Thoughts of Failure When Alone (G. Di Nunno)

A final call takes a bow
Stuffs complaints inside a box
With false romance ripped in two
Passed on through and left some signs.

Of when this life was going well
Can't think on what must change
All that arriving soon
First: to feel the worst of this
It's setbacks, fever tone
Thoughts of failure when alone.

Feel it all awhile
All this wracking doubt
Then lift-off once more
A strengthened return.

All these ramblings kick a dead horse
Gives an aura bitter blue
No one cares to hear the struggle
Off with dark shades--different view.

Had you listened, maybe offered
Open discourse all would end
Thus the tension, face revealing
Eyes withholding, moods descend.

Those hurdles gone the race is on
Until the next to do the best
With better ways the past decays
A small demand you understand...

Happy Music

Cast of Characters:

Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – foundational acoustic and electric guitars, distorted electric guitar, and the seed idea
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– 5-string banjo solo, electric guitar
Mistermark – @the user-432503709 – Mark – vocals, lyrics, high organ, toy piano, percussion, sound effects, production, editing, mix
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- low organ, piano, synth flute, sound effects
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, percussion 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass
Composition – The Eclectic Collective

This song began its life as a hauntinly exquisite guitar chord progression that Tez came up with and shared with the rest of us. He also stacked a couple of other guitar tracks in there for good measure. Ken was first up, adding his drums, then later his pots and pans percussion. As he was doing that, Josh was coming up with his bass line, and they did their little dance of back and forth until the rhythm section was set. Mark came in around the same time, though, and added his unique, Waitsian vocals with the lyrics that he wrote for it, too. He also added some really amazing organ parts, a toy piano which you can hear right after the bajo solo, and percussion that add a solid foundation for his voice and add magic throughout the song. Stephen followed shortly after with the big stroke guitar chords, and also came up with the amazing banjo solo you hear in there, too. Last, but not least, JJ came in with his organ and electric piano to seal the deal with the melodies and ambience. Then he and Mark added the cool sound effects you hear throughout, too.
  Every great song needs a great producer, and Mark filled the duty on this one. He has proved himself to be a masterful editor, producer, and mixer, and we are lucky to have him as part of the team.
  This one is an homage to Tom Waits in a deliberate way. We're all big fans, and tried to do something in his unique style. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
 
Original lyrics by Mistermark:
I got something hidden in my closet 
that I don’t want you to see 
A little like a shady deposit
And it’s bound to incriminate me

Well now some might call it a skeleton 
Like a raincoat filled with bones
See I been hangin’ it there since I don’t know when
And I just can’t leave it alone

Me and Bill rolling bones in a gambling hall 
I threw snake eyes but Bill counted three
I took his accusation just a little too far 
Then everybody went quiet as they stared at me

Now the finger bone’s connected to the trigger
And the hand bone’s connected to me
And every day my secret’s gettin’ bigger
Soon enough I’ll be swinging from a tree

Coz I got something hidden in my closet 
that I don’t want you to see 
I done made a shady deposit
And it’s bound to incriminate me

Well now some might call it a skeleton 
Like a raincoat filled with bones
See I been hiding it there since I don’t know when
And I just can’t leave it alone
(repeat)

Since I was born
and every moment after
has been spent in a Way-side Quik-EE Mart
turns out I'm a member of a society
way too real in it's sobriety
like a tea-todler with a sweet tooth or a 
fan-boy playing up his youth
yea cause 
our air has been diluted
aim to cut us where we're rooted
got a bounty on a bunny
saying  'follow me'
O 
so I fell down the rabbit hole
and at the same time...I hold the line
cause there's a scandal at the exit
so no one leaves
and I believe we've been deceived
cause there's traffic in the skies
under the gaze of alien eyes
and just a roadside attraction
at the Way-side Quik-EE mart
yea
and I've heard it said that this isht's
all in my head...Imma master of
invention my brain pulling down a pension
clears away the broken promise of my heart
yea
I got a bounty on a bunny
saying  'follow me'

Drain Them, Drain Them Again

An unnecessarily long song with no true chorus (thank/blame R.E.M. haha!) and, for the first time ever in the whole Behold the Sludge catalogue, no kind of rhyme structure whatsoever. Taking cues from everyday life, the title simply comes from me and my wife telling my daughter to stop mumbling so much. 

“Mumble”

If I told you where I’m going 
Would you say you’re on your own 
And if I knew what I was doing 
I swear I’d let you in 
If the thoughts all made some sense 
I’d tie it all together  
To try and explain the madness 
In one package  

But I never could quite fathom 
Just what they all were chasing 
It never seemed within our reach 
kept drifting farther away 
Through solace and dumb comfort 
The safety was a mirage 
It torched our sanctuary 
Exposed it for what it was 

Mumble, mumble away....

Embrace the aftermath 
The end of the saga 
Whatever comes after 
We still won’t understand it 
So much to comprehend 
Ignorance of common sense 
A voice beneath the surface 
You can’t escape the beast (relent)

And sometimes things just happen
We will never understand 
Put our hands on the glass 
And squeeze it til it cracks 
In our nature was a fear 
Magnifies the gaping void 
Dwells on the blunt trauma 
Brings the motion to a stop 

Mumble, mumble away 

If I told you where we’re going 
Would you even see it through 
No sense of understanding 
Just bleed until it’s all dried up 
No purpose in all that tragedy 
Not one single point 
A hatred of the unknown 
Falling into that hole...

Rise up and shine bright, kid 
This ain’t gonna be a grave 
If the sludge was such a friend 
Why’d it leave you behind?
Below the surface is a bruise
It’s defined you too many times 
Never even got the point 
Just gave up even trying 

Mumble your life away 
Mumble, mumble

I've had the very good fortune and honour to associate my own music here on SC with some truly astounding  and generous graphic & surrealist artists: Smiler Street Art (London) https://www.facebook.com/smilerstreetart/, Eric Lacombe (France) http://www.ericlacombe.com/home.php, Belgian surrealists Mothmeister https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/mothmeister. Please do look at their work, you won't be disappointed. Stay here and listen a while first though.
I'm also finding other amazing stuff here on Soundcloud that I would have never heard elsewhere, a few of them I've had the pleasure to collaborate with.: Heidi Harris, Konokunok, Narcisse Noyé, Dolll, Richard Devine, Joaquin Mendoza, Vasco Morais, Keldari Station, Musicaserj, & Cathrinta, Luciole Langevine, Renaud Deback, Lola Demo, Anda Volley, Ang Kerfoot, Dana Dau, Chris Pendergraft, Faerytale and many more. I could go on (and usually do). Check them out, you won't hear their like in many other places. 
Also look out for my playlists here on Soundcloud which feature other artists: 'Favourites From The Cloud', 'Soundscapes'  and 'The Siren, She Sings' (which also has a blog). You may even be in one of them.

Thanks to Isaac for my (full) name. Check out his eerie upload, https://soundcloud.com/aminimalvirus/inconsistent-jukebox. Genius. It crept up on me late one night (one of those tracks that you didn't select but came on in someone else's stream) and I genuinely thought I was going mental. When you hear it you'll see what I mean.
