Don't Give Up

Make Me Smile

Writing for me is therapy, relaxation. A time to put the world and its bullshit aside as well as get away from myself. So my stuff comes out somewhat relaxing, laid back, I suppose, which doesn't describe me at all but it's in there somewhere. The title is in reference to how life, not just humans, but all life came to be on Earth which is an incredible story.

This is a song in response to a Drum Track that Ava from .spinthedrum made, some time ago.. the original was just guitars... Wilfried Hanrath(W:I:L-o'-the wisp) recently added a 
 very interesting bass line and a synth track.. I very much like the addition and am proud to present this new "Bisquits and Tea..

This is an old DROWNING DOLPHINS classic from the 90s, released on the mini LP "Tears never shed". Lyrics by Hauke Meyer. Thanks for the attention!

Don´t try to understand
This simple sentiment
I tried and had to fail
And this is not a tale

Do you believe in hate?
You surely will – just wait!
Do you believe in love?
You should believe in hurt
I know it sounds absurd

Are you looking for goodness?
Come to the other side
No matter what you try –
Here you´ll never find it

Are you heading for good times?
Come to the other side
No matter how long you wait
Here you´ll never find it

Do you believe in hate?
You surely will – just wait!
Do you believe in love?
You should believe in hurt
I know it sounds absurd

Are you looking for goodness?
Come to the other side
No matter what you try –
Here you´ll never find it

Are you looking for goodness?
Come to the other side
No matter what you try –
Here you´ll never find it

Are you heading for good times?
Come to the other side, come to the other side

Forever

Other Side   ft. STEPHANIE BARBUTOVA

Hello. Hope you’re all relatively okay, especially now in the world. I see I am in a winter lull musically. My focus is drawn away by bitter cold weather from a recent polar vortex and also, by what is happening in the world right now. Earlier in the week, it was -22F (-30C) one night. That’s fairly cold for the end of February. With the cold, there came a fair amount of snow and strong winds. I found myself outside shoveling snow and enjoying the balmy -10 temps. As I was shoveling, I noticed 3 deer beds in the fresh snow by the aspens, a short distance from the compost pile. When I finally shoveled back to the compost pile, I saw the deer had feasted on some old garden squash I had recently composted. Apparently deer like squash. Good to know, as there is only so much squash an old man like me can eat. Last night I tossed some smaller garden carrots back there for the deer and rabbits. By the time I got back inside my beard had already frozen. Anyway, this song is my way to work through some shit about my family, and by extension the world right now. Guess I am not a happy camper at the moment. For the most part all of the lyrics are ‘true’, but they are also painted by a Zeitgeist of how I saw things go down. The song is also a vehicle of catharsis, as I work to render out the last vestiges of resentment I may still have toward all this happy horseshit. (I laughed while recording this.) I can only hope the world finds its sanity, as I have given up hope for my family ever finding theirs… Thank you for dropping by. Take care, Mark … oh I apologize for dumping the last 5 months of songs off my page… they needed to go away. Haha.

Garden
By David Husted

V1
Never living; feel the knock of the branch
Crack the window of a heart in despair
Happiness on deferred payment plans 
Future occurrence, might inherit

Say it's a habit just
mental acrobatics just
Flip your world around and be

Happiness just because, period
Not happiness that always needs a 

Ch
"Because of" …….
"Happiness" …….

V2
Love

Plant the garden and the weeds still come up
Life's not easy  but you've got to respond 
fill it up throw that bucket of dung
Soak the ground and hope some seeds will come up

Open up slowly
And crowd out the lowly mess of 
Thoughts in my head I conceive  

Happiness just because, period
Not happiness that always needs a 

"Because of" …….
"Happiness" …….

