e da auto-observação, após o encontro com a sombra que ocorreu durante o Nigredo. 
Em outras palavras, durante esta fase, estamos testemunhando despertar gradual do ser que se encontra adormecido dentro de cada indivíduo. E isso não acontece através da repressão, mas através da realização de sua verdadeira natureza.
