Skywalker

Event Horizon

it all starts with a click
gasoline ingestion to balance my condition
this shit refines my intuition
three steps back, then dive into collision

it goes on with a beep
this producer, once a consumer,  crafts with technology
combined with handwriting,  ancient technique
rise against those who claim superiority 

I'll let the whole world debate while I innovate
but stop posting every meal you ate (wake up mate)
Who judges what's art? Oh Lord, I fall apart
Corporations teaching us how it should be done
You empowered us too much, now we are gone

They try to guard their throne
so all their money ain't gone
I try to match my thoughts to some beats
and I’ll be glad when it clicks and hits

Better be ready, every minute we duplicate
Wait, who’s that? It’s DJ Culebers launching his attack
Making your awarded tunes sound whack
got the Crowd talking.... bring him back!

Better be ready, every minute we duplicate
Wait, who’s that? It’s DJ Culebers launching his attack
Making your awarded tunes sound whack
got the Crowd talking.... bring him back!

Unexpected DJ turned out to be the best, doesn’t matter anymore, 
East or west, no latitude is safe from my quest
Wanna feel good? Be my guest
Writing history with words from my chest

Involve powerful lawyers
Cover them with gold so they join your side
But when they get caught in my tide
They’ll feel they are all wrong and switch sides

Better be ready, every minute we duplicate
Wait, who’s that? It’s DJ Culebers launching his attack
Making your awarded tunes sound whack
got the Crowd talking.... bring him back!

Better be ready, every minute we duplicate
Wait, who’s that? It’s DJ Culebers launching his attack
Making your awarded tunes sound whack
got the Crowd talking.... bring him back!

It’s not about you and me, it’s way bigger
This is about the beat, a force you can’t trick
So leave me alone, feel free to move your feet
Unlike you, I am charging no fee

Unleashed AI’s full force to show what I’m capable of
Not asking for your respect, just telling you what’s next
Speeding in the fast lane, step aside so you don’t get hurt
Sit back, open your mind and relax, or I’ll knock you off track
It’s about time we solve this mess—yes!

Better be ready, every minute we duplicate
Wait, who’s that? It’s DJ Culebers launching his attack
Making your awarded tunes sound whack
got the Crowd talking.... bring him back!

Better be ready, every minute we duplicate
Wait, who’s that? It’s DJ Culebers launching his attack
Making your awarded tunes sound whack
got the Crowd talking.... bring him back!


Better be ready

TAKE ME HOME TO HEAVEN
OR GIVE ME MY TRUE DREAM REALITY LIFE
by Brent James Schoning

Take Me Home to Heaven or Give Me My True Dream Reality Life is an album born from longing—the honest, human desire to belong somewhere that feels safe, meaningful, and real. It is not a demand, not a prayer for escape, and not a declaration of entitlement. It is a question asked through music: What does home truly mean, and how do we recognize it when we feel it?

At its heart, this album explores “heaven” as a state of coherence, not a distant place. Heaven here represents moments of peace, clarity, love, and purpose—those rare intervals when life feels aligned and the inner noise quiets. The “true dream reality life” is not fantasy, but the version of existence where creativity, dignity, and connection are allowed to flourish without constant resistance.

This album lives in the space between exhaustion and hope. It acknowledges the weight of effort, the feeling of being out of place, and the deep wish for relief—not through disappearance, but through arrival. The music does not deny struggle; it holds it gently, allowing it to soften rather than harden.

Sonically, the album is expansive, emotional, and cinematic. Warm pads and evolving textures create a sense of open sky and distant horizons. Melodies rise slowly, carrying vulnerability without collapse. Rhythms are measured and steady, grounding the listener while leaving room to breathe. Basslines provide reassurance rather than pressure, like a steady hand guiding you forward.

The album unfolds like a journey inward. Early tracks carry yearning—spacious, reflective, and tender. There is a sense of searching, of calling out into the unknown. Mid-album compositions introduce movement and structure, suggesting choice and intention returning to the body. Later tracks open into luminous soundscapes that feel resolved without finality. This is not an ending—it is a resting place.

Production throughout the album emphasizes softness, depth, and space. Silence is used as comfort rather than absence. Transitions are fluid, reinforcing the idea that home is not reached through force, but through gradual alignment. Nothing shocks. Nothing rushes. The music trusts the listener to arrive in their own time.

Symbolically, Take Me Home to Heaven or Give Me My True Dream Reality Life speaks to the universal need for belonging. It reframes “home” as an inner condition created through honesty, self-respect, and connection. The album suggests that when reality feels hostile or unreal, the task is not to disappear—but to reclaim authorship of one’s life, one breath, one moment at a time.

There is tenderness in this work. It allows vulnerability without collapsing into despair. It allows hope without denying complexity. The music stands beside the listener rather than pulling them somewhere else. It does not promise salvation. It offers companionship.

This album adapts to moments of quiet listening, reflection, night-time contemplation, or emotional processing. It is music for those who are tired of pretending they are fine, and ready to feel what is true without judgment.

Take Me Home to Heaven or Give Me My True Dream Reality Life does not ask for miracles.
It asks for alignment.

Music as refuge.
Music as truth.
Music as a place to rest and remember who you are.

This is not an escape.
It is a return—
to feeling,
to presence,
to the possibility that home is something we build
by staying.

Take A Look (At Yourself) [feat. Roy Ayers]
