One collective location for all my tracks.  This list will update as I complete songs, with each of the songs on the playlist added in the order recorded...as you listen, you'll hear me unwind, my recording engineering skills devolving from today, going back nearly two decades to when I recorded the first song in the list, using Cakewalk and a computer microphone wayyyyy back in 2004.

From the album ‘Trust No Leaders’ by The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara. Released July 1, 2022. 

// Smell of Your Rot
“Smell of Your Rot” is about breaking free from the chains of psychological abuse. The song is told from the point of view of a woman who reconnects with her soul in order to take back control of her sense of self after years of living under the control and oppression of a coercive partner. A symphony of metal guitars and classical strings set the scene for this triumphant moment of liberation — which can be likened to waking up from “a deep restless sleep lasting years and year long”. Finally, she sees everything in the world in a completely different light.

// The Album
'Trust No Leaders' is a record that weaves a voyage through heavy metal history — from its roots in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal up until present day, fusing heavy metal with their signature ‘poetry performance’. Set against orchestral and cinematic soundscapes, the record also pays tribute to non-Western musical traditions, including Native American and South American folk music, Vedic chants, and Indo-Persian classical music. The lyrics bring together elements from modern theater, classical Persian poetry, to Jungian Psychology and theology. 

Commenting on the motivation behind Trust No Leaders, 
TCOMAS: "Our inspiration extends beyond musical genres and the confines of discipline.The confluence of influences in our album extend throughout time and across cultures. In retrospect, this really captures our ethos: Look back into the past for insight, and look into the future with foresight. And in doing so, we created something new of our own."

Landing about 15 months after their debut album Full Spectrum, the duo’s sophomore LP expresses a more aggressive side to the band and was recorded last summer at TCOMAS’ studio in Camden Town, London.   

Discussing the new album’s motivation, TCOMAS:
"The current crisis and the events of our time have made it necessary for us to analyse, investigate, and expose the issues in urgent need of systemic change by looking inwards into the human condition. We want the album to be a beacon of hope, for making a future that prioritises people and the environment."

// About The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara
Hailed as ‘pioneers of a new form of expression’ through the performance of poetry in music, The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara (TCOMAS) are a UK-based duo comprising Daphne Ang (Singapore) and Andrea Papi (Italy), who came together in London in early 2020 to record their debut album, Full Spectrum, released on 26 Feb 2021. Breaking new ground in the way they combine progressive music, poetry, and vision, TCOMAS fills a gap in music by bringing literature, theatre, and history, fusing rock and metal, with poetry performance. Their sophomore album, Trust No Leaders, is due to arrive on July 1, 2022.

09 - Local Deli

Just pain with no feeling
The web you spun to pull me in
Just lies, ambitions
Fuck over everyone to win

Just give me a reason
To cut you from my life
Just give me a reason
To feel me drive the knife

It's clear manipulation
The game you played right from the start
Too late, situation
Is fucking tearing us apart

Just Give Me A Reason

The End of the Century

12. Mason Walk.wav

This is a protest song.  In no way is this a manifesto, nor am I to be considered a threat to act with an measure of violence beyond or representative of the words in this song.  I am a peaceful person who vehemently detests Trump, his administration, and everything that he does.  I appreciate the people who support him, I just don't support what they believe, and wholeheartedly feel that this country is a far worse and more dangerous place with Trump as president.  He sows the seeds of fear, hate, and everything that this country has been trying to mature beyond.  Clearly, to him, "Make America Great Again" simply means to make it white and make it male!  F Trump and F anyone who supports his ignorant policies!  Again, not a threat, just a pissed off songwriter who needed to say something!

