Have you ever been A'Murkin?

You presume to know the will of some collective fiction
So you don't care who you smite.
Your god gives you the right.

So righteous in your fear and hate,
You justify your vain hypocrisies, atrocities.
It brings me to my knees to cry, "My God!"

All opinions threatening your universal truth 
must be wiped out.
And all souls, if there's such a thing,
Condemn themselves by questioning and doubt.
And no one will be safe 
from the salvation of the one you claim to be
My God.

Nothing makes your being supreme
Or convinces me of consciousness that moves totality
Like someone behind the scenes.
And those who don't believe as you
Shall perish by the sword.
So spake your Lord.
For your reward,
To your faith you are a whore,
To cry, "My God!"

Another ukulele original song, and this one's even SADDER :).

I just downloaded the free trial of Reaper, I'm trying to learn the basics. This is the first track I've ever edited! So it should be better quality than usual.

This song's about feeling depressed, knowing you'll be fine, but not being able to push the feeling away.

I thought it would be a fun little challenge to write a song about a road I pass a lot but have never had a reason to drive through.

I originally posted a poorly recorded and played version of this song to the February Album Writing Month forums, when Ciaran who I had worked with on our song Nothing Implied (https://soundcloud.com/user-251265850/nothing-implied?in=user-81851568/sets/february-album-writing-month) reached out and offered to make a full band version. I cannot express how great he was to work with and how happy I am with the result! Please check out Ciaran's other music, he is extremely talented!

Jamming on a slower version of the changes to Coltrane's Countdown.
