And so the mean spirited have spoken:
"There will be no depth only brutal logic
And pursuant to the previous declaration: 
It's schoolyard bully law and you'd best abide it"

And every day you wake
To the next move in the game
Another sketchy claim
Creating maximum disarray

And over the wall
The Horizon of Hope
Still calls you on
To a new all-time low...

And so the mean spirited have spoken:
"There will be no peace only fear and cruelty
And with a mixture of naivete and hatred
We will destroy the state and we'll profit richly"

And every day you face
The hostile lizard brain
As they strive to contain
The world in a zero sum game

And over the wall
The Horizon of Hope
Still calls you on
To a new all-time low...

And over the wall
The Horizon of Hope
Still calls you on
Through this new all-time low...

Horizon of Hope 
Still calls you on
All time low 
Over the wall

Horizon Of Hope (demo with strings)

Bad keys, shaky shakers, 
acoustic and tremolo guitars... 
I try to not grill ALL of these ingredients
ALL of the time... but it’s hard.

Who is Amy Fear?

Amy Fear is . . . a homing-beacon for ghosts . . . a victory of love over nostalgia . . . a dream inside a machine . . . 

Amy Fear is a long distance musical love affair between three old friends living on three separate continents. Since forming in early 2012 the band have rarely met face to face, choosing to communicate by songs transmitted through the ether. Amy Fear’s music embraces eccentric electronica, fuzzed up garage rock and folky melancholia. With no presence in the material world Amy Fear doesn’t have to lift any heavy amps and is free to indulge every creative whim.

Here are just SOME of the many musicians who float our boat. Please give their work a listen.

Hi, I'm Chris and I am a research scientist by day and a songwriter in my spare time. I joined SC in 2013 and I mainly record acoustic guitar and vocal harmonies, but also like playing electric guitar, bass, keyboards and using drum loops.

My musical influences include Syd Barrett, Neil Young, Peter Gabriel and Paul Simon, and increasingly fellow SoundClouders; My favourite bands include Yes, Supertramp, Pink Floyd, Rush and Steely Dan, and I also listen a lot to The Beatles, Elton John, The Who, Van Morrison, Genesis, King Crimson,  Jethro Tull, Sparks, Stevie Wonder, The Grateful Dead to name but a few...

Anyway, please feel free to get in touch - I can make any tracks (in whole or in part) available if you want them for collaborative reasons, or if you just want them for your mp3 collection :)
