Soulful Seed

Source of Joy (Original Mix)

PICK ME UP
BEFORE I LET YOU DOWN
GIDDY UP
COS I’M THE HELL OF A ROAN
HELL OF A CLOWN

I DON’T KNOW WHERE I BELONG
SOMEWHERE DO I HAVE A HOME
IF YOU TRY TO TIE ME DOWN
THEN YOU’LL SEE ME GONE

FALL ME UP
OR FLY ME TO THE GROUND
HURRY UP 
BEFORE I’M NOWHERE TO BE FOUND

I HEARD THAT YOUR BIRD HAS FLOWN
AT THE VERY EDGE OF DAWN
NOW REGRETS CUT YOU THROUGH THE BONE
BUT WHAT ELSE COULD BE DONE

START ME UP BEFORE YOU BREAK ME DOWN
CHECK ME UP AMONG THE LOST AND FOUND 

I DON’T KNOW WHERE WE BELONG
WE THE PEOPLE ON THE ROAM
SOMEDAY WILL WE HAVE A HOME
OR ARE WE ALWAYS TO BE BLOWN AWAY

SHUT ME UP SO I CAN YELL NO SOUND

AND IT’S MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY
MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY
MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY
ANYWAY RIGHT HERE WE’RE SUCH A LONG LONG WAY 
FROM ANYWHERE ANYWHERE
MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY

MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY  (Lyrics)

cloudcation longer than expected or wanted
catching-up
be good / wicked, responsibly, to suit

Rencontre entre deux "moments" pour n'en former qu'un. De l'harmonie et de la dissonance, la musique est un reflet fugace de la vie comme un passage furieux ou apaisé, cette force irrépressible qui renverse, qui bouscule nos merveilleuses existences comme un éternel recommencement.
Merci infiniment à Rosmarino de m'avoir permis d'emprunter un "moment", ce chemin là.

Un Momento - Rosmarino Baia - Jacques Lemaire

Years have passed and I will never forget my one regret. A friend of mine jumped off of the Tobin Bridge in Boston because of the pressure his family put on him to send money back to them in his native country - They should all be crucified. This is my recollection. I should have been there for him that day - instead I was looking to be seen "AGAIN" - always craved attention... Full lyrics below
"
who was I to you guess I was just a ghost reached out to everyone and played the clown but it turned out you needed me the most I wish i never ever let you down - but I was just a kid and i was oh so blind blinded by the selfishness that swallowed up my time craving the attention I missed out on as a child and made you feel alone that day in your darkest hour please forgive me cause I cant forgive myself so many days go by when I wish I was someone else I was just a kid wasn't there for you I know it wasn't what I did it was what I didn't do.
Was in the lunchroom making a cup of Joe - when you walked in trying to compose yourself - I felt like there was something I should know - but i bit my tongue cause I didn't want to pry - saw it in your eyes you were alone but carried on as if I didn't care truth was I was having a bad day consumed with all the problems of my own - but I was just a kid and I was oh so blind blinded by the selfishness that swallowed up my time craving the attention I missed out on as a child and made you feel alone that day in your darkest hour please forgive me cause I cant forgive myself so many days go by when I wish I was someone else I was just a kid wasn't there for you I know it wasn't what I did it was what I didn't do.
The next morning state police had questioned me they said that you had jumped the night before and even though they placed no blame on me - my aura showed that I was ugly
but I was just a kid and I was oh so blind blinded by the selfishness that swallowed up my time craving the attention I missed out on as a child and made you feel alone that day in your darkest hour please forgive me cause I cant forgive myself so many days go by when I wish I was someone else I was just a kid wasn't there for you I know it wasn't what I did it was what I didn't do.
please forgive me cause I cant forgive myself so many days go by when I wish I was someone else I was just a kid wasn't there for you I know it wasn't what I did it was what I didn't d----

One regret (for Diego)

Ummm yeah, well these things just kinda take a life of their own.  This started out life as an innocent funk bass riff. More apocalyptic existential panic with a dash of Jansenism thrown in.

Save Me

you know I wonder how to fill out the days 
as I schedule my life in reverse
I'm highly aware of my failings 
and not sure if that's a blessing or curse

we're given the gift of this life
and still we find ourselves maligned
awash in a violent tide
how can this be

we're given the gift of this life
and turn away to choose the darkest side
is that all we see

save me from myself just one more time

toxic repercussions keep having their way
I mean like who knew 
as if the actions of today 
come back tomorrow looking for you

you start to feel like the world is unwinding
right before your eyes

and the way the tide is shifting
you're gonna need a place to run and hide

I knew a girl from another time in my life
she used to wake up and drink herself back to sleep at night
we showed each other just how low we both could climb
last I heard she's still alive 

won't you save me from myself just one more time

I wanna be free of the memories
of the worst of the human race right there living inside of me
I wanna believe that irrestible grace is coming after me
even if it wants my life

out there on the streets tonight 
so many souls are yearning for the light
how to win day from night
will we ever
I don't know what's there inside God's mind

how many times must we fall

This is the last track of Fluff's third album 'Down the Rabbit Hole'. https://open.spotify.com/album/4Iq21rBQvgXesED9Hv8GEc 
'Exit' confronts us with the sad reality, that we can't stop destroying our world, despite loving it and holding it dear. We know what we're doing, but we are too comfortable and selfish to change our ways. We just silently let it happen.

