The Impending...

lyrics:

"Do you hear that?..."

There’s a feeling things are changing 
And it’s coming ‘round the bend 
It’s a signal something’s coming to an end

And the sky it starts to darken 
And the wind begins to blow 
There’s no reason for the season to be so

When your world’s about to shatter 
And the pieces come undone 
There’s an urgency to leave before the battle has begun

There’s a moment in the madness 
When the questions all resolve 
And you focus on the only thing involved

Something wicked this way comes 
Something wicked this way comes

It’s The Impending… 
It’s The Impending… 
It’s The Impending…

There's something strange with every change
the familiar gets rearranged

The thing we fear is something we can’t see:
The “what-is-not-but-is-about-to-be”

Something wicked this way comes 
Something wicked this way comes

It’s The Impending…

"Here it comes!…"

In the distance trees are trembling 
And the sky is dark with dust 
And your guests have all departed in disgust

Like a stinging accusation
 Like a sudden realization
 Like the handcuffs closing firmly on your wrists

Something wicked this way comes 
Something wicked this way comes

It’s The Impending… 
It’s The Impending… 
It’s The Impending…

It’s The Impending…

Updated 17MAR2019:
An old man reliving the joys of his youth, when he was blazing trails into analog synthesis at the the Boston School of Electronic Music in the 70's - currently using Propellerheads' Reason V10 with various Rack Extensions and VSTis... 

A variety of tracks in various states of completion...

Some songs , some instrumentals, some loops or soundtrack-appropriate tunes, in a variety of "styles".

All are original compositions. All music and lyrics by Dave Read, except where noted.



Check out @BSEM for tracks made by me and others at the Boston School of Electronic Music during the 70's.

Also check out @ameebadood for tracks by me and Judy Rochat done in the early 2000's.

And now epiphany algorithm @epiphanyalgorithm : Collaborations between me and Scott Kauffman (Daughters Of Industry, Rent Me, Current Device). (Our previous "band" name "YOINK!" was being used by too many other soundcloud folks.)
