I WANT TO KNOW

Made for fun — Electro Pop at 115-120 bpm that hopefully makes you want to dance 💃🕺💃💃🕺🕺 A light-hearted fun song because Atlanta (A-Town) is fun, y’all — hot and humid 🥵 — but never dull. 

Composed digitally MIDI to DAW via VST instruments, all original, no AI, made by a human 

Available to download (.wav) if anyone feels inspired to collaborate for a remix, adding vocals or whatever. DM me if you prefer MP3.
……………
Home to sports legend Hank Aaron and Braves baseball, southern cooking, tons of historical landmarks — from Centennial Olympic Park to the King Memorial Center — and history-makers, MLK, John Lewis, Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter to name a few, A-Town has neighborhoods of talented minds from all over the world. 

As the American South’s “Ellis Island”, our melting pot of metro neighborhoods makes us ATL strong and welcoming. As home to dozens of colleges and universities, Atlanta acts as a hub for higher education.

Night clubs? And hip hop? Oh yeah, we got that! A-Town is also a huge urban center for LGBTQ folks, so if you’re straight but not narrow, come, dine, and party with us!
..……….…
115/120 bpm

Written in 2022, I ordinarily don’t compose above 100 bpm but A-Town needed a 2025 refresh — the beats fit ATL.

Summertime in A-Town

Synesthesia is main motif for this song, first because of original lyrics, then as I felt like adding it more flavor with female vocals*, & finally when I recently watched some paintings about this matter**.

*Great vocal performance by https://soundcloud.com/maraoldfield is most notorious matter in this piece, where riffing parts toggle with bass-guided proggy ones.

**Due credits to https://soundcloud.com/wouwouandthewormling for ad hoc painting of the song’s artwork.

Letra  /  Lyrics:

QUIERO SABER SI HACE CALOR  /  I WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS HOT

En verano, insoportable,  /  In summer, unbearable,
todo está lleno de ruido.  /  everything is full of noise.
El invierno, silencioso,  /  The winter, silent,
que congela los sonidos.  /  which freezes the sounds.

No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold. 
No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.

Los días soleados  /  Sunny days
acompañan al estío  /  go along with the summer
y cuando llega el invierno  /  and when the winter comes
el cielo está oscurecido.  /  the sky is darkened.

No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold.
No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.

Oh Kim

Way overdue for something new but I've been living in exile without the usual, albeit modest, setup I'm used to. So this might be pretty rough. And it's full of the usual horror at political realities and way full of schmaltzy velveeta. 

Guitarist note:  I don't have amps at present and was struggling to find a decent direct sound. There is a *free* VST plugin by Neural Amp DSP and online libraries of tone prints, also free, that came to the rescue. Highly recommended.

it's alright for you as long as it's alright
you don't mind what they do in the broad daylight

it never could be you

but you don't see the way you're blinded
they'll never drag you down to the places meant for those

do you feel the color of your soul
when you live with love suspended hiding in a hole
the moment is yours but you don't believe 
you won't believe what lies there ripening 
growing in your mind without you knowing

now it could be you

and as you feel the weight of the binding
you know they're dragging you down to the places meant for those

to liberate the light of every heart and mind
you can say it never paying any price

there's a little part of everyone that knows 
we're only playing separate lives 
till true faith arrives

if there's every gonna be a change 
let it start right here

you know it could be you

It Could Be You

So ~ I wasn't really intending on writing / recording another new song at the moment since I'm attempting to finish a number of other songs for my current project ~~but This One came to me one day in July & I felt compelled & decided to kind of drop everything  & record it, as I was hearing it as the possible song I may tag on as the Final Song of my new project once it is complete to close it out ~~
Would Love to hear any thoughts on it at all ! :-)

i made lyrics about an expedition...not the kind of journey to discover the environment, but the one we do exploring ourselves and renewing.

Singing is for me a "sine qua non"... I did several vocal lines and made it faster and more robot-sounding (added samples, dallek sounds, synth); i even played on my guitar (Eko Est 1959) some notes. Hope you enjoy!
             
Expédition--lyrics

Je commence une expédition
Je récrée mon identité 
et j’établie un lien profond 
avec moi-même et la nature


Je prends conscience que je suis unique
Aujourd’hui Je fais le premier pas.

