@kdb-1: thanks! the music in this is personally one of my favorite of Stephen's works. I was very inspired by it. I remember that I had conceived the melody for this months before I came up with lyrics to fit it properly.

@kdb-1: thank you so much! that is the goal...that is why i keep making music!

this personal texture is really quite effective. I like it better when your voice isn't always effected and doubled. Let us hear you naked, man. Its glorious.

always creative...This piece is really succeeded, I find!

i knew that was coming....reminds me of tv on the radio! it's kind of like you are diving deep and then coming up for air.

...and there of us who find fx thrilling. regardless, your voice is amazing!

WOW .. CREATIVITY , LOVE YOUR SOUND, Live without resistance,
Without judgement,
Without attachment

Some piano parts with fx inspired from the walks I've been taking lately

This is a rhythmic collage of vocal samples I took from a couple of rehearsals with a church band here in Dallas. The worship leader has a unique way of vocalizing rhythms and making all kinds of cool sounds, all of which lends itself well for a remix.

It's like a fellow I once knew in El Paso. One day, he just took all his clothes off and jumped in a mess of cactus. 
I asked him that same question, "Why?"...He said, "It seemed to be a good idea at the time."

'In Control' is the first single off DOLLS + Fauxplay's album EAT IT UP  - check the video HERE https://youtu.be/DajUghB3TZE and you can buy the track on iTunes, Bandcamp, Tidal, Amazon, Google Play (pretty much everywhere). If you like it, please share + actually _buy_ the music...  Support Indie, because it's the sexy thing to do. Come find me on Twitter/IG/FB @dollsxx

With 80's electro bass and hooky synth lines, 'In Control' darkly drives a catchy déja-vu backdrop for DOLLS' trademark lyrical juxtaposition - this time threatening listeners with a gritty, but blasé kind of true love.

In Control (DOLLS + Fauxplay)

This song explores themes of being lost or at the end of your rope, dealing with said mindset, and eventually accepting where you are in order to move on or move forward.

a little pea under my bed / the doors are never closing / this is not a drill / and if it seems imposing / i'm sorry child / you cannot stand still / a little pea under my bed / rendering my nights sleepless / and hear the beckon / the call / if your waiting / you will fall into / the holes in forever / it's happened before / but don't worry / you are not that frail / why are you hiding / crept in while the door was open / let myself in / lied down in the bed you slept in / lied in your bed / pictured myself as you are / and saw myself / never losing track of time / as you did / counted clothes inside your closet / scared terrapin / took inventory of your wallet / cover your head / left nothing outside it's place / turn yourself in / walked out the same way i came in / an island / a little pea under my bed / rendering my nights sleepless / a little pea under my bed / a little dragon in my head / I know this feels important / but you realize / that you cannot win / but nothing has to happen this way / if you wanted you could turn these sands / into a river...

Pieces

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."
