The reflections of a man recognising the strength of the woman who has shouldered all of his failures.

YOUR TRUEST FAITH
(Paul Ariss)
Every time you look at me
I know just what you’re thinking
You wish that I would change my ways
And maybe stop this drinking
It’s too much to admit I know
But I’m not the man you married
I’m not the man you knew before
I’m just the man you’ve carried

Even when the child was born
I was somewhere else instead
You never even asked me why
When you should have wished me dead
I carry all the benefit as you
Suffer all the blame
I took from you the years of youth
And you took from me my name

And now as you see another line round your eyes
Do you think of the years passing by
Do you wish for that optimistic wind on your face
As I hang on to your truest faith								   As I hang on to your truest faith

A man as weak as this one before you
Will always find excuse
To seek a home for his easy anger
With occasional abuse
I still hide behind your charity,
But I know the price you pay,
Do you still believe in me
Or has hope just blown away

REPEAT CHORUS 

If you would only scream a little and let me see the pain
Would I carry on regardless and do it all again?
Or take another chance to show you the man I wished to be
Recall those years I stood beside you so strong and straight and free






Every time you look at me
I know just what you’re thinking
You wish that I would change my ways
And maybe stop this drinking
It’s too much to admit I know
But I’m not the man you married
I’m not the man you knew before 
I’m just the man you’ve carried

And now when you see another line round your eyes
Do you think of the years passing by
Do you wish for that optimistic wind on your face
As I hang on to your truest faith
As I hang on to your truest faith
As I hang on to your truest faith

Your Truest Faith

ABOUT THE ARIA
From Masquerade, the third act in a trio of operas called Three Way. Masquerade takes place at a lavish suburban home. It’s a swinglife party, where people from all walks of life pursue their wildest erotic dreams. Couples in masks and robes have paired off in twos and threes. In this aria, the conservative, middle-aged Larry thought he was going to have fun with two ladies, but had performance anxiety. He pours a drink and laments.

ABOUT THE OPERA
An Il trittico for the Tinder generation, Three Way is a new opera about the present and future of sex and love with music by Robert Paterson (The Whole Truth) and a libretto by David Cote (Blind Injustice). In three playful acts, average heroes explore the worlds of android lovers, BDSM and polyamory in a quest for “more” in today’s hyperconnected and gender-fluid world. Featuring Nashville Opera, conducted by Dean Williamson. Original cast recording.

LYRICS
I’m angry with myself.
Well, just a part of myself—
The part that lies there like a shrunken lump.
I could take that magic pill,
But I’d rather use my will,
Not an artificial bump to end this slump.

Two of them, two of them, what more could you ask?
Two luscious ladies, eager and game.
That makes three of us, three of us, all in our masks,
The lighting is low, the cushions are deep,
It’s my favorite dream but I’m not asleep.
And Little Larry Junior’s not making a peep.
I guess it’s not my night.
Not my night. Not my night.

I’m beating up myself.
I should be nicer to myself.
I want to keep on playing in the game.
But despite my healthy hunger,
The other team is so much younger
And my pitching arm is feeling awful lame.
When did the wild man get so very tame?
Not my night! Not my night.

lyrics

I’m throwing crimson petals 
Before each step you take. 
You know it makes me revel 
To humble for your sake 
Although you did not care… 

There’s no  need for assuring 
The crown, it suits you well  
And dress, it makes you looking 
Like Special Super Rare. 
All legendary princesses 
Are going to the friend zone 
Just one thing that I want is 
To stand behind your throne  

Forgive me my audacity, 
Can’t keep it intimate tonight 
No words can match your rarity.
You are my ultimate delight 
My ultimate tonight  

A flick of your reflection 
Will always strike the Chord 
I’m taking no objection 
You’re my top tier reward. 
Without you my collection 
Just could not  be complete.  
There is no imperfection 
That you need to delete  

I Can not  wait to Level up 
let’s keep it intimate tonight 
The time has come to Settle up.
You are my ultimate delight 
My ultimate tonight  

It is 2D,  or not to be    
That is the question put out right.
No one can ever disagree: 
You are my ultimate delight. 
My ultimate tonight

My love is ultimate 
My ultimate 
Girl you’re my ultimate 
My ultra date 
You are my ultimate tonight 
Tonight

All random girls are gone now
My only wish is you
Until my game is over
I will be there for you...

Rum&Done

My Ultimate!

WE is you and WE is me, we is more than family. It's gonna take WE to give a dam as the world is changing. Together we can weather the storms of time.

Sheena wrote this lyric as a response to this turbulent year (2020) and the realisation that only together can we change anything and that "We" is inclusive.

Frozen

The title track for my upcoming album "Civilization Soundscape," which is featured in the epic teaser trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwwH8h91FUU

Artifex (noun - Latin): practitioner of an art, craftsman, creator

This track acts as a small case study, epitomizing both my sound and what I try to achieve with my music. I start with a blank canvas and employ the simplest of motifs, a pulse on a single tone. With each subsequent layer I try to add intrigue and detail, giving a direction to the piece and painting a picture for the listener. Each layer is treated analogously to how an engineer would make use of a fundamental principle in their trade, ultimately arriving at something comprised of much greater complexity.  Finally, a simple harmonic structure is introduced, rich and vibrant in tonality, which I attempt to complement through the continued use of driving percussive elements. I intended the final product to feel built from the ground up like a group of architects beginning construction on a monument, only with the brick and mortar and mathematical axioms substituted by sonic motifs.

I hope you enjoy :) please comment with your thoughts and any critiques!
