This is my experience before God guided me into A.A. and I began working the 12 steps. Thankfully, for today, I don't have to live that way anymore. I really enjoyed producing this track and am thrilled on how it turned out! So grab your headphones and give it a listen! ALL feedback welcome so be sure to leave a comment!

Prelude (Demo)

Following The Vision - With JungleGrroo

Nonsense, just nonsense! Hopefully the listener will feel like someone kicked down their door, rants for 3 minutes and then leaves. Leaving the listener to ask "what was that?"
Lyrics:
Riding my bicycle
I was 8 years old
Riding to the Biblioteca
What the heck does that get ya?

Hey! Speak up asher bard
They say your miseries are symphonies
Hey, what are you writing in that notebook?
You know I say: I'm a poet
But, I make my own hours
That's how you know that you really own it
How you know that you've really made it
I been playing a fool for so long
But I will probably do it again
If you insist
Hey, c'mon everyone
Give it up for the band!
I've been  trespassing on salvation
I've been speaking in binary code
I'm an observer in slo-mo

Let's disseminate the movie of my life
Cue the split screen
It's like some kind of cosmic universe blooper reel
I'm trying to document the way that we feel
It's 3 AM in the rain
And I'm staring at myself
It's 3 AM in the rain
Can you not see your self?
Oh let's give it up
Give it up for the band!

Let those good vibes shine!
I've been thinking about the matter
And the anti-matter
I've got some kind of Dostoevsky skin disease (cough)
You know what I mean?
I've got the aftershave and undertones
The poet's got the loneliest nose
For the way things go

The biblioteca, what the heck will that get ya?

Good Vibes

More power to the brave Ukrainian people.

There is a playlist called "new latitude" in Apple's iTunes music.
It is an exciting list where jazz artists jump out of the realm and collect a variety of music such as experimental music and soundscapes across genres.
 My goal is to make a song that will be selected for this playlist as an indie artist.
But I'm not a jazz player. So, while making detours and making techno music, I'm trying to gradually insert the essence of jazz into my songs.
 Because I have no experience playing jazz, my only skill is to have courage. ..
 For the first time in this song, I think I made a little progress on my own. I feel the utmost joy when I get closer to my goal.

For me dreams are the most common access humans have to their soul and to other realms of consciousness. It is hard to grasp them with words, so I rather let the voice and the melody try to find the way through some scenes of some dreams I had. Many, many thanks to Myckaël Marcovic (@myckael-marcovic) for his impressive knowledge and support mastering the song. He opened me fascinating doors to this totally new field for me - I will try to follow his footsteps in the next songs...

Google translation of the lyrics:

I dream of old friends
about an old city
I often have old fears
In some dark nights, in some dark nights

I sleep close to a beautiful women
and caress her gently
I'm naked and at the mercy
in some dark nights, in some dark nights

Sometimes in dark corridors
in this old town
trapped in constraints
that I make myself during the day, that I make myself during the day

Even in dark corridors
in this old town
trapped in constraints
in some dark nights, in some dark nights

Coming soon...

Dreams in the dark

Winter Rose

There is a lull in the field.   On Monday, we go back to the plough.  Till then …

Welcome to velleins’ table! The finest in the fief
Come to Mrs Fletcher’s fabled feast beyond belief

Porray of leaks and onions
Acrobats, fools and jongleurs
Don’t be seen, Thomas, from inside the Hall, where the nobles call

‘Cos nobody knows we’re here.  Dedicated to the night
Rose winter rose appear. Celebrating out of sight.

The darling thrush, the spectre grey
The tangled bine-stems score the sky
Now seek their humble household fires

Welcome to velleins’ table! The finest in the fief
Come to Mrs Fletcher’s fabled feast beyond belief

Venison on a trencher
Roasted swan dressed in feather
Take good care, Thomas, from inside the Hall, where the nobles call 

‘Cos nobody knows we’re here.  Dedicated to the night
Rose winter rose appear. Celebrating out of sight.

The darling thrush, the spectre grey
The tangled bine-stems score the sky
Now seek their humble household fires

Cos nobody knows we’re here.  Dedicated to the night
Rose winter rose appears. Celebrating out of sight.

The darling thrush, the spectre grey
The tangled bine-stems score the sky
Awaits their summer joy desires

There is a lull in the fields.   On Monday, we go back to the plough.  Till then …

My name is J.P. and I'm a grateful recovering alcoholic. My last drink was 07-08-20. This is my music called "An opus of recovery". Each step will have its own track but will be interconnected creating one complete audio experience. It starts out with 'Prelude' which details how it was for me before completely surrendering to my disease then continues into the 12 Steps of A.A.
