Good sound on all levels, cool lyrics too. Thanks for teaching me the word aster. Will def work it into a lyric.👍

Nice arrangement and production, sweet track :)

A phone call with someone in a bad mood, whom you try in vain to cheer up, someone who is very important to you. That's what the song is about.
Gloomy Day
She: "You are so silent. You are so silent."
He: "I feel so strange today".
			                She: "What can I do?"
He: "Nothing can take that away."
			                She: "I’d like to help you."
He: "Today I feel sad."
		                        She: "You wanna stay in bed!?"
He: "Nothing can help me."
		                         She: "Why not? Let’s see."
He: "Everyone makes me mad."
		                          She: "Shall I bring you a cat?"

He: "I wanna be alone."
		              She: "Please stay on the phone!"
He: " I wanna be alone."
		              She: "Please stay on the phone!

		              What to do to help you, what to do to help you?"

He: "Everything is doll."
		                         She: "Why not go for a stroll?"
He: "I wanna stay at home."
		                          She: "You should not be alone!"
He: "I need time on my own."
		                           She: "I let you alone."
He: "I have to sort a few things."
		                           She: "Don’t have to many drinks!"
He: "I will stay sober."
		                           She: "Is it the dark October?"
 
He: I’ll phone you tomorrow."
		               She: "I hope without sorrow!"
He: "Now we should hang up."
		               She: "I love you a lot!"
He: "Now we should hang up."
		               She: "I love you a lot!
		               I love you a lot!"

Resung, remixed and remastered from almost four years ago.

This is a clash of psychology with science, and, well, early The Cure meets Bowie's Scary Monsters. It's easy to be close to somebody and still not be seen or heard no matter how loudly you speak. Mixed all this up with some actual invisibility science, so believe it or not, in terms not being seen this song stands on solid physics, until it doesn't....

BEND THE LIGHT

You see me
You look through me
You hear me
Can you hear me?

You’re blinded by your reflection
I’m invisible in the shadow of your glow

I absorb you
I deflect you
I’m a scientific wonder
My surface is cool
My paint is dark
A massive anomaly
A singularity
A Nobel prize in disguise
I’m in disguise

You’ve got the angle
You could be near or far
On any wavelength
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light

I wait for you
You walk by me
I’m a meta material
New spectrum
No infrared
I’m headed to the Blue Hall
A Nobel prize in disguise
I’m gonna be famous
I’m gonna be famous

You’ve got the angle
You could be near or far
On any wavelength
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light

You bend the light
But I’m gonna be famous
You bend the light
And I’m famous

Psychedelic Reality Check

Life is amazing.  There's so much to enjoy.  This song is about a period of ones life that means solitude and the pleasure of introspection.  After a while things change and you find love,or maybe you don't.  Appreciate the various rocks we step on to cross the river.  

I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE
(c) JunkHeap Nov 07 2023

A song about eventually finding that love of your life.  Got to be patient.
---
Brushing my hand over aster leaves.
Goldenrod, and that pale sun tease.
Knowing I"m ok on my own.

The bluebird calls out in a city burb,
makes me think I'm much the same.
I wouldn't mind finding someone
to grow old with.

Well...
Sittin' by a fire, on a cold, cold day.
Holding hands and talking about anything.
Like they say, patience is a virtue.

Going through the everyday,
don't get me wrong, I love so much of it.
but it would be nice to find that special someone. 

I know you're out there.

I don't like the word 'alone', 
I prefer 'going solo'.
The tendrils of life,
behind the scenes, bring us together,
if you know what I mean.

When the world has so much to offer,
and we get caught up in minutia,
a simple kiss and the tenderness, 
it means everything.

Ya...

Sittin' on a misty lake, on a warm day.
Seeing that smile that says everything.
Knowing there's a deeper connection 
for both of us.

Taking on the everyday,
As the Earth, she spins away.
Just a brief time here,
lets make the most of it. 

I know you're out there.
