I’m happy to announce the release of RockCounsellor’s latest song, ‘The Privilege’, produced in collaboration with Richard Campbell at Orpheus Studio, who once again has used his wizardry and made his magic, so I can so proudly release another song from my head out into the world. 

The song is about the privilege of experiencing someone else’s vulnerability. It’s inspired by the access my work gives me to people’s inner worlds, which are sometimes very much at odds with how they present themselves to the outside world.

When so many of us are isolated from direct contact with friends and relatives, being vulnerable and sharing our fears and anxieties with our loved-ones can be so helpful in coping with the uncertainty we are facing.

It can also be helpful to listen to music! 

Stay safe and well.

Thoby

The song features the fantastic musician @terrywigmore on cello. Thank you so much Terry for joining us here and for giving the song an extra dose of melancholic elegance. 

lyrics:

he has doubts. sometimes.
is she still here? always?
the daily grindstone sometimes thins the skin.
when you're back to back the ocean in her eyes can not be seen.
sometimes.

and then she says

i send you all my love
i send you all my love
you fool

she has doubts. sometimes she doesn't know him.
testiness and tiredness. the ocean in his eyes seems to be
not clear.

and then he says

i send you all my love
i send you all my love
you fool

i send you all my love

I start this new album with better sound by means of one of my more beloved and evolved songs ever, a structured piece with progressing parts.

LETRA   /   TRANSLATED LYRICS:

BIEN, MAL (LLUVIA VIEJA)    /   WELL, BADLY (OLD RAIN)

Sí, no, ¿por qué no?   /   Yes, no, why not? 
estoy pensando que esto no es lo mejor.   /   I am thinkinkg this is not the best.
Bien, mal, ¿tú qué tal?   /   Well, badly, what about you?
de repente me he puesto a pensar.   /   Suddenly I have started to think.

El tiempo esparcido entre mis amigos   /   Time scattered among my friends
 es el más valioso cuando estoy contigo.   /   is the most valuable one when I am with you
Los ratos vividos estando contigo   /   Moments lived being with you
 son reconfortantes cuando estoy perdido.   /   are comforting when I feel lost. 
Tengo que buscarlos entre mis amigos,   /   I must search for them among my friends
tengo que encontrarlos, pero ya se han ido todos.   /   I must find them, but they are all gone already.

Fumando   /   Smoking

mojados de lluvia vieja.   /   wet with old rain
Recuerdos   /   Memories
 que me llevan flotando   /   carry me floating
 a estar con ella.   /   to be with her

Tengo que buscarlos entre mis amigos.   /   I must search for them among my friends

A Saner World - Savages

Wake up and smell the coffee
It smells much better than the mess you've made
Games up you've been acknowledged
For all the damaging games you played

CHORUS
I can't forgive all the grief you caused
I can't forget how my whole life paused
But I can tell you now that I've sourced you from this Ouija board

You're dead but not forgotten
Well by most people but not by me
You can't wake, can't smell the coffee
I hope the floor you stand on is fiery

CHORUS

I look up to give a prayer
But I can't bring myself a single nice word
Anyway I really should look down
Because you're smouldering in the heat, I heard

If You Could Be Wrong by RockCounsellor

All songs on this self-titled album written by Jonas L. Cockson

Copyright 2020

"Make Like A Tree"

The past is crawling under my skin
Like black metal wires feeding with my flesh
Being and Nothingness
In the darkness of the universe.

With shiny unseen species of deadly butterflies
Take me back to the day I was a stranger to your lies.

Blindly yet awaken down on fascination street
Where birds are falling on the ground
In a joyful play of life and death
One after another
Dying and making no sound.

I'm a visionaire, I'm always visiting the same ruins
And they never change not even if it rains
Taller than me in concrete paralysis
In absolute stability defying mortality.

Monoliths of anger and sorrow
Chosen by no one
Living in the present like there's no tomorrow
I don't belong to anyone.

Being And Nothingness

Levitation

For the 31st Solar Kama Sutra song I decided to challenge myself a bit and do something in 7/4 time.  I tried remembering a band I heard do that and thought, "Isn't Pink Floyd's "Money" in 7/4 time?"  I remembered hearing it and thinking it was...

...  Turns out it is!  So for that reason I thought of Pink Floyd, and tried to do a Pink Floydish sound.    It's also a nod to Radiohead's "Pyramid Song".  I tried to capture the same feeling that song gives me, but with Solar Kama Sutra this time. 
(by the way, Solar Kama Sutra has always been just one person.  It's just the name for what I call the music)

Since Radiohead already used "Pyramid" which is well-known since ancient Egypt to be the coolest shape, I had to go with something else.  "Sphere Song" and "Cube Song" ?...  Well...  Those song titles just aren't gonna work....   Maybe "Dodecahedron Song"?....  Hmm... That actually sounds pretty catchy...  Feel free to use it!  

 My vocals are used more heavily on this track than it seems.  Throughout the track I tried to make my vocals sound like guitars and other instruments

  And definitely hats off to Pink Floyd for making a hit song in a 7/4 time signature.   How many times has that been done before?!

And of course, hats off to Stonehenge.  The ultimate inspiration for this track

lastly, much respect & love for all of you who have dropped by once again

RiverTown (Vox - Bass -Demo)

I dedicated the song "Monique" to two women: 
First of all to my grand aunt Monique, who was murdered as a Jew by the Nazis in Auschwitz. I know her only from photos and the anecdotes of my mother. Through her tragic life story, her unique face with the big, jet-black eyes, I still feel connected to her today. 
In this song I imagined meeting her shortly before her gassing in Auschwitz. How I accompanied her to the gas chambers, how we got to know each other a little before the inevitable happened.  
      
