Oto-Hime (The Dark Princess)

Coda:
The girl with the jet-black hair, she don't know you as well as you think,
Emeralds, diamonds, seduce your mind cos the flesh is weak.

Verse 1:
The future never-ending, yearning for a change,
But she don't know how and she can't avow, a stranger coming through the door.

Verse 2:
Tall, dark, and a face made-up, blackness in his soul,
She sees his heart, a life apart, destiny coming into view.

Chorus 1:
Dark Princess so patiently, privacy is her game,
With purple eyes, a wicked smile, innocence never came.

Verse 3:
Something to remember, a keepsake full of you,
A jewellery box, the memories lost, she gave it to you with a promise made.

Chorus 2:
Dark Princess, a shadow of me, the image don't suit her face,
Black mascara and modesty, her movement filled with grace.

Middle 16

Verse 4:
I know that you won't listen, I take it from your hand,
But the warning's clear and I don't fear, a hundred years with the turn of a key.

Chorus 3:
Dark Princess, the girl of my dreams, impossible to love,
She takes revenge, done nothing wrong, her virtues lay intact....

Dans ses meilleurs aspects, le Gris a hérité le côté élégant du Noir. Il peut être soigné et délicat et apparaître, intemporel …. Pouvant être une rhapsodie de lumière et d'ombre.
Le Noir apporte profondeur et caractère, tandis que le Gris adoucit l'ensemble, créant un équilibre subtil entre sobriété et élégance, souvent source inattendue d’éclat et de profondeur. 
Cette création musicale ici avec voix féminine, essaie d'en interpréter les distinctions et nuances ….

********************************************************************************************************************

In its best aspects, Grey has inherited the elegance of Black. It can be neat and delicate and appear timeless .... Can be a rhapsody of light and shadow.
Black brings depth and character, while Grey softens the whole, creating a subtle balance between sobriety and elegance, often an unexpected source of radiance and depth. 
This musical creation here with feminine voice, attempts to interpret these distinctions and nuances ….

Black & Grey ....

With many thanks to Cecilia for this open collab!!

NOT WANTED

ambient experimental introspective sound-warp texture stuff

mind scattered in a verse {recovered backup}

This year is the 50th anniversary of the ABC Movie of the week Trilogy of Terror- It was 3 chilling adaptions of 3 short stories written by the great sci fi author Richard Matheson. The late Karen Black ( not only a wonderful actress,she was also a great singer and songwriter) starred in all 3 of the features playing 4 characters.  As 12 year old kids of course we were the most horrified and terrified by the final story Amelia - a  story about  a demonic warrior doll that comes to life and starts attacking poor Ms. Black
here is a youtube link to Amelia the third story in the Trilogy of Terror ( 24 minutes)-https://youtu.be/hjr0ziHwraw

 Starts out pretty chill but the last 10 mins of that film were very intense for us in 1975 ..we kids couldn't sleep well for a few nights .. I wrote the song as an homage to the story/movie/Ms. Black ( she didnt really like the movie) as well as using the story as  metaphor for the demons that live in us all
my electric guitar playing scared the dog as usual
hope my silly song does not scare you too much
3 short clips from Amelia are spliced in there


Karen Black And That Creepy Doll Attack

The hunter and the hunted
The virtue and the sin
Inside of every creature
Light and dark reside in them

Zuni Hunter Fetish Doll
The puppet seeks its prey
That TV movie freaking out
Us kids back in the day

Trilogy of Terror
The duality of man
Unrestrained we let our monsters roam
On which side will you stand

The camera films a gruesome tale
Shag carpet bloody scenes
Kitchen knives and voodoo jive
A f$%ked up figurine

Karen Black
And that creepy doll attack
Wish I coulda been there
To pull it off her back
Karen Black
She ain't coming back
He who kills, all screech and shrill
Has got her mind hijacked

Break

The moral meets the message
Let fight defeat the fear
Repressed regret you can't forget
Like finger pricked by spear

She can't smother, drown or stab it
Or burn it up you see
When she locked it in a suitcase
It escaped eventually 

Take the hate from your heart
And turn it on its head
Or like the Zuni wooden doll
It hunts you down instead

Stand up against the doubters
Don't doubt the space you find
Ignore those dirty demon dolls
Who scream inside your mind

Ms. Karen Black
Why does she smile like that
Her Zuni fate, she sits in wait
Her Mama will get whacked
Karen Black
Such a creepy doll attack 
Quadruple billed her acting thrilled
My half century flashback

Karen Black
