been chewing on this bitter pill for so long
but it's a jawbreaker
well all that I did wrong was let myself get strung along
it's too easy to make excuses for a faker

but I do you the favor, forget your bad behavior 
we'll just chalk it up to my failure to see

you were a crazymaker, a bomb about to crater
I was looking for a savior, shame on me
shame on me
shame on me
shame on me

and I'm the easy thing you reach for
when you need something to hold
yes I know what's good for me
I just pay no mind
and time and time again it gets so old

but I just do you the favor, forget your bad behavior 
we'll just chalk it up to my failure to see
you were a crazymaker, a bomb about to crater
I was looking for a savior, shame on me
shame on me
shame on me
shame on me

knowin' I've been taken for a ride but
takin' the ride anyway
what will happen when the bomb goes off?
will I find another reason to stay?

I do you the favor, forget your bad behavior 
we'll just chalk it up to my failure to see
you were a crazymaker, a bomb about to crater
I was looking for a savior, shame on me
shame on me
shame on me
shame on me

Tulipe est le surnom que ma mère m'avait donné quand j'étais enfant.
La musique de Tulipe est très variée, du rock au blues en passant par le  psychédélique et bien plus encore

Thanks for visiting. This is a retro eclectic music mix with a strong keyboard base.  Looming influences from among others Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Lou Reed & Jon Lord. 

I am always looking for a guitar player that wants to collaborate. Would be fun to find a real drummer also.

A Gat is a cat in Catalan - it all makes sense if you’re me.

To all of you likers and reposters that don't listen - what's the point?

Latest Updates: 
Saturday 6th August - Went to see Sarah Millican in Llandudno, so funny had a great evening.
Sunday 31st July - Went to see 'Calling Planet Earth' show in LLandudno. Was excellent, lots of 80's tunes we all know and love. They are currently on tour in UK please check these guys out if you can.
Posting some videos of my bike rides along the coast in North Wales on YOUTUBE, please drop by for a look. (Link below)
Sunday 17th July - finally went to see Jools Holland in Llandudno. It was an amazing show. Another box ticked.
Have recently been rediscovering some of my teenage favourite records of 'Northern Soul' from my days at the Wigan Casino. Nostalgia is a wonderful thing.
Saddened and shocked that Andy Fletcher of Depeche Mode has died. He loved electronic music. Another pioneer of electronic music gone to the great concert in the sky.
Sad loss to all with the death of Vangelis an epic electronic music pioneer. He has been an inspiration to many including myself over the years.
Recently went to see Jasper Carrott who is touring with Bev Bevan of ELO/Black Sabbath fame (drummer) and his band. Was a fabulous show with lots of old favourites. 
Still enjoying my bike rides every couple of days or so. 
The Tangerine Dream concert in Manchester was awesome. A lifetime of inspiration from these guys and still making music matter. 2 hours 30 minutes of pure magic from the early days right up to the new.
Have been to a couple of concerts recently first since the lockdown; Aussie Pink Floyd and Public Service Broadcasting. Is great to experience live music again. I have also been revisiting some of my old 'Magician' music from the early 2000's and attempting to revamp on the KORG.
Am spending a lot more time on my music now that I have retired from work. Always learning new techniques and honing my craft. Am comfortable now with all chord sequences throughout the scale and loving improvising with the help of my mighty KORG still. Am still trying to give my full support and encouragement to all SC users and some latest (you know who you are), are developing nicely. Be good to one another, be gracious to others, leave your ego out of your life and above all else remember there is always someone worse off than yourself. 
2021 is the year to be kind to each other, to be happy with our lot without jealousy or greed; to give without asking the cost; to love as if there is no tomorrow; to share and inspire others who may be less fortunate than us; most of all to enjoy life for the joy of living, for we know not what the morning brings - stay safe my friends, be strong and always stay positive; remember life changes - DON'T let it change you!! 
2020 was a difficult year for most of us but what kept me going was my music and those real friends around me who recognized those talents and supported me throughout, thank you to you all. Let us hope that 2021 will be much better and we can once again mix and party with our friends. 
Tracks available to download on all major streaming services including Apple Music, Deezer, and Spotify. Full albums available from Bandcamp.
Music is my life - has helped me through many dark places, is a big part of who I am. I put my heart and soul into every single piece of music I produce. I have found many wonderful friends on SC and many exciting talented people. 
All remastering done through LANDR application.

My sounds were born because I was tired of (not) listening to what the media were offering, since the mid-90s, without paying any attention to the quality of the music.
I don't define myself as a musician, but a sound craftsman who, thanks to new technologies, enjoys experimenting with notes and sounds, and through SoundCloud I put myself to the test.
I thank all those who listen to me, but especially those who follow me.

Weaving thoughtful, introspective lyrics with irresistible melodies, Vanessa Peters has been releasing album after album of well-crafted folk/rock gems for more than a decade. She has played over 1000 shows across the US and Europe and has recently opened for artists like Josh Rouse, 10,000 Maniacs, John Oates, Matthew Sweet, Mikaela Davis, Lucette, and Horse Feathers.  2019 also saw her profile raise on the national music scene when she was invited to perform on NPR's Mountain Stage and at Americana Fest. Her latest album, "Foxhole Prayers" (Idol Records) received stellar reviews; MOJO gave the album 4 stars, proclaiming that "her songs have the intensity of short stories; gut-punching, laconic" and No Depression says that "her instantly accessible songs—a mix of gorgeous ballads and well-hooked rockers—come loaded with pensive, clever lyrics." Dallas music critic Jeremy Hallock wrote that she is "a brilliant songwriter with a literary quality that makes her songs comparable to short stories. Vanessa Peters is Dallas’s Aimee Mann." She's been a well-kept secret in Texas for many years, and the rest of the world is finally starting to take notice.

“All in all a lovely album. There are plenty of skilled musicians and exceptional vocalists around but not so many as lyrically adept as Vanessa Peters.”
- Americana UK

“The singer-songwriter’s fifth full-length, the album’s rich with intimate observations and relaxed, natural musicianship even on exuberant anthems such as “Grateful.” Her writing and unaffected deliver evokes Aimee Mann as well as the Weakerthans’ John K. Samson”
- David Greenwald, music critic for the Oregonian

“Hooks a-plenty…there isn’t a bad track on the record. I defy anyone with an ear for a catchy melody sung in a beautiful, rich, and completely engaging voice not to be enamoured with this baby.” (8 of 10 stars)
– Americana UK

“Vanessa Peters and ICOM’s “Sweetheart, Keep Your Chin Up” may well be my 2009 disc of the year.”
– Hickory Wind (USA)

“Vanessa is a true poet and a brilliant singer/songwriter”
– Rootsville (BE)

“the best kind of singer-songwriter”
– The Dallas Observer

“a true poet … tunes that move and delight the ears”
– Whisperin’ and Hollerin’ (UK)

“This is the record I’ve been waiting for Aimee Mann to make for years”
– Heartache with Hardwork

“Peters gets it right … reminiscent of Suzanne Vega and Beth Orton”
– Maverick Magazine (UK)

“The album shows a wonderful mix of folk, Americana and alt-country of the highest level…both instrumentally and lyrically, this album is one of her best creations.”
- Rootstime (Belgium)
