Duration: 5 min 11 s
Description: This is one of my first forays into what I might call "hybrid" recording, playing all the Guitars & Bass, then a few synth notes. I then meticulously programmed everything else with only a mouse. It was a lot of fun, especially the "Sax Solo".

Why does this You-n-I-verse allow the Best of Us to Age and Crumble when they have given us so much and asked for so little in return?

True Superheroes should live forever, g-dammit.

LYRICS

After the first, Scared shadow of a man
stares at me 
and says “I see myself, son’s eyes scream everything”

Then he says,

“Not so long ago, I’m in your place, 
glare at own dad’s face
and hear myself, Confused and questioning”

At what moment in the growing weight 
of a life does it break one’s back
at what point does one run away from the light
and pray to fade through to the black?

He struggles to explain, 
but thought and memory soar free 
from a plaintive self
the strain so deafening

In this fluorescent silence 
a gap of decades 
and five feet separate our selves
why can’t I say anything?

Awkward moments, statements slur together, 
can’t even sense if he is still himself
where is the one who for years kept us glued together?

Where is the father who raised us from the start
that Big Red lug who moved mountains 
with his superman heart
Where is that strength when he needs it to live
Why does world take from one who only knows how to give?

***

Second time worse, three days and nights in straps and drips, 
full-intubated self
scared, darting eyes that don’t see anything

At what moment in the growing weight 
of a life does it break one’s back
at what point does one run away from the light 
and pray to fade through to the black?

Where is the father who raised us from the start
that Big Red lug who moved mountains 
with his superman heart
where is that strength when he needs it the most
how do I stop a soul from leaving its fraying host?

Moving Mountains - The Two Attempts

Lyrics by FellPeez: https://soundcloud.com/fellpeepz

Look in the mirror,  my reflection
I'm going in the right direction
Any problems I ain't stressing
Still leave the house w protection

Yea,  Peepz and Funkman
These  are Jordan 4s,  not jump mans
Just coasting, on the ocean
Leave my footprints in the sand.

Man, it's a damn good feeling!
We all need a break, take time for healing
Spend time w the children
From floor to ceiling,  still building
Still ready and able,  still willing

Uhhhhhh,  beats I be killing
Seen people get rich and lose millions
Seen people fall off,  go to prison
They got lost and thrown off the mission

Soldier til the day I die.
Like 3.14 equals pi
Look up in the sky, watch the birds fly
Can't be afraid to fail, I gotta try

Look,  you should too, I'll be balling when I'm old like uncle Drew
Can't be timid, push it to the limit
Running outta time the beats only 2 minutes

Uhhhhhh!! Came back like swartzneggar
Discipline only makes the bag bigger
U can Be a loser or a winner
I kill the meat and bring home the dinner

Time to go, gotta kill the flow
Throw my boots on, walk out in the snow
Kill the music, shut off the lights
I hope you enjoyed the song......goodnight!


ESPAÑOL
míro en el espejo mi reflejo.
voy en la dirección correcta.
Sin problema que no estoy estresado.
Todavía salgo de la casa con protección.

Sí, Peepz y Funkman
son Jordan 4s, no Jump Mans.
Simplemente navegando en el océano.
Dejo mis huellas en la arena.

¡Hombre, es una maldita buena sensación!
Todos necesitamos un descanso, tómese un tiempo para sanar.
Pasar tiempo con los niños.
De piso a techo, todavía construyendo.
Aún listo y capaz, todavía dispuesto.

Uhhhhhh, latidos estoy matando.
He visto gente hacerse rica y perder millones.
He visto gente caerse, ir a prisión.
Se perdieron y fueron expulsados de la misión.

Soldado hasta el día de mi muerte.
Como 3.14 es igual a pi.
Mira hacia el cielo, mira a los pájaros volar.
No puedo tener miedo al fracaso, tengo que intentarlo.

Mira, tú también deberías, estaré bailando cuando sea viejo como el tío Drew.
No puede ser tímido, llevalo hasta el límite.
Se acaba el tiempo, solo son 2 minutos.

Uhhhhh!! Regresó como Schwarzenegger.
La disciplina solo hace que la botín sea más grande.
Puedes ser un perdedor o un ganador.
Mato la carne y traigo la cena a casa.

Es hora de irse, tengo que terminar el flow.
Ponerme las botas, salir a la nieve.
Corta la música, apaga las luces
Espero que hayas disfrutado la canción... ¡buenas noches!

Before I Say Good Night. ( Feat. FellPeepz ).

City Of Deception

I sent a Bm dub riddim to eddy and this is the happy result :)

Trg golobov

Lahko bi se imenoval Trg golobov,
ko tako sedijo simetrično razporejeni na drogovih luči, 
zajemajo vse sonce, ki se ga da dobiti. 
Ko se odločijo, razpotegnejo peresa v zrak 
in jim uspe tisto, o čemer mi samo sanjamo - nepadanje.


******************
Taubenplatz

Er könnte Taubenplatz genannt werden,
weil sie so symmetrisch angeordnet auf den Lampenstangen sitzen.
Sie schöpfen die ganze Sonne, die man kriegen kann.
Wenn sie sich entscheiden, strecken sie die Federn in die Luft 
und schaffen das, wovon wir nur träumen 
- das Nichtfallen.

Wörter: Manca Klun
Musik: Alessandro De Oliveira Bastos

nebulous forms sometimes take place and sometimes don't. these kind of forces are dependent upon other forces which indicate the correct passageways for the christening of ideas. such parabolas are not easily schematised and not easily abstracted from a larger collection of ideas and their genesis pool. the archways and other ornamental features are only conceivable as semi immaculate, which is a betrayal of their form in multi-dimensional phase space. 

Relm - incorrect cartomancy.

I am Not a traditional guitar player. I've never learned another player's work, preferring any repetition or homage to be completely subconscious at most. The same can be said with my keyboard work.

Due to the complexity of many arrangements, I use a LOT of Stereo Imaging. Therefore, I recommend listening in stereo, as things may sound a bit muddy.
