When I woke up it was like a Sunday

The sun was shining it was bright everywhere

I poured a drink

And I found my keys yeah

I hopped inside and I head out there

I found a place where I can fit easy

Try to squeeze my juice out of my day

I make a few dollars in my pocket

And late at night

I like to throw them away

I went out late last night for Sunday

But then I took the light rail and got high

I found a place where I can be easy

I found a place where I can come alive

So I went out pretty late last night

I went out

Last night

I slowly watched her try to entertain herself

Sitting in the corner

From across the room

I could feel myself swiftly move towards her

Hair smelled like perfume and her figure was juicy

I had a Peach Optimo said

Lets go chief

We hopped in my ride outfront and we rolled up

My windows is tinted

I dont give a Fuck

(Because in the streets it's cold)

And everybody got to get love quick

Because if they don't then they know they going to get love sick

I ain't got time

To waste on you

I ain't got time

To waste on you

I ain't got time

To waste on you

I ain't got time

To waste on you

So I went out pretty late last night

And I found out that I was right

That everywhere you go you find

Another you inside that light

So I went out pretty late last night

I Found a place where it was right

I found a drink that tasted nice

And I found out that you were right

And I went out pretty late last night

And I found out that I was right

I Went Out Last Night

Written when I had just turned 15 (1982). I had forgotten about it but someone found a tape of me singing it back then. I then purchased a  MacBook in 2020 and decided to record it as a learning exercise/demofor using GarageBand. Naive and simple, but an innocent song for challenging times.
Lyrics:

John the fisherman 

They call me John the fisherman 
And I can be seen every day
Working and risking my life as a fisherman 
Sailing out on the waves

I live in a cottage on a cliff, 
I never move far from the sea
I live on fish and homegrown peas
And sleep with a bible close to me

The only things I respect in my world
Are god and the sea 
For they both have claimed the lives of many who meant so much to me
(I say) I never fall in love any more
I’ve been hurt too many times
 (I tell them) I know all loves pitfalls 
I’ll leave that game to the fools! 

They call me John the fisherman 
They say that I’m so hard to please
I disagree with war and many policies 
And dislike people who criticise me

All my friends and family have long since gone
And I’m left with memories 
Some say I’m mad because I talk to myself 
It’s only because I’m lonely 

I wish I had someone to love
Someone to share my life
Someone to talk to on the cold winter nights
And cheer me as I grow old
I wish that I had grandchildren 
Who would smile and sit on my knee
I’d tell them stories of my life and would love them dearly 

They call me John the fisherman and I can be seen every day
Working and risking my life as a fisherman 
Sailing out on the waves

(Hymn to the sea) 
The sea provides but takes away 
It’s power demands respect
Our care and love are ours to give
To guard and to protect 

Our thoughts and prayers are offered up
For those at risk each day 
To feed us all, may they be safe
Working on the waves

Best with headphones
Also, volume's a little low so crank it up a bit

Of All The Beautiful Faces

This is a much more flamengo-style arrangement of Lavemonos Los Dientes, kindly created by Dan after he added a guitar to the original arrangement.

Yo queria besarte locamente, sentir la eternidad en cada instante,
el espacio infinito localmente, en cada rincon ver tu semblante,
mirar tu semblante.
Ni todo es capaz de enamorarse, ni de todo se enamora el capaz.
Pero en este momento transcendente,
en que sueno besarte a cada instante,
una sola cosa es importante:
Si nos vamos a besar, lavemonos los dientes.
Ni todo es capaz de enamorarse, ni de todo se enamora el capaz.
Yo queria besarte localmente.
Si nos vamos a besar, lavemonos los dientes.

Lavemonos Los Dientes (Dan Van den Berg Arrangement)

This sound "Introduction" has a special soul.
This is the sound produced by my friends Genesis 12 teamwork chemistry. Mastered by Grammy Award-winning Chris Gehringer (Senior Mastering Engineer).
Chris complimented the sound so much that it gave him confidence.

Anybody else prevented from accessing SC servers via VPN?  All of them are blocked for me.  This is the first time it happens to me in six or seven years of almost daily SoundCloud activity.  I use a VPN in SC because when I don't I get horrible delays that show up in many different ways.  The only explanation I have found is that somehow their security/identification system has flagged my IP address and introduced all kinds of speed bumps.  It makes the experience very unpleasant, irritating.

Why was Jonathan Bellot's account
[https://soundcloud.com/jonathanbellot] deleted?
...

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
Sorry Joe. =(

sometime in 2025:
I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
