WINTER SUPER SONGS!

Winter 2024

The order of the tracks has no deeper meaning. The list grows as I find the best tracks of the entire SoundCloud space and is purely subjective.

After Midnight. Still Playing.

My old friend Strootman Pianomonster (will post soon on https://soundcloud.com/stroot-246138153) sent me some of his baroque recordings on harpsichord. I've worked on one of them with all the Ruizzoid stuff you can hear, and even translated to Latin one of my old poems!

VOLO OSCULUM TUUM  /  I WANT YOUR KISS

 Volo saxum ad clamare.  /  I want a rock to cry on.  
 Ad gemere, quis saxum.  /  To moan, any rock.  

(Volo osculum tuum ad somniare.  /  I want your kiss to dream.  
 Ad vivere, nisi osculum tuum.  /  For living, just your kiss.)
  
Volo flammam ad queri.  /  I want a flame to scream.  
 Ad pati, quis flammam.  /  To suffer, any flame.  

(Volo osculum tuum…  /  I want your kiss... ) 

 Volo pugionem ad exspirare.  /  I want a dagger to expire.  
 Ad mori quis pugionem.  /  To die, any dagger.  

(Volo osculum tuum…  /  I want your kiss... )

Volo Osculum Tuum (with Strootman on harpsichord)

11 weeks furloughed, during the pandemic of 2020… was starting to feel a bit knackered… poured my energy into writing and recording, exercising and trying to find out what the heck was happening 😎

■概要(Overview)
あっ！魔女がほうきの上に乗ってバランスを取りながら飛んでいる！
・・そう、今日は100年に一度の魔女のお祭りで、世界中の魔女が飛び回ります。
魔女が夜空のトライアングルを鳴らすと、星がキラキラとさらに綺麗に輝きます。
・・・そんな感じの曲です。
2023年最後の曲です。今年も皆様、ありがとうございました！
これに懲りず(笑)、どうぞ来年もよろしくお願いいたします！

■Overview
Ah! A witch is flying while balancing on a broom!
...That's right, today is the witch festival that happens once every 100 years, and witches from all over the world are flying around.
When the witch rings the triangle in the night sky, the stars sparkle and shine even more beautifully.
...That's the kind of song it is.
This is the last song of 2023. Thank you everyone again this year!
Don't get discouraged by this (lol), we hope to see you again next year!

■歌詞
今夜はお祭り　金星を祝う
誰もが見上げ　驚いている

夜空のトライアングル　鳴らして飛ぶ
誰の上にも　星たちが降るの
穂先がリズムをとりだしたら
お祭りは最高潮に盛り上がるのよ

夜の間中　街を照らす
動物たちも楽しそうに見ているわ

伝えたいことが　ある人の
想いが　伝わる夜

■Lyrics
Tonight is a festival celebrating Venus
Everyone looks up and is surprised

Fly while making the triangle sound in the night sky
Stars will fall on everyone
When the broom tip picks up a rhythm
The festival is at its peak

illuminate the city throughout the night
The animals also seem to enjoy it.
A night where the feelings of those who have something to convey are conveyed.

Winter Song

All rights reserved December 5, 2023
Music composed and performed by Todd Brown

Life, drives you to the ground
Kicks you when you’re down
Wants to wear your crown

Love, comes as no surprise
Right before your eyes
With truth instead of lies

Stop explaining
Days are waning
Then you realize
That it’s your time to fly

We have travelled through this life 
Through the tears and strife
To the other side

Dreams, elude us when we sleep
And rivers run so deep
The secrets they will keep

Lives are taken
Plans, forsaken
Then you realize
That it’s your time to fly..

It may be we’ll never understand
Building castles in the sea and sand…

Love, comes as a surprise
Right between the eyes

For the Love of Life

LYRICS
--------------------------
A secret knock, a hidden door, a narrow hallway
The eyeless guide sees us inside, watching us always
As we meander down the aisles, 
Rows of spines which stretch for miles
And we show our special card
On the scent of another shard

A vaulted dome, a musty tome, an umbrous alcove
A sacred space, a quiet place, a sunken treasure trove
Details infinitesimal
Dewiest of decimals
Ever stranger truth to know
As we squish the forbidden fruit between our toes

A deeper shaft, an ancient craft, a garish goblin
The icy stare, the purple hair, a memory maudlin
Going deep down in the mines
With a shining pick to grind
The librarian lights the way
Understands the game we play

A puzzle piece, a glob of grease, a rusted lever
A blazing fire, we never tire, we nurse our fever
Run our fingers down the crease
Gently comb the golden fleece
Read aloud the sacred scroll
Let's show these muggles how we roll

They cant stand you, they want to ban you
They want to sterilize and pack you up and can you
They prefer truth that's mass produced
Because they're lacking the tenacity to grasp you
So let me ask you: what's the bigger threat?
While we're waiiting on a bomb you haven't dropped yet
They'd rather burn you then have to learn you
Their little fingers are too slippery to turn you
The truth waits for us to dissect it
And librarians are here to protect it
So grab some glasses if you need
And climb atop the worlds' mightiest steed
We're gonna read until our fingers bleed
It's a seed, it's a need, it's an urge you gotta heed
It's a growl in your stomach that you know you gotta feed
Let's show 'em how to read!

Thank you for listening!

