Captivating vocal lyric track..great orchestration..love the hypnotic effect..excellent mix & recording!

Once again, absolutely delightful poetry. You have a gift at capturing moments, thoughts, and emotion with such vivid and poignant word-scape impressions. So enjoyable!

I'm loving the upbeat instruments on this one. Excellent work

VERTIGO

Original instrumental by Mahan Mahan  https://soundcloud.com/mahan-mahan

Mahan sent me this instrumental track entitled "Janinerator."  Hmm.  I wonder who he really intended it for...   Anyway, I sang over it, totally unsure. It's really different for me. But here it is. Thank you Mahan!

Look the Other Way

Life before was just a bore
Sitting in a café with my
Laptop, looking at the door
And sipping on a latte as        

My head was swaying back and forth
To the rhythm of a mixtape
And my heels were tapping on the floor 
Waiting for my big break

I was thinking swiping left and right
On the faces on my cell phone I’d be
Looking up at mister right
Til’ you stepped into my safe zone

Look the other way
(hey, how are you?)
Look the other way  
(love your picture!)
Look the other way
(in your latte)
Look the other way
(goes my finger)
(I’m a terrible person )

And I’m Falling up
I’m Flying down
The floor is rising up
And I am falling down 

Memories get in the way  
When I go into that weird place, I just
Lock my heart and lock the door
And hide inside my suitcase

And my head is swaying back and forth
In the hallway of a stranger
With my necklace lying on the floor
Even now It feels like danger

Look the other way
Look the other way  
Look the other way
Look the other way
I’m a terrible person

Look The Other Way - with Mahan Mahan

私はあなたのために周辺の心を持っていたらいいのに.

I tried to sing the love of a faded adult.

[Verse 1]
I was dreaming, too long than I thought and I'm here to stay
Our heartbeats resonated and I believed in love, oh-oh
You won't go back to me anymore
But I ain't lost my love since I began
Like the shadow of that dawn moon
Float in the sky and collect darkness

[Pre-Chorus]
It might be an illusion, but love was certainly there
You don't have to go back to me anymore, ’Cause there’s a dawn moon

[Chorus]
I've noticed it for a long time
Finally I got a reassuring ally
I don't run from nothing,  ain't layin' low
I'm going do it now

[Post-Chorus]
You don't have to go back to me anymore
’Cause there’s a dawn moon

[Verse 2]
I got it all what I wanted, too soon than I expected
I was believing in the future and I danced the times with you, oh-oh
I can never go back to the past
But I ain't lost my love since I began
Like the shadow of that dawn moon
Float in the sky and collect darkness

[Pre-Chorus]
It might be an illusion, but love was certainly there
You don't have to go back to me anymore, ‘Cause there is a dawn moon

[Chorus]
I've noticed it for a long time
Finally I got a reassuring ally
I don't run from nothing,  ain't layin' low
I'm going do it now

[Post-Chorus]
You don't have to go back to me anymore
‘Cause there is a dawn moon

[Chorus]
I've noticed it for a long time
Finally I got a reassuring ally
I don't run from nothing,  ain't layin' low
I'm going do it now

[Outro]
You don't have to go back to me anymore
‘Cause there is a dawn moon
You don't have to go back to me anymore
‘Cause there is a dawn moon

Lyrics:
OUT OF THE DARKNESS
I SNEAK UP UPON YOU
CURL AROUND 
YOUR WAIST
GAZE INTO 
YOUR FACE
WHILE YOU 
LIVE OBLIVIOUS
CLOSE ENOUGH
TO KISS
BUT HISSING
LIKE A SNAKE
I TAKE AN 
AWFUL SHAPE
MY EVIL
TAKES THE CAKE
I BREATHE YOUR AIR
FOR GOODNESS SAKE
I'M AN ANCIENT 
ANTI-SAINT
SENTIENT I AIN'T
I WISH I WERE
CUZ I'D PREFER 
SKIN
SO INSTEAD
I'LL JUST HAUNT
THE SKIN 
YOUR IN
IS THAT A SIN?

OUT OF THE DARKNESS

OUT OF THE DARKNESS (Video in description)

Please excuse my mistakes, this is an improv, it just came out of mid air. I hope you enjoy it though, I was thinking about my life as I was playing, Let me know what I can improve on and what you would like to hear.

Improv #5 - Story Of My Life

This is a song that I thought was about someone else, but it's more likely just about me. 

lyrics

Looks like you've got everything you want
there ain't a single thing left that you need
you're flowing through life like the sea
boy you don't see the woods for the trees

I wouldn't decline no invitation 
to go smacking your head against the pavement
flick through warning signs but you don't read
boy you don't see the woods for the trees

keep pushing all our worries around
try to bury them deep underground
you better keep that spade close at hand
so we can dig out your head from the sand

when I burst into your surgery seeking remedies
you called the alarm
now I've swallowed all the pills you prescribed
I'm telling you I want to be discharged


Keep giving all the people your time
your family said you've got an altruistic mind
but they won't tell you when you're so sick
or that you're life's greatest fucking hypocrite

I know I don't got too much education
but I deciphered your charm from fabrication
I used to bite at the slightest provocation 
now I'll just growl and consider each situation

