Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, Ding, dong

Bells in the air, nobody stares
Built to command, now background noise
Strangers walk by, faster than time
Signals and screens claiming our ears
Ding-dong, ding-dong, echoes prolong
As if they know someone is home
Once they gave names, marked what we claimed
Now they just mark seconds we spend
Ding, dong, ding, dong

Meaning on sale, memory stale
What we did once, we don’t do now
Stories collapse into the cloud
Archived as data, sorted for use
Bells keep their pitch, holding their niche
Not for belief, only for proof
Proof we were here, proof we agreed
Proof we once cared who we would be
Ding-dong, ding-dong, echoes prolong
As if they know someone is home
Once they gave names, marked what we claimed
Now they just mark seconds we spend

Merry on loop, hollow and true
Merry, because someone insists

Bells in the air, nobody cares
Still they persist, steady and bare
Not to remind, not to rewind
Only to ring without a cause
Ding-dong, ding-dong, nothing is wrong
Nothing is fixed. Freedom is that
History mutates, we improvise
We choose the rules after they break

Onward they sound, rootless and proud
Not tied to faith, not tied to place
Calling no home, needing no throne
Simply a tone carried by air
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Future is loose, unknown and new
We build it strange, bold and our own
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Nothing is known, we write the rest
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong

Forgotten Bells (based on "Shchedryk" by Mykola Leontovych)

Third track in a suite of tracks inspired by a walk along a wooded river bank in the summer close to where I live. This track describes where the river flows out of a becalmed area through a series of tumbling rapids before continuing through calmer waters. Enjoy. CD

[Dweldnik]
Today I made new language
While you bitch making sandvich
Past old days I cum on your face
You start to learning Whitespace
You writing code but don't see it
This not obfuscated I mean it
Your favourite keyboard buttons are Tab and Space
You understanding Whitespace

[Bellatrix]
I write to you an email to your job
I want to tell you honey you are suck
You reading my message by thinking what the fuck
You reading now Brainfuck
[Dweldnik] In the kitchen do you got what you ate
This is not ASCII chars this is UTF 8
Two plus two minus one bracket and dot
Good luck dear with brainfuck

Do it

Carpe Diem (Either Way)

Piled-up promises, Jenga tower of sins,
Love triangle? Nah, that’s a dodecahedron,
You’re collecting hearts like Pokémon pins,
Swipe left, swipe right, call it your religion.

Said it’s free love, but I’m paying the toll,
You’re the poly prophet, preaching loopholes.

Mono for the poly, that’s your game,
Trading real bonds for a fake new flame,
Mono for the poly, always the same,
Building your web, but it’s tangled in shame.

Bragging ‘bout the "ethical," but the lies seep,
Spinning plates, but they’re cracked underneath,
Said “Jealousy’s a construct,” but your eyes weep,
Love’s an open field, but you sow deceit.

Who’s the main? Who’s the side? Who’s the ghost in your bed?
You’re a house of cards, tumbling over what’s unsaid,
Call it freedom, but the chains are chrome instead,
Every “I love you” feels posthumous, half-dead.

Mono for the poly, yeah, it’s all a farce,
Cupid’s arrow bent, broke it into shards,
Mono for the poly, tearing apart,
A love Rubik’s Cube with a missing heart.

Mono for the Poly

Christmastime, My Favorite Time

1st track in the Perseverence Series, a kind of light ambient piece

Perseverance 1

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.
