Awesome sound-cloud artists [mid-summers dream]

Being originally a very short & simple song I wrote about a traumatic event (translated lyrics below), I have been working separately on verses and refrain, then trying new ways to combine and glue them.

So, aware of changing moods along, most with tambourine in hands ;)

Letra / Lyrics:

MI ALBORNOZ HA DESAPARECIDO  /  MY BATHROBE HAS DISAPPEARED

¿Quién sabe a dónde ha ido?  /  Who knows where it has gone?
¿Quién estará conmigo  /  Who will be with me
las noches en que tenga frío?  /  the nights when I feel cold?

Mi albornoz ha desaparecido.  /  My bathrobe has disappeared.

Después de lo que hemos vivido,  /  After all that we lived,
¿quién sabe porqué se ha ido?  /  who knows why it has gone away?
Dios sabe cuánto le he querido…  /  God knows how much I have loved it …

Mi albornoz ha desaparecido.  /  My bathrobe has disappeared.

Mi Albornoz (Ha desaparecido)

The mighty baritone rides again. 😎


I never wanted to push the boat out
Give you pie in the sky
I didn't promise I'd be perfect
I'm not that guy

I'd rather be cool than a danger
Risking all I see
Better a fool than an angel
Is all I want to be

I didn't promise I'd be good
Not guilty of that crime
I do things I shouldn't do
Happens all the time

Please be good to me
Don't get on my back
I'm weak and I'm a fool
Cut me some slack

I'd rather be cool than a danger
Risking all I see
Better a fool than an angel
Is all I want to be

Better A Fool

We're all On the Lowdown these days, trying to understand the significance of the issues around us.   And I couldn't think of a better way to spend some time than to bring together some of my very favorite musicians I have met from around the world, with our original On the Lowdown.   Special musicians contributed to this - two exceptional guitarists from the Philadelphia area - Audric Jankauskas and Stephan Lipinski, Barcelona's Sam Mendez on tenor sax, and Germany's Mirko Borach playing the beautiful fretless bass.  Audric has the first guitar solo and Stephan the second.  The final mastering was done by Audric.  Follow these wonderful players and creators:

And please keep your community safer by remaining On the Lowdown

Thanks as always for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares

ANOTHER WORLD

This orchestral piece was inspired by the lyrics @JanineLevinson provided for  "AND SO" (https://soundcloud.com/phil-Mcwalter/and-So). This piece portrays the ensuing uneasy wedding reception. 

I composed and recorded it using Spitfire Audio's 'BBC Symphony Orchestra' and Native Instrument's 'Berlin Concert Grand Piano' samples in Logic Pro X. Each instrument played line by line on keyboard.

All For Nothing (Collaboration with Paploviante)

Grief is a taboo. It is not good and healthy to suppress negative feelings and experiences. But we are told to think positive by any guru. We become motivated to hide sorrow. But that will lead to instable balance sooner or later. Sometimes a human must cry. So I allow myself to stop faking thinking positive, being strong and indestructable. I admit being fragile and imperfect, a human with emotions, Feel invited to think about it and thank you for listening!

Happy Solstice! xx

Feverfew by Steph Sweet

Free your mind, slip through time
Anaesthetise your own disaster
Step outside the pretty lies
Refute the slave, become the Master

You’re not really sure
You’d like to let it all go
You say you want something pure
You wanna let it all go, go, go

Hidden light of Judas eye
Anaesthetise your happy ever after
Turn the tide, the endless lies 
Will only ever bring you disaster

You’re not really sure
You’d like to let it all go
You say you want something pure
You wanna let it all go, go , go

Feverfew, feverfew, feverfew
Feverfew, feverfew, feverfew

Track Lyrics
Kick the Spurs

Shake, shake, shake it, shake it on down.
Slap a line of heavener runestones ‘round.

Take, take, take it on down.
Reach out wide to hear the echoes,
of some long-lost worlds collide.

Nature holds the reins,
whips the “Hi Ho Silver” plains,
dust storming this bad ole hoof-beat ground.
Mmm, the bad ole hoof-beat ground.

Fake, fake, shaking it and how,
Scratch a line of runestones now.

Echoes of some long-lost times
are breaking through the clouds,
and I swear I can hear them,
“Hi Ho Silver” ringing ‘round.

Shake, shake, shake it around, shake it on down.
Slap a rhymer heavener down.

Shake, shake, shake it around, shake it on down.
Shake, shake, shake it around, shake it on down.

Fake, fake, fake it, shake it up and down.
Scratch a line in the runestones now.

Nature kicks the spurs,
whipping up an ancient curse,
no rain, for this dusty storming ground.
Only echoes of the hoof-beats pound.

