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

Tranquility

Music video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxGOsGtivJY
Humans seem to think they need to 'tame' nature, that it needs to be controlled,  and things like trees, insects, wildlife, animals are ranked on their 'usefulness' to humans, but they should not have to have a reason or purpose to exist- they should just live and be because why should their existence be measured to suit humans?
Be the person who sees all life as important, all the way from the grass you walk on, to the insects that we can't live without, to what you are eating, and the journey of how it got there.
Please think twice about what chemicals you put on your lawn just to rid so- called 'weeds', which happen to be so so beautiful if you can alter your way of thinking. My happeist times are sitting in my garden watching buzzing bees and insects flying round, I don't need to interfere in their homes, I want them to thrive. 
Most people continue doing what they do, because they've always done it. but it's a really good idea to educate yourself about the environment, its good to change your mind and see things differently, just because everyone is doing it, doesn't mean they are right.

Lyrics

Pretty and pretty wild
When you leave it alone
Yellow and lilac and absolute

Let the weeds grow
Let the flowers grow
Just leave it alone
Put the chemicals away
And watch it all grow
Let the weeds grow

Hello I am noticing you
Just being and being and being
Existence doens't need to be justified
A joy and a love not confound

Let the weeds grow
Let the flowers grow
Just leave it alone
Put the chemicals away
And watch it all grow
Let the weeds grow

Pretty is so pretty can be wise
Dancing in all kinds of lights
Intuitive this magic never ends
You don't need to control anything

Let the weeds grow
Let the flowers grow
Just leave it alone
Put the chemicals away
And watch it all grow
Let the weeds grow

The song came together in about a day. Then a few days of fine tuning. Rhythm tone is getting much better thanks to James T Ford Music (https://soundcloud.com/jamesfordmusic). Helped me dial in a heavier tone. 

All parts written, performed, recorded, mixed and arranged by Daniel McBride.

Massive thanks to Russell Sinfield for spending hours and hours mixing and mastering this EP, especially since he originally thought he was only mixing one song, lol! And thanks to taRka, Arkestar, Joerxworx, Bitzone, and Alex for all the inspiration, creativity, and energy you added to this track. You all made this track what it is!

I grew up on hip hop and have always been a hip hop musician first. Hip hop (and lo-fi indie rock) is the lens through which I always first approach making a song. After spending years listening to the music of our SoundCloud community, everyone's music has found a deep place in my heart. I believe that when hip hop artists first began sampling funk tracks in the 80s, it was out of love and respect for the music they grew up with and identified with. I now sample the music of my SoundCloud collaborators and friends to make new songs from those that I love. Tony Turn Around is a celebration of that process. It is a representation of the joy of sampling and the delight of playing around with cool sounds from musicians you respect and admire. I hope you all continue to enjoy what we have created as a community here on SoundCloud and Bandcamp!

This project is dedicated to the development of a more conscious, equitable, harmonious alternative to the destructive imperialist colonial neo-liberal capitalist consumer societies in power.

Problems That We Have (MUSIC VIDEO IN DESCRIPTION)

In memory of author's mother ZLATICA who died by the car crash. The lyrics of the song reflects the atmosphere when it happened.

Ambulance (lyrics: Michaela Martykanova)

1. The sky is clear, the air so warm is getting under your skin. Suddenly, the silence is broken. There´s sound of howling ambulance.
Hello, hello, perhaps somebody (left us and) gone too soon
Hello, hello, gone somewhere, to find his own piece of land
2. The sky is clear, even no clouds, but cold is chilling the (your) bones
Shock and fall, silence and dark, the soul is breathing no more
Hello, hello, perhaps somebody (left us and) gone too soon
Hello, hello, gone somewhere, to find his own piece of land
Hello, hello, somebody again (left us and) gone too soon
Hello, hello, gone somewhere, to find his own piece of land

Spirits Of The Witchwood

Track shows a very delicate theme and a quite hard-riffed part, both alternating and finally flowing up to an endless symphonic dream (words are half a poem I wrote previously (not these, but lyrics below)).

Letra  /  Translated lyrics:

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)  /  Don’t you wake up (Only a dream)

No... despierta... no... no despiertes  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up
no, cuidado... no despiertes, na na na na na...  /  no, take care ... don’t you wake up, na na na na na…
... despierta al fin y date cuenta  /  ... wake up at last and realize
de que todo ha sido un sueño, na na na na na...  /  everything has been a dream, na na na na na...

Una vez más, nervios y resentimiento,  /  Once again, nerves and resentment,
todo en mi vida es sueño, sólo ha sido eso.  /  everything in my life is a dream, it has only been so.

Y de nuevo, con el tiempo,  /  And again, with time,
incubando un nuevo sueño,  /  incubating a new dream,
me voy hundiendo en mis propios brazos,  /  I am sinking in my own arms,
me acuno, me canto y me voy acostumbrando...  /  cradle myself, sing to myself and get used...

Otro escenario, otros personajes,  /  Another stage, other characters,
la misma historia, na na na na na...  /  the same story, na na na na na...
que durará un día, un milenio,  /  which will last one day, a millenium,
toda mi vida, na na na na na...  /  all my life, na na na na na...

Pero sin duda vendrán a despertarme  /  But undoubtedly the laughs of people
las risas de la gente, alguna tarde.  /  will come to wake me up, any evening.

Y entonces, con miedo...  /  And then, fearfully...

No... despierta… no… no despiertes (…)  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up (…)

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)