I may not have everything I want
but I got from you what I need
You ain't got nothing left for me
boy you don't see the woods from the trees

recorded at home on my tascam 8 track

#New #OriginalSong #Dancing #Leaves

[Chorus１]
Woo, we ’re like dancing leaves
Need to change, need to
Need to stay the same
And I know what the truth is, what the truth is
Everything is fuzzy, too
Life is a series of decisions
Like falling dead leaves, falling
It’s not decided even if it falls to the ground

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I walk while kicking the fallen leaves
The front and back change until it becomes soil
Reboots happen here and there, happen
Unpredictable, it all depends
Leaves, autumn leaves
A shot of my smile when I was innocent
Wanna write my hardest wrongs and crazy parts
Gore-Tex is still active after 10 years

[Bridge]
Oh, I’m dancing quietly
Blue sky, high, red and yellow
Beauty and power
Oh, I laugh even if it's painful
‘Cause it's alive
Thank you mam, yeah, eh, oh
Dancing leaves, 
dancing leaves, 
dancing leaves
we are dancing leaves

[Chorus２]
Woo, we ’re like dancing leaves
Need to stay, need to
Need not to stay
And I know what the truth is, what the truth is
Everything is fuzzy, too
Life is a series of departures
Like falling dead leaves, falling
It’s not decided even if it falls to the ground

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I walk while kicking the fallen leaves
It never ends, never, until it becomes soil
Reboots happen here and there, happen
Unpredictable, it all depends
Leaves, autumn leaves
I’ve redone it many times, as I wanna do
Here I go on a new trip, let's go together
Finally, I'm free,  two kids are good adults

[Bridge]×２
Oh, I’m dancing quietly
Blue sky, high, red and yellow
Beauty and power
Oh, I laugh even if it's painful
‘Cause it's alive
Thank you mam, yeah, eh, oh
Dancing leaves, 
dancing leaves, 
dancing leaves
We are dancing leaves

[Outro]
Dancing leaves, 
dancing leaves, 
dancing leaves
We are dancing leaves

Dancing Leaves

I found myself scribbling furiously in my little spotty book.  

Messed about with a couple of simple chords and picking patterns and thought I'd grab a quick one-track take to see if it all hung together.

I was quite chuffed - it seemed to fit - got all the way through on one live take too, albeit with plenty of clangers, twangs, tangled fingers, buzzing strings and missed chord changes.  That's pretty darned good going for me.

Every subsequent attempt to improve was, of course, rubbish. 

So here you have before you my flash/bang song writing and recording effort in the raw - no edits no eq.  If it was beer or bread, then over here it would be labelled "artisan" and would command a price premium.

That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

Enjoy.  :)

The End of Time

Not far now, for us to go.
Down our evolutionary road.
Lights flickering out, truth be told.
Not far now, for us to go.
Crawling slowly to the certain end.
Following the neon signs ahead.
Grip my hand for comfort, ancient friend.
Crawling slowly to the certain end.

But when stars coalesce to one celestial diamond,
When infinity’s ticking clock calls midnight’s chime,
When my spirit meets its own event horizon,
I’ll be smiling there, to greet the end of time.
	
Gauge our progress on the ground.
Bible parables everywhere are found.
Pestilence, poverty, injustice all abound.
Gauge our progress on the ground.
No archangels lead our cause.
The thieves that rape the game steal ever more.
With their plague of fixers, liars, cheats and whores,
No archangels lead our cause.

But when stars coalesce to one celestial diamond,
When infinity’s ticking clock calls midnight’s chime,
When my spirit meets its own event horizon,
I’ll be smiling there, to greet the end of time.

Lay our morals down and quit the fight.
Can’t defer the descent into night.
Close our eyes, imagining the light.
Lay our morals down and quit the fight.
Nowhere now, for us to go.
They’re digging up our evolutionary road.
Lights have flickered out, it’s turning cold.
Nowhere now, for us to go.

But when stars coalesce to one celestial diamond,
When infinity’s ticking clock calls midnight’s chime,
When my spirit meets its own event horizon,
I’ll be smiling there, to greet the end of time.

When our universe collapses back to elementary birth
When truth, faith, hope and charity intertwine
To fuse a light too bright for any darkness on this earth
I’ll be smiling there to greet the end of time.

Getting it

Genocide, June 2025:
Israel is only the executioner, every nation which has armed that country in the past year is an accessory to that genocide, an accomplice, a facilitator.  We cannot talk about war crimes because when you target unarmed civilians, mostly women and children, we are talking about a massacre, like terrorists do, not a war. The people who orchestrated that massacre, in the US, the most duplicitous, followed by those of the UK, Germany, France, and probably a few lesser ones should be tried for crimes against humanity just as well as Netanyahu and his cabinet, because it has been going on for two years, generously reported by media of all kinds, so the enablers knew exactly how the arms were to be used, as a tool for revenge, domination, and humiliation of the Palestinian people.  The conflict has ceased to be about the defense of anything for months.

The parties responsible have made a mockery of decency, morals, fairness, proportion, or justice, not to mention empathy.  Of what little there was, these concepts will be a lot longer to come back than they were to be struck down.  

Is it 1984 already?!?!

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

...

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
... Sorry Joe. =(

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
