Back Up Bands

And here is now my 2nd playlist, with selected SoundCloud music I encountered and enjoyed over the past month and a half. I hope you'll enjoy these beautiful and (somewhat) varied tracks too!

The cover photo for this playlist 2 was taken by me on 14 February 2023 on the snow-covered Yastrebetz ski-run on a sunny winter day high up at about 2000 metres in the Rila Mountains south of my native Sofia, Bulgaria - with the capital city hidden beyond and underneath the ring of clouds (as I took a day off of skiing with my nephew).

Duration: 1 hour 52 minutes (22 tracks)

WE'VE ALL MESSED ABOUT
MAY'BE BEEN THE FOOL
SOMETIMES TAKE A CHANCE
AND BREAK ALL THE RULES

TIMES  CHANGED SO FAST
JUST LIKE LIFE IT SELF
IN A BLINK OF AN EYE
THEN I SAW YOU

REMEMBER THE WAYS OF THOSE DAYS

I DON'T BELIVE IN MUCH
AND WHAT'S ABOVE
UNTILL THAT STAR
FELL UPON YOU
(chorus)
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE

SOMEDAY WE'LL BE GREY
ROCKING IN THE SHADE
LOVING EVERYDAY
I HOPE IT'S WITH YOU

LIFE IS FULL OF LUCK
THEN YOUR NUMBERS UP
DON'T WISH FOR MUCH
IF YOU HAVE LOVE
(chorus)
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE
I'M TAKEN TO THIS WORLD
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE

A STREET OF LIFE

A STREET OF LIFE (see info for video link)

The mysterious 'Cup and Rings' rock art created over 3,000 years ago in Europe have fascinated archeologists over many years. In 1981 an unusual specimen was uncovered in an urban woodland in the Yorkshire city of Sheffield which I make a point of visiting regularly. This neolithic masterpiece lies tucked away in Ecclesall Woods and is characterised by a variant of the usual concentric circles design, which gives a unique outline to its carving. This funkier version of Stone Age expression deserves a celebration in music which is attempted here....

LYRICS:
---------------------

Out on the street, people you'll never meet
Struggling just to survive
You wouldn't want to be them, pretend you don't see them,
Just roll up your windows and drive

But the ghosts are not dead, and they're not in your head
They're just waiting right there to be seen
There's no way of knowing and the rowers keep rowing
Going somewhere that you've never been

Whoa, weary walkers, may I lighten your load?
The night is so long and you're hearing my song
As you sleep at the side of the road
Whoa, weary walkers! How may I lighten your load?

The days turn to ash with no cars whizzing past
Where only the strangers belong
The desert is wide, and then once you're inside
You are hypnotized by its song

With a guitar to strum, the ghost sticks out its thumb
But it no longer hopes for a ride
Just shuffles along to the beat of the song
To lie down by the river side, dreaming....

Whoa, weary walkers, may I lighten your load?
The night is so long and you're hearing my song
As you sleep at the side of the road
Whoa, weary walkers! How may I lighten your load?

With silence to ponder it's hard not to wander 
Your mind becomes vacant and free
No matter the cost, all who wander are lost
Swallowed up by the sagebrush sea

Your forever host is the roadside ghost
And it's broadcasting now on the breeze
You'll see there's no choice, there is only the voice:
"Follow me, follow me, follow me....."

Singing
Whoa, weary walkers, may I lighten your load?
The night is so long and you're hearing my song
As you sleep at the side of the road
Whoa, weary walkers! How may I lighten your load?

The final frontier [watch the  video on youtube]

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.

Added to my album "Short Songs For Tall Minds"

Lyrics:
Don't get caught between the silence
And her deepest thoughts
Don't be walking those streets of her mind
Especially after dark
You'll get lost
Because she dabbles in my darkest arts
I'm crushing it
Just like a diamond
Her garden of vegetables and psilocybin
I couldn't help notice
From her full lotus
Whisper a mantra
That opens my brain
(never be the same)
She's having a last laugh on the universe
Breaking away
From the mainframe
You'll get lost
She a dabbler in my darkest arts
A breath of fresh air
You know it's everywhere
It's like walking out
Into unexpected rain
(Walks out of club into the rainy city)
Unexpected rain
(Exit: walking through the rainy city)
Like stepping out
Into unexpected rain
(Fade Out)

TurnYouOnLoveBomb

On a cool clear summer night
Someone said to me
Try a little of this my friend
And set your spirit free

Stopped and thought about it
For a second maybe two
And said ah what the hell now
What’ve I got to lose
And they said

Sit on back now and enjoy the show
Let me turn you

On… love bomb
Turn you on…
To loving
Yea

Break

You are the centre
The beginning and the end
This place in time will never be again
May you live forever in love

