Magnificent Life

Who Drained the Water (When you were drowning)

This might take a while she said with her quicksilver smile
I said, can you help me make it through another night?
She sighed and looked away
Yah, that just ain’t my style

You know which way to go, yet you want my free advice
(Well I guess that’s alright)
Will the sun pay the silver moon
to hang on to its light

Then she sighed and looked ahead
And this is what she said

Long distance runner
The horizons your finish line
Can you find the key to open up that door
Did you find what you are looking for?

It’s time for you to go
Gotta run your given mile
She said, you can lay down
Stare at stars with all your time
But soon enough you learn
Cause your eyes will start to burn.

You’re  looking for the truth and the answers to your why.
My oh my, there’s fact and fiction in the stories we all tell
But can you can find the line inside buried deep within the rhyme?

Long distance runner
The horizons your finish line
Can you find the key to open up that door
Will you find what you are looking for?

Can you outrun?
Can you outpace your time?
Find some peace of mind
Yahhhh - Yahhhh


Long Distance Runner

Old Flames Still Burn

Ever since I saw an incredible Canadian band (Recipe From a Small Planet) do a live Reggae jam and seamlessly slide into a cover of 'Watching The Detectives', I wanted to try something similar. In this case, I did the opposite, starting with the cover, and adding a kinda reggae/dub section at the end, which starts at 3:15. 

For the dub portion, I enlisted the help of one of the best talents I know - @Llanpsych (Tez) - to add his magic and 'dubbify' the whole instrumental section at the end. I'm singing and playing all the instruments here using my keyboard, and some echo effects, and Tez did the rest to produce that authentic dub atmosphere into the mix. I recommend listening to that part at least with headphones, and hope you enjoy the result! Thanks so much Tez, I couldn't have done this without your mad skillz!

Sharp ears may notice the following 2 details: 

  -  In the last few seconds, I threw in the theme from 'The Godfather', played on melodica (see credit below). 

  -  at 0:39, you can faintly hear my dog barking in the background. I decided to keep it in, since she barked at the line, "red dogs under illegal legs", which I thought was funny timing!  :)

INSTRUMENTS:
bass, drums, rhythm & lead guitar, organ, piano, electric piano, melodica, steel pan drums, ukulele, synth horns, voice

Stay a Long Time

Viltage is not a track. It’s a surge.
Born from analog circuits and restless instinct, it pulses with raw energy — where distorted arpegios tear through static air, and trance leads echo like signals from a forgotten future.

There is no soft landing here. Only voltage, resistance, release.
Each sound is sculpted, charged, and deliberately placed — designed to overwhelm, to elevate, to phuse with your nervous system.

You don’t listen to this.
You submit.

Viltage

Somewhere in the world, a Pixie Rabbit, the last of is species, is trying to escape from a forest lit by men…

Lyrics:
Staring down the alley of a shattered dream 
Pixie rabbit, runs with a needle gleam 
Cracks in her fur, smoke in her breath
 Dancing on the edge of love and death

She whispers lullabies to the shadows
Skips through scars, like stepping stones
Painted wings torn up in battles
But she still won’t, go home

Pixie rabbit, don’t you cry
The sky’s on fire, but you still fly
Falling stars and bloodshot nights
You're the myth they tried to hide

Pixie rabbit, don’t you break 
The world’s a lie, but you're awake 
Ashes kiss your velvet skin 
Born to lose, but wired to win

She’s got dirt and rust on her chains 
Stole her soul in the pouring rain 
Wolves in the mirror, teeth like sin 
But she laughs, lets the darkness in

Her heart's is halfway burned
 Her love’s a lesson never learned 
She sings to ghosts in empty bars 
Chasing them in the night and hiding scars

Run, little rabbit, run through the flame
 No one ever asked for your name 
You wear the silence like a crown 
Burn it all and burn it down

Pixie rabbit, fade to black 
Leave no trail, don’t look back
 In the night, you're just a spark 
A twisted tale in the dark

Pixie Rabbit (ft. celaeno)

I had a poem in my mind, but I couldn't find the words, so I made music.
