SoundCloud Weekly #2

I live in Montreal West and the radio station in my kitchen is tuned 24/7 to Radio Station K103.7 located on the Kahnawake Indian Reservation.  One day a song by Garland Jeffreys was playing and my poetic juices started flowing. This song was the end result. Hope you enjoy.


                                                  Dominique Is Stoned


                                                       
As Dominique looks out his window
a song comes on the radio
it’s Garland Jeffreys singing to some senorita
saying something about the CIA.
Well it’s three o’clock in the afternoon
and he’s trying to write a tune
about what the Master said
when He turned stones into bread.
But between the words and the smiles
tears flow every once in a while
for he knows that the Masters’ chains
are the slaves’ master - it’s all a game. 

And Dominique 
Dominique                                      
is stoned 
stoned 
stoned
stoned.

Dominique does his best to understand
why the dealers get the upper hand
but he knows that hope turns to crime
in the ghetto even the shadows rhyme
as the children play in the lions den
all in the name of money rubles and yen
and on Sunday it’s “In God We Trust
thank you Jesus for dying for us.”
But between the nightmares and the dreams
his hopes and schemes like diamonds gleam
for he knows that when push comes to shove
we all need someone to love.

And Dominique
is stoned  
stoned 
stoned
stoned. 

 
Dominique spends most his free time
trying to change water into wine
and watching the changes of the colours
he’d like to touch a guru - even a saviour
meet the King of Kings - the Queen of Queens
before the curtains draw the final scene
and the crowd yells crucify - crucify
another false one - he must die
but between the visions and burning bushes
uppers and downers and hip-hop rushes
he knows the day - the day will come
when everyone will touch The Sun.

And Dominique
Dominique 
is stoned
stoned 
stoned 
stoned
stoned
stoned.

Lyrics:

I'm moving right, Can't believe my eyes,
U said that I might want 2 identify!
I'm bordering 2 sympathise,
but nothin' in the world's gonna hide your lies!

Kickin' down the door's, knocking down the wall's,
ripping off the roof's gotta have some more,
but in your mind, U gotta hang me blind,
& trespass every soul I've grown up beside!

Body & Soul ruptures your bowl, 
but there's no profit to feed......those in need!
You're rolling your eyes, hiding your crimes,
but truth will hold U2 count, every time.

Relatively speaking, BlackhOle,
there's nothin' left to sell except the Soul!
Your need is so horrific, Bankroll,
& U won't B happy 'til U've got control!

Control, Control Control,
U put the Con in Control!

A nudibranch has antennae like ears of a rabbit. It crawls slowly and steadily on the bottom of the clear sea swaying its antenae.
Thank you.

This song is a spin-off from my song "GIN-PO - in the coral reef -". These two songs share some of the phrases.

Insomnia Serenata (Planes / Sotomayor)

Conover plays and sings this version

History from the Beatles Bible:
Written by: Lennon-McCartney
Recorded: 1, 4, 5 August 1969
Producer: George Martin
Engineers: Geoff Emerick, Phil McDonald

Released: 26 September 1969 (UK), 1 October 1969 (US)

John Lennon: vocals, lead guitar
Paul McCartney: vocals, bass
George Harrison: vocals, Moog synthesiser
George Martin: electric spinet Baldwin harpsichord

The final song to be recorded for Abbey Road was John Lennon's Because. The song was inspired by Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and featured The Beatles' distinctive three-part vocal harmonies.

Yoko Ono was a classically trained pianist whose interests had moved towards the avant garde. One day in 1969, however, she played Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor, Op. 27, No. 2 - the Moonlight Sonata.


Lying on their sofa listening, John Lennon asked her to play the chords backwards, and wrote Because around the result. While not an exact reversal of Beethoven's piece, it contains a number of musical similarities.
The lyrics speak for themselves; they're clear. No bullshit. No imagery, no obscure references.
John Lennon
All We Are Saying, David Sheff
The vocal harmonies are one of the most distinctive aspects of the much-admired Because. Lennon, McCartney and Harrison sang together, and overdubbed their voices twice more, giving the effect of nine voices.

John wrote this tune. The backing is a bit like Beethoven. And three-part harmony right throughout. Paul usually writes the sweeter tunes, and John writes the, sort of, more the rave-up things, or the freakier things. But John's getting to where he doesn't want to. He just wants to write twelve-bars. But you can't deny it, I think this is possibly my favourite one on the album. The lyrics are so simple. The harmony was pretty difficult to sing. We had to really learn it. But I think that's one of the tunes that will impress most people. It's really good.
George Harrison, 1969
The vocal harmonies, isolated from their instrumental backing, can be heard on both Anthology 3 and Love. The Love album, however, features the sound of birds twittering in the background.

I wouldn't mind betting Yoko was in on the writing of that, it's rather her kind of writing: wind, sky and earth are recurring, it's straight out of Grapefruit and John was heavily influenced by her at the time.
Paul McCartney
Many Years From Now, Barry Miles
The instrumentation on Because was simple, with arpeggio accompaniment on harpsichord, guitar and Moog. Paul McCartney later bought the electric harpsichord, played here by George Martin, when EMI were reducing their instrument collection; it remains in his recording studio.

