Welcome to #6 in the music series "Of Fire and Ice" - Music of Norse Mythology. What did the Gods hear during their adventures? Listen to the distinct sounds of pagan frame drums and soaring targelharpa ‘fiddles’, flutes and the harp-like lyre. All this blends with orchestral instrumentation, sounds of nature and the soaring sounds of trumpet of James Hill's trumpet.

In the Norse myth "Binding of Fenrir," the gods grow fearful of the wolf Fenrir, a monstrous son of Loki. To prevent him from causing destruction, they trick Fenrir into being bound by an unbreakable magical chain called Gleipnir. Fenrir, suspicious, agrees to be bound only if one god places a hand in his mouth as a pledge. Tyr bravely volunteers, and when Fenrir cannot break free, he bites off Tyr’s hand. Fenrir remains bound until Ragnarok, when he will break free and play a key role in the world's end.

This music is adapted from a soundtrack I did for OttawaStoryTellers.ca   Many thanks to them for the inspiration.

'Binding Of Fenrir' - Music of Norse Mythology

Hank Rusch goes for the throat with this stripped down raucous rocker about a fugitive from injustice called The Innocent.  Hank creates a raw precision with his spare but loud use of only drums, bass, guitar. Sweet but grinding like frosting on a cake with a file inside Hank give us just desserts with his slide guitar work. Hank's voice brings an authentic dimension to the song as he recounts the first person story of a man wrongly convicted, escaped, on the run.  Hank's screaming falsetto in tandem with his high slide guitar ends the song like a war cry... as if to say, Today is a good day to die, but I will fight for one more.

The Innocent
I went down to the River
I saw somethin' no one ever should see
The law did somethin' bad
They pinned it all on me

On my way to Leavenworth
the train it left the tracks
Everybody broke their backs
But I walked out without a scratch

So they put me in Joliet
on a back to back 30 stretch
But me and a road dog found a way
to put a hole in the fence

We ran and ran in our prison stripes
til' we found a old garage
We put on mechanics uniforms
and hot wired the owner's Dodge

We put some miles between Joliet
We drove without the lights
I wished the darkness would never end
It started gettin' light

They caught my partner and they made the Dodge
he went down in a blaze of bullets
I watched it all from the café
as I stuffed my hungry gullet

I slipped out of town on a mail truck
your letters might be a little late
'cause they shot it full of lead
I crawled into a sewer grate

I met a woman in St. Paul
She liked me and she took me in
She believed I was innocent
as long as I gave her good lovin'

But I saw her sittin' in a G man's car
I could tell from the government plates
They had the goods on her for somethin' else
She gave me up and turned states

I've been runnin' for five year now
I've used every alias
What I saw the law do that night
they'd hang if I was to witness

Listen to my story
I got to tell it before I'm gone
I swear to you I'm the innocent
There's more where I came from

I'm The Innocent, I'm The Innocent
Lord have mercy on my soul
I'm The Innocent, I'm The innocent
Don't try to give me your back door parole
I'm The Innocent, I'm The Innocent,
If I stop runnin' I'll never get old
I'm The Innocent, I'm The Innocent
Lord have mercy on my soul

The Innocent

Lately, due to my age, I feel a decline in my abilities in all aspects of my life. Times change, and the good times pass in a flash. So I think it is wonderful that people live their lives appreciating the small things in everyday life.

The Vanishing World

Even if unexpected events knock you off track for a while, get back up – you’ll come out stronger than ever.

Cain's Cane

Don't write a sin about me
Abel gave you but a Lamb, while I gave you him
Oh, God Don't write a sin about me 
I swung the stone, yet lose my life all the same?
My own son renounced me
How do I tell if I can be redeemed?
When there's no one around who'll speak to me?
As I roam these crooked hills of your once perfect creation


This mark is killing me
This mark is sending me
Further into Satan's embrace
Father!
This weight is killing me
Silence so deafening 
Walking up this hill
My cane breaks in 
Two!


How can I redeem?
How can I be clean?
Rebrand myself elsewhere I shall,
I see...

[Solo]

Don't write a sin about me
Abel gave you but a Lamb, while I gave you him
Oh, God Don't write a sin about me 
I swung the stone, yet lose my life all the same?
My own son renounced me
How do I tell if I can be redeemed?
When there's no one around who'll speak to me?
As I roam these crooked hills of your once perfect creation

Cain's Cane

"Alone" is a synth-laced elegy for love gone cold, a slow-burning exploration of memory, betrayal, and emotional aftermath. With shimmering pads, ambient textures, and a steady, melancholic pulse, the track drifts through a dreamscape of faded touches and haunted reflections.

The lyrics trace the ghost of a once-intimate connection—now reduced to echoes, silhouettes, and names without faces. A love that once burned now flickers out in silence, leaving only a hollow frame calling out into the night. "Alone" captures the feeling of standing still while everything you trusted slips away.

For listeners drawn to the intersection of vulnerability and atmosphere—where synthpop meets poetic decay.

Lyrics

[Verse]
You whispered words I couldn't keep
They haunt my mind when I'm asleep
A fading touch
A ghostly hue
The love we had now feels untrue

[Chorus]
In the shadows we collide
A love that burned but could not hide
Fingers reaching through the flame
But all that's left is just your name

[Verse 2]
The echoes linger
Sharp and cold
A story lost
A tale untold
We built a world of fleeting skies
Now it crumbles with your lies

[Bridge]
Your silhouette still stains my heart
A masterpiece that's torn apart
The darkness wraps me
Pulls me in
Where love and loss both seem to spin

[Chorus]
In the shadows we collide
A love that burned but could not hide
Fingers reaching through the flame
But all that's left is just your name

[Verse 3]
The night holds secrets
Soft and gray
It steals the warmth
It steals the day
Yet here I stand
A hollow frame
Calling out to what remains

Alone

Hey SoundCloud peeps!🤗 Here’s another chiptune for you! Blame Mary for the title, and her obsession with cute, fluffy creatures! And don’t mind if the poor alien or creature from another dimension (whatever it is... it could’ve come straight out of one of our guitarist’s fever dreams) plugged the jack into the strap hook instead of the output of its guitar with 5 tuning keys and 6 strings! A cute little pink creature like that gets a free pass, right? We hope you’ll also forgive us for creating all of this.😅
See you in a few days with a real song. Catch you in the comments!🫶
