Ok, Jimmy Buffet vibe. Kinda even sound like him, similar phrasing.

Time - Rehearsal Sample

Something I wrote and recorded in the aftermath of the pandemic. Anger, humor, confusion, more humor.  I'm playing all guitars, bass, and drum programming.

AFTERMATH

[rough vocals unlocked]

Crashing through the April rain
Release
Constrain

Indifferent Preoccupied
nothing 
implied

And I’m starting to wish 
that I’d never begun
and I’m fighting like hell
and I’m biting my tongue 

and the moon and the stars 
and the earth and the sun 
are all laughing

I hope it hurts you forever
and leaves you all in disarray
I hope it hurts you forever
haunted by the people you betray

Let’s have another spin around
Aloof
Unfound

At the mercy of The Wheel
dissolve
congeal

And I’m starting to think 
that hope is a liar
and I’m fighting like hell
and I’m cursing desire

and the moon and the stars 
and the earth are on fire
and you’re laughing

I hope it hurts you forever
and leaves you all in disarray
I hope it hurts you forever
haunted by the people you betray

KAINT LIV 420

Recorded live in the rehearsal studio of the band "Inner Drive" in the early 70's.

Inner Drive

"Take The Black" is an epic cinematic symphonic folk metal song that has been inspired from fantasy role play games and medieval music. The pyromancer is back and brought his shady friends. Let's assemble, take the black and bring down a bloodthirsty tyrant! 
After writing "Pyromancer" in 2021, we wanted to create some epic battle music. Everything started with an arpeggio on my acoustic guitar, when I suddenly had the idea to try something with bagpipes. Jordan's comment about medieval villagers wielding forks and shields against a tyrant has been a great lyrical prompt, so we continued on that. The arrangement grew bigger, and bigger, and soon we had to summon the whole band.

==== LYRICS ====

High above the castle walls
Lives a tyrant drenched in blood
Drop by drop, we share our strength
Til this trickle is a flood

Cut by cut he bleeds us
Til we are drained and dry
But tonight I'll lead us
Our swords and knives held high

Gathering our strength now
Together we are one
In the black we'll do our work
Until the deed is done

Fighting back for what is ours
Fighting for our lives
In the black we'll find it
In the black we'll thrive

The blackness is where strength takes hold
It's time to save our souls

We are the children of the night
Sellswords, reapers and dark knights
Let us steal the night away
And stay hidden for the day

We are the children of the night
Sellswords, reapers and dark knights
Let's assemble and attack
Take the black, I'll take the black!

(Take the black)
(Take the black)
(Take the, take the black)
(I'll take the black!)

We'll take the hills
We'll take the land 
We'll take his life with our bare hands
We'll take the night
We'll take the day
We'll take the black, take it away

We've given all that we can give
We cannot let this evil live
So we will take a life tonight
We'll take the black, we'll take what's right!

The blackness is where truth unfolds
It is time to save our souls

We are the children of the night
Sellswords, reapers and dark knights
Let us steal the night away
And stay hidden for the day

We are the children of the night
Sellswords, reapers and dark knights
Let's assemble and attack
Take the black, I'll take the black!

(Take the black)
(Take the black)
(Take the, take the black)
(I'll take the black!)

We are brothers in arms
raise swords, prepare spells and charms
Let truth and virtues reign
Our fight won't be in vain
Prepare! Behead the king!

The blackness comes to take our toll
We've sacrificed our souls

We are the children of the night
Sellswords, reapers and dark knights
Let us steal the night away
And stay hidden for the day

We are the children of the night
Sellswords, reapers and dark knights
Let's assemble and attack
Take the black, I'll take the black!

(Take the black)
(Take the black)
(Take the, take the black)
(I'll take the black!)
