Everlasting War ft. Frankie McCabe

SUPERFINE APOSTLES

The Missing was written for my parents who I lost some years ago. Anyone who has gone through grief knows that it never really leaves, although somehow you learn to cope. The lyrics came to me at a time when grief had come to visit. It's a song of thanks for, and a celebration of, the great love of my parents and an acknowledgement that sometimes, you just need to take a day. I've been told that it's one of my best songs to date and people are relating to the lyrics. The song builds and builds with a haunting chorus that sticks in your mind.  The music was composed in GarageBand and all arrangements and production is done by me.

The Missing

Angie Kuske - The Missing

MY BODY IS A CRIME SCENE
THE CLUES WERE THERE FOR ALL TO SEE
BUT THE FINGERPRINTS HAVE ALL BEEN WIPED CLEAN
SO DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE
THERE’S ALWAYS THE CHANCE THAT THE KILLER WALKS FREE
>
MY BODY IS A CRIME SCENE
>
THOUGH THE CRIME MAY NOT BE PERFECT
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN NOTHING SEEMS TO FIT
THIS AIN’T C.S.I., THIS AIN’T FANTASY
THIS IS HARSH COLD LIGHT OF DAY REALITY
>
AN OPEN AND SHUT CASE
ISN’T ALWAYS SO OPEN AND SHUT
ALTHOUGH THE EVIDENCE SEEMS TO POINT THAT WAY
SO DON’T BE TOO QUICK TO CONVICT
BECAUSE THINGS AIN’T ALWAYS AS THEY SEEM
>
CRIME SCENE
>
TRY TO GET INSIDE THE HEAD
OF AN EMOTIONAL INBRED
IT'S A RISK WE MUST TAKE
FOR WE CAN LEARN FROM HIS MISTAKES
>
JUST A MOMENT IN TIME
PUT IT OUT OF THEIR MIND
OR DO THEY ALWAYS RETURN 
TO THE SCENE OF THE CRIME

Based on just hearing one tune your creative talent can be dismissed outright, never to be revisited again, when listening to ten more of your tunes would shine a lot more light on just how creative you might be.

I have 500+ tunes to my name, scattered over many accounts; to get the full impact of my creativity you would have to hear almost all of them, and that will never happen, so my greatest strength will always remain buried, and that's the reason why I've always known I will never escape obscurity; only a handful will ever listen to more than one of my tunes, the remaining few who actually got as far hearing one tune, are understandably, not going to be impressed by that, because lots of musicians are capable of producing at least one stand out tune, so you see, my strength is also my curse because will ever get to know I have that strength.









Anyone seeking authenticity, imagination & personality, in creativity should explore unsigned music; that's where my faith in the future of music lies!

UNSIGNED MUSIC isn't inferior to SIGNED by any stretch of the imagination! Look past the illusion, find out what you're missing!

TWELVE FLAWED ANDROIDS 
FIXED UPON ONE SINGLE GOAL
TWELVE FLAWED ANDROIDS
ON A QUEST TO SAVE YOUR SOUL

TWELVE PIOUS ANDROIDS
ON A HOLY CRUSADE
CONVINCED THEY CAN CONVERT US ALL
RANSOM THOSE WHO STRAYED

LEARNING MUCH FROM HISTORY
THAT FEARING THE UNKNOWN IS KEY
KEN FAITH AND HOPE AND CHARITY
WHEN FAKED CONTROL HUMANITY

12 PIOUS ANDROIDS ON A HOLY CRUSADE

LEARNING MUCH FROM HISTORY
THAT FEARING THE UNKNOWN IS KEY
KEN FAITH AND HOPE AND CHARITY
WHEN FAKED CONTROL HUMANITY

A COMPOSITE OF EVERY CULT
WILL BRING ABOUT DESIRED RESULTS
WE’LL RULE THE WORLD AND ITS CREATOR
FOOL YOU ALL THEN FLEECE YOU LATER

CONVERT OR DIE, THAT’S YOUR ONLY CURTAIN CALL
WE’RE SENDING DISBELIEVERS TO THE WAIILING WALL

12 FLAWED ANDROIDS

SOME OF US AFRAID THE WORLD WILL END (SOME OF US AFRAID IT WON'T)

Memories of a place ,  in my mind  on the softer side

Cold Creek Cafe

This is the disorder I've suffered with since childhood; primarily responsible for me doing nothing with my life, doing nothing with my music.

NO FRIENDS ANONYMOUS

YOUR DREAMS ARE MY NIGHTMARES

SPOON-FED GENERATION

CRACKHEAD AT THE GO GO

SIX FEET UNDERGROUND

PREDICTING THE PAST

THE OBAMA SWAGGER

Don’t be fooled by musicians who click your tune’s like button, or even share your tune; chances are they never listened—only relevant feedback proves they did!

LAPEDO CHILD

The Amyl Nitrate Quartet is a bit tongue-in-cheek, slightly satirical, off the wall, zany, quirky, experimental, a bit punky, a bit funky, neither one thing or the other, accidentally fusing a multitude of genres!

