Gary, of Mountain Songs (https://soundcloud.com/mountain-songs)
contacted me about 2 years ago and offered me a baseline stem from an Alpha Roots collaboration he was working on with Joerxworx. About 2 years ago, that is crazy! I, of course, said I would take the stem. I needed to finish some other songs that were in the works before getting to play with Alpha Roots’s baseline. By the time I was ready to connect with the vibe, Russia had invaded Ukraine, unfathomable tragedy had begun, and the world was changing again. My song writing reflected the horror of what was going on. By the time all the stems were gathered, vocals were recorded, and the song was mixed and mastered, another war had broken out and the horror continued. 

Massive thanks to Mountain Songs for  trusting me with these blessed Alpha Roots stems. So glad Jamie, Jonathan, Joerxworx, and Russ got a chance to work with Alpha Roots again. Alpha Roots lives on. 

And the song is ready just in time for Halloween!

Lyrics: 

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep, right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari caught cha sleepin’
Day dreamin’ though you woke
Never thought what you were thinkin’
Now you only speakin’ what he spoke

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in 
Break in
Fillin’ ‘em with dread ya

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari gonna open
The coffin where you’ll rest
On his order you awaken
Now you answerin’ without questionin’ his behest 

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari caught cha sleepin’
Day dreamin’ though you woke
In the shadows see you creeping
His knife hidden inside his cloak 

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in 
Break in
It all turning red now

Somnambulist Break In

Acumen

Hear us oh Acumen
The horde is at the wall
Without your help I fear for all

Temptation, the darkness
Born from demon seed
Guide us in our time of need  

Oh Acumen 
Of wisdom and light

Mighty Arrogance spreads it’s wings 
As brilliance dims 

Do not forsake us now oh Acumen
Lead us not to rot but sweet dominion  

Brave bold vigilance
Is fending off the hate
But soon it may be to late

Dogma strikes
Without hesitation 
Awareness the revelation
The rev-e-la-tion

Comprehension
Understanding
Empirical reason
Are fading fast
Into the past 
Of days gone by

Oh Acumen 
Source of truth

Mighty Arrogance spreads it’s wings 
As brilliance dims 

Do not forsake us now  oh Acumen
Lead us not to rot but sweet dominion 

The brut strength of ignorance
Is smashing down the gate
Save us from this woeful fate 

The swarm of indifference
Attacks at viral speed
Defend us from absurdity

Oh Acumen

THE BOY - YOU STOLE MY SUN
out now on everywhere🫶

This music is gentle, sometimes cynical, and makes you feel comfortable. 

This was a big challenge! Whisper voice, acoustic sound, sad chill jazzy vibes. 99 BPM and this song ends in 2 minutes and 3 seconds. I want to deliver this song to the bedrooms of people who live alone with problems like me. I do think so.

YOU STOLE MY SUN

This Life Is Short (G. Di Nunno)

Wasting life and know the cost is steep
A slave to habits, sinking deep
Dust collected, dreams and plans were made
Forgot the spots they last were laid.

This life is short
Catch the solid blow
Throwing time away
Soon you come to know.
This life is short
Littered landscapes swell
What you can't get back
Drips inside a well.

Seems things are the same every day
The boring routine, all are alike
What would you do if you had your way?
Could you name them or apply them?

Sit in traffic on your way to work
Dinner, clean-up, television, sleep
Weekend catch-up, then the Sunday blues
Asking yourself is this all there is?

Spoken part:
Seneca said: "it's not that we have a short time to live,
but that we waste a lot of it."
Am I going through an existential crisis?
I feel I'm wasting time
Wasting
Life is so short
Only so much time
A crisis I must defeat
I want to go on.

Want to sit and watch the world unfold
And to do all those things that we used to do
Want to do much more before we're old
A different outlook, better view. 

This life is short
Grabbing all that's left
Sending off the stress
Clean the mental mess.
This life is short
Pull the joy from past
Place it on the now
Living all that's left.

#6. This Life Is Short

All Things Are Impermanent

It's the month for some dark music! 🎃
The lyrics to this song is a poem that my friend, Keith Dorman had published in 1993 called Commission. When I first read it I thought wow, this is dark! And it stuck with me ever since.
Keith kindly gave me permission to use the poem for a track. 
I blended a pitch shift in with my vocals whilst I recited the poem as I didn't want it to sound like myself as I wanted it to sound more horror movie vibe! 
Anyway, hope you all enjoy a rare vocal performance from myself.


Commission 

I commission you artist 
Paint me a terminal illness
Mixed media make it real
I commission you artist
Paint me worry and emptiness 
I must feel the hurt
I commission you artist 
Paint agony and horrific pain 
Reds and lightning flashes
I commission you artist 
Paint death and stench
Let it make me ill
I commission you artist 
Paint me dead

“November Haze”  by Luke

LANDS OF FOOLS 2024.

The backing track was put together using a jam session recorded with just drums and rhythm guitar, bass and lead guitar were added in later.  It's pretty sloppy, but it was fun.

The Past Is Gone

Pipers was supposed to be part of a 'triptych' but now has ended up being a 'polyptych'...

Dall-E SUCKS as there are no explosions going on in the image, as the prompts were blocked due to "unsafe image content detected" (explosion)

Explosions were part of the track...as artists we should be able to express what we want without regard to some algorithm dictated by our 'betters"...

Continuous Noise ( Version One )

I'm not doing any music these days,so I thought I'd post one I did years ago. It's a cover of a Paul Ads song I've always loved.

Paul Adamson is a damn fine songwriter and I hardly ever record covers of other folk's work,but this one resonated deeply with me and still does after repeated listens.
I didn't lean too heavy on the production on this,because I wanted to allow the song to shine. I hope you enjoy and bring a few listens to Paul's cloud.

Words and music by PaulAds. Song covered by Davy Vance

Paul's music can be found here. @thefuneralcrasher
