The third installment of my on-going collaboration with Lucius. Following the classic trajectory of little boys the world over, Lu has been through his pirate phase, moving onto ghosts, vampires and zombies and now, at age 7, is all about superheros! Thus it is my great pleasure to introduce Lu-Dude and Dad-Man!
* Beat jacked from Lyrical Commission 'Murderous Metaphors' - much love.

Lu-Dude and Dad-Man ft Lucius Raine

Streets Of Rage

Two political figures of such stature deserve their own song. So I wrote one for them.

The Ballad of Dan & Cindy

Lyrics by Virus
Produced, mixed and mastered by Chamber Echo

Better Late Than Never

Original song writers: Robert Plant, Chris Blackwell, Charlie Jones, Doug Boyle, Phil Johnstone.
Lyrics by Virus. Produced by Chamber Echo. Chorus vocals performed by Lucius Raine.

I try not to write love songs these days, but there's always 'the one who got away'. We all have one, and this person can haunt us for a lifetime. For the musically inclined, a song must inevitably follow. I first conceived this cover of Robert Plant's 1993 hit while sitting drunk on the beach in Surfer's Paradise in March 2022. That is the only insight I'll give to my lyrics, which will likely remain cryptic for all but a few who know the backstory. I wrote and recorded the demo in December 2023 and finally obtained the chorus vocals I needed from my son and long-time collaborator several months later. It has taken until now to get the final mix. This is a vanity project, and experimental in the sense that it lands on the periphery of my established style. I hope my followers will appreciate it, but unlike much of my music, it was not written for a wide audience, and serves only my aching heart. I do not expect to get thousands of plays on this. However, for the one who got away, it must be set down for posterity and by all means, if you have the nous to identify her, and she moves in your circle, then please do play her this song, late one starry evening, once the second bottle of wine has been opened. 

I do not own the rights to the samples used on this track. They remain the property of the original song writers and any associated commercial interest.

This is the second collaboration between Lucius and myself. Although Lucius still loves all things piratical, his big thing right now is spooky stuff and so on his recent visit we recorded this bone-rattling, blood-chilling number - The Witching Hour!

Sporadic flares of genius, a history of dysfunction, neurotic skeptic, just another white rapper who never made it and never expected to.
