Shot Glass Philosophy - John Albert

What's this I'm feeling in my soul?
Under a solid stone, a moonlit night, just me and my bones 
Face up at the bottom of some hole
In a place just big enough for me to lie very still eternally but

Nothing ever seems to be what I suppose and It’s never true, whatever I know.
When everything I thought I had was just deceiving, like visions from a long time ago
Then maybe I’ll be alright, after all...

Who swings the needle in my head?
That leads me to an unknown point in time when I’ll fall down dead.
Like old leaves dropping from the sky
I’ll just float around awhile and then be swept in a pile or lost to the wind but

No road ever leads to where I want to go, and there's nothing there that I'll ever know.
And every memory of my past is more defeating than the last one that my eyes will be shown.
I guess that's why I'm right here all alone...

Do you seek the meaning of life?
You either work or sleep, it's all a dream, you’re born then you die.
Somewhere in the middle there’s time.
Time to get betrayed and kicked in the face, but you’ll be alright.

Don’t forget to die and life ain't worth living if you can't even feel when your numb.
Nothing can be done, you won't be forgiven, and you won't even know when you're gone.
But just remember only time marches on...

I made this to talk about the bubbly stuff in a jazzy way. Scanted my way through the beat as though I had a drink.  Also, watch the new music video for the song "Confused" which will be out soon. https://youtu.be/RtC4CqbUKw8

Dedicated to my husband and all of the walking wounded. You are seen. You are loved. There is always hope. 
To those who are still waiting. It is ok to grieve the loss of the living. There is more loss in war than just death. Keep loving them.

Sitting quiet, how time flies.
There was once a time I held your eyes.
You went away, though you came home.
I wish I'd known I'd still be alone.

(Chorus)
6093 miles
That's what's keeping you away from me.
6093 miles
Is where that war took you from me.

Your silent cries I hear at night.
On your face I see your fight.
No rest for those who lost for peace.
I fear your battle may never cease.

(Chorus)

I'm still here
Still waiting for you
Hoping someday you'll return
What else would I do?
I still love you!

(Chorus)

I pray that God will set you free!

6093 Miles

An orange golden sunset at an almost empty beach. 
It is the moment when the women divers of Jeju Island, 
the Haenyeo, are on their way home. Tired but happily 
carrying their catch on their shoulders. 

It was a long day, it is a hard life, but all is well. 
`Cause we did good. 

That`s the “JeJu Jam”

In one sentence, Slayer meets industrial.

Revolution is a typical 80's thrash metal song with a modern twist. Those who lived that era will recognize several references to numerous bands:
(1) The main riff and the complex cadence of the vocals are inspired by Slayer's Haunting the Chapel;
(2) The main riff is also inspired by Destruction's Bestial Invasion;
(3) The riff during the break in the middle of the song is inspired by the break from Slayer's Piece By Piece;
(4) The siren is a reference to Escape by Metallica;
(5) The guitar solo is inspired by the solo from Megadeth's Piece Sells... But Who's Buying;
(6) The explosion at the end of the song is a reference to the explosion heard at the end of Metallica's Fight Fire With Fire.

There are other references, of course, but you'll have to look for the rest yourself. :-)

The guitars are from the VST plugin for Kontakt called Shreddage 3 Rogue. It's the best distorted guitar library I've experienced to date.

The synthesized vocals are from the Solaria voice package produced by Eclipsed Sounds for Dreamtonics' Synthesizer V software. There are free lite versions of Synthesizer V and Solaria's voice on the Dreamtonics website:

I hope you enjoy the track.

Lempi - 2023 Version

Multi genre multi instrumentalist Chad Rubin produces and writes a track after meeting the love of his life as his world starts to make sense. A touring musician and signed recording artist, chad has finally begun to find meaning and make sense of this crazy ride we're all on through his work and his relationships which seem to make everything else seem a bit less.. urgent.  
a 3rd party review: A love song with rare depth and an exceptionally unique arrangement, ‘Urgency’ is a romantic indie-pop gem.  It was written immediately after the artist met his future wife - a moment when everything else felt insignificant in comparison.  Over an ethereal, guitar based arrangement, he delivers a warm performance, reminiscent of Ben Gibbard or Jason Mraz. The intricate vocal melody is as intricate as any classical composition.

Urgency

words & music - David Gilmour, Anthony Moore

Lead / backing vocals: Deanna Finn

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand

Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away

It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting its shroud
Over all we have known

Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud

On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite in a silent accord

Using words, you will find, are strange
Mesmerised as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night

No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside

Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?

Fed up! Fed up!

The tv is lying to you
and your government too
not to mention your school
treating us like fools
oh pay your tax and bills 
of smoking on the moon
hurry for your fast food
only to change your mood
of all these wars and cries
i dont know how to shoot
oh never under my roof
judgment is coming soon
again im not on time
no more no more wine
to see the children cry
no more no more lies

because of you! im gonna change my life!
and all with you! its gonna be allright!
