Alien Heart
Original music and lyrics by Dan Povenmire, Martin Olson, & Jon Colton Barry
New Lyrics by Larry Malys

Verse 1:
I think my girlfriend is an alien,
Invading force from Planet 10,
Said she was from out of town,
But I know what she meant...
I know she's from another galaxy,
I don't know just what she's a-doing with me!
She treats my love like a science experiment…
[Spoken:] Hubble-Bubble

Pre-Chorus:
Does she love me for who I am?
Or does she want to put my brain in a can?
She can have it, cause I never want to be apart...

Chorus:
From her alien heart!
(She's got an alien) Heart!
(She's got an alien) Heart!
(She's got an alien) She's got an alien heart!
(She's got an alien) Heart!
(She's got an alien) Heart!
(She's got an alien) She's got an alien heart!

Verse 2:
Hello! My girlfriend is an alien,
Dreams echo every now and then,
She said she was feeling down,
And began to lament,
“I must return to my home galaxy,
Planet 10 has been a-calling to me!
Don’t worry Love, I’ll return cause I love your scent.”

Pre-Chorus:
Do I love her for who she is?
Or has she turned my brain into cheese whiz?
I don’t care, cause I never want to be apart...

Chorus:
From her alien heart!
(She's got an alien) Heart!
(She's got an alien) Heart!
(She's got an alien) She's got an alien heart!
(She's got an alien) Heart!
(She's got an alien) Heart!
(She's got an alien) She's got an alien heart!
(She's got an alien) Heart!
(She's got an alien) Heart!
(She's got an alien) She's got an alien heart!
(She's got an alien) Heart!
(She's got an alien) Heart!
(She's got an alien) She's got an alien heart!

Pre-Chorus:
Does she love me for who I am?
Or does she want to put my brain in a can?
She can have it, cause I never want to be apart…

Chorus:
From her alien heart!
(She's got an alien) Heart!
(She's got an alien) Heart!
(She's got an alien) She's got an alien heart!
(She's got an alien) Heart!
(She's got an alien) Heart!
(She's got an alien) She's got an alien heart!

Alien Heart (2021 Extended Version)

I get songs beamed into my head all the time, no big deal. Sometimes, though, they don't seem to be songs for me, they seem to be for some other artist. They're in that artists' style and I hear that artist singing the song in my head. These songs always come to me completed already, there's nothing I can do but tweak certain lyrics or notes. Obviously I can't sing it in their voice, so whose voice do I use? This song was a song for Jason Molina. Maybe the Muses offered it to him at some point and he turned it down, I don't know. I just heard his voice, his guitar, his Crazy Horse worship band when I got this song. I jotted it down quick today in audible form. I don't know where the hell the Southern accent came from. I don't ever sing in a fake country voice. It sounded different when I rehearsed it. It sounded better in my head when I was hearing Jason's voice singing it. I'm sorry! Anyway, here are the lyrics. I do not think I like them, but this song was offered to me by the Muses, and who refuses the Muses?

It’s good to see you again, old friend
Recognize those lines in another’s face
It’s good to see that shack torn down
Good to see that dirt road paved
Let’s not dig around too deep
No sense uprooting the field
Let’s just marvel at the harvest
Regardless of its dwindling yield

We’re not gonna talk about the dark
We’re not gonna bring up the bad times
We’re not gonna light the cellar lamp
Disturb the shadows in the back of our minds

I can’t believe how long it’s been
But you ain’t aged more than a month
It’s surreal to see a childhood friend
Surrounded by their little ones
If I notice in your eyes
That not all the years were kind
If there’s a slowness to your smile
I’m not gonna pay it any mind

We’re not gonna talk about the dark
Or the years the locusts ate
Or if the good times arrived too late
Let’s thank the Lord for the food on our plates

When the kids go to bed
And the ball & chain turns in
And it’s just the two of us
I’m gonna lie through my grin
It’s all been smooth sailing
Plentiful, bountiful whaling
The boat never capsized once
Never even touched the flare gun
And I’d hope you’d do the same
Out of the deepest respect
‘Cause any day can sour quick
When you barely steer out of a wreck

We’re not gonna talk about the dark
Not gonna speak unsettling thoughts
Let’s change the subject on a dime
Anytime a voice trails off
We’re not gonna talk about the dark
Let’s keep the conversation light
Cast your cares into the bonfire
Let your troubles waft into the night

The Bloodline Files

These are the tracks from a never released/completed 4 album project that I came up with for Toy Soldiers Unite. It was going to tell the story of how the founders of TSU found the Digital Bunker as well as introduce some friends of the Toy Soldiers. This is not the full track list, as some of the songs that were originally meant for this project were included in the album "Watch Children". These tracks may make a return in the future with a new and improved recording/instrumentation, however I wanted to post whats left of this project from 2017-2018 before I forget. The Album artwork is comprised of 4 posters that were specially created for this project by @foxandrabbitart on Instagram.

Smile Always (Alton Towers - The Smiler Remix)

a pop song i made to tell my friends i'm sad so they don't get too sad
Einstein's Parable of Quantum Insanity: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."
lyrics:
 I keep hiding from everyone
And wondering why I'm lonely
I keep mulling over trauma
And wondering why I'm sad
Now it's late
But I can't sleep
I need to see a friend
Or I'll stay up
In agony
Swatting thoughts swarming in my head

I keep drinking myself to sleep
And wondering why I can't wake up
I keep overeating cheap food
And wondering why I feel dead
I get no rest
I wake up more
Beat than the day before
I worry that
In 5 years of this
I won't be able to move anymore

I don't know why I sabotage myself
I know that I know better than that
It's just that in the moment I forget
Every single moment I'm alive

I keep doing the same old shit
That keeps me in a nosedive
I can't break the habit
To save my life

Parable Of Quantum Insanity

"Einstein's Definition of Insanity" from the album in progress It's OK To Make Mistakes, in a demo form recorded on a reel-to-reel tape machine I'm fixing up.

Insanity (reel demo)

I fixed a friend's Tascam Portastudio and made this ditty as a test
it was snowing so it's about snow
here's the lyrics:
Fresh dandruff
From above
God's combing his beard
We bemoan
Each flake of snow
But winter without it's weird
It's snowing
It's snowing
So stoked
It's snowing

Sweatpants &
Hooded sweatshirt
Dressed to kill some time
Bumming out
Around the house
Getting sick is sublime
Kleenex
Bed rest
Vick's on chest
Hall's Defense

It's winter and I love it
Let it snow no don'tcha shovel it
Close the world and it the hay
I declare a national snow day

Spring will come
But til then
I'll be in my den
Bein’ a bum
At no doctor's behest
Getting peace & rest

God's Dandruff (tascam portademo)

Music is meant to invoke thought, not unlike art, politics, and religion. However, because of the emotional ties that the individual has with different types of music, or certain compositions, we as humans are drawn to certain sounds and textures (each depending on our own likes and dislikes). When we as children listen to music, we imagine a whole world that opens up around us, like a magical forest with dancing trees, or we use it for an adventure for our toys to play in. When we "grow up" (as society calls it), we unfortunately grow out of these practices. We loose our playtime and recess. We start working and paying bills and taking medication. My goal, both as a musician and as a Toy Soldier, is to help everyone that hears my music wake up their imaginations. I want the people of this planet to get a jolt of electricity running through their creative centers. That, my friends, is my goal. I hope you enjoy.
