My homage to Fabio Frizzi's amazing score to The Beyond. I included quotes from the movie. No copyright infringement intended.

Trash TV Theme

updated 2019 mix with a proper Hofner bass and a wee-bit busier drum part during the bridge

And her smile
brightens up the sky
and her smile
begs the question why
And her smile
will shake the whole earth
And her smile will untether the universe

And her smile
makes me want to hide
And her smile
makes me weak inside
Yeah her smile drives me wild for better or worse
and her smile will untether the universe

CHORUS
Her face launched a thousand ships
Hers is the kiss you wish to taste on your lips
Hers are the eyes that defy reason
you'll do whatever her bidding
even if just for a while

Because her smile
I crossed broken glass
And her smile
made me gave all I have
Yeah her smile is the idol you'll bless or curse
And her smile will untether the universe

CHORUS
Her face launched a thousand ships
Hers is the kiss you wish to taste on your lips
Hers are the eyes that defy reason
you'll do whatever her bidding

BRIDGE
Don't try to discover her motives they remain hidden
from prying eyes of mortals
they're a mystery
you can't pretend
to begin
to fathom
they unwind
they unbind
the fabric of the cosmos
is really far too fragile
she pulls a single thread
watch the whole thing unravel
because her smile

And Her Smile Will Untether the Universe

Time and time and time again
time and tide wait for no man
Tried and true I'm telling you
if you hold your breath you'll just turn blue

The ocean waves will wash away
The castles you built yesterday
Flags and crowns will all fall down
Kings and peasants will be the same

the same
the same

The man who labored in the sun
The man who worked an hour is done
The crucified thief, the deathbed saints,
The righteous who never falters or faints

The same
The same

The	color fades from hair, eyes and skin
the lower your sight dims

The	distance between two points ends
the further away you stand

(c) 2019 Alan Sessler

The Same

I imagined if David Bowie wrote a track for Miami Vice, and this is it.

She Waits

A more polished version of the original track. Tightened up the doubled vocal. Added some police sirens for ambience, shaker during the verse, piano in the pauses and some congas at the outro. Oh yeah, doubled the drum part with a Linn LM1 drum machine with enough delay to give it that Phil Collins In the Air Tonight flavor.

She Waits (remixed)

Young Leslie is ice skating on the frozen lake, but someone is lurking in the woods, watching from afar.

Leslie's Little Spill

The score for my soon-to-be animated commercial for my new ghost story/activity book for adults: Tootie's Not Too Cool Adventures.

Tootie Commercial Score

Heroes By Night

A rough sketch of my sea shanty, the first line inspired by Warren McMaster. 

That mighty gale
she blows like a bellows
She'll test your mettle
and prove every fellow

From whate’er stock
she'll forge an iron will-o
Batten down your hatches
for one hell of a sail-o

CHORUS

Mind the sails and
mind the masts
Mind the yards
and hold ye fast

Man the pails and
Man the wax
Man the bilge
till the gale be passed

That old gale
she churns like a mother
She whips up the waves
to a froth just like butter

She'll turn you over
so hold fast me brothers
Turn the tiller toward trouble
and trust in your rudder

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Hold fast to the bitter end
when you’re three sheets to the wind
At last the gale will end
and we’ll find port again

CHORUS
