CANCIONES QUE HAY QUE ESCUCHAR-2

The Strums

Give me something infinite
Infinite is the universe as people say don't know
Infinite is our souls they say but where they go don't blow
Its not so complicated and think of it just twice
Once for your reality and once for your true eyes.
The history has proven it so there 's a being to live it
The future has predicted it so there 's a soul to keep it
This bring you to dimensioning of our eternal life
Just breath it and remember yeah you re not just here to die
After all its everything that's given out in faith
reality is infinite in this path most people hate
The game of god has silenced the truth is now endorsed
You know now dimensionless to kneel when you're outsourced.

GIVE ME SOMETHING INFINITE (Lyrics on Description)

Soft Rain  [Live] * Copyright SCRT Record Co.

The album's title track. This title of course refers to the new album and that I have set the bar a little higher for myself on it. I'll leave it up to you to judge whether this was successful LOL. But it's also about feeling good and happy. Sometimes you have one of those days when you get up and everything you do just works without putting in the effort. You then get a good feeling and the next action goes smoothly again. If you can hold on to that long enough you will get such an accumulation of positive vibes that at some point it will snowball and you will enter The Next Level. Everything then goes intuitively and in balance. This song is the happiest one of the album. Damn, I wish I had more days like that!

The Next Level

OH BABY * [Live[ Copyright SCRT Record CO. 2023

Don't Let It Pass You By, by Pok the Bard.
Album: Anthology

DON'T LET IT PASS YOU BY
Don’t let the times go slow Mama
Just let them ride on easy
It’s happening
It’s happening

Don’t let the blues fool you Mama
Just let them pass you by
That’s what they’re there for
That’s what they’re there for

Open up your heart and let it all go
Cos you know sometimes you just gotta let it all flow

And all those times there in your head
Was only there to compensate
All the while the way was waiting
You just had to grab a hold of the way
All today
Of the way
In that sway

And what is today is never tomorrow
And who is gone may only follow
Take hold of my hand til the morning comes
New dawn come when you wake up
When you wake up
When you wake up

Don’t let the times go slow Mama
Just let them ride on easy
It’s happening
It’s happening

Don’t let the blues fool you Mama
Just let them pass you by
That’s what they’re there for
That’s what they’re there for

Open up your heart and let it all go
Cos you know sometimes you just gotta let it all flow

And all those thoughts there in your brain
Was only there to compensate
Cos all the while the way was waiting
You just had to grab a hold of the way
Of today
Of the way
Caught In the sway

And what is today is never tomorrow
And who is gone may only follow
Take hold of my hand til the morning comes
New dawn comes when you wake up
When you wake up
When you wake up

Fun Facts:
* Don’t Let It Pass You By begins with a cute little instrumental in the key of A major.
* This section introduces the string section and keys, there are no drums.
* Pok plays a rhythm track on Marsha panned to the right throughout the song and a clean sounding lead track panned down the centre, also on Marsha.
* Fedax plays chords on the Ice Maiden panned left, and Maxx’s bass and Josh’s DSK B3x are also present.
* Fedax uses a patch on the Neural DSP Quad Cortex called Brit 2203, scene 1, and the Ice Maiden’s bridge pickup in humbucker configuration to conform with the original Laughing Sun interpretation.
* Once the intro is done, the key changes to E major and the feel becomes a hard blues rock vibe.
* The tempo for the song is 144 BPM, or allegro vivace.
* Don’t Let It Pass You By has a lyric that delivers a very strong and positive message.
* The whole song is upbeat and has a real feelgood factor about it.
* Don’t Let It Pass You By was composed by Pok in 1985 and the earliest version was performed by Laughing Sun.
* It was also performed by the Spacegoats during their brief Electric Elves incarnation, some of which you can hear in the Archives section of the Wud Records website.
* The synth that sounds a little like the EDP Wasp is the Kriminal Twilight synth, which is freeware, and you can learn more about it here: https://rekkerd.org/kriminal-releases-twilight-vsti/.
* There is also a pad called fullonpad from the Polly8te by Osiris, which you can find here: https://sites.google.com/site/osirissynths/Home/synth-page

Pok: Don't Let It Pass You By

A song I recorded back in late 2018/early 2019. Deleted for whatever reason. The section of intense vocals toward the end of this song I've used in another song called "Losing It" which I may re-record in the future. So be on the lookout for that familiar ending. Enjoy.

On the Raid

THE HARBOUR from Echoes from a distant Past

Immerse yourself in the hypnotic rhythms and atmospheric soundscapes of "Hide Away," a captivating melodic techno track by DJ EA. Featuring Rayne's ethereal vocals, this track takes listeners on a deep emotional journey, blending pulsating beats with lush melodic textures. The haunting vocal performance intertwines with the driving techno basslines, creating a perfect balance between intensity and serenity.

