PERSPECTIVES

2017 Rock

CREATING TUNES THAT MEAN SOMETHING....IT'S ABOUT BEING TRUE TO OURSELVES!

Seems #Soundcloud are now under new management, and will be staying in business, but for how long is dependent on how much activity we, the musicians, create and sustain!

DON'T JUST LIKE, LISTEN; DON'T JUST LISTEN, COMMENT; DON'T JUST COMMENT, SHARE!

Just clicking the like button doesn't prove you listen! I only return listens and feedback to those who give it. If you only subscribe to my page, or only click the like button, you won't hear from me.

Just adding numbers, or just clicking like buttons, makes us all wary, and that's what kills these music sites off; why should anyone keep giving support if they never get any back!

If all you do is post your tunes, sit back and wait for a miracle, guess what, it'll never happen! Only a small number of Soundcloud musicians are proactive, which is why Soundcloud is struggling to survive!

Without these music sites, your chances are screwed, so you need them, I need them, and we need each other! EXCHANGE SUPPORT!

COLD SWEAT

In a cold cold sweat
Can’t get any sleep
In a cold cold sweat 
Feelings running too deep

On the streets of ancient gods
Hit a red light, see a Greek memory
Push the gas, see the ghosts of ambition
It’s an avalanche only in your mind

Did you finish
Did you even start 
Do you have the time
Can you see the line
Do you even need it
Does anybody give or care

Home again there’s good and there’s bad
What a day will it ever get better
You think you did all that you could
Still feels like less than you should

You find yourself in a wet shirt
Can’t remember if you’re young or old
It’s a hot night and still you’re cold
Not the first time or the last time
Not the last time

It’s a cold cold sweat
Can’t get any sleep
It’s a cold cold sweat 
Feelings running too deep
It’s a cold cold sweat
It’s a cold cold sweat
Feelings running too deep

Days gone by you did the right thing
A great success admired by all
Sometimes you even forget
Sometimes
 
Sweet life no ifs and buts
Fall asleep in a star studded dream
A night like so many others
Not the first time, not the last time 
Not the last time

I can’t shake this cold sweat
I can’t shake this cold sweat

Hold The Line (The wink Mix) - The Turtle Project

I was in love with West Side Story from age 5 on. 
This is a free interpretation of Somewhere.

Original soundtrack from West Side Story written by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. 

Edit: I am so sad Stephen Sondheim died a few days after this release. So I declare this interpretation as my tribute to him. Thank you so much for your everlasting romantic poetry Mr. Sondheim. Rest in peace. 

Vocals and backings created and recorded by Neli CoKo.

Getting Away With It (All Messed Up) by James [cover]

Out in the desert... Burning man ghost... Lit up in style, starting to glow


Motown Sugar Man

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.

Winds of Change - Pulse Modulators https://youtu.be/1stsRsoQxeE

YOU TREAT ME LIKE I DON’T EXIST

I’M NOT QUITE SURE
WHERE OR WHEN
MY LIFE TOOK THE FIRST
OF HER MANY WRONG TURNS

FOR DAYS OF SADNESS
SEEM TO MINGLE
BLURRING IN MY MIND
THE FINE LINE
THAT DIVIDES
ALL THE GOOD TIMES
FROM THE BAD TIMES
ALL THE HAPPY 
FROM THE SAD

YOU TREAT ME LIKE I DON’T EXIST
YOU TREAT ME LIKE I DON’T EXIST

ALTHOUGH MY DAY 
BEGINS WITH TEARS
AND WORKS IT’S WAY
THROUGH ALL MY FEARS
SOMETIMES I’M LIFTED
FROM THIS GLOOM
WHEN SHAPE AND SHADOW
FILL THE ROOM

BUT LONELY MINDS
TORMENT WITH TRICKS
MENDING HEARTS
THAT NEVER FIX
BRINGING HOPE
WHERE DREAMS ARE STONE
TILL ONCE AGAIN
YOU’RE LEFT ALONE

YOU TREAT ME LIKE I DON’T EXIST
YOU TREAT ME LIKE I DON’T EXIST



DON’T I EXIST IN THE EYES OF THIS WORLD
AM I AS NOTHING TO EVERY GIRL
AM I THE WEAKLING
RIPE FOR THE PICKING
LONELY PARIAH
IN A UNIVERSE OF KINGS AND QUEENS
IN A UNIVERSE OF TWO EXTREMES
NEITHER ONE OF WHICH WAS MEANT TO BE
A PLACE WHERE EVERYONE EXISTS BUT ME

