It´s Just A Dream

You can sow a lie
You can do or die
But "fields of red and green are mine"
You can build with stone
You can break young bones
But "all comes back to me in time”
	
Jack fell down and broke his crown         
Nothing would put Jack together again
Ashes to Ashes, dust to dust
All you think you’ve done will go the same

You can shatter lives
Like broken ice
Taking life to save your own
Do you feel strong?
Know right from wrong?
You’ll reap the dust you have sown

See the chains that hold you up
Don’t you know they’re bound to pull you down
Ashes to Ashes, dust to dust
All you think you’ve done will go the same

Jenny blushed*
Behind her fan
And thus she did declare her mind
Cherry pie is very nice, she said
So is apple wine
But she will wear the brown of her kind 

Your time, your life magnificent
Will cost, your precious peace of mind
Ivy’s growing over, and lilies scent does smother
All that’s dust, all that’s left, of humankind

*This verse is paraphrased from the ancient nursery rhyme The Marriage of Cock Robin and Jenny Wren.  Jenny is offered the apparel of a goldfinch or a peacock for her wedding to Cock Robin but in her modesty declines, and is true to herself. Jenny Wren is kind of a contrast to the vanity of leaders who start wars, which is the  subject of this song.

♥️ Thank You very much for over 1800 plays! ♥️

This track is a tribute to genre which flourish in 90's, a love letter to bands like US3, Jazzmatazz, Incognito, Brand New Heavies, Groove Collective and of course Miles Davies and his marvellous "Doo-Bop".

I started working on this piece around July 2022. I've stuck on my inability to do any advanced jazz solos/improvisation and embellishments so this track ended up in my "musical drawer".
Luckily, after finishing my previous piece "Vital Signs", where I used sax VST, I shyly approached Jörg aka @joerxworx with a request to evaluate my saxophone scribbles and a proposal to finish my unrealized piece.
Jörg turned out to be a nice, understanding guy who willingly joined this project. At this point, I would like to thank him very much for this wonderful contribution to this piece, a lot of advice he gave me and a lot of patience for my slow work.

If You like this piece You should definitely check Jörg's page, he created lot of amazing tracks!

DECEPTION.

The battle rages on
And we must choose a side
Only hot or cold
Left in the divide

The fence is rotting
Upon which we sit
Soon it won’t hold
We’ll fall as it splits

We'll fall

Hearts will be broken
And turn on their own
Until they freeze solid
And then turn to stone

Or will grow warmer
Remember our youth
Grow stronger with time
Grow stronger in Truth

The choice will be made
Inside every heart
On the day of the Lord
All will be sorted out

Sitting on the fence,
is no defense
The truth will reveal
the deception

Sort it out

Deception.   Cosmic Keanu (vocals, lyrics & artwork)

IL FAUT TAIRE LE TEMPS

Les vérités fragiles, celles qui indisposent
Des heures indociles qui vieillissent les roses
Sous des lueurs ingrates dans ce compte à rebours
Les années qui partent aux allers sans retour.

Les folles images sans oraisons verbeuses
Nous tournent la page des idées voyageuses
Devant ces rêves fanés de pensées furtives
Le souvenir d’un passé aux humeurs positives.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

Sous couvert d’absolu, larguer le mauvais sang
Vers des terres inconnues au milieu d’océans
S’oublier des hier sans se moquer de tout
Il reste tant à faire pour aller jusqu'au bout.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

En rêvant de son mieux, vers de jolies pensées
Un sourire dans ses yeux ne peut faire qu'avancer
La vie est ainsi faite, elle va, elle vient, elle fuit
Et même quand tout s'arrête, rien n'est jamais fini.

Mais regardons l'avenir, il reste tant de choses
Beaucoup d'éclats de rire qui font les vies en rose
Profitons du bonheur en vivant ce présent
Et sans penser à l'heure qui brisera ce temps.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
En vivant les instants… en vivant simplement.

Some months ago I've been paired with Geoff to compose a song based on his lyrics "I'm not angry". The lyrics were so well-phrased that I heard the stomping of an angry, but fierce woman who is going through a divorce. Alyssa did an awesome job getting into the character and her voice is perfect for that song. Originally composed on the guitar, I am happy that Albert joined our team. We really needed that dark vibe in between folk and blues.

