Hell

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

A somewhat schizophrenic track. Starts with a synth house, and then in the middle it turns into deep house. Starring Behringer RD8, Roland s1, Dreadbox Nyx, Oberheim Matrix, Korg EX-8000. And my 7 year old daughter who recently discovered the mic.

Oh Oh Oui

Lost

More Than A Lover

lyrics...


this is how the rich win the war

this is how the rich win the war
       magnifying differences,
    triggering all prejudice
 this is how the rich win the war

this is why you're destined to lose
     content with apologies
     accepting of the way it is
this is why we're destined to lose
    these mind machinations
       way out on a limb
   they' tightening the vice
        my head caves in

this is how the pricks win the war

success will surely destroy you
    there's no other way around it
   you will leave it like you found it
success will certainly kill you
      these mind machinations
        telling me I cannot win
           m' head is in the vice
             still the light gets in

 this is why we're destined to lose

     they will eat you alive
   slowly 'cause they' got no teeth
    it begins on the inside
  'till you're prayin' for release

this is how the rich win the war

This Is How The Rich Win The War

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

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.

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

Thunderclock REMIX II (DJ Chronon)

It was the year 2007 or so, when I looked into the mirror, seeing my own imagery change into that of extravagant rockstar Dorian Urac. That night, I had my first and only gig. It was 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. And no, it wasn't a dream either. They were for real, or at least in their minds they were,) After the gathering, my sensible side decided that Dorian’s true calling was to remain a cozy stay-at-home rock star.

Ever since, my alter ego is inspired by 80s new wave and cheesy outdated music from the 50s and 60s.

So here I find myself, all alone in an all pink, lila, purple, red and blue home recording studio, surrounded by robot toys, kawaii squish mallows, blythe dolls, several guitars, a bass guitar, lots and lots of pedals, drawers full of percussion instruments, a vocal mic, an 88 weighted keys midi keyboard, a few toy synths and last but not least an enormous modulair eurorack synth that covers a huge part of the wall.

Sometimes I wake up at night, pondering whether the whole Dorian Urac experience isn’t just a fragment of a wild imagination, an escape from reality. Most probably it’s all meant to end in oblivion, which is fine by me by the way. After all, isn’t life just a short rollercoaster? Me? I just scream the whole ride and then it’s over.

Now what’s your excuse to be listening to my ramblings?
