Listen and weep, so beautiful, Jonas Goslow.

Moss On A Stone

Mystery thriller

While I'm trying to figure out what to do, where to go next on the song I'm working on, I decided to make something else, so I wasn't sitting around doing nothing.
(Gotta stay active in my music!)
So, I created this: Monophobia.
The only instrument used was a Magnus Diamond.
I sang and programmed the drums.

Lyrics:
I stand outside
And I look in,
Full of fear,
And wondering if or when
Will I ever find
Someone for me?
Or will I keep
Waiting until eternity

Some days, most days
I feel like an outcast
Because I'm scared to be alone
And I just wanna outlast
All my fears and doubts
Because there's so many routes
Away from me.
So are you listening?

But if I'm speaking truth,
I don't deserve you
Because I'm not in a place
To do the things that I should do
But still inside
I can't help but wonder why
I've been given all these passions
And I know I want to try
To be a father to children I adore
And there's so much more
But could this recluse ever find someone to be with until the end of time?

Monophobia

Tom Waits (on Jim Wilson): "Wilson, he's always playing with time. I heard a recording recently of crickets slowed way down. It sounds like a choir, it sounds like angel music. Something sparkling, celestial with full harmony and bass parts - you wouldn't believe it. It's like a sweeping chorus of heaven, and it's just slowed down, they didn't manipulate the tape at all. So I think when Wilson slows people down, it gives you a chance to watch them moving through space. And there's something to be said for slowing down the world."
