The background for the inspiration of course is Homer and the tales on the Trojan war. But Kassandra does not tell a story – it’s a kind of a painting with an ancient scenery or maybe just a sketch: Kassandra in front of the burning city. And it could be a modern painting. We are in a distance of more than 3.000 years to the plot of the ancient tales – and still mankind has Kassandras and tears in front of burning cities.

Working on Kassandra i had in mind from the beginning that Cindy will take the main voc in this song. So i wrote the harmonies and the song structure with that in mind and i love how she sings the song. Kassandra also includes a few notes played with a Greek Baglamas and helps the song to get a special note. This string instrument is the small sister of a Bouzouki. 

lyrics:
on sungod days in the morning dew
the tears of kings are just a few
meaningless rain drops

we keep that fire burning
until the tide is turning
and the ships are grounded

in the golden light of the afternoon
she is dancing like the queen of doom
she blinks into the sunlight

we keep that fire burning
until the tide is turning
we watch the flames rise higher
we keep that fire burning
until the tide is turning
we watch the flames rise higher
into the sky
into the sky

This is the second song posted from the album Bitzone, Stricknice, Wou-Wou & the Wormling, and I have been working on together with a number of other friends on SoundCloud. The first song shared was the late 80s indie American underground inspired song, Ghosting Out, that include Bonetender joining with his transistor organ and guitar. The Show / The Shrike Pt. 3 is one of the 4 songs on the album inspired by Wou-Wou & the Wormling’s graphic novel, the Shrike, which inspired this project. 

Massive thanks to Carlos Vivanco and Belial Pelegrim for joining us on this track. This is the 2nd song Belial has joined me on and the first song I have had the privilege of working with Carlos on. It is amazing to have them both on the same track together. I feel so lucky to get to work with all my favorite musicians.

Lyrics:
Slowly the room will fill with smoke 
Mirrors help occupy the hoax 
Laughing when no one gets the joke
Millions waiting for the quote
Tell me what would you do for fame
How do you plan to win the game
Can you fit in the mould they make
If I asked would you scream my name
For the show

Simon says I will take the lead
Stick with me and you will succeed 
Come and get it come and chase this dream
All you need is a sob story
Like a moth to a flame so bright
Your a slave to the stark spotlight
Cheshire cat with her teeth so white
Tune in and see it all tonight
In the show

In the show

Later that evening as smoke from the chimney was pelted by the rain
Slain and dismembered my head fully severed and mounted and displayed 
It’s hard to explain I’m awake with no pain and hallowed out in the brain
I wouldn’t complain, a life that’s mundane, is all I could hope to attain
except i was detained by bird with a man and this is what he was saying  

Are you having me on?

In the show

You are out all day and this sorry excuse is all that you bring back?
This second rate stag you decided to bag isn’t worthy of a plaque 
Did I make my self clear I can’t tell from your sneer are we still on same track
Our collection is nearly complete I conceit but there is only one thing that we lack

One human head 
One human head
Don’t disappoint me now
In the show
You’re a freak, an animal and most importantly a killer
You’re a freak, an animal and most importantly a killer
A killer
A killer
A killer

Here is an eco driven rock song i have written its about finding some 
spirituality and clean air in this crazy world .
We can all help do our little bit for the planet and help prevent further climate disasters and cut down on carbon emissions i hope you enjoy
check out the music video on you tube 
https://youtu.be/EpVLRsNJUNQ

the lyrics
Hear the sirens and street life hanging by the edge of your seat
Moloko plus and velveteen think i lived a different dream
yin yang days lost in the haze we gotta find the day
should of seen the warning signs
hope you find a way
ever-changing ever moving
tiny drops of rain
re-arrangements making those down payments
see those planes have flown again

give me sun and give me life so i can live again
let me breathe and receive the wisdom from the atmosphere
nothing last forever and theres nothing left to fear
now we are here
living in a moment of lost minutes and postponements
everything is clear

theres to much traffic everytime i cross the streets
holding on for some green air to keep me on my feet
could be you or it could be me messing with my head
dont want to breath them carbon fuels and poison filled with lead
everflowing always knowing
chances in a state of bliss
always feelings higher beings
erodes into my consciousness

C L E A R

Roll up roll up for such obscenity
I know I'm growing old ungraciously
The walls are padded so I pogo wild
Just see the beauty that I have defiled

I counted years but then I lost my count
Its hard to concentrate can I dismount?
My legs are aching when they feel the cold
I've never really done what I've been told
So I'm not old

CHORUS
Close your eyes there is nothing really left here to see
I promise that I am growing old ungraciously
Pass the tonic I've delusions of grandeur
Hello hello there is still a punk that's standing here

A wrinkled mess but still a lager lout
Who wants to see an old guy with his cock out?
That was no statement but a kind offer
Did I just say that, because its all a blur

Roll up roll up for such obscenity
I know I'm growing old ungraciously
The soon extinct vomiting wild child
I can just stand whilst I have my hair styled
I'm riled

CHORUS

Growing Old Ungraciously

Definitions of the term aporia have varied throughout history. The Oxford English Dictionary includes two forms of the word: the adjective "aporetic", which it defines as "impassable", and "inclined to doubt, or to raise objections"; and the noun form "aporia", which it defines as the "state of the aporetic" and "a perplexity or difficulty". The dictionary entry also includes two early textual uses, which both refer to the term's rhetorical (rather than philosophical) usage.

