Kate Stanton and I were discussing music and happened to connect over that weird vibe of being in betwixt and between. After she shared her video from a local dead mall in her town that is being demolished soon, she sent me a rough piano / synth and vocal draft. I added some synthesizers and beats to enhance the dark and haunting vibe. Welcome to the "Liminal Spaces", do you want to hang out with us in the ether?

==== LYRICS ====

You’re my star 
In the sky 
My constant light
Oh, you shine so bright 
All the time

On the darkest night 
I see you the most 
And I feel connected
Carbon-made, gravity stays
Holding be back 
In these liminal spaces

Glowing from the inside out 
Luminous grace and hope 
Am I alive? 
Cause even a ghost girl has fears

You’re my beacon of hope
Message I heard as a girl
Constant. Steady. Strong.

On the darkest night
I see you the most 
And I feel connected
Carbon-made, gravity stays
Holding me down 
In these liminal spaces

This year nearly broke me 
Roaming the halls
Every character flaw on display
Every weakness, every break
What do I do now with these bones?

On the darkest night I see you the most 
And I feel connected
Carbon-made, gravity stay
Holding me back
In these liminal spaces

Glowing from the inside out
A luminous grace and hope.
I am alive
Even a ghost girl has fears.

Liminal Spaces

Oooooohhhhhhh can’t you see
This can never be
I belong to me
(and) I won’t go quietly
Into your 
Moulded for your
Boxed inside your
Category

Spoken word part:

Do we really need to allocate everything to neat little groups?
Including ourselves?
What is it about our uniqueness that scares you?
The upside-down fork in the cutlery drawer
That discordant note
The outlier on the graph spoiling the clean line
We are all outliers on different graphs

Bad Things

NIHILIST

I DON'T EXIST

THE END OF THE WORLD

My Cuzzo-inlaw Ken redeemed my wedding gift card that my wife and I gave out. (1 custom song of your choosing) He requested an anime theme - so I made one from his perspective meeting my Cuzzo Cam. As if he was lost until he found her. Enjoy!

Lyrics: 
Intro - So far away from home!

Verse 1: 
I’m staring at this skyline
Painted in neon blue,
Thinking ‘bout the moments
That led me back to you.
These city lights are shining,
But they don’t light the dark
I’m just a lonely traveler
With a Hollow heart

Chorus:
Stillness of the night
Sing in silence
Stillness of the night
Along this winding flight
The streets are moving faster
Like the time I forgot my name
I miss you just the same

Bridge:
These city lights are shining,
But they don’t light the dark
I’m just a lonely traveler
With a Hollow heart

Chorus

Outro:
Be Mine
You are one of a kind
My life
I miss you every night

All singing & production by me

Driven by the depths of the human condition, experiences creatively intertwined with years of meticulous planning and preparation, the artistic integrity of Bad Bubble is second to none.
Beginning in 2022, the Bad Bubble repertoire of multiple albums, EPs and singles would emerge piece by piece, slowly presenting a boldly original journey in both substance and style.
Captivating audiences far and wide with his genre-blending fusion of electronica, synthpop and new wave, the prolific sound of Bad Bubble intertwines eighties nostalgia with cosmic ambient escapism; the ethereal tones, the sheer passionate intensity and juxtaposed lyrical vulnerability of his vocals intertwining across a rich tapestry of stories.
With complex lyrical meanderings and long-form melodies backed by four, five and even six-part harmonies, Bad Bubble’s creative conviction is undeniable. His immense project now compiles hundreds of original songs; a meteoric rise that has inspired a generation of rising indie musicians.
A producer by trade by also unorthodox in being primarily a multi-instrumentalist, Bad Bubble goes against the grain in more ways than one. Not a user of software, but a musician and songwriter – devoted to the authenticity of writing and performing from the soul.
Relentlessly committed to the cause, inspired by the need to remember, and pay tribute to someone who mattered more than the world itself, Bad Bubble is a creative force to be reckoned with. His refusal to take ‘no’ for an answer has meant that even without support or resources, without mentorship or guidance, he has built up an unrivalled name. The creative process was the learning curve, and with each new release, some new chapter of his powerful story revealed itself.
Not leaving anything to chance, Bad Bubble is an embodiment of an idea and image that stands tall in the face of life’s most devastating challenges. Renowned for his smooth production skills and fearlessly confronting lyrics, Bad Bubble is a self-contained entrepreneur of the musical realm. While the majority of his extensive collection of work was written between 2021 and 2023, the experiences that inspired it, and the sincere and unwavering attention to detail utilised, is all years in the making. Everything from the image to the name, the font chosen, the colour coding and the instrumentation breathes clear identity and originality into the modern music scene.
His name is thoughtfully youthful, while the font is purposefully regal and executive. His use of squares reinforces the stability and father-like dependability of his existence. Purple is the colour of his past – darker than most, but not black; not unsalvageable. Heartache and loneliness have been unforgiving weights on the shoulders of an artist with an inherent need to connect and to celebrate love. There is life left here still, colours waiting to brighten the space – rhythm and beauty eager to embrace a world lost in its own uncertainty.
His legacy is his gift to Her, a venture into which Bad Bubble has poured his life savings and his every waking moment. The results are extraordinary, and speak volumes on behalf of the feeling, focus and ferocity of a man with music and a mission in his heart.
