Begin Again feat. Emily Coy & Paploviante

Cast of Characters:
xian3-- @xian3 – vocals, lyrics, and beat programming
Holger Engel—bass
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- guitar, mix, and production
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)-- @josh-clary-1 – lead guitar, organ, and synth
 
This song started when Xian and Holger came up with the rhythm section. Xian reached out to me about adding some guitar and keys. I happily accepted and added some electric guitar, organ, and synth. Once I was done, I sent it back to Xian, who added his excellent vocals. Tez also added some subtle, yet thrilling psychedelic guitar to it, too, before producing and mixing it for us. 
  During a little odyssey Xian recently undertook, he came across this snippet of text, from which the lyrics were drawn, in the Museum of Literature in Dublin. It's from "Ulysses" (1923) by James Joyce (1882-1941) and he liked it immediately. The passage can be found in the episode "Cyclops", in which the novel's hero, Bloom, opposes division and prejudice.
  This is the first time Xian has collaborated with Tez and me, but we hope it won't be the last. Xian is everything we could ask for in a collaborator. He presented me with a really solid, but very open song, let me do my thing, and added more greatness to finish it off. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.
Lyrics to Alf And Bloom:

(But it’s no use) …

(- What? says Alf) …     

But it’s no use says he
Force, hatred, history
All that
That’s not life 
For men and women,

(- What? says Alf) …

Insult and hatred
And everybody knows that
It’s the very opposite of that
That is really life.

- What? says Alf
- Love, says Bloom

(- What? says Alf)
(- Love, says Bloom)

(- Love)

Lyrics: 
My old notebook,my youth poems  Thinking no one was the same
 forgotten moldy in a chest
Never found lips to decline

My old canvases full of greys  No one else was able to paint
 Moldy forgotten unfortunate
 Never found eyes to contemplate

Suddenly  No more grey (just Pink)
I claim  It was A sunny day (summer day) You came
 That day (What a day)
 I saw  in your eyes
my legacy  was you. 

(My) life has never been the same since the day you came
only see the sun shining through the rain since the day you came

 My footsteps in the sand,  a land that no one could step on 
erased by the ocean tide,
 no one could ever follow them

Suddenly No more grey (just Pink) I claim  It was A sunny day (summer day) You came  That day (What a day)
I saw  in your eyes
my legacy  was you.

(My) life has never been the same since the day you came
only see the sun shining through the rain since the day you came

Just look into the sand when the sea retires
where a path is laid indelible Like a guide 
A path for your steps to follow
If one fine day you decide to do so.

The Whole Bunch Back Home

Always A Perfect Day
In a world of unrest, war and forced overtime. Life can get so heavy it weighs you down. Come plug in to a world of peace and tranquility. Where no matter the news or weather, every day is a perfect day.
Sposored by B.R.A.I.N.
( Breach Recondite Artificial Intelligence Network)
Lyrics,
No worries 'bout the weather
That's what everyone will say
Clouds or rain or warm sunshine
Always a perfect day

Hear the buzzing in the air
From electric power lines
The vibe will pulse right through your feet
Bringing comfort your mind

I came here in a troubled time
And lost the will to leave
With nothing in my pockets
No aces up my sleeve

I faded to the background
A sinking boat still mored
Hypnotized by rhythmic waves
Until totally absorbed 

Floating in a real live dream
This is where you get away
Let go the world that brought you here
That's the only price you'll pay

Connect your own paradise
If you come here plan to stay
Lose your mind come rain or shine
Always a perfect day

Always A Perfect Day

Good Cop Bad Cop.


They're playin with my head.

Yeah I could say most anything
You twist my words and throw them back at me
It doesn't really matter what I say
You'll draw your own conclusions anyway

Good cop, bad cop.

No mater how it looks or what I say
They're coming out all wrong, my words today
Made up your mind about the way this goes
It's juxtapose if the truth be told.

Good cop bad cop
Playing with my mind.

Yeah I could say most anything
You'll mince it up and bake your lies with it
A recipe for imoral gain
Targets met, bad cop at the reins

Good cop bad cop
Make it stop.

Good Cop Bad Cop.  (Voice of Logan collab).

Winds of change were blowing 
People’s anger kept on growing
Revolution was in the air
But King Louie didn’t seem to care

Inside the walls of Versailles
Everything was going fine
Outside people were starving
While the King Louie drank his wine

Let them eat cake 
Don’t care about the little people’s problems
Centuries have passed but the sentiment’s still the same

Royal blood flowing through his veins
When he faced that guillotine It must have felt so strange

History is written by the victors
And if you’re on the losing side
You could be Dr. Jekyll 
But they’ll say you were mister Hyde

Food clothing and shelter, People have basic needs
Better take care of satisfying them 
Before you move onto other deeds

Let them eat cake 
Don’t care about the little people’s problems
Centuries have passed but the sentiment’s still the same

Kings no longer control us we extinguished that flame
Now the corporations rule
We’re pawns in a  shell game

They give us our cake and we eat every single crumb
And they’re hoping it prevents the next revolution

Let Them Eat Cake

So… I have sang a lot of things in my 30 some years… never in my life have I done a cover for a country song, but I love this one  so much. So as requested by my best friend… I give you my vocal interpretation of How Far Will We Take It - a duet sung by the avant- guard Noah Cyrus and the equally talented and theatrical Orville Peck. The vocals are 100% mine, so is the mixing,  but all the credit goes to the authors. The song is totally not posted for commercial distribution, but rather a tribute to the talent of those  vastly superior at this than me ….  Enjoy.