Break

Now I’m riding down the highway
Feeling oh so fine
And in part I owe it to the one that turned me on that time
So if you’re feeling lucky, keen to learn a thing or two
You know I’m more than happy to do the same for you

Just sit on back now and enjoy the show
Let me turn you

On… love bomb
Turn you on…
To loving
To loving

Well alright
You got it
Let’s go 
Now

Aux reflets de la pleine lune

We'd already begun composing and finalized production on this piece, when we drove past a sight that may trigger some; but, we feel gave us a message of the tenderness of life; and how quickly it can be gone. It perfectly suits the reason we created this song... to help those who may need a little Motivation to stop procrastinating. Some fear anything and everything; so, they continue to enroll in class after class, mentoring webinars and zooms, etc. one after another or stacking them simultaneously... not realizing... all of those are often an avoidance pattern from "taking the chance" of simply "putting ourselves 'out there'!" 

The sight we happened to drive past (trigger warning) was that of a deer that was evidently killed when a tree randomly came crashing down, in the mountainous woods along a highway, we drove along. This was very near where we ourselves had a tree that crashed onto the roadway literally four feet in front of our moving vehicle, back in 2014... that we were grateful came down exactly when it did... causing only around $8,000 worth of damage to our newly purchased vehicle, rather than killing us. People were calling us, back then, to see if we were okay and apologizing; but, we were explaining we were very BLESSED and Divinely protected (again) because a few seconds difference would have led us to have had the same fate... as this deer, who's time on earth had ended. 

Though this sight pierced our soul with such profound sadness; because of the spiritual significance of deer to our family, we knew this was a message we were to share, along with this song... Motivation. All things happen in Divine timing, for those who believe in the concept of Oneness. Not one thing or experience happens that doesn't in some way, shape, or form affect and ultimately effect another... for we are all one energy. It's up to us to BE or have the Motivation to stop BE-lieving we are "less than" or "not enough" or "ill-prepared," etc. We need to stop giving heed to the voices of those who had chosen or continue to choose to "confine their minds and their lives" to the limited 3D, archaic, patriarchal, control-mindset of the who, what, when, where, how, why, and to what extent we can, should, could, or would do things or BE... when we can see and feel the depths of how incorrect those concepts were and how detrimental they have been to our health, our families, our lives, and the lives of everything on this planet... at least they can be clearly seen and felt by those with open minds, hearts, souls, and body interconnectedness and Oneness.

The past is safe, it never changes
I like to live there, turning pages
But there is no before
And there is no after
There is only now
Pain and laughter
Reality cuts like a knife
It doesn’t care if you cry
I don’t want to live the wrong life, then die
Water, wind, earth and stone
Fire, feathers, fur and bone
I don’t want to live the wrong life, then die
I don’t want to live the wrong life, then die

I Don't Want To Live The Wrong Life Then Die

Shadows

I have always wanted to make a rap metal track with Heartscore so I was super excited when he reached out with this banging hip-hop metal fusion production. The lyrics are inspired behind the Hawaiian legend of Nanaue the Shark Man. I have some Hawaiian blood in me, so I figured I would rock it, lol! I am super blessed to still be working on music with my friend Heartscore. 

Massive thanks to Bitzone for coming through in the clutch with the dope vocal mix and final master. And huge thanks to Wou-Wou for the incredible song art making us look real stylish and professional!

Lyrics
Holy crap what is that growing on his back 
13 racks of teeth and I’m talking plaque 
Gaping wide open ready to snack 
Fish mouth on the prowl hidden under a wrap 
Musta known we were talkin’ smack 
We were all staring at him when he turned and glared back 
With those black mirror eyes 
Caught by surprise after many moons of lies
Horrors and cries rise to despise
It’s the demise of the shark man 

It’s the shark man

Say what he was cut from the cloth of a god
I swear there must have been lust in the brine and guts 
All up in that shapeshifters mind 
Yup, we all thought it was odd how he kept swimming back
As blood washed ashore he walked away from the gore
On that sea wrack 
Still thirsty for more flesh, meat, and albacore
Once he walked through that door he couldn’t forbore
The horror arise
It’s the demise of the shark man  

It’s the shark man

God damn, like spam, he devoured a man
Tore apart flesh like peeling back the lid of can
Never satiated since his first feast of ham, rack of lamb, and that stan favorite prickly pin clam
Ever since then his appetite grew he knew 
He couldn’t hold back desire when in that salty stew
True to his shapeshifting form 
He was born to find ecstasy when warm flesh eating transformed    
So we swarmed up on him on that afternoon
Harpoons flew through the skies 
Clubs fell till he died 
His body was tied 
Divided in pieces ’n 
Hung till it dried
Fired and fried 
It’s the demise of the shark man 

It’s the shark man

I Just wanted a get taste 
Na, I just wanted to be in the chase
Na, I just got the feel of the race
No stoppin’ until I get shit face
No stoppin’ until I’m laying in my waste
No stoppin’ until everyone’s disgraced  

