“The return of the mystics for the awakening of human consciousness”.

“Even times of oppression are worthy of respect, for they are the work, not of men, but of humanity, and therefore of creative nature, which can be harsh, but is never absurd. If the times we live in are harsh, we have the duty to love it even more, to penetrate it with our love, until we have removed the enormous mountains that hide the light beyond them”. (Walter Rathenau)

Wow, this is it, the final song I will be posting for the untitled album Stricknice, Bitzone, Wou-Wou & the Wormling and I have been working on! We posted the first song, “Ghosting Out,” from this set on January 4, 2021. I started this set of 12 songs in 2020, during the pandemic, using demo tracks that Wou-Wou graciously allowed me to use. I can’t, yet totally can, believe that it took 5 years to finish and finally post all the songs. I am still not sure if all 12 songs will be included in the album since the total run time is about 43 minutes and I like albums to be a little closer to 30 minutes. We still also need to decide on the track sequence. Eventually the album will be posted the album on Bandcamp for free. 

I have written it many times before and I will write it again, it has been an immense pleasure and honor and blast to work with Sticknice, Bitzone, and Wou-Wou on this set of songs. I feel so lucky to have had this opportunity.

Lyrics:

I don’t wanna have to do this
But I would be terribly remiss
If I just pretended to shoot and miss 
Maybe I could find somebody nobody’ll reminisce 
Maybe I could find somebody deserving the abyss 
The kiss of deaths sweet lips 
The heat of cold bullets
Rationally tearing you from the grips 
Of life meaningless in this soulless culture gone amiss 
I’ve been hunting these woods since my childhood 
Living as any self respecting and god fearing man should
sovereign and secured in responsibility for one’s own livelihood  
The devil wants you to believe in falsehoods 
and city life leads to no good
The heathens all had me misunderstood 
I wouldn’t want to be with them if I could

It feels like its been me and the bird forever now 
And i can’t allow myself to let him down 
I have him in my sight 
But there is two of ‘em 
Damn it 
What am I going to do with ‘em 
I’m going to have shoot both of ‘em 
I can’t leave a witness
Gotta move with swiftness 
At least this 
male’s a total stud 
and bird will pleased 
As he falls with a thud as his chest spews out blood 
and soil turns to mud
This is the right thing to do, isn’t it
After all I made an agreement 
I can’t permit 
Bird to throw a fit
or It’ll be me my head 
that sits on that wall 
And I really wouldn’t want him to leave me 
and be alone again

The Shrike Pt. 4

Warm Heart

[Verse 1]
Outside, the first snow is falling,
Warm light in every window,
People hurry back and forth,
The scent of hot tea,
A sparkle in their eyes,
Giving love to one another,
It pulls me further, always further, I am searching for you.

[Chorus]
Everyone finds their way,
I find my way to you,
Because you warm my heart again and again,
Warm it, only you warm my heart.

[Verse 2]
Outside, the first snow is falling,
I stand here inside, in front of you,
The sparkle in your eyes,
And all the love that you give me.

[Chorus]
Everyone finds their way,
I find my way to you,
Because you warm my heart again and again,
Warm it, only you warm my heart.

Warmes Herz

The Days w/David Wayne Hardy

Inspired by Maurice Ravel's Gaspard de la nuit No.3 - Scarbo, a vision of a truly horrific malevolent gnome opens before our eyes.   Gasping for our very breath, struggling to free ourselves from this vision of pending doom !

Neither a Layman nor a Monk

GENRES: Easy Listening | Electronic | Experimental

INSTRUMENTS: Keyboards | Synthesizers | Guitars | Vocals.

Born in São Paulo, Brazil, Evandro B. Lira, also known as “Vintage Mutation”, has been a musical explorer since he was nine years old, when he started his first music studies.
In 1990, he became a trombone player, participating in “jam session” meetings and joining with some gospels orchestras. In 1996 he began his studies in synthesizer keyboards, suffering the influence of the electric guitar since 1998, when he started composing his first songs.
Active researcher on the relationship between music and mysticism, revives his experiences since 2016, expanding his sounds from synthesizers and guitars, in order to rescue all the classic and “vintage” atmosphere, for consequent transmutation into contemporary tendencies.