TO BE TRUTHFUL
THINGS BEGAN TO FALL APART
LONG BEFORE
MY LIFE DID START

DESTINED FOR ONE THOUSAND YEARS
BORN TO BE WHERE NO ONE CARES
MAYBE I WAS MEANT TO BE
A FAILURE AND A NOBODY

SOME MIGHT SEE THE IRONY
THE UNDERBELLY COMEDY
HAVING WON THE RIGHT TO LIFE
I LOST THE WILL TO LIVE

YOU TREAT ME LIKE I DON’T EXIST
YOU TREAT ME LIKE I DON’T EXIST

IT’S SO HARD TO COME TO TERMS
WITH THE FACT YOU’RE NEVER HEARD
AND YOU’RE ONLY EVER SEEN
AS A WASHED UP NEVER-BEEN

PEOPLE PASS YOU BY
NEVER LOOK YOU IN THE EYE
CAN’T AFFORD THE TIME OF DAY
WAIT UNTIL YOU GO AWAY

EVEN THOSE WHO SAY THEY CARE
WITH A CUSTOMARY TEAR
MUCH LIKE FRIENDS OF WEATHER FAIR
ONE BY ONE DO DISAPPEAR

YOU TREAT ME LIKE I DON’T EXIST
YOU TREAT ME LIKE I DON’T EXIST

DON’T I EXIST IN THE EYES OF THIS WORLD
AM I AS NOTHING TO EVERY GIRL
AM I THE WEAKLING
RIPE FOR THE PICKING
LONELY PARIAH
IN A UNIVERSE OF KINGS AND QUEENS
IN A UNIVERSE OF TWO EXTREMES
NEITHER ONE OF WHICH WAS MEANT TO BE
A PLACE WHERE EVERYONE EXISTS BUT ME


YOU TREAT ME LIKE I DON'T EXIST

'Hunting the Wren'. The wren, was the druids' messenger. They also acquired a reputation of being go-betweens with the underworld and the forces of darkness, because they like to nest in dark places. Killing a wren was a way of ensuring that the sun's light would win through and return.

Mosa Wild - Smoke

My interpretation of this song penned by Leonard Cohen, one of the greatest poets/songwriters of our time.

Dance Me To The End Of Love (cover)

We were angered by the atrocities in Manchester on Monday evening, again music was targeted, this is our only way to protest. Wow and Flutter

You'll Never Win

A humourous post apocalyptic journey in which aliens have taken over LA and are using highly developed machines to rule. The first half represents driving through the former city surveying in horror the burnt out wreckage. Alien bacterial spawn is also bubbling beneath the concrete.
A spaceship appears and hovers slowly to the ground stirring up the scenery.
An alarm is raised as the humans climb aboard. We soar upwards accompanied by a friendly robot. We view from the craft the war zone below as we speed off to our new planet.

this just poured out of me last night, i thought it was a gem so today i worked hard to put it in a setting that would make it shine... "join the sun stars with the thrumming of our souls, shining dimly in the night, receding now but still much too bright; the afterglow of cosmic thought; transgress with meaning, unwanted awakening, but still voracious until the next time we are altered into fate. arise!arise! the aching in my heart, arise!arise! then sleep 'til morning light... eagerly expected mirage of yearning, never ending satiated burning

This is the first single of our new EP on which we explore four different archetypes.
"The King" dives into the egotistical spiral that this archetype can get trapped in. Given what is going on in the world, we projected the scenario into politics and ended up with a taste of "The Matrix".

Cocky politician
Wants to be a king
A critical condition
Will you kiss the signet ring?

Citizen or simpleton?
Are we aware or just conking out?
Yeah, makes me wonder what it’s all about
Pretend lies are true, love to spin the new
Red or blue

A new truth, I got reasonable doubt
‘Cause in truth your conscience checked out
Up to you: Which pill will you choose?
Red Or Blue

So if you take the red pill
The brutal truth is yours
While you choosing the blue pill
Is what the king prefers

Gullible or culpable?
Are we sure or just conking out?
Time to choose: red or blue

A new truth, I got reasonable doubt
‘Cause in truth your conscience checked out
Take it or leave it
We go and go and comatose we go
So which life will you choose: red or blue?

Feels like malnutrition
When leaders are deranged
High road to perdition
If what is true can change
Can you believe it?

Which pill shall I bring
It’s up to you
Can you believe it?
Which pill shall I bring
It’s up to you
Say, say: red or blue?

A new truth, I got reasonable doubt
‘Cause in truth your conscience checked out
Up to you: Which pill will you choose?
Which life will you choose?
Red Or Blue

Cocky politician
Thinks he is a king
So now it’s up to us dear
Which pill shall I bring: red or blue?