Kick The Spurs-  Chris O & Moon Dust

I still remember when I heard "Smells Like Teen Spirit" for the first time. I actually saw the music video on MTV in the middle of the night. "What a weird video!" is what I thought. (Sports/Club/College culture is very different in Germany lol). But the music blew my mind. 
At that time I was a singer in a Stoner Rock band, while recording Pop tunes for my solo project. This song was just a perfect fusion of my two worlds. 
Here is my take on it. It's song number 4 on my EP "My Own Crazy". 
The original is perfect, so I did not seek to copy it. My goal was to reimagine it within my own style. My wonderful friend Bettina plays the saxophone on the song, which gives it just what it needs, I think. 
With the lights out, it's less dangerous … Thank you, Nirvana! Let me know what you think!

Load up on guns, bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey

I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey

And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it's hard to find
Oh well, whatever, never mind

Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial, a denial
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial

Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana Cover)

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

Sometimes people close to us pass away far earlier than expected, and sometimes they come back to visit us in our dreams.

Here's the breakdown of what I used on this track:
Drums: Logic Pro Virtual Drummer Max Punk Rock with the Bluebird drum kit
Bass: Logic Pro Thumb bass with some chorus and delay
Electric Piano: Korg SV-1 Reed EP-2 preprocessed with chorus and plate delay, post processed with echo, spreader, ensemble and flanger. With all these effects and a sustain pedal, if you hold the pedal down and repeat notes in rapid succession, a crescendo effect is created (with the built in analogue amplifier).
Synth: Logic Pro (Alchemy) Strings Morph and Buss Bar (Funky Crunchy)

MISS YOU

I see you when I close my eyes
I dream of you when I despair
Too much time since I held you
Years gone by since I saw you

I miss you
Are you watching over me
I miss you
Did you come see me

When you sat down right next to me
Did you tell me that you’re gonna be alright
Did you tell me that the future is bright
Did you tell me to not lose sight

I miss you
Are you waiting for me
I miss you
Will you take care of me

Sometimes you’re with me
Sometimes I feel good
Sometimes you’re with me
Sometimes I feel good

I wake up reach out for you
I lose myself grasping for air
It feels so real swear I saw you
Years gone by seem like yesterday

I miss you
Are you watching over me
I miss you
Did you come see me

I miss you
Are you waiting for me
I miss you
Will you take care of me

Sometimes you’re beside me
Sometimes I feel good
Sometimes you’re beside me
Sometimes I feel good

A gaping hole inside me
At all times I miss you
A gaping hole inside me
At all times I miss you
A gaping hole inside me
At all times I miss you
A gaping hole inside me
At all times I miss you

Miss You

The Chase (Produced by Roberto Lattanzio Ft Nathalie B20)

Taken from the forthcoming album "SCENARIO BIZARRE"
Lyrics :-
And I can shout about it 
From the highest mountain top
And I could write about it 
With a headline just to shock

Would you listen
Would you take on board
My opinion
I am not so sure 

Wherever I follow
Wherever I go
It is in the heart for me 
Way down deep in my soul
If you choose to follow
Or if you choose to go 
Remember that authentic is always best
You can feel that down to the bone

AUTHENTIC

This is a song about getting back out into the world and re-connecting.
We are all part of this planet if we like it or not and we have to live with it and try to survive ,nature has ways of making us remember this and sometimes its a hard lesson to learn ,but there is still a world of wonder and much to see,feel and discover on our journey though life

Vocals: Amanda Kim Sanderson

It started in Garstang
Heading out for the M55 it's a beautiful motorway
But in the wrong direction 

I first saw Jimi in 75
Stood on the cowling of a seaplane not alive
But more like a saviour

I sat by the lakeside
Checking up on the stove and the gear for a very long holiday
To where the spirit takes me

He landed like a star on Derwentwater
His face was drawn so I offered him a quarter
Of Kendal mint cake

Driving the ghost of a famous 60s rock star
Around and around ’til we've built the energy
Living in the back of a camper van
The lakes are great and we do the best we can
One day we'll make it

We're parked in a lay by
Filling up with some beans on toast and a very nice Chardonnay 
To mark the occasion

In a white silk shirt and skin tight pants
He can't sing a note and he's banned all instruments
You've got to respect it

Driving the ghost of a famous 60s rock star
Around and around ’til we've built the energy
Living in the back of a camper van
The lakes are great and we do the best we can
One day we'll make it

We pin our hopes upon
The comeback show of the chosen one
At the Woodstock of the north
In Deeply Vale with Sandie Shaw and The Doors 

Driving the ghost of a famous 60s rock star
Around and around ’til we've built the energy
Living in the back of a camper van
The lakes are great and we do the best we can
One day we'll make it

But the times have changed
The stars have left?
We keep on chasing happiness none the less
One day we’ll find it

Time and Tide

UNITED FOR LIFE

A powerful song about a soldier who's stationed abroad in a war stricken zone and deeply longs for his precious family as everything is now washed away and gone. The cold and dusty haze, the land that's all torn up and distraught has simply become all too much to bear.

