Outdated music for dead folks

A sad song, about miscommunication between differently wired brains.

____________________

Lyrics
The blind, they do think ill of me
Must be a madman, to some degree
The deaf just talk behind my back
about what is going on and what I lack
I can see that, I can feel that

You think I’m selfish, naive,
downright evil; you misperceive
Disconnected; still very loud
Secluded brain; living in a cloud
I can see that, cannot help that

There’s no sign, above our heads
The things we do, it will be misread
I can see that; it makes me feel sad

Hurting when one rambles on:
‘there’s always something going wrong’
Unspoken expectations; the memos I don’t get 
The things they impose
You’re not my warden

Try to copy what they do
No connection coming through
Try to listen to a word
The real intention, it wasn’t heard

I can see that, I can feel that
I can see that
It makes me feel sad

Lonesome (introvert)
Foolish (offbeat)
Indifferent (processing)
Egocentric (angsty)
Awkward (shy)
Gullible (open-minded)
Dazed (limitless)
Clumsy (intellectual)
Eccentric (different)
Mean (honest)
Weird (beautiful)

A song about narcissist leaders and their followers.

Lyrics
Wolves and sheep
Cruel dance in the darkness of night
A new round up, but where is the fight

They glamour the sheep
All baffled by the masters’ strength and their icy speech
Sheep need to belong
Get along
Wolves and sheep

Wolves herding sheep
Unspoken hostilities shining through, 
from behind the masquerade
Some cannot keep up

Wolves feed off the weak
Submitting to such masters was not the best idea
There will be slaughter of sheep

Wolves and sheep

Counting the sheep
They howl with the wolves to fit in
Lost their intuition somehow

Expelled or asleep
Or they feel exalted for not being the slaughtered one
Most need to belong
Get along
Wolves and sheep

Wolves and sheep

Wolves and sheep

A song about the dying planet.

____________________

Lyrics
Noah’s ark, on a collision course
Adrift through unknown space
We might have caused the flooded lands
No one truly cared for this place

Are we still here to see the day
when the ship arrives back home
Will there be singing birds in Eden
Or have they gone extinct

Drifting beyond the event horizon
Where it all comes to an end
The memory slowly fading
With every new born child

Are we still here to see the day
when the ship arrives back home
Will there still be an Eden
Or did we dim the light

The ship
Lost in space
Adrift

Lost, lost in space

The ark (lost in space)

The Ark (lost In Space)

A creepy fun song about someone who's burried alive because of their will and testament.

____________________

Lyrics
I am alone in the dark
Thinking of my love
So hungry and cold
You left me with the creepers

You are so warm and alive
I should have dragged you with me
6 feet under, in the ground
You truly are a keeper

I need to get out of this confined space
But you locked the coffin’s lid with nails

Under a stone in the yard
Thinking of my will
How could you be so heartless
You truly are a weeper

I am alone in the dark
Thinking of my life
Sunken in the mould
Forgotten by the reaper

Used to be warm and alive
I should have brought a whiskey
6 feet under, in the dark
Could not sink any deeper

I need to get out of this confined space
But you locked the coffin’s lid with dozens of nails
Now you’re dining under my chandelier
I just need to get out of here

Black widow

Lyrics
The girl, she heard the growl of a souped-up motorbike
as it was speeding up from behind

She looked in fear over her shoulder
Unaware it was just a prank
She was the victim of shenanigans
Some rowdy boys and their toys

Shenanigans
Shenanigans

This girl, she looked in fear over her shoulder
to see them smug ones laughing at her
She was the victim of shenanigans
She didn’t even like those guys

Shenanigans
Shenanigans

Those boys and their shenanigans
She just needed to look tough

She didn’t look back over her shoulder
But this one time it was no prank; oh no
She was the victim of shenanigans

Shenanigans

Shenanigans

A song about remorse, after being angry at someone for (what turned out to be) the wrong reasons.

____________________

Lyrics
I am so sorry
For the trouble that I caused
Truly, truly sorry
You must be at a loss

I wrote you a letter at my darkest hour
To get things of my chest
Ever since I’m worried
Should’ve laid things to rest

I’m so sorry for the things I said out of anger
I just didn’t know
That you were living with this demon
In your head and in your soul

Outdated

Truly sorry

Truly Sorry

A song about know-it-all egos, as inflammatory as the sun.

____________________

Lyrics
Every now and then 
A saint comes from the sun
Always right about moral virtues
Yes, he knows it all

He’ll come to your doorstep
To blast defences away
A lovin’ kind of hatred in his eye
It’s with love from the sun

Sun ray through your window
It boils the house
If you don’t take up his kindness
You’ll be toast in the sun

Oh how his knowledge is so great compared to us all
Feel your own insignificance
in the shadow of the man from the sun

Oh so bright in his wisdom
He burns away the doubt
There’s no reason to have any fears
Unless you say he’s not right

A crack in your window
It’s too late to run
You’ll be cooked and grilled
By the man from the sun

A stone through your window
Storm wrecks town
He’ll never be sorry
For the man from the sun
He knows it all

The Man from the Sun

Nope, this spaghetti-western surf rock song is NOT about megalomania. It's about taking back control when someone treats you badly.

