Shock the Algorithm

(No GenAI involved : my voice + Vst instruments)
I release this song during a musical challenge at LZMP (a community of musicians)
Let's rock
(Traduit plus bas)
-----
I kept my mouth shut down
I played the game too long
What the hell they think they are
Holy talk and shining stars

I watched them, broken arms
Just smiles and plastic charms
What they built is upon my own fear
It’s time to scream, let's make it clear !

I'm gonna stop the show
Or they will never know
I am not a toy i'm a gun
It's my time to have a bit of fun 

Who makes you feel so bad
Who makes you feel sad
Who makes you feel mad

We live in toxic worlds
With bunch of crazy lords
Should we bow, should we just obey
We'd better burn their mask today!

Their unabashed opinions
Nauseating dominions
Feeding hate on every stage
They are so good at that : breeding the rage 

Who makes you feel so bad
Who makes you feel sad
Who makes you feel mad

So spit back what they preach
Out of reach, out of leash
I don’t need a cage or throne
Queen bee, look at me, I'm not yours to own

I'm gonna stop the show
Or they will never know
I am not a toy i'm a gun
It's my time to have a bit of fun

Who makes you feel so bad
Who makes you feel sad
Who makes you feel mad

Who makes you feel so bad
Who makes you feel sad
Who makes you feel mad

-----
J'ai fermé ma gueule
J'ai joué le jeu trop longtemps
Qu'est-ce qu'ils pensent être
Des paroles saintes et des étoiles brillantes

Je les ai regardés, bras cassés
Juste des sourires et des breloques en plastique
Ce qu'ils ont construit, c'est sur ma propre peur
Il est temps de crier, soyons clairs !

Je vais arrêter le spectacle
Ou ils ne sauront jamais
Je ne suis pas un jouet, je suis une arme
C'est mon heure de m'amuser un peu

Qui vous fait vous sentir si mal
Qui vous fait vous sentir triste
Qui vous fait vous sentir fou

Nous vivons dans des mondes toxiques
Avec une bande de seigneurs fous
Devons-nous nous incliner, devons-nous simplement obéir
Nous ferions mieux de brûler leur masque aujourd'hui !

Leurs opinions décomplexées
Dominations nauséabondes
Nourrir la haine sur toutes les scènes
Ils sont si bons à cela : faire naître la rage

Qui vous fait vous sentir si mal
Qui vous fait vous sentir triste
Qui vous fait vous sentir fou

Alors crachez ce qu'ils prêchent
Hors de portée, hors de laisse
Je n'ai pas besoin de cage ou de trône
Reine des abeilles, regardes-moi, je ne t'appartiens pas

Je vais arrêter le spectacle
Ou ils ne sauront jamais
Je ne suis pas un jouet, je suis une arme
C'est mon moment de m'amuser un peu

Qui vous fait vous sentir si mal
Qui vous fait vous sentir triste
Qui vous fait vous sentir fou

Qui vous fait vous sentir si mal
Qui vous fait vous sentir triste
Qui vous fait vous sentir fou


Who makes you feel bad ?

So nice that my longtime collaborator friend @dough-factory has returned to SoundCloud after a break of a couple years! This is our first track working together since then and it came together in a really cool way. I was inspired by Ryan's electronic drums and bass to lay down some rhythm guitar as well as a few synth leads. Then he came up with some awesome lyrics/vocals that I think captures the vibe of this piece quite well.

Keep an eye out for more from us, we are thinking of pulling together a whole album or EP over the coming months.

Carl from the Beautiful dark wrote a song today titled "Baldy Patty" and  it inspired me to write my own personal a song about baldness.  I started to lose my hair in my early twenties, and for awhile it bothered me and then one day, I decided to shave my head and I have never looked back. And now so many years have passed that I have been bald longer than I had hair.

My hair’s falling out and I don’t know what to do.
My hair’s falling out, and I’m singing this song to you.

I’ve got hair on my fingers; I’ve got hair on my neck.  
I’ve got on my toes, I’ve got hair on my chest.  
But the one place I want it, it keeps falling out.  
My hair’s falling out and I don’t know what to do.

