splat - off the windscreen

My album, well-aged and re-launched.  Originally imagined (and half-released) as "Splatterhead Jones - Off The Windscreen," this is the mastered version. Mastered by Sage Audio. Three tracks originally included are held back in this version.

 Wishlist

A song about people as possessions. Ownership. Control. It is about hostage-taking, violence, fear and intimidation. It is also about learned helplessness. Sometimes you hear people say "you better not try." You never hear the part hat goes "better I not try." Better, not try.

better not try

ya better not try
to hide your heart
you treat me right
oh if you're smart
don't you try
start acting sly
promise you
cross my heart
hear my words
on my life
hope to die
hope to die

you better not try
run away
cause i'm a spy eye
i know where you stay
your hungry heart
is a burning flame
jealous heart
we'll survive
just as long
aswe both are alive

you belong to me



off the windscreen

better not try

better not buy

06 Better Not Try - Splat - Off The Windscreen

dark and light
left and right
best and worst
a blessing and a curse

Alternating point of view. First from the pov of someone with bipolar personality disorder, then from the partner of said person. Yes, they are a real people and yes, I do know both personally. The song was published with consent.

your disaster

it's times like these that i can come undone
i think i've lost my faith in everyone
i don't wanna ever say "it's over"
and i'll be with you all the way

but i don't wanna sit around and wait for your disaster
in the end a final win was all you were after
i don't wanna make believe in some ever after
i just wanna try and hold on to the laughter

it tears you up the way that i run around
it tears you up when you see that i can't slow down
and when i crash will it be another
another bad one to clean up

i don't wanna sit around and wait for your disaster
in the end a final win was all you were after
i don't wanna make believe in some ever after
i just wanna try and hold on to the laughter

your disaster

Buy your disaster

sometimes

sometimes i go elsewhere
i know i feel
time has slipped away

when i can't sleep
shadows cast deep alone
no one hears you cry

tell me that hear me won't you
show me that there is a hand to hold
out here
oh, show me that you know me won't you
give some kind of sign
to show the way
from here

still i'm so glad for you

sometimes i go elsewhere
i know it's real
and i'm not afraid to fly
when i can't see beauty
down deep i fear
that none of this is real

tell me that hear me won't you
show me that there is a hand to hold
out here
oh, show me that you know me won't you
give some kind of sign
to show the way
from here

still i'm so glad for you

sometimes i go elsewhere
i know i feel
time has slipped away

This song was a gift from my dead friend Jeff. I was playing one of his songs and it just bloomed out of that goddamn Eb chord. I dunno. Weird. Anyway, it's one of the few songs on otw that is even worth listening to. Buy the album anyway, even if only for the super-douchy usb. You can always just listen for free.

timestar

farther falling ever faster
glowing time gravity master
time ticks slow the starry snow
in cold expression bold alone

blue green burning spinning churning
pouring gasses brilliant turning
dark envelope deadly spinning
dust igniting atoms whirling

intersection energy
bursting rays empty yearning

molten frozen function grinding
time stop solid mass evolving
pandimension motion stopping
gliding gassing bursting popping

knowing being outward breaching
being knowing stretching reaching
time collecting space exploding
molten motion seconds glowing

cosmic god imperfect mind
power infinite in time

This is nonsense. True to form, these lyrics are complete nonsense. Random nonsense, alternating negative tone, positive tone, then negative again and so on. It started out as a "practice project" that I used to learn recording, mixing, mastering. But, I got a little attached to it, probably because of the ebow parts. I dunno. I kinda hate it now.

maybe

baby when i think that i've known that i've seen
i must have been alone for so long so for me
and don't it feel so bad when i see how it goes
it goes like melting snow, like a rose, to the sea

oooo yeah x 4

i may be tired i may be small i may be scared
i may be bigger i may be tall i may be fear
it may be that i don't know why i bring you here with me
it may be that i never knew to set you free

oooo yeah x 4

you don't begin you don't belong you don't deserve
the naked lie the separate the spoken word
the longing for release in the quiet kill the nerve
the price you pay will never be what you deserve

oooo yeah x 4
(guitar)
oooo yeah x 4

02 Maybe - Splat - Off The Windscreen

This song is about political predation I started to see, beginning in the US, around 2000. It got far worse, in my estimation, around 2010. It's a song I had bouncing around in my cluttered mind for years, but never actually sat down and flushed out until 2010. Or so? I dunno. The final lines "don't place blind faith in black snake politicians" is an overt reference to fossil fuel corporations, their corrupt relationships with politicians in the US and abroad, and corporate capture of the US government. I got the idea from the indigenous legend "Prophesy of the black snake." Pipelines and oil trains, the visible signs as literal power is amassed and America literally divided. Americans, literally divided. Political power isn't as easy to see, but t's just as destructive. More so.

at any cost

they will prey upon your sympathy
they will tear our bands apart
and they will break your back, your will, your brain
so they can take whatever they can gain

they'll see you dead to keep in power
you're just opposition to devour
why are you loyal to the cowards?
sweet liberty turned bitter, sour

is that the cost? (x3)
is that too high?
too high now

it doesn't matter much what happened here today
cause if it don't make the cover page...
they want you to forget the things they did and said
so they can do it all again another day

when blood is spilled for their desire
and they have all that they require
they'll tell you "freedom's cost" is higher
take honest words back from the liars

is that the cost? (x3)
is that too high?
too high now

don't place blind faith in black snake politicians
they'll make you so afraid, can't even pay, pay attention

I'll follow you back when I can.

Musics, dooms, whatvers. =j

"I'm plays all the instruments and screams."

Your basic, dopy guitarist, I've been playing all my life. Released 1st album, recorded in 2010, half-ass released and haphazardly introduced on fazebuuk and twigger in 2013.  It was a disaster.  Another.  See link for archived bannedcamp squat "splat - off the windscreen" below.  Eco-friendly "bamboo" 15gb USB also available at bandcamp.  I know.  "Laaame."  Again, link below.  I plays all instruments, sings, do my own recordings and productions, but I use outside helps with masterings.  I thinks I likes Sage Audio.  Anyway...


Playing live regularly isn't really feasible for me at this point in time, but I still love making musics. Leveraging pt8 & w^vista installed on a rusty boat anchor, Tapatíos, pet hairs, superglues and duct tapes, I'm working on a 2nd album. But, I need fund for copyrights, publishings and "all that jazz."  So buy somethings if you can.  Limited quantity. Rare. Unique.  Maybe a "splat - off the windscreen"  15gb bamboo (66% less ecocides) USB with album art.  Great for sampls, other musics, pictures or works... just don't use it for espionages.  ;)  (coming soon to a Bannedcamps near EU) Or just slip me a tips through paypals. 

My album is also available for download (I think) at CD Baby (seedy-baby to me) but, honestly, I have trouble with CD Baby and Bandcamp due to the multiple sign-ins and various accounts required.  I just get fed up and say "aw forget it." But the people at CD Baby are super nice and try really hard to help. I tell them "no, it's me. really."  I'm hopeless. =D


I appreciate you listening and checking out my soundsclouds. Very much. Thank you!!


Laugh, even if through the tears.


Collaborations warmly welcome.


I am a goof. =j

I love to hear from people  =j
