The Colour of Our Love is Black and Blue It must be easy to be you You don't get hurt Nothing gets through You pull my hair and don't let go I punch you hard but it doesn't show It's over and you know it's true The colour of our love is black and blue And it's all my fault that I let you stop me from breathing It's not up to you to let me go Cause I'm already leaving I never thought I could hate you Hate who you are Hate what you do I could explode and kill you Or you could kill me before I do It's over and you know it's true The colour of our love is black and blue

Why pull the stars from the sky You know the reason why The milk way could not compare You were born to shine Bath me in the warm glow of your light you're the only star in the sky Tonight

I'm loading my laser gun Aiming at you, cos there's no time to run Now I got you my sight It's time for you feel my might Chorus Picture me I'm dressed to kill I even give myself a thrill don't resist, soon you'll adore me Amuse myself, until you bore me Adjusting my power from 1 to 11 Megawatt smile to take you to heaven Pulled into an orbit, a shinning star Try to escape you'll not get far Repeat Chorus Over to you Capt. Aquatic A.K.A. CKP! My laser's set on stunning My tractor beams got you running To my rocket ship of loving Sonically I got you coming (danger crash zone!) Around and around and around and around Call me the banshee of getting down My X-factor makes me fantastic The Nightcrawler who is charismatic If you prefer we can get aquatic The motion of the ocean is hypnotic Go down in my submarine Explore what's deep and in between I'm The King Picture me I'm dressed to kill I even give myself a thrill My gun will fill you with delight But please don't ask to stay the night

When all 3 bodies take form as one. No more regression you could throw me to sun Hey hey hey hey hey hey x2 I don't wanna wait for my life to be over Take it on yourself be the instigator Maybe if I break all these dreams of heart ache We can put them back together with a life you can't shake Cause I'm fearless x2 Rockin' over me till I can't breath Like a hurricane i'm a new strain What do you take me for? Insane x4 We learn we love We try to hard We turn to run what's done is done x2 I don't wanna wait for my life to be over It's just a cause cause it get's better Cause I'm Fearless Rockin' over me Till I can't breath Like a hurricane i'm a new strain What do you take me for? x3 When all 3 bodies take form as one (Repeat) No more regression you could throw me to the sun What do you take me for?

Once, I knew a fine song, -- It is true, believe me -- It was all of birds, And I held them in a basket; When I opened the wicket, Heavens! They all flew away. I cried, "Come back, little thoughts!" But they only laughed. They flew on Until they were as sand Thrown between me and the sky.

The tempest raged we were helpless, the groaning house about to yield Then in half-light by the fireside, in a loud voice Usher cried : "At last it's here" "Can't you see how it surrounds us? Its fury brings us to our knees Now I will go and let the storm in, the guilt of generations flooding out. Here comes the flood"

Little black boy On your feet Stick to your side of the street Little red girl Go on home I’ll be waitin' there to move ya And you’ll never roam Big bank take little bank Don’t you know it? Little yellow princess Tie your feet Stay in this house Earn your keep Daddy got blowed up On the railroad And we’re sorry I think I’m the big bank You’re the little bank Big bank take little bank And do my bidding Hey, you out in the field Your hands are rough Do you miss Your Mom and Dad Across the border? Must be tough To suffer your children To come unto us We know we done Fucked up so bad We can’t make it up I’m the big bank You’re the little bank Big bank take little bank And do my bidding Or suffer your children To come unto us We know we done Fucked up so bad But we can’t make it up I’m the big bank And you’re the little bank

The devil doesn’t always show his horns, He hides them pretty well Didn’t feel I’d struck a deal that started out in hell His cloven hooves reside inside quite ordinary shoes NOW I'M CAUGHT BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE BLUES His clientele adore him, they fail to understand That he’s a touchy-feely, crawly-creepy sleazeball of a man He covers his misogyny with bonhomie and booze NOW I'M CAUGHT BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE BLUES I should have told the world that this is where the story ends But I took that filthy money, I was civil to his friends I gotta pay my bills, so it was lose, lose, lose NOW I'M CAUGHT BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE BLUES The devil doesn’t always show his horns, He hides them pretty well I didn’t feel I’d struck a deal that started out in hell I gotta pay my bills, so it was lose, lose, lose NOW I'M CAUGHT BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE BLUES

Sweet Jesus things were complete when we used to phone He's got my lighters and my needles but he doesn't sew It's just a hurricane baby I'm Moses I'll get the doses Cause sweet Jesus is nodding heart stopping Sweet Jesus is stoned Sweet Jesus when you coming around Sweet Jesus you come around with no Sound You got me dizzy You got me spinning around Oh Sweet Jesus you're never coming around I know you want it all I want to shoot you up with gold Get you addicted to the kindness until you're so blind Sweet Jesus is stoned Hanging with the savior there might be some complications Explain your exact location who are you following now Sweet Jesus is stoned Sweet Jesus when you coming around Sweet Jesus you come around with no Sound You got me dizzy You got me spinning around Oh Sweet Jesus you're never coming around

Should The Sadness Occur & you won't hear from me should the sadness occur I will not be seen so hurt should the sadness occur all in a time, I felt divine shoulders & spine once in my life, learned how to fly despite being blind & you won't hear from me should the sadness occur I will not be seen so hurt should the sadness occur then I won't feel a thing if it's sadness you bring you won't hear a thing I sing should the sadness come sting smile I may, some other way how freedom reigns once upon times, I soared through your sky to spite being grounded & you won't hear from me should the sadness occur

Soundcloud is a great music platform for making connections and collaborating with other artists. For those who remember the golden age of Soundcloud (circa 2013-2016), the long removed groups were a great place for like-minded musicians to begin forming on-line virtual bands and assembling music collectives and alliances. Once the SoundCloud music community further organized in secret Facebook groups, stronger bonds were established and promotional networks between likeminded musicians were fully activated. Musicians began regularly collaborating within their bonded associations and collectively promoting across social media platforms. Hopes were high of getting their music noticed and heard by the general public who was taking increasing notice of the growing SoundCloud platform. During this time, some of the most active and popular musicians within the collectives would periodically make it to the SoundCloud charts but the spirit of the cloud remained fiercely creative, independent, and authentic. SoundCloud would soon disband the groups that people loved so much and enable reposts which would flood the streams encouraging repost pages to proliferate. Mega alliance with increasingly aggressive promotional tactics would soon be formed once effective strategies to reaching mass general listening audiences and high charting success were discovered. The authentic spirit would soon give way to increasing self-promotion and insincerity as many independent musicians all sought their chance to finally be heard.

This compilation represents some of the best works from musicians associated with one of these early alliances. Most of these musicians continue to actively independently release music and collaborate with each other on projects. The bulk of the songs on this compilation were originally released in either 2015 or 2016, with the rest being released between 2017 and 2019.

Music Is Elation released their first community compilation Music Is Elation Greatest Hits Vol. 1 (musiciselation.bandcamp.com/album/music-is-elation-greatest-hits-vol-1) on Bandcamp in 2017.
Music Is Elation: Greatest Hits Vol. 2 (musiciselation.bandcamp.com/album/music-is-elation-greatest-hits-volume-2) was released on January 20, 2019 and raised almost $100 in donations to Shelter in the UK (england.shelter.org.uk.)

This compilation is intended to continue the support, inspiration, and encouragement to make music as a community.
