Great performance vocal, nice collaboration !

hey man, this is a wonderful song you all have created. brilliant music under your soaring vocals. great work to both!

///  Lillithe --- This Is The Moment - Lillithe & Paploviante ///

This is a cover song that Rekha and I did.  It's a Carpenters track and we held on to most of the original arrangement but took some creative license otherwise 

For me the Carpenters are like John Denver or the 80's hair metal scene - something I enjoy but don't tell just a whole lot of people about.   Doing this one was Rekha's idea and I think she nailed it.   This track is brought to life by her killer performance.  

There's a guitar intro to this thing here.

Another note - I personally want to dedicate this track to my good friend and synth-master Steve Fullyard (@steve-fullyard) who married his lovely bride K very recently. I wish them both all the happiness they can handle.

Cover of We've Only Just Begun by the Carpenters
Songwriters: Paul Williams / Roger Nichols
Made popular by the Carpenters
Vocals - Rekha Iyern [Fe]

Lyrics
We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
(We've only begun)
Before the risin' sun, we fly
So many roads to choose
We'll start out walkin' and learn to run
(And yes, we've just begun)
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watchin the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
(And yes, we've just begun)
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watchin' the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together
Together
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes, we've just begun

We've Only Just Begun - w/ Rekha

This song is meant to feel a little off kilter. It represents my core concerns about *points to pretty much everything*. But I hope it also gives a sense of someone standing tall, and showing strength and courage in the face of the many hands pushing them down.

I’ve been wondering how the final chapter of this ‘Siren’ trilogy would play out. I knew I would know when the time arrived… and it just did. 

The final chapter turns out to be the story of one of my amazing daughters; and her bravery in the face of a dark moment.

Today a stranger entered my daughter’s work space (an ‘open campus’ college), and began helping himself to things laying around the office (packages, books, and other things of potential value)… He did this in front of everyone onsite, acting aggressive when questioned, and had a bulge under his shirt that unfortunately looked like he might be carrying a gun or other possible weapon (this is not confirmed; just suspected).

Have you ever experienced a moment when your instincts screamed ’this just turned dangerous!!’ This was the visible mood of every employee who was paying attention. Tension (and fears) rose immediately.

And here’s where the moment of truth happens…

Several of the employees were on their way out of the office to attend a meeting (most were grateful for the excuse to leave). But my daughter (also expected to be at the meeting, and uncomfortably tagging along) realized things were not sitting well with her. She couldn’t help but feel like she was leaving the others in danger. And in a moment of loving clarity… she ran back to the other co-workers… to make sure everyone was ok.

Now if that isn’t an act of selfless courage, I don’t know what is. A genuine peek into a person’s true character… when the cards are on the table. And I am so profoundly honored that she is my daughter.

Both of my daughters have grown into unbelievably special women; both have so much to offer this world. They stay strong, in the face of all the rapidly resurfacing oppression. And they do this on the days when I can’t. I admire them more than words can describe.

Folks, I just want to present the possibility that not seeing women as equals (from the very beginning) is perhaps the original shortcoming of the human race. And currently, we’re getting a painful insight into just how those archaic thinkers plan to keep things running into the future. Something in ‘civilization’ prioritized brute strength and control over love and compassion; and that might prove to be our downfall. But it is also something we can still correct.

For the time being, women will remain elevated even more so in my eyes. You will always have my respect for everything you have endured, while somehow continuing to be the loving voices we all need right now. 

I hope you enjoy the finale of my Siren trilogy… ‘Siren’s Epiphany’ :)

C’MON BREAK IT MAN

I’M IN AN ALTITUDE ATTITUDE
I EAT SPIRITUAL FOOD
AND I SHIT IN THE WOODS

WE’LL BE DROWNED SOON YOU WILL SEE
THAT’S IF WE SURVIVE THE WAR
BUT IT WOULD TAKE SO MUCH MORE

Good afternoon my SC friends. This year, I thought it might be fun to share some of the brain rebooting information I’ve discovered over the years that helped me navigate life a little easier. So if you like the idea of following along with these liner notes, you’ll want to watch this video first (about 1 minute... Selective Attention Test video: https://youtu.be/vJG698U2Mvo), before you continue reading down. It’s quite challenging to get the count right, but the results are utterly fascinating. :)

*waits patiently*

Welcome back. So, if you haven’t already seen it before, you just watched a video that brilliantly demonstrates our limited capacity as observers. I admit, I was so busy counting the passing ball… I totally missed the gorilla. Most of my family missed it as well. And according to the creators of the video, at least 50% of the audience will. That’s mind blowing.

