Very melancholy, I think something very sad inspired this and I think it comes across very well.

This is the first track off an upcoming album of mine, and by upcoming I of course mean I have no idea when it'll be out. The track is called 2244, and the album is called Neurotypical Empire Vol 1: 2244. The album is the most complicated musical project I've ever worked on, and it's inspired by the fact that two years ago I realized I was autistic, so the album is a sci-fi concept album, involving quite a lot of time travel and quite a lot of multiverse, about the treatment by society of autistic people. I wish I could give a more definite timeline on when the rest of the album will be finished, but thanks to a lot of good friends of mine who gave me really good advice on the production and vocals (I'm very new to singing), the first track is now complete. So here it is, 2244!

Coming out of lockdown song. 
Leon Carter on drums, Charlie Villiers on bass, Dave Toolan on guitar, and I’m on the acoustic and singing.

Into The Light

So the album I've been working on for quite some time Neurotypical Empire Vol I 2244, is alas, still nowhere near completion. So I've decided to release a second song from it that is fully complete, called Memories Of The Invasion. In this song, we are introduced to the Neurotypical Empire, and how they will stop at nothing to make everybody identical to them and destroy all individuality and difference, and the terrible sacrifice that had to me made to stop them.

Memories Of The Invasion

Our narrator, now known as the Citizen Pluto, finds himself in a post-apocalyptic future, 3 light years from the sun out in the Oort cloud, reflecting on the nature of humans; mass-shootings, the climate crisis, nuclear war and the mutually assured destruction pact that we were balanced on like a razor's edge. Ashes, ashes, we all fell down.

Circling the sun with a belly full of rum
And I’m certain that I’m doomed
All my friends have left me, there’s nobody except me
And the torture, the murder on the news

I’m out of my mind, I’m out of your mind
There’s really nothing I can do
Oh to be consoled by a blanket in the cold
And to sleep, sleep next to you

Laser guided bombs, helpless weeping moms
clutching lifeless cocoons
War between the nations for countless generations
I’m nauseous despite the Prussian blue

You’ve been on my mind for such a long time
while the space between us grew and grew

Radio Transmissions of corporate ammunition
over and over and over and over and over…

Intercepted instructions from a culture
I don’t understand anymore, but I can’t escape the gore
Even at 99 percent of the speed of light they find me

Propaganda from the dead hand
radiating from my screen
Interfering with my radio
Interfering with my dreams

(Radio Chatter)

You’ve been on my mind for such a long time
But it’s nothing more than Deja vu
Mutual assured destruction was preferred
and ashes ashes, we all fall down

08. Citizen Pluto
