Listen To THERE IS A RIVER Spoken Word Song By CitizenMofo2 At Looperman.com

Description : I think of this as "melodic talking" rather than "spoken word" or "rap", but I always struggle with what to label my stuff. The music is drum and voice, very basic. Mixed using Audacity (not in the list).
Look back to your forebears, look ahead to your children and their children, and that - that chain of generations - is your river - of life, of DNA, of blood. It's a potent metaphor for me and I keep trying to capture it in a song. What do you think of this one?

Thanks citizen, for the vote of confidence regarding my voice, I basically sing for pleasure, I enjoyed my time when I was in the limelight on stage performing. I don't care too much for the way the music business is today but having said that I'm still in demand, yes I do have a lot of people wanting to work with me but I enjoy doing my own thing, such a rebel lol.. but who knows, maybe in the near future I can sing on one of your tracks, it would be an honor, thanks again, keep up the awesome work! :)

Hi citizen,

You are an awesome writer?...I also sometimes use metaphors when I write my songs, your lyrics are just brilliant! seriously, this is so deep and relevant. The children are the future, we have to protect them, especially in the world we are living in, they learn by example, so we have to be upright. I love your metaphors, like I said they are deep and absolutely captured the feeling in the song, this is truly unique and compelling. One thing I like is when people create and think outside of the box, especially with regards to music...GREAT! work and thank you for your support on my songs, keep bringing us something with real meaning and substance.

Faved.

Thank you, Miss Sweetcherries. I appreciate you very much. As it happens, I make a living as a writer, though not as a songwriter. I love to write songs because you can do anything and go anywhere in three minutes. There's tremendous power and beauty available in a tiny space. My family is my everything so I especially love to write songs about them.
As for you, well, I've listened to all 10 of your songs now. And of course one can't comment - except here. First, I must say that your apartment is even noisier than mine. Then I must say, your voice is magic. Your instrument is a Stradivarius and you know how to play it. I mean, seriously. I just hope you're a millionaire because you deserve to be if talent and passion are rewarded in this world. I would love to make some songs with you someday, so consider me stepping up to the end of what is probably a very long line.

Description : We've reached the limit of LM. Some songs will have to be removed but there are things left yet. I have to complete my "album" and I'd like very much to show to you a nice idea which includes poetry. I've had a conversation with chat GPT about a poem of mine and it gave me a suggestion of a musical presentation of such poems. There are more so I dared to try the idea. Great help in rendering the poem to English (not a translation word by word) and cool ideas about the setup of the audio file.

Description : Shades of HipnoSis is Sexy! Shades of HipnoSis is romantic, soulful, hip hop & R&B. It's also very poetical. He's talking about how this sensual female put him in a trance. After the initial lyrics,
Kamal let's the groove ride so you can ride with it. Enjoy the female neo soul voice on the hook as well.

Check tempo

My Guitar and Harmonica - both treated
Reading of Poem Softly by Aaron Kramer
Main beat is a drum loop, with a kick added and one sample - all manipulated
Other versions had more percussion but not needed I think

Description : Spoken Word with Rhythm. It's a song about dedication and being there for the one you love. People can easily say what they are going to do but not really mean any of the words. I learned a hard lesson in that today.

Description : Something a bit different (is it?) based on a poetry piece from Arthur Rimbaud. It's a bit difficult to translate this text but this is pure genius IMHO: I put the french poem in the Lyrics... ok some french characters are not supported so sorry no Lyrics and you'll have to look it up :)
VOYELLES, Arthur Rimbaud, Poesies.
