"He's pompous he's racist
He's talking trash
He's making threats 
That his ass can't cash

He's a fucked up
Money crazed misogynist
Dismisses the people
Like a bitch on The Apprentice..."

Well it's not often that old Elfpants gets political but I sort of got on a roll and went with it. LOL. 

The guitar riff that you heard is actually a sample of the work of guitar-meister Shawn McClure https://soundcloud.com/sealpt as played on the Elfpants track "Princess". But what I did was take a section of it and throw it into Jonatan Liljedahl's amazing app SECTOR. https://www.facebook.com/kymatica.liljedahl/?fref=ts
I love the results...

The rest of this track is just me talking s#!+ about a potential Republican candidate... hope he doesn't send the lawyers after me... I'll be hiding somewhere in Murkwood...

PLEASE follow my https://soundcloud.com/elfpants account to show your support. Thanks for listening!


Elfpants [Level 14] One Def Rhyme (Feat. Shawn McClure)

This is an entry for the Two Track Music forum challenge for August 2016. The challenge was.. pick a previous challenge you liked and submit a new track based on those rules.

The challenge I selected was "Cover a track but make it unique", so this is a cover of The Angel's track "No Secrets" done in the style of me...  ;)

No Secrets

The initial loops were created in Korg Gadget, exported as a project to Ableton Live under Windows 10, chopped a little, vocals and guitar added, and squeezed back into the iPad for some polish using Igor Vasiliev's Audio Mastering app, then pushed here.

My long-suffering jam-mates have endured a few iterations of this prior to it reaching this stage but I decided not to spam our jamming account with it any more :)

The Burb of Baldivis

Idle Hands

Choices

I used to look at my reflection
and be ok with what I saw
now mirrors make me change direction
I can't bear to see them anymore

hair and grease and scaly skin
the cage I move my soul about in
mucus membranes, clogged up pores
scars and fat and grosser flaws

my hide no longer seems to fit me
I am not the shape I was once in
my body seems to work against me
I'm like a stranger in my skin

<shorus>
every day
every day I'm growing
every day
every day I', growing ugly

Help me please I'm fighting my mutation
Help me please I'm trying not to change
Help me stop this awful transformation
Help me stop my body rearrange

Dont make me see myself 
the way that others see me

Growing ugly

Lyrics : Star Fields © Nathan Jon Tillett  2012

Star fields, deep fields,
We crossed the bridge of space and time,
Solar winds scatter our forgotten dreams now dust,
Realities entwine.

Star fields, deep fields,
We left the fabric frayed and torn,
Soaked in the blood of dying stars still screaming light,
A universe reborn.
