On The Outside (2019)

Like A Stone (Dark Country) - Audioslave

night rolls out. you can hear your doubts. all your thoughts and fears cry, "everything goes away!" hold my hand. everything goes away.

and you don't know how much you can take 'cause you don't know how much your heart can break when you've seen enough, when you've heard it all, when you've left it out on the cutting floor, and you know... the curtain call.

Amish Rage - The Curtain Call (feat. Aaron Kant)

This is our late night, voice memo contribution to the global pile of indie-pop quarin-tunes.

"Marigolds" by Russ Stone and Annie Nirschel: they met at a murder mystery seahorse jamboree in 2004 and have been quarantining together ever since. They are not friends.

Life - Pierre Opperman

When The Roses Lose Their Bloom

I started out with the idea of Winter as a spirit, but decided to just make it a ghost and the cold air and landscape is more or less a metaphorical  atmosphere. This is much more ambient than our other songs.

What do you think?  Have we gone off the deep end?  Too ambient?

Lyrics;
The roses lose their bloom
As autumn marches in
And bare become the branches
From the cold foreboding wind

And she rises with the moon
Like a wave upon the shore
A spector from the dark
Frozen to the core

Ice will meet the stone
Along the riverbed
And crystallize the air
Where her lonely spirit treads

When the stars begin to fade
And the moon is in retreat
Silently she cries
On the cold deserted street

To where her spirit dwells
her lonely journey ends
'Till once more night will fall
And she rises once again

And the roses lose their bloom
As autumn marches in
And bare become branches
From the cold foreboding wind

When The Roses Lose Their Bloom

Babe, do you think I'm too tinder tender
While unsure of one another's gender?
The sign on my screen
says I'm wasting my time.
You seek a crown for your coronation
You're all over the place
but you're nowhere
Scratching my head
How did we end up like this
Turned so bad
You could say it's all too vanilla

The Future lovers
Real, not on screen
No digital touching
Not selling a dream
You could say it's a love guerilla
Even think it's all too vanilla
We better stick to the match algorithm.

thank you for trusting me with your work ... I had a few goes at this .. Initially using the opening flourish in a toccata and fugue mimic .. However it turned out ham fisted and the opposite of what I had imagined ... I awoke at 4 in the morning .. Simplified it and then let the atmosphere and transmissions  around me dictate where it went ... Feel the force Luke etc etc ...  I am merely an antenna .. You did all the work G ....Its turned out nice again G ... R :)

thank you for stopping by. i don’t know how you stumbled in here, but i'm glad you made it.

one of these days, we'll get some proper recordings done with a proper band and a proper sound engineer and a proper producer and some proper guitar props, but for now, i've pretty well embraced the lofi-aesthetic and do all of my recordings on a four-track in a walk-in closet. it gives my songs a nice dusty attic sort of a feel to them, which i find quite enchanting. perhaps you do as well.

questions, comments, and concerns are always welcome. i'm always game to explore remixes and collaborations as well.

eh, and if you've read this far, please poke around at some of the links below. music has been a sinkhole of an investment over the years, but it really is my heart and my soul, so i really do appreciate any and all support. there are also a handful of things available for free download over at bandcamp if i'm not mistaken. 

anywho, thanks again for stopping by. cheerio, mate.