C'EST LA NUIT

C'est la nuit
Sait-on où l'on vit
Ce monde qu'on détruit
Par la mort sur la vie
Sans vouloir y penser
Ne faisant qu'oublier
Ce qu'on nous a donné
Et se disant en nous
Ira t-il juste qu'au bout
Cet homme est un fou
Que sera notre terre
En vivant cette misère
Les horreurs de la guerre
Une méchante maladie
Cet homme est ainsi.

C'est la nuit
La tristesse aussi
De celle qu'on maudit
Pour ces morts d'aujourd'hui
Que l'on va regretter
Restant dans nos pensées
Dans nos cœurs si marqués
Sentiments de dégoûts
N'en voyant pas le bout
En nous détruisant tout
Parlant de nucléaire
Promettant le calvaire
Allons nous le laisser faire
L'écrasant dans l'oubli
Si même je me dis.

C'est la nuit 
Trop noire c'est ainsi
Marquée de tragédie
Emprise de tyrannie
Avec un homme damner
Qui ne veut justifier
 Sa non fraternité
Ne laissons pas surtout
Ce débile de Moscou
En le battant d'un coup
Retrouvant la lumière
En sortant de l'enfer
Essuyant nos paupières
Des pleurs de cette folie
J'ai toujours dans l'esprit.

C'est la nuit
Sera t'elle finie
C'est la nuit, c'est la nuit
Nous faisant du soucis
Espérant en rêver
Dans nos cœurs de pensées
Se sentant fatigué
Restons bien debout
 Le mettant à genoux
Souhaitant qu'il échoue
Qu'l'espérance nous libère
D'ce débile incendiaire
Saurons nous bien le faire
Le détruisant aussi
Qu'enfin on revit.

C'est la nuit
Elle n'est pas finie
Notre peur aussi
Par un sale abruti
C'est la nuit
C'est la nuit

IT'S NIGHT

It's night
Do we know where we live
This world that we are destroying
By death over life
Without wanting to think about it
Just forgetting
What we were given
And saying within us
Will he only go to the end?
This man is crazy
What will our land be?
Living this misery
The horrors of war
A nasty disease
This man is like that.

It's night
Sadness too
Of the one we curse
For these dead today
That we will regret
Staying in our thoughts
In our hearts so marked
Feelings of disgust
Not seeing the end
By destroying everything
Speaking of nuclear
Promising calvary
Are we going to let it happen?
Crushing him into oblivion
If I even tell myself.

It's night
Too black that's how it is
Marked with tragedy
Grip of tyranny
With a damned man
Who doesn't want to justify
 His non-fraternity
Above all, let us not let
This moron from Moscow
By beating him with one blow
Finding the light
Coming out of hell
Wiping our eyelids
Cries of this madness
I always have it on my mind.

It's night
Will it be finished?
It's night, it's night
Making us worry
Hoping to dream of it
In our hearts of thoughts
Feeling tired
Let's stay upright
 Bringing him to his knees
Wishing it would fail
May hope free us
Of this incendiary moron
Will we be able to do it well?
Destroying him too
That we finally live again.

It's night
It's not finished
Our fear too
By a dirty idiot
It's night
It's night

Above Dreams

Above Dreams (DEMO)

Gary, of Mountain Songs (https://soundcloud.com/mountain-songs)
contacted me about 2 years ago and offered me a baseline stem from an Alpha Roots collaboration he was working on with Joerxworx. About 2 years ago, that is crazy! I, of course, said I would take the stem. I needed to finish some other songs that were in the works before getting to play with Alpha Roots’s baseline. By the time I was ready to connect with the vibe, Russia had invaded Ukraine, unfathomable tragedy had begun, and the world was changing again. My song writing reflected the horror of what was going on. By the time all the stems were gathered, vocals were recorded, and the song was mixed and mastered, another war had broken out and the horror continued. 

Massive thanks to Mountain Songs for  trusting me with these blessed Alpha Roots stems. So glad Jamie, Jonathan, Joerxworx, and Russ got a chance to work with Alpha Roots again. Alpha Roots lives on. 

And the song is ready just in time for Halloween!

