nice mate really nice love that reverb on the vocals

such an interesting track, music and lyric. Honestly I can't always follow the meaning of the lyric from line to line but it works for the song. Will check out more of your stuff.

I love it, and the album cover is soooo good, I adore this art of yours! [via https://sc.repostexchange.com]

Good vocals - you've got a nice voice. I like the vibe created by the tone of the rhythm guitar. Nice melodic lead guitar work. Also, the drums and production sound really good.

Loving your soothing oos. Get the vocals compressed and you nailed it!

I always love your songs. The stories are so intriguing. So commanding of attention. Your performance is so good, too. Really good! Yep! ❤️ ⁓Rebecca

which effects do you use (if I may ask) for vocals, reverb, delay...

Even sheep can step up above the flock if that's where they think they must be. But you have to pull out the stops.

Lyrics 
Part I:

Once, on a cold november day             - Thoughts only circling 'round this gray
Sittin' lonely on the railroad track     - 'til i met a lady with a paper bag

With a brand of a long forgotten store   - that i could only hardly remember
a store with lots small beautiful things - of arts and design
with some old records, movies and books  - you can’t buy anymore
told, how she loved browsing and shopping 'round there 
She kept that bag for all those years 
then she reached for the bag and smiles  - i'm sure I look like a fool

She said: "it's a ... download code for a memory from your soul"

which you can ...
...recall a memory from inside    - retrive old pictures from your life
some of them are very colourful   - others appear in black and white
It could be long forgotten impressions from your past
or the melody that once healed your broken heart
or the infinitive love - that you felt when you lie in your mothers arms

They were never really lost
Stored deep inside your mind
Waiting for a sign
When your senses will be crossed, assambled and combined

Hold on your treasures         - Always take care of them 
                                                 (never let them go) 
Keep all the precious thoughts - that are really important in your life
                                                 (let your feelings flow)
Lay down your worries          - Remember all, the good times of your life 
                                                 (listen to your soul)
Hold on                        - To your self

Part II

When i look into your eyes                           - I wish i could read whats in your mind
Imagine a flower that arise after the rain           - from a long sown seed that germinates again

The taste of a wild cherry, picked for yourself      - offside the road on your way
Reminds how much youu loved hanging upside down      - from your favorite tree.
So sweet as a kiss from an old love                  - under the stars on your tree.
where you wished together something                  - to a shooting star
But it never came true, but the stars you wished for - are already still there
if youu discover this one star again                 - your old love takes control

Shines like a ... download code for a memory from your soul"

Fadding out from SC while I share my music in my dreams

G.O.T.A.  (Alfonso Llorente Sardi)

Hey there, Billy, steady your hands
They call you a man, call you a man
Hey there, Billy, stay in the lines
I'm a special kind, a special kind

Hey there, Billy, I know you can
Avoid what you can do with these hands
Hey man, believe, this isn't forgone
Pull it along, pretend I belong

Circle the flames, eventually, you'll get burned
Hear my name, perpetually, forget what I learned

Hey there, Billy, I know it's hard
Restrain a river with your hands
Hey there, Billy, the current pulls
Buries the ground and pulls you down

Circle the flames, eventually, you'll get burned
Hear my name, perpetually, forget what I learned

The before, the after, the ripples in between
The before, the after, the ripples in between
The before, the after, the ripples in between
The before, the after, the ripples in between
The before, the after, the ripples in between (Don't you wanna see what these hands can do?)
The before, the after, the ripples in between (Don't you wanna see what these hands can do?)
The before, the after, the ripples in between (Don't you wanna see what these hands can do?)

Circle the flames, eventually, you'll get burned
Hear my name, perpetually, forget what I learned

Hey There, Billy

Mysterium

Flashover - Brian  Butts 💀 COMBSTEAD

you just have to dare to go deep down, then you will explore the cellar. From classic to synth

Ein Baum ragt vor mir meterhoch,
Mit starkem Stamm und Ehre,
Er rief zu mir sei so wie ich,
Und gehe in die stille Leere.