Je retourne à l'essence de l'existence.
une remise à zéro du corps et de l’esprit 

Loin du bruit,  
 la nature pure. 


J’embrasse mon  individualité et danse alors dansez

Expédition (collab Paploviante)

Simple music made in GarageBand :)
Lyrics & vocal by me

Lyrics:

I'm a little different, not like everyone else
But I'm happy with that
I have nothing to prove
And I don't need a common groove

I walk around with a smile on my face
You may think, Is there something wrong
Well, I am just a satisfied woman
Living life, singing this song

So I´ll toast to a happy life
It can be challenging for sure
But if you get through it with a smile on your face
Can you ask for more? 

There is comfort in getting to live
It's not a given for me
Spend my life doing what I want
Allow myself to dream

I walk around with a smile on my face
And you may think, is there something wrong
Well I am just a satisfied woman
Living life, singing this song

So i´ll toast to a happy life
It can be challenging for sure
But if you get through it with a smile on your face
Can you ask for more?

If you get through it with a smile on your face
Can you ask for more?

A Happy Life (Original)

SUCH IS LIFE

V1
IT'S ANOTHER ECLIPSE OF THE CITY
SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN AWAY
S S SAILING AWAY
WHEN I FLOTE INTO YOUR EYE'S
LOOK'S LIKE YOUR FAR AWAY
THERE TO STAY
(CHORUS)
IT'S ALRIGHT, YOU'LL BE FINE
GET OFF THE GROUND, TO TAKE MY HAND
AND FALL AGAIN, TO FALL AGAIN
WE CAN HIDE AND TRY TO DEFINE
SUCH IS LIFE
V2
WE ALL LIVE IN THE CRIME OF THE FUTURE
FEELS LIKE THE END OF TIME
REALING AWAY
NOW YOU'VE SLID INTO THIS STYLE
IT'S NOT THAT YOU HAD TO STAY
I'M HERE TO SAY
(CHORUS)
IT'S ALRIGHT, YOU'LL BE FINE
GET OFF THE GROUND, TO TAKE MY HAND
AND FALL AGAIN, TO FALL AGAIN
WE CAN HIDE AND TRY TO DEFINE
SUCH IS LIFE
(BREAK)
(CHORUS)
END

SUCH IS LIFE

(Intro)
Gotta cut it up, gotta cut it up—-yeah!
Just because, just because
Gotta cut it up, gotta cut it up—-yeah!
Just because, just because

(Chorus)
Play my beats loud, rock and move the crowd 
Just because, just because
make it real, keep it real, underground feel
Just because, just because


Just because, just because

Just because, just because

(Verse1)
Sometimes, cold as ice, twice is nice
Gotta cut it up, added some flavor to the slice—
Honed and crafted, chop and dice
Fire and heat,— free—-, no price
Gotta cut it up, added flavor to the slice
Price been paid, rampage and raid
Just because, just because
Since back in the day, yo I got it made
flat tops and fades
Now I’m rockin braids,
Basement, rooftop, outdoors more
Just because, just because

(Verse2)
So here I am again, memory
Like finding a long lost friend
A focused pattern, that never seems to really end
That loops and repeats, 
Over and over again
Over and over again,

Time passes, old and new trends,
It’s simply not an option, so how can I pretend?
Just enough rope, to run to the end
Before the same Pattern, pulls me back again
before the same pattern, pulls me back again
pulls me back again

(Chorus)

(Verse3)
If the world feels heavy, let the music lift, 
To ease every burden, let the rhythms shift
party through the night, no worries relief
hip-hop strength, brings a melody of peace

Just Because

Can't Get Bayou (But I Can't Get By Without You Either)

Another chapter in my Mars story. The protagonists have landed on mars and reach their martian habitat.

I wanted to touch a few different points in this song.. 

Firstly, after months in zero gravity, the astronauts suffer from muscle and bone atrophy, making them weak. 

Secondly, while watching NASA's Insight landing, I was fascinated with the engineers which were anxiously watching their monitors for progress on the mission, with the knowledge that the landing was already over. Speed-of-light latency meant they just didn't know the result yet as communications take between 6 to 40 minutes depending on the relative position of Earth and Mars. So all they could do was watch and hope everything went ok.

Thirdly, a habitat would have to be sent, assembled and verified before a manned mission could be performed. A pressurized area of breathable atmosphere, with radiation shielding to protect from cosmic rays.