So what does that say about our perceptions? It seems to suggest we’re not as aware as we think we are. And that is a lovely thought, because it means we don’t have to be so hard on ourselves when we misperceive things. We are literally incapable of taking it all in, and therefore we don’t always have the full picture (or even the same picture as our fellow traveller).

And that just demonstrates the limits of our mental awareness. Now consider our senses for a moment… how our hearing range is limited to a range of 20Hz to 20kHz. Think about how our vision doesn’t go below the ultraviolet or above the infrared. And I know I can’t smell things to the excellent degree my family’s pets can. 

The one that really blows my mind is that we aren’t ever physically touching anything. There is always an atomic amount of space between all objects. So when I sit down in a chair, what’s really happening is the molecular particles that collectively agreed to make up my butt are interacting with the molecular particles that collectively agreed to make up that chair; and the signals are all just electrical stimuli to my brain. I believe I can feel the smoothness of the polished woodgrain… but it isn’t a full or accurate story.

So now we have an idea of the limitations of our five senses. Add to that how we are limited to those five senses in the first place (unless some of you have physically developed sonar like a bat or have the ability to create an external multi-member neural network like fungi do underground), and you start to have a better idea just how much of the picture we are missing. 

So in a nutshell, we simply don’t have the full picture; and that can be a very liberating realization. That idea gave me the wisdom I needed to release my stranglehold on being a perfectionist… just a little bit. If I’m constantly missing things I don’t even know I’m missing, perfection isn’t even an option. I can also take these ideas out into the world with me, and realize we really don’t perceive things as similarly as we think we do. We are constantly being influenced by everything from our senses and mental awareness to cognitive dissonance and the bias of preference. We are each having different experiences, and that underlying realization is a great place to start, if change be the thing we desire. :)

So if you found this write-up interesting, you might enjoy ‘The Invisible Gorilla, And Other Ways Our Intuitions Deceive Us’ by Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons. It’s a thought provoking read. 

I’ll share other inspirational books and TV shows in future song notes. In the meantime, I hope you enjoyed my latest sonic adventure, ‘Develop Mental’ (especially all the little details I added in the 21kHz+ range, as well as the ‘scratch and sniff for dogs’ elements). :)

***EN FRANCAIS PLUS BAS*** (Original song, mix, mastering, vocals and lyrics by KidOfEarth) ⚠️ © (Copyright France) I did this for fun and this track is above all a test on the voice  because I like the blues! After 5 whisky, 50 cigarettes, 10 coffes, a few amphetamines, 2 bars of 100% cocoa dark chocolate and 200 takes to work on my voice here is the result...

TOPIC
About thirty years ago, I lived on a boulevard with incessant and very noisy road traffic. This artery was used dozens of times by emergency vehicles going to the emergency room near my home. And to top it off, the rooms of the apartment I rented were adjoining the delivery dock of a supermarket. Hell!
My next door neighbors were an elderly couple who had lived there forever. When I asked them if the noise didn't bother them, they both replied "Ah but not at all! We're used to it and we couldn't live without it, that reassures us!"
You will therefore have understood that this burlesque blues is for them who would certainly not have supported living in the countryside.
Raph aka KOE ✌️😎

Lyrics
"The nature it gives me the glands"
when I'm tripping around the boulevards
I watch the racing cars backfire
it puts a little animation
I like the ron-ron of the traffic jams.
The nature it gives me the glands
I'm bored, I want to hang myself
if there are no bars and easy girls
I'm like a chick in its omelet...
I dream of a nice apartment
in the middle of a crossroads
to enjoy the charming sound
sirens, that's velvet.
The songs of the piafs every morning
it wakes me up early and I'm not well
the rooster that brays in the barnyard
It's making me nervous, I'm counting down...
"hey Polo! Open the window! It is not well?
eh! Polo!?..."
*******************************
(Original song, mastering, vocals and lyrics by KidOfEarth)

Cette piste est avant tout un test sur la voix car j'aime le blues!
Après 5 whiskys, 50 clopes, 10 cafés, quelques amphétamines, 2 tablettes de chocolat noir 100% cacao et 200 prises pour travailler ma voix, voici le résultat...

