Kate Bush, Running up that Hill | Never Ending Story | 怪奇物語 | ストレンジャー・シングス. Best songs from all seasons of the Netflix TV Show, some tracks from the label and a few personal picks.

Stranger Things 1, 2, 3, 4 Soundtrack

Modern Synthpop

My sister Rhea and my friend Harshad Palsule joined me for an hour's set at the Blue Frog. These are some fun excerpts from the gig!

Both the Chaterji siblings had performed California Dreaming earlier in their distant youth, with ginormous groups all doing intricate bazillion part harmonies, but this time we had to make do with two. :o) Its a little more energetic  than the Beach Boys version, which is more energetic than the Mamma's and Pappa's version, which is slightly more energetic than a Peruvian requiem dirge. Enjoy and watch out for more tracks!

BREATHE 

Sometimes two souls
Once intertwined
Will unwind
And drift apart
Two lucky stars misaligned

The universe is cruel
The universe is kind

Breathe in
Breathe out
Free the spirit and the mind
Let go of fears and doubts
And step into the light

Breathe in
Breathe out
Feel the energy tonight
Trust the magic in the sky
Let it warm you deep inside

Find them
Touch them
Hold them
Wrap around them
Lift them high
Gaze into their eyes
And let your two hearts reunite

Find them
Touch them
Hold them
Wrap around them
Lift them high
Gaze into their eyes
And let your two hearts reunite

Sometimes two souls
Once intertwined
Will unwind
And drift apart
Two lucky stars misaligned

The universe is cruel
The universe is kind

Breathe in
Breathe out
Free the spirit and the mind
Let go of fears and doubts
And step into the light

Breathe in
Breathe out
Feel the energy tonight
Trust the magic in the sky
Let it warm you deep inside

Find them
Touch them
Hold them
Wrap around them
Lift them high
Gaze into their eyes
And let your two hearts reunite

Find them
Touch them
Hold them
Wrap around them
Lift them high
Gaze into their eyes
And let your two hearts reunite

MEANINGLESS by Jay Wires

You said I was the only one
Who'd ever shown you happiness
Somehow we were different no
You never saw an end to this

Now suddenly you act as though I don't exist
Tell me how did such a hit
End up such a miss?

Every word from your lips
Every touch from your fingertips
Every love song and every kiss
Now meaningless
Meaningless

Every word from your lips
Every touch from your fingertips
Every love song and every kiss
Now meaningless
Meaningless

I used to be your one-stop shop
'Til I was sold out and dismissed
Now questions float around my head
And echo through the emptiness

Cause suddenly you act as though I don't exist
Tell me how did such a hit
end up such a miss?

Every word from your lips
Every touch from your fingertips
Every love song and every kiss
Now meaningless
Meaningless

Every word from your lips
Every touch from your fingertips
Every love song and every kiss
Now meaningless
Meaningless

Meaningless
Meaningless
Meaningless
Meaningless

This song is about the need to experience things for yourself instead of relying on hearsay and assumptions. And also, tigers.

I’ve been told this one is “classic Color Theory,” whatever that means.

WHERE TIGERS ARE SAID TO ROAM
©2024 Brian Hazard (ASCAP)

They say that tigers roam free
In these lands
You wonder how that could be
When you’ve never seen one
Legends of mist-covered hills
Perilous thrills

The mighty roar
The savage gore
Rumors and idle folklore
Map out a route
Remove all doubt
Only one way to know for sure
Set out for the great unknown
Where tigers are said to roam

Don’t be content to rely
On hearsay
To confirm what you deny
Explore every region
Seek out the cat in its den
Time and again

It may be dangerous
Who knows what you might find
Embrace the wilderness
The courage to face
The nature of your own mind

You must do this on your own
Set out for the great unknown
Where tigers are said to roam

“Undone” explores the mystery of where “I” ends and “you” begin.

UNDONE
©2025 Brian Hazard (ASCAP)

Where do I end, where do you start?
Our lifeblood flows into one heart
Like shadows merge beneath the moon
In silent grace, we are attuned
Are these thoughts yours or are they mine?
Our raw perceptions intertwine

The world a humble prediction
Based on the weight of conviction
Which way is up, which way is down
When there’s no center to be found
Vision and sound blend into one
We are alive, we are undone

When I close my eyes
There’s no edge

Constructs collapse all around me
How could I stand at the boundary
When every sign of what I am
Is all right here, contained within
Where thoughts like whispers take their flight
To fade into the vacant night

When I close my eyes
There’s no edge

“The Rehearsal” is about compulsively practicing conversations in your head—what you’ll say, how you’ll say it, and replaying it until it all feels just right, even if you end up never saying a word.

THE REHEARSAL
©2025 Brian Hazard (ASCAP)

I deal in daydreams
I traffic in text
Endless predictions of
What you’ll say next

I pick my battles
And I take my licks
At the rehearsal
I rewrite the script

There’s something I have to get off my chest
But I don’t know how to say it best

Tape decks chew on old cassettes
Restless pacing wears the floorboards
Grasp at smoke and call it home
Shape my thoughts like molten chrome

Stories aching to be told
Every silence must be broken
But I bottled the eclipse
From my umbra to your lips

It’s a compulsion
A cognitive trap
At the rehearsal
I polish my act

I’m the sole architect of each pause
I preach my gospel to empty halls

Why not let the words find their own flow?
I can make it all up as I go

Improvisation
Is the skillful way
Trust when the time comes
I’ll know what to say

Let go of scenes
That may never exist
Live in the moment
And welcome the risk
