CLOUDS AND RIPPLES  from Echoes From A Distant Past

Ominous

Electric Séance

NIN

Thanks lads
You're still the bar
Trent at 60
Many more years fill stages far
A forever reference in my head
From heavy to light
Lyrical love brain bed
Some friends don't dig your music but love your words
Proper heresy
Transcendence of blur

Keep it together
We want more Hurt
Yeah Cash took it,
But it's always your worth
This is something I can have
I will find that stage
I got Reznor rasp
You gave me growl and finesse
Closer to God within my chest

Ruiner of my negative side
Head was a hole
Ego tamed from pride
A Warm Place
You fill these moments
Like Buckley Grace
I'm music moulded
Into the Void for all our sakes
Lyrical real washes away the fakes

I bite the hand that feeds us lies
I almost Gave Up
But, still Wish for prize
It's you man
You kept me going
You're amazing music
Keeps BD flowing
Never say never
Churned love from rage
Maybe someday we'll share a stage


Music notes
-Drive in frets 0-6 and get 6 power in there

-Drop D to deliver the heavy

-Chromatic chords movements for a Rage Against the Machine like energy


Instrumentation
-Guitar & Bass heavy for main parts of song

-Piano part, maybe a softer ending and or intro to honour that contrast NIN give us so amazingly

-Eerie synth pads especially at the start bringing in a cool wind filled start making it linked to nature / season

-Set tuning to 444Hz and consider Capo on 2 to get that E 333Hz root which can represent harmony with the Suns average frequency. Also consider finding a drone like deep bass sound with octaves lower of this so we should find that at 166.5Hz @ see if 83.25Hz is usable at all

-consider setting up a synth to create a spiral effect with panning and pitch shifting to honour the Downward Spiral

-Use breaking glass effect to honour The Fragile. Maybe make this a positive flip by using a reversed breaking of glass effect making something that's impossible at least possible in sound. That can be a powerful metaphor

- Add a Machine sound of some kind to honour Pretty hate Machine. Tie this machine sound to the reverse effected glass breaking effect and tie that positivity to the hope we keep machines & technology under a better control collectively

- Maybe consider actually saying Nine Inch Nails in a chorus of some kind. They're amazing influence should be clear and celebrated and help transcend the assumption that NIN music is just noise and negative when the complete opposite is actually true

NIN (Poem ~ Song = Nailed)

Written after a visit to Clisson - the home of HellFest - please not i know this needs a better singer!

Above the Gods

Lyrics

It's a cushty life
Making songs
Where I landed
Most lucky charms
Love is affluent
No foreign bombs
Thanks clear skies
Thanks food filled farms

Let's appreciate what good we can
Let's spread our love and light for Iran
Let's hope and pray now finds better day
Let peace prevail
Make freedom the way

We love you
We are here
We feel some of your fear
We can't understand
Our light can hold your hand
Observational control
May light fill your land

This is Our land
With the light we stand
No sabres sounded on this sand
Just Jedi together
Hand in hand in hand in hand in hand in hand....


Thanks for your good people
We see your pain
If tears could drown deceiptors
Hear an ocean insane
They bomb my chest
Your forever youth
Please Dear Universe heal them with truth

It's for the 1 two three four
It's for do, re, me, fa, so, la, ti more!
It's for more best singing Earth will ever see
It's for today so we hear more of that free

We love you
We are here
Solidarity feels some of your fear
Light holds your hand
Fill your land
Light holds your hand
Fill Iran

This is Our land
With Our light we stand
No sabres sounded on this sand
Just Jedi together
Hand in hand in hand in hand in hand in hand...


🙏🏽

The Light holds your Hand

Mama Too: It's A F** G-Thang

/
“Mama Too: It's A F** G-Thang” is a powerful chronicle of resistance and truth, stitched from authentic, brave voices broadcast on our mighty Instagram story feed. These voices illuminate the spiraling madness and horror we witness daily: the confirmed genocide in Gaza, enabled by western nations that declare themselves democracies but suppress peace, arresting those who protest the massacre of children under new 'anti-terror' laws—most harshly in the UK.