TOPIC
Il y a plus de trente ans, j'ai habité sur un boulevard au trafic routier incessant et très bruyant. Cette artère était empruntée des dizaines de fois par les véhicules de secours qui se rendaient aux urgences près de chez moi. Et pour combler le tout, les chambres de l'appartement que je louais étaient mitoyennes avec le quai de livraison d'un supermarché. L'enfer!
Mes voisins de palier étaient un couple de personnes âgées qui vivait là depuis toujours. Quand je leur est demandé si le bruit ne les dérangeait pas, ils m'ont répondu tous les deux "Ah mais pas du tout! On a l'habitude et on ne pourrait plus s'en passer, ça nous rassure!"
Vous aurez donc compris que ce blues burlesque est pour eux qui n'auraient certainement pas supporté de vivre à la campagne.
Raph alias KOE ✌️😎

"La nature ça m'fout les glandes"
Quand j'me trimballe sur les boulevards
je mate les bolides qui pétaradent
ça met un peu d'animation
moi j'aime le ron-ron des bouchons.
La nature ça me fout les glandes
je m'emmerde, j'ai envie de me pendre
si il n'y a pas des bars et des minettes
Je suis comme un oeuf dans une omelette...
Moi je rêve d'un bel appartement
au beau milieu d'un carrefour
pour apprécier le son charmant
des sirènes, ça c'est du velours.
Le chant des piafs tous les matins
ça me réveille tôt et je suis pas bien
le coq qui braille dans la basse-cour
ça me rend nerveux, je fais le compte à rebours...
"hé Polo! Ouvre la fenêtre! On est pas bien là?
hein! Polo!?..."

A love in the heat of summer
But remember seasons change
In the cold of the winter
Feelings often fade away

She left me in the moonlight
She left me with the rain
Something meant to be forever
Will never be again

How long is the dark night
How deep is the sky
Does her voice still carry 
An eternal goodbye

How deep is the sky
How deep is the sky
Memories of sailing
But clipped wings never fly… fly

When I awoke it was from a dream
A heavenly body floating over me
But the nightmare is in the waking
To a ghost that still speaks
Even though she never returns
There’s a fire that still burns

She left me in the moonlight
She left me with the rain
Something meant to be forever
Will never be again

How long is the dark night
How deep is the sky
Does her voice still carry 
An eternal goodbye

How deep is the sky
How deep is the sky
My memories of sailing
Clipped wings never fly…

How deep is the sky
How deep is the sky
Does her voice still carry 
An eternal goodbye… goodbye

The Line (Brian Peters)

I was looking out my window on the first day of Spring
Thought I saw the Winter phantom, well he touches everything
We never know what's good or bad until one of them is gone
Everyone is looking for the line between right and wrong

Well we're looking to the heavens and we haven't left the ground
Looking for the eternal in a world going down
This road just keeps you travelling, going on and on
Everyone is looking for the line between right and wrong

I never know what's hurting, I never know what's true
But man is always restless about the things he always knew
It seems like it started from the day I was born
Everyone is looking for the line between right and wrong

All of us are blinded, learning how to survive
Someone else may tell you, you got to keep hope alive
Well I'm staring out my window, I might see another dawn
Everyone is looking for the line between right and wrong

t’s Going Down The wait is over ——It’s going down now Savor the moment—-for what—-time allows  it’s going down——it’s going down——now it’s going down——it’s going down——now it’s going down now———Ah
Matrix been hacked—-so check your screen feed  this that powerpack top-pick legend in the league  IPG1’s back—- low drag high-speed  explosive on impact ——-giving you what you need
Lou letting loose on the mic  hear the call ——after all here’s the proof that I’m nice  me repping me —- so you gotta feel the hype  morning day noon and night Tear the roof down ——-sure you’re right ———- hot is lava ——watch me flip the script —-as cold as ice  double down ——leveled up ——just to break you off a slice
Going to take you to the next level ——stay in stride  hold on ——baby—-strap in—-for the ride
It’s going down  it’s going down now  it’s going down  it’s going down now ———-let’s goooooooo——ooooo (pan)
🔛—— fire in the hole —-here’s another heater  blowing up the track—-Ear candy—but-sweeter  I do it-all —-cause I can —— hear me holler back just another dope jam—-fam—-- I’m—down like that Better act like you know————-the complexity  Intense —-ain’t it bro —-don’t—-even question me bob your head to the rhythm ——— like you just——-agree  beats hitting—— like I won the state lottery ticket anyway —you want to—-I broke the mold  Bringing heat nonstop——body heart and Soul On top of the world—-and I’m feeling —— great Burning up this track——- kicking ———-808’s punching through——turned up —-like a heavyweight  With that underground bounce—spreading love not hate
The Wait—is over— Its’s going down —(X2) The Wait—is over— Its’s going down —(X2)
Doing better than good—-yeah —- I’m awesome  Peace keeping—run the hood —-like my kingdom  Earbuds in my ear —-pounding on my eardrums  check the swing on the beat yo—a home run  put a smile on my face—-dope production —tight beat 808’s——— from the underground  and that’s deeper than the levels——of a Stadium