Lyrics: 

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep, right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari caught cha sleepin’
Day dreamin’ though you woke
Never thought what you were thinkin’
Now you only speakin’ what he spoke

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in 
Break in
Fillin’ ‘em with dread ya

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari gonna open
The coffin where you’ll rest
On his order you awaken
Now you answerin’ without questionin’ his behest 

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari caught cha sleepin’
Day dreamin’ though you woke
In the shadows see you creeping
His knife hidden inside his cloak 

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in 
Break in
It all turning red now

Somnambulist Break In

Rodolfo https://soundcloud.com/rplanes gave me this piece and title to write a lyric around. I was drawn to man's not unnatural obsession with the cosmos from the earliest days, through using it to navigate the world and gain power, to now potentially using it as a last ditch escape from our polluted and depleted home. I particularly enjoyed this song as I get to sing in Spanish and also a good proportion of this song is instrumental. So sit back and let this journey wash over you. Many thanks to Rodolfo for all his great work and a special thanks to you for listening. Mark

Southern Star by Rodolfo Planes and Mark J Bennett

It’s written in the stars,
When seen from Earth,
Venus… even Mars.
Whatever it’s worth.

The Southern Star 
The Southern Star 

Is that ‘Pie in the Sky’? 
Take the bait,
Maybe just a lie,
Trust in fate?

The Southern Star 
The Southern Star 

Estrella del sur
Estrella del sur
Estrella del sur
Es la clave,
Del rumbo del destino
Del rumbo del destino.
(Southern star, it's the key from the course of destiny)

Man’s knowledge and skill,
Charts land and sea.
In order to fulfil,
Destiny			
 
The Southern Star 
The Southern Star 

Celestial sphere,
Obscured now by,				
Tears and fear.
The end is nigh.		

The Southern Star 
The Southern Star 

Estrella del sur
Estrella del sur
Estrella del sur
Sin la clave,
Nos niega el destino
El curso del…
El curso del	destino
(Southern star, without the key, fate denies us the course of destiny)

 
Need and hunger, 
Has our innocence
Rent asunder, 
By its wickedness
 
The Southern Star 
The Southern Star 

Escape to stars.
Throw right off of your
Shackles and bars.
We need to endure.

The Southern Star

Sin la clave,
Nos niega el destino
El curso del…

Southern Star - Continental Collision (Rodolfo Planes/Mark J Bennett)

There are forests on Earth that endure extreme winters, places where temperatures can reach up to -40/-50C.
They are called Taiga 
Plants and animals go into hibernation hoping they have stored enought nutrients to survive another extreme seasson.
A once thriving forest full of beauty, sounds and colours turn in to a deadly , almost lifeless , colourless and soundless frozen desert.
Life`s clock seems to slow down to a halt while hours turn to days , days turn to weeks and weeks turn to months.
Until the first sun rays strong enough to stop the ice and snow`s  deadly grip ,appear..
Like an explosion...Life`s clock speeds up while the forest heart beats faster and faster, the forest is awaking along with its inhabitants..
Spring returns ...Life begins ....again...

Taiga

Recalling some tequila, love words and more with them in that Ibiza bar, I wondered: “What if Pink Floyd met the spirit of Camarón de la Isla… in my bedroom?” I used lots of guitars, basses, etc. on a 12/8 beat, to enclose 3/4, 6/4 & 8/8 rhythms along.

Letra / Translated Lyrics: EL POZO DE TU AMOR  /  THE WELL OF YOUR LOVE

Fui a abrir el grifo, estaba sediento,  /  I turned on the tap, I was thirsty,
fui a abrir el grifo de tu amor.  /  I turned on the tap of your love.
Fui a abrir el grifo, necesitaba hacerlo,  /  I turned on the tap, I needed to do it,
fui a abrir el grifo de tu amor.  /  I turned on the tap of your love.
Necesitaba un trago de tu amor,  /  I needed a drink of your love,
necesitaba el grifo de tu amor.  /  I needed the trap of your love.

Fui a bajar al pozo, me estaba muriendo,  /  I was going into the well, I was dying,
fui a bajar al pozo de tu amor.  /  I was going into the well of your love.
Fui a bajar al pozo, y me caí dentro,  /  I was going into the well, and fell inside,
fui a bajar al pozo de tu amor.  /  I was going into the well of your love.
Necesitaba un trago de tu amor,  /  I needed a drink of your love,
necesitaba el pozo de tu amor.  /  I needed the well of your love.

Por bajar al pozo, yo me caí dentro  /  Because of going into the well, I fell inside
y no quiero que nadie llore por mis lamentos  /  and I don’t want anybody to cry for my laments

Caí… por ti.  /  I fell … for you.
Caí… caí… caí por ti.  /  I fell … fell … fell for you.
Caí… a tu pozo, caí por ti.  /  I fell … into your well, fell for you.
Caí… caí… caí… caí a tu pozo por ti.  /  I fell … fell … fell … fell into your well for you.
Caí.  /  I fell.

Me he caído al pozo, y ahora que estoy dentro  /  I have fallen into the well, and now I’m inside
veo que se ha secado nuestro amor.  /  I see our love has dried up.
Vine a beber al pozo, pero el pozo está seco,  /  I came to drink at the well, but the well is dry,
veo que se ha secado nuestro amor.  /  I see our love has dried up.
Necesitaba un trago de tu amor,  /  I needed a drink of your love,
necesitaba el pozo de tu amor.  /  I needed the well of your love.
