Good Luck

Ron Snyder - GOOD LUCK (original song)

My illusion, my mistake

Again I dwelled on dreams
And nothing ever turns out as it seemed at first -
like in a curse.
My heart was hungry and so I took the bait.
My illusion, my mistake.

Again I sat and grieved.
Your words had made a dreamer out of me,
I thought so foolishly.
I didn‘t think my heart was gonna break.
My illusion, my mistake.

It hurts when you know 
you have to let it go.
But you want the impossible to happen
Say it isn‘t so.
I don‘t want to let it go.
Don‘t tell me it‘s impossible...

All these words,
how they bleed 
onto the paper infront of me.
But they don’t express what I would like to say.
Unable to sleep, at night I lie awake.
My illusionn, my mistake. 

It sucks when you know
you need to let it go.
But you hope the impossible will happen
Say it isn‘t so.
I don‘t want to let it go.
Don‘t tell me it‘s impossible...

To some
chasing a dream 
might feel contemptible,
It may appear absurd
The most exciting tunes I know are 
melodies that I‘ve never heard.
Let‘s think we‘re growing wings
as we‘re falling from the sky like birds.
Unperturbed.
Superb. 

It still hurts,
It still bleeds,
And It doesn‘t seem to heal.
All my fantasies have turned into aches. 
No, no, no, no, no
I thought that our souls were bound by fate.
My illusiom, my mistake.

I Know It's Over

My Peace

Sometimes you go off the beaten path.

Mixed and Mastered by Jordan Rinella

Detour

Avevo 16 o 17 anni quando persi mio nonno. Fu la mia prima perdita, non sapevo ancora che significava ma quella notte scrissi di petto Cometa.
Le parole, una dopo l'altra, presero forma, la musica pure. Non ci furono ripensamenti o prove per trovare le giuste parole e la giusta musica; tutto uscì e basta. E quel giorno dal mio caos interiore nacque qualcosa di speciale. 
Nella produzione, niente è scelto a caso. La chitarra elettrica nel solo, doveva rispecchiare il mio stato d'animo, doveva essere fredda e graffiare l'anima, avvolgere e segnare un solco profondo, come quello lasciato da una persona a me cara. 


Testo

Adesso il giorno
Non sarà
Che il ricordo

Di una cometa che
Che cade
Continuando a splendere

Di una cometa che
Lascia la scia nel cielo

E ogni giorno
Alzerò lo sguardo al cielo
E sorriderò 

E ogni giorno
Alzerò lo sguardo al cielo
E saprò
Che tu sei lì
Pronto a vegliarmi

Cometa

"Atoms" 
The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara
Music Composition: Andrea Papi
Lyrics & Vocals: Daphne Ang
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"Atoms", tells the story of the creation of the universe to the fall of civilisation. It deals with the existential questions surrounding mankind’s purpose and place in the world. The lyrics combines original written material, with extracts adapted from religious and mythological texts (The Rigveda, The Bible, Corpus Hermeticum, The Mystery of Amergin), canonical texts such as Inferno by Dante, Phaedo by Plato, and the works of William Blake, William Morris and Ernst Niekisch.

Lyrics

In the beginning,
There was darkness 
A formless blackness,
Amorphous, atonal, discordant, disharmonious
The Prima Materia
A primordial pool of death decay, life and birth, 
Suspended in a timeless continuum, 
The spiralling substrate of the anonymous, the absolute 
For nothing came before the movement of God over these waters

Form and matter joined
A ray shines with no pause, 
From its coming to its being
Order was created, 
Order was constructed,
And in the purest of acts,
The summit of the universe was created

I am in heaven and on earth, 
In water and in the air,
I lead forth the roaring waters,
I am the wind that shapes the mountains,
I am both cloud and rain,
The wave of the ocean, the beam of the sun
I am the animals and the plants,
The babe in the womb,
The one born, and the one yet to be conceived
I am present, everywhere
I am the flesh and soul of man,
The Mother and the Father
I am the pain of the sick,
The heart of saints,
And the will of sinners

The machine is the achievement of which man is capable 
If he relies entirely on himself, 
God is no longer needed
Eventually, it transforms him into a machine himself

When nation grows old, 
The arts grow cold, 
And commerce settles on every tree

It is the enterprise of industrial civilisation that modern wars have arisen, 
And will arise
It is on the same impoverished soil, that empires have grown,
And by the same greed that many civilisations have been destroyed

The body, for the sake of which we desire wealth, 
Is the ultimate cause of all wars

If we are to progress, 
We must not cease from mental fight till we have built Jerusalem

I have no more faith than a grain of mustard seed in the future history of civilisation, 
Which i know now, is doomed to destruction
What a joy it is to think of!

O good beginning, to what vile ending must you fall!