____________________

Lyrics
I put a crown on my head
The throne is all mine
You’d better say you’re sorry
For the thing you did

I am king
So don’t you try
Don’t you try

Don’t you have any shame
What did you try to achieve
You put a knife in the back
Of the one you adore
Well, that would be me

I am king
So don’t you try
Don’t you try

I’ll be on the throne at my place
The pleasure’s all mine
You may come into my court
If you keep your mouth shut
If you don’t do as I please
You’ll be sorry
So don’t even try

You just crawl
You just crawl
For the king that I am
You just crawl
Crawl
Crawl
Crawl for me

I have this crown on my head
Decisions are mine
You’d better lay at my feet
And hope I’ll forgive you

For I am king
So don’t you try
Don’t you try

The pleasure’s all mine

The mad King

A dark humor themed boogie woogie about a certain goth cult spinster from the Victorian era, who was accused of brutally murdering her father and stepmother with a hatchet. It wasn’t proven in court, so she went free. 

The lyrics contain references to details of the case, leaving open whether Lizzie was indeed the murderer, but also on whether she might or might not have been a lesbian. The latter was a rumour derived from the 19th century misogynistic believe that a refined woman of middle-class upbringing wouldn’t be capable of such a heinous act, unless of course (sigh…) the 32 year old spinster secretly was an angry lesbian (an imagery which was later adopted as a trope in modern pop-culture). Perhaps Lizzie simply wasn’t interested in marriage, or she did not have any luck in finding love, or she found the ideal of virtuous Victorian womanhood oppressive, or she was kept on a short leash by her parents, or perhaps she fell for women after all. Who knows? 

And why did Lizzie (according to the police reports) not show any emotions when she was confronted with her dead parents? Is it indeed ‘proof’ she was the murderer, as the police liked to think? Or was she simply in shock and did the whole situation feel unreal to her? I’d personally like to think Lizzie might have been on the spectrum (therefore lacking the emotional response bystanders would expect), but since I’m apparently drawn to neurodiverse folks, I might be projecting my own preferences on her as well.

In the end, we’ll never know the true story of Lizzie Borden, which is all part of the intrigue. Nevertheless, Dorian went on a virtual date with dressed-in-black Lizzie 132 years after the murders took place. It was a joy to write this song about her while reading her background story.

____________________

Lyrics
I went on a date with a girl named Lizzie Borden
The loveliest creature I had ever seen
The first time I saw her she was cutting down a tree
Forty whacks should do it, she said to me

Lizzie Borden
She’s my date

I went to the house of the spinster Lizzie Borden
Her dad wasn’t home, so I guess he was gone
She said she had a fight with her mum
But she buried the hatchet
I guess me and Lizzie, we were home alone

Lizzie Borden
She’s my date

Lizzie whispered in my ear: close your eyes
I guess I was in for a big surprise
There was a tension in the air
As if she was sharpening blades
Oh Lizzie Borden, you won’t leave me in one piece

Lizzie Borden
You wicked girl

Lizzie Borden
My final mate

A date with Lizzie Borden

A song about the harmful effect of telling youngsters there’s this one-and-only True Love out there waiting for them, as pictured in romance novels and romantic comedies. Without the alleged soulmate one is said not to be complete as a person (…) This imagery of a “one-and-only-true-love-who-meets-all-sky-high-expectations” sure is a recipe for disappointment, loneliness, self doubt and disaster. 

In reality, lots of people have the potential of becoming a lovin’ partner and it isn’t all roses and sunshine. A future partner might not even tickle all boxes at first glance, let alone those of parents, family, friends and society. In modern times it’s all a matter of trial and error, and a willingness to experience emotional growth.

Lyrics
The stories used to say
A prince will come your way
He’ll be coming home

Alone in your bed
Thinking of this man
How d' you know
How will you find
All reasons for doubt

Script in your ball book
It’s written in gold
But you crave to know
Where is your true love

True love

The fairy tales all state
True love it is your fate
He’s your soulmate in your darkest hour

No more pain
In your lover’s arms you’ll finally be whole
Your knight in shining armour
Keeps you safe at night

True love

There was no one who used to say
It doesn’t help to pray
Locked up behind your castle door

There’s someone in your life
But is she the one
She is your lover
Who you adore

Will you know
Will you find
Among millions under the stars
All you crave to understand
Where did the white horse run

True love

A shorter version of my 2016 / 2022 song. The intro is skipped and it has a more raw and focussed sound. Many thanks to Jameson and Alex for their advice on the mixing process.

Wolves & Sheep

For all the sensitive, divergent young individuals out there, expressing themselves through alternative clothing and creativity, feeling alienated among peers at high school.

