Covering the poet

On the 12th of December, I participated in a special event, namely, a modern poetic evening. In the spirit of the Dragotin Kette, our great poet and writer from Novo mesto. The basic idea of all the different artistic approaches to interpret poems of Dragotin Kette. But in the end, somehow, I was the only one who has applied to this event and therefore I had two days to cover ten poems of Kette, make music for them and introduce them to audience. Interesting. I’ve prepared about 4 songs, but because I ran out of time, I did most of them on the stage. And fortunately, in the end it was cool. Then later, my dear friend MC Alex joined me on the stage and we performed one song in a different way. He was rapping and I was plaing a guitar riff from Eminem’s song Lose Yourself. With no previous exercises. And every now and then, I added yeah, yeah, common. It was cool and interesting :)
Here are some pictures from the event. Video clip is coming…

Tribute to John Lennon

On the 8th of December 1980, John Lennon was murdered, shot by a crazed ‘fan’ in New York City. As is perhaps compulsory in some quarters on the anniversaries of his birth and death, if not boldly unoriginal, listen to his anthemic ‘Imagine’… and, well, just imagine.


Thirty years after the death of John Lennon, its ideas and efforts are still very alive, perhaps more than ever. Messages of its songs are better than every Sunday church mass, better than a false promises of politicians and better than a utopian systems of control and greed.
John Lennon is one of the few artists who could run the world and bring peace on Earth only with their songs, if people would be willing to accept these messages, of course.

In the song “Imagine”, John Lennon expressed his hope for the positive change and the dissolution of the herd with the phrase

“You may say that I’m a Dreamer
But I’m not the only one
Someday I hope you’ll join us
And the world will be as one “

And I think that we are trapped in a time where these changes are more necessary than ever before. We know what is wrong with the system and our society, a lot of artists and wise men are trying to open our eyes and finally Earth itself is trying to wake us up that we’ll at least be awaken at her funeral. But why we’re still so blind? What is still needed for the people to began to listen and think about all the messages and calls which they hear?

Perhaps in the end it will all be like in some low-budget action movie. Everybody knows what is wrong, everyone knows what to do, but nobody does nothing. In the end, when it is too late, they regret that they have not made changes before.
But you are the rulers of your life! You decide what happens to you, despite all the worms and bricks in the system that want to put you in the herd! Do not let them! You should rather turn the speakers on and listen to these messages in all these songs! And follow these messages. These are not only songs, these are the new Bibles!

And in memory of John Lennon I made my version of his song “Working class hero”. I hope I didn’t do it injustice.
Do not be a brick in the Wall! There’s no time to imagine anymore! Tear down your Wall now!

Dance of the praying mantis

Sledeč posnetek je slideshow video za instrumental z naslovom "Dance of the praying mantis".

Video naj bi kronološko pokazal grozote in smrtni davek religije ter medverskih sporov in sovraštva. Temu je namenjen tudi sam komad. Dance of the praying mantis (Ples bogomoljke) je instrumental komad namenjen verskim zablodam ter sovraštvu in smertnemu davku, ki ga cerkev povzroča oziroma ga je povzročila in ga še bo.




Če mi je spot uspelo narediti v tem duhu pa presodite sami. In komentirajte, če želite!

Stage of the day for Syd Fletcher

Today I've been chosen for the highlight on the home page of Talenttrove.com. This is one of the best music portal and online radio.

Don't hurt the child

This is my new poem.


DON'T HURT THE CHILD

You can kill me gently, you can kill me rough.
You can torture me with machines, I wont say "Enough!"
You can beat me up, painfully and wild,
But please, don't hurt the child!

You can starve me till I'm death
If you want I'll be your little pet.
If you want I'll be mild,
But please, don't hurt the child!

I'm almost at the end,
I've seen the world.
So if you wanjt somebody, take ME you thief!
But don't hurt the child, let him live!

If you want to trade go to the mall,
If you want to rape, buy a doll.
If you want to dig gold and if you want to rule,
Don't hurt the child, he's not your tool!

If you want to drop bombs, drop them on me,
if you want to take a life, take mine for free.
If you want to be a master, I'll be your slave,
Just don't hurt the child, please keep him save!

If you want to have war, I'll play with you,
If you want to rule the world, I'll follow you!
If you want to be a violent father, I'll be your son,
Just don't hurt the child, let him dream on!

The poem

This is my new song. The text is quite finished and I'm working on a music at the moment.

If you want, you can comment here and leave me some feedback.