And in the end, 
There was darkness
A formless blackness,
Amorphous, atonal, discordant, disharmonious 
The Negredo
Death decay, life and birth,
A timeless continuum

About The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara

The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara (TCOMAS) are a London-based duo comprising Andrea Papi and Daphne Ang. Coming together in early 2020 to record their debut album FULL SPECTRUM, the duo are fast establishing their niche in music as pioneers of a new form of expression, through the performance of poetry in music, and as an act that traverses between the wide-reaching spectrums of music. 
Drawing inspiration from TOOL and Kraftwerk, as well as the poetry of Sylvia Plath, Virginia Woolf, and Jim Morrison, TCOMAS brings literature, art, and history together into a space where rock and metal meets electronic.

"Lost In Time" was composed immediately after "Ignite The Spark". After listening to "Walk Away", I wanted to follow on from where that track left off. I felt the need to re-use the same synth sounds.

This track began it's life around August 2019. I didn't get round to recording bass until Boxing Day and it took until July 2020 before I recorded rhythm and lead guitar.

The clarinet bridge in this track I actually wrote when I was about 8! My uncle used to let me borrow is Casio keyboard. I had no idea about notes or music but I remember lying on the floor playing this little melody over and over again. Anyway.. it has finally made it into a tune 30 years later.

The mood of this tune reflects how I often feel.. Sometimes in this modern world of handheld devices and cold social ignorance, I long for the 80's where people had less to do and more time to spend with friends and family, technology was sparse and easier to fully comprehend. Some days I feel as though the world has left me behind and I'm lost in time..

Lost In Time

First song in collaboration with my fellow musician EileenNoise (@zipboy83)  who gave birth to this amazing base over which I slapped some lyrics

LYRICS
I don't need to beg

You think you can put me down and get the best of me

Look me in the eye and tell me what you see

Your mistake was to put me in a blindspot

So you aim to divide and conquer

Your power makes you the blindest, not the strongest

Your mistake was to think we're the weak ones

Feeding lies

Ruining lifes

We'll uprise from your blindspot

Koop Island Blues

A young beauty dressed all in white
Stormed out in the night 
She was cold and alone
Just trying to get home

Tragically struck by a hit and run
And left to die
(She's never coming home, she's all alone)
But this wouldn't be good-bye

She's coming back
She's a legend
Resurrection Mary

Wanders Archer, all up and down
She's wanting to be found
Grasping at the bars, she waits
Then disappears at the cemetery gates

She'll never rest in peace
They've moved her grave
(Her spirit's here, her body's gone, she can't move on)
They've disrupted her final resting place

She's coming back
She's a legend
Resurrection Mary

For those who've crossed her path
Her skin was cold
She whispered “Where I'm going, you can't follow.”

Like a hitcher late at night
The unsuspecting, stop to offer her a ride

Quiet and captivating, 
She asked for a ride
(A game she likes to play, she goes away)
Looking for someone to take her home

She's coming back
She's a legend
Resurrection Mary

Hardcore disbelievers change their minds
(Mary, Mary)
They have the power to turn back time

Moment of Impact

Let's face it, this has been a rough year. Here is a track that started as a jam track (and still kind of is) that became a blues song. Thanks to Aura for the awesome photos, one of which I used for the song art. If you can hang in for all 7 minutes, that is awesome! 3 humble recommendations for this song:

1. Lights down 
2. Volume up
3. Headphones on
:)


Composed, arranged, performed, and produced by:
Tyler Cressman 

Backup Vocals: Maynard Cressman

Instruments: Gibson Les Paul, Schecter Bass, Drum Machine, Organ, Steinway Piano, Tambourine, Martin Acoustic Guitar, Synth, and I think that is it. 
Here are the lyrics:

When I look at 2020 baby, I see one color. How bout you?
When I look at 2020 baby, I see one color. How bout you? What do you see?

When I look at 2020 baby, my eyes only see blue.
When I look at 2020 baby, my eyes only see blue.

Hear that 2021 train a' comin. Know exactly what I'm gonna do. Got a plan baby?
Hear that 2021 train a' comin. Know exactly what I'm gonna do.

Gonna snatch right up my ticket, might even get me two.
Gonna snatch right up my ticket, might even get me two.

Gonna paint you a picture baby, need one color.....it's blue.
Lemme get my brush! (Very Long solo lol)

Thanks for listening :)

After Thought

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

The toughest cages to break out of are often built by ourselves and entirely in our own minds.

BREAK OUT OF THIS CAGE

Break out of this cage
Why can’t I hold on to the bars
Is it all in my mind
The weight on my shoulders 

Better than that 
More than that
You deserve so much more
So much better than that

Round and round and round…..

Up and down
Round and round
Off the ground
I don’t want to hear a sound
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh….

Break out of this cage
Break out of this cage

Break out of this cage
Why can’t I hold on to the bars
Is it all in my mind
The weight on my shoulders 

Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh…..

Round and round and round…..

My future
Your future
Our future
It’s all in the past
It’s all in the past
Get off of this circular path

Break out of this cage
Break out of this cage  

Break out of this cage
Why can’t I hold on to the bars

Break Out Of This Cage
