Streamline Light

David Z. a.k.a. @BlackMarketBrains and I previously collaborated on one other track that I have posted to my page (After the Bomb), and a handful of tracks that he has posted to his page (3 different remixes of a work in progress from me called Metallic, and a response to my open collab, Social Fabric)...

I'm happy to share this new one that I developed based on an open collab of his called Doc Avalanche Goes BeatBeatBeat! https://soundcloud.com/blackmarketbrains/doc-avalanche-goes-beatbeatbeat-open-collab

I love the original title but chose to simplify it a little bit. 

Hopefully more to come from the two of us!

Silence After

Collab with Her Musical Highness Damga, based on a sequence of melancholic chords and an Electric Piano bridge.
Lyrics:
"Waves of Isolation, I sink in the ocean of your venomous dreams.
In the cold dark water, I wake up to the beauty of your abyss.
There is a shark looming from the depth. 
My lateral line sense its fluid moves, as I crave for his kiss.

Waves of evolution, I emerge from the amniotic fluid of time.
I walk on the primordial sea shore, toward the dereliction of dawn.
Your crawling monsters follow my footprints on the dark sand.
I cherish my last scales and the iridescent mark they’ve drawn.

Waves of civilization, the ancient realm rise from the ground.
I ride the marble streets followed by soldiers and priests.
The glory of my victorious spear shines in the dawn of civilization.
Following my undefeated army, come the prisoners and the beasts.

Waves of emotion, I shiver under your photonic chords
Lost in the maze of counterpoints, I behold the astral serenity  of your hymn.
Sensual melodies electrify my spine and linger on my lips
I bite in the flesh of sounds, bath in the fragrance of rhythms

Waves of sublimation, triumphant and aroused, I wake up from your dream.
Your body besides me is warm and still,  gently breathing in a silver slumber.
I curl up in your warm naked strength and savor the scent of your skin.
An the night flowers, heavy with dew, weep for desire, drop by drop silently."

Waves Of Sublimation (Damga & HyLGZ22)

Cast of Characters:
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell –electric piano, synth and original seed 
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–guitar, mix, and production
K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez– Guitar
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –five-string fretless bass guitar
The Eclectic Collective – composition

 This song began with JJ, as many of our songs do, who composed the outline on the keys, drums, and bass. He then let everyone else in on it immediately. Ken was first up to bat by laying his always cunning drums in there. After he had a beat to work with, Josh used his tree trunk of a five-string fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. Soon after, Tez and Stephen both laid their magical guitars in there. Once we had it all in the can, Stephen used his powers of production to give us a great mix.
  This one came together relatively quickly, which is a good sign that we're all enthusiastic about what we're creating. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

In the checkout line, in the checkout line, in the checkout line at Walmart

You picked the wrong line at Walmart and now it’s moving at a snail’s pace
The cashier’s taking his good old time He’s got a bored look on his face.
You went there for the low prices cause you don’t like to over spend
and now you’re trapped in a line that feels - like it’s never goanna end.

There’s days when you're going through life like a hot knife through butter
One second You’re on the top of the world and the next you’re lying in the gutter.

In the checkout line, in the checkout line, in the checkout line at Walmart.

You just want to scream, you just want to shout, you just want to let your true feelings out.
You make a silent plea, as you stand there quietly, please hurry up, you’ve had enough.

The cashier scans an item but there is no price.  He pushes a button to get some advice. 
It takes the manager five minutes to come. He walking real slow but  you wish he’d run

Every time you get in line, you’re rolling the dice you just don’t know
Whether or not you’re goanna speed on through
 or if it’s goanna move real slow

The self-checkout line is an option, but if you’re buying a lot of stuff
The space is limited, and the ergonomics are bad and bagging it yourself can be tough.

There’s days when you are going through life like a hot knife through butter
One second you’re on the top of the world and the next you’re lying in the gutter

You try to be nice, you don’t want to be a jerk
You realize they’re just trying to do their work
Cause life can be tough, minimum wage is rough
But sometimes you feel like you’ve had enough
