Bells Tome

Song with a mysterious message

Wisecrack

Somebody's son

Thots And Prayers

Today's prompt was to start with the bassline and build it up from there. Well, the electronic artist who writes the coolest basslines I know is Bluetech, so I thought it would be fun to sketch out a track in his style. With a little development it might even be convincing 🤣

Today's Beat "The Obscured Clouds" 2025-01-29 (JAMuary 29)

This track was written by myself and my best friend, Ruth Anne Pollard who has a soundcloud channel of her own, https://soundcloud.com/ruth-anne-1. 

We wrote this song as a dedication to ourselves and to many others out there who have put much of our own feelings aside in order to be there for the ones around us who are less empathetic and less likely to reciprocate. These unrecognized feelings that we struggle to speak about can start to build up within us and come to the surface, causing those around us to question who we are because we have essentially been forced to wear a mask for so long.

Musically this song was inspired by Chariots of Fire by Vangelis, particularly in the verses 

Nobody knows the things we do
For the ones we love
Nobody knows

Nobody cares
But we keep on trying not to lose hope 
Nobody knows

When you're dying to release
What no one will let you speak
And you choose words carefully
Nobody knows

Nobody knows my defenses died, falling from me
Now all I need is you to want me to be fine
Nobody knows how I've lived this lie, buried beneath
Knowing the truth can be worse sometimes

Nobody hears, nobody listens
When you're trying to tell them who you are

They pay you no mind
When you try to be open 
And It's clear all the time
You never receive anything you provide

When you're dying to release
What no one will let you speak
And you choose words carefully
Nobody knows 

Nobody knows my defenses died, falling from me
Now all I need is you to want me to be fine
Nobody knows how I've lived this lie, buried beneath
Knowing the truth can be worse sometimes

Nobody knows my defenses died, falling from me
Now all I need is you to want me to be fine
Nobody knows how I've lived this lie, buried beneath
Knowing the truth can be worse sometimes

Nobody Knows

"The Light Inside" is an uplifting pop song inspired by Buddhist philosophy, specifically the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path. It tells the story of self-discovery and personal transformation, as the protagonist navigates the challenges of life and searches for inner peace. The lyrics reflect the realization that suffering is a universal part of life but that through understanding, compassion, and mindful action, one can rise above it.

The song emphasizes letting go of attachments and negative emotions, cultivating love and wisdom, and walking a path of ethical behavior, mindfulness, and spiritual focus. Each step on this journey brings clarity and freedom, guiding the listener toward a state of inner harmony and joy. Ultimately, the song is a celebration of the resilience of the human spirit and the power of the light that exists within each of us.



[Verse 1]
There's a storm in my soul, shadows whispering low,  
Searching for answers in places unknown.  
The truth calls out, it’s crystal clear,  
Through the pain, there's a path right here.  

[Pre-Chorus]
Let go of the chains that bind,  
The craving, the endless grind.  
Step by step, find the way,  
To rise above the gray.  

[Chorus]
So I'll walk the path, I'll chase the dawn,  
Eight steps to find where I belong.  
Through love and wisdom, rise and shine,  
The Four Noble Truths, the light inside.  

[Verse 2]
Every word that I say, every move I make,  
I'll hold to kindness, for others' sake.  
A mindful heart, a steady hand,  
Climbing higher, where peace will stand.  

The whispers fade, the silence grows,  
Through the stillness, the truth it shows.  
With courage and strength, I’ll find,  
Freedom for the heart and mind.  

[Chorus]
So I'll walk the path, I'll chase the dawn,  
Eight steps to find where I belong.  
Through love and wisdom, rise and shine,  
The Four Noble Truths, the light inside.  

[Bridge]
In the quiet, I see the way,  
Through the suffering, joy will stay.  
Let compassion light the fire,  
Take me higher, take me higher!  

[Outro]
So I'll walk the path, I'll chase the dawn,  
With the light inside, I'll carry on.  
Through love and wisdom, rise and shine,  
The Four Noble Truths, the light inside.