Intro Chord: Bf > B > Bf > B 
Intro Melody:  Bf > A > G > F > Af > G > F > Ef

Verse 1:
(Bf) These politicians are (B) driving the train
Straight off the cliff, they don’t hesitate
Gather us up and they place us in chains
Care more for their power, this narcissist’s power

(Bf) Will they never learn, (B) how can they not see
It’s never enough, justifying their greed
Both sides of their mouth, you can never believe
Don’t trust in these fools, beware of their sheep
 
Pre-Chorus:
(C#) We are, in our (D) darkest hour
(C#) Cry freedom, from the (D) bigots and fear

Chorus:
(E)	I might, try to (F) take back the power
(E) I might, raise my fist (F) in the air

Verse 2:
No strength found in numbers.  They’re pounding their chests
Roots take to the promise that the beast knows what’s best
Can you see what is coming, getting harder to breathe
45, 47, wears his hate on his sleeve

From up in his castle, the king on his throne
Protecting his fortune, picks his teeth with our bones
To our last breath, with it our democracy
Resisting the tyrant, we must resist his lunacy

Pre-Chorus:
(C#) We are, in our (D) darkest hour
(C#) Cry freedom, from the (D) bigots and fear

Chorus:
(E)	I might, try to (F) take back the power
(E) I might, raise my fist (F) in the air


Bridge Verse 1
(am) I’m just (EM) trying to live my (F) life (C) (em7b6)
(am) You’ll never control (EM) my mind
(F)	You’re just a puppet with the (CM) power (em7b6) to decide

Just another 3 inches to the right
A civil war to be xenophobe free
Not my president, don’t represent me

Bridge Chorus
(F)	You got an expiration (E) date
(F) I’m declaring Independence from (E) intolerance and hate
(F) No place for despotism in the (E) USA
(F) Your fascist agenda is an (E) ideocracy

Bridge Verse 2
I’m just trying to do things right
Deportations and tariffs are a ludicrous decree
Firing national security agents who refuse to bend the knee
The earth is just trying to survive
But you’re drill baby drill, want to gut protected lands
You’re gonna get us all killed, you’ve got our blood on your hands

Bridge Chorus
You got an expiration date
I’m declaring Independence from intolerance and hate
No place for despotism in the USA
Your fascist agenda is an ideocracy

Pre-Chorus:
(C#) We are, in our (D) darkest hour
(C#) Cry freedom, from the (D) bigots and fear

Chorus:
(E)	I might, try to (F) take back the power
(E) I might, raise my fist (F) in the air


From the Declaration of Independence

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly, all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

It Was Always You
Daughter:  dm, bfm, fM, cM

Verse 1 – finger picked first half, adding in strumming second half for the build
Yeah, I’d have done anything, I did everything for you
But I was lost in a dream, I just couldn’t see the truth 
Emotions are hell, I’d throw a ball in your honor, just to dance with you tonight
But you wouldn’t show, and if I knew insecurity, would I choose to believe it
To see how far we’ve fallen, I just couldn’t let you go

Pre-Chorus: bfM, fM (perhaps strings or harmonica, swelling in the space between verse and chorus - electric kicks in – power chords – kick it up even more
All I needed was you
All I ever wanted was you

Chorus: C, bfM, fM
You’ll always be the one. 
It was always you
You’ll always be the one. 

Verse 2
You stood there dancing, in the doorway, just before dawn 
And your sun was rising, inside I was dying, just trying to hang on
Along for the ride, and you needed more, than I could ever offer, I tried harder to control, been a long time coming, and years before I’d see, that the only thing in the way was me

Pre-Chorus: bfM, fM
All I needed was you
All I ever wanted was you

Chorus: C, bfM, fM
You’ll always be the one. 
It was always you
You’ll always be the one. 

Bridge: A, bf, F, C,
The skies have darkened, as grey as I feel, I see brighter days coming, maybe just not for me
Take it for what it was, and know that you were loved
I’ll take it for what I know, I just wasn’t enough
SOLO?




Verse 3
I replay you in my mind, from the moment, that we met
Alone on a park bench, by the river, where you sat
And here I sit now, the image etched in my brain, from your first smile, until you walked away
I know life goes on, believe me I’ve tried, still getting burned by this fire inside.


Pre-Chorus: bfM, fM
All I needed was you
All I ever wanted was you

Chorus: C, bfM, fM
You’ll always be the one. 
It was always you
You’ll always be the one.

