Sunday (Burn Me 'Till I'm Sane)

At the Roadhouse

Black & Thunder

Instrumental/mix/master by me

Lyrics:
I found that note you left to me it says you don't blame me well I hope you do
Cus' who would you blame?
And I don't blame you
And I wouldn't say that this was a fluke
Cus' what this had meant to me was something I had never felt before
Till it fell through the floor 

I will say this for the last time
I'm not the best guy to hang around
I will say this for the last time
I'm not the best guy to hang around
I will say this for the last time
I'm not the best guy to hang around
(I found that note you left to me it says you don't blame me well I hope you do)
Cus' who would you blame?
And I don't blame you
And I wouldn't say that this was a fluke
Cus' what this had meant to me was something I had never felt before
Till it fell through the floor

Whats it say, Prince Hot Bod?

red lights from the embers
hard to forget when it's hard to remember
your words and your temper
know i'll forgive cause you start to accept in time
i want this for life
i need you right now
for as long as it takes and the lights in December
clean me out
thought we'd be good by now
for what it's still worth
i know it still hurts in the same way

barely breathing actually
lost in technicalities 
hold him close and damage me
Holy Ghost reality
hung so still like tapestry
first and last i'm all of these
only place i want to be 
drifting in and out and sleep

but they couldn't know that i 
sat in the cold dark
tell me when it's done, what you're thinking of
lately the walls just cave in
and all of my faith just wears thin
so tell me when it's done, what you're thinking of
i know it's hard to sleep
and everything comes back to me in pieces
like how you need it
cold on the table, touched deep
just fucked and departed slowly
if white walls could speak could hold me 
they'd speak of the damage only 

barely breathing actually
lost in technicalities 
hold him close and damage me
Holy Ghost reality
hung so still like tapestry
first and last i'm all of these
only place i want to be 
drifting in and out and sleep

brace against the white sand 
holding it in cold hands
close to you to grow back
time we lost, it's potent
bones had bent from words said
whispered on the church steps
told to him before that
take me whole in one breath

take me out of this body, out of my life
i've been out of my face and out of my mind
i've been out of my depth, closing my eyes
letting go of my hope before it could die
letting go of my hope before it could die

"Peace Sign" is an uplifting and melodic journey that captures the essence of finding hope and beauty in the world around us. Set at a lively tempo, this song tells the story of a radiant figure standing atop a hill, embracing the sunset with open arms and a peaceful heart. As the stars come out, she dances freely under the night sky, her laughter and spirit illuminating the darkness.

She is a symbol of peace, a beacon of love and harmony, full of inner strength and resilience. Even in moments of sadness, her tears transform into stars, reigniting the peace sign in her eyes and reminding us all of the power of dreams and hope.

Let the peace sign shine brightly in your heart.

Peace sign

Big picture wise, it’s a hip hop beat with spaghetti western elements. So hence, the trip hop tag cos’ Soundcloud likes to judge genres based on beats. 
I used a minMaj7 chord for the first time in preparation for my Bond theme I will be attempting next year. Daunting, I know. Over the MinMa77 chord I used gypsy minor or double harmonic minor or whatever you wanna call it. Then, mixolydian over the Dom 7. After the spaghetti western intro, I do a borrowed chord on the 4th degree in the second verse. Then again, for the bridge. For the key change I used a diminished portal. If you make a Dom 7 chord a half step below any of the  notes of a diminished 7 chord it shares 3 common notes so it gives you 4 possible keys to go to. I picked the one with 1b cos it’s close to Am. Then another borrowed chord on the 4th degree of the scale. A lot of superimposition going on with the keys/strings. 
Production wise, the usual time it takes to produce a song is 12 hours. I went over that by 1 hour cos’ I had to learn how to play a bit of harmonica and bend with it. I didn’t know that you had to blow and suck. That’s what she said. I think the best parts of the string arrangements are the 2nd verse and the bridge where I just stopped trying to be Ennio Morricone and did…me. 
Mix wise, this is what Cassius would sound like had I let the pro mixers have their way. I think it’s cool/light/hipster. Not as warm as my demo mix. So maybe in the future I will put my foot down and go back to ‘just mix it like my demo.’ But, I think 75% of my vision was reached so that makes me satisfied. 
Lyrically, what we’re going for is dependent on how you’re feeling right now. So, if you’re unhappy you can imagine that we’re singing it to you. Especially the line ‘Need your pain to dissipate.’ And if you’re happy, then you imagine you’re singing it to someone else. 


I put my 6 string in it. Buried deep inside the sins of the foreign lands    (I guess I could be referring to 八国联军here）
And when I get down to it I’m gonna love you in all the ways that I can          
Back up for ya cry, need a place to sort out your life
Need your pain to dissipate, need the rain to sit and wait
I got this back porch shotgun sitting wisdom tooth (I set my brain on random and I like the contrast between a somewhat redneck shotgun scene and caviar)
On the rain soaked caviar of mortal loving dues 

Chorus:
Backing:Do you do you wanna try
Staring deep inside my eyes
And you’re never the pauper and you’re never the slave (I actually thought pauper meant beggar until after I recorded the song and looked it up)
And you’ve broken out of your rusty cage. (Soundgarden reference)
When the dust is gone and settled
Will ya be the one
To make the queen of angels sigh (Doors reference. I think what I’m going for is the opposite of you’re so vain. Because the person ought to say, “I’m not an angel. Nor am I the queen of angels.” And, that’s why it’s you. And if it’s a kid asking themselves the question. “Can I kick it? Will I be the one?” You know the answer. “Yes you can.”)

Verse 2

Back up, if you’ve only got the rain on your mind
Shut up, before you lose the innocence of life 
I’m only in it for the beauty, in it for the game, I do it for the simple beauty to keep my life sane     (“oh. And that’s why do we it. But mostly the money”. But when I sing that line I believe. “You think Ronnie Van Want would rather play free gigs instead of getting paid. “Mama told me to forget my lust for the rich man’s gold. But she also taught me not to be an idiot.”)
It’s overdone. (When the) silence is overcome. 
I got the spells son. Do you have it? I got the spells son. Do you have it? (Just me being amusing)
In your place son. Do you have it? Take my rage son. Do you have it?

Hell.  going up in flames
Until you say my name 
I’ve been looking, forward to those voices, that make me change 

Why. Must the blue skies fall
Need to hear your name 
Before the water douses us again.

Sigh

everything i love reminds me of you

Ambitions as a Writer

...  is Coming to an End.  


there still is no alternate truth or reality and the current 'conservative revolution' is just a shallow attempt to turn back time and progress.

the Era of Enlightenment was NOT some weird ongoing conspiracy, to enslave mankind, but an important historical period, during which basic human rights were proclaimed and guaranteed to everybody.

regardless of believe, ethnicity or - for the first time in europe - religion.


standing in opposition to something stupid does not necessarily guarantee wisdom.

but opposition to those who want to erase progress 
and humanism is a duty.

Whats it say, Prince Hot Bod?