This song stands in solidarity with those fearless enough to speak, to shine a light, to withstand pressure and misunderstanding. Like Mama, we all know—forced to watch, forced to obey, forced into silence—but the truth demands to be heard. “Mama Too: It's A F** G-Thang” is not just a song; it's a tribute to every witness, every protester, every heartbeat refusing to surrender.

Manifesto

We Declare:

    That the suffering in Gaza is not a distant conflict but a wound in the conscience of humanity.

    That silence and political games by so-called Western defenders of democracy are betrayal incarnate.

    That art, music, and truth must tear through walls of apathy, breaking chains with sound and spirit.

    That to remain silent is to support the erasure of life itself.

    That we rise—voices united, hearts aflame—to amplify those crushed under siege, to shatter the walls of oppression.

    That every beat, every echo, every lyric becomes a rebellion against forgetting.

    That through collective awakening, we reclaim not just Gaza’s future but the soul of humanity.

"NOTHING UNDER THE SUN IS NOT PART OF CREATION, NOR IS IT NOT CREATION ITSELF—IT'S ONLY WHAT YOU MAKE IT. NO JUDGES, NO DIVIDES—UNITY."

"NOTHING UNDER THE SUN IS NOT PART OF CREATION, NOR IS IT NOT CREATION ITSELF—IT'S ONLY WHAT YOU MAKE IT. NO JUDGES, NO DIVIDES—UNITY."

1. Philosophical and Metaphysical Context

This phrase operates on a profound metaphysical premise rooted in ancient and modern spiritual thought: the idea that everything within existence ("under the sun") is inherently part of creation, yet simultaneously defies a simple binary of "creation" and "non-creation." The double negation — “is not not part” and “is not not creation” — serves as a dialectical device emphasizing paradox rather than straightforward affirmation or denial.

Nothing exists outside creation’s domain. All that "is" is both a part and a reflection of the creative whole — but perhaps creation is not a static “thing.”

It touches on panentheism or even non-dualism, suggesting creation transcends our binary modes of thought.

In this sense, the phrase challenges rigid ontologies. It rejects compartmentalization — what we consider ‘created’ vs. ‘uncreated’ is a false dichotomy.

2. Existential and Constructivist Overtones

The clause “It’s only what you make it” signifies a turn from metaphysical absolutes to personal agency and interpretation.

Creation is not a fixed category but a creative, subjective, and participatory process.

Reality is texturized by human meaning-making — your perception, actions, and judgments shape what ‘is.’

This brings in vibes of existentialism and constructivism, affirming our power and responsibility in shaping the world and imbuing it with meaning.

3. The Ethics of Judgment and Division

“No judges, no divides” strikes a moral and social chord:

It calls for radical acceptance — no external or internal authority imposes judgment.

It opposes division, sectarianism, or exclusion based on arbitrary or prejudiced distinctions.
This has echoes of universalist humanism and inclusive ethics, a plea for unity beyond fractured identities, labels, or separations.

4. Final Summation: Unity as a Creational Ethos

The closing refrain “UNITY” serves as the conceptual apex:
Unity is not merely a formal condition but an existential and creational ethos, holding the paradoxical unity of all existence despite apparent differences or judgments.
It is a call to embrace multiplicity without fragmentation — wholeness that contains diversity.

Style and Rhetoric

Paradox and Double Negatives: The use of double negatives (“not not”) is daring and poetic, evoking the style of Zen koans or 
Hegelian dialectics — prompting reflection rather than offering a direct statement. It challenges the reader to dwell in ambiguity and complexity.

Capitalization and Punctuation: The em dash creates dramatic pauses, underscoring the key thematic shifts; the capitalized “UNITY” acts as a powerful, summative slogan or mantra.

Economy of Words: Despite its complexity, the phrase remains succinct, poetic, and emphatic—a hallmark of impactful philosophical proclamations.

Cultural & Literary Resonances

Biblical Allusions: “Under the sun” recalls the Book of Ecclesiastes, with its contemplations on the nature of existence. This embeds the phrase within a long tradition of existential inquiry.

Contemporary Spirituality: The phrase resonates with New Age and postmodern spiritual ideas emphasizing non-duality, co-creation, and global unity.

Political and Social Dimensions: In a world segmented by ideologies and conflicts, “no judges, no divides” can serve as a subtle political manifesto for peace and acceptance.