I shaved my head until the top of my skull was shiny
And I know it’s counterintuitive but I’m no longer bald and whiny.
When you’re young, you assume that you’ll always have hair
And then when you start to lose it, you think it’s not fair
Sampson in the bible when he lost his hair, he became so weak
But that guy on the bottle of mister clean is definitely no geek

I’ve got hair on my fingers; I’ve got hair on my neck.  
I’ve got hair on my toes; I’ve got hair on my chest.  
But where it’s missing on the top of my head, I no longer care one bit.
Because now when it comes to baldness, I don’t give a shit

My Hair's Falling Out

This Empty World 

It is hard to escape the unrest in the world at the moment, horrific picture of  starving children, millions dying in wars, Psychopaths running countries and threatening nuclear war if they don’t get what they want. Very frightening times. 

All of this is having a profound effect on me and I am sure on a lot of normal people and I wonder, do these So called leaders have any idea of the effect all of these bombs going off and exhaust from tanks and jets is having on our Atmosphere ? what would happen to humanity if they actually did press that Nuclear button?  Armageddon would be released followed by disease and mother earth would fight back. 

With this as a mental backdrop, I had an idea for a song about the last human being left alive on Earth after such an event. There would have to be a “ Last man standing “  A bitter sweet experience to have survived nuclear wars, pandemic after pandemic and the death of life on the planet but to be All alone in this empty world. I had the music but not the lyrics. I sent off what I had to my Friend and musical collaborator Finn Eces and what you are about to hear is the amazing result.

Thank you Finn for the Lyrics, such top class vocals and harmonies and a Class mix and professional Production .

This Empty World 

In the stone dead mist there stands the world's last man 
In his stone cold fist holds the world’s last plan 
Now the skies don’t speak  and silent oceans wreak 
not another soul to seek in this empty world 

In this empty world, This empty world  

In the silent streets was heard, a weak heartbeat 
Will our own disease be our last defeat ? 
Mother earth is ill  and her breath grows still 
Just one more grave to fill this empty world 

This empty world
This empty world  

Chorus
Is there anyone here to remember me ? 
Is there anyone here to recall ? 
Does anyone see ? 
Does anyone hear ? 
I don’t what to the be the last 

This empty world,
this empty world  
In this Empty World, 
this Empty World


Chorus
Is there anyone here to remember me ? 
Is there anyone here to recall ? 
Does anyone live ? 
Does anyone breath ? 
Lights went out and now the darkness reigns 
In this empty world in this empty world

LA RISA QUE YA NO ESTA

Siempre es asi,vas bajando
A pudrirte con los gusanos 
Esas cosas hoy no son en vano 
El sueño es un sueño amargo...

Ese reproche volvio a tu lugar
Y lo cambia hasta temblar 
Cabalga en la noche lunática 
La risa que ya no está 

La lluvia llegó para mojarnos 
Espero que no nos parta un rayo 
Las noches son cómo un milagro 
Nos llevarán sin pedir algo a cambio..

Ese reproche volvio a tu lugar 
Y lo cambia hasta temblar 
Cabalga en la noche lunática 
La risa que ya no está

LA RISA QUE YA NO ESTA

This is another cover of an oldies tune, 'Another Saturday Night*', written by the great Sam Cooke (he wrote the song while staying in a hotel where no female guests were allowed). But this version is a cover of another cover - Cat Steven's version of the song. Cat's version is more upbeat, with a bit of a Latin feel to it. Being a fan of both versions, I threw in a sample of Cooke's original at the very end, and the voices from the studio recording at the very beginning, including a count off by Cooke himself, just for fun. I REALLY enjoyed doing this one, and hope it shows in the recording. Thanks for listening.

All instruments played by me on keyboard:
-organ
-acoustic guitar
-flute
-trumpets
-alto & tenor sax
-piano
-bass
-percussion
-drums
-lead & backing vocals

*Song written by Sam Cooke

Oh Baby I Need You (Open collaboration offer Paploviante)

     Howdy everyone and I hope everyone had a great Labor Day, without laboring of course!😂 This is another of my instrumentals, which actually had lyrics but the vocals were not recorded too well so I made it into an instrumental. It's about having that Las Vegas experience which I'm sure nobody can afford anymore with this economy unless you're a billionaire! I've been to Vegas many times and most times I've lost, hence the title "Lost Wages"! I'm not a gambler, so when I lose a couple of hundred dollars I start sweating profusely!!😂 It's a fast paced song and I played like a boogie-woogie synthesizer on it and a rock guitar. Charlie played a groovy harmonica on it too! I've decided to drop an instrumental and a cover song every month from now on besides my normal songs and videos. The video is the high-light so please check it out on YouTube.

