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)

I can see that

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)

the wonder that precedes the thunder

I haven't got what it takes to quit
'just play my hand n' get on with it
some might pray or say it's written in the stars
holding up answers with exclamation marks
toss an easy catch, all passions run from me!
strike another match, noncommittal and care-free

Ooh hooo...

you wanna' slow 't down, then I'm gonna' get off
'paid for my ticket, now I'm not gonna' stop
'swear it's like a habit to be hoodwinked, short changed
this time we're gonna' go the whole, damn way
this time we're gonna' go the whole, damn way

down in the valley we were almost lost
with the songs of the river n' the light so soft
th' jury dispersed when the judge didn't show
th' accused left standing n' th' case was never closed
deft slight of hand, murder in the first degree
void of reprimand, footloose n' fancy-free

Ooh hooo...

the wraith on your mast and your blinking cunt
will guide these stars 'til my days are done
but did you ever stop for a moment t'ponder
the loneliness of the wonder that precedes the thunder
the loneliness of the wonder that precedes the thunder

Ooh hooo...

the loneliness of the wonder that precedes the thunder

the Wonder that Precedes the Thunder

CLUTCH

Remember How We Were 

You lying in the sun
Staring at the sky and all the clouds that drift away
Fun, we had so much fun
Endless lazy days with nothing else to do but play

Looking back
Remember all the things I used to say to you

Remember how we were 
Remember how we were

Endless days in the sun

Remember how we were 
Remember how we were

Remember How We Were

Jesus loves you

Jesus loves you, God's only son
ev'rybody else thinks you're a cunt
say what y'will, do what y'must do
Jesus forgives, somebody has to

bigger than Elvis, it's true what they say
off for the weekend, back on Sunday
he died for our sins, the kids made a fuss
and so it begins, if that's not enough

Jesus loves you, 		
       somebody has to

heavily burdened, going down slow
the final curtain, fire n' brimstone
eternally damned, better believe it
it's out of your hands, repent, release it

the rising damp, 'church needs a new roof
th' basement is rank, th' pidgeons won't roost
'not just th' money, your body and blood
children are useless, your soul if you would

Jesus loves you, 		
      	somebody has to

 days of the empire, with unquenchable thirst
lived by the sword, killed by the word
Jesus loves you, 		
        somebody has to

Jesus Loves You

Bird song

MIDNIGHT MOON
copyright 2025 Vicki Morrison Goble

VERSE 1
Oh, crystal moon, you rise with grace to rule from starry height
Your silver trail on ocean waves reflects your gentle light
A night breeze whispers through the trees and echoes in my dreams
My waiting, aching heart grows more resilient in your beams

CHORUS
Midnight moon, shine so bright
Your beauty lights the sky
Your silver glow in quiet night
Becomes a lullaby
Midnight moon, sing to me
Midnight moon, sing to me

VERSE 2
No earthly tongue is ever heard among those radiant spheres,
And yet their song at midnight's hour is music for my ears.
They whisper truths of ancient paths, where destinies unfold,
But I am drifting far from shore, my story still untold.

CHORUS
Midnight moon, shine so bright
Your beauty lights the sky
Your silver glow in quiet night
Becomes a lullaby
Midnight moon, sing to me
Midnight moon, sing to me

BRIDGE
Silver glow upon the waves
A hush across the sea
You light a path through silent night
And set my spirit free

CHORUS
Midnight moon, shine so bright
Your beauty lights the sky
Your silver glow in quiet night
Becomes a lullaby
Midnight moon, sing to me
Midnight moon, sing to me

Midnight moon, guide my way
Show me where to go
Sparkling droplets on the waves
Help me find my home
Midnight moon, sing to me
Midnight moon, set me free

Midnight moon, sing to me
Midnight moon, set me free

(Water (Prophecies))

Dorian Urac is inspired by 80s new wave, alternative rock, nostalgic lofi recordings and cheesy outdated music from the 50s and 60s. 

Dorian's first and only gig was in 2007, 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.

I can see that