War is never pretty and so let us give love and deep gratitude to our veterans, to the soldiers who sacrifice/d and bring great justice and freedom to all...they are also suffering tremendous mental torture...the dark remnants of what they endured is forever lingering inside them...let us help make a difference by showing our deep regard and respect...to also give love and understanding, to help them recover and feel happiness again - May this song fill everyone up with endless love and positivity - XO

Thank you so much Dear Colin for Family, this magnificent reigning work of pop-rock art...Your music is an absolute joy to me...your friendship and belief in me keep me bliss-fully-hyped-up-&-energized....My deepest heartfelt gratitude and love for all that you have given me on Milky Ocean and now on Family...I look so forward to our next songs together,  Rekha - XO-XO-XO

Family – Music & Lyrics by REKHA, (Written on Feb 22nd, 2020)

My head is full of precious memories
Sweet and Dear
Where I long to be
With my family who love me
Wo-Oo, Wo-Oh, Oh-Oh  

The time has come when all is in the past
I’m finally free, free at last
Wo-Oo, Wo-Oo-Wo
No more call of special duty
For all is washed away and gone
But I am still strong
Holdin’ on, on, on  
Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh

Chorus

Family, family
How I just wanna be with my family
The one’s who’ll wait
The one’s who’ll always  
Stand by me, (Ee-Ee-Ee-Ee)

Family, my family  
(Nothing’s ever gonna break us apart)

I feel alone, so alone
In the cold and dusty haze
Far abroad in the land
All torn up and distraught
I tried so hard to help the people
I tried my best  
But couldn’t, couldn’t save them all
(Sometimes I feel so small)

Family, family
How I just wanna be with my family
The one’s who’ll wait
The one’s who’ll always  
Stand by me
Hey-Ee, Eh-Ee-Yeah
Family, my family

(Break)

I am so weak
And just need my strength
You can only get it back  
From those who truly love me  

Family, family
The one’s I love
The one’s who I want
So, so near, we’re made
Hoh-Oo, Wo-Oo, Wo-Oo, Oh-Oo-Wo

(Outro)

Family, family
Yeah-Yeah
My precious family
Precious family
Oh Yeah

Conquering and ruling cultures often oppress those they dominate. The oppressed, and those with less power, will always eventually seek justice, representation, and equal power from their subjugators. Those whose culture have been vilified, repressed, and appropriated can regain their power and love by learning about their past, choosing and identifying their cultural heroes for themselves, and restoring their appreciation and celebrations for their ancestors.  

May this song encourage an honest look into your past, acknowledging both the shadow and the light, appreciating the beauty of what was and is, and learning from accomplishments and mistakes to continue our evolution in becoming better co-creators with the planet.

I used some of a bass stem Alpha Roots sent me to make Red Earth Clay and I used the rest of the stem to make Sow Your Seeds. I have one unused bass and drum stem from Alpha Roots that I will make an old school hip hop song with and I may remix his original Hosanna bass stem one day to make a new reggae song. I may also ask Russ if I can make a version of Da Weed using Alpha Roots’ stems one day. After that, I may be complete unless I get gifted some Alpha Roots stems to play with. 

Huge thanks to Chiefo who set the original tone of this song which gave me inspiration for  the lyrics. Big ups to Fady, bit zone, and Lady of Fire Poetry for joining in on this project and adding their collective vibe. Massive thanks to Wou-Wou & the Wormling for keeping the track on skank with his rhythm guitar and for providing us with his incredible art work - commission him for some work y’all!!! And massive thanks to Russell and the Chaos Cookhouse for mixing and mastering these stems into the huge dubbed out joint that it is. Hit Russ up for his mixing and mastering services now!!!

Lyrics:

Know your roots and your culture 
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey 
Rock your roots and your culture 
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey 

Get to know your roots and your culture
Who you be now 
Know your history now 
So you can see now 
Where you wanna sow your seeds now 
Where you wanna sow your seeds now
Hey ey ey
Hey ey ey 

Gonna build on that which went before I 
Try and build on that which went before I 
Never knew who I was 
Dem try and control my 
Never knew who I was 
Dem try and control my
 Destiny with suppression and lies 
Deny that my ancestors were wise 
Revise my story with your wicked eyes  so others will despise 
And overlook the great civilizations that my people built 
Likewise likewise likewise

Unaware of history your destined to repeat it 
Only hear deceitful stories and we’re likely to concede to it 
Take away the leaders from our culture to unseat it 
Take away our dreams from our spirit to defeat it 
Replace dem with your poor role models and everyone believes in it 
Replace dem with your hopelessness and everyone perceives it 
But Jah lion shines bright in us and we only need to see it 
Jah lion is shining bright in us and all we need to do is reveal it
