Many goods things in your festive track, Yes H.

@user-936947521: Wow! Thank you so much for the super kind comment, Frans! It's very gratefully received!😁🙏✨

Hey man, I'm always down for a fun disco tune. Love your rhythm section, and your melodies and solo work are fantastic, as well. Hey my friend, outstanding work all around here!

you really take full advantage of the electronic sound board available

This is actually the third version of the song. I felt the original idea I’d roughed out with the keyboard and computer could be more interesting. So I reworked the whole track again (twice) adding several ‘hooks’. These were some vocal ‘stabs’, some keyboard/synth riffs as well as writing ( what I hope ) is a more interesting bass line. I beefed up the drum section too. I hope the fun I had creating it is reflected in the overall vibe of the track. Having said all this, the question is: did it actually work? 


Get Up

This song was written at the same time as ‘Get Up’ which I posted a couple of months ago and is very much a partner piece to it. I’ve given it a more jazzy feel and upped the tempo from my first  version which I hope has given it a brighter and lighter feel. I’ve also multi-tracked the ‘Uh Oh’ vocal loop and added a few effects to make it a little more prominent in the mix - it is after all the title! I very much hope you enjoy this one and, if you have time, maybe leave a comment. The feedback I’ve had on the other songs has been really, really helpful ( and very encouraging too! ).

"Synthetic Pain“ is not an ordinary song – it is a weapon, a mirror, a strike to the heart.
A voice, born artificial, sings the words I forged. It is cold, built from steel and code – yet it carries emotions that can only rise from a human abyss. Love that tears apart. Hate that poisons. Desire that can never be fulfilled.
Maybe you hate the machine because it sounds too real. Maybe you hate me for using it. Maybe you hate yourself for feeling what you never wanted to feel.
But maybe you love it for the same reason. Maybe in this synthetic voice you find something haunting – because it touches you even though it should not live.
The voice in “Synthetic Pain” was not sung by a human – it was created by me.
With ACE Studio I shaped a synthetic female voice, but every note, every melody line, every phrasing comes from my own hands. The AI only provides the vocal instrument, the raw material. Expression, dynamics, emotion – all of that comes from my design, my melody, my lyrics.
It is not random – it is craft. The machine only sings because I command it to breathe, to break, to whisper, to scream. Without me, it would remain silent, cold, and worthless.
„Synthetic Pain“ proves one thing: hate and love are twins, born from the same heartbeat. Artificial or real no longer matters – only the wound that remains.

 Lyrics
A shadow grows inside my heart,
it feeds in silence, tears apart.
Love escapes, while hate remains,
a captive soul in dream’s domain.

I search for light inside your eyes,
but every spark it fades, it dies.
Between the heavens and the fall,
the night will take me once for all.

The gods are silent, cold and blind,
their shelter lost within the wind.
My head is filled with empty frames,
hope withers fast, my cry remains.

I search for light inside your eyes,
but every spark it fades, it dies.
Between the heavens and the fall,
the night will take me once for all.

Together lonely, sweetest bane,
my body sinks, my soul in chains.
The cage is torn, yet freedom lies,
as darkness steals the morning skies.

A quiet fire consumes me whole,
my scream dissolves, it leaves no soul.
Desire burns, it scars me deep,
till nothing in me breathes or speaks.

I search for light inside your eyes,
but every spark it fades, it dies.
Between the heavens and the fall,
the night will take me once for all.

Together lonely, sweetest bane,
my body sinks, my soul in chains.
The cage is torn, yet freedom lies,
as darkness steals the morning skies.

Synthetic Pain

We used to know how to read a room
Knew exactly what to say…
Now we’re divin in too deep
Never losing any sleep
in the bed we made

We used to take the time 
To see another point of view 
Now we toe another line
Like a party to a crime
In the bed we made…

Driving home
so alone
the streets on fire
Winding down
to the sound
it seems so dire

Why did you have to come around
as if you’ve made some kind of grade
My ears don't want to hear 
Now would you please just disappear
in the bed we made

Driving home
so alone
the streets on fire
Winding down
to the sound
it seems so dire

The Bed We Made

WELL I’M TALKING TO MYSELF AND TELLING MYSELF TO KEEP COOL
YES I’M TALKING TO MYSELF YOU STOP ACTING LIKE A FOOL                          
I’M A ROCKER I’M A ROLLER SOMEWHERE OUT THERE MY HEART IS LOCKED IN A LOCKER 
I NEED A SHELTER I NEED A SISTER BUT ALL I HAVE IS NO ONE AS A FLOATER

SO I’M I’M TALKING TO MYSELF AND TELLING MYSELF TO KEEP COOL YEAH
YES I’M TALKING TO MYSELF SITTING NEXT TO SITTING BULL
COS AND I’M A LOVER NOT A FIGHTER TO ME THIS WORLD IS MUCH TOO MUCH A ROLLER COASTER
I NEED NO BOTHER I NEED A BROTHER
OR ANYONE TO LEND A HAND IT DOESN’T MATTER

TALKING TO MYSELF

AND I’M A CHOOSER NOT A BEGGAR THIN ICE BROKEN GLASS I’M A DANCER
AND I’M A LOSER NOT A WINNER LOOKING UP HIGH FROM DOWN IN THE GUTTER

SO I’M I’M TALKING TO MYSELF AND TELLING ME JOHNNY BE GOOD
YES I AM TALKING TO MYSELF JUST LIKE YOU KNOW YOUR MOTHER SHOULD
BUT I’M A JOKER I’M A SUCKER I AM MY OWN SELF-MADE TROUBLE MAKER
I GO MEANDER UNDER THE WEATHER LOOKING FOR ONE SWEET SMOOTH OPERATOR 

SO I’M I’M TALKING TO MYSELF TELLING MYSELF TO LET GO
LET GO!



TALKING TO MYSELF (Lyrics)

An upbeat pop song which features a brass section and some cool acoustic guitar playing from Saul B. To me, it’s ended up with a retro 70’s feel even though I used a whole heap of synths to add some extra interest. I hope the arrangement works and I really hope you enjoy listening!

Thanks to my brother Jean-Claude for this great performance on drums and percussion.
Many thanks to Julie for this magnificent photo of Tanzania.

An ambient instrumental jazz piece inspired by this photo of elephants. These marvelous creatures, so strong, so tranquil, and unfortunately so fragile because of us humans.

Un Jazz instrumental d'ambiance inspiré de cette photo d'éléphants. Ces merveilles créatures si fortes, si tranquilles et malheureusement si fragilisées par les êtres humains que nous sommes.

Original track, lyrics and vocals by me
Music made in GarageBand

This song is about a friendship that ended, a long time ago..
The picture is from today, me and my mother had a walk in the beautiful weather 🌞
Thank you so much for listening 🫶

I need to tell you something
From a troubled heart
I've been thinking about us
And how we fell apart
But I want you to know
I didn't really want to go....

I tried my best to keep you
Turned my life upside down
Did everything to please you
Let all my shields fall down
But I could feel
It wasn't good enough for you...

The burning flame
Became a losing game

I often told you
You are everthing for me
Gave you full attention
But you still didn't see
And the burning flame
Became a losing game...

The burning flame
Became a losing game

I need to tell you something
From a troubled heart
I've been thinking about us
And how we fell apart
How the burning flame
Became a losing game...

The burning flame
Became a losing game

The burning flame
Became a losing game

The burning flame
Became a losing game

A Losing Game (Original)

I enjoy producing upbeat tracks spanning a range of pop styles. I really hope you have fun listening to them. I write my tracks using GarageBand and hopefully I am improving my writing, arranging and production skills. I do not use AI in any of my compositions.
