This song is a haunting exploration of the darker aspects of human nature, delving into the destructive power of unchecked desire, greed, and fear. Through intense and ominous lyrics, the song navigates the blurred lines between good and evil, manipulation and control, and the eternal struggle between light and darkness. The result is a thought-provoking and unsettling listen that invites you to confront the shadows within.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
They bite the fingers you feed
Let them bite down; there's something you need
Let them consume you
We have the power we need to catalyze the consumption of greed 

[Verse 2]
Death needs not cometh from here
It's for a living
No one is forgiven all these years later
Catalyzing the consumption of fear 

[Chorus]
This is the part where you squeal
I want to hear
That you want it
You need it
This is a thrill for me
It's so easy--just feed it 

[Verse 3]
Bait her; throw it down in front of her
As you get closer
Tie her
She'll come to you like a moth to a flame
Elevate you like a liar 

[Verse 4]
This arm struggles with dark craft
Once tended carefully
(beautiful things) the bigger it grows
Forever, it lasts
While the other lay in shadow
He stands to cast 

[Bridge]
I know that we can die upon and end
But honey
We can live it down a good one
I know that we spit it when we make the entrance
But now it's time to out
It's time to end this

The 2025 remastered tracks are being readied for my best of 2025 album in 2026, available January 2026.
I do not use AI on any of my work, just blood sweat and tears, and a lot of emotion/feelings. The reason I have so much music on SC is that I love making music and it is my life. Also I love to share my work with you all, please enjoy.
Have recently discovered some old tracks which I did back in 2009 but have never been previously released or worked on further. Decided to let them see the light of day, unedited and unpolished. Hope you enjoy them and can see where my humble beginnings started.

Happy New Year to all my followers, May 2025 be filled with musical magic.

All my remastered best tunes from 2015 to 2023 are now available to buy on Bandcamp.
Am back to making regular music now but sorry no Christmas songs this year. This time of year is very hard for me as it is when my father became very ill and died in the new year 2010. I still miss him very much but hope he would be proud of my musical journey, he is my number one inspiration.
Just a quick personal note on AI and music. I think it is not a good thing for the creative side of music and a lot of it comes without feelings or soul. Creativity is a gift, and should be greatly valued, cherished and nurtured. Music is what makes us human and can never be replaced by a computer.
Finished remastering up to and including 2023 now. Has been a mammoth task but well worth the effort. Next year I shall be working on a remastered series of my pre KORG days 2000 to 2008, in 8 volumes, as well as celebrating in style my 10 years of KRONOS magic, can't wait for 2025.

Have recently been rediscovering some of my older music pre KORG days and remastering for uploading to my cloud. Hope you like. Seems such a long time ago now.
I have been lucky to have music in my life, and now the time to explore how it can affect other people. I have discovered many new talented artists on SC and am happy to encourage and support their work; from small beginnings come great things. Please be inspired to be your best, inspire others too, encourage those who lack the inner courage to move forward, and together we can make music make a difference in all our lives.
Am spending a lot more time on my music now since retiring from work in July 2020. Always learning new techniques and honing my craft. Am comfortable now with all chord sequences throughout the scales 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. 
Please 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!!  
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.  Been writing and producing music now for 40 years plus. Specialised in electronic based orchestral compositions. I have created my own genre which I call 'electrorchestration'.

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here. Especially for some of the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course, I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. 

Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently. 

I hope you enjoy some of my songs. And thanks so much to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support. ❤️

💖✨ Untiring Tiger, I started to tell my Chronicles in 2014, here on Soundcloud, evolving into different musical spheres (Deep House /// Chillout/Ambient/Progressive Trance  /// Trance Upbeat /// Techno) until I started to go Downtempo in 2015, creating the genre I called Ethno Deep, unable to tag properly my mixes. I don't "play" downtempo, I create it on my decks. A part of me lives here, telling and sharing ShAnkAri's Chronicles, flowing mystic... 🙏🏽🎵💜✨

Today, I remix Hip-Hop/Rap//Pop adding my Downtempo touch : callin' it #Rapnotech and crafting dj mixes with them (seed has been sowed, some copycats already popped out, that's how the story goes)
1/ No profit done, except if we officially collab and you wanna put the remix on sale. No monetized account. 
2/ I give credits : composers come first ; whatever I do is an echo and a tribute to their creativity.
(You want me to put smthg down, please message me, will do ! 😉🤝 )

I make music everyday, from 2 to 10am, home. When it's a mix, it's a gingerly curated acoustic experience, followed with its meticulously crafted visual storytelling, composed of anonymous artworks that I collect and that you can watch on my YouTube channel...

✨✨✨

Next to what, I'm an astrologer, don't hesitate to message me, astrology being the single key to understand what Reality is, and how it works. 

The highest degree of consciousness one can reach inside Reality is to know that what is called Consciousness is actually fully driven by the stars. Mind is the Witness of the Experience that is a lifetime.  

"Know yourself" means : go to an astrologer and let them read your Birth Sky, that contains your Settings, and the Script of this path in Time that you call your Life. It's your monad's Karma. Astrologer has nothing else to propose. Since there's nothing else to get. 

Welcome with any question 👐🏽☸️💜🎵✨


Namaste, Anne-Aude B. aka ShAnkAri 🌿🌺🎨🎵💜🍃