==== LYRICS ====

You used to be grounded
You used to be whole
Knew where you were going
Hit all of your goals

I used to be happy
I used to be glad
Knew what I was doing
Was pleased what I had

But I’m not angry
About what used to be
Don’t seek retribution
Or shake you from your sanctuary

We had a communion
We had a divorce
The pain and the pleasure
Took it’s own course

Down through the river
And out in the street
To wash over strangers
Shoes and their feet

But I’m not angry
About what used to be
Don’t seek retribution
Or shake you from your sanctuary

No I don’t care
For the love that’s been and gone
Cos a runaway train
Was waiting all along
Yes a runaway train
Was waiting all along

He really hit my heart with this amazing track , i knew i had to write with him on this. The ultra talented artist who has many aliases , IPG , Level One Up , you get the picture , go give him some love.
Lyrics:-
Now is all we've got and
For now 
We're Present
Wow It's such a concept
That now
Is this moment

Now is all we have
And now is over
Now is all we have
And now is over

"WHEN" is just a flicker
Of light 
My friend
"THEN" is just a glimmer
of hope 
Again

Now is all we have
And now is over
Now is all we have
And now is over

Now Is Over

Now Is Over - Lou Osiavo & winkandwoo

This is a song I came up with, playing my five string fretless bass along with essentially a click track. I then invited everyone to share their talents on it, too. Ken (K2 and the Three, and K2 and the Four) came up with exactly the drums I was hoping for, strong and accentuating what I'm doing on the bass. JJ's (J.J. Terrell) keys gave it the character of a lighter, funkier jam and completely awakened a new sound within the song by adding a great, catchy riff that flows throughout. Tez (Llanpsych) added some magnificent guitar leads, as I've come welcomingly to expect from him. You can really hear his fiery guitar throughout the whole verse and first section, and at the end, too. Steve (Steve's Planet) added the vocals and wrote the original lyrics, too. His strong, creative singing really helped jump this into the category of a song, rather than a jam. He also showed us that he's willing to follow us anywhere creatively, and very boldly, too. Stephen (TexMex Shaman) added the wild, thrilling guitar solo in the crescendo section, as well as the guitar riffs at the end. He also brought the whole thing together by expertly and meticulously producing and mixing it. Ken and Tez both added some mastering to the final mix, too. We all hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we did putting it together.

Lyrics:
It’s Going Down
The wait is over ——It’s going down now
Savor the moment—-for what—-time allows
it’s going down——it’s going down——now
it’s going down——it’s going down——now
it’s going down now———Ah

Matrix been hacked—-so check your screen feed
this that powerpack top-pick legend in the league
IPG1’s back—- low drag high-speed
explosive on impact ——-giving you what you need

Lou letting loose on the mic
hear the call ——after all here’s the proof that I’m nice
me repping me —- so you gotta feel the hype
morning day noon and night
Tear the roof down ——-sure you’re right ———-
hot is lava ——watch me flip the script —-as cold as ice
double down ——leveled up ——just to break you off a slice

Going to take you to the next level ——stay in stride
hold on ——baby—-strap in—-for the ride

It’s going down
it’s going down now
it’s going down
it’s going down now ———-let’s goooooooo——ooooo (pan)

🔛—— fire in the hole —-here’s another heater
blowing up the track—-Ear candy—but-sweeter
I do it-all —-cause I can —— hear me holler back
just another dope jam—-fam—-- I’m—down like that
Better act like you know————-the complexity
Intense —-ain’t it bro —-don’t—-even question me
bob your head to the rhythm ——— like you just——-agree
beats hitting—— like I won the state lottery
ticket (take it)anyway —you want to—-I broke the mold
Bringing heat nonstop——body heart and Soul
On top of the world—-and I’m feeling —— great
Burning up this track——- kicking ———-808’s
punching through——turned up —-like a heavyweight
With that underground bounce—spreading love not hate

The Wait—is over—
Its’s going down —(X2)
The Wait—is over—
Its’s going down —(X2)

Doing better than good—-yeah —- I’m awesome
Peace keeping—run the hood —-like my kingdom
Earbuds in my ear —-pounding on my eardrums
check the swing on the beat yo—a home run
put a smile on my face—-dope production
—tight beat 808’s——— from the underground
and that’s deeper than the levels——of a Stadium

Gosh!  Over a year since I've posted a new song!  It’s been a rough few years, but for me, the past 6 months have been particularly hard.  