This is a remake and improvement of my original song entitled "You Are All That I See" from about a year prior https://on.soundcloud.com/TBKWW
 
Giornata Piovosa a Pescara - Rainy Day In Pescara

Submit the willow
To the path
The field embraces
A subtle laugh
The grey cries on the barley

To fit the gaze
And not to have
The old grey heron
enjoys his bath
She stares outside the window

The rain
It releases me
Of all my cares
So near to me

Italian...
Invia il salice
Al sentiero
Il campo abbraccia
Una risata sottile
Il grigio piange sull'orzo

Per adattarsi allo sguardo
E non avere
Il vecchio airone cenerino
si gode il bagno
Lei guarda fuori dalla finestra

La pioggia
Mi libera
Di tutte le mie preoccupazioni
Così vicino a me

Giornata Piovosa a Pescara - Rainy Day In Pescara

A guitar and voice demo of a song that I hope to record soon. The song is about a long-distance love.

Written by Stefano Manotti


LYRICS

I have never touched you

But you're still here

Our lives are stuck 

Words disappear



I have never kissed you 

I never will

I see your picture 

I Fall asleep



But you still guide me

Between the bars

You say “you are stronger 

Than you think you are”

 

Your words are far away

We fly and fall like rain

My lover, I feel no pain

My lover, I see your name



And I’m so scared 

To hear your voice 

But I’m prepared 

To leave this void 



You understand 

You see beyond 

Why did it take you so long





But you still guide me

Between the bars

You say “you are stronger 

Than you think you are”





Your words are far away

We fly and fall like rain

My lover, I feel no pain

My lover, I see your name

WRETCHED BEGGAR

Ooooo….
Ooooo….

I don’t want you
I don’t need you
Why don’t you 
Why won’t you
Why can’t you
Get out of my way 
It’s my way

All you do
When I’m in your arms
All you do 
To twist and turn me
All you do
To look the other way
Alll you do
To ignore me

I should leave you
I can’t bear you
Why don’t I
Why won’t I
Why can’t I
Get out of my way 
Gotta be one day

A little devil in my mind
Poking me with his red hot trident
White smile on his face
I feed him 
I feed him
That fat little bastard
I’m gonna get the wretched beggar

All I do
To forget myself
All I do
To erase myself
Never do
Anything I used to
Never do
Anything I want to

Better for you
Better for me
I think we
I believe we
I hope we
Get out of my way 
Never better than today

Everything’s connected
But nothing’s working
Times running out
And death sits there smirking
Do you remember that night?
Wrapped in chains
Voices near us
Drowning out
Everything I could say
Creating turmoil
Creating chaos inside of me
It’s driving me crazy
Everything’s connected
But nothing’s working
When I’ve just shut my eyes
Wake me
Ready to rise
Crystal clear
Ready to fly
Everything’s connected
But nothing’s working
Times running out
And death sits there smirking
If everything’s connected
Why isn’t anything working
Times running out
And death just sits there smirking

Night Out

Hush my little darling - don’t you cry
watch the sky 
stars so bright 
the beauty of the night
Sandman made a dream for you
I wish it will come true
blessings, fortunes, hope and hugs
the best of dreams filled with love 

Hush my little darling dont you cry
dream sweet dreams  
Wave the day goodbye
Morning  breaks
Darkness fades away 
You’ll play
sun or rain
come what may. 

Evening stars spread the light 
a diamond in the night 
A nightbirds sings her lovely tune
it’s time to wake the sleepy moon

Hush my little darling dont you cry
dream sweet dreams  
Wave the day goodbye 
Morning  breaks
Darkness fades away 
You’ll play
sun or rain
come what may. 

Hush my little darling dont you cry
dream sweet dreams  
wave the day goodbye

Hush

Marco Lucchi & *idematoa* - Esatonale

Evocative song to listen to without hurry... most serious job I've done lately, say no more.

Letra / Translated lyrics:

SI TÚ ME FALTARAS  /  IF I MISSED YOU

Abre tu risa mis ojos,  /  Your laugh opens my eyes,
olor a café por la mañana…  /  smell of coffee in the morning…
Para murmurarte un beso  /  So as to whisper you a kiss
me levanto de la cama.  /  I get up from the bed.

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

Me despierta muy temprano  /  Wakes me up very early
el olor de tu cuerpo a mi lado.  /  the smell of your body beside me.
Para que se haga de noche pronto  /  So that it gets dark soon
rápidamente me he levantado.  /  I have got up fast.

Siento que mi vida se desliza por el sabor tan suave de tu cuello y de tus besos.  /
I feel my life slips along such a soft flavor of your neck and your kisses.

Puedo ser ligero como el aire y filtrarme con mi fuego en tus sueños y en tus deseos.  /
I can be as light as air and percolate with my fire into your dreams and your desires.

Busco el momento cada día de volver para gozarte, para olerte, para amarte…  /
I look for the moment every day to come back so as to enjoy you, to smell you, to love you … 

para amarte, sí, aaaay! para amarte.  /  to love you, yes, aaaay! to love you.

Juega tu lengua en mi cerebro,  /  Your tonge plays in my brain,
recorren mi espalda tus caricias.  /  your caresses cross my back.
Miro el reloj y suspiro,  /  I look at the clock and sigh,
deseando que acabe el día.  /  wishing the day to finish. 

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.
