well sung - sparse instrumentation. Has an early Elton John vibe.

Clean Kill

Experimental cover of TV on the Radio's 2003 song "Young Liars" by 3/4 of the band formerly known as "halcyon days" (Joel Flynn, Ryan Pollock, Matt Wilson). Recorded and produced by Ryan Pollock using Apple Logic in July/August 2011 in Campbell River, BC. This version of the song emerged from an unintended vocal and acoustic guitar track by Joel Flynn while testing out Pollock's microphone and home studio set up. Some harmonies were then added as an experiment, then the track grew and grew to include additional guitar and production work by Pollock, as well as bass by Matt Wilson while he was back in Campbell River as well. 

The song choice by Flynn was simply a result of his having missed the TV on the Radio show at the Commodore in Vanc week. It's a favorite band, one that had been <a href="http://snd.sc/zzxkz4">covered with a different song previously</a>, so seeing the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp1luyUOXUA">live "Letterman" version of the song on YouTube</a> see video link) was pouting about having missed the show. What resulted was a bit of an accidental production on a return visit to "the Riv".

*no trucks were harmed in the making of this sonouver earlier in theg.

Young Liars (orig. TV on the Radio)

CICLO DA BORRACHA — Rio Negro

Zwischen Schatten und Morgenland RADIO Version

A powerful blend of raw emotion and haunting melodies, Hushed captures the internal struggle of finding peace within chaos. Deep, atmospheric layers of sound ebb and flow like a distant storm, guiding you through a journey of solitude and reflection. With its bold, heavy beats and subtle intricacies, Hushed speaks to the heart of those searching for strength in silence.

Listen, feel, and let the quiet moments speak louder.

Hushed

LYRICS:

Naturally the Dying Man wonders to himself
Had his commentary been more lucid than anybody else?
And had he successfully beaten back the rising tide
Of idiots, dilettantes and fools
That were on his watch 
While he was alive
Lord, just a little more time

Oh, in no time at all this will be the distant past

So says the Dying Man once I’m in the box
Just think of all the overrated hacks running amok
And all of the pretentious, ignorant voices that will go unchecked
The homophobes, hipsters and one percent
The false feminists he’d managed to detect
Who will critique them once he’s left?

In no time at all this will be the distant past

What he’d give for one more day to rate and analyze
The world made in his image as of yet to realize
What a mess to leave behind 

Eventually the Dying Man takes his final breath
But first checks his newsfeed to see what he’s about to miss
It occurs to him a little late in the game
We leave as clueless as we came
From the rented heavens to the shadows in the cave
We’ll all be wrong one day

We’ll all be wrong someday

Lyrics:
Bedding Taylor Swift
Every night inside the Oculus Rift
After mister and the missus finish dinner and the dishes
And now the future's definition is so much higher than it was last year
It's like the images have all become real
And someone's living my life for me out in the mirror

No, can you believe how far we've come
In the New Age?
Freedom to have what you want
In the New Age we'll all be entertained
Rich or poor, the channels are all the same
You're a star now, baby, so dry your tears
You're just like them
Wake on up from the nightmare

Come on
Oh ho oh
Oh
Oh ho oh

No gods to rule us
No drugs to soothe us
No myths to prove stuff
No love to confuse us

Not bad for a race of demented monkeys
From a cave to a city to a permanent party

Come on
Oh ho oh
Oh
Oh ho oh

When the historians find us we'll be in our homes
Plugged into our hubs
Skin and bones
A frozen smile on every face
As the stories replay
This must have been a wonderful place

Total Entertainment Forever

LYRICS:
It got too hot and so we overthrew the system
'Cause there's no place for human existence like right here
On this bright blue marble orbited by trash
Man, there's no beating that
It was no big thing to give up the way of life we had

Oh ho oh

My social life is now quite a bit less hectic
The nightlife and the protests are pretty scarce
Now I mostly spend the long days walking through the city
Empty as a tomb
Sometimes I miss the top of the food chain
But what a perfect afternoon

Industry and commerce toppled to their knees
The gears of progress halted
The underclass set free
The super-ego shatters with our ideologies
The obscene injunction to enjoy life
Disappears as in a dream
And as we return to out native state
To our primal scene
The temperature, it started dropping
The ice floes began to freeze

From time to time we all get a bit restless
With no one advertising to us constantly
But the tribe at the former airport
Some nights has meat and dancing
If you don't mind gathering and hunting
We're all still pretty good at eating on the run
Things it would have been helpful to know before the revolution

Though I'll admit some degree of resentment
For the sudden lack of convenience around here
But there are some visionaries among us developing some products
To aid us in our struggle to survive

On this godless rock that refuses to die

Things It Would Have Been Helpful to Know Before the Revolution

LYRICS:
Take off, little winged creature
It's nothing but teens in ravines
And antics on concrete down here
And are you really as free as all the great songs would have me believe?
Let me tell you why some day, Birdie, you're gonna envy me

Some dream of a world written in lines of code
Well, I hope they engineer out politics, romance, and edifice
Two outta three ain't bad

Some envision a state governed by laws of business
Merger and acquisition instead of violence or nations
Where do I sign up?

Take off, little winged creature
It's nothing but falling debris, strollers, and babies down here
And you may be up in the sky but our paradigms are just as deep and just as wide
What with all our best attempts at transcendence
Something's bound to take

Soon, we'll live in a global culture devoid of gender or race
There's just one tiny line:
You're either born behind
Or you're free to peek inside

Life as just narrative, metadata in aggregate
Where the enigma of humanity's wrapped up finally
That as they say is that

Oh, that day can't come soon enough
It'll be so glorious
When they finally find out what's bugging us

Birdie
