In this piece, I attempted to paint a picture of the wonderous art and architecture of medieval East Asia. Featuring talented multi-instrumentalist Shere Fraser (Dizi, Xiao, Flute, etc.), this track was a delight to compose and produce.

To be included in my upcoming release, "DVĀRAM."

Mirage

I left a manual many of you know and love
but I guess some of the wording wasn’t clear enough
I said slavery is fine but worship only me
you heard the opposite and do the contrary

Then worry about your soul’s salvation
You think I’m good just cause I outsourced damnation
my sense of humor’s rarely understood–
you covet as you breathe and covet means you’re screwed
(now damn it like you should!)

Don’t hesitate to write or call
I’ll get back to you promptly as in not at all
and if you wax dismayed at my arrogance & privilege
remember: I made you in my image

The tiny horrors you confess
they don’t impress or even hold a candle to mine
(I make up the rules and I always win)
your filicides waffle 
and even your genocides have laughable limits
and here I thought I made you in my image...

My own son came down to contradict me
but we made quick work of him didn’t we now?
I felt proud but remorse is making you slower
should I sink you like Lot, Job and Abraham
or float you one like Noah?

I said it’s fine to rape and kill
so long as you don’t eat eel
though targeting a non-believer tribe’s of course ideal
for I am nothing if not a jealous dude
explains why you’ve never felt especially moral or astute
mmm, doesn’t it? (indeed it does!)

Don’t hesitate to chant & pray
I’ll get back to you soon after your bismuth decays
and if you’re stunned by my executive privilege
remember: I made you in my image

The tiny horrors you commit
don’t bat my lid nor butter my toast 
nor tickle my ghost
They don’t simmer my roast and they don’t peel my kiwi
just about what I’d expect from someone in my image, 
image, my image! (His image)

In my self-same image (yay, verily!)
I take offense every time you think you suck
You gotta wonder why I made you in my image...
Was it just to make a buck?
Was it a mistake that kinda stuck?
Or was it sheer omni-im-potent luck?

Fear, rage, confusion–
all hatchlings of your lineage.
I made you in my image

Or did you make me in your image?

Beyond

The first single, Looking Towards The River, from 8000 Miles’ second album, Crystal Confetti, carries us through highs and lows of searching for fulfillment of a dream.

As you may notice, the cover art harkens back to a familiar cover from 1973 and that is intentional, because Andrea and Rebecca are strongly influenced by music from that time period. Many fans of 8000 Miles’ first album, Aggregate, have remarked on that influence. The title Crystal Confetti represents the clarity 8000 Miles is honing in their duo’s style and the contrast of weighted moods and flying inspirations.

The entire album, Crystal Confetti, has been released on Bandcamp. Go to https://8000miles.bandcamp.com to check it out and follow 8000 Miles on Bandcamp to get first notices of new releases.