The life I live is finally ending
I'll soon will rest in a harmless peace
Only dirt and dust, so dark and cold
I'm young, but I feel really old.

Where is the joy that they are promising?
Where is the happiness that I've heard about?
When will be time for my salvation?
The sun's obscured by a rainy cloud.

They took away the hope,
They took away my freedom
There is no path for me to take,
It seems that all my life is a mistake.

REF:

Is the life living or dying?
Am I weak when I am crying?
And when I'm gone and I'll be released
Will I be forgotten or will I be missed?

---

The truth I used to believe in is now rotten,
The little boy in mirror is now forgotten
The story of my father still not revealed,
The deepest wounds still not healed.

The migrens are killing my inspiration,
My pockets are always full of holes,
My family and friends think I'm a loser,
But I'm still wondering for Whom the bell tools.

Please give me a hammer to tear down my wall
And I'll be laughing when all the bricks will fall
And I'll finally see the other side
And the night will finally turn into the light.

New song

Well, this is my new song. I'm still thinking about the title and I'm recording it right now. The song talks about corrupted system of this society and hope about tomorrow. Share your feelings and opinion about this song please. Comment and post your feedback.


The times of greed are still not ending,
But people, they are still pretending
And only the richest can be free
And the imprisoned are you and me.

And the Earth, the Earth is dying,
With rain and floods she is crying
And green is slowly turning into the black
And we don't see there will be no turning back.

And there are people living wealthy
And there are people with control
But in the darkest part of the city
People eat what they have stole.

REF:

Why oh why we're praying to the sky
When there is no one there who listens
And it is on us to survive.
And when we come to the end.
We finally face out doubts and fears
There wont be no one beside our bed
To wipe off our tears


Misleading by the truths and believes
Blinded by the laws and religion
But the truth lies deep inside forgotten
Our mind and souls are rotten

The prophet stood upon the herd
And told the sheep what they needed to heard
The secrets of the resurrection
The secret path to the perfection.

And they all stand up and shout
They hope there is no doubt
They finally broke the chains
To feel the blood that runs through their veins.

REF


I hope the future will be the shelter
To hide from reality that frightens me
All the memories that are forgotten
I'm blinded by the lies and I just can't see

S I tell you now my dear friend
I hope I'll meet you at the end
We'll live and dance, forgetting yesterday
And ignoring all the games they play.

I live all my life try not to obey
And not to be a pawn in this game they play
Tray to be the wolf instead of sheep
But it always hurts when I feel the strike of their whip.

The day of hope!

Today is the day of hope. It is a day of changes. The day when we may look to the future with positive thoughts. In front of the largest audience in the history of the United States will sworn the first black president of the U.S., Barack Obama.

I hope that things will turn for the better and the world will step on the path of changes in the common desire for peace and love.

There was a man who had a dream. I hope that with today, his dream will finally come true.





“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.”

Hey hey, My my

This is my version of Neil Young's song called Hey hey, My my. Please comment :)



Hey hey, My my
We are all just born to die
And we spend all of our live, wondering why,
Hey hey, my my

We live our lives, searching for gold,
because we must be rich, so we are told
And we're searching for the fortune till we are old,
And then the life is the only thing that we have sold.

The prophet is gone, but he made people think,
this is the story of Martin Luther King
And they shot him down because he didn't lie,
Hey hey, my my

And leaders speak about free nation,
but there is still sign of a segregation
And people are still colorblind,
because all they can see is just black&white.

And I hope someday they will look to the sky
and they'll find the truth and they'll open their eyes
But this will happens when pigs will fly,
Hey hey, my my


Written by Tilen Hrovatic (a.k.a. Syd Fletcher)

My new song

Queen

Thinking of you,
thinking of me,
where would we be
if we could see?

I don't know why,
we said goodbye
before we try,
try to fly to the sky.

Maybe it's fear that tears us apart,
maybe we are too weak to fight with this guard
Maybe I just pulled the wrong card,
But I think it is you who tears us apart.

But I can tell, because I know,
I found the solution, I found the cure,
And I think that there is still hope for you and me,
Baby you're the one who can set me free!

Just try to see my bright side,
Baby for you I would die in a fight,
Darling you really mean the world to me
My freedom is in chains and you have the key.

So open your door, when I ring your bell,
because love is the only thing that I want to sell
Believe in me baby, I wont let you down.
You are my queen and you don't need a crown.

Please comment my new song. Well, it's just lyrics now but I'm working on tunes at the moment.
I'm wondering if I should record it...????
