Ship on the Horizon

Inka binka ball of 
Ink is in the water 
There’s got to be a ship on the horizon

Cause here on the island 
It’s cold and it’s violent 
There’s got to be a ship on the horizon

The children they say it 
In their rhyme games they play it 
There’s got to be a ship on the horizon

Mother nature’s got the ocean 
Put on your boots you’ve got the notion 
To splash in the rain 
I know you want to
Jump in every puddle of water

Tsunami is brewing 
It could be our ruin 
Don’t let it sink that ship on the horizon 
Look up in the sky now 
Children learn to fly now 
You can up and fly right off this island 
Inka binka ball of ink is in the water 
There’s got to be a ship on the horizon

Mother nature’s got the ocean 
Put on your boots you’ve got the notion 
To splash in the rain 
I know you want to
Jump in every puddle of water

Inka binka ball of ink is in the water 
There’s got to be a ship on the horizon

Ship on the Horizon

Harpsichord On A Box Spring

And this is the strings version, "Wait for Me (Strings)", of my piano composition "Wait for Me (Piano)", https://soundcloud.com/alexander-mihailov-96713983/wait-for-me-piano, in my work-in-progress album "Again" (2025). The track was composed spontaneously in GarageBand iOS in the late evening of 7 February 2025 and arranged, mixed and recorded in Logic Pro on 8 February 2024. There is also a synths version, "Wait for Me (Synths)", https://soundcloud.com/alexander-mihailov-96713983/wait-for-me-synths. The strings version was released here on SoundCloud in the evening (in Europe) of 26 February 2025.

The artwork cover for the album and all tracks in it uses a photo of mine of 1 June 2024 I cropped and annotated in Mac OS Preview on 2 June 2024 and again on 15 February 2025 (to change the year of the - expected - album release from 2024 to 2025).

Duration: 2:03 minutes
Tempo: 100 bpm
Time Signature: 4/4
Key Signature: C

Digital instruments used, in the order of composing and recording:

1. Orchestral - Strings - Strings Ensemble

Wait for Me (Strings)

File Updated: Added What I be (Michael Franti) section and It's a Fine Day (Opus 3) section. Emphasised the Carly Simon and NIN samples too better. One clear vocal line starting to emerge now


An important note:
This could obviously be considered suggestive.
I am strongly against the intense sexualisation we see in society. However I find it annoying that you need to tip toe around that when coming at it from from an honest non suggestive point of view like I am. Limiting art for the wrong reasons is not evolution and limits the thinking of younger people...

Taking that power back! My only intention in this song is to project and maybe even protect the funk! So I stand by it and I don't mean to offend anyone. Cancel culture only gets fixed when we have proper conversations about hard topics and suggestiveness can be both positively and negatively poignant for us I suppose...

If after reading this your still offended... Have another listen... Your life needs more funk imo... 

I have two daughters and one son. 9, 4 & 6.. Rising above the bullshit vein sexualisation of humanity will be their ticket and I'll help them flap those wings with songs like this. What does it achieve..? Enjoying words and ideas for what they are in the real world...  I'm hoping I'm transcending sexualisation with my intention and they'll be taught that when the time is right. What other adults make of this is none of my business...

If you read the words there is my non sexual intention in every single idea...

This is a very important thing society needs to learn for me. More widespread critical thinking. This train of thought reminds me of the Columbine shooting where so many young souls lost their lives needlessly. Most powerful circles blamed Marylyn Manson and other perceived brands of fear. Lyrically, when you read him, this couldn't be further from the truth .. Power circles with bias motives will always blame whoever they can creating cancel culture. We don't have to eat at their table though


Songs to consider for this:
-Cant touch this - MC Hammer
-Ice Ice Baby - Vanilla Ice
-Michael Franti ~ What I be
-Its a fine Day ~ Olive
-Blackbird ~ Song without Words (pitch shifted)
-Ocean between the Waves - The War on Drugs


Mashup of my collaboration with Oj22, Summer Ball / No, You Don't by NIN & You're so Vain by Carly Simon. Kudos to Super Acid Sunshine for that idea! This was in his mind for our project, The Sith and thats why i thought of it today ~ Will fix the prominence of the other two ideas just need to let it simmer for a bit and will bring them to the foreground nicely...
need to record the 'you're so vain' bit better and then should find one lead vocal to knit it all throughout... Very happy with this result so far



Adjust below funk me's to mention all the artists that end up in it and give them a relevant rhyme and shout out

Provocative because sexualistion is a problem for humanity! But for Carl and the family... It's deep thought 

Funk me
Funk me

Funk me free

Summer Ball (Medley Mashup: NIN/Carly Simon/Opus 3/Michael Franti)

Back with Observers rule the Sun. I'll zip it for this one The Song can do the spouting and I'll just observe... haha mostly.. Decided to go with 3 acoustic arrangement, live mic for each on a seperate run and just sang while doing them so it's vox/acoustic x 3

Human time again. I think I'll make a rule for this song.... never play it with exact time. Only what comes out. Ruling that time. Ruling that sun. Love and Light to everyone 🔆

Lyrics

'Seed to simplify
Need to sense sight
Food for prescience
Moods from heavens
Beeds had roses in flames
Deeds from men insane
Creeds of confusion reigned
Cede it to never again

Feed my control
Knead self and soul
Knurl your metal mind
Unfurl your very kind
Know one inner you
Go control no two
This onness can become
When observers rule the sun

