Truth…
by Anton Etch 2022
- a rough demo from the 'Simple & Strange' series -

Truth comes in flashes
snapshots and ashes
rises like a phoenix
floats to your ceiling
shimmers and hovers
at four in the morning
truth comes in flashes
from fragments forming

Truth appears
it's not excavated
it can't be figured
or cooked or created

Truth emerges
in surprising places
the howling vagrant
and unsafe spaces

Truth isn't born
fully formed
you have to glean it
from shards ‘n storms

Truth waits
It delivers no warning
reveals itself
to those in mourning

Truth doesn't care
who the hell you are
what you drive
pauper or czar

Truth is earned
it can't be bought
you have to want it
more than what you got

Truth comes in flashes
in rags and in patches
the daughter of time
slow as molasses 
or quick as quicksilver
in sparks and splashes
in fragments and facets
in mixes and mashes

Truth is the last
guest at the weddin'
sits at the back
foldin' a napkin

…less in words 
more in actions
never shouts 
ignores the factions

…tip of a hat
tap of a finger
there's truth in
the voice of the singer

Truth in 
the barkin' dog
the wasp sting
the walk in the dark

Truth lurks 
in the shadows
it stalks
your tomorrows

You can try 
forever to avoid it
deny, defy,
or blindfold it

The enemy 
of fantasy
the surrender 
of hope...

...truth is 
no story.
It doesn't need 
glory

Truth comes in flashes
snapshots and ashes
rises like a phoenix
floats to your ceiling
shimmers and hovers
at four in the morning
truth comes in flashes
from fragments forming

Truth...

Pirates in the South Sea. The start of a new world.

The South Sea

Permiso, puedo pasar?
desde hace un tiempo vengo preguntando la verdad
Comprende, quiero parar
desde que te conocí
quiero una explicación
para sentir
lo que no es depresión...
sin razón

Permiso, puedo pasar?
para volver atrás hay que empezar a ensayar
Comprende, quiero cambiar
y aunque pase encerrado 
créeme soy fiable
y es que todos estos años pensé...
eras controlable


Y mírame,
dime que puedes calmarte
ya sé por que mi vida fue tan frágil
Espérame
déjame preguntarte 
cuál fue la razón
de que estemos en esto los dos?


Permiso... para viajar
hacia el presente ya que
me he quedado atrás
estancado en el pasado
Cuidado, voy despistado
Enfermo, nos creen asi; a mi


Si alguna vez te pones de mi lado
házmelo saber para asi conversar
Sólo sé
que soy un chico infeliz
y no entiendo 
por que me haces sufrir


Y mírame,
dime que puedes calmarte
ya sé por que mi vida fue tan frágil
Espérame
déjame preguntarte 
cuál fue la razón
de que estemos en esto los dos?

Y mírame,
dime que puedes calmarte
ya sé por que mi vida fue tan frágil
Espérame
déjame preguntarte 
cuál fue la razón
de que estemos en esto los dos?


Querida mente, dejaste mi paz para sentir lo que es la depresión.

Querida mente, hola. (acústica)

I play as much as desired at a resort and am refreshed! Let's spend gentle time.
I hang a surround effect in a sax, an electric piano, a base, a drum, a percussion, strings mix down.

This music relates the battle of the god Susanoo against the eight-headed dragon Yamata-No-Orochi. He must had the dragon drink a lot of sake to win the fight (I guess you can hear this near the end ^^).
This track is part of the project of my friend Hideo @soundsofthekosmos. It is an open invitation to collab by exploring japanese myths. More tracks - including some from other soundclouders - can be listen here: https://soundcloud.com/soundsofthekosmos/sets/kojiki-project.

🕊️welcome...thank you for listening❤️

jay-did ("jaded"), possessed by the supreme overlord of the irreverent, the ill conceived, the unadvisable, the backward, the naive, the ignorant, the unintuitive, and all that is counter-popular, creates music that unites familiar sounds with ones that challenge and expand your brain. he/she/they offer you a gift that requires only your ears to receive, and seeks not worship, but simply to create happiness while helping feed the popular machine with new ideas.

WTF IS JAY-DID?

jay-did (pronounced "jaded" or /ˈdʒeɪ.dɪd/), the overlord of the counter-popular, has possessed the body of a mortal to carry out his plan  to disrupt the conformity in the universe. this benevolent entity intends to do this through the power of music, and passes new musical concepts directly through his mortal vessel to be shared with all of humanity. this simpleton of a performer is merely a pawn of the overlord, so cut him a little slack. he can't control any of this. he is being molded into a battle-hardened rock-and-roll soldier that will soon be ready to carry out my most sinister plans.

JAY-DID'S BACKSTORY

jad-did selected the five points and rino arts district neighborhoods of Denver, Colorado has the ideal place to focus his crusade against popular music. this wonderful place has proven to be fertile ground for emerging counter-pop artistry, and jay-did did intends to stay at the center of it all.

peace and love ♥️🕊️✌️from your friend, jay-did.
