The Twists And Turns Of Youth

Dusted off the trusty old Volca Drum machine to create the beat for this one. In years past I used it quite a lot, including on many of the early Smoking Trout tracks, but it had been a little while. I'm also continuing to experiment with longer stretches of guitar, and incorporated most of the synth arsenal on this one. This was kind of inspired by reading the news here in the US, a strange mixture of depressing and ridiculous weirdness haha.

End Time Blues

Loneliness, Turmoil, Love or all the above... The latest from S.Y.B.

Alone in this world you kept your thoughts to yourself
You avoided every girl when you thought they'd hurt you
They wanted to know you and you kept to yourself
You put your love away and you keep it on a shelf

Don't keep dragging me down
You know there's love to be found
If you just look around 
But don't keep dragging me down

Take me out of this material world
And into a new one
Make me keep looking for the elusive girl
The one that's never been found
And every time you've been clowned
By the one that's never been found

It's been a long time since you've been out in the world
I know it hurts you and you're sad about the girls

Don't Keep Dragging Me Down

@TexMex-Shaman and I are back in action once again with another heavier industrial track. This one is particularly uptempo, probably our fastest song yet. Stephen's guitarwork is next level on here! And he's got an especially cool part toward the end featuring the ebow.

The post promotes "SIRENS - ΣΕΙΡΗΝΕΣ" by CHRIS JUNOS, a track on SoundCloud, with the Greek title hinting at a connection to the mythological sirens from Homer’s Odyssey, known for their enchanting voices, as detailed in a 2025 Wikipedia update on siren mythology.
This release coincides with a Netflix series "Sirens," launched in May 2025, which blends Greek mythology with modern black comedy, suggesting CHRIS JUNOS may be tapping into a cultural resurgence of siren themes in media.
The timing aligns with a 2025 Metacritic report on new music releases, indicating a peak period for electronic and ambient genres, potentially boosting the track’s visibility among niche audiences.

Excerpt Phoenix Rising of: Numerology, Reflections and Me (Never Alone)

Her Echo is a song about memory, loss, and what remains in the stillness.
Soft piano meets a female voice filled with sorrow, depth, and fragile beauty.

All melodies, vocal phrasing, dynamics, and lyrics were fully composed and written by me.
All other instruments were either recorded manually or arranged using high-quality VSTs – including libraries from EastWest, Native Instruments, Kontakt, Opus, and Komplete.
This is 100% my own musical vision – handcrafted, emotional, and real.

🕯️ Lyrics:

Shadows fall where light once stayed,
Whispers echo dreams we made.
Time moves on, but I remain,
Holding on through silent pain.

I remember… all we were,
In the stillness, in the blur.
Every heartbeat, every sigh,
Lives in me though you’re not by my side.

Leaves still dance where we would stand,
Traces fading in the sand.
I reach out, but you're not near,
Only silence answers here.

I remember… all we were,
In the stillness, in the blur.
Every heartbeat, every sigh,
Lives in me though you’re not by my side.

Reminiscence in my soul,
You’re the part that made me whole...
**The voice was realized using ACE Studio.

Note: This track was entirely composed, performed, arranged, and produced by myself – without the use of artificial intelligence.
Creating authentic music with real emotion and personality is important to me. Thank you for listening and for your support.

🕯️ Songtext:

Schatten fallen, wo einst Licht verweilte,
Flüstern tragen Träume, die wir teilten.
Die Zeit vergeht, doch ich bleib’ besteh’n,
Halte fest – in stillem Schmerz vergeh’n.

Ich erinn’re mich… an unser Sein,
In der Stille, mittendrin, allein.
Jeder Herzschlag, jeder Seufzer –
lebt in mir, auch wenn du nicht mehr bei mir bist.

Blätter tanzen, wo wir einst gestanden,
Spuren, die im Sand bald verschwanden.
Ich greif nach dir – doch du bist fern,
Nur das Schweigen bleibt mir noch so gern.

Ich erinn’re mich… an unser Sein,
In der Stille, mittendrin, allein.
Jeder Herzschlag, jeder Seufzer –
lebt in mir, auch wenn du nicht mehr bei mir bist.

Erinnerung – tief in meiner Seele,
Du warst der Teil, der mich einst ganz machte...
***Die Stimme wurde mit ACE Studio realisiert.

Her Echo (Reminiscence)

The post promotes "PARAMYTHI (fairytale) - ΠΑΡΑΜΥΘΙ," a track by Chris Junos, a Greek electronic musician from Alexandroupoli, blending IDM, ethnic Balkan, and Mediterranean sounds, recorded live without digital audio workstations, as noted on his Bandcamp page.
The Greek word "παραμύθι" (paramýthi) traditionally means "fairy tale" and ties to oral storytelling traditions, potentially reflecting Junos' cultural roots, with recent studies showing how such narratives influence modern music composition (e.g., Journal of Ethnomusicology, 2023).

The world spins on a razor’s edge,

Night and day entwined in waltz,

Order whispers, chaos shouts,

Both are needed, neither false.

Lightning forks the tranquil sky,

Roots hold fast in shifting sand,

We are the balance, you and I—

Paradox cupped in trembling hands.

So let us paint with storm and sun,

Let us write with fire and rain,

For in the chaos, we become—

Alive, awake, unchained.//

The Paradox in Balance: Equilibrium of Chaos
/
The world, at its core, is not a tidy ledger of order and disorder, but a living paradox—a dance of opposites, forever teetering on the edge. We crave stability, yet find ourselves drawn to the unpredictable. We build systems, only to watch them unravel. In this, the world reveals its true nature: an equilibrium of chaos.
/
Paradox is not a flaw; it is the engine.
Order and chaos are not enemies, but partners in creation. The tides rise and fall, the seasons turn, civilizations bloom and decay. Every heartbeat is a negotiation between rhythm and randomness. Art, too, is born in this tension: the painter’s brush moves with intention, but the paint splatters unpredictably; the poet chooses each word, but meaning slips and shifts.
/
To live is to balance on the wire of contradiction.
Embrace the paradox, and you find freedom. Deny it, and you drift into delusion. The true artist, the true thinker, does not flee from chaos—they harness it, shaping it into something new. The world is not broken; it is alive with possibility, always remaking itself at the edge of chaos. /

HUMANOIDS! THE BALANCE IS THE BATTLE
You, who fear the storm—remember:

The calm is only meaningful because of the chaos that surrounds it.

Do not seek only order!

Order alone is stagnation, a pond gone foul.

Chaos alone is destruction, a fire without end.

But together—together!—they are the pulse of the universe.

The world is a paradox in balance.

You are not lost in the storm.

You are the tightrope walker, arms outstretched,

dancing above the abyss.

Embrace the equilibrium of chaos.

Let it fuel your art, your life, your revolution.

The world is not meant to be tamed—it is meant to be ridden,

like a wild wave beneath a burning sky.
