Talking heads meets Roger Waters...I love the dark intellectual appeal.  Beautifully executed!

This is really cool. Love the vocals and synths are sick. Great work!

your voice sounds kind of like AWOL ONE! Are you awolrus one?? ;o laugh loud. a super fascinating track. it has a lot of elements that remind me of my youth: idm, hip-hop, roger waters and talking heads... i threw in the last two to tie in with the other commentator! :)

Great vocal - love the bass line here, and everything in this mix, just went into that spoken bit with a different vocal, that was cool! Really nice track.

cool sound. Vibes are clean and smooth my brother.

Always something unique and unexpected in your music. Love these recent exploratory 'collages', full of richly textured layers.

Excellent groove. Got your unique feel to it

Fun with some found sounds and a beatnik poetry clip from the movie "High School Confidential" 

Lyrics:
You're inside my head
With those things that you said
Throwing smoke bombs in the stairwell
Hand grenades in the bed
And you've brought
Cigarettes, kindling, and gasoline
You've got me looking all over the neighborhood
I'm checking my phone 300 times a day
You'll come over
But you'll never stay

Chorus:
Baby, please give me the keys
Release me from this firetrap
Give me the keys
Release me from this firetrap

The oxygen is down on the floor
It keeps me on my knees
3000 degrees
(Chorus)

When did you discover that you were such a magnificent liar?
Is it when you were young?
Look them in the eye
And send them on their way
I head out to bars
To see some friends
But, I can't have any fun
Feeling the fahrenheit 
(That's tight)
And the kerosine nights
And the footlights
And the magic that you do
While you're in my head
With kindling and gasoline
I beg you, baby
Please, give me the keys
Won't you release me from this firetrap
Release me from this firetrap

Firetrap

Have a listen to my album "Curiosities Of Outsider Art" (Sept 2025). Quirky and interesting tunes.
Thank you for listening!

I try to write with rich lyrical details and self-deprecating humor about the human condition. Plus, that unique Shade Structure sound!  It sounds best with headphones. Thanks for any comments, reposts or likes.