UGLY AS SIN


YOU MUST POSSESS
A BEAUTY WITHIN
YOU MUST HAVE BEEN A BEAUTIFUL BABY
CAUSE NOW YOU ARE UGLY AS SIN

YOU MUST HAVE BEEN
A PHOTOGRAPHER’S DREAM
THAT RIDICULOUS CHIN
AND THE CHEEKIEST GRIN

YOU MUST HAVE HAD A SMILE THAT COULD WIN
SEND A HEART IN A SPIN
PAIR OF EYES THAT COULD SWIM
AND THE SOFTEST OF SKIN

I MUST CONFESS I WAS YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN
BUT THEN YOUR BODY CLOCK SHE WENT CRAZY
AND YOU JUST SWELLED LIKE A DAMN

YOU USE TO BE A WOW WITH THE MEN
BUT THEN THE SWELLING BEGAN
KINDA RUINED THE TAN

IT MUST HAVE WIPED THE SMILE OF YOUR CLOCK
LEFT YOUR BOX WITHOUT LOCKS
GIVE YOUR SHELL SUCH A SHOCK
AND YOUR EGO A KNOCK

YOU MUST POSSESS
A BEAUTY WITHIN
YOU MUST HAVE BEEN A BEAUTIFUL BABY
BUT NOW YOU ARE STRIPPED OF YOUR SKIN

YOU MUST HAVE BEEN
A BEAM OF THE SUN
BUT YOU GREW TO BECOME
THE ONE PEOPLE WILL SHUN

YOU MUST HAVE SUFFERED SEVERAL SHOCKS
WITH THE LOSS OF YOUR LOCKS
FROM THE TOP OF YOUR BOX
WIPED THE SMILE OF YOUR CLOCK

YOU MUST POSSESS
A BEAUTY WITHIN
YOU MUST HAVE BEEN A BEAUTIFUL BABY
CAUSE NOW YOU ARE UGLY AS SIN


YOU MUST HAVE BEEN
A PHOTOGRAPHER’S DREAM
WITH YOUR MAGNETIC BEAM
AS WIDE AS A SCREEN

YOU MUST HAVE SUNK A COUPLE OF SHIPS
WHEN YOU WIGGLED YOUR HIPS
WHEN YOU PUCKERED YOUR LIPS
AND SPAT OUT THE PIPS

BREAK

YOU MUST POSSESS
A BEAUTY WITHIN
YOU MUST HAVE BEEN A BEAUTIFUL BABY
CAUSE NOW YOU ARE UGLY AS SIN

YOU MUST HAVE BEEN
A PHOTOGRAPHERS DREAM
WITH YOUR MAGNETIC BEAM
AS WIDE AS THE SCREEN

YOU MUST HAVE SUNK A COUPLE OF SHIPS
WHEN YOU WIGGLED YOUR HIPS
WHEN YOU PUCKERED YOUR LIPS
AND MADE WITH THE QUIPS

I MUST MAKE TESTS
EXAMINE YOUR SCAN
YOU MAY HAVE BEEN THE CONSUMATE LADY
BUT YOU HAVE THE MOUTH OF A MAN

YOU MUST HAVE BEEN
A BUNDLE OF FUN
LIKE ATTILA THE HUN
NEVER SHORT OF A PUN

YOU EVEN REINVENTED THE RAP
WITH YOUR FREUDIAN SLIPS
WITH A SHOWER OF SPIT
OF YOUR TONGUE WORDS WOULD TRIP

YOU MUST CONFESS
YOU’RE ONE HELL OF A MESS
YOU MAY HAVE BEEN THE BONNIEST BABY
BUT NOW YOU ARE TWO TON LIKE TESS



YOU’VE JUST BEGUN
TO PILE ON THE FLESH
WILL YOU BLOCK OUT THE SUN
WELL IT’S ANYONE’S GUESS

YOU USE TO STRUT YOUR STUFF WITH THE BEST
NOW YOUR THIGHS HAVE GONE WEST
NOW THERE’S MORE TO LOVE LESS
YOU EXPLODE FROM A DRESS

I MUST CONFESS I WAS YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN
BUT THEN YOUR BODY CLOCK SHE WENT CRAZY
AND YOU JUST SWELLED LIKE A DAM

YOU USE TO BE A WOW WITH THE MEN
BUT THE SWELLING BEGAN
KINDA RUINED THE TAN

IT MUST HAVE WIPED THE SMILE OF YOUR CLOCK
LEFT YOUR BOX WITHOUT LOCKS
GIVE YOUR SHELL SUCH A SHOCK
AND YOUR EGO A KNOCK

UGLY AS SIN

ORSON'S PLAY (The World Will End On Tuesday)

My approach to making music is to go wherever it takes me!

Last place I wish to go is where lust for fame & fortune might take me!

CHARLTON HESTON'S COLD DEAD HANDS

Don't let the MUSIC INDUSTRY FOOL YOU, the best tunes around today are #UNSIGNED, #INDEPENDENT & #UNDERGROUND!

UNDERGROUND MUSIC IS ABOUT DOING IT YOUR WAY

Don't let anyone tell you what music to make or how to make it...JUST MAKE IT!

Toutes ces photos accrochées
sur les murs de la chambre à coucher
ne sauront jamais aussi bien raconter
que mes propres clichés
nos instants passés (bis)

Toutes ces photos déchirées
recouvrant le plancher
de la chambre à coucher
ne me feront jamais oublier
nos instants passés (bis)

Toutes ces photos brûlées
dans l'un des cendriers 
de la chambre à coucher
ne pourront jamais effacer
nos instants passés (bis)

Our past moments [JT The Owl and Lukowig]

Do we use our talent to promote #HUMANITY, #EQUALITY, #LOVE, #JUSTICE, or do we simply promote ourselves at the expense of others?


Not sure why my music isn't worth listening to, or sharing, when I share the posts of so many on here, on Facebook, and on Twitter; if all the unsigned musicians I promote think it's a pile of crap, just let me know; no sense me spending ten hours a day promoting unsigned musicians if my music isn't worthy of returned support! Ste van Horne