Ich tat wie ich mir aufgetan,
Und geh mit Ehre meinen Weg.
Die Stärke wächst in mir fortan,
Mit jedem Schritt auf diesem Steg.

Die Zeit zurück wird nimmer sein,
Was hab ich für ein Glück.

Caelum (Heaven)

"This short collection explores some of my deepest fears and darkest moments, and it's not particularly healthy, but it's a start. Comprising of four tracks, each depicting/exploring a different stage of my recent metal state.
I don't know if this exploration of the heart and mind is a musical direction I'm going to follow, but in a twisted sort of way I enjoyed the creation of these soundscapes and textures in an effort to portray a particular emotion or narrative, rather than making music for the sake of making music for the sake of headspace."

TLDR: My heads fucked, but I made some music, I am seriously grateful to anyone who's spares the time to give it a listen.

PROGRAM NOTES
In some ways, String Quartet No. 2 is similar to my String Quartet No. 1: the five movements are stylistically diverse, I use a few snippets of pre-existing music, and the music, while idiomatic, is technically demanding. As with my first quartet, this work explores technical and aesthetic ideas I didn’t have a chance to explore in other works.

The first movement, Colored Fields, is inspired by abstract expressionist painters such as Mark Rothko, Kenneth Noland, and Barnett Newman, but also pointillist painters such as Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. There are textures that emerge and submerge using articulations that gradually shift from soft to loud, or short to long, and there are a few transitions that utilize a technique I call pitch phasing or phase modulation, as opposed to tempo phasing. In these transitions, two or more instruments gradually modulate (raise or lower) notes, motives, or phrases by gradual, very refined, microtonal, non-chromatic increments, settling on new pitch areas that directly reflect the previous areas, just modulated up or town. The movement ends softly with a virtual desaturation of the rhythmic material. I remove notes, one by one, until there’s nothing left.

The second movement, Rigor Mortis, is inspired by a comic strip by David Lynch that newspapers ran for many years. In this strip, Lynch sketched a stressed-out, pitch-black dog, looking very mean and almost buzzing with anger; it looked like it was about to explode. Every strip began with an accompanying paragraph that read, “The dog who is so angry he cannot move. He cannot eat. He cannot sleep. He can just barely growl. Bound so tightly with tension and anger, he approaches the state of rigor mortis.” This made me envision musicians playing with such ferocity and tension that the music seems to eventually cancel itself out, anger imploding in on itself.

The third movement, Dolente, is sad, lush, and mournful. The only request I had when writing this quartet was to incorporate a Norwegian fiddle tune or theme by Edvard Grieg, so I chose themes from Grieg’s String Quartet No. 1. The form of this movement mimics the form of a song by Edvard Grieg’s entitled Spillemaend (Minstrels, or Fiddlers). The poem that Grieg set in 1876 as the first of Six Ibsen Songs (Op. 25) is based on the Norwegian folktale of the fossegrim, a male water spirit who could teach the art of violin-playing, but often at the price of personal happiness. In some versions of the story, the poor violinist drowns in the end. Like the song, and echoing the second movement, this movement beginning with the protagonist’s longing, his desire for the beloved. Next, he encounters the fossegrim, who promises that becoming a master of music will allow the protagonist to become master of his beloved. In the final stanza, the protagonist becomes a master fiddler, but he is now a cursed, wandering musician deprived of earthly love, so he drowns himself.

The humorous fourth movement, Scherzando, capitalizes on effects that at times, often make the string players sound inebriated. I make use of copious glissandi and tempos that fluctuate between 3/4 and 6/8, giving a sense of unease.

The final movement, Collage, is similar to the first movement in that it is inspired by the visual arts, and specifically, collage painting and works by surrealists. Many themes from the first four movements are brought together in this odd-metered movement.

String Quartet No. 2 commissioned by J. K. Billman and is written for and dedicated to the Euclid Quartet.
