Lyrics:

Yellow and Red (Gold & Red)
By: Russell Nomer July 24, 2025  

Sunrise on a Thursday, Plainview feels too quiet 
Scrollin' through the headlines, trying to deny it 
Takes me back to childhood, a fuzzy TV screen 
A larger-than-life power, a brand new kind of scene 
With a tearin' of the T-shirt and a cupping of the ear 
You showed the world a strength that could conquer any fear 
You were more than just a wrestler, you were a lightning strike 
In yellow and in red, on my rusty ten-speed bike.

And oh, "Whatcha gonna do?" now that you're gone? 
When the prayers and vitamins can't help us carry on? 
You were a real American, a hero to the end 
The world got a little darker today, my brother, my friend. 
Hulkamania's runnin' quiet, a flag is at half-mast 
A legacy in gold and red, that was built to last.

We all tied on our bandanas, we all did the flexing pose 
From Madison Square Garden, to wherever the story goes 
Your theme song lit the rafters, gave our hearts a song 
Your fire taught me courage when the nights felt long.

And oh, "Whatcha gonna do?" now that you're gone? 
When the prayers and vitamins still help us carry on? 
You were a real American, a spark that never bends 
The world lost a true legend today, my brother, my friend. 
Hulkamania's runnin' quiet, a flag is at half-mast 
A legacy in gold and red, that was built to last.

The roar of the arena, it slowly fades away 
The script is put aside now at the closing of the day 
The body pays the cost for the giant that it holds 
And the story of the man is the greatest one that's told 
So Terry takes a final bow, when the curtain has to fall 
Behind the 'stache, you stood up straight and gave us all your all.

And oh, "Whatcha gonna do?" now that you're gone?! 
Our prayers and vitamins WILL help us carry on! 

 'Cause you were a real American, a hero to the end! 
And we'll never ever forget you, my brother, my friend! 
Hulkamania's runnin' forever, it'll never be the past! 
Your legacy in gold and red was BUILT TO LAST!

"Whatcha gonna do, brother..."

Anomaly, after being remastered by Welcome to 1979 studios in Nashville.  This was done using their Analog Anywhere service where your masters are recorded through their restored MCI tape machines and consoles.  It adds a huge vibe to digital tracks, plus their mastering team is just simply the best.  I highly recommend it for anyone self-producing tracks.

Folk suset song/ Riding on the highway to Malibu and chelaxing. The surf is good.

Malibu Skies

I've heard it said you can never go back
I've heard it said you can never go back
There are so many things I wish I'd never done
Leaving you isn't one

When my life flashes before my eyes
I hope I don't forget to forget about you
When my life flashes before my eyes
I hope I don't forget to forget about you

I Hope I Don't Forget To Forget About You

"World Gone Mad" rages with the unmistakable force of UK indie, led by heavy guitar riffs and urgent emotion. The track channels the anxiety and bewilderment of living through a world spinning into chaos, questioning if we’re heading for disaster once more. Honest and raw, it captures both the frustration and the rallying spirit to face uncertainty head-on.
