Lyrics:
Epitome

Hey Hey
Sheltered and isolated from the outside world, 
you're obviously bemused by suburban teenaged life.
A knife is what you need to cut away the dilemmas. 
You have got enough to worry about with fitting in and 
moving out into your new life.

You don't care about globalization, deforestation. 
third world nations no

Epitome of society you represent the majority

The time now is golden for seeking the truth and 
exploiting the mass media for attempting to brainwash 
us with their bullshit. Manipulating the flow of information. 
To take control. To grab a hold. To keep your fear intact 
and its working. your mind is somewhere else- 
Consumed by fashion sense, and you could worry less.
You have become an I-dont-care-ican.

Epitome (Original)

A song originally about the black out of the mid 2000's era. Shows our dependence on technology has an inherit weakness. Beautiful things exist all around us in nature and sometimes it takes technological failure to make us realize so.
LYRICS

Candlelight
( Black out reveals the perfect illuminations of nature )

A warm summer night, Mid-August weather. Tis so serene;
The sky is shining brighter than ever for no one to see but me.
The power is out, and all are afraid and stuck inside, 
scared of the dark, but I am not; I'm enamored

Candlelight, fireflies, fairy tale scenery
I wish that, this would last, why am I still alone

I douse my form into the water, it's not so cold I'm ameliorated. 
The public becomes furious, technology is frivolous, 
dependency decreased we're on our own.
If this happened habitually, we'd reflect just temporarily 
and realize the situation's benefits.
I'm the one who assimilated and now I truly see 
what nature means to me.

So here is a nearly complete version, releasing for you on christmas.

An Epic Organic Mystery Mashup
 
The main song is Little talks by Of monsters and Men, and it is sung by mr.eman and kaitlynne.
Other songs include:

Snow (Hey oh)            - Red Hot Chilli Peppers   -  Vocals with Annie and Steph
Save Tonight               - Eagle Eye Cherry   - Vocals with Duane Lauzon
Self Esteem                - The Offspring - Vocals with Marie
Whistle                         - Flo Rida  - Whistled by Mr.Eman and sung by Jackery and Mr.Eman
Whenever, Wherever - Shakira   - Vocals by Ashley
Blue Lips                      - Regina Spektor   - Vocals by a young Izzie
Beer                               - Reel Big Fish   - Vocals by Alan

I don't know what to call this genre to separate it from traditional 'mashups'
I'll take suggestions on the name.

Mashups usually contain altered songs or samples digitally mashed together. 
Sometimes taking the vocals from one track and superimposing it on another tracks musical track. This is different. 
Working from the ground up, all the instruments and vocals were done from scratch, nothing was sampled and the songs on here are being played simultaneously as opposed to  changing throughout the song. 

So I'm calling it an organic mashup for now. 
The music was arranged and initially vocalized by Mr.Eman, but having that many vocal tracks made it very muddy. Once other vocalists were invited to join, the results were magical.

So Mr.Eman found very helpful and talented vocal volunteers. Most of which are not singers by trade or musicians. Just normal people who love to sing. As a result, this is the first time you will hear many of these voices. Mysterious talented people. Hence 'Mystery Mashup"
I will take name suggestions, so throw them my way.

Also, the video is almost done so subscribe on youtube or be a fan on facebook to be the first to see it.