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/DwZ-ISbz2g0

     The video was a lot of fun to put together and it's all about Las Vegas, the gambling, the show girls, the drinking, the excesses, pretty decadent stuff! There's is a lot of eye-candy here for the grown-ups to enjoy! It drops tomorrow on YouTube! The original song with lyrics was called "My Neck Of The Woods" so if Charlie and I rerecord the vocals, I'll make a video of it as well. I hope everyone enjoys this song and video and remember, don't gamble unless you can afford to lose a ton of money and are rich because it is an addiction! Last time we went to Las Vegas, back before the pandemic, it was for about a week and all we saw were the shows and never gambled, that was my favorite trip because I didn't lose a dime! But guess what? We're going back to Las Vegas in December 2025 to watch the new "Wizard Of Oz" spectacular in The Sphere! Check out the clips on YouTube, it's really mind-blowing! No gambling!! Take care and good luck! 😎✌🏼

"LOST WAGES" (Inst) [Video - https://youtu.be/DwZ-ISbz2g0]

Forever

Si les plus beaux paysages sont au-dessus de la ligne d’horizon chaque continent a son génie du ciel ....  Le ciel change chaque jour et imprime d’imperceptibles nuances grâce à ses nuages aux mille et une forme. Tout ciel nuageux en forme de gaze longiforme donnent cette « mélancolique lessive d’or du couchant » dont parlait si bien Rimbaud .... La fin d'été approche et nous pouvons observer maintenant un ciel plein de gros nuages blancs et aux nuances de gris, bourgeonnants, rembourrés, cotonneux, mais aussi lumineux comme des lampes au reflets lactescent …. 
J'ai essayé d'être représentatif de ce phénomène avec les nuances harmoniques de ce concept ….

**************************************************************************************************************************
 
If the most beautiful landscapes are above the horizon line each continent has its genius in the sky .... The sky changes every day and prints imperceptible nuances thanks to its clouds with a thousand and one shape. All cloudy sky in the shape of a long gauze give this "melancholic laundry of the sunset" of which Rimbaud spoke so well .... The end of summer is approaching and we can now observe a sky full of large white clouds and shades of gray, budding, padded, cottony, but also luminous like lamps with lactscent reflections …. I tried to be representative of this phenomenon with the harmonic nuances of this concept .... 

Towards The Clouds ....

PIPI DANS LE JARDIN
UN CHIEN QUI ABOIE AU LOIN
LA LUNE POUR TÉMOIN PAS MOINS
MOI JE FAIS PIPI DANS LE JARDIN

PIPI DANS LE JARDIN
DEPUIS QUE TOUT GAMIN
MAMAN M’A DIT PIPI AU LIT C’EST PAS BIEN
MOI JE FAIS PIPI DANS LE JARDIN

PIPI DANS LE JARDIN
ARROSER LA ROSÉE DU MATIN
JE SAIS ÇA PISSE PAS LOIN
MAIS C’EST BON PIPI DANS LE JARDIN

PIPI DANS LE JARDIN
JE N’IRAI PAS PLUS LOIN
CAR ICI COMMENCE LE DÉBUT DE LA FIN
LES HUILES SONT AU PARFUM
LE MONDE SENT LE SAPIN
ET PUISQU’ON N’Y PEUT RIEN DE RIEN
MOI JE FAIS PIPI DANS LE JARDIN

PIPI DANS LE JARDIN (Lyrics)

"You Moved On" is the moment where denial finally fades and acceptance hits, slowly, painfully. It’s not just about anger anymore, but also the quiet collapse that follows.
Built around deep, clean guitars and a low, moody synth, the song drifts between nostalgia and resentment until everything erupts in the bridge  a wall of distorted guitars, synths and pianos.

It’s one of the most emotional songs I’ve made. 

lyrics:

Your cherry hair still burns my eyes,
That scent still hides behind my lies.
I see your ghost in every glow,
Another face I’ll never know.

You left your shape inside my bed,
Now all I kiss is what you said.
The screen lights up, but its not your name in there
I hate this quiet, I hate this motherfucking game.

I’m ready now, I swear I am,
To hold you right, to be your man.
But someone else is touching you,
The thought alone cuts straight in two.

Their hands go where I used to dream to touch anyday,
My skin still burns, I want to scream i want to faint.
These new girls stare, but I just fade away from them
Their warmth feels cold, my love has decayed today.

Why did I waste all this time?
You could’ve stayed, I could’ve tried,
Now love just rots inside!
And I hate the way I feel,
So fake, so fucking unreal!
No one will ever be
Half of what you were to me!
