Inspired by a dear friend who deserved a long holiday. Hope you enjoy this 4-minute invitation to relax and daydream.

An original composition, no AI,  written digitally MIDI to DAW. 

VST instruments: Synth guitars with echo and reverb, bass, harp, cellos, and "sailing" sounds with Latin and hip hop beats at a very chill 65 bpm.

Wrote a demo of this track in December 2022, but updated the track in February 2024 after adding “sailing" audio. 

Three of the five AUDIO files in Sailing Barcelona were recorded live of improvised water sounds — such as splashes caused by my cupped hand pushing through a bathtub of water or tapping a large metal bowl of water with metal spoon to simulate the pinging of rigging on a sailboat’s aluminum mast. Plus, I imported AUDIO of birdsong, wind, and wind chimes  recorded live in ATL via iPhone on the 8th and 28th of February, 2024. Sailing Barcelona offers a partially-manufactured ambience, but one made by a human.🤗

A QUOI SERT-IL CET USTENSILE
EN QUOI NOUS EST-IL UTILE?

C’EST JUSTE UN DEAL
UN PEU DÉBILE
UNE ARNAQUE MERCANTILE

COMBIEN ÇA COÛTE ET QU’EST-CE QUE ÇA RAPPORTE
PRENDRE LA ROUTE CLAQUER LA PORTE  
COMBIEN

QUEL TEMPS FAIT-IL À NASHVILLE
ICI IL NOUS PLEUT DES TUILES 
ET DE MÉNILMUCHE À BELLEVILLE
DE NOS AMOURS QUE RESTE-T-IL

QUOIQU’IL EN COUTE ET QUOI QUE ÇA RAPPORTE
CLAQUER LA ROUTE PRENDRE LA PORTE
COMBIEN ?

JE PRENDS LA ROUTE JE CLAQUE LA PORTE
MARCHE AVANT TOUTES ET QUE LE DIABLE M’EMPORTE
AU LOIN
COMBIEN ?

OUAIS MOI JE FILE JE ME DÉFILE
SOUS UN CIEL INDÉLÉBILE

DE VILLE EN VILLE
SANS DOMICILE
DIRECTION BLUEBERRY HILL

COUTE QUE COUTE SE FOUTRE À LA PORTE
TAILLER LA ROUTE Y’A QUE ÇA QUI RAPPORTE
COMBIEN

LE TEMPS NOUS FILE ENTRE LES CILS
EN LARMES DE CROCODILE

A QUOI SERT-IL CET USTENSILE
EN QUOI PUIS-JE VOUS ÊTRE UTILE?

ET LOIN DES VILLES HORS DES CHEMINS
FINIR TRANQUILLE VIVRE SA FIN
ENFIN

Phonix (2015) Anthology CD2 Track 09

"Johnny "delves into themes of auditory hallucinations, medication dependence, emotional turmoil, and a bleak outlook on life. The repeated references to voices and warnings in Johnny's head, combined with the desire for love and relief from tears, paint a poignant picture of someone grappling with severe mental health issues.

The structure of the song with its movements and changing tempos likely mirrors the chaotic and unpredictable nature of Johnny's experiences. The lyrics, with their repetitive and fragmented style, further emphasize the disorientation and distress that accompany mental illness.

In conclusion, "Johnny " appears to be a powerful exploration of the psychological and emotional challenges faced by individuals dealing with schizophrenia or similar conditions, told through evocative lyrics and musical dynamics.

“Johnny " is a song that delves into the intense struggles of a dear friend and Fabolous musician named Johnny who is battling with severe mental illness, possibly manic schizophrenia. The song's lyrics depict Johnny's experience of hearing voices, feeling constant warnings in his head, and grappling with existential fears. There is a recurring theme of medication dependency (referencing Serepax) and a desire to break free from it, seeking emotional healing and love instead. The song's structure includes introspective piano intros, reflective verses about inner turmoil, and an intensified second movement possibly symbolizing escalating distress. Overall, "Johnny " poignantly portrays the psychological turmoil and emotional complexity of living with severe mental health challenges.

feel like i can't even know what's real
i been out my head all along
i been out here skippin on meals
i been tryna right my wrongs
you found me when i wasn't strong
i know i can't do it all alone
Lord, save me from my ways
your light shining on my face
it's a blessing with your grace
sin be leading me astray
Lord, save me from my ways

Holding Out

🎸 Welcome to my musical journey! 🎶

Hey there, music enthusiasts! I'm Oz a hobbyist musician who's been strumming the strings of my guitar since my teenage years. Music has always been my passion, weaving its melodies through every chapter of my life. From the intricate rhythms of Oriental music to the rebellious energy of pop-punk, the timeless allure of blues, the groove of funk, and the nostalgia of electronic sounds from the '80s and '90s, I find inspiration in a diverse array of genres.

For me, music is more than just sound – it's a language of emotions, a canvas where I paint my feelings and experiences. The power of music to evoke and express emotions never ceases to amaze me. Being part of this vibrant community here on SoundCloud fuels my creative drive and pushes me to explore new sonic landscapes.

As the legendary Bob Marley once said, "One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain." So join me on this musical voyage, where we'll dive deep into the ocean of melodies and rhythms, sharing moments of joy, introspection, and everything in between.

Let's make some noise together! 🤘
