i don't think i have ever heard anything quite like this.

Totally unexpected. An intense moving experience. Huge ending passage. Still, unfortunately a real incident

Have goosebumps listening to this. Very intense, powerful and original...the ending is amazing!

SCANNING lyrics

Im scanning through our story
Im locked in a future I created for us
You disappeared from my life
I gave you all I had
But it was not enough
You disappeared from my life
Its still your terms like it always was
All these questions spinning around
Somehow I keep losing my ground

Scanning through our story

Not sure if Im haunting our dreams or mine
You disappeared from my life
Im scanning through our story
Im locked in a future I created for us
you disappeared from my life
you had my heart and my time
all these questions spinning around
Somehow i keep losing my ground

Yeah Im scanning through our story

Some of the lyrics in this songs have been used in other songs. specifically the "Overstated Verse" was first used in the "Double shot of Cuervo" and the "i had to dig a hole" verse has been used in a Furico music team collaboration that is still l in production. I liked how they fit in this song!

Tiny Tyrants
A chip a chirp and then the Strike.
Inexplicable in origin or in fact.
a distant memory unknown and yet familiar
as a house-hold pet.
Which brings up the fact that I outlived ten dogs and cats
and grieved so hard their Tragic Passing.

Quiet isolation, So delicious
causes course derision and division 
among the Tiny Tyrants
A waste of time of which i have not enough of.
Malice pushes through and stabs me in my heart.
and leaves behind another broken part
that always mends a little crooked.

I had to dig a hole so deep that i Fell in
and i never managed to get out again
This life is just a state of mind
and there's no need to be Unkind
mistakes are made from time to time 
and who's to say they were mistakes at all.
Someone's gotta make the call.
Someone's gotta take the Fall.

overrated understated slightly dated speculations
on the origins related to complicit complications
of intention and the nature of invention 
in the manufacture of Reality.

Tiny Tyrants.....Artwork by Kris F

Tea plantations on the planet Athoek, the location of some intrigue in Ann Leckie's book, Ancillary Sword.
I took inspiration from the early work of Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou (Vangelis)RIP. I loved how he combined traditional Greek instruments with electronics on "Earth".  "Heaven and Hell"  remains a personal favourite.

Plantation On Athoek

Written after reading the horrible news story of a man who shot himself in the woods after discovering he'd accidentally left his infant son to die in his hot car in the middle of summer.  

Other than that catalyst, this is all entirely fiction. Note: this is NOT a song glorifying or making light of parental neglect, or tragedies like this. At all. It's a fictional song inspired by something real that happened, attempting to get inside the anguished mind of someone who fucked up in the worst way and paid the ultimate price.

Gonna Fly

Taking five, waiting for the time to arrive, searching for the will to survive, on the drive of your lives
Taking four, chilling for another cold war, dreaming of the broken dance floor, falling through another trap door, hoping for more
Taking three, dominoes are falling over me, imprisoned in the land of the free, submerged in a fake reality
Taking two, power trippers calling after you, looking for another breakthrough, rejoicing at the callous menu, it’s true
Taking one, mad dogs running for the sun, fat cats have only just begun, creaming cream, having fun

Counting Down

It was an honor and a pleasure to sing to the sound of a delightful composition by two wonderful artists such as Debra Buesking(@debra_buesking) on piano and David Dunham(@david-dunhamuser589535203) on guitar. Thanks for this priceless opportunity.
Below the Italian / English lyric

Dimmi dove sei
Torno a casa e non ti trovo più
Le tue calze sopra il letto
Sempre accesa la TV

Non dimentico 
Le tue promesse in bilico
e le domeniche
Sempre spese solo dove decidi tu
Forse ho il cuore troppo piccolo
Per lasciarti la tua libertà
casca il mondo 
quando te ne vai

Mille baci e poi
All’improvviso il vuoto fra di noi 
Non so perché rimango appeso qui
Il tuo canto mi ha ingannato 
e come Ulisse mi salverò
Ma poi ricadrò
nella tua tela ancora

Sei sparita ormai
irraggiungibile
ma è sicuro io ti troverò per dirti che
che non mi arrendo e voglio solo te
Puoi scommetterci
Vorrei sentire ancora i brividi
Mentre stringo la tua mano
 per non lasciarti più
………………..
Dimmi dove sei 


Tell me where you are
I come home and I can't find you anymore
Your socks over the bed
Still on the TV

I do not forget
Your promises in the balance
and Sundays
Always spending only where you decide
Maybe my heart is too small
To leave you your freedom
the world falls
when are you leaving

A thousand kisses and then
Suddenly the void between us
I don't know why I'm hanging here
Your singing deceived me
and like Ulysses I will save myself
But then I'll fall back
in your web again

You're gone now
unattainable
but it's sure I'll find you to tell you that
that I'm not giving up and I just want you
you can bet
I wish I could still feel the chills
As I hold your hand
  not to leave you anymore
……………… ..
Tell me where you are
