big dumb moon chronicles by a creative wise songwriter with style. Well done, Write on.....right on.   righteously

Your Mix 1

Absolutely the rawest thing ever, feels like it was done in 5 minutes, while actually it took me about a week to finish. It's highly minimal in the way that there's only 2 instruments playing, and those are drums and bass. Heavy distorted and electronic one as usual. It plays sequence of 3 riffs with moderate techno rhythm roughly until the first half, where I switch bass sound and rhythm for a fast one. Classic metal/HC rhythm with no fill-ups and no cymbals (only hi-hat) - as I said, very raw and minimal. 
I had about 6 very good bass sounds to choose from and it was really tough call. In the end I went with first one as electronic, non-aggressive, distorted and somewhat interesting, while second one is more Prodigy-like with some mysterious hall/reverb in it. 
The idea first came to me on my way to work, while sitting in the bus. It kind of happens more and more often. I came up with 3 riffs that created nice sequence, and tried imagining some gradual involvement of drums - as the beginning goes. Couple of days later, I put that into garageband and danced all night, playing it on the loop, since I had to decide on which of those beautiful and crazy bass sounds I'll use. So I hope you're happy with my decisions and enjoy the track. See you.

The World Won't Let Me Believe

The world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
But I don't believe the world

I want to believe that people they've got you
They'll do the right thing when nobody's watching
I want to believe we write our own story
That some day some way we're heading for glory

But the world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
But I don't believe the world

I want to believe there's nothing to fear
That the monsters are all in the rear-view mirror
I want to believe some day we'll be proud of
Our narrow escape from this trap we got out of

But the world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
But I don't believe the world

I want to believe that our time is not wasted
That life is delicious if only we taste it
I want to believe in a world without pain
Where justice comes down like the falling rain

But the world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
But I don't believe the world

The world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
The world won't let me believe
But I don't believe the world
No I don't believe the world
No I don't believe the world

If it were me, I’d ask you how your day has gone
If it were me, I’d listen as you carried on
And I would cherish all you say and do,
You’d tell me all your dreams,
I would make them all come true

And every day I’d tell you that you’re beautiful
Like how your eyes sparkle when you smile
And you should   know, for the first time in my life
 How I feel alive, and you were right here all the while
 
If it were me, you’re longing for

His love for you is fleeting and untrue
 A flash in the pan; he’ll soon disappear
And when you’re blue, i’ll be here for you
 Like I will be throughout the years
 
But it’s not me, I’m not the one your heart beats for
 Hard as I try, I’ll never be who you adore
And is that fair? Am I destined just to be
A friend that’s by your side
 While I keep it all inside?
‘cause it’s not me you’re longing for
A shoulder for your tears
A smile to ease  your fears
  That’s all I’ll ever be

if it were me

Laudate Dominum omnes gentes:
laudate eum omnes populi. Quoniam conrmata est super nos misericordia ejus:
et veritas Domini, manet in æternum. Gloria patri et lio
et spiritui sancto, Sicut erat in principio et nunc
et semper et in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.

O praise the Lord, all ye nations:
praise him, all ye people.. For his merciful kindess is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Laudate Dominum

I give her my heart
Brilliant me
I give her my heart
And she deceived me
Now I'm filled with darkness
While you're shining bright
Big dumb moon
Big dumb moon
In a big dumb sky

She got me bewildered
She got me bewitched
She might as well sold me
The Brooklyn Bridge
And now I'm wondering
Why oh why
Big dumb moon
Big dumb moon
In a big dumb sky

Bright fat and full
Looking down at me
In an ocean of stars
Twinkling fancy free
Do you not care
Do you not see
The fool she made of me.

A little betrayal
A little deceit
Nothing new to her
But it's new to me
And it's got me sinking
To the depths of the night
Big dumb moon
Big dumb moon
In a big dumb sky.

On a lovely night
Just like this
I was mistaken by the moonlight
Mistaken by a kid

Now I'm filled with darkness
While you're shining bright
Big dumb moon
Big dumb moon
In a big dumb sky

LYRIC
In the dreams I dream about you 
We’ve always time to spare 
And it seems like you’re about to
Tell me that you care

It’s the loneliest of feelings
To wake in the cold dawn
And the dream is gone
The dream is gone

Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
When the morning arrives
With its first sunbeam
I go where the day takes me
But at night I can dream

In the dreams I dream there’s times when
Rain falls down in sheets
I can’t find a door to step in
As I walk the empty streets

Then you’re there to offer shelter
As you hold a raincoat wide
And I fold inside 
I fold inside 
Your raincoat wide

Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
I lay down my head
And my heart pumps away
My body needs rest 
But my brain wants to play
It’s the world of the past
Sent out in a stream
I may be an old man 
But I can still dream
I can still dream
The dreams I dream

Im Rosablubberschaumbadtraum

[Verse]
Back in the saddle in my race car again
Chasing the moon through the dead of night
Rubber screams on the asphalt floor
Every mile a battle every mile a roar

[Chorus]
Back in the saddle again
Heart's on fire I’m a shooting star
Burning up the track leaving trails of sparks
Back in the saddle again

[Verse 2]
Wind’s my rival it pulls my face
Engine growls like it’s set to erase
The line’s a blur the world tilts fast
Speed’s my lover the moment won’t last

[Prechorus]
Hands on the wheel
The rush is real

[Chorus]
Back in the saddle again
Heart's on fire I’m a shooting star
Burning up the track leaving trails of sparks
Back in the saddle again

[Bridge]
Gasoline dreams and adrenaline highs
Tires spinning truth out of every lie
No brakes no fear no looking behind
This road’s my pulse my state of mind

Back in the Saddle

Original song "Povedzme, že ty a ja" 
https://soundcloud.com/stefan-svetsky/lets-say-you-and-me-final-song-of-the-slovak-song-competition
composed by Štefan Svetský/Pavol Kusý
Recomposed (music and lyrics) sang by Chihiro Matsumoto


Here is a Demo-version of collaborated piece of music, originally composed by Štefan Svetský/Pavol Kusý, composition rearranged and sang by Chihiro Matsumoto. 

I found this fine piece of music on Sound Cloud and Ioved it, so I left a comment. Then surprisingly the composer Stefan had contacted me for an offer of collabolation.  I have been working on this for about a month, and here is a Demo version.

*************************************
Lyrics 

I'm just always looking for..
It's gonna be procrastination
Just another day dream with you
Sunrise away...

Someone else is blame on you
Something about that we made mistakes
Someone else says ''Let her go, when it's time to go forward''

POVEDZME,ZE
TY A JA,TY A JA
I can't be alone tonight.. ( I don't know what to do)

POVEDZME,ZE
OBAJA , OBAJA
Broken heart so..( I can't tell you why)
                             (let me hold you now)

Those sounds soared higher and far than anyone beyond the world
Separated ways, just when we are
It's beat and beat , just when we done

************************************
Big appreciation for the fateful encounter, thanks to Stefan for giving me the great opportunity. I hope you all to enjoy this music, especially in this difficult time we are all facing. Believe in the power of music, I hope this song will help you go through day by day, until the world  heals itself from the terror of  the unknown virus. 

Thanks again to Stefan, who gave me the opportunity and I believe in our friendship!