ENDLESS TIME

ENDLESS TIME - (see info for video link)

A melodic slow jam with Hard Rock and Metal feel and as an added bonus a smooth Slide guitar solo.

This song is about the choices we make to change in our lives and the struggles that come along with making those hard choices. It aims to encourage listeners to rise above those struggles to become the best version of themselves, just like the person in the song.

beautiful

don't let them have what's in your mind
they only want to take control of you
stand tall and leave the world behind

keep reaching out, no holding back
take control, take it all back

don't be afraid of what you are
you don't know, you don't know
you're beautiful

keep reaching out, no holding back, take control
don't be afraid, of what you are, you're beautiful

stand tall and leave the world behind
then you should how beautiful you are to me

you're beautiful!

keep reaching out, no holding back
take control, take it all back

don't be afraid of what you are
you don't know, you don't know
you're beautiful

“What you leave as a legacy is not what is etched in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.”

"So many who were remembered already forgotten, and those who remembered them long gone." 
— Marcus Aurelius (Roman emperor and a Stoic philosopher)

This reflection on the sobering fact that our time on earth for most of us will not impinge upon the memories or future historical knowledge of generations to come, was inspired by a chance remark by my grandson who described an old photo of his younger self as not looking like him at all, and that he suspected his parents had just hung up a photo on the wall of some random boy. He was speaking in jest of course, but what we say can have consequences, and this song is one!

Lyrics:
He was just a random boy in a picture on the wall
No one claimed to know him, or if he was real at all
He was just a random choice to put in that wooden frame
And one day he’ll be replaced by another with another no name

Oh, just a random boy! Just a random boy!
From here or some distant place
But maybe somewhere, maybe sometime
He was more than just a face

Will there ever be some random picture of me on somebody’s wall as well?
Will they dine & drink, make love, take drugs, while I stare, stare but never tell?
I have a name and I have a life, but if they should glance at me
They’ll think I’m just a random boy, there’ll be nothing, nothing else to see

Oh, just a random boy! Just a random boy!
From here or some distant place
But I know somewhere, I know sometime
I was more than just a …

(Random boy) Oblivious (A random boy) Indifferent
(Just a random boy) You stand in a world of your own
But the random boy staring back at you was cast . . .
in flesh and blood and bone ……
In flesh and blood and bone ……
In flesh and blood and ……

Funky Flow-IPG1 & Paploviante

Keeping with the Valentine's Day theme of love, here's an oldie but goldie I wrote this back in 1998, can you believe it, It's another song about my dream girl that I wouldn't meet for many year afterwards. I was divorced for about 2 years and pretty much feeling abandoned and lonely. I remember wanting to write a song in the same vein as "And I Love Her" by The Beatles. A very acoustic number with an accordion playing in the background, you know, very romantic like something you might hear in a Paris cafe! This was one of the first songs I did with Charlie, it wasn't recorded too well since I had an old Tascam 8-track analog recorder and it's distorted quite a bit but I think the melody and lyrics still hold up. (Mastering didn't help this song at all, sorry!) I don't know, let me know what you think in the comments. I've always liked the first line about wrapping myself inside her smile. I produced the video a few months ago for this Valentine's Day. I enjoyed putting it together and added like 10 quick snap shots of beautiful women taking selfies at the end of the video. I hope you guys enjoy it and Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! Ciao! 😎✌🏼

“HOW I LOVE HER”

IT’S JUST SOMETHING IN THE WAY SHE WEARS A SMILE,   
THAT MAKES ME WANT TO WRAP MYSELF INSIDE IT,   
NO MATTER HOW HARD I MIGHT TRY TO HIDE IT,   
HOW I LOVE HER,             
     
SIMPLY A SUBTLE SHIFT OF HER BEAUTIFUL EYES, 
MELTS AWAY ALL THE BITTERNESS WITHIN ME,   
AND EVERY TIME SHE TOUCHES ME, SHE WINS ME,  
HOW I LOVE HER,

I ADORE HER EVERY CULTIVATED GLANCE,       
AND EACH MOVEMENT THAT SHE MAKES IS LIKE A DANCE,
THERE’S NO WORDS TO EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE HER,       
I CAN NEVER SEEM TO GET ENOUGH OF HER,       
SHE’S MY DREAM COME TRUE, MY EVERYTHING,       
AND WITH EACH AND EVERY LOOK SHE MAKES MY SENSES SING,
     
