Title track of the soundtrack inspired by Paul Kingsnorth's novel, "The Wake". Buccmaster is an Anglo-saxon freeman living in the fens. He's an insufferably proud and opinionated man whose life is disrupted by portents of doom. His world is about to be entirely shattered by the Norman invasion. 

I used a Fender Jazz Bass for the heavy riffing; it works great with modern metal amps. There's a Duesenberg Paloma lead guitar put through a highly unstable metal amp in the mix... you hear it struggling to keep a note at the end - I can't decide whether or not to change it!

Oh Sunshine Day

Oh sunshine day, you fill my heart with joy 
You make the flowers bloom and birds sing 
You bring the warmth and light that I enjoy 
You are the source of life and everything

Oh sunshine day, you chase away the gloom 
You paint the sky with colors bright and fair 
You give me hope and courage to resume 
You are the smile that wipes away despair

Oh sunshine day, you are my truest friend 
You stay with me through good and bad times 
You never fail to cheer me till the end 
You are the melody that fills my rhymes

Oh sunshine day, you are a gift divine 
You are the reason why I feel sublime

Oh Sunshine Day

DO THE CARDS SEEM STACKED TO YOU OR
ARE YOUR LUCKY STARS THE ISSUE
HAVE THE FATES THREE SINGLED OUT
ONE HUMAN FROM THE RACE

YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR THE THROAT
PUSH OUT THE BOAT
AND GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE
YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR BAROQUE
LIFE IS A JOKE
SO GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE

ARE YOU SINKING TO YOUR KNEES OR
WILL YOU NAME THE DAY AND SIEZE
WILL YOU WATCH FRIENDS PASS YOU BY
OR DOMINATE THE RACE

YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR THE THROAT
PUSH OUT THE BOAT
AND GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE
YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR BAROQUE
LIFE IS A JOKE
SO GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE

PUSH OUT THE BOAT
AND GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE
YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR BAROQUE
LIFE IS A JOKE
SO GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE

DOES YOUR LOW-LIFE SEEM KIND OF BLUE OR
DOES IT SUIT THE LIKES OF YOU
IS IT EVERYTHING YOU WANT OR
WOULD YOU LIKE A CHANGE

YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR THE THROAT
PUSH OUT THE BOAT
AND GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE
YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR BAROQUE
LIFE IS A JOKE
SO GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE

YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR BAROQUE
LIFE IS A JOKE
SO GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE

Human architecture. The portrait of your sacred geometric being. Being is perfect in its human essence. this portrait is of my friend Elisa. With love.

They are the portrait of the essence. Telepathic divination to balance and stabilize the human structure in all its beauty. With the blessing of love.

“Decades ago, as a child, I learnt this song “Ave Maria” by listening to my two older sisters sing it.”　An old aunt told me this.

Don't take sides and I'll respect you for it; take sides and I'll treat you with the same contempt I treat anyone with a mob mentality, because mob mentality invariantly betrays an underlying intolerant right-wing mentality!
>
#SUPPORT gathers #MOMENTUM when #RECIPROCATED!
>
My tunes are ten times better than you might imagine!
>
A lack of listens proves nothing, other than the fact that no one is finding your tunes; it does not prove, as some believe, that your tunes must be crap, so don’t ever take such a ridiculous notion on board—on an internet FLOODED with music no listens rarely has anything to do with the quality of your music, your creative talent, is almost always down to the fact that the right audience can’t find your music, because finding it is now as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack!
>
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE, EVERYTHING FOR SOMEONE!
>
For diversity and consistency, I am not hesitant in saying my Soundcloud pages house the most inventive creations on here. There are others making fabulous tunes, but no one is more prolific while maintaining a high standard of pole to pole invention, and that applies to the lyrics too. I won't escape obscurity and oblivion, but that proves nothing, the internet is way, way, WAY overcrowded with unsigned music, way too much mediocre stuff, which obscure anything exceptional out there; the wood hidden away behind lots and lots and LOTS of trees, and no one has the time to look for needles in haystacks, to find a diamond in the rough, it's just way too big a task, not humanely possible!