Lyrics:

Feeling the pull from below
We try to rise, on our withered bones.. But..
No strength remains.. yet
we push on forward into the gate
We reach out and open the door
and stare out into the wasteland

Making our way across the scarlet dunes
Through sand and stone in this unfamiliar hue
And up ahead
We see the place where we are gonna stay

With the journey now behind us we are here, on this world.
And hand in hand we walk across the land
to our home..

Hunched over their mission screens, but they won't know our fate, for a while
Staring through their drying eyes as they watch the counter ticking down..
But soon, they'll know 
That humankind is walking on Mars!

A burrow in the ground
A shield of stone,
to shelter us from rays from high above
A pocket of the earthlike
with air to surround us
so we can catch our breath
Where we can breathe 

Sent up in seasons passed 
Built by machines so we could 
Move right in 
Now that we
Are here 

With the journey now behind us we are here, on this world.
And hand in hand we walk across the land
to our home..

First Landing

The Show........

As I get older -  try to stay sober - just long enough to realize it ain't over but it's getting colder - my knees getting weaker - I'm learning to stand all over again.
Seems that I've gone through - so many changes - what's left to conquer - am i getting so bored that i can't concentrate on the main goal - which nowadays is completely blurred
So leave me be with bottles and cans just let me reflect on the strange man that i am - we feel the conjecture in our tones - we're avoiding what we already know - If you look deeper beneath the layers of film in my eyes as they thicken every time i sip a sorrow away - it get's harder each day - putting on the show
My eyes will stay focused mainly on the next task – just as long as up my sleeve I find my flask – and while I’m submerged in all these urges and it’s hard to remember just where I am.
Still I’m remiss to ask you just what I was saying cause that’s all my mind will allow me to handle at this time I’m fading slowly degrading – I fell off earth long ago  –So leave me be with bottles and cans just let me reflect on the strange man that  i am - we feel the conjecture in our tones - we're avoiding what we already know - If you look deeper beneath the layers of film in my eyes as they thicken every time i sip a sorrow away - it get's harder each day - putting on the show
Please breathe your light into my aura its black and it’s purple – it’s out of control the colors are scattered and all that has mattered through all these years has already been
taken away in the blink of just one eye – don’t be judging - the colors keep smudging – and you keep begrudging me cause I’m fading – it’s not understated when you say I’m a mess.
So leave me be with bottles and cans just let me reflect on the strange man that i am - we feel the conjecture in our tones - we're avoiding what we already know - If you look deeper beneath the layers of film in my eyes as they thicken every time i sip a sorrow away - it get's harder each day - putting on the show

LYRICS : - 
So the cops on the beat
Seem to miss all the fun
'Cause he's quick on his feet
And he knows how to run
Oh the crowd that appears
When he'd there on the street
But he soon disappears
If the mood ain't so sweet

His KIngdom is this block
Through day and night
His courtiers are his victims
They bite

And he is usually there
Oh the Gingerbread Man
And they follow him here
And they follow him where
Just to get their candy
As fast as they can 
From the Gingerbread Man
The Gingerbread Man

I only see it by day
When I look out from work
And I see the array
A plethora of quirks
Some are clearly in pain
In the grip of their habit
But they just carry on
'Cause they just gotta have it

The tourists and the workers
Seem so refined
Next to all the street trash
Maligned

And he is usually there
Oh the Gingerbread Man
And they follow him here
And they follow him where
Just to get their candy
As fast as they can 
From the Gingerbread Man
The Gingerbread Man

How do you do
I wandered past your house so many times
On the off chance that you’d see me

How do you do
It isn’t that I miss your loving crimes
But I’m counting times you kissed me

If only we could talk
Without tears being shed
If only we could walk
Without words being said

I fly around you
Trying not to get burned
Fire surrounds you
I guess I’ll never learn
We said goodbye but that will never satisfy
My hope, my dreams, my soul

How do you do
We’re opposites that never quite worked out
No matter how I wanted it to

How do you do
You're the perfect one who I can’t live without
I wish you’d think the same about me too

If only we could talk
Without tears being shed
If only we could walk
Without words being said

I fly around you
Trying not to get burned
Fire surrounds you
I guess I’ll never learn
We said goodbye but that will never satisfy
My hope, my dreams, my soul

How Do You Do