Lyrics
You are not broken
You’re just perfect the way you are
It’s the way you were born

You are such a beautiful soul
Don’t let them bullies kill the light
For they are locked inside a box
And you my friend
You will break free

Set your doubt aside
Spread your wings and fly
The whole world is yours
If you’d only try
And when the time is right
You’re heading for the sky

You are more refined than most
Sensitive and unique
In your own right

The world is so wide
All the options are open
One day you will be ready
You will be free

Set your doubt aside
Spread your wings and fly
The whole world is yours
If you’d only try
And when the time is right
You’re heading for the sky

The path can be lonely
One day you’ll find your home
With those who understand
And you won’t feel broken
Within the collective of free minds

You (are not broken)

Lyrics
Summertime
The wind blows
Summertime
Roses in the garden

Scorching in the blaze of golden eye
The buzz of a mosquito passing by
Daisies in the field
Time stands still
Shadows fade away here on the sunlit hill

The wind blows
The wind blows

Summertime
The wind blows
Summertime
The wind blows

My thoughts ascending with a bird in the sky
Across the horizon where the musings fly
Sweetness in the air
Time stands still
Problems fade away beyond the sunlit hill

The wind blows
The wind blows

Summertime
The wind blows
Summertime
Lonely bird in the sky

Thunder coming from the deep
Prelude of the tempest’s weep

Summertime

The Silent King

Lyrics
This is the end
My dear friend
This is the end
My lonely friend

This is goodbye
This is the end
The end

You said it was time
The battle is lost

This is the end
The end

There is no hope
The suffering unreal
You’ve been to the dark side
Not holding up
Decisions unreal
All the sadness and pain
On a cold sad winter day
You went away

This is goodbye
This is the end
The end
Goodbye

This is the end

And now for something completely different… 

In parts of Europe we have monthly balfolk events, with live acoustic music and European folk dances like the Mazurka, Polka and the Schottische. There are lots of young subculture folks and almost everyone is on the dance floor. The vibe is always social and kind of sweet. When I went balfolking again (thanks to JOrk :-) after a break of 10 years, I got the idea to write a Flemish Mazurka inspired song; a waltz with an occasional silence on the third count, which feels like a slowmotion – a slide in time.

––––––––––––––––––––

Lyrics
Chandeliers and champagne
False laughter, oh what a joy
The bride, such a carnation
She loves the boy

Vixens and jesters
The family preys on her soul
Trapped in their garden
Down the rabbit hole

She keeps on dancing
Through brambles and thorns
The feast, it’s such a nightmare
But she dances on

Long after the party
Barefoot and ice cold
She keeps on waltzing
Wearing a blindfold

She doesn’t know about
the dance around the throne
Trapped in a madhouse
All alone

She keeps on dancing
With blisters on her feet
Oh she keeps on dancing
The hurt and the bleed
She keeps on dancing
Through fire and smoke
The guests are long gone
But the dance will go on

Once she was a breeze
But it didn’t take long
For the dragon to charm her
And mute her song

Forgotten in time
The name she once wore
A grin while still waltzing
Behind the door

Brambles & Thorns

Lyrics

Staring at the wheel
Lost faith in the things he knew
Now he doesn’t know where to go
Oh thunder 
“You’re no son of mine”

Lost in what to feel
His pride and the broken trust
The boy was sent away
His father said 
“No son of mine”

Now he’s flying
Crazy butterfly
No more lying
Crazy butterfly

Living from the heart
But was it such a wise idea
He’s been sent away
Unloved
“You’re no son of mine”

The lonely son
Running out of ideas
At home there’s an empty seat
A long road ahead
No more cards up his sleeve
The fear of life
Crazy butterfly

One breath, one take
This wasn’t his idea
Afraid to make a stand
The turn of a lifetime
They made him swim
Crazy son he was
Crazy butterfly

Crazy butterfly

Crazy  Butterfly

A song about the struggles of mankind throughout the times. Looking at the progress of civilisations and inventions over a longer period of time, it appears we’re slowly developing into… ehhh, well, into “what” exactly? Does it all lead to a revelation of some kind? Infinite knowledge? Weird tech and science? Invincibility? Godlike powers? Or are we bound to overplay our hand one day, fail miserably as a species, and be left in the dark for eternity?
I’d like to think our growth into complexity is the logical result of a strive to survive in a hostile environment, or maybe it’s all just some weird joke on steroids, leaving us with eternal hardships to no end.

Lyrics
We’re drivin’ on the road through time
In the end it will all be fine
We took some hurdles along the way
On our bumpy road through the times

Missing most of the signs along the path
We sit blind behind the wheel in the assumption 
That we are the kings of the road

Finally
After the drive
We might arrive
We’ll still be lost

We’re on the road through time in the assumption
That faith can be known, can be bend

Finally
After the drive
We might arrive
We might ascend

We’re on the road through time
All will be fine
We don’t have a map nor a goal
But we’re on our way to greatness and wisdom
We aim to become gods in the end

Finally
After the drive
We might arrive
And still be lost

The road through time

Dorian Urac composes, writes lyrics, sings, mixes, creates his own artwork and he plays several musical instruments. No AI. 

Inspiration: 70s to 90s altrock, 80s new wave, nostalgic lofi recordings and cheesy outdated music from the 50s and 60s.

Dorian's first and only gig took place at a closed playground, where a shady intergalactic convention of evil overlords took place. (True story, obviously they were not quite right in the head.) Ever since, Dorian decided to remain a cozy stay-at-home rock star.