Bridge
There a real fine line between death and fear
What's your working definition of ….absurdity
Two steps forward and one step back
It can feel like our whole world might be under attack

What you lack, like an axe coming down
Juggernaut, endless wheel round n round
Figure out, 
Make It Stop
Loosen Up


Instrumental

Ch and Outro

"Because of" ……
"Happiness, Happiness Now
"Happiness, Happiness, Happiness Now

Entenfang - Where the Water Knows

Jonathan Beckenstein: Guitars, bass, musical composition and mix http://soundcloud.com/jonathan_beckenstein
Clarence Paisley-Cheesemont: Drums
Wheelwright: Vocals, vocal melody, lyrics and sampled cello

This track is available on Immaculate Distraction https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com/album/immaculate-distraction

I am a great admirer of Jonathan's work and when he approached me with this wonderful piece of music asking if I might have a go at lyrics and a vocal I felt really privileged. I wanted to try to do as good a job as I could, but initially I struggled, and then, feeling extremely despondent I took a break from it. On my second attempt I think I started to listen properly to what the music was saying – rather than imposing too much of myself on it – and I  began to get melodies and word patterns that seemed like they were there under the surface already.

This has been an amazing project to work on, and Jonathan has been hugely supportive throughout. I've done my bit for sure, but it would have been nothing without the music.

Jonathan's posting of the song is here:

Last night I dreamed that I could play the guitar
I was on The Titanic trying to sing
My heart will still go on
But I kept getting it wrong and
I couldn't get the high notes but
At least we hadn't hit the iceberg yet and

All the stars above us shone
Like cheap sequins in the sky
Like they'd all just been stuck on
By someone who didn't try

I was studying Kate Winslet
She was standing by a ventilation inlet
In a girly dress despite the cold and
I could see that she was not impressed
By my extraordinary rendition
I said you're looking nice and
I need relationship advice and she replied
Let's take a walk on the starboard side

And the stars above us shone
Like cheap sequins in the sky
Like they'd all just been stuck on
By someone who didn't try
When life's too flattering too sweet
We all like to pretend
But we all know how it ends

We're listing to port and
Kate's politely listening as
I'm listing all the things I should have said to you but
Never did
And realistically I think she's thinking
Less about you and me and
Rather more about the fact that
We've all started sinking yeah
Into the unforgiving sea oh

But the stars above us shone...

We All Know How It Ends (Wheelwright + Beckenstein)

It is winter, snow is falling. 
So secretly was the whole world.
Beloved, soft, silent snow.
The forests are dreaming of snow.
The world is muffled.
Until the snowball fight breaks the silence.
and then dies away.

Instruments used:

- Audiaire / ZONE
- Sonic Acadamy / ANA 2
- Sample Science/ SQ8ROM
- Arturia / Pigments
- waldorf / Nave
- Arturia / Prophet V3
- Korg / Wavestation
- u-he / ZEBRA

Es ist Winter, Schnee fällt. 
So heimlich ward die ganze Welt.
Geliebter, weicher, leiser Schnee.
Die Wälder träumen vom Schnee umschmiegt.
Die Welt gedämpft.
Bis die Schneeballschlacht die Stille bricht
und dann versiegt.

Mellow

Music's got a hold of me.
I am also half of Fictive Sisters https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com

I have a soundcloud manifesto too (I know almost no one cares):
(1) I do not want to win at soundcloud
(2) I respect people who listen by trying to do work that is as good as I can make it but I may attempt (and possibly fail badly at) different kinds of music so you will probably find some of my tracks suck quite badly even if you like others
(3) If I follow you please feel no obligation to follow me back or to listen to my tracks because I know different people like different things
(4) If you follow me please don’t expect me automatically to follow you back because as I said different people like different things. I try to listen to most new uploads of the people I do follow, so there are only so many people I can meaningfully follow (and only so many reposts I can cope with) at any one time before it all gets a bit overwhelming
(5) If I add a track of yours to my likes that means I particularly like it and if I comment on a track that means I really did want to communicate something. I do not do these things expecting or wanting anything in return or fishing for listeners/followers etc.
(6) Soundcloud (still) can be wonderful and has wonderful people in its universe but some aspects of it do my head in and so I am putting this out here so everyone knows where I am coming from. This is not intended as criticism of anyone else, it is just what works for me
