love the buildup and the fx´s, addicted haunting melody.

This is f-n incredible! Wonderful damn percussive elements -- and OH SO dark. Luv it!

Here the track really takes off. You have so many intricate chapters in each song.

come take My hand
You should know Me
I've always been in Your mind
You know I will be kind
I'll be guiding You

building Your dream
has to start now
there's no other road to take
You won't make a mistake
I'll be guiding You

-

Ya have to believe We are magic
nothing can stand in Our way
have to believe We are magic
don't let Your aim ever stray

and if all Your hopes survive
destiny will arrive

and bring all Your dreams alive
for You

-

from where I stand
You are home free
the planets align -- it's so rare
there's promise in the air
and I'm guiding You

through every turn
I'll be near You
I'll come every time You call
I'll catch You when Ya fall
I'll be guiding You

-

Ya have to believe We are magic
nothing can stand in Our way
have to believe We are magic
don't let Your aim ever stray

and if all Your hopes survive
destiny will arrive

and bring all Your dreams alive
for You

and bring all Your dreams to life
for You

Lyrics:

New World Order knows what's best for you
YouTube feed knows what you need
Shares and Likes the new worlds currency 
Did you figure it out? That It all means nothing!!

I never thought the world would ever end!!
Now machines decide what's on my mind!!

New vaccines made from spiked protein
Ministry of Truth decides what's real
Mask mandates keep your family safe
Did you figure it out? You all mean nothing!!

I never thought the world would ever end!!
Now machines decide what's on my mind!!
I never thought the world would ever end!!
Now machines decide what's on my mind!!

WE USED FEAR TO CONTROL THE WORLD
WE USED FEAR TO CONTROL THE WORLD
WE USED FEAR TO CONTROL YOUR WORLD
WE USED FEAR TO CONTROL YOUR WORLD

WE USED FEAR TO CONTROL OUR WORLD!!

At Worlds End

"Nightmarish Monotony [Yer Rare]" - Michael Ash Sharbaugh with MTWD [feat. Carlos Carty]

Une reprise d'une magnifique chanson de Dominique A sur cette période et ce(s) groupe(s) que nombre d'entre nous ont tellement admiré.
A cover of a beautiful song by Dominique A, about this time, the early 80s and the years that followed and this band that many of us  loved and admired so much

Nationale 137 
Juste une "deux voies"
Cent bornes assassines, de nuit
Les années '80
Pour qui s'en souvient
Deux villes se tournaient le dos 
Et Nantes était à la traîne
Parce que Rennes avait cette voix
La hissant sur un piédestal

Philippe Pascal 
Et ce son insensé
Anguleux, élancé
Cette élégance raide
Et comment espérer relever ce gant là
Quand la duchesse dormait entre ses bras de Loire

Philippe Pascal 
Et ce son insensé

Dans le petit local
Les punks en imposaient
On arrivait après
Avec nos pédales flanger et chorus à la Cure
On Joy Divisionnait, péniblement, toujours
Avec en point de mire la route vers le nord
Nationale 137
Une seule fois pour la conquête 
et l'aimant
L'aimant que c'était

Philippe, Pascal 

Sa voix de pluie de verre
Diffusée dans la brume
Il faudrait jouer là-bas
Faire plier la rivale, peut-être
Peut-être qu'il serait là

Oh, l'aimant 
L'aimant que c'était

C'était un soir de décembre
Où il pleuvait comme il fallait
On y a joué à pierre fendre
Dans un bar de la rue St Michel
Il n'était pas là, mais sa voix sortait de partout
Des murs, des visages de Rennes
La brume de sa voix y circulait, tenace
Et même des années après elle portait encore la rivale
On en trouvait encore la trace dans les bars
À l'angle des nuits, et même un jour
En face à face, où j'ai entendu cette voix me dire
"c'est bien ce que tu fais, prends soin de toi" 
(Dominique A)

DARK WAVE | SPACEROCK | VAPORTRAP | TRIP-HOP
AMBIENT | EXPERIMENTAL

the PERSON, the SOUND : Since 1985, Philadelphia-born Michael has composed and released hundreds of audio recordings, and published dozens of [erotic] poems.

His 'sonic-sojourn' began suddenly when he was just a teen -- feet splashing rhythmically through puddles leftover by a seaside rainstorm. Having just parted ways with the then-love-of-his-life, Michael composed his first ballad [and first song] ever -- "Tina." He rushed to his beach-side home to record his visceral 'awakening' on a tiny micro-cassette recorder, and vowed -- from that day on -- to create art for the rest of his life.

He began zealously amassing used music equipment, and had built a modest home recording studio by age seventeen, all the while crafting simple pop, ambient, and experimental works that HE had wanted to listen to -- that HE had wanted to hear, affectionately emulating the works of his then-idols, Duran Duran and Brian Eno.

Now, decades later, he has relocated to a small village outside Atlanta, Georgia, and continues to voraciously attend to his dream as a young, heartbroken boy -- to create and release music that he, himself, wants to hear.

Although no longer sequestered to pop and ambient musics, Michael's signature sound has merged the two, having integrated the R&B, hiphop, and psychedelia he has grown to love as a older gent -- having absorbed the edgy rhythms and dreamy soul of the southern United States (Atlanta and Miami).

Michael still puts forth ample amounts af ambient musics, but his recent 'sound' hovers elsewhere -- somewhere amidst the genres of vaportrap, spacerock, and trip-hop.
