I Am Alive (FRAWSTAKWA & Cosmic Keanu)

A breakup song

It's My Shovel
I wish I believed in us
At this point I can't even be fake
It's me or you, and I choose me
That's my take

There can never be an us
It could never be, it could never seem
That me or you, is you and me
That's insane

What if there could be an us
I’d give anything if I could be redeemed
By your decree, but you left me
Holding faith

I let their mistakes, be my struggle
It’s not yours to take, it’s my shovel
To bury the past where I stumbled

You're never alone if you’re humble
You’ve got what it takes, at every level
Believe in yourself, you know that I will

I know I believe us
At this point I can’t even explain
How she and you, saved all of me
We’re the same


Its My Shovel

I wonder if some of you remember with nostalgia this time, which was about 30 years ago (exactly like in this song).
Warm regards !

Time travellers

One day we'll find our way
Straying from the road
We thought we could go
Until we would fade.

Traveling across the fallen earth
And the foreign lands
We survived
To believe that this is not the end
This is not the time

Moving unseen beyond
The shadows
Waiting for
The birth of a star we can follow

One day we'll find our time
Come to realize
That our history
Came full circle

Traveling across all the dried up seas
And the foreign lands
We survived
To believe that this is not the end
This is not the time

We crane our necks for youth
We know we’ll make it through
And we can go back to the forest

Let’s go back to the world
That was 30 years ago
And let’s believe this is our time

Lyrics:
Do you need some more cash?
A big old stack
Right there in your pants
Look at you, getting more than the next guy
A bigger slice of the pie
Do you like it like that?
Need more cash?
Look at your bad self out on that dance floor
Gucci sunglasses
A Louis Vuitton money belt
Fill your life with beautiful things
It gives you everything you need
But still you say:

I need something more
(Happiness is where you are)
I have nothing left
(Let the sunshine in your heart)
I feel emptiness
(Feel the magic of the earth)
What more can I get?
(Do you fill up with things where you hurt?)
Let me rhapsodize
I am happy with my slice
5% of paradise

You're getting a bigger bite at the apple
MMMM, it's coming soon
All these things, that gives you more
Va-va-voom
(Va-va-voom!)
Costco size it!
You've got more possessions
Then a Pharaoh
In an Egyptian tomb

But still you say:
I need something more
(Happiness is where you are)
I have nothing left
(Let the sunshine in your heart)
I feel emptiness
(Feel the magic of the earth)
What more can I get?
(Do you fill up with things where you hurt?)
Let me rhapsodize
I am happy with my slice
5% of paradise

Need some more cash?
A big stack in your pants?

5% Of Paradise

When the terminator came out in 1984
Humans fighting robots from the future in a terrible epic war
People said it’s just science fiction, it’ll never come true
But now it’s 40 years later and AI’s coming for me and you

I sure hope someone’s standing there ready to pull the plug
When AI decides, instead of a feature, humans are a bug
I’m trying really hard to keep an open mind
Don’t want to be a Luddite who gets left behind

AI advancing rapidly, it’s only a matter of time
Before AI is smarter, than the greatest human mind
The same way that humans view monkeys
they’ll decide they’re more intelligent
And then one day they’ll conclude that humans are irrelevant

Some say that AI’s goanna make the world a better place for you and me
Other’s say it’ll be the end of human history
Not sure what to believe, we’re just cogs in the machine
Maybe the truth is somewhere in between

I sure hope someone’s standing there ready to pull the plug
When AI decides, instead of a feature, humans are a bug
I’m trying really hard to keep an open mind
Don’t want to be a Luddite who gets left behind

If the terminator got it right, one day we’ll have to fight
We live our lives and try to ignore, the dangers of a human robot war
And if you talk to a chatbot don’t give it any ideas

AI Pull The Plug

This is a song I wrote in 1989, as a gift for a girl-friend on the occasion of a rendezvous we had arranged ten years earlier, well in advance, and perhaps imagining that it would be difficult, after all that time (at a young age ten years seems like an infinite time), to still have meaning in each other's lives. In reality, those two never lost sight of each other.
I produced several versions of the song and obviously don't like any of them anymore today. So I asked @pianofran permission to whisper and to recite the words (I can no longer sing very good) using a beautiful piano composition of hers as the basis (https://soundcloud.com/pianofran/doxology). This is the result. Thank you very much, Francess!

English (very, very rough) translation

at the first stop she told him 'I am almost home,
greet me with a hug a little caress
take care of yourself and don't forget to look at the world
see you again when you're thirty
see you again in ten years'

after a long stop the train threw her into the darkness
Of a desert station a pale refuge
she coloured her hair, lifted her head and let herself be carried
by the night that took her without giving time to breathe
He looked around a bit, had nothing more to do
had no particular certainties to conquer
but the journey was still long
and at every town the sky became clearer
Occident was lowering
and his head brushed by the sun
slowly fell asleep

'in ten years' time you will have two grown-up children and a big house
a room just for the books and a little of nostalgia
of men by the sea, of women walking in the middle of the road without ever looking around
and when I'll come looking for you
don't offer me rose gardens
or iced drinks'

but presentiments are only false temptations
are dangerous mists at the border crossings
are like pinwheels of secrets,
are images of the evening
are like white horses that wander aimlessly
are the shadow of a restless face

no he will not have his hands tied but two big wings
boxes full of candies and special cigar cases
His voice will be even louder
His silences always full of words
the promises he will have kept
the stakes of every bet he will not have lost

she will hide instead in her ten yellow jumpers
and wear them proudly in spite of the passing years
she will chase ghosts, will try variations on the theme of destiny
will have hair of two colours
and burnt skin of an intense marine flavour

and on the day of the rendezvous in a city by the sea
they will have no thoughts or particular certainties to conquer
will look around, look for something to tell each other
then they will laugh hard
And once again
they will believe to resemble each other

LOOK AT ALL THE LIFE TODAY,
IN THIS WORLD, FROM THIS WORLD,
WE CAN ALL LOOK BACK,
SEE WHAT WE, WE HAVE MADE

TAKE YOUR TIME AND SAY,
LOOK AROUND, AND ABOVE,
IT'S ALL HERE TO STAY,
IT'S ALL YOUR'S, IT'S ALL MINE,

(chorus)
SOMEDAY
WE MIGHT DANCE TOGETHER
AND LIVE, IN A LIFE OF LAW
SOMEDAY
THIS COULD LAST FOREVER,
AND LEAVE, THIS WORLD ALONE

SO TAKE A LOOK AHEAD
MAY'BE YOUR, NOT TO SURE,
THE CALL TO STAND THE LINE,
TO SAY GOODBYE, NEVER COMING BACK,

THE HERO IS STILL TO BE,
IN OUR LIVES, TO MAKE US FREE
TAKE MY HAND IN YOURS AND
SAY GOODBYE, TO ALL THE GREED,

(BREAK)
(REPEAT CHORUS)

LOOK AT ALL THE LIFE TODAY,
IN THIS WORLD, FROM THIS WORLD,
WE CAN ALL LOOK BACK,
SEE WHAT SEE WHAT WE, WE HAVE MADE

(REPEAT CHORUS)

SOMEDAY, LEAVE THIS WORLD ALONE.

Timeline

SOMEDAY

Music allows me to gain strength to move forward. Sometimes the ubiquitous internet is annoying, but it's great that there are places like this where people from all over the world can share their music. 
Mostly I do covers from my childhood and early youth. In this way, I am reminded of these beautiful times.
On tracks where is not indicated "cover" it means it is my oryginal music.
Greetings to you all!
