In The Land Of Crazy: 25 Cool new tracks from the SoundCloud community

I have a new great-grandbaby, Ava, and maybe this will help her sleep on restless nights. Hopefully this gift will stand the test of time long after I'm gone.  I learned not long ago that my grandmother and great-grandmother were both accomplished pianists although I never got to hear them play. My mother played as well. after dinner my sisters and I often stood at the piano and sang while my mother played.  I'm guess that a piano was in the lives of generations further back. I never made a decision to play the piano, I just always knew I would.  Who will be next in my family to carry it on?

Time For Dreaming Baby Ava

The faceless, soulless capitalist cabal offers its sincerest condolences and apologies for monetizing life itself, but the apology is hollow and meaningless, falling upon decidedly unsympathetic ears.

How might it sound if our global corporate overlords offered their most lizard-heart-felt apologies for any "inconvenience" their greed and avarice have brought upon our lives? We think it might sound pretty insincere. You know, like a gaslighting apology: "We're sorry you feel that way." There may be an official apology "issued" but culpability is nowhere in sight.

This song started as an innocent and good natured attempt on our part to collaborate with Holy Shitshow @user-649412648 who provided the original piece months ago which inspired this whole crazy chain of events. 

Next thing we knew, it was this whole song and the raft had drifted pretty far away from collaboration island in the process. We still used the piece in the song, and we are grateful for HS to be a part of it in the end. We think it made for a great foundation and love the ambiance it provides to the whole song. Riunite on ice, that's nice!  https://youtu.be/_onOllDF2GY

We dig Holy Shitshow's music deeply, so please hear the original here and we hope you show some love their direction as well:

"A crazy dream" like that of imagining
that this new year will finally be the right one.
I remain a conscious optimism, and I send you
my positive vibes through this new song.
Happy New Year 2022 to all!

Un rêve fou comme celui d'imaginer
que cette nouvelle année sera enfin bonne.
Je reste un conscient-optimiste, et je vous envoie
mes ondes positives à travers cette nouvelle chanson.
Une excellente nouvelle année 2022 à tous!


---Like a crazy dream---

I feel my soul beat,
I feel my heart beat,
joy wins me,
now a light blinds me,
light of freedom,
she sets the tone,

like a crazy dream,
like a wave of love,
like a crazy dream,
like a cry of love...

Like a crazy dream

Best not dare go near your mind
you won't be held responsible
for the darkness that we may find
guess that makes you unsavable

Sway and swagger don't really matter
cause I believed in you

Something's cooking in your kitchen
I can taste and feel the heat
noise erupting plates go crashing
flooded water under your slippery feet

Immerse yourself in pityfull play
I don't understand you at all
guess youve always been that way
set up the height then nudge us to fall

Prim and proper don't really matter
cause I believed in you

Something's cooking in your kitchen
I can taste and feel the heat
noise erupting plates go crashing
flooded water under your slippery feet

Everything I said and done made no difference at all
All the things I tried to do, could not get through to you
you shut out the voices you'd hear
except for the ones in your head I tried my best.

Something's cooking in your kitchen
I can taste and feel the heat
noise erupting plates go crashing
flooded water under your slippery feet

somethings cooking

For harp, classical guitar, marimba, Bansuri flute, field recordings from the Jökulsárlón Galcier Lagoon, percussion and other virtual instruments.
The Jökulsárlón Galcier Lagoon is a large glacial lake in the southern part of Vatnajökull National Park, Iceland, that developed into a lake after the glacier started receding from the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.  The ice cap, a vast dome of ice, rises to a height of 3,000 ft (910 m).  The icebergs that calve from the glacier edge move towards the river mouth and get entrenched at the bottom. The movement of the icebergs fluctuates with the tide currents, as well as being affected by wind.  These icebergs are seen in two shades: milky white and bright blue, which depends on the air trapped within the ice and is an interplay of light and ice crystals.