So on this Earth, We give birth
We found our worth
So on this Earth, We give birth
We found our worth

Read, to simplify
Sieze your sense of sight
In clues for prescience
Foods from heavens
Seeds have roses with names
Beeds from humans sane
Creed dissillusion saved
Ceded to never again

Feed my control
Knead self and soul
Knurl your metal mind
Unfurl your very kind
Know one inner you
Go control no two
This onness can become
When observers rule the sun

One cannot stare naked eye
In heart, cry explain cry
I'm told our sun enrols
All backbone of our soul
Some change or well be gone
Observers cannot be wrong



Knead: Work together with your hands. Mix

Knurl: Imprint a pattern on metal for a grip etc. So I mean a grip on your mind

Observers rule the Sun

Lyrics

"Why Why Why Mr Anderson,
Why do you get up?"

Is this the matrix?
Sure seems perfect
Who's the Merovingian?

Strung up by cortex
Real gone vortex
Not yet more intelligence
So are we alone?

Ok, see our radio waves
Small circle since their time invade
Not many stars out run...
In the sim?
Your alone!


But it's all so perfect
Overlord leisure?
An old AI's space treasure?
Well, sounds like we came together

Strung up by cortex
Real gone vortex
No oracle
No oracle

So what's morphing us?
Is it the trinity touch?
All Neos burst
Saying, I'll save me first

Strung up by cortex
Real gone vortex
My oracle
My oracle

So what's morphing us?
Is it the trinity touch?
All Neos burst
Saying, I'll save me first

So, I'm gonna to save me first

Ahhhh, space treasure 🌍


Looking at whether or not we are in a simulation!

Ok so here we have a tune about whether I believe or not that we live in a simulation. For the record I don't... I believe this is the beautiful reality the majority of humans believe and have believed we live in. The actual Universe and it's way better then any matrix!

The song is matrix themed as that for me paints the most amazing picture of this imagined reality! Oh speaking of reality. Meet Professor Richard Dawkins https://youtube.com/@poetryofreality?si=irmH9O6mNT57zlNX If you want a good solid taste of a beautiful reality... I'd suggest you subscribe and after watching him you'll be thanking you're existence he exists! He's lining up a good few ducks!
Also...A Short History of Nearly Everything https://g.co/kgs/bY1rdCE In my opinion the best book a human has produced yet on Earth. Bill Bryson makes an hilarious shot at reality here...

The universe is so damn nuts we will probably be able to build a matrix soon for the Merovingians of the world that want to be there...

Note... Something which I think is very significant to thinking about all this properly is what has happened human radio signals since they were first switched on. The 23rd of December 1900. So since then those waves and subsequent broadcasts have been travelling away from us at the speed of light. Today those first ones have traveled 687 trillion kilometers... The Milky Way, Our Galaxy is 950,000 trillion kilometers wide. So we really have broadcast ourselves to a speck of a speck of space so of course we haven't found other life yet. This I believe is a central argument to simulation theory advocates... 'Where are the aliens then?'.... They're further out that's all I think... Or my guess is there are already beings around us which we are not advanced enough yet to interact with.... But that's just a hunch. I also believe they respect the workings of whole systems and will await our advancement to enjoy the universe with us... For this reason I don't believe any super intelligent entity like that would want to control us. They would want us to evolve and make the whole Universe a more evolved and balanced one...

I'm my opinion if you believe this reality is a false reality then your mind is stuck in a conspiracy! Think critically & honestly to yourself. It's the only shot we have at explaining what on Earth we see.


If you do believe it... sure you might be right. if it's made properly your never meant to find out. So why then not try and discover the other scenario better and forget being lost trying to escape reality in the unknowable realms. The real scenario is where you can actually do what you like and it's way more fun.

In the future lots of the unknowable stuff will become knowable and we will evolve with that new intelligence. For now we all have to just.keep the head down and keep asking questions. Proper questions  🎧🎶🌿🧘🏻

In the Sim

File Update 3: Added Electric guitar

File Update 2: Added cello and viola sections throughout

File Update 1: Bass / Piano and more solid vocal delivery in... Its just spinning plates


Money really is the route of our evil. In this song I made a nice connection with Earth having never really had anything to do with money. It doesn't give a shit what we do but it will cycle and change to rebalance based on what we do...

Money is really the poison of our spirits. Or at least because it's so attached to materialism then way too many of us wake up and go asleep and in-between.. just work for money...

We've created this amazing. tool called AI which we are being sold as making our lives better.. ok how? There's enough money in the world to feed everyone... we now have this amazing AI to do all that work... So where's the lifestyle shift coming from towards the greater good. It's bullshit because the top 1% of the capitalistic shit heap will benefit from AI and people won't unless we demand that. Meanwhile most get tunnel visioned programming it with LLMs making it easier for that top 1% to manipulate the situation...


Where are people doing whatever they want more with their own lives... Not seeing enough of it yet but I'm hoping we get there... Like poisonous ideas latch on quickly... Positive ones should too when enough people latch onto them and project that. We learn empathy from each other according to emotional intelligence experts so maybe we have to stop projecting how fucked the world is and start amplifying the little bits of light that make it amazing and give us a future ♻️

I have written mostly celtic-Christian music for my stage production, Monarchess. Irish music melts my heart, but I also write pop, country and R&B. I am a graduate of Belmont U in Nashville (1991), so I have an appreciation of all genres from all decades of commercial music.
