Just some fun with my little friend, the Korg Electribe.
Picture is of my darling German Shepherd, Cocoa, on her 7th birthday.  We gave her a chicken meatball with a candle in it.  She is a prime example of Brute Tenderness :D

Brute Tenderness

Music, vocals, mastering: Tulipe Records @tulipe-records
Vocal: Amanda Sanderson @phoebeelena
Lyrics: Dominique Briand

A huge thank you to Tulipe and Amanda for doing such a wonderful job on this song!!

This song is about a woman who falls in love with her best friend when he sees nothing but a buddy in her. She tries to keep her heart silent.

Lyrics
You never knew
You haven't seen
That you were more
But more than what
More than you
More for me

Chorus
Shut up my heart
This guy's not for you
Please shut up my heart
This guy doesn't want you
And why is that? I don't know. 
But why? You don't know

When you saw him
You've lost your mind
He didn't see
He was more for you
How could he?
Would you have told?

Chorus
Shut up my heart
This guy's not for you
Please shut up my heart
This guy doesn't want you.
And why is that? I don't know
But why? You don't know

I’ve lost nothing
But I'm lost
Yet I'm dying
You make me mad
What am'I to you?
Not even me

Chorus
Shut up my heart
This guy's not for you
Please shut up my heart
This guy doesn't want you
And why is that? I don't know
But why? You don't know

That’s how it is
And no longer asking
Just forget him, please forget him
Take his buddy, just his buddy
That's all he can give
That's all he wants to give

and be grateful

The Buddy (Tulipe Record - Feat Amanda Sanderson)

And thanks again to @jon-lock-5 for offering this classic tune for collaboration with me:)

The Man Who Sold The World(Bowie Collab. with Jon Lock)Remixed by Michael Ash Sharbaugh

This one was developed and recorded one afternoon about a year ago with Jose (the Problem) when no one was thinking about mics or recording quality or nuthin', and I can’t really remember what we did. I opened it back up a few weeks ago and did a little editing. But it was basically live. I was playing v-drums somewhere back there with a little speaker, while Jose played piano with at least one mic. We may have added the vocals separately. I don’t know. I just don’t know.

Tales From a Midnight Bucket
                            Janine Levinson & Jose Freitas

It pours on me from a midnight bucket somewhere in my chest
Getting cold, maybe tears, maybe oil, maybe blood
I don't know

It hounds me so from a twisted chair squeaking as it rocks
Burn my ears, maybe cries, maybe songs, maybe pleading
I don't know

Just my black heart, my injured soul
No place for love   
No place for hope
It’s me and my black soul  

It gets a hold: a wire machine with poison in the gears
Bitter oil, maybe pitch, maybe tar, maybe grease
I don't know

It’s underneath my parchment skin and worms its way to light
Maybe bugs, maybe hair, maybe bone, maybe bile 
I don’t know

Just my black heart, my injured soul
No place for love   
No place for hope
It’s me and my black soul     
ooooooooh!

Strings of tar
Rising twister helpless in the rancid air
Cataract stars 
Fraying leather 
Helpless in the rancid air

It shoots in me a spear of ice freezing in my chest
Getting cold, maybe tears, maybe soil, maybe gone
I don't know  

It undermines my blistered soles and forces me to crawl
Maybe dirt, maybe worms, maybe flesh, maybe gold 
I don’t know 

Just my black heart, my injured soul
No place for love   
No place for hope
It’s me and my black soul

Sintasia - 2. Incantation

This song is based on an original idea by Jeff Buckley and Liz Fraser. Sadly it was never finished or properly recorded in his lifetime. Bethany and I thought that the song deserved to be completed and so we set out to do just that.

The full band version of this song can be found on Bethany's SC profile:

https://soundcloud.com/bethanygraceuk/all-flowers-in-time-bend-towards-the-sun

This version is the Acoustic Mix.

There were so many great performances from the musicians involved that we really thought it would be great to really hear the quieter instruments in their own setting. Not only does it give yet another take on the song but it also allows you to really hear the beautiful vocals once again.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it.

“Only Love” Lyrics (by Ryan Madison)

The tides are changing and
Our lives are endangered
We're running out of options
What are you going to do?

Hook (x2):
Only love can conquer hate
That's what we need today
Make your mind up
Take off your blinders
Only love can conquer hate
If we fight, that's our mistake
No time for silence
Peace over violence

Verse 1:
Wars and treaties, no cause for bleeding
Disagreements, that's a careless reason
We're training up killers with games for the youth
Fingers are itching, and triggers consume
Surely, there's something embedded in you
If we dig deep, we can find out the Truth,
the Way, the Life; Love paid the price
The stakes are getting higher
Hatred burning like a fire
Time's reaching a finale
Only love can make a rally
Redemption; perdition
Your choice; no contingent
It's grudge or forgiveness;
Let love be your witness
There's no way we can live like this; 
No way, no way
Destruction, division; we're face to face
and now everything we do from here
 will make or break
'Cause I want to live free not just in my dreams
Change got to happen, we can't stay passive
It's time for some action, 
let's take hatred captive
There's no way we can live like this;
no way, no way, no way
'Cause kids are starving, people heartless
Something's got to change

REPEAT Hook (x2):

Verse 2:
Those that hate with their soul they will pay; they'll pay
The price will be more than they gave away
 to delay
And on that day, they'll find out the mistakes
they made
'Cause living without love is not for a human
There's no way we can live like this; 
No way, no way
Destruction, division; we're face to face
and now everything we do from here
 will make or break
'Cause I want to live free not just in my dreams
Change got to happen, we can't stay passive
It's time for some action, 
let's take hatred captive
There's no way we can live like this;
no way, no way, no way
'Cause kids are starving, people heartless
Something's got to change

REPEAT Hook (x2):

Only Love

Only Love (feat. Ryan Madison)

A track from the album Time and Tide, available on Bandcamp
amandasanderson.bandcamp.com/album/time-and-tide

Lyrics, music, mixing, production: Verulium
https://verulium.bandcamp.com/releases
Vocals: Amanda Kim Sanderson

Selene, the goddess of the moon 
Mercurial and hewn 
From ashen rays of afterglow 

High, presiding through the night 
Her veil of silver light 
Cascading over all we know 

Deep in my subconciousness 
Arcadia survives 

In the dismal days of 
Emptiness 
We try to turn the tide 

Before my eyes 
The truth in a strange disguise 
So I ran and I ran 
But the future had a plan 
To catch me out 

If you attune 
To the phasing of the moon 
Like chasing a ghost 
From the pillar to the post 
It wears you down 

Turn the tide 
By leaving the past behind 
Buried in the sands of time 

So in the end 
The phasing wins again 
Come the dark, come the dawn 
Come the chasm of the morn 
It wears you down 

Turn the tide 
By leaving the past behind 
Buried in the sands of time
