Rebound In A Newtonian Way

From the album ‘Trust No Leaders’ by The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara. Released July 1, 2022. 

// The Pied Piper
“The Pied Piper” alludes to the medieval legend of the Rat-Catcher of Hamelin, the song talks about the complex interplay of power, control, and helplessness in modern society, drawing inspiration from the narrative style of the 1934 poem, “All of us or none” (Keiner oder alle), by the German political playwright, Bertolt Brecht.

// The Album
'Trust No Leaders' is a record that weaves a voyage through heavy metal history — from its roots in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal up until present day, fusing heavy metal with their signature ‘poetry performance’. Set against orchestral and cinematic soundscapes, the record also pays tribute to non-Western musical traditions, including Native American and South American folk music, Vedic chants, and Indo-Persian classical music. The lyrics bring together elements from modern theater, classical Persian poetry, to Jungian Psychology and theology. 

Commenting on the motivation behind Trust No Leaders, 
TCOMAS: "Our inspiration extends beyond musical genres and the confines of discipline.The confluence of influences in our album extend throughout time and across cultures. In retrospect, this really captures our ethos: Look back into the past for insight, and look into the future with foresight. And in doing so, we created something new of our own."

Landing about 15 months after their debut album Full Spectrum, the duo’s sophomore LP expresses a more aggressive side to the band and was recorded last summer at TCOMAS’ studio in Camden Town, London.   

Discussing the new album’s motivation, TCOMAS:
"The current crisis and the events of our time have made it necessary for us to analyse, investigate, and expose the issues in urgent need of systemic change by looking inwards into the human condition. We want the album to be a beacon of hope, for making a future that prioritises people and the environment."

// About The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara
Hailed as ‘pioneers of a new form of expression’ through the performance of poetry in music, The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara (TCOMAS) are a UK-based duo comprising Daphne Ang (Singapore) and Andrea Papi (Italy), who came together in London in early 2020 to record their debut album, Full Spectrum, released on 26 Feb 2021. Breaking new ground in the way they combine progressive music, poetry, and vision, TCOMAS fills a gap in music by bringing literature, theatre, and history, fusing rock and metal, with poetry performance. Their sophomore album, Trust No Leaders, is due to arrive on July 1, 2022.

Rope

«Slave to instinct» is the fourth track in a series of songs dealing with social issues. It is about the question: can we change and break out of old behavior patterns or are we «Slave(s) to instinct»... ?

Slave To Instinct

Our differences are the same 
And nobody is to blame 
Shame it’s such a shame 
Our differences are the same 

You went I came 
In a childish way 
I was half convinced 
We were destined for fame

In an instant though 
Your eye 
was the eye of the storm 
I felt like I should be gone 
We were molded 
From different forms 

We may always 
Remain anonymous 
Do we go 
I don’t know 
There’s a thing about 
Opposite poles

Opposite Poles

I feel it through my veins yea
Through my whole body
Nothing can really stop me
Not even gravity
Those sirens call out to me
That's where I have to be
With these powers given to me
Comes responsibility

Then my mind goes silent with all the chaos around
Their shadows are so violent time passes slowly now
My spider sense and focus wasn't built to miss
Even though I'm only mortal
I know I was born for this

Spiderman Spiderman
Just a teen doing the best he can
Shoots his web then he flies
Can't stop him they all tried lookout
Here comes the spiderman

And I'm falling down and I'm swinging back up
And I swear to God my life's a movie
I can't keep track of this story
Green gobbie goblin behind my back
Dock Ock trynna kick my ass
Venom just trynna turn me evil
All once were just normal people
Falling down and I'm swinging back up
Being good turns the odds against me
If I fail no one to save me falling down

Then my mind goes silent with all the chaos around
Their shadows are so violent time passes slowly now
My spider sense and focus wasn't built to miss
Even though I'm only mortal
I know I was born for this

Swinging Back Up

Getting Older (Country Mix)

[Verse 1]  
Empty bottles stare back from the floor  
Echoes of laughter I can't hear anymore  
Flicker of screens, ghosts in the glow  
Thumb through the numbers, but nobody knows  

[Chorus]  
I'm screaming silent into the void  
Walls closing tighter, nothing to avoid  
Rusted chains pulling me under the tide  
Super lonely, yeah, I'm dying inside  

[Verse 2]  
Coffee stains on yesterday's shirt  
Memories glitch like a signal alert  
Streetlights blur in the rearview haze  
Chasing shadows that slip away  

[Chorus]  
I'm screaming silent into the void  
Walls closing tighter, nothing to avoid  
Rusted chains pulling me under the tide  
Super lonely, yeah, I'm dying inside  

[Bridge]  
Twist the knife, feel the burn  
Lessons I never wanted to learn  
Fading ink on a crumpled note  
Words unsaid, stuck in my throat  

[Breakdown]  
Slow it down, shatter the glass  
Heartbeats echo like thunder's crash  
No escape from this hollow cage  
Rage builds up on an empty page  
Fractured dreams in the dead of night  
Super lonely, losing the fight  
Yeah, super lonely, fading light  

[Final Chorus]  
I'm screaming silent into the void  
Walls closing tighter, nothing to avoid  
Rusted chains pulling me under the tide  
Super lonely, yeah, I'm dying inside  
Super lonely, lost in the ride  
Super lonely, can't even hide

Rusted Chains

Shootin' the Breeze

Welcome to my channel! I'm Dave Curl, a Singer-Songwriter with English-Australian roots, born and raised in Switzerland. I have been passionate about creating and performing my own music since 2015, creating my own unique folk-pop-rock sound. 
On February 11, 2025, I released my single, Fool in Love—an upbeat pop track about the rollercoaster of love and the insecurities that come with it. The song holds a special place for me, as I wrote the first layout of it thirty years ago when I was in my twenties...
My new single “Casual Business Workspace” is dropping 22 May! It’s an uplifting pop-rock track about connection, creativity, and those special places that feel like home:)
