One of the first songs we wrote together in the early 90's. It changed and morphed and became this. 

Insane Thing (Demo)  (c) (J Cottrill & M Permezel)

Une seule musique et deux chansons : Icare ou Tarot. Laquelle préférez-vous?
One music and two songs: Icare or Tarot. Which one do you prefer?

TRANSLATION
Icare
The sky burns like an orange,
I can’t see the horizon anymore.
Before me, voices blend together,
with the yelling of the wind, as one
A mass fallen from its nest,
Golden, saffron flashes,
I no longer know where I am,
Swirling sands.
And if the wind invites me
To dive,
I panic.
My feet waver and start to itch,
The sand melts like a candy,
I might have seen an angel,
Backlit by the rays.
And if the wind invites me
To dive,
I resist.
From dust to dust,
The earth has twisted beneath my feet.
From light to light,
Help, blinded, I ‘m drowning.
A breath in the hollow of my shoulders,
Here comes the wind inviting me again,
It draws near, softly brushes me,
I feel myself soar, I evade it.
And if the wind invites me
To dive,
I slip away.
From dust to dust,
The earth has twisted beneath my feet.
From light to light,
Help, blinded, I’m  drowning.
From dust to dust,
The earth has twisted beneath my feet.
From light to light,
Help, I’m drowning.
Dust, dust,
Light, light,
I drift beyond…

02 - Icare

Esperanza [instrumental]

This is the second to last track of Fluff's third album 'Down the Rabbit Hole'. https://open.spotify.com/album/4Iq21rBQvgXesED9Hv8GEc

We distract ourselves with meaningless noise, money and a selfish desire for 'me'. We don't realise how the skeletons in our closets, the hate and separation we breed and nurture, slowly erodes togetherness, fairness and community, while at the same time builds up to a big explosion, which probably none of us will get out of alive.

LYRICS:

The day was meaningless 
TV the usual mess
We had our toys and games and
Lots of noise and lots of noise

Do not appreciate 
Don’t give before you take 
What’s in it for me
And where is my money

This is out of control
We are out of control

I deserve
All this is mine
This is meant to be my time
Guilt reflects in our eyes
We didn’t get to say goodbye 

How did it turn so fast
I guess we didn’t last
Filling our closets 
With the ghosts and shadows
From the past

This is out of control
We are out of control

Looming up there all this time 
Pretending to be stars
Those lights now dripping from the sky
Like candle wax held to the fire

A Due Act

SOFT PORTAL-Snake kitten

Cast of Characters:

Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – foundational acoustic and electric guitars, distorted electric guitar, and the seed idea

Mistermark – @user-432503709 – Mark – vocals, lyrics, high organ, toy piano, percussion, sound effects, production, editing, mix

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– 5-string banjo solo, electric guitar

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- low organ, piano, synth flute, sound effects

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, percussion 

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass

Composition – The Eclectic Collective

This song began its life as a hauntingly exquisite guitar chord progression that Tez came up with and shared with the rest of us. He also stacked a couple of other guitar tracks in there for good measure. 

Ken was first up, adding his drums, then later his pots and pans percussion. As he was doing that, Josh was coming up with his bass line, and they did their little dance of back and forth until the rhythm section was set. 

Mark came in around the same time, though, and added his unique, Waitsian vocals with the lyrics that he wrote for it, too. He also added some really amazing organ parts, a toy piano which you can hear right after the banjo solo, and percussion that add a solid foundation for his voice and add magic throughout the song. 

Stephen followed shortly after with the big stroke guitar chords, and also came up with the amazing banjo solo you hear in there, too. Last, but not least, JJ came in with his organ and electric piano to seal the deal with the melodies and ambience. Then he and Mark added the cool sound effects you hear throughout, too.

  Every great song needs a great producer, and Mark filled the duty on this one. He has proved himself to be a masterful editor, producer, and mixer, and we are lucky to have him as part of the team.

  This one is an homage to Tom Waits in a deliberate way. We're all big fans, and tried to do something in his unique style. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
 
Original lyrics by Mistermark:
I got something hidden in my closet 
that I don’t want you to see 
A little like a shady deposit
And it’s bound to incriminate me

Well now some might call it a skeleton 
Like a raincoat filled with bones
See I been hangin’ it there since I don’t know when
And I just can’t leave it alone

Me and Bill rolling bones in a gambling hall 
I threw snake eyes but Bill counted three
I took his accusation just a little too far 
Then everybody went quiet as they stared at me

Now the finger bone’s connected to the trigger
And the hand bone’s connected to me
And every day my secret’s gettin’ bigger
Soon enough I’ll be swinging from a tree

Coz I got something hidden in my closet 
that I don’t want you to see 
I done made a shady deposit
And it’s bound to incriminate me

Well now some might call it a skeleton 
Like a raincoat filled with bones
See I been hiding it there since I don’t know when
And I just can’t leave it alone
(repeat)

Bones - (Eclectic Collective)

This has been in the drawer for looong. I just finished it, and it's made in reason 13. I draw the nodes, which make it more rhythmic.