EVERY TIME SHE KISSES ME, I’M IN HEAVEN,   
WHEN SHE’S IN MY ARMS MY WORRIES DISAPPEAR,          
MY LOVE FOR HER GROWS STRONGER WITH EACH YEAR,   
HOW I LOVE HER,      
          
I ADORE HER EVERY CULTIVATED GLANCE,        
AND EACH MOVEMENT THAT SHE MAKES IS LIKE A DANCE,
THERE’S NO WORDS TO EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE HER,         
I CAN NEVER SEEM TO GET ENOUGH OF HER,       
SHE’S MY DREAM COME TRUE, MY EVERYTHING,       
AND WITH EACH AND EVERY LOOK SHE MAKES MY SENSES SING,
     
EVERY TIME SHE KISSES ME, I’M IN HEAVEN,    
WHEN SHE’S IN MY ARMS MY WORRIES DISAPPEAR,           
MY LOVE FOR HER GROWS STRONGER WITH EACH YEAR,  
HOW I LOVE HER,   
HOW I LOVE HER,   
HOW I LOVE HER.

"HOW I LOVE HER" (Video - https://youtu.be/QQzTN6uuehM)

LYRICS
I dreamed someone was waiting
On the platform when I got there
I rubbed some dirt from off my shoes
Put a comb through my hair

But no welcome home
So good to see you again
And I was alone
In the rain

I looked around but nothing had changed
It was the same
No cheering crowds no shaken hands
No hero's back again

But no welcome home
So good to see you again
And I was alone
In the rain

Instrumental

But no welcome home
So good to see you again
And I was alone
In the rain

Outro

The Hero's Return

This is a song about treading new paths, and the footwear required :-)

Chorus:
Can´t find...can´t find new ways…
can´t find new ways in worn-out shoes…
Can´t break...can´t break new ground…
can´t break new ground in worn-out shoes...

Brand NEW track "Thought I Was Dreaming", taken from the "Ultraviolet Cosmos" upcoming full length STA album (2025). Enjoy y'all #share, #like, #follow and comment of course. :D

Youtube: https://youtu.be/5TOaRZxQbGs?si=tAH31Rz_1uPP6dEn

lyrics:
I've been dreaming for so long
and never woke up back to reality
i never thought it could take so long
to learn such a solid morality

Thought i was screaming, nightmares dreaming
and it's time not to hide away
It's time for breathing, 
forget about those golden years so fly away

And then i opened my eyes and realize
that neon lights blinded my side
and it's time to get up my feet again
and regain what's mine and never let it again.

(p) & (c) STA, 2025.

Thought I Was Dreaming

Timeline
(Verse 1)
Timeline
Can I solve the puzzle? Does the answer even exist?
Is it abstract in the making 
options, choices taken 
where’s the voices?
It’s a cruel game we’re playing, 
did we ever have a choice?
never had a choice is what I’m saying
I know, the question as well, as the answer 
in time we’ll all understand the meaning as well, 

(Chorus)
the only answer is, 
the truth is infinity, infinity is the truth, 
the answer is the question, 
and the question is the root
why so absolute 
not to mention a reason to be, 
existence is infinity, and the truth will set you free, 
never before, never before 
infinite, choices…The answer is …more!

(Verse 2)
What was done in the past
Effecting us now,
 we walk different timelines,  But they’re way ahead …how?
Time vibrates, like tectonic plates!
Given shape to our lifelines, final fate
What’s the cause of it all?
The crisis of it all,    The axis, recall
We exist,   one in all, One and all
Everything and everyone…

(Verse 3)
🎵In a constant state of time,
Doesn’t matter when or where, 
you’ve traveled the timeline, 
existence is existence,
And who are we to say,
What will happen in the future,
If we didn’t exist—- today 
…..in this timeline🎵

(Chorus)
(interlude)

Easy now, don't let our love go wrong
I'd never hurt you, or mean you any harm
Darling can't you see

I wouldn't want to lose your love
I wouldn't want to lose your love
I couldn't stand the pain
You know it'd drive me insane
Darling I need your love
And if tomorrow would be easier for you

And there's nothing that I can say or I can do
Darling, please come home, you know
I wouldn't want to lose your love

I wouldn't want to lose your love
I couldn't stand the pain
You know it'd drive me insane
Darling I need your love

You're tellin' me that I've been foolish this time
You're tellin' me that I don't know my own mind
But darling can't you see ya know 
 
I wouldn't want to lose your love
I wouldn't want to lose your love
I couldn't stand the pain
You know it'd drive me insane

Darling I need your love (love love love love.......)
Darling I need your love (love love love love.......)
