John Carpenter - The Fog (Retröxx Cover)

Everyday

I start this new album with better sound by means of one of my more beloved and evolved songs ever, a structured piece with progressing parts.

LETRA   /   TRANSLATED LYRICS:

BIEN, MAL (LLUVIA VIEJA)    /   WELL, BADLY (OLD RAIN)

Sí, no, ¿por qué no?   /   Yes, no, why not? 
estoy pensando que esto no es lo mejor.   /   I am thinkinkg this is not the best.
Bien, mal, ¿tú qué tal?   /   Well, badly, what about you?
de repente me he puesto a pensar.   /   Suddenly I have started to think.

El tiempo esparcido entre mis amigos   /   Time scattered among my friends
 es el más valioso cuando estoy contigo.   /   is the most valuable one when I am with you
Los ratos vividos estando contigo   /   Moments lived being with you
 son reconfortantes cuando estoy perdido.   /   are comforting when I feel lost. 
Tengo que buscarlos entre mis amigos,   /   I must search for them among my friends
tengo que encontrarlos, pero ya se han ido todos.   /   I must find them, but they are all gone already.

Fumando   /   Smoking 
tras los cristales   /   behind the windows
mojados de lluvia vieja.   /   wet with old rain
Recuerdos   /   Memories
 que me llevan flotando   /   carry me floating
 a estar con ella.   /   to be with her

Tengo que buscarlos entre mis amigos.   /   I must search for them among my friends

Tú, yo, ¿qué sé yo?   /   You, me, what do I know?
está lloviendo pero tengo calor.   /   It is raining but I feel hot
Qué, quién, ¡mírame!   /   What, who, look at me !
soy todavía quien empezaste a querer.   /   I am still who you started do love

Soy todavía quien empezaste a querer.  /   I am still who you started do love

Bien, mal (Lluvia vieja)

It sure seems there's always malice in the palace. Either you’re in the palace causing malice or you’re trying to stop the malice. In both cases there's still malice in the palace. As subjects, we have to live with that malice, so get out and vote. And if voting doesn’t make a difference, get out there and storm the palace, but only for a cause I believe in, lol. 

I love roots reggae and am stuck in the period between '68 and '82. Don’t get me wrong, ska is great, and I lump rocksteady into my preferred period of reggae. And I am not saying I don’t appreciate later periods of reggae and dancehall. I did enjoy the 90s dancehall that often went along with golden era hip hop. But I will always like 70s roots reggae best. I must be old. 

Thanks SoundCloud friends for making roots reggae with me and helping me LARP my musical fantasies. You're all the best! May everyone live out their rock star dreams.

Trodding in this world of inequity 
People dying in the city
Kings in palaces show no pity
There’s malice in the palace 
There’s malice in the palace
Queen Majesty let’s lick up the chalice
I wanna hear I wanna hear what you can tell us 
And don’t you try to quell us
Or we’ll be storming up the citadel, yes! 
You’ve got to be pure of heart and pure mind
Cause blessed are the pure in heart
So you’ve got to live clean
If you know what I mean
There’s malice in the palace
We’re storming the citadel, yes!
And in the end, the last shall be first, and the first last 
For many shall be called, but few shall be chosen
Trodding in this world of inequity 
People are dying in the city
And kings in palaces dem show no pity
There’s malice in the palace 
There’s malice in the palace
Queen Majesty let’s lick up the chalice
I wanna hear I wanna hear what you can tell us 
So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it
For him it is sin
And that is the way of the righteous
For the path may be rocky
But the conscious can remain clean
If you know what I mean
There’s malice in the palace 
And we’re storming the citadel, yes!
For many are called, but few are chosen
There’s malice in the palace 
There’s malice in the palace, 
Queen Majesty let’s lick up the chalice
I wanna hear I wanna hear what you have to say
And don’t you lie to us
Or we’ll be climbing the citadel, yes!
Or we’ll be climbing the citadel 
There’s too much inequity 
So don’t you try quell
Do good things for in due season we will reap
So do not grow weary in doing good, y’all
And the fruit of the spirit is love, goodness, and peace 
And against such things there is no law
Living in the righteous way is no flaw
There’s Malice in da palace
And We’re storming the citadel
We’re storming the citadel, yes!
For many are called, but few are chosen
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
Trodding in this world of inequity 
people dying in the city
Kings in palaces dem show no pity
And we’re all going to be storming the citadel, yes!
So Queen Majesty
I wanna have a word with you and lick up da chalice
I wanna hear, I wanna hear, I wanna hear what you have to say
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
And don’t you try to quell us
There’s Malice in da palace
Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life

This little number is totally inspired by my cat Sixx Vicious (pictured in all his round glory). It starts out with some crunchy blues in a straight forward 4/4 groove, and than morphs into a slow 6/8 groove before exploding into a full gallop 6/8 groove.
Towards the end it slows back down into a shuffle rhythm that fades into a rather different ending...surprise!!!! It's Chonkers.

