tried to focus on just purely rhyming and wordplay for this one, but the topics of my life still manage to influence my content, even when im just trying to be simple as 'the cat sat on the mat'

bit more lighthearted, with snatches or verses taken from stuff written at different times

would like to stuff around with the vocals a bit more...too reverby just now...

enjoy :)

Strangely Numb

Actually wrote this in one sitting, at Earth Frequency 2014, after a conversation I had, with someone I had admired and thought of as a teacher, who gave me great advice on how to exist and live and understand more, and then completely went against all their own wisdom 
to blow up when their point was lost.

Social and emotional manipulators are so good because they manipulate themselves as well as they manipulate others, thereby being able to 'trick' themselves into actually believing something fictional, and then use that energy of 'committed belief' to add weight and meaning to almost anything they wish.

Meanwhile, the majority of people don't even notice this is happening, of those that do, only a handful will acknowledge it, whether to themselves or others, and even less will actually do something about it. This is a real shame because it just gives ppl who are out to use this kind of stuff for their own gain, or for someone elses pain, more social faux pa's to camoflage their behaviour behind.

Next time someone talks bullshit to you, that is obvious bullshit, instead of nodding your head, smiling and thinking 'what a wanker', try asking them a question that requires them to think betond their rehearsed scripts and actually back up their point.

What you will usually get is the slightly awkward moment where this person reailzes they've been caught out, called out, and now the moment of truth...

These people will either entrench themselves further into their existing beliefs, and start fighting harder, or begin trying to distract you with 'quirky' or 'amusing' and 'funny' behaviiour... or more rarely, they will use the opportunity to learn something about themselves and why they might be acting like this, or at least be open to exploring the idea they know nothing about what they are bullshitting about.

The actions taken in this moment of choice are how I decide whether your worth my time or not. 


the vocals arent perfect, there's a glitch or 2, and the mastering is rudimentary at best lol
enjoy :)

Plastic Pleasures

struggle to keep my musical productions structured in a traditional sense. basically this was experimenting with an ableton produced arrangement, her vocals and my vocals. 

harmonica and the jew harp at the end were recorded by me.

i have been fucking round in abletone for about a year now, very inconsistently, but its an amazing program with unlimited potential!

I am everything, and...I am nothing. 
































































































































































I am dark, and I am light
I am complex, and I am simple
I am grateful, and I am spiteful
I am rational, and I am spiritual

i am both rich as well as poor
i am exceptional, and I am average
i enjoy creation, and i enjoy destruction
I am free, yet I am contained

I am both my closest friend and my worst enemy
i am extroverted and introverted
I am pure, and I am perverted
I am kind, and I am hurtful

im a bunch of other things as well, super exciting, super cool, super boring, and nerdy as well...

I love drugs. 

I mean, where would we be without all the pharmaceutical drugs we call medicine? Surely a less evolved society as a whole I'm sure. I think we should be very thankful for, and very careful with drugs and other chemicals. 

It'd suck if we all learned to get along and communicate one day, but then poisonous chemicals killed the very planet we live on...hmmm...who would we blame?

I have undying hope, and I am cynical
I am part of the problem, and part of the solution
I CARE DEEPLY, AND I DONT GIVE A FUCK
I ACCIDENTALLY PRESSED CAPS LOCK
BUT I LIKED IT...

I'm a little bit WASTED...XX...CO..*^*^  &  25%
