Somewhere Nicer, a lament of despair
A cathartic (?) song for those days where you wake up and look at your own life or the news from the world and feel nothing but despair and helplessness. Some days are better than others but as long as there’s life…
Made on an iPad
Lyrics in the spoiler
Take me
Somewhere nicer,
Some place brighter,
Where we could feel at ease,
Just doing what we please
Without hurting each other.
And make it warmer...
What a mess we made...
Look at the fading days,
Look at the babies' eyes
We poison with our lies.
Does someone know the answer ?
And take us some place higher !

Wow! Verrry thom yorke! No offense!
Very nicier!
I am so happy to see more work from your fertile imagination.
The variety of your work is one of the most impressive attributes.
With this one you're working in a very delicate range of expression... very vulnerable but tinged with hope.
Frailty/effective, a thing on the verge of breaking. I love the soundscape, and the impressive vocal range demonstrated .
The vocals can definitely transport you to a very nice place, and I am floating in this wonderful creation.
A very original and truly hip musical scape!!!
Lovely, simply lovely vocals!!!
Thanks for sharing.

No offense taken ! Some people dislike or even hate him but I personally love his work ! So I take this as a great compliment.
Definitely very Thom Yorke. You are EXTREMELY talented JF! Love it my friend
This pic also really suits it!
Me too! And it was definitely meant as a compliment!
Another beautiful, emotion filled performance. You've matched the mood of your lyrics perfectly with your vocals.
So very thanksier!
Rhapsode…
In ancient Greece, a rhapsody was a selection of epic poetry sung by a rhapsode or rhapsodist—literally a 'stitcher' who combined memorized passages with his own improvisations, although this kind of minstrel was later required chiefly to recite Homer's Iliad and Odyssey in their established versions.
This is really a beautiful piece of work.
I understand the Thom Yorke references but I’m reminded of Sigur Ros at times.
Love them both so it’s a huge thumbs up from me.
Ultimately this is all you though.
Beautifully overwhelming.. a longing for..
Painful.. mournful.. yet.. uplifting.. hopeful..
That’s one of the best performances I’ve heard in a long while.. your vocals are outstanding..
absolutely potent.. out of despair this rises.. this is what music is all about.. to touch people..
Can’t stop listening to it..
Thank you, @McD for the kind words. Glad you were able to see the glimpse of hope. It is definitely there, hidden.
Wow, I love this picture. Which AI did you use? I used Dall-E 2 for the artwork on SoundCloud...
Curious to know the prompt you used for this one. I am considering an official release for this track on streaming services and this could be perfect for the artwork.
Thanks! I'm glad you like it and you're welcome to use it wherever. I used Dall-E for this and the prompt was "An old fashioned microphone stand on the edge of the Grand Canyon, dramatic lighting". I was trying to get it to show one of those old radio era mics but I gave up; didn't want to use up my credits. I usually end up doing some touch ups in photoshop.
"a thing on the verge of breaking" describes very well the overall feeling. Thank you for the kind words!
Hi, Rene !
You are the tireless ray of sunshine of this forum. Thank you for being so supportive to all creators here !
May nothing but happiness comes through your door.
Thanks for chiming in and for the kind words, Gavin! I can't deny my love for Thom Yorke's work. At some point, any musician or creator has to fully assume their artistic influences and aesthetics and play with them. Despite some obvious similarities, my only hope is that some listeners will perceive something honest and unique and not just a bland ersatz...
What can I say that hasn't been already said?????
This is an exceptional performance, I LOVE it I LOVE it I LOVE it !!!!!!! And I love you too!
Everything is just simply perfect: your voice is amazing, the music is extraordinary, I lack superlatives here.
One major complaint though: IT IS EFFING TOO SHORT!!!!
🙏
Thank you for the kind words! I had the music completed one year ago but lyrics with vocals melody came to me in a flash and were recorded straight away. I took about an hour from writing to recording. The immediacy of the process might explain why lyrics mood and vocals interpretation are matching.
amazing song, thank you
Thank you for listening Mike! More on Iliad and Odyssey coming soon!
Thank you for listening and for the kind words ! Really love Sigur Ros too, so I take this as a great compliment! !
Thank you for all the kind comments! Glad you enjoyed the track !
Thank you for listening, Joseph! Such a lot of praises in your comment, don't know what to say... I indeed kept it short, because this is not the kind of feeling you want to get stuck with for too long... I love you too ! Thanks again !
Thank you!
