definitely has the first person shooter vibe! I was more into Doom than DN, but still a similar vibe - dark and dramatic - sounds great!

Used to play DN3 along with other 1st person shooters like Doom & Quake with my older brother. Nostalgia. Great work Brian!!

Suspense under water in the deep sea. Who knows what lurks beneath the waves....

Here is a link to the youtube video for the song! https://youtu.be/sXd5B2iSWck
I looked back at the few notes I collected during this Photo Op's song development time-frame and concluded I did not have much to go on after a two year lapse.  The lyrics were not fully documented in my notebook. I must have been using lyric ideas and ad-libbing them into the song. I do not know my state of mind and wish I was better at capturing this closer to the song's conception point.

Life was still fairly locked down due to Covid, Trump was still in-office and the George Floyd protests were ongoing. The song was created without any direct outside musical influence driving the creative direction. This was me inside my studio starting from ground zero and evolving the song over the course of probably several weekends by playing around with sounds, rhythms and textures until a fuzzy shape of cohesion slowly emerged.

Listening back, I suspect, I smashed together two fairly divergent musical ideas. Bold move Dave and perhaps disastrous from a song gluing perspective. I like it anyway. Lyrics were influenced by what was going on around me and one of those things was a narcissist clutching a bible and clearing a peaceful protest with tear gas to enable his next photo op in front of the church.  A holy moment indeed. 

Lyrics
Photo Op
by David Husted

Dew drop dreams
Silly games
Buy some more stuff
Throw it away
Is it me?
Where did I go?
When we turn our backs
let them take it away.

They say it's gonna rain again
I don’t have an umbrella
They say its time to hate again
Photo ops and killing

Is it really so improbable?
State news and oligarchs selling fools
Make lies a game, and fear predominant 
Shake the base of our democracy

Funny Kind of Sad

I recorded first guitar about one year ago and now I decided to add second one. This is rather my own interpretation than cover but maybe someone like it.

Greetings!

Epitaph, King Crimson, sort of instrumental cover

Francisco was kind enough to let me use a few of his drum tracks... here's one of the results. what's been referred to as psychedelic soca.

the shuffle / with Francisco Hazel on drums

This track was created as a self reminder whatever we feel in any circumstance is okay for us and honoring that intuitiveness is what matters most to each of us. People can see, think, say, portray anything in this 3D "values" world in which we live. We can BEcome caught up in the simulation, the societal entrainment "game rules," or we can go deeply within to reconnect and listen to the light and dark, the united mind, heart, body, and soul... Oneness of the Self when it comes to the who, what, when, and where we feel safe enough to BE or continue to BE ourselves. Anyone can outwardly say "you are safe." But, it's how we feel that matters. It's whether we are given sacred safe space; but perhaps more so, whether someone is able to equitably BE as vulnerable with us as we are with them that creates the feeling of safety. Some will say that fear is a human mindset construct that should be eliminated. Okay, if that is true, then the supposition of fear being the opposite of love and everything we think, say, and do comes from a place of either love or fear. Therefore, if one is a man made construct, that would mean the other is... as well. This would make fear, love, and hate... and the man made concepts of "to have" "to want" and "to need" simply other "four-letter-words," as cursory as others, considering how the words are all so maligned by society and "limited release-of-information" religions (especially Christianity which "conveniently" let out over 100 tablets/books from the BELoved Bibles because they "didn't suit" man's wish or agenda to control and "have dominion over all 'less than' peoples.") Subsequently, all other "feelings" would be man made constructs from made up letters, randomly arranged in man made words that we could also eliminate and consequently move into a more scientific based claim "We are all energy, everything we see is simply energy. Energy never dies, it simply changes form." Okay, so why then has NO ONE proposed that ALL feelings are man made, fear mongering constructs... used as divisive tactics? PLEASE, think about it before you simply run your entrainment tapes... IF we ELIMINATED the words in our vocabulary so as to have never named "emotions" which have been used to divide us into judging EVERYTHING about ourselves AND one another which creates more fear, and this perceived sense of lack in our daily lives... what would exist? Not fear, not love, not hate, not lack, not hope, not despair, not loneliness, not any one of the emotions, man made judgmental and divisive constructs... all THE THINGS that create the discord we are SEEING, witnessing in the world today. I know, it's a mind blowing, mind freeing concept that we've never heard proposed by anyone, except perhaps those leading a more meditative, monk, shamanism kind of lifestyle. Since we'd been drawn to those lifestyles since our earliest, formative years... long before we should have even known what they were... perhaps simply another reason we've always felt like we didn't belong in this 3D construct. Simply another way to see things from a higher perspective... or judge me to BE insane, right? BElieve whatever you want, and we'll BElieve as we are shown and led to, as well. We'll BE spending more time with those we FEEL safe and comfortable energetically... those with whom we've felt a more equitably shared reciprocity of vulnerability. We invite you to begin a similar practice for yourselves and your own/shared highest vibrational energy and living. BE well.

BElieve

"Hoje não saiu o Sol nem tem flor no jardim;
E a voz dentro de mim já começa a gritar;
Sinto algo no Vento antes da Chuva chegar;
Balança o que mora em mim;
Deixa revolto o meu Mar;
Isso é muito sofrido, o beijo agora é um perigo, sem abraços, sem se ver;
O tempo virou um castigo;
É o sinal que é preciso de novo aprender
a amar e a viver... a amar e a viver;
Estou precisando da praia;
Dar um mergulho no Mar;
Ficar deitado na areia;
Virar gaivota e voar"

Música inspirada e gravada  no isolamento social da pandemia do coronavírus (jul/20). As linhas de violão e voz eu fiz pelo celular, a linha do baixo o Cristovam Ruiz Jr mandou de Birigui (gravou no Estúdio Terra) e as linhas da guita o Giovanni Pilosio também mandou de casa. Nosso Alquimista Alexandre Morales (o Bucha, do Estúdio Jaburu aqui em São Paulo), acendeu o fogo do seu caldeirão e fez essa produção "divina" (também o backing vocal e colocou a percussão). Gratidão Monstro aos meus Brothers por mais um puta mergulho musical.
