Everlasting War ft. Frankie McCabe

In response to "Now I want to know if Lydia has a rephyrgerator in her flat?".

No, she doesn't. This is a problem because now Lydia has no place to put the leftover Mixo soup which is an attraction to all the monkees. Meanwhile, Doria and freaky Phrygia are still busy figuring out whether they are same or not. There are rumours that it depends on the root. Unfortunately --- no rephrygerator = neither carrots nor celeriac. (Why did I even start this.)

No Rephrygerator

Everything that can be heard was sampled from IPG1's fab vocals, except the one-bar Sting interlude. Thanks for keeping on doing this Ian!

Clear And Present with Ian Greaves aka IPG1

So this poor Rhodes has been having a hard life with me... not very compatible with tramway and train, standing in a room where normally nobody is, having been used as a stand for all sort of things... and the cat has been doing crazy stuff with it, too.

Digged it out, cleaned it, fidgeted with this grrr sustain pedal for some hours, welcome back my friend!

Lyrics: 

Here we are, lost in haze
In an endless concrete maze
Working for our enslavement
nature giving way to pavement

Turn our back on truth
Our convenience is now a prison
Sold lies of a better tomorrow
Consumed by greed, promises hollow

Money's your God now

Hungry ghosts wail and moan
Believed the lies they were shown
Mouths agape at parlor tricks
Pied pipers’ lead to the river Styx

Forgot everything that’s come before
Bathed in the manufactured glow
Consuming all of our attention
cradle to grave their sole intention

We never take the time to ask
Who profits from our pain and lack
We watch others fall through the cracks
Our morals no longer intact

Black mirrors sell a vision
Improve our fallen condition
$19.99 for the golden calf
It’s half-off, better act fast

Slip down the evolutionary ladder
Brains shrink with each misstep
Sell our souls to get our kicks
How many skeletons got rich quick

Money's your God now
You can have it all
Did you think that it was free?

Babylon built brick by brick
Bad decisions wall us in
Search for the escape hatch
buried beneath mounds of scratch

We’ve reached critical mass
No attention span left to ask
Why the foundation is so cracked
Tipping point has been surpassed

Life valued less than common cents
Even our bodies have been lent
Ones and zeroes decide our fate
Plastic identity, totally fake

Sign on the dotted line 
Everything goes, name your price
Puppets dangle from golden threads
Souls gone, hearts of lead

Money's your God now
You can have it all
Did you think that it was...

Never enough to feed the beast
Consumes all for its feast
Never stops, feeds and feeds 
Belly bloated on all that breathes

We won’t stop until we reach
The highest peak of idiocy
Almost there, not much time left
We wallow in our lack of depth

There’s still time, we could say no
To this degenerate side-show
Turn back this broken clock
The door will open if we knock

Unless...

Money's your God now
You can have it all
Did you think that it was free?

Lyrics (IPG1)

This that acid drop—- mind corrupt
Drop that purple microdot
Fear not ——if the time stops——
and the clock refuse to TikTok
Full throttle—speeding-roadblock
brain cell just don’t give a fuck
Tie dye—-sandals ——dreadlocks
Woodstock —type ——Hip-Hop
mesmerized by the kilowatt
my brain ——become a hotspot
Am I human——Am I God——
preparing for ——-the aftershock
the aftershock——-the aftershock
Hell yeah———— and why not ——it’s still that purple
microdot—-microdot—— microdot

Chorus
Think twice before you say no
Charisma —-come on let’s go
The moves —-without Ego
The smile —-or the combo
It’s good times —-and Convo
Cant avoid it—-so you want some more
The allure —-of an outlaw (X3)

Guitar riffs and jazz lines ——like rainbows and sunshine
No limits no guidelines——I’ll start off with a peace sign
don’t even try to undermine——Or I’ll peal back your hairline —
Love it when the stars align——You know I’mer get mine
time stop ———-brain cells begin to pop
From the bottom to the top ——a mental——hotspot
Mesmerizing sound —-kicking kilowatts
From that purple microdot

God status—-here we go at last—-
from the bottom to the top —break that hour glass——
So why you think your teeth are shattering ———so damn fast
It a personal experience—-a one man class
No sleep for those who know ———-the afterglow
Are Y’all ready for the show—Y’all ready for the show…..
no malice establish—-and it’s hitting on the spot
A God’s made —-for love—-that—— purple microdot
This that aftershock—-that aftershock—that aftershock
From that acid drop ———Mind corrupt —Mind corrupt
time stop ———-brain cell begin to pop
From the bottom to the top ——a mental——hotspot
Mesmerizing sound —-kicking kilowatts
From that purple microdot —-From that purple microdot

——Chorus ——

Feeding off the sound like a starving vampire
music in my blood turns a spark into fire
The progeny of lyrics—-rhythm tunes—-desire
Made to Pierce your soul ——like a suit of Bob-wire
Hang tight and ride this storm of ——forget me Nut
Left-brain—right track—it’s called —-purple microdot
And you know I’ll be here—— from —-time to time
Fucking with your mind ————at the drop of a dime
Underground—-under the tongue—-paint a mental picture
yo—you’ll never really know when the acids gonna hit ya

Lyrics: 

I hear a call from deep inside
Calling me back to the source
To the space 
where
I once belonged

When the change is complete
Is there nothing left of me?
light reflects
eternity

What seemed solid now dissolves
And the past is washed away
Is it fear that holds
the truth at bay?

When the change is complete
Is there nothing left of me?
light reflects
eternity

As the waters cascade down
Reminding us where we belong
Healing us in 
serenity

What seemed solid now dissolves
And the past is washed away
Is it fear that holds
the truth at bay?

As the waters cascade down
Reminding us where we belong
Healing us in 
serenity

Flowing through eternity
We'vw been here before
The search will end
When we seek no more

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.

I recorded this track immediately after "The Good Life" on the same day. This track also it's a remake to an old track that i did in 2018.

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]

In order to relate to your music most listeners need to be able to #pigeonhole it, if they can’t do this because you create tunes that are unique they'll likely dismiss your creativity, absorbing it years later when musicians, thinking they got there first, stumble on your sound!

I say it the way I see it, not the way THEY want me to see it!

Influenced by Gothic Music, lots of Funk, lots of Fusion, Post Industrial, Psychedelia, a smidgen of Post Punk, elements of Death and Dark Disco, traces o Trip Hop, Trap, EDM, Trance, Techno, House, Glam Rock, Nu Disco; Dub; I think you get the picture!

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!
