Music by San Daikaiju - Copyright 2013

Backing music to the final battle of Ghidorah and Godzilla off the soundtrack of 'Ghidorah's Revenge', a movie slated to be a Legendary Pictures release in 2013. The motion picture was ultimately scrapped, however, due to budget issues (aerial dirigibles are expense apparently) and licensing woes with Toho, which were later resolved in 2014.  ;)

Ghidorah's Revenge

Put the top down and go for sunset drive with this one.

Santana Nights

If we could all go into airplane mode,
We wouldn't be so cold,
We'd see that life's untold,
If we could be so bold,
We'd see the picture moving....

Night In Little Five

Airplane Mode (w/ Too Many Peachtree Streets)

Rock ballad with a moody twist. I know, I have a horrible voice but I try anyway.

In order to properly paint the scenery of today's upside-down economy, debt, and in general, world financial markets, one must be willing to accept that there are those that control the markets, control the currency, and will continue to do so until the very end. But before that time arrives, they will lie, cheat, steal, and borrow whatever they need from you and I until there is nothing left. They have the "us" versus "them" syndrome, and there aren't that many in their "us" club. When the margins come calling, they will avert it.

For the rest of us, well, we're left with the scraps, filtered down through the millions of layers of bureaucracy we call America. The school teacher, the bus driver, the blue-collard manager. The fisherman, the construction worker, the military soldier. We will feel the hunger pangs when things head south, but we will endure, we will make it because we have already been there. When time heals up the wound, we will have our chance.

LYRICS

Happiness was never what we wanted
Our innocence has left us broke and busted
Are we to try to pick ourselves back up again?
'Cause history's blind to everything that you can portend

When time is up, avert it
And no more pills to swallow
Emergency diverted
One more chance tomorrow

The evidence is mounting up
What will it take to fill your cup?
Can you see clear the road you're on?
Better pack it up before it's gone

Chorus

No more, no more, no more....

When time heals up a bullet
One more chance...
Emergency diverted
When time heals up a bullet
One more chance tomorrow

One More Chance

A sea of faces watch over me
I see their colors
Gently drifting through your tapestry
Don't seem to bother me

Falling fast right through the atmosphere
Can't feel the distance
Something different coming over me
There's no resistance
(There's no resistance)

Pent up lady - I see through your eyes
There's no disguise worth fighting for
Like the stars that shine into the night
The answer's right in front of you

Pent up lady - I see through your eyes
There's no disguise worth fighting for
Like the stars that shine into the night
The answer's right in front of you

The Answer

A full creative dump of my brain from a keyboard jam [the impetus]  I got myself into.  One thing led to another, and then...well...this.

Just really like that tight feel, all the while the track doesn't rush you down the road, just stays in a 'back' groove.

Wrong Road

If we could all just go into Airplane Mode we wouldn't be so cold, we'd see that life's untold, and if we can be so bold we'd see the picture moving.

Lyrics

[VERSE 1]
YOU DON'T REALLY NEED TO COUNT ME OUT
JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK I'M DOWN AND OUT
DON'T BE AFRAID

'CAUSE I GOT DOCTORS, FRIENDS, AND NEIGHBORS TOO
BUT THEY DON'T KNOW ME HALF AS GOOD AS YOU
DO WE SEEM THE SAME?

[PRE-CHORUS]
AND IF YOU SAID THAT YOU WERE IN THE MOOD
WELL WOULDN'T THAT BE SOMETHING NEW?
I'M HOPING THAT YOU'LL FEEL IT TOO, OH YEA

[CHORUS ]
SAY IT'S TRUE....
YOU WON'T BELIEVE YOUR EYES, NO
DEEP IN BLOOM....
FRESH COLORS OF LOVE DEVINE, YEA
TAKE IT SLOW....
YOU CAN'T MAKE UP YOUR MIND, NO
SAY IT'S TRUE....
LIKE YOU MEAN IT

[MUSICAL TRANISTION]

[VERSE 2]
I GOT SOMETHING WE CAN TALK ABOUT
LET ME SHOW YOU THAT I GOT NO DOUBT
YOU'LL NEVER BE THE SAME

I'LL BUY YOU ROSES, RINGS, AND FANCY CLOTHES
I'LL GO ANYWHERE YOU WANT ME TO GO
WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO??

[PRECHORUS]

[CHORUS]

[OUTTRO]
LIKE YOU MEAN IT (YOU WON'T BELIEVE YOUR EYES)
SAY IT'S TRUE (YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT)

Say It's True

The saga continues to the end. Was it all just a dream?