This song was written ages ago, but I wanted to record it, just to have a copy for myself.  It’s a one-take piano/singing thing, with flaws but a sense of the underlying feeling.  While I was producing it, it developed a life of its own.  I had thought I’d rock it up with quite a conventional sound, but the drums and bass insisted on having their own unique flavours – ribbons of synth.  Aah well, here it is, a bit rough around the edges but at least I can feel that I am making music again...  thanks so much for listening!

Rock it…

O rock it, come rock baby roll
there’s a tide rolling green through my soul
Somewhere faint I remember the person I am
Rock it, come baby rock baby roll

Seems everyone’s dancing to light, 
there’s a song we all hear in the night
With the moon wide and high static spitting the sky
seems everyone’s dancing to light
Some red and some yellow some white
seems everyone dances to light

And the dust, it comes muddy your veins
dreary life dull and moaning in pain
Circuits broken and lost and you can’t think to cry
lost the code lost the path and can’t understand why
and the meaningless days and interminable nights
when there’s nowhere to fly and the wings lost their flight
found the feathers all crushed on the floor
trampled broken, don’t work any more

O rock it, come rock baby roll
there’s a tide rolling green through my soul
Somewhere faint I remember the person I am
Rock it, come baby rock baby roll

But somehow the cycle moves through,
the winds of change whisper and call
some beat in your brain lets the sleep patterns change
to the pulse of the blood and the beat of the brain
and awaken arise to the life-song refrain

O rock it, come rock baby roll
there’s a tide rolling green through my soul
Somewhere faint I remember the person I am
Rock it, come baby rock baby roll

Dear friends,
during the first summer months, a majestic singing competition takes place in the park behind our house. It is mainly the chaffinch and the blackbird that compete!
The picture is from the park where my chaffinch friends live.

The Chaffinch

This morning i’m going to visit my friends
who live near my home
They are so small, You can hear them anyway
They are hidden in the trees and they won’t show their face
I have to take a brake and listen to their song  
these early morning hours
Dear friends you must listen to their song
and all Your problems will disappear

They wear a blue-grey cap and have rust-red underparts
but the female is brown-grey
They have beautiful white wingbars - visible when they fly
You should not miss their lovely song - it goes directly to Your soul
I have to take a brake and listen to their song
these early morning hours
Dear friends you must listen to their song
and all Your problems will disappear

The boy birds have to learn from their fathers how to sing
to avoid a crunching sound
The male and his wife stay together all their lives
and they both feed their kids with caterpillars and more
I have to take a brake and listen to their song
these early morning hours
Dear friends you must listen to their song
and all Your problems will disappear

The Chaffinch

He's left the country for the big city , but boy does he regret it !
I'll be back with a bit of Rock on the 18th , a song called Not Today .
In the meantime Charlie and the Fox release a beautiful ballad on
the 10th , it's called Burning Love , you will love it !
Thank you for all your support , it makes an old muso very happy !

Lyrics:

Day dreaming
An enchanted feeling
Take my hand in yours hold it forever more
The night's receding
For you I'll keep believing 
Your amber eyes to my surprise are gently grieving

Lean closer 
Please let me show ya
The love inside no need to hide I already know ya

Day dreaming
An enchanted feeling
Take my hand in yours hold it forever more

Forever more
Forever more
Take my hand in yours hold it forever more

Forever more
Forever more
Take my hand in yours hold it forever more

Time plays games with my mind
The winds of change blow indifferently outside
Only together
Can we build a world for the better
So take my hand my dear 
Hold it forever
Forever

Day dreaming
An enchanted feeling
Take my hand in yours hold it forever more
The night's receding
For you I'll keep believing
Take my hand in yours hold it forever more

Forever more
Forever more
Take my hand in yours hold it forever more
Forever more
Forever more
Take my hand in yours hold it forever more

My first SoundCloud song!

Lyrics

I saw a stranger in the mist
Across the river nearby 
and I wish that you were on my side
Though we cant be friends ever again

I think about you everyday
The pain not going away
And you'll just make it worse like a on-going curse 

I saw a stranger in the mist
Across the river nearby 
I saw someone that I used to know
And it hurt

But I know
That everything matters to me
And though I shouldn't 
Every part of me cares about you
Even if you won't feel the same
