For Saskia and her dad (1935-2021)


[Rough English translation]
SOMEWHERE STILL HERE
Hey Dad, how are you
It's been a while
I miss you
I can still see you standing
Behind the front door
From the nursing home
How you kept waving
When we had to go

You couldn’t find your place
Didn’t get used to it there
You wanted to go home
With us
Until you forgot
Where your home was
Who everyone was
It all happened so fast

But it feels like you are somewhere
Somewhere still here with me
And know what I think

Hey Dad, I still see us
Together enjoying
Concerts by Bach
You with closed eyes
You were there for me
When I got depressed
That I was not alone
Spoke out of your face

And it feels like you are somewhere
Somewhere still here with me
And know what I think

Sometimes you were struggling
You could be angry, stubborn
Did not know what to do with yourself
The helplessness of your childhood
You came back to that again
A child, now skin and bone
That was always on its own
All alone

Hey Dad, I would
Like to talk to you
While I rub your shoulder
Somewhere still here, somewhere on earth
Where you are with me

From the album ‘Trust No Leaders’ by The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara. Released July 1, 2022. 

// The Pied Piper
“The Pied Piper” alludes to the medieval legend of the Rat-Catcher of Hamelin, the song talks about the complex interplay of power, control, and helplessness in modern society, drawing inspiration from the narrative style of the 1934 poem, “All of us or none” (Keiner oder alle), by the German political playwright, Bertolt Brecht.

// The Album
'Trust No Leaders' is a record that weaves a voyage through heavy metal history — from its roots in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal up until present day, fusing heavy metal with their signature ‘poetry performance’. Set against orchestral and cinematic soundscapes, the record also pays tribute to non-Western musical traditions, including Native American and South American folk music, Vedic chants, and Indo-Persian classical music. The lyrics bring together elements from modern theater, classical Persian poetry, to Jungian Psychology and theology. 

Commenting on the motivation behind Trust No Leaders, 
TCOMAS: "Our inspiration extends beyond musical genres and the confines of discipline.The confluence of influences in our album extend throughout time and across cultures. In retrospect, this really captures our ethos: Look back into the past for insight, and look into the future with foresight. And in doing so, we created something new of our own."

Landing about 15 months after their debut album Full Spectrum, the duo’s sophomore LP expresses a more aggressive side to the band and was recorded last summer at TCOMAS’ studio in Camden Town, London.   

Discussing the new album’s motivation, TCOMAS:
"The current crisis and the events of our time have made it necessary for us to analyse, investigate, and expose the issues in urgent need of systemic change by looking inwards into the human condition. We want the album to be a beacon of hope, for making a future that prioritises people and the environment."

// About The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara
Hailed as ‘pioneers of a new form of expression’ through the performance of poetry in music, The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara (TCOMAS) are a UK-based duo comprising Daphne Ang (Singapore) and Andrea Papi (Italy), who came together in London in early 2020 to record their debut album, Full Spectrum, released on 26 Feb 2021. Breaking new ground in the way they combine progressive music, poetry, and vision, TCOMAS fills a gap in music by bringing literature, theatre, and history, fusing rock and metal, with poetry performance. Their sophomore album, Trust No Leaders, is due to arrive on July 1, 2022.

Rip To Them Shreds (ft. Ryder)

Rip To Them Shreds (ft. Ryder)

In retrograde I lie awake in my bed every night
I’m tempting fate with all the things I would change if
I could live a whole nother life

And these thoughts just keep coming back to me
Regrets from the past they won’t let me sleep
Replay in my head endless suffering
Every word unsaid, things I never did

And the future that I dreamed
Is now crashing ‘fore my eyes
All the promises I made
All the things I sacrificed
Where do I go from here now?
To escape from my own mind?
I’ll build a time machine…

Go back and change my life, yeah
Change my life, yeah
I’d change my life, yeah
Change my life, yeah

Regrets yeah I’ve got a few
All of these deep scars on my arms like tattoos 
I cannot pretend they don’t hurt cos they do
I’m always bleeding internally
I should have-

I should have told her that I loved her
I should have shown my friends I cared
I should have grieved a little longer
I should have never been so scared

Cos the future that I dreamed
Is now crashing ‘fore my eyes
All the promises I made
All the things I sacrificed
Where do I go from here now?
To escape from my own mind?
I’ll build a time machine…

Go back and change my life, yeah
(Oh you know if I could)
I’d change my life, yeah
(Then you know that I would)
I’d change my life, yeah
(If only I could)
Change my life, yeah
(If only I could)

Regrets yeah I’ve got a few
I cannot change them even if I wanted to, oh no
I’ve gotta learn to live with this hurt inside of me

Thank you so much to all that have been listening and supporting, I have compiled a 4 track EP diving in a little further into my brain, I love you. If you’re new, thank you for taking the time to listen.

This EP has been a journey to write. I tried to be as open as I could with it and revisited some dark moments in my life. It’s been nothing but a benefit for me to write so openly, it’s been my therapy. There’s something about creating, writing, and pouring your heart out, take after take in a booth for hours. It helps lift heavy weight off your chest and shoulders.

Thank you George for the beautiful album cover, you’ll always be my lil bro and a best friend for life.

Thank you METaL for your professionalism, guidance, hard work, dedication, love and support.

Thank you Genave, for being my rock, best friend, mom, cousin, therapist, sister & Manager. I cannot begin to explain how much I value, respect and cherish you.
