Better Not Be Late

It's the month for some dark music! 🎃
The lyrics to this song is a poem that my friend, Keith Dorman had published in 1993 called Commission. When I first read it I thought wow, this is dark! And it stuck with me ever since.
Keith kindly gave me permission to use the poem for a track. 
I blended a pitch shift in with my vocals whilst I recited the poem as I didn't want it to sound like myself as I wanted it to sound more horror movie vibe! 
Anyway, hope you all enjoy a rare vocal performance from myself.


Commission 

I commission you artist 
Paint me a terminal illness
Mixed media make it real
I commission you artist
Paint me worry and emptiness 
I must feel the hurt
I commission you artist 
Paint agony and horrific pain 
Reds and lightning flashes
I commission you artist 
Paint death and stench
Let it make me ill
I commission you artist 
Paint me dead

Lyrics

Eyes are getting heavy.
The breathing's getting slow.
The veil is slowly lifting.
It's time for.
It's time for the show.

Are you all right?
Do you need a doctor?
Can you tell me is it all night
you've been feeling dizzy?
How's your hearing and your eyesight facing your
face, has your head feeling so light?
Tell me, are you alright?

Thoughts are getting vivid, the colors getting blur.
The curtain slowly parting and
consciousness divides.

A second cup of coffee				T + M Otto Scharbau Dez 2020
The world is crazy. I’m also crazy sometimes. People destroy others and themselves. 
A few people decide to make war to kill thousands, millions, soon perhaps the whole world with the power of modern weapons 
What can I do? Becoming depressive? Be paralyzed?

No, I drink my second cup of coffee and look, what is to do in that nice world with nice people, most of them are.