In George Puttenham's The Arte of English Poesie (1589), aporia is "the Doubtful, [so] called...because often we will seem to caste perils, and make doubts of things when by a plaine manner of speech we might affirm or deny [them]". In a reference from 1657, J. Smith's Mystical Rhetoric, the term becomes "a figure whereby the speaker sheweth that he doubteth, either where to begin for the multitude of matters, or what to do or say in some strange or ambiguous thing" (OED). Herbert Weir Smyth's Greek Grammar (1956) also focuses on the rhetorical usage by defining aporia as "an artifice by which a speaker feigns doubts as to where he shall begin or end or what he shall do or say" (674).

More modern sources, perhaps because they come after the advent of post-structuralism, have chosen to omit the rhetorical usage of the term. In William Harmon's A Handbook to Literature, for example, aporia is identified as "a difficulty, impasse, or point of doubt and indecision", while also noting that critics such as Jacques Derrida have employed the term to "indicate a point of undecidability, which locates the site at which the text most obviously undermines its own rhetorical structure, dismantles, or deconstructs itself" (39). Julian Wolfreys, in his essay "Trauma, Testimony, and Criticism", characterizes trauma as aporia, a wound with unending trail. Valiur Rahaman, in his book Interpretations: Essays in Literary Theory (2011), explained aporia as a creative force in both the artist and their art; it is, for the artist, an edgeless edge of the text or a work of art.

This work is also a collaboration with Marco Turrini following the previous work. We tried what happens if I play "MEMORIES OF THE PAST" which is one of Marco's masterpieces together with him.How I would add my interpretation to this work while making full use of Pink Floyd's flavor and Marco's honed sensibilities, that was my problem.A big fan of Pink Floyd can not defile the honor of Pink Floyd.  :)
I sincerely thank Marco Turrini again. Also, I would like to confess that I'd like to express my respects to the many musicians who gave me a lot of musical influences, involved in this work.
And thank you for listening to this work from the bottom of my heart.

The key:Gm , C

When I listened to the sound source of Marco's "MEMORIES OF THE PAST ... TRIBUTE", the first thing I came up with was  "Breathe" by Pink Floyd. It is one song in the album "THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON". Then, on "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" (included in  "Wish You Were Here ")A famous performance came back in my mind. This may be better known.
Both are masterpieces. There are a lot of name performances left. I will introduce it below.
By listening to that songs again, why I remembered that songs, I could find something in common between them, and at the same time you will be noticing something completely different.
What Marco drew for this song is Marco's "Pink Floyd", not Pink Floyd itself. Indeed, I feel an exceptional talent to him. For example,I'd like you to check the chord progression of the second part of this song. Mr.Marco treats it so that it is not cleverly noticed immediately,You will notice that the essence of a famous song nicely included. There should be many people who understood by just listening.Therefore, the title of this song is "MEMORIES OF THE PAST ... TRIBUTE", I do not ask Marco, I imagine arbitrarily and enjoying it. :)

You can listen to the original sound at Marco's page.

STEREOINDIE - Come Way - STereoindie

Every night I scream
I can't see you, I can't feel you, I can't  go on
Far across the distance
Big space between us
You never come,  I can't go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I know that your heart is long gone dear
Nevermore will you open, open my door
Maybe you're here in my heart
But my heart is cold
Baby you're here in my heart
But my heart is cold

Love touched us one time
Is one time enough?
I gotta drive on
Safe to say I loved you
Polaroids I cling to 
Safer said, I gotta move on

Near, far, wherever you are
I know that your heart is long gone dear
Nevermore will you open, open my door
Baby you're here in my heart
But my heart is cold

You're not here
There's nothing I fear
Though I know that your heart won't go on dear
We'll stay forever away
Baby you're here in my heart
But my heart is cold

*COLD* (MOAG/MidiPunk Collaboration)

Expression thru chance/Surrender to chance/Play the dice man roll your own questions on any street corner/Play safe only when it is dangerous to do so/Rip up all your tomorrows throw the pieces into the air/Let them flow follow the heart.