EXISTENCE PASSAGERE (Texte: BLEEP - Musique et Chant: Alain GUERIN)

Hey. Thanks for stopping by to see what’s up with me. I hope you are well. What I have noticed recently is, I am like an old dog now when I sleep. I close my eyes and dissolve into my dreams. There, I befriend people I may or may not not know... they may be essences of those past, or imaginative and archetypal beings of some significance. They may contain trace essences of people I know. I can fly, breathe under water, and I may on occasion travel the cosmos in a supernatural sense. I find the realm of dreams to be extraordinarily fascinating. A few years ago, I decided to begin to keep a dream journal which now is just shy of a hundred pages. A future book maybe? This song comes from an amalgamation of several recurring lucid dreams. Hope you like it, Mark

She Whispers To Me

Conquering and ruling cultures often oppress those they dominate. The oppressed, and those with less power, will always eventually seek justice, representation, and equal power from their subjugators. Those whose culture have been vilified, repressed, and appropriated can regain their power and love by learning about their past, choosing and identifying their cultural heroes for themselves, and restoring their appreciation and celebrations for their ancestors.  

May this song encourage an honest look into your past, acknowledging both the shadow and the light, appreciating the beauty of what was and is, and learning from accomplishments and mistakes to continue our evolution in becoming better co-creators with the planet.

I used some of a bass stem Alpha Roots sent me to make Red Earth Clay and I used the rest of the stem to make Sow Your Seeds. I have one unused bass and drum stem from Alpha Roots that I will make an old school hip hop song with and I may remix his original Hosanna bass stem one day to make a new reggae song. I may also ask Russ if I can make a version of Da Weed using Alpha Roots’ stems one day. After that, I may be complete unless I get gifted some Alpha Roots stems to play with. 

Huge thanks to Chiefo who set the original tone of this song which gave me inspiration for  the lyrics. Big ups to Fady, bit zone, and Lady of Fire Poetry for joining in on this project and adding their collective vibe. Massive thanks to Wou-Wou & the Wormling for keeping the track on skank with his rhythm guitar and for providing us with his incredible art work - commission him for some work y’all!!! And massive thanks to Russell and the Chaos Cookhouse for mixing and mastering these stems into the huge dubbed out joint that it is. Hit Russ up for his mixing and mastering services now!!!

Lyrics:

Know your roots and your culture 
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey 
Rock your roots and your culture 
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey 

Get to know your roots and your culture
Who you be now 
Know your history now 
So you can see now 
Where you wanna sow your seeds now 
Where you wanna sow your seeds now
Hey ey ey
Hey ey ey 

Gonna build on that which went before I 
Try and build on that which went before I 
Never knew who I was 
Dem try and control my 
Never knew who I was 
Dem try and control my
 Destiny with suppression and lies 
Deny that my ancestors were wise 
Revise my story with your wicked eyes  so others will despise 
And overlook the great civilizations that my people built 
Likewise likewise likewise

Unaware of history your destined to repeat it 
Only hear deceitful stories and we’re likely to concede to it 
Take away the leaders from our culture to unseat it 
Take away our dreams from our spirit to defeat it 
Replace dem with your poor role models and everyone believes in it 
Replace dem with your hopelessness and everyone perceives it 
But Jah lion shines bright in us and we only need to see it 
Jah lion is shining bright in us and all we need to do is reveal it

Joker.

Firstly on easy listening 6/4 bars, I cut some notes out of the main theme so as to give it dynamism, and finally obtained a prime amalgam of 17 quarter notes. I hid any recognizable thing in the accompaniment, and for the organic lines (voice and guitars) I tried the strong rhythm would not fix too much the melodies, first paying a lot of attention, and finally ... just letting me go.

Translated lyrics:

Oídos sordos (17 negras)  /  Deaf ears (17 quarter notes)

Quiero gritar todo lo que siento, estando solo;  /   I want to shout out everything I feel, being alone;
pero gritándolo al viento y si no contesta,  /  but shouting it at the wind and if it doesn’t answer,
dime, ¿de qué me sirve? (bis)  /  tell me, how does that help me? (bis)

Todos los vientos conocen mi historia  /  All the winds know my story
pero no hacen nada.  /  but they don’t do anything.
¿Será que no me oyen? (bis)  /  Perhaps they don’t hear me? (bis)

He estado aquí y allí gritando como un loco,  /  I’ve been here and there screaming like a madman,
pero todo sigue igual.  /  but it’s all the same.
¿Será que no me oyen? (bis)  /  Perhaps they don’t hear me? (bis)

Quiero gritar…  /  I want to shout out…

Ahora sé que no sirve de nada;  /  Now I know it’s no use;
el viento sois todos que callais al verme,  /  all of you are the wind, silent when you see me,
y dejáis que hable y hable,  /  and letting me speak and speak,
y dejáis que hable y hable y hable.  /  and letting me speak and speak and speak.

No creo que vuelva mañana  /  I don’t think I’ll be back tomorrow
a escuchar vuestro silencio.  /  to listen to your silence.
Quiero encontrar a alguien. (bis)  /  I want to find someone. (bis)

Quiero gritar…  /  I want to shout out…
