Eastern Saturn Tunes

a private collection of dreamy songs I stumbled across while searching for the meaning of small ants and stuff that are intriguing in our life and the things we hold dear and the preciseness of getting the perfect steak on the barbecue.

Unicorns and shit is not here at all, they are in the meadow grazing.

Wednesday Collection #57

W/c 5 September 2020

May 2021 Discoveries.

Many people simply want to hear and enjoy some great new music without having to waste time searching for hours. These Musical Discoveries collections aim to fulfil those needs. At least, we hope so! :)

This playlist is a compilation of the favourite musical discoveries of the Wud Records team from everything they heard at SoundCloud during May 2021.

Tracks have been arranged according to the number of plays at the precise moment of publishing, starting with the fewest. Tracks that are early in playlists tend to receive more plays than later tracks, and we feel that the ones with fewer plays need the best chance of exposure.

This playlist is extremely eclectic, so if the track you are playing isn't quite doing it for you, try the next one. It will probably be completely different.

If you enjoyed listening to something here, please give it a like and a repost. Follow the artist. Give them a shoutout on social media. Check out some of their other tracks. Buy something from them and your support will help them to keep going. Doing any of this will help raise their profile. At the very least you might make their day. :)

If you happen to be on this playlist, please share, and give us a shoutout on your social media feeds - because if we spot it, it gives us another opportunity to repost you and big you up. Please listen to as many tracks by the other great bands as you can, and... enjoy!

May 2021 Discoveries

I have collected music tracks that are very calming and soothing to listen to.
I hope you, a stranger, will discover great artists here.

Favorite [Various music that heals me]

One of the songs that came out of my 1-month songwriting challenge to write a verse or chorus a day (the lyrics are from days 22-25). I'd been binge-listening to "Champagne Problems" by Taylor Swift and wanted to write a simple 4-chord song with a kind of sentimental vibe.

This is part of my second "album", https://soundcloud.com/jenni-grossmann/sets/when-the-curtain-falls

Verse 1
I remember a time when a flick of your wrist could make all clouds drift away
But now the sun’s been hiding out for days
The truth of the matter is
Maybe it’s better this way
What do you say

Chorus x 2
It was all fun and games until it wasn’t
We hit the bottom of the barrel and you know it’s
Never gonna be the same
Why don’t we call it a day / Yea, let's just call it a day

Verse 2
I remember a time when a word from your lips could let the world slip back into place
But now I haven’t heard from you for days
And the truth of the matter is maybe it’s better this way
What do you say?

Chorus x 2
It was all fun and games until it wasn’t
We hit the bottom of the barrel and you know it’s
Never gonna be the same
Why don’t we call it a day / Yea, let's just call it a day

Verse 3
I remember a time when the touch of your hand could wipe all my fears away
But now you don’t understand anything and I think
The truth of the matter is maybe it’s better this way
What do you say?

Chorus x 2
It was all fun and games until it wasn’t
We hit the bottom of the barrel and you know it’s
Never gonna be the same
Why don’t we call it a day / Yea, let's just call it a day

I love Sandy's ( http://soundcloud.com/sunnidayz ) songs and I've wanted to collaborate for quite a while. Finally we have both a song and technology in place! ;-) Even better, Sandy tells me you can dance the Texas Two-Step to this song! In addition to Sandy's wonderful and soulful singing I was thrilled to have http://soundcloud.com/oorlab onboard. His violin playing is adding real character to the song I think. I hope you agree. Enjoy!

I. We were singing 
we were singing 
we were singing through the night 
Trees were blowing 
The willow's all knowing 
Trees were blowing in the night 
Something's calling our names 
We all turn around and there's this raven 
It spread its wings 
whispered things 
We were singing 
We were singing 
We were singing all through the night

II. the rain kept raining 
the moon kept shining 
we took our boats across the lake 
the dark descending 
we kept sending 
signals cross the Skies 
Something's calling our names 
We all turn around and there's this raven 
It spread its wings 
whispered things 
We were singing 
We were singing 
We were singing all through the night

Something's calling our names 
We all turn around and there's this raven 
It spread its wings 
whispered things 
We were singing 
We were singing 
We were singing all through the night

III. Space expanding 
we're moon landing 
walk this Earth up and down

at sixes and sevens 
we stare to the heavens 
wondering why no one's there

Something's calling our names 
We all turn around and there's this raven 
words of piece 
words of comfort 
We were singing 
We were singing 
We were singing all through the night

I feel blessed to be able to keep Alpha Roots’ vibe shining bright for the SoundCloud community to continue to enjoy. 