In the studio

On Friday 1 August 1969 Lennon, McCartney and Martin taped 23 takes of the basic track, with Lennon on electric guitar and McCartney on bass. Ringo Starr added a basic hi-hat rhythm, but this was for guide purposes only and wasn't recorded.

Take 16 was the best of the 23 attempts. With the backing track in place, Lennon, McCartney and Harrison recorded the first of their harmony vocal tracks. Two more were added on 4 August.

A final overdub was recorded on 5 August, when George Harrison taped a Moog part - the first time the synthesiser was used on the Abbey Road recordings. Harrison recorded it twice, filling up the last two available tracks on the tape.


Ah, because the world is round
it turns me on
Because the world is round
Ah, because the wind is high
it blows my mind
Because the wind is high
Ah, love is old, love is new
Love is all, love is you
Because the sky is blue
it makes me cry
Because the sky is blue
Ah, ah, ah, ah

うつりゆく　願望 
やりすごす　平穏

つかんでは消える 
ふっと消える

ほどけない　混沌 
つかのまの　空想

吹かれては揺れる 
ふっと揺れる

こころない 
まやかしに 
向きあっている 
笑顔の記憶

なんの破片か 
判らないから 
こんな夜も 踏みつけて 歩く

やるせない 
偽りに 
向きあっている 
笑顔の記憶

なんの破片か 
判らないから 
こんな夜だって　踏みつけて 歩く

なんの破片か 
判らないから 
何の 痛みも おぼえない

Did you ever worry that once someone gets to know you maybe they won't like you anymore? Do you wear a disguise? Do you have a secret that you can't share?
Well, maybe that secret really isn't a problem after all..... 

You’ll always be my hero no matter where you go.
My undercover hero  - ‘ doesn’t matter what I know. 

Lyrics:
Say to me you want to tell a secret.
Say to you, “I’m big. The truth, I’ll handle it.”
Say to you it’s best  you open up to me.
Say to me you can’t give up your identity.

Now that I know what I know, I still feel the same about you.
Now that you know what you know, will you still feel the same about me? Wait and see.
So now I let go of the past and I wonder what’s in store. 
Well, I thought I’d feel the same but now I think I love you more - now that I know.

Say to me you’re undercover in the day.
Say , “I’m not a morning person anyway.”
Say to you, “ Your secrets always safe with me.”
Say you never interfere with destiny.              

Now that I know what I know, I still feel the same about you.
Now that you know what you know, will you still feel the same about me? Wait and see.
So now I let go of the past and I wonder what’s in store. 
Well, I thought I’d feel the same but now I think I love you more - now that I know.

You’ll always be my hero no matter where you go.
My undercover hero  - ‘ doesn’t matter what I know.   ….. what I know.

Now that I know what I know, I still feel the same about you.
Now that you know what you know, will you still feel the same about me? Wait and see.
So now I let go of the past and I wonder what’s in store. 
Well, I thought I’d feel the same but now I think I love you more - now that I know.

Bill's note:
Another happy, joyful song but maybe with a darker twist.
This one was fun. Will was able to play in a laid-back jazz club like style and Melissa got to add some Tenor Ukelele to the whole thing!
I hope that you enjoy this song as much as I do.

If you actually read this far then God bless you! You are very important to us!

Lyrics:

Did they have you feeling wrong
Feel like you don't belong
Everyday's that same ol song?

Or were you just confused
Perhaps you were abused
For reasons that you used

Those bruises on your arm
Obsessed with your self-harm
Takes cold out, feels real warm

....feels real warm

Passed...away today
Passed...away today

Watching you decline
Keep saying that you're fine
Such a long long friend of mine  x2

.....feels real warm

Passed...away today
Passed...away today

Still remember your suicide
you went away
should have stayed

Mitch had an idea and hummed it into the recorder before forgetting it.. which ended up becoming the vocal track in the song.

- One might still wonder, is he/she hiding from the wolves, or with the wolves.


A Great Big Thank You for the talented Tainted Icarus for the bass track. The first working version of this song that I sent to him was quite different than the one playing here. The inspiring bass track challenged me to work on this some big steps forward. Tip of the hat sir!

Enter the Wolves

Open the Door, Enter the Wolf
...

They can't see us
They can't hear us
They can't find us
They can't beat us

They are out there
They are in here

Hide under bed, cover your head
Lay still and don't breathe
All will be well, like they told you

Hide under bed, cover your head
Lay still and don't breathe
All will be well, like they told you

Raise your head, get up from the bed
Stand proud and take the hits
All will be well, like they wanted

All for them
All for them

Hide under bed, cover your head
They are out there
Hide under bed, cover your head
They are out there
Hide under bed, cover your head
They are out there

They can't see us
They can't hear us
They can't find us
They can't beat us

Enter the Wolves (Tainted Icarus Collaboration)

A song about how fragile our live is 

Reaching for silence
Noise sucks me in 
I want to break through these
I would
The meaning that fear paralyzes
And divides us in time

Hear the bells scream
The Howling
How Can't you See
That We're all the same?
Greed's dividing
You're lying
Sell all our bodies instead

And hear my last Whisper 
As Once written down
Want to stay sober
I Would 
The meaning that fear paralyzes 
And divides us in time