INVENTIVE, AUTHENTIC, DIVERSE MUSIC, INVENTIVE, AUTHENTIC, IMAGINATIVE LYRICS, but those are the last things the vast majority of listeners are looking for these days!
>
Me, I'm awestruck by musicians who can't be pigeonholed, who don't conform to any borders, who don't think about which direction each new creation will take, they just go wherever that creativity takes them; pure, on the fly, innovation, imperfect but 100% authentic, as far a way from manufactured, recipe book, regurgitation, as it is possible to get, totally unforced, inspirational and way, way, WAY outside the box! There ought to be a place for such creativity, there was at one time, but a mercenary music industry put an end to that, leaving us with a situation where those who deserve the most adoration for the talents receive the least!
>
Will this ever change, will a yearning for TRUE underground, creativity unique to the individual, ever return, or has the spoon-feeding gone to far this time, is its grip so vicelike nothing can break it!
>
I make #INVISIBLE music, perhaps it feels that way to you too!
#Overlooked, #Underrated, Dismissed Without A Listen!
>
When Soundclouders follow me or click like without leaving feedback, what is it they are hoping for? That I come listen to their tunes and heap praise on them, what? I mean really, what is the point of following someone, what is the point of liking one of their tunes, if you don't actual think they are deserving of feedback, if you don't think the tunes are as good as what you do???

EXPLODING THE MYTH THAT UNSIGNED IS UNSIGNED BECAUSE IT’S INFERIOR TO SIGNED MUSIC!

>
UNTIL this MYTH is blown out of the water we don’t have a cat in hells chance of breaking through. #TheMyth  is the BIGGEST obstacle that stands in our way, it is the FIRST hurdle we must get over, it is the message that should be going #VIRAL, it’s down to each & every one of you to make that happen!
>
#ExplodeTheMyth
>
Listening to just one of my tunes tells you nothing about my creative approach, listening to ten of my tunes will still tell you very little, listen to a hundred of my tunes and the penny will start to drop, but it's only after hearing 500+ of my creations and collaborations that your eyes will widen in amazement! 
However, if you don't have unlimited eclectic taste none of that applies, and the reality is, who, in this world, is going to listen to every tune I've created, no one--if even one tune is heard from beginning to end it's a minor miracle, because sadly, there is a belief that unsigned means inferior, but I've heard enough tunes by the rest of you guys to know that's a myth, that's bullshit, we create some of the most inventive, authentic, imaginative tunes out there!
Give me unsigned, independent and underground music over signed, safe, predictable, recipe book, music any day of the week!
>
I MAKE TUNES NO ONE WILL EVER LISTEN TO!
>
Some musicians & music fans don’t want to hear music from the past because they would have to acknowledge IT’S ALL BEEN DONE BEFORE!
>
Finally come to terms with the fact that I'm PLAYING TO AN AUDIENCE OF ONE, and even I have to FORCE myself to listen!!!
>
My music and lyrics are all about different, but if no one listens no one will EVER know! 
#StevenVellou

I CREATE TUNES ON THE FLY; NO FORMULA, NO PLAN, NO DIRECTION; THEY JUST HAPPEN--I'M IGNORANT OF THE RULES INVOLVED IN THE MUSIC MAKING PROCESS, SO I'M NOT BOXED IN BY THEM, WHICH IS WHY THEY ARE SO VARIED AND UNPREDICTABLE!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Meaningful yet tongue-in-cheek tunes that can’t be #PIGEONHOLED!
Great production ISN'T my forte, accomplished musicianship ISN'T my forte but #UndergroundInvention, #InfiniteDimensions & LYRICS are!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Now I don't personally believe I'm in the same league as #Bowie, other than my lyrics, more often than not, making more sense, but I do think I share his ability to adapt to different genres, and his endless, diverse, creativity, just not quite on the same level.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I'm not proficient/accomplished on instruments, & I have other musical limitations, but most genres come natural to me, and I much prefer having that unforced ability to being highly accomplished on instruments, highly polished on production, or having the perfect voice!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
If I didn't feel I had my own approach, if my music was easy to pigeonhole, I would have quit music a long time ago!
Never been about fame & fortune, just about pushing the boundaries without actually intending to push the boundaries; creativity that's second nature not formula! 
Yes, I want to reach an audience but making money from my music means nothing to me!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
NOT saying I’m THE MOST #talented musician on music promotion sites but I will say I’m one of the most #UNDERRATED! Even so, I would much rather be underrated than overrated!