Secondly, this song is dedicated to another Monique. Her stage name was "Barbara" and she was a charismatic French chanson singer. What would I have given to be at one of her concerts. But when she had her big time, especially in the 1960s, I was still much too young. So all I have left are their Youtube videos, of which I would like to put a link here: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPPZMyMNQCM

Her face and her eyes, her charisma and expression remind me so much of my grand aunt.  Like her, she was a Jewish woman of French descent. And with songs like "Göttingen" she contributed significantly to an understanding between the Jews and the land of the perpetrators- Germany.  

Lyrics in English:

Monique

I visited you in Auschwitz, 
Cursed this freezing cold murder place

See you coming with the gas chamber train 
Only one photo at my place with your face

Your deep black eyes look at me
Already as a child they magically fascinated me

I go to you, take you in my arms 
In the coldness of killing we both get warm

We go together, you tell me about you 
Of your life, your joys, your pain

And you listen to me 
Get to know me briefly

The butchers, they wave
The shadows, they sink down

We both still have some time left 
The cruel suffering is already approaching

You show me the brooch in the photo 
You show me how you move your hands to play the piano

The time fold now pulls you away from me
There to the shameful brick building
I can only look after you
You disappear in there 

Gassed and burned
But unforgettably burned into my soul


Deutscher Originaltext:

Monique

Hab` Dich in Auschwitz besucht 
Diesen eiskalten Mord-Ort verflucht

Seh` Dich da kommen, mit dem Gaskammer-Zug 
Nur ein Foto bei mir mit Deinem Gesicht

Deine tiefschwarzen Augen schaun` mich an
Schon als Kind zogen sie mich magisch in den Bann

Ich geh` zu Dir hin, nehm` Dich in den Arm 
In der Kälte des Mordens wird uns beiden warm

Wir gehen zusammen, Du erzählst mir von Dir 
Von Deinem Leben, Deinen Freuden, Deinem Schmerz

Und Du hörst mir zu. Lernst mich kurz kennen

Die Schlächter, sie winken
Die Schatten, sie senken sich ab

Noch haben wir beide etwas Zeit 
Heran rückt schon das grausame Leid

Du zeigst mir die Brosche, die auf dem Foto trägst 
Du zeigst mir wie Du Deine Hände zum Klavierspiel bewegst

Die Zeitfalte zieht Dich nun fort von mir
Dorthin zu dem Schand-Backsteinbau
Ich kann Dir nur nachsehen
Du verschwindest dort drin 

Vergast und verbrannt
Doch unvergeßlich in meine Seele eingebrannt

Monique

Greatest Hits

Ima Hogg

Beaten down by the coffin in the way
Butterfly drifting through the day
Never know how ever long its been
Colored in the lines and then begin
A tour that’s been called off for a while
Measuring the curtains without style
The forest leads you on and then turns grey
Better light the fire if you stay
And hours start to slip into the days
And you grew callous in your own malaise
Like no else mattered  so  depraved
Suck it up until you go away

So, you had to call it off
So, you had to call it off

========== Lyrics ==========
In time you come to wait
No pressure down inside
For the gypsy has long time fled
Only fragments stir the mind

Woah, don't you feel it coming
Don't you feel it coming
Here it comes a calling tonight, yeah
Here it comes a calling, and you flinch back like a child

Now down the line, you've erased
Where the rules were never learned
But the senses they rise so fine
And flood your heart again
And you said that you never knew the rhymes
Of the words that were bled
And the codes, they ran out and died
In the caverns of your head

Ohh, don't you feel it coming, don't you feel it coming, don't you feel it coming tonight, yeah
Here it comes a calling, and you flinch back like a child, yeah
Swamping you with all its might, yeah
Feel it coming, swamping you tonight, tonight, tonight
Feel it near tonight....

Ohhh....the morning light
Ohhh...come inside, come inside, yeah,yeah

Woah, don't you feel it coming etc etc etc......

Feel It Coming

Feel It Coming (with Lizzie Taypen)

When Joey wrote out his Christmas list
Many years before The Ramones existed
He made a wish and to his surprise
Santa Claus appeared before his eyes

CHORUS
And Joey he went Hey! Hey! Hey!
And Santa Claus went Ho Ho Ho
And Joey gave out a Hey! Hey! Hey!
And both of them sang Hey Ho! Let's Go
It's Christmas
It's Christmas time

A leather jacket and some drain pipe jeans
Were on the list as well as other things
Santa had a sherry and Joey a mince pie
They rocked some Christmas carols well into the night

CHORUS

Joey unwrapped a mean pair of shades
The same pair that he wore for decades
One too many sherrys Santa's drunk as a skunk
Joey is a kid and Santa is a punk

CHORUS

When Joey Met Santa (Hey Ho!  Its Christmas)

Verse 1
wanna walk forever

to the rivers edge
see what we can do

you must be strong
to carry on
doing what you do
oh yeah
doing what you do

verse 2
crazy days and crazy nights
it's who we are
you know we'll make it through
nothing lasts forever
we'll carry on
doing what we do

refrain
you must be strong
to carry on
doing what you do
oh yeah
doing what you do

Verse 3
wanna walk forever
in a day
walk right next to you
wanna take it down
to the rivers edge
see what we can do

refrain
you must be strong
to carry on
doing what you do
oh yeah
doing what you do

Outro
you must be strong
you must be strong....

Walk forever

It's all about nature. Water, a lake, living in a cottage in the delta, where everything flows - time to think and feel, what's really important.