It Was Always You

Depression

Verse 1: F#/A > E/A > D/A > C#/A
Numb, how I feel?  So lost within this fog.  Withdrawn, too hard to cope
And time, eats away, at my brain, till I’m just a hollow shell

Pre-Chorus: B > A > G
This weight, this burden I protect
All the voices in my mind, driving me toward suicide

Chorus: B > A > G
Depression – this pressure
Depression – Depression

Verse 2
Alone, my fatigue?  When the color in my eyes, gives way to my disguise
These lies, I tell myself, are losing their effect, consumed by my regrets
                                                                                                                                                                                       
Pre-Chorus
This pain, thickens in my veins
This monster in my mind, I’ve nowhere left to hide

Chorus
Depression – this pressure
Depression – Depression

Bridge:  em > BM > CM > GM > F#M (4)
A black cloud is following me, it swallows me whole, invades my sleep, only one way it lets me go
Isolate myself from everything, the only pleasure in my life, comes from getting high, the only way I know to get by
< SOLO: B > A > G >

Verse 3
Goodbye.  All the fear, these whispers telling me, only one way to be free
To see, to escape, quick and painless sounds so nice, hand full of pills to say goodbye

Pre-Chorus
This waste, my mother on my mind
Drowning in a river of tears, so ashamed to leave her here

Chorus x2
Depression – this pressure
Depression – Depression

I’ve got to get me out of here 
It’s time to let me go 
Place this noose around my neck
As all these pills go down my throat 
I just take another drink
And I’m drifting off to sleep
It’s time to say goodbye 
Please just let me die
Please let me go

To see your footsteps in the dew, to share the beauty in your mind

New songs of love and the morning light - This is life, and I feel alive

I feel your hand grab on to mine, and I’m filled with joy, yeah, here we go, yeah here we g

Take Me

Verse 1:
Take me with you, I’ll leave it all behind
Disposable kingdom, I’ll burn it down tonight
There’s nothing left for me, here, without you in my life
Without, you are my life

Pre-Chorus:
Our souls, forever intertwined
You are the only thing that’s real

Chorus
I’m trapped inside my mind
Drowning in my lies, your shadow draws the line
I don’t have what it takes to say goodbye

Verse 2:
Take me with you, I’ll wait eternity
My paper heart, the holes you’ve ripped in me
I’m lost unto the wind
Forgiveness not forget
Do you ever think of me, am I alone in this illusion

Pre-Chorus
Our souls, continue to unwind
Were you, ever really mine

Chorus
I’m trapped inside my mind
Drowning in my lies, your shadow draws the line
I don’t have what it takes to say goodbye

Take Me

Here With Me 

Verse 1: Guitar - G > em > C > D | Mando – D > C# minor 7th chord 

What can I do, what can I say, we just want to go out and play 

In the park, in the yard, though our hearts are mighty scarred 

I’m just a boy, you’re just a girl, spinning round on the tilt-a-whirl 

Round and round and round we go, where we’ll land no one knows 

 

Chorus: am7 > Aadd9 | G > A 

Life is just a blur it seems, but you’re standing next to me 

We can get through anything 

Be here now, be here with me 

 

Between: G > em G > em > G > em > G > em 

 

Verse 2: G > em > C > D 

What can I do, what can I say, I know nothing stays the same 

Under this moon, under these stars, long as we can, and just as far 

I’m just a girl, you’re just a boy, hand in hand, hang on to the joy 

Day by day, the years go by, all this time just to say goodbye. 

 

Chorus: am7 > Aadd9 

Life is just a blur it seems, but you’re standing next to me 

We can get through anything 

Be here now, be here with me 

 

Instrumental Bridge: (Stays on G chord framing) G > B > C > B > am (repeat 4x w/ swelling melodic harmonies heavy in reverb) 

 

Between: G > em G > em > G > em > G > em 

 

Verse 3: G > em > C > D 

What did Dad do, what did Mom say, stay young, be kind, choose love, go play 

It’s a crazy world and that’s okay, the two of you make it a better place 

The day will come when we’ll be gone, side-by-side we know that you’ll be strong 

Don’t let the time pull you away, best friends, you and I, our family stays 

  

Chorus: am7 > Aadd9 

Life is just a blur it seems, but you’re standing next to me 

We can get through anything 

Be here now, be here with me 

 

Between: G > em G > em > G > em > G > em