Alpha Roots sent me these reggae bass and rhythm guitar stem a long time ago, maybe even three years ago in 2016 (bad couch, bad couch)! I originally planned on having Evelyn (of the Reiki Run Rampant tracks on my page) sing over the rhythm but then I moved from Santa Cruz to Portland and she moved from the Pacific Northwest to Santa Cruz, bummer! So the stems sat in my hard drive until new inspiration arrived in the form of Johnny Minstrel, one of favorite song writers on SoundCloud, agreeing to write lyrics and sing over the track. Once Johnny added his deep felt lyrics and magical vocal chords to the mix, the rest of the song came together pretty quickly for me, lol! I often try to put together virtual bands for my tracks and I knew I had to have Jamie Rhind on the track since he worked with Alphio on multiple songs and a reunion was due. I always wanted to work with Jonathan Beckenstein, whose sensitive and thoughtful guitar work is always sublime. Darren and Russ came naturally.  My original drum production work was based on an old Sly Dunbar sample (I like to include the essence of some of my favorite artists in the tracks I work on) but the quality of the drums just wasn’t up to Russ’ standards, hahaha, so we brought Bitzone on board to lay down some drums and voila, roots reggae magic!

Big thanks to the band for coming together on this in fine fashion! Big ups to the SoundCloud community and the spirit of collaboration. Keep on digging! 

And massive thanks to Wou-Wou to bringing his visual arts talent to the project! My goal is to eventually put together a reggae album (possibly a double album which will also include some reggae collaborations between Alpha Roots and friends including Jamie Rhind and Russ Sinfield) with all profits going to the Cancer Research Institute. Be on the look out for a possible dub version of Red Earth Clay as well!!!

Lyrics: 
Hold you tongue don’t wag that finger
Just shine a light on me my friend
Too much fuss will only hinder
All the good things the spirit sends
We were made of dust and fire
Born beneath a brooding sky
On the stairs of Babel we climb higher 
To sights not seen by human eye

And now I dig, dig deep into the 
Red Earth Clay
Dig, dig deep
And I toil for no pay
I dig, dig deep into the
Red Earth Clay
Down to the root I’ll find my way

Some have called democracy into question
Saying we like sheep have gone astray
That it’s been the rich man’s intention
To steel by night and rule by day
I washed your feet with my tears
I wiped them dry with my hair
Can a hungry mouth still offer prayers
Or are they whispers of despair 

And now I dig, dig deep into the 
Red Earth Clay
Dig, dig deep
And I toil for no pay
I dig, dig deep into the
Red Earth Clay
Down to the root I’ll find my way
I dig, dig deep into the
Red Earth Clay
Dig, dig deep
And I toil for no pay
I dig, dig deep into the
Red Earth Clay
Down to the root I’ll find my way

Summoning

When in Tasmania, Natt hanged out with his girlfriend Fanny Assingham and a surfer dude called Ginger. We don't know if it was because of his red hair or the fact that he over consumed ginger root beer.
The legend says that Fanny took off with Ginger and a case of root beer but no one knows for sure. The only thing that we do know is that Ginger ended up very sadly in the jaws of a shark when surfing the swells of the Tasmanian shores.
Natt had little to do with it says the Police report.

Lyrics:

This is not your native darkness
I invite you in 
I regret that I encroach upon
your light so long-reaching
What creature am I?
I have been asking
I am no night creature 
but the night does want me

Oooooooooooh

Will you hide from your wolves?
Will you hide, will you hide?
Will you hide from your wolves?
Will you hide, will you hide?
Your unworthinesses, your pets,
your tagalongs,
when you tell them you're done with them
they lie down for a while,
like good dogs.

You're lying down as I write this part
your face breaks my heart 
It's like that thing they say 
I feel we rise from the same clay 
How is it my sky caves in
and through cracks in my darkness
I see you still standing 
in the realm of the sun? 
A smile within your eyes,
counting true things like money;
sorcery is so simple.
I only see that now

Will you hide from your wolves?
Will you hide? Will you hide?
Will you hide from your wolves? 
Will you hide? Will you hide?
Your unworthinesses, 
your pets, your tagalongs,
When you tell them you're done with them
they lie down for a while,
like good dogs.

Allow me to take you for granted 
and I'll be a given
They have seen fit to bestow gifts,
let us not question it.
I look to you when I'm 
not feeling worthy 
and you and only you 
untie all my points of pain.
I am unlearning terror -
Empty promiser,
Inflammation of the soul -
Let's have a new fire

Will you hide from your wolves?
Will you hide? Will you hide?

