I Love The Night (Blue Oyster Cult)

An artifact from 1984, we (me, Jay Woodward and Mike Csendes) were known as Alliance in the 80's around Seattle. Some other schmucks stole our name.

Les Claypool, Glen Tipton and Alex Van Halen - step off, bitches. Or sure, just stand there smirking, whatever.

Caging The Beast

Storyteller John Enga decants a powerful tale about a mountain climber's journey up the mountain to the peak. Tragedy strikes on the way back down, and the last thing the protagonist sees is a vision of his wife smiling at him as he drifts away.

Blue Crush

Small Town Jam

Cover of Rush's Freewill from Permanent Waves, 1980. Remixed on Presonus Studio One. Now with Eventide! Can't sound like Alex without it.

I recorded this because it seemed like a skill-testing challenge, and it sure was. I've loved this song since I was 13 and heard Permanent Waves for the first time. Being able to cover this magnificent song was one of the pinnacles of my 45+ years as a musician.

Freewill (Rush)

Lying on the cold floor  
Of a darkened room 
Surrounded by no voices 
And the smell of no perfume 

My head is full of emptiness 
My face is drawn in stone 
I can’t stay here 
But I can’t go home 

I do not know the meaning 
And I cannot ride the flow 
I can’t discern the outcome 
Or which way I want to go 

Air of toxic gasses 
And the water tastes of lye 
Each moment writhes and passes 
In this fragment of a lie 

Each day is cloaked in sadness 
And my will cannot defeat 
My underlying madness 
And my rootless grasping need 

The sun has lost its color
And the light is cold and grey 
I am buried in the ashes 
Of each endless day 

Going home, but I’m going home
Buried in the ashes

Where is the light of starshine 
The sky is black and burnt 
The rapture isn’t coming 
And there’s nothing more to learn 

I wander through the darkness 
Completely lost my way 
Sleepwalking through my exile 
Until I fade away 

I remember running 
In the joy of innocence 
Each minute spanned a lifetime 
And my love was my defense 

Oh, I would not have chosen 
To turn away and roam 
I just want to remember 
The way to get back home 

Going home, but I’m going home
Buried in the ashes

Each day is cloaked in sadness 
And my will cannot defeat 
My underlying madness 
And the voice of my conceit 

The sun has lost its color
And the light is cold and grey 
I am buried in the ashes 
Of each endless day 

Going home, but I’m going home
Buried in the ashes

Verse 1
Good days gone down by the wayside
Strange days come buzzin in the beehive
So back off Jack 'cause you don't do much
You're playing a hand with a busted flush
You come on strong but you talk so tough
But you won't be back tomorrow

Chorus
Got no call for all this noise
Drag up a chair and hear my voice
You got your plans but you're full of doubt
Fuck around and you will find out
You'll get rekt

Verse 2
Trade on fear and disappointment
Like a king you make your appointments
So fuck off Jack cause your hands are filled
With ill-gotten gains and the blood you've spilled
You come on strong but you're just a shill
For the bad men riding horseback

Chorus
Got no call for all this noise
Dig out your ears, listen to my voice
You get all mad, you can scream and shout
Fuck around and you will find out
You been rekt

Chorus
Got no call for all this noise
Drag up a chair, listen to the boyz
You get all mad, you can scream and shout
Fuck around and you will find out
You'll get rekt

This track is a cover of the Mike Oldfield song of the same name. The man is an underappreciated genius in my opinion and this is a thank you for all the great music in his catalog.
