Truth…
by Anton Etch 2022
- a rough demo from the 'Simple & Strange' series -

Truth comes in flashes
snapshots and ashes
rises like a phoenix
floats to your ceiling
shimmers and hovers
at four in the morning
truth comes in flashes
from fragments forming

Truth appears
it's not excavated
it can't be figured
or cooked or created

Truth emerges
in surprising places
the howling vagrant
and unsafe spaces

Truth isn't born
fully formed
you have to glean it
from shards ‘n storms

Truth waits
It delivers no warning
reveals itself
to those in mourning

Truth doesn't care
who the hell you are
what you drive
pauper or czar

Truth is earned
it can't be bought
you have to want it
more than what you got

Truth comes in flashes
in rags and in patches
the daughter of time
slow as molasses 
or quick as quicksilver
in sparks and splashes
in fragments and facets
in mixes and mashes

Truth is the last
guest at the weddin'
sits at the back
foldin' a napkin

…less in words 
more in actions
never shouts 
ignores the factions

…tip of a hat
tap of a finger
there's truth in
the voice of the singer

Truth in 
the barkin' dog
the wasp sting
the walk in the dark

Truth lurks 
in the shadows
it stalks
your tomorrows

You can try 
forever to avoid it
deny, defy,
or blindfold it

The enemy 
of fantasy
the surrender 
of hope...

...truth is 
no story.
It doesn't need 
glory

Truth comes in flashes
snapshots and ashes
rises like a phoenix
floats to your ceiling
shimmers and hovers
at four in the morning
truth comes in flashes
from fragments forming

Truth...

Trying to Hide

Doesn’t show in your face
doesn’t show in your eye
it lies beneath
comes in disguise
you had it coming
you’ve picked your side
all your failures sum up
to one fatal prize

it’s what you’re trying to hide
what you’re trying to hide
what are you trying
are you trying to hide
what are you trying
are you trying to hide

you just stand there
petrified
now in clear view
what you can’t deny

it’s what you’re trying to hide
what you’re trying to hide
what you’re trying to hide
what are you trying
are you trying to hide
what are you trying 
are you trying to hide

you just stand there
petrified
what are you trying
are you trying to hide
what are you trying 
are you trying to hide

Trying To Hide

An upload for a friend. I was discussing voice leading and chord voicing.

This is Why Chord Voicing is Important!!!

A big thank you to all my followers, likers, reposters for their support I sincerely appreciate you all. I’m so proud this composition has reached the Soundcloud New & Hot Classical Charts sitting at No.7 on 21.3.2022.

Music is the vapour of art.
It is to poetry what
reverie is to thought, what
fluid is to solid, what the
ocean of clouds is to the
ocean of waves.  - Victor Hugo -
