In his final days,my father vividly saw things which obviously weren't there. He was otherwise sound of mind,so this was very odd. That's when I found out about Charles Bonnet syndrome.

Charles Bonnet syndrome causes a person whose vision has started to deteriorate to see things that aren't real.

The hallucinations may be simple patterns, or detailed images of events, people or places.

They're only visual and don't involve hearing things or any other sensations.

It's important to be aware that hallucinations associated with Charles Bonnet syndrome are caused by failing eyesight. They're not caused by a mental health problem or dementia.

People with Charles Bonnet syndrome are usually aware that the visions aren't real, even if they're vivid.
There are 2 main types of hallucination that people with Charles Bonnet syndrome tend to experience.

They may see:

simple repeated patterns
complex images of people, objects or landscapes
Simple repeated patterns can take the form of grids, shapes or lines, which can appear in bright or vivid colours. The patterns may lay across or cover everything the person sees.

More complex hallucinations can involve people, places, animals and insects.


There's a great big dog
Outside my window
Why he's alone,I really don't know
I can see him there
Plain as the day

There's a small bird there
On my windowsill
If you look really hard
He's there still
I can see him there
Plain as the day

I think they're trying to kill me
But I don't really mind
I long to be free
To be unconfined
I can see it now
Plain as the day

I see myself with your mother
On a golden afternoon
No wheelchair to roll me
My legs still below me
I hope it happens soon

Are you a fixed star of unknown location
Strumming a particle guitar celestial creation
Are you the beat of a solar storm, travelling earthbound
Of elemental form worshipping sun dog
To the sounds of the whistling sun

Strumming a particle guitar

Are you a shooting star
In an absent moon sky
Dancing past Jupiter and Mars
Through a billion and one stars
Are you the s e e ds of a 
Cosmic explosion
The pulsing beat 
Of a supernova

Strumming a particle guitar
Whistling son, is that you I hear?
Son? Is that you?
Strumming a particle guitar

Lyrics:
Floating down, through the clouds
Memories come rushing up to meet me now
But in the space between the heavens
And the corner of some foreign field
I had a dream
I had a dream
Goodbye Max, goodbye Ma
After the service, when you're walking slowly to the car
And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air
You hear the tolling bell and touch the silk in your lapel
And as the teardrops rise to meet the comfort of the band
You take her frail hand
And hold on to the dream
A place to stay, enough to eat
Somewhere, old heroes shuffle safely down the street
Where you can speak out loud about your doubts and fears
And what's more, no one ever disappears
You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door
You can relax on both sides of the tracks
And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
And everyone has recourse to the law
And no one kills the children anymore
No one kills the children anymore
Night after night, going 'round and 'round my brain
His dream is driving me insane
In the corner of some foreign field
The gunner sleeps tonight
What's done is done
We cannot just write off his final scene
Take heed of the dream
Take heed

The Gunner's Dream (Pink Floyd Cover)

Peaceful Days

This original ode to the desert night highway brings two lovers together in the splendor of the stars. The silent expanse inspires their moment of passion.

Lyrics:  Whispers and Wishes  (a.k.a "Was I Insane")

Black desert night... 
Dotted lines flashing white
Straight is the road 
The mountains like ghosts
And you're ever by my side…

The highway just wails
The stars form a veil
That shimmers and calls
‘till we give it pause 
And break a silent sky

Chorus:  
Your hands in mine..
Hearts that entwine..
Soft moans and kisses..
Whispers and Wishes.
That shatters the deep… 
That shatters the deep of the night.

(instrumental solo)

Chorus:  
Your hands in mine..
Hearts that entwine..
Soft moans and kisses..
Whispers and Wishes.
That shatters the deep… 
That shatters the deep of the night.
That Shatters the deep of the night..

Whispers and Wishes

The Time I Nearly Disappeared

The backing is a layered series of experiments in creating textures, primarily using the Noire piano. Helen then improvised a vocal performance we might describe as a dreamlike stream of ideas and motifs. After some initial hesitancy wondering what it was we were creating, we decided we rather liked the end result and thought we'd share it to the cloud.

Project 8

This old song is my first version that "AcidFlashback" was remixed from >> https://soundcloud.com/martyn-r-jacobson/acid-flashback <<

In this song I played with the "SonicFoundry AcidPro" tutorial to make a song on it's DAW (Like shorting the name to "Acid" - hehehe)

SonicFoundry said the loops on the CD are royalty-free, I saw nothing excluding their Acid tutorial - hehehe

Fly In The Sky

Wake up, Neo!

The matrix has you,
it’s all around you

It owns everything
that you think you are

It feeds on your 
life force

Take the red pill 
then you’ll see

it’s all just a 
machine made dream

Flush the pod and
Flee the bots

You’re no longer a
Copper top

The nutrient slop
Doesn’t taste bad

When you realize
That you’ve been had

The matrix, it
Doesn’t own you
 
You are not its
slave

Once you know
the truth inside you

You are the one!

Who else could it be?
Whoa, I dunno!

You are the one!
Who, me?

Don the shades
and do cart wheels

Dodge the bullets,
They aren’t real

Remember there’s
No spoon at all

Just have faith, 
then you won’t fall

Now you’ve got those 
kung-fu tricks

Triple spin-kick
Agent Smith

And know that 
you will never fall

Cause true love,
it conquers all

It’s time to wake up now!

And know that you’re the one!

Wake up now, wale up!

I know jujitsu?
I know kung fu?
I stop bullets with my hand?
Was that the same cat?
My girlfriend wears leather pants?
I can fly like Superman?

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