Remembering my time living on Gower St, in WC1 for 5 years....and many happy days spent wandering around SOHO

SOHO

I sent a very rough recording of this tune to Darren and asked him to make an instrumental for me to sing to. He produced two lovely tracks for me to choose from, and I liked them so much I sang to both. Here's the first one, the dreamy version. Thank you as always for listening and thank you, Darren.

No One Understands You Like I Do          

Song, vocals: Janine Levinson 2020
Instruments, mix:  Darren Sullivan @darren-sullivan

Sometimes it’s hard to tell the useless from the good
Sometimes it’s only possible to be misunderstood
There always will be trouble, and we’ll always be confused
Sometimes it will be ‘cause of me and sometimes ‘cause of you

But don’t you worry, although I am not perfect
No one understands you like I do

Sometimes you need a lover and sometimes you need a friend
I’m one or I’m the other, and today I’m both of them
But sometimes I am neither  -- and for that I am ashamed

But don’t you worry, although I am not perfect
no one understands you like I do

Foggy, floating in a compromise
Coalesce and then diffuse
My purple prose just leaves you mystified
And radar pierces through the gloom

Sometimes it’s hard to tell the useless from the good
Sometimes it’s only possible to be misunderstood
There always will be trouble and we’ll always be confused

But don’t you worry, although I am not perfect, lover
no one understands you like I do

No One Understands You Like I do  -  With Darren Sullivan

Still Dropping Heat

Planned and release ——but honestly 
My anthem——independent artistry 
stand back——- while I spit this
stay calm—— and bare witness 
amazed—-as I blaze this 
slay haters ——pure business 
that’s right —-I’m your Deathwish
I’m viscous—- your breathless 
for the Fam I’mer —-bless this 
discussions ——just wisdom 
Not asking—-permission 
the focus ——-the vision 
continue ——the mission 
The beat—-the transmission 
and thanks ———for the listen

Chorus
If there isn’t any justice blood spills—blood spills
no money but bills ——no jobs——- no skills
just sickness and pills —-neglected rights ———and unnecessary kills 
if there isn’t any justice blood spills—blood spills

The loss was solid as concrete 
acknowledge the defeat 
watch the nation stand together—— turning wolves into sheep
homeless people in the streets 
without a dime to make ends meet 
a new leader in the seat —-don’t mean sound retreat retreat
The beat will make you sweat 
muscles begin to flex 
been known to drop a line or two of stone cold context 
I always come correct 
respect it and except 
each rhymes on time and I’m inclined to perform as you expect
Now let me be direct 
to serve and protect 
must not go unchecked —so better results are guaranteed in retrospect 
that’s why we protest 
we won’t settle for this mess 
it’s all violence and injustice and we will not be suppressed (X2)
the whole world in distress 

Chorus
If there isn’t any justice blood spills—blood spills
no money but bills ——no jobs——- no skills
just sickness and pills —-neglected rights ———and unnecessary kills 
if there isn’t any justice blood spills—blood spills

I sit on your doorstep - waiting for you to come down - i know that you are up there trying to turn your world around - As you put on your make-up you think about our breakup and how its affected you but still you're okay - and I put on my make-up and think about this breakup and i am surely not okay with what it's been doing to me - then you walk out you doorway yeah and I am waiting right there - your agenda is cold shoulder and the night just keeps getting colder and colder - then you you just graze right by me yeah - guess I'm a ghost from your past - what was it that changed you - am i - am i the one who changed you - should i wait for you to come home - no my friends would call me a creep - but I would own that label - if you would just talk to me - wish I could come upstairs made a mix tape of all the songs you love we can listen by the fireplace that's all that's all I've been dreaming of - I guess that I'm just getting old - and all the things that meant so much to us - have vanished in a cloud of dust - woman  woman who can we trust - then you walk out your doorway yeah I am waiting right there your agenda is cold shoulder and the night just keep getting colder and colder - I pass by your doorstep yeah everyday on my way to work and even though you haven't lived there for years i still see your face - was creeping on your Instagram - got a family and I'm still who I am I'm lost without your tenderness oh woman I'm so lost
