haiku #378: snowflakes gently fall / cold winter’s pale sakura / I envy the birds

Some atmospheric tracks from various Soundcloud artists for your enjoyment.

Mood Cake (airy)

With reverence to @Burn-it-Smith for a strong dose of inspiration. The Barrelhouse Bard from Brighton is SoundCloud's leading purveyor of upright wit and wisdom. Check him out.

You’re so beautiful when you are drunk
Your left eye goes lazy and you act like a punk
You laugh as you trip on the heels of your pumps
You’re so beautiful when you are drunk

I get lost in your glassy eyed stare
You’re the center of attention but you don’t even care
I mumble, “I love you,” like it’s some kind of prayer
You just give me your glassy eyed stare

We stumble through the streets and I fall down at your feet
It’s the same old thing we did last week
Another beer cave for us to spelunk 
Just another drink with just another drunk

You have grace, glamour, and style
As you fumble with the phone that you can’t even dial
We sleep in the taxi that only takes us a mile
So much for grace glamour and style

I love the smell of merlot on your breath
As you yell at the door as if it were deaf
On the couch like a corpse the only thing that is left
Is the smell of merlot on your breath

Pink elephants on parade, will we ever have it made?
The money’s always gone before I get paid
And all I can think of after all I have thunk
Is you’re so beautiful when you are drunk
You’re so beautiful when you are drunk

You're So Beautiful When You Are Drunk

The Call Of The Priests

Not as well aligned with the subject as I'd planned, but I took a slightly unusual approach. I recorded myself reading the haiku, then used that as my sole sound source (albeit significantly processed). The result is quite interesting, if not exactly as I'd intended.

This track was inspired by the following Haiku:
Snowflakes gently fall,
cold winter's pale sakura -
I envy the birds.

Winter's Envy (naviarhaiku378)

snowflakes gently fall ( Naviarhaiku 378 )

The Berlin-based, dark-wave, post-punk duo Her Absence Fill the World premieres their first-ever cover with the track "Stronger than me” by Amy Winehouse.
Their recognizable sad and chasing aesthetics that we know from their original track “Inside, Outside” released back in January are also present in the "Stronger than me” cover. 
With that they built another bridge between genres you would not bring together in the first place, pointing out the emotional essence of music.

Meet today
What of many yesterdays
A veil to hide
Stellar truth that lies inside
We return
To the obscure
Cosmic Surrender
Cosmic Surrender
We start
As flaming hearts
A veil to hide
Stellar truth that lies inside
We return
To the obscure
Cosmic Surrender

We return

Short edited version of a song I made in 2017.

Duet Of Tears

Sometimes you feel like you belong to another place. A remote place in which you find out positive emotions and marvelous people; maybe an interesting and surprising person. I think about the Mediterranean while writing these words. An island is capable of enclosing all this meaning, a little spot full of dreams and strong vibes.

This piece has been composed during the confinement experienced in Spain due to the COVID-19 virus pandemic.

The Island

Inspired by my old studιes on classical guitar of some very old music styles, like Medieval-Renaissance (15-17th century) with a modern touch of ambient guitar playing (a classical-ambient guitar fusion!)

look out my window what do I see
Sky cut in quarters, border country
Jaybirds are flying with no need to escape 
only horizon’s here, no landscape

look out my window what do I find
this land ain’t your land this land ain’t mine
jumped a train pullin slow from a railroad station
They might just throw me off
before my destination

I got those existential blues again
look out my window from one side
I know I’m only passing through my friend
so hello and goodbye

look out my window what do you know
18 hole golf course and brand new condos
16 lane highway what can ya do
can’t take walk here
and can’t play through

look out my window well bless my soul
honey bee keeper calling pest control
he’s shouts “I’ve been infested, What can I do?”
“Divide and concur, son”
“I’ll lay some traps for you.”

I got those existential blues again
look out my window from one side
I watch my neighbors take it on the chin
dispossessed and unsatisfied

look out my window oh my oh my
someone can’t give up someone else won’t try
But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
I need beauty sleep
pull the shade for heaven’s sake

I got those existential blues again
look out my window from one side
where the wage-slave streets of gold dead ends
and the guardian souls abide

Existential Blues Again by Giant Buzzard

No one can treat my heart right
Keeping it tight
Dealing with fight
No one can treat my heart right
Keeping the sound
Rewind

No one can treat my heart right
Keeping it tight
Dealing with fight
No one can treat my mind right
Keeping the sound
Rewind

Dollar game
Feelings grain
No oneﾕs calling ﾒsweetie", damn
Are you gonna leave?

Seeing through the tears
Of wine
Keeping secretly all fads
In bar

Chilling in my undies
Staring at the rain
What i have been hiding
My eyes behind the screen

Make me breathe in
The poisoned amber
Of the darkest days
Youﾕre leaving me here