It’s the shark man

First we gave you life, despite divine insight 
Again invite past blight, our name, the Gods will smite

It’s the shark man

And for that you still kill, we’re cursed until 
We split your gills and your blood is spilled

It’s the shark man

I’ve seen the depths 
I’ve swam the deep and sunk forever 
Each time I swim back to shallow shores I’m gonna drown
And when I see the light 
I seek shadows and sense the hunger
After seizing my fill I sink back up 
High in the depths 

From the frenzy comes
The shark man
Yea
When you smell blood
Here comes the shark man

How many times 
Been made to hide my teeth for your love 
How much can man be measured by his will to stand on ground
I’ve made my enemy my desire for the flesh 
Turned my back on my shiver I sink back up
High in the depths

From the frenzy of the kill
It’s the shark man
Yea
When you smell blood
It’s the shark man

Today is The Day

When I woke up today 
I had the guts to finally say
Told myself today was going to be the day

Wipe that smirk right off of your sleeve
Put on some ambition and try and believe
Deep down I knew it was up to me

There is no reason why I cant fly 
Just as high as the birds up in the sky
Making Honey out of other peoples Money 
Isn't all there is to me

I figured out its OK just to be me
I figured Out it's OK just to be me

No I don't want to live alone
Alone all by myself
There is too much to share with somebody else
So I give you my trust 
It's worth it
There is no doubt to me

When I come down alive
Through these crescent eyes of which I will carry
Knowing better now 
Direction is no longer blurry

With a smile I will look back at you
Holding back the laughter and the tears
There is no reason why I cant die now
No Failure, No Fortune , No Fears

Through the years, the smoke and the mirrors
There is no place I would rather be
It's because of you I found myself My dear

it's OK, It's All OK

Today's the Day

Lyrics:
the paper sun has gone down now
for shining eight miles away
no mad man's running through the fields now
no longer he lives for today

the purple haze has passed away now
and lucy's now a daughter of eve
the iron butterfly has vanished
so light my fire before we leave

come take my hand
we dive into the kaleidoscope
where green circles wait
watch me i am gonna fade away

a former psychedelic siren
now part of the music business scene
is casting spells only for money
 the white rabbits hide in lemon trees

come take my hand
we dive into the kaleidoscope
where green circles wait
watch me i am gonna fade

---------------------------------------

quotes / reminiscences (psych and garage rock bands and songs 1966 - 68)
in order of appearance in the lyrics:

traffic - paper sun
the byrds - eight miles high
dantalion's chariot - mad man's running through the field
the grass roots - let's live for today
jimi hendrix - purple haze
beatles - lucy in the sky with diamonds
the daughters of eve (us band)
iron butterfly (us band)
the doors - light my fire
kaleidoscope (uk band) 
small faces - green circles
the tide - psychedelic siren
ccr - i put a spell on you
jefferson airplane - white rabbit
the move - here we go round the lemon tree

Gone With The Flow

Kaleidoscope

Firstly on easy listening 6/4 bars, I cut some notes out of the main theme so as to give it dynamism, and finally obtained a prime amalgam of 17 quarter notes. I hid any recognizable thing in the accompaniment, and for the organic lines (voice and guitars) I tried the strong rhythm would not fix too much the melodies, first paying a lot of attention, and finally ... just letting me go.

Translated lyrics:

Oídos sordos (17 negras)  /  Deaf ears (17 quarter notes)

Quiero gritar todo lo que siento, estando solo;  /   I want to shout out everything I feel, being alone;
pero gritándolo al viento y si no contesta,  /  but shouting it at the wind and if it doesn’t answer,
dime, ¿de qué me sirve? (bis)  /  tell me, how does that help me? (bis)

Todos los vientos conocen mi historia  /  All the winds know my story
pero no hacen nada.  /  but they don’t do anything.
¿Será que no me oyen? (bis)  /  Perhaps they don’t hear me? (bis)

He estado aquí y allí gritando como un loco,  /  I’ve been here and there screaming like a madman,
pero todo sigue igual.  /  but it’s all the same.
¿Será que no me oyen? (bis)  /  Perhaps they don’t hear me? (bis)

Quiero gritar…  /  I want to shout out…

Ahora sé que no sirve de nada;  /  Now I know it’s no use;
el viento sois todos que callais al verme,  /  all of you are the wind, silent when you see me,
y dejáis que hable y hable,  /  and letting me speak and speak,
y dejáis que hable y hable y hable.  /  and letting me speak and speak and speak.

No creo que vuelva mañana  /  I don’t think I’ll be back tomorrow
a escuchar vuestro silencio.  /  to listen to your silence.
Quiero encontrar a alguien. (bis)  /  I want to find someone. (bis)

Quiero gritar…  /  I want to shout out…
