Out on the waves we sail, lost the way we feel
Drowning in the rum, oh, where's our map, ideal?
Swallowed by the night, stars above show no light
Drunk on bitter truth, our compass lost in plight
Shouting to the sea, curses echo through the air
But the bottles keep us laughing, who says we even care?

We’re the crew of chaos, raising glasses high
Drunk on a dream, but we’re sailing blind
With the winds of fury, hear the storm below
Drowning in our madness, in this cursed show

Lost in the tide, with the echoes of despair
Pirates of the night, we don’t know where we’re there
Metal in our hearts, raging like a flame
Drunk on our legends, we embrace the shame

We’ll find our fate, even if we’re lost at sea
Chasing down the shadows of our next decree

Starlight guides us home, but our eyes are blind
Singing to the dark, leave our ghosts behind
With every drop we swallow, we descend to the pit
Raising hell forever, we’ll never quit

Spirits in the bottle, we toast with a grin
Embracing all the chaos, let the nightmare begin
Darkness is our ally, the storm's our refrain
Take the helm, my brothers, let’s go insane
 
Ingersoll

Lost in Chaos

I was listening back to my band from back in the 90s This Elegant Chaos and thinking this needs to be heard again. 
This was a band that formed quickly from other bands we had all been in previously.
With 90s Britpop/ Indie Alternative Rock still very relevant. I thought these tracks need a fresh outing. 
I would consider this band to be some of my best work to date. 
So I’ve decided to release a track every time I have a space in between current releases. 
This track Dreaming Of Johnny is about a dream I had about meeting John Lennon after he faked his own death to be free from media/ music industry pressure. He was living in Walsall on Sea in the West Midlands in a flat. 
Yes I know it doesn’t make any sense but it’s a dream. Tells the story of meeting him and explaining why he faked his death. 
The band were formed  in 1997 by Simon Bayliss and myself .
Simon a bassist and me a vocalist we had a handful of songs that needed a band of seasoned musicians to bring them alive. I recruited former band members of previous projects Lee Hughes & Rob Adams (guitarists) and Dave Robins (drums). 
Within months the band were recording and playing live with several labels showing an interest. 
Our first deal was with Holier than Thou Records but we left without releasing anything due to financial reasons. 
Our first release was a  7 Track 
EP “Hello Thane” on Quicksilver Records, quickly followed by our  debut album Virtue Circle released on Underground label Music & Elsewhere, which became a best seller for the  label. 
The album was then remastered and re-released back on Quicksilver Records in cd format, re-intitled “Virtue Circle Revisted”, M&E dealing with distribution.
Probably the best work to date was the final album Magino Line also released on Quicksilver Records. Unfortunately Simon had to leave before the second album due to work commitments with Artist Naomi of Gut Records. This lead to ‘Sarge’ Mark Sargent taking over bass duties. 
This Elegant Chaos bowed out in 2001 after the previous years sell out gig at Ronnie Scott’s. It was a wonderful time to be in a band with such talented musicians. 
Early 2020 we were released again on Music & Elsewhere to celebrate the labels 30th anniversary. This was a collection of the labels favourite songs in a download format.
This Elegant Chaos give you ……

Dreaming Of Johnny (This Elegant Chaos ~ Magino Line Album)

V1
Asked a man standing outside a lift
Does a genius live here with a certain gift
He pointed his finger to the very top floor
But saying that I can’t be sure
We was elevated to floor nine
When I knocked it was all out of time
She open the door dressed in lace
I’d finally arrived at Johnny’s place

Chorus 1
Dreaming of Jonny
My friend and me
Dreaming of Jonny
Is this reality

V2
A grubby white room with a yellow table
Just like my mothers, only more stable
You have failed me in your far as dream
As he offered me coffee with cream
I faked my death to be free
But that’s just between you and me
Dreams are sometimes closer than reality
Waking up, reveals the true brutality

Full Chorus 2
Dreaming of Jonny
My friend and me
Dreaming of Jonny
Is this reality
Dreaming of Johnny 
Suburban coastlines
Dreaming of Johnny 
He lives at number 9

Middle 8
Imagine whatever gets you through the night
If it’s instant Karma, then I’m losing you
I am I beautiful boy, playing mind games
Where what why and who

Dreaming of Johnny 
Dreaming of Johnny 

Finish on a full chorus 




Dreaming Of Johnny - This Elegant Chaos

Groovy dark metal with argent style neuro synths

Narcissus

not quite a cover...not quite an original...3 VU songs mashed into one...a sort of Holy Trinity
another homage to my mentor Lou Reed
a song for the forgotten and the misunderstood 
the ones who feel they don't belong
some things never change

From that world as bleak a New York street   
On a shuttered Sunday morning                     
Comes the wistful voice of a tired sister's song 
The past reveals its chosen few
To speak for the forgotten 
A reminder for the ones who don't belong 

She hates the quiet place
She hates the big decisions
Wants to watch the bluebird fly and walk away
Oh every time she makes it straight
It breaks her little heart
Break it baby, I'm only singing what you say

Candy says, I've come to hate my body   
Lisa says, She'll do it with just about anybody 
And Stephanie well,                                    
She's given half her life                              
To people she hates now                            

Forget the huddled masses
It don't matter what they think
Can you hear that sound, it's a shape shift melody
A pain that's pure and multiplying, alive in the hereafter 
Their voices blend, Lou's holy Trinity 

She lives to party
Wants to score some action 
Not afraid of dying, it's the living that scares her straight
They call them queers, queens and addicts
Try to break their little hearts
Break it baby, we're still living it today  

Chorus


BRIDGE  It's so cold in Alaska                  
                We're so far from home             
                Now she's walking                      
                away from herself                       
                Look at her go    
                        
Chorus

Candy, Lisa and Stephanie Says...

When you have found every key and unlocked every secret—When you have embraced your darkness and allowed your light to shine, protected and pure—Then, and only then, can you become one with the universe. And when that union occurs, you will be met by rain. Not ordinary rain, but droplets of cosmic blessing—A sacred downpour from the heart of existence itself.

BORDER PATROL (Melodic Instrumental Heavy Metal)

DreamSphere is a two man studio only Metal band. We produce powerful, catchy, yet melodic and accessible, instrumental Heavy Metal and Hard Rock music. 

We record purely for pleasure, as a leisure activity, but are deeply serious about the music we create. Although some songs do have lyrics, we use multiple lead guitars to take the place of vocal melodies.

Some older songs from Dark Dreams (our pevious moniker) do have vocals added to them, while the Fogg instrumentals are Billy's solo material from before 2003.
