DISCONNECT 
(c) JunkHeap Jun 08 2021

Technology isn't all bad, this song just points out the dangers of it.

I spy with my little eye, impatience.
Right there, out of the corner, it's waiting.
Blood runs through our veins cold
when we have to slow our pace.

Standing in line...
when someones card declines the payment.
Traffic stopped bumper in my face.
Watching people lose it 
when their order isn't just right. 

Speeding bullet train called 'Progress'.
Human beings we stand motionless,
against the onslaught, 
we're losing our hearts.
Like a blood clot jammed in our brains.
It's such a god-damn shame.
It'll lead us down a path of no return.

Disconnect.  
I know you're listening.
Disconnect.  
What do you want me to say?

Something disconcerting in the theme here.
Techno-savvy CEOs with their dreams in
technicolour for you to believe in.
They say it so convincingly.

The poison fed to you, 
through their intravenous tube.

Speeding bullet train called 'Progress'.
Human beings we stand motionless,
against the onslaught, 
we're losing our hearts.
Like a blood clot jammed in our brains.
It's such a god-damn shame.
It'll lead us down a path of no return.

Disconnect.  
I know you're listening.
Disconnect.  
What do you want me to say?

Speeding bullet train called 'Progress'.
Human beings we stand motionless,
against the onslaught, 
we're losing our hearts.
Like a blood clot jammed in our brains.
It's such a god-damn shame.
It'll lead us down a path of no return.

Disconnect

The faceless, soulless capitalist cabal offers its sincerest condolences and apologies for monetizing life itself, but the apology is hollow and meaningless, falling upon decidedly unsympathetic ears.

How might it sound if our global corporate overlords offered their most lizard-heart-felt apologies for any "inconvenience" their greed and avarice have brought upon our lives? We think it might sound pretty insincere. You know, like a gaslighting apology: "We're sorry you feel that way." There may be an official apology "issued" but culpability is nowhere in sight.

This song started as an innocent and good natured attempt on our part to collaborate with Holy Shitshow @user-649412648 who provided the original piece months ago which inspired this whole crazy chain of events. 

Next thing we knew, it was this whole song and the raft had drifted pretty far away from collaboration island in the process. We still used the piece in the song, and we are grateful for HS to be a part of it in the end. We think it made for a great foundation and love the ambiance it provides to the whole song. Riunite on ice, that's nice!  https://youtu.be/_onOllDF2GY

We dig Holy Shitshow's music deeply, so please hear the original here and we hope you show some love their direction as well:

Legacy

No being can decay to nothing!
The eternal moves on in all,
In being keep you happy!
Being is eternal, because laws
Preserve the living treasures,
From which the universe is adorned.

The true was found long ago,
Has joined noble spirits;
The old true, touch it!
Owe it, son of earth, to the wise,
Who gave her to circle the sun,
And showed the sibling the path.

Immediately now turn inward,
The center you will find within,
Which no noble may doubt.
You will miss no rule there;
For the independent conscience
Is sun of thy moral day.

Then you have to trust your senses;
No wrong they let thee see,
If your mind keeps you awake.
With fresh eyes joyfully observe,
And walk safely as smoothly
Through meadows of richly gifted world.

Enjoy moderately filling and blessing;
Reason be everywhere present,
Where life rejoices in life.
Then past is constant,
The future ahead is alive,
The moment is eternity.

And at last thou hast succeeded,
And are you imbued with feeling:
What is fruitful, alone is true -
You test the general rule,
It will switch according to its way,
Join the smallest band.

And as of old, in silence,
A work of love according to his own will
The philosopher, the poet created,
So shalt thou obtain most fair favor:
For to prefigure noble souls
Is most desirable profession.

Vermächtnis

Kein Wesen kann zu Nichts zerfallen!
Das Ewige regt sich fort in allen,
Am Sein erhalte dich beglückt!
Das Sein ist ewig, denn Gesetze
Bewahren die lebendigen Schätze,
Aus welchen sich das All geschmückt.

Das Wahre war schon längst gefunden,
Hat edle Geisterschaft verbunden;
Das alte Wahre, faß es an!
Verdank es, Erdensohn, dem Weisen,
Der ihr, die Sonne zu umkreisen,
Und dem Geschwister wies die Bahn.

Sofort nun wende dich nach innen,
Das Zentrum findest du da drinnen,
Woran kein Edler zweifeln mag.
Wirst keine Regel da vermissen;
Denn das selbständige Gewissen
Ist Sonne deinem Sittentag.

Den Sinnen hast du dann zu trauen;
Kein Falsches lassen sie dich schauen,
Wenn dein Verstand dich wach erhält.
Mit frischem Blick bemerke freudig,
Und wandle sicher wie geschmeidig
Durch Auen reich begabter Welt.

Genieße mäßig Füll und Segen;
Vernunft sei überall zugegen,
Wo Leben sich des Lebens freut.
Dann ist Vergangenheit beständig,
Das Künftige voraus lebendig,
Der Augenblick ist Ewigkeit.

Und war es endlich dir gelungen,
Und bist du vom Gefühl durchdrungen:
Was fruchtbar ist, allein ist wahr —
Du prüfst das allgemeine Walten,
Es wird nach seiner Weise schalten,
Geselle dich zur kleinsten Schar.

Und wie von alters her, im Stillen,
Ein Liebewerk nach eignem Willen
Der Philosoph, der Dichter schuf,
So wirst du schönste Gunst erzielen:
Denn edlen Seelen vorzufühlen
Ist wünschenswertester Beruf.

Frei nach J. W. v. Goethe

How many time have you held the hand of the Devil and kissed his lips, traded your dreams for a pocket full of lies and what would you give to go back there and change that moment in time.....would you kiss the lips of the Devil again just one last time.....join me ....

The beast is my Les Paul  and i promised her that i would set her free in the new year , so being a man of my word here she is in all her glory...The beast kisses the devils lips...Its another fun song... Paly it loud if you really want to meet the Beast ...

Kiss The Lips Of The  Devil

We re-recorded a very old track that we used to play with our first Band "Suspicios tales" back in the 90s. Good memories come back. This one is sung in German! Give it a listen!

「怪獣がやってくる」
宇宙怪獣が地球にやってくる！世界中はパニックです。
子守歌を聴かせて眠らせる作戦を考えますが、
果たして成功するのか？！

"A monster is coming"
Space monsters are coming to Earth! The world is panicking.
I'm thinking of a strategy to listen to a lullaby and put it to sleep,
Will it succeed? !!

When Music Cries
From Prompt Writing 12/30/21

Comes from somewhere
Hidden deep... slow arise
Strings pull  beating heart
Spirit helpless pulled apart
Somewhere deep surprise

Meaning pulses strains aloud
Singing soulful lines  - comprise
Bowing phrases arc their point
Expressive faces tears anoint
Aloud .... when Music cries

Desperate tears... tears of joy
Come naturally to this boy
Practiced pluck of violins
Melody embrace - begins

Black and White Harmonize
Keys and Signature of Time
Music reaches most sublime
Aloud again when Music cries
