This is an album that reflects the multifaceted idealist. Whether it be he or she that is hanging around without anyone to acknowledge them or the person that everyone knows for whatever reason. For the most part as the candid shot that is signed by the photographer as the cover of this album, the figure is a representation of the many interest that take most of the day up until you get to the place where you meet other like minded people. This man could have just been listening to the radio in his yard that made him want to take a walk to the record store. He could have been reading a plant book that made him want to get over to the park for while before the sun goes down. "What sort of foot traffic has gone by the place that you spend your nights?"
What time of day does the shadows formed by the sky show you in the shot?
Did he ever hear that one cool thing that you said that one time? 
Awesome or Wholesome?

Well Damn. Good.

The Voices

“WOUNDED-AIR” is an emotional blend of R&B and Soul-Pop, delivering a haunting yet heartfelt sound. With smooth vocals, atmospheric melodies, and raw emotion, B68 captures the feeling of pain, healing, and silent strength. This debut single marks the beginning of Boombai 68 Beats, introducing a fresh voice in India’s independent music scene — soulful, modern, and deeply human.

AGAIN. (by SKEEZO)

Old-school punk cover of the holiday classic I Saw Three Ships. I fell in love with this song years ago, when I heard the Sting cover of it. I recorded this at Purple Mountain Studios in Hendersonville, TN, November 2024.

I Saw Three Ships (Christmas Cover)

Once upon a time there were a hip-hop collective who moved from HAWAII TO LAS VEGAS and were extremely mediocre. Instead of getting better or working with the people who can clearly help them improve, this sorry group championed a bogus record deal and turned into a boyband. Next they harbored and organized everyone they could against the one and only true king.  This group of social elites, confused by the depths of the waters, couldn't swim against the current.  But as entitled as they were, they gathered. And stroke they tried. Before they jumped into the water, they built a bank. And taxed the city as if everyone in the city should pay their dues to them. Like the village owed them because they put up a bank. I note the backstory because when the storm came to wash away the village and the people were seeking opportunity nobody helped the people who tried to tax everyone. And the bank they build became a ruined timestamp in history. In an event that would be remembered as the "October Flood"

Right Here (Only and Final Diss Response)

“The Acolyte’s Lament” is a ceremonial descent into the psyche of a devoted figure whose faith has fractured under the weight of silence and sacrifice. The acolyte, once bound to a sacred order, now stands at the edge of spiritual collapse — not in rebellion, but in mournful surrender.

His vows, once pure, have been consumed by the silence of a corrupted throne. The serpent becomes his guide, not as a tempter, but as a witness to his dissolution. Each verse is a step deeper into the void, where sacred law dissolves and only ash remains.

This piece is the first movement in a sovereign trilogy — followed by “The Oracle’s Silence” and “The Covenant of Ashes” — forming a complete arc of descent, detachment, and purification.

Markus Hansen / mhmedia.de – Leg ne Pause ein

Die Anti-Hymne für unsere überreizte Zeit. 📵
„Leg ne Pause ein“ ist der dringende Aufruf, sich dem ständigen Lärm, der Konsumhysterie und dem Perfektionswahn des digitalen Alltags zu entziehen. Inmitten von News-Flut, Werbe-Bombardement und Social-Media-Stress liefert Markus Hansen den Soundtrack für den Digital Detox und die bewusste Auszeit.
Musikalisch überrascht der Song als eingängiger Deutsch-Pop mit einem energischen Rock-Einfluss und einem ungewöhnlich entspannten, minimalistischen Posaunen-Solo, das die Ruhe des Textes perfekt untermalt. Ein Song, der zum Nachdenken anregt und daran erinnert: Es ist okay, einfach mal offline zu sein.


Songtext

Leg ne Pause ein
Ich mach ne Pause Während alles um mich
Sich quält, abhetzt und rennt 
dabei innerlich verbrennt

Nichts kann mich stören
in dieser Zeit 
bin gelassen, frei und froh 
das ist nicht immer so

Ein Moment ohne Werbung 
die sich überall zeigt 
die schön, perfekt und heil ist 
was du nicht bist

Ich lege ne Pause ein Mach das Smartphone aus 
Ich leg ne Pause ein 
Setz mich irgendwo hin 
Ich leg ne Pause ein mach die Augen zu 
Ich leg ne Pause ein bis ich wieder ich bin


Kurze Nachrichtensperre 
Die uns überschwemmen 
erschrecken, nerven und quälen 
auf allen Kanälen

Eine Zeitlang Konsumfrei 
ohne Warenkorb 
Weder Prozente, Sale noch Angebot 
und auch kein Promocode

ch lege ne Pause ein Mach das Smartphone aus 
Ich leg ne Pause ein Setz mich irgendwo hin 
Ich leg ne Pause ein mach die Augen zu
 Ich leg ne Pause ein das macht wirklich Sinn

Solo (Minimalistisches Posaunen-Solo)

Ich poste gar nichts 
Will überhaupt nichts teilen 
weder Reel, Story oder Short 
Ich sage kein Wort
