Emperor of Myself

Another day I can't see your flame
When you had enough
Another day I can't hear my name
If I scream you will not hear me
Left me in a hole all alone
I am trying so hard to save us
Left me in a hole all alone
You're trying so hard to kill us

Listen to me and follow my lead
For one time in your life
Listen to me divided we can't stand
For the rest of our life

I can't breathe I can't live
Can you see I'm not eternity
Living with fear of being alone


Still Divided

Never Said Goodbye

Synesthesia is main motif for this song, first because of original lyrics, then as I felt like adding it more flavor with female vocals*, & finally when I recently watched some paintings about this matter**.

*Great vocal performance by https://soundcloud.com/maraoldfield is most notorious matter in this piece, where riffing parts toggle with bass-guided proggy ones.

**Due credits to https://soundcloud.com/wouwouandthewormling for ad hoc painting of the song’s artwork.

Letra  /  Lyrics:

QUIERO SABER SI HACE CALOR  /  I WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS HOT

En verano, insoportable,  /  In summer, unbearable,
todo está lleno de ruido.  /  everything is full of noise.
El invierno, silencioso,  /  The winter, silent,
que congela los sonidos.  /  which freezes the sounds.

No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold. 
No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.

Los días soleados  /  Sunny days
acompañan al estío  /  go along with the summer
y cuando llega el invierno  /  and when the winter comes
el cielo está oscurecido.  /  the sky is darkened.

No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold.
No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.

Quiero saber si hace calor (Vocals by Mara​Oldfield)

My Despair

Welcome to this nightmare
When all are the same
No asking why does it hurt
No one is here and nothing to believe 

It starts with burning inside
And then will eat you alive
It will kill your mind
Feelings you cannot hide 
You re asking yourself why 
You re trying so hard to die
You re asking again why 
Why it burns inside

The night comes again
Darkness your only friend 
Lying alone in your bed 
Thoughts are driving you insane
Why does it hurt?

The sky was mine what I had made it yours 
I cry and I cry I am all alone
No one is here no one can hear no one sees inside me

I try to tell I try to show I try and I fail 
To your eyes to your soul I try and I fail 

Why It Burns Inside

Upperroom (Peter Tetteroo 2001)

Wait, Just a little more time
Just a little more climb
To show me the way

And it takes, just a little more love
When push comes to shove
You’ve got to show me the way

Moments like these
Make me forget, make me believe
Where old gray mountains collide
We stopped for a rest, sheltered inside
Braced for the ride

Sleep. So peaceful the night
Still dreaming of flying
To show me the way

Awake. Just a little more rest
And I’ll leave the nest
You’ve got to show me the way

Moments like these
Make me forget, make me believe
Where old gray mountains collide
We stopped for a rest, sheltered inside
Braced for the ride
And gathering tide

Moments like these
Make me forget, make me believe
That all this world is for us
A beautiful life, a beautiful world, a beautiful love
Such a beautiful love

Brace For The Ride

Latin Lounge

In ribbon smoke and loud ingress
We ‘drew into the pitted grass
All the creatures all around 
Odd chancers even went to ground
Where noise became noiseless

I could only see the space
Your mouth had launched like boats my way
Across the drowning waves

We rolled the dice without the rules 
Stared at the S**, broke all its ‘news’
Survived tightropes and tossed a coin
Winked at the cyclops and made a choice

We always made a choice
We always made a choice 

Fender Jazzmaster recorded loud with gloriously noisy, hissy pickups.

Ribbon Smoke

It's that time of year again... like I need an excuse to make creepy music!

Thanks, Jake, for being my patient model.

R.I.P. Pace.  My best friend and mentor. Changed my life forever and will be missed forever.

I was born in Huntsville. I use to dig in my father's drawers looking for music and would pop in whatever I could find. I ended up listening to Bruce Springsteen, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Led Zeppelin, Prince. Just whatever I could find in his collection. So, my interest in music began at a young age compared to most. I would literally go to bed listening to music with headphones on when I was that age. Music was in my veins and has been ever since. As I got older, around the age of 11 bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Tool, Rage Against the Machine, Beck, Radiohead & many others began blossoming. I wasn't a fan of hair metal, so these bands offered something different and it was something I liked. Up till this point I had indulged in Classic Rock. Bands like the Doors, CCR, Beatles, Johnny Cash, and a little bit of punk rock. We had a punk rock scene in D.C. Henry Rollins was from our city and Bad Brains as well. I listened to other punk bands like Dead Kennedy's and GG Allin. Around 14 years old I got my first guitar. It was a acoustic guitar my father got me for either my birthday or Christmas. I think it was my birthday though. I never took lessons, I just bought a big poster with guitar chords and would sit there everyday learning them. I use to have to walk everywhere and remember coming up with songs in my head, but never had the means to record them and they would just fade away within a day. By the time I was 18 yrs old I landed myself in jail for the first of many times to come. Playing guitar had long been something I was doing, but drinking and partying was my new favorite thing. I never really got into any big trouble, but I've had my fair share of time in the jails. About 5 years ago I decided to clean up my act and start writing music. I bought some software, new equipment and began recording. I never thought it would get me anywhere, I was just doing it for fun really. Then people began to respond to what I would write. People really liked my music and it inspired me to continue and to be better. So, I'm still on that road.