Randall dreams and receives instructions: there is a flower that grows between a crack in a sidewalk, somewhere in the city. He wanders until he finds the flower, then eats it.

I Am Still U Part III: Holy Instructions

Randall buys a telescope. Night falls and he points it upward: he sees a giant eye, staring directly at him. The next morning he wakes up covered in eyes. He's unsettled.

I Am Still U (Parts I-II)

Made, in love, for STLNiNjA <3 https://soundcloud.com/stl-ninja

you got me
reaching for the stars
and you got me
embracing all my scars
baby, you got me
dancing in the rain
again...

people come
and people go
they all play parts
in this big show
and there is not much
we can know
all we can do 
is come and go

cuz even the seeds 
that are buried deep
they dream of living
as they sleep
and when they feel 
a touch of light,
they push themselves up
day and night
and everything seems
dark and dead
until a bud 
pokes out its head.

my NiNjA 
protects me well
he smiled at me 
and then i fell
so deep into
his dragon-colored eyes
this kind of love, 
it never dies
he tells me everything 
will be alright and
together we fly 
through the night

you got me
reaching for the stars
and you got me
embracing all my scars
baby, you got me
dancing in the rain
again...

U Got Me

Upstream-Downstream (Long Distant)

Un voyage sans retour  🚀 ✨

Burn by the mirror 
Climb on the ladder 
Listen to the speaker 
Blind in the full light 

Leave in an explosion 
Ready for the mission 
Feel acceleration 
it’s behind 

The sheaf of spark still glows, in your eyes, I close mine wondering how, you feel inside 
The stars shine more and more in the darkness 
While the rocket flows and die in the deepness.
I’ll never come back in this world, I’ m far away 
I ´ll never come back in this world , I’m far away 
Never forget 
What a mess , what a mess , what a mess in my mind , what a mess, what a mistake, I miss you
The sheaf of spark still glows, in your eyes, I close mine wondering how, you feel inside 
The shine of stars  explodes in the darkness 
While the rocket flows and die in the deepness.
Never forget

What a mess

Lyrics:
my Ninja got a throwing star
witcha name on it
Get it stuck up in your head 
like a Shakespeare sonnet
any kinda trouble and
my man is on it,
he's got a ninja blade, too,
and he's already drawn it.
my ninja comes creeping 
up from behind
catch your ass off guard 
everytime
beware of the ninja's curse
hits ya so damn hard
gonna need a hearse.

(hook)
ninja baby,
don't wanna make my ninja angry
cuz he goes so crazy
(repeat)

my ninja got a 
pair of nun chucks
witcha name on it
written in blood
my ninja don't
give no fucks
you can bank on it
and you know 
he smokes bud.

(breakdown)
ninja baby!
he's so crazy

my Ninja climbs the walls
above your head
crawling in through
the window while
you're asleep in bed,
stealthily hanging off a rope
he's the thing that you dread
quicker than shit
before you blink,
he'll leave a sucka dead.
 
(hook)

he got his Ninja Baby
by his side
whether we creep at night
or whether we ride
nobody can run
nobody can hide
cuz we be rollin
like Bonnie and Clyde

(breakdown)

Two years ago today, on Rudi's birthday, we released "Dream of Hebrides", our first collab. We decided to release another version, we had created, at a later date, but where does the time go, Rudi said this morning.... as it is 2 years later, on this anniversary, that we now give you that version.
A big happy birthday Rudi, and thankyou for letting me share your beautiful music, always magic to work with you <3 
Keep safe and well everyone!

Lyrics
We are all just grains of sand
But together we form the shore
And we are all just tiny sparks
But we fill the sky with stars

And we are all just breath
But it forms the wind that cradles the grass
And we are all just tiny streams
But together we fill the Sea

An we are all just a moment in time
Just a moment in time
But together Eternity
But together Eternity
But together Eternity

========== Lyrics ==========

The golden curtains
Are burning down
This great palace I built
Is falling to the ground
And I pay no mind, no
While everybody’s losing theirs
And I cut the ties
No longer while I look behind

Go forward, what are the odds
Of not finding nothing
Keep forward, pushing strong
Their words mean nothing

Their words mean nothing (8x)

You would always say
That you never had enough
When you had it all

Having everything was never
Quite enough
What do you want?

A restless need won’t let you sleep my friend
What do you want?

Having everything is a bless and a course
What do you want?

Sometimes things don’t matter at all
At all times you should be who you are
Life as we are, we are, we are, we are
To live life as we are, we are, we are
