Spring Time Multi genre21

69twoZERO - War Machine

My second collaboration with Jimena and Chris Kinsey.  The song began with a few chords played on a midi keyboard using ‘silky string selection’ in Logic to work out the structure.  I added Guitars, Bass and Drums and asked Chris to add some ‘Kinseyfication’ on Piano and Organ, then, it was over to Jimena to write the lyrics and record her amazing vocal tracks. Once I had all the constituent parts, I set about the final mix and mastering; this is the result.
A huge, huge thanks to Chris and Jimena for their outstanding contributions which have elevated the song to another level.

Mind Maze

Caught in a nightmare
From which I can’t escape
I gulp in foul air
And mortal dread takes shape

No recollection
Of joyful memories
Sheer desolation
No more victories

The throes of delusion engulf me and swallow me 
It’s getting too hard to wake up from this dream
And all the confusion that toys with my sanity
Invites me to let out a blood-curdling scream

Someone please save me
There’s no way out of this mind maze
My heart betrayed me
And now I’m all lost in this mind maze
Mind maze

Running blind in the wilderness
Chased by unfounded fears
I’m fleeing from the emptiness
That threatens to feed on me

The throes of a nightmare engulf me and swallow me 
Although I’m awake as can possibly be
And all the despair that consumes me and blinds me
Makes me wanna cry, makes me wanna scream

Someone please save me
There’s no way out of this mind maze
(No way out of here)
My heart betrayed me
And now I’m all lost in this mind maze
No way out of here

In these blurry surroundings my mind plays tricks on me
If give in to madness, will my worries disappear?
Oh, if I succumb to the darkness, will you find me in my sleep?
Please don’t take an eternity to come and rescue me
Rescue me

I succumb to this wasteland
Can’t fight this pantomime
As I sink deep in quicksand 
I reach out to you one last time

Someone please save me
There’s no way out of this mind maze
(No way out of here, no way out of here)
My heart betrayed me
And now I’m all lost in this mind maze
(No way out of here)
No way out of here

Save me
Save me from myself

I closed my eyes. 
You lead me by the hand.. 
Right here...

I'm with You Ps.

I still don't believe in Evil.
I believe in Love.
But...

Pure Love

Before they fall

Hey Everybody!
We hope you all are doing well and you enjoy our new song!

Lyrics:
I catch a whiff of sweet aroma from the restaurant across the street
As I tiptoe atop these cobblestones, hoping to get something to eat
Maybe I forgot to tell you I loved you? Or maybe it‘s time for a change?
I’m left with these unanswered questions that I wish would just go away.

Could this be a love song? One that you will never hear
Or am I lonely, and these thoughts are just me being insincere?
‘Cause I just smiled at the waitress, who reminded me of you
So I drop some coins on the counter, tiptoe back across these cobblestones
As far away from you as I can be. 

I don‘t really want to see you anymore
Close my eyes for a moment trying to forget
But there you are in my memories
Where you’ll always be.

LYRICS:

So far away from me, above me, beyond me
I cannot look into the light
I melt away in the golden hours
I'm swimming in liquid sunshine

I sit atop the clouds, a constant reminder
Never too far away from insanity
I lose my face in the golden hours
I'm getting drunk on liquid sunshine

It gets away from me, around me and through me
In different frequencies of light
I am awake in the golden hours
I'm soaking in liquid sunshine

Living in the golden frequency
Never too far away from insanity
Insanity

Golden Hours - Shark Teeth, Labarca & Moon Dust

“If you are very lucky, you're allowed to be in certain places during just the right season of your life: by the sea for the summer when you're seven or eight and full of the absolute need to swim until dark and exhaustion close their hands together, cupping you in between.”
― Jonathan Carroll, Bones of the Moon

I was thinking about dreams and how they can suddenly come back to you during the day, sometimes in just a glimmer.

WHEN WILL THE DAYLIGHT COME
THERE'S NO MORE SKY LIVING INSIDE
WHEN WILL THE LIGHT COME ON
WHEN YOU GET HOME   A FLASH OF LIGHT

BUT LIFE WILL PASS US BYE
AND NEVER SAY GOODNIGHT
NO KEY TO THE OTHERSIDE

WHICH WAY DOES THE RIVER FLOW
IT'S LOOKING REAL DRY EXCEPT WHEN I CRY
THE MOON AND THE SUN WILL RISE
AND EVERYDAY   THEY CALL YOUR NAME

A LIFE OF RIGHT AND WRONG
A NEVER ENDING SONG
NO KEY TO THE OTHERSIDE
(Break)
THE TICKING OF TIME GOES BYE
THE MEMORY LANE IS FADING AWAY
THE WAVES ARE ALL CRASHING DOWN
AND EVERYDAY HAS NO NAME

SO LIFE WILL PASS YOU BYE
THE PUNISHMENT FITS THE CRIME
NO KEY TO THE OTHERSIDE

Lyrics:
Catch me looking up when I feel down
Heart ice cold music too loud 
Said you was wanting something real now
You know that my heart is yours to steal now
Feet are on the edge
Messing with my head
Need something true instead
And I'll be just fine on my own
Head in the clouds but it's ice cold
Feet on the ground where the night go
Say no lies if you say so
Really don't know what you don't know
Head in the clouds but it's ice cold
Feet on the ground where the night go
Saying no lies if you say so
Really don't know what you don't know

Head In The Clouds But It's Ice Cold - Paploviante

Cardiacs cover. 
I just had to, warts and all. I got blisters on me fingers! 

Following around to see a life that's never in
Always calling itself on its own phone
Though its never quite at home in the world today
See it to arranging the day
Prepared in its own special way
With added loving care
Though its not been there since yesterday
Looking so hard for a cause
And it don't care what it is
And never really ever seeing eye to eye
Though it doesn't really mind
Perhaps that's why
It never really saw
Never really saw
Saw
It never really...
Following around to see a life that's never in
Always calling itself on its own phone
Though its never quite at home in the world today

Back in the driver seat, Welcome to the EEM Todays Nightmare.

Todays Nightmare

Once Upon A Time

Just to let you know, we've changed our project name to Passion Arcade as we felt it described us better as a couple, and it having an 80s reference in there at the same time, just as our music (hopefully!).  Thanks for listening to our music!
Annie & Sander

Passion Arcade came into existence when Annie Smart (@annie-smart-1) and Sander Heerings (Wane of Summer @wane-of-summer) joined forces in 2019 to create some synthpop tracks. In no time we coughed up 12 tracks, so we decided to go for an album :)

Passion Arcade: 
Annie Smart - vocals, backing vocals
Sander Heerings - synths, programming, production
