Bygone times,

Was humanity happier? Was freedom for all greater? Has the human imagination and ability to formulate stories, and perhaps actual experiences,  in stone, paintings, orally and on parchment and paper in the form of fairy tales, religions, etc. been more important to humanity, than actual life.

It can often be experienced as if we rather live on the hope of the future, a vague image of something that does not exist yet, because we heard from someone or read somewhere that it is better there, and at the same time we have a very hard time remembering our history , if you go further back than yesterday, or possibly last week.
Yes, man and his way of thinking, is a paradox of confusion and contradictions, in his throws between now...before...and then.

Armageddon

Humanity, of course, could not refrain from...pressing the red button. A button press that created the endless emptiness and silence from a cracked shell, of a formerly wonderful planet, but now, cold and desolate, floating in pieces without contact, never more able to harbor life.

For whom and for what, is that thought even worth thinking? What is the profit? And who will be able to enjoy it?

The human body made it through a few hundred thousand years, but the brain did not make it. It collapsed from too much stress and impact, and then promptly reverted to more lizard-like control.

What did humanity do that went so wrong? Could we have done it another way? Was it inevitable.....or is it an inborn error in our brain, and in the way it developed.....or under developed?.....Hmmmmmm......

Bygone times & Armageddon - Dan-DT, David D, Peter & Seagull

What does a parent, or grandparents say or sing to their children, or grandchildren if any kind of armageddon is here? And how many times have these sentiments been sung, historically and in the present.

Is it comfort..... loss and sadness........ anger....... or does it just describe an endless emptiness, over humanity's inability......

This song flowed out of me at the end of corona pandemic, and then went into hibernation, for some reason. And I apologize, I didn't even write down the lyric, it just came in a moment of inspiration, or was it despair?...... But I think you understand the spirit of the song anyway.

And maybe it is now relevant again with new possible diseases spreading. Bird flu, foot and mouth disease in cattle, measles, ebola, and all the microplastics and other toxic components they now acknowledge are in our food and our bodies, and even in the unborn.....and so many more in different parts of the world.........Hmmmmm........

Hush little baby - Seagull

Someone pushes the red button.........and now there are more of them in other places pushing their red button.....

In our skies fly a handful of intercontinental robots....carrying nuclear warheads.......

What does man feel in this moment of stillness and silence, before hell breaks loose around us in an exterminating firestorm.......

Armageddon - Seagull

....and then.... when we were young, we couldn't wait for the future / tomorrow... and now....when we get old, we yearn for the past / yesterday.....Hmmmm

Echoes from Another Dimension

Here I’m found, chained and bound
The remnants of my brain locked down
Incarcerated in some other past
Sphere me the choking ancient dust
Legacy of yesterday’s misplaced trust
In the future’s solemn requiem mass.

Draped in history’s mourning shroud
Entombed amidst the senile crowd
I lie withered of the arcane mind
Scream muffled cries for times of change
The unfamiliar, the sweetly strange
Oh won’t you please cut the chains that bind.

Cut the chains that bind…..

Cut the chains that bind…..

So,
Preach not your creed of mystery, nor glance amiss
I have no need of ancient history’s palliative kiss
As time itself might well unwind to finally, my future find

Your cataracted eyes now rendered lame
Caress what lies behind your crooked smile of yesterday’s shame
The causal tracts repeated of lunatic plots once more aligned

Through lessons now deleted by insanity’s ever-forgetful kind
Will surely help me cut the chains that bind

Cut the chains that bind…..

Echoes From Another Dimension - Dan-DT, Peter & Seagull

There was a country, there was a city, and there was a people, who were widely known for their wealth and powerful gods. But they angered their gods with their bad behavior, so the gods decided to wipe them off the face of the earth.
Yes, the story of Atlantis has many interpretations, just like this musical interpretation of what happened on that fateful day. To this day, there are many who believe that Atlantis actually existed in our world, but no one has been able to prove it with certainty.

What do you think? Did it really exist, or is it just a moral tale?
Regardless, the fairy tale is a story that gets the imagination flowing, and we hope this little piece gets your imagination flowing too.

We suffer no shortage of terrible and terrifying events for humanity, whether it is our earth that produces them, or that human souls have created and continue to create them in their dismal imperfection.

We who have pondered, talked and created are;

Atlantis - Dan-DT, David D & Seagull

....and when the seas, rivers and rapids of life have calmed down, and flow peacefully again.....for an undefined period of time.....has humanity then learned something from the tribulations they have just gone through......unfortunately, I don't think so, it will probably just be a repetition of all the previous mistakes and atrocities again........or......Hmmm

Return, Feel, to live...

Never To Return (G. Di Nunno)

Alone with my thoughts, some quite nostalgic
Remembered as real, imagined, static
A deep desire to return
Relive the past, repair the worst
Find out where wrong turns were made
All for naught they quickly fade.

Never to return
I've had my fun
What's done is done
All who and what I am
Never return
The unknown waits
Approach its gates
All who and what I'll be

The music from my deepest past
Reaches for my heart at last
The loves I've lost; the loves I've found
Flying high, then hit the ground
Wherever went the long lost friends
Through the doors without an end
A looking back the best was done
Years remain and fast they'll run. 

As senses return, places familiar
Arise and erase what feels peculiar
And get myself on solid ground
Farewell the past once lived now gone
Light a candle, wait for me
Dropped the burdens now I breathe

Repeat the chorus "Never to return..."
