@young-steemy: i photoshopped an onion onto my friend and thought it was funny and fit for an album/brand... ive gotten acorn, peanut is a first XD

You manage to be catchy in a non 'make me feel queasy' way all the way thru. Rare feat.

I see you in this haunted dream
I see you when im on my knees
I feel you in the air
never, never be there
be there, be there, be there, be there
i see you when we're STAR HIGH
i see you when we close our eyes
I see you in the darkened night
never, never out of sight
be there, be there, be there, be there
I see you in this haunted dream
I see you when im on my knees
I feel you in the air
never, never be there
be there, be there, be there, be there

Star High

April 2021 Update:
After a year of aggressively working on music and honing my production skills I decided to return to this song and rerecord/remix it. I'm very happy with the result and I hope you all continue to enjoy it.

Past Description (2019)
A tune ive been working on over the past 3 years and I am very proud of the end result and whats to come. 

I hope you enjoy the tune as much as I enjoyed making it and reflecting on the outcome. 

Cheers, HANKUS

Lyrics:
Let's talk about how you want to converse with one syllable words, faces and closed endings 
Cause I don't know what else I can still propose, there  are so many issues that you won't disclose to me, or anyone 

Let's talk about how you advertise, your desire to speak , well you aren't talk to me, or anyone

Should I pester you a little bit more, keep pushing for an answer, or just keeping asking more 
cause we're getting nowhere 

(instrumental chorus cause that's how i do it!)

Canceled dates and dynamic states
Searching for an anchor to bring you out of this 
The hopeful shift 

That slides it all back into place 
Gets you out there and brings you face to face with your evasions

then one day you'll take off from this, desperate, tired and over this 
of all the things you said you'd do 
I didn't think this one you'd choose 

I think helped you choose 

(bridge)
every conversation 
an interrogation 
mere frustration 
self isolation 

an adoration 
for contemplation
an aspiration
for devastation

meander around
up and down without this

lost and found 
stumble around without this

till ive taken care of that
hopeful shift

The Hopeful Shift (DEMO)

夢見た君との季節
アッという間に過ぎていった
あなたの声を　
君のハイファイラジオで聞かせておくれよ
Honky Tonk Woman

あの子に伝えたいことがまだあるさ
彼女はどこにいったのだろう
今ではわからないことも多いけど
傷付けたのは僕の方だったね

あの日見た夢の色はまだあの日のまま
あの日見た空の色はまだあの日のまま

錆びつく　季節の狭間
君の声が遠くなっていく

君はいつでも知ったかぶりで
レコードの針を何個もダメにして

あの子に伝えたいことがまだあるさ
彼女はどこにいったのだろう
今ではわからないことも多いけど
傷付けたのは僕の方だったね

(ソロ)

彼女に伝えたいことがまだあるさ
あの娘はいつでも笑顔だった
忘れた頃にあの娘の面影が浮かんでは沈む　
そんなことばかり

あの日見た夢の色はまだあの日のまま
あの日見た空の色はまだあの日のまま

Based on the unanticipated success of my first Mathgaze experiment, I decided to develop it further and to do so in one minute increments where i seamlessly build off of the previous one. The envisioned idea is that this will result in a an EP/LP of however many seamless one minute songs.

As i go forward with this project, i plan to integrate the two genres better, as opposed to just mashing up the genres together. Though i think this one is already a step  in that direction. The end of this installment gets funky with 7/4, the next installment gets groovy with some 6/8 and well see what happens in part 4.

Lyrics:

Tell me everything you're holding back
Every conversation read as an attack

Tell me everything you think about this
Before it lingers to decay and to regret

Cityscapes 05 is here! Very bass driven hip-hop polyphia inspired tune.

2020-01-03: Update: I recently filmed the video and ended up getting a more energetic and tighter audio there so I ended up using the audio from that!

The concept of cityscapes was to create progressive-easy listening and easy to record songs and this song ended up being the most difficult song i've ever recorded. Took me about 2 weeks to get the guitar and bass tight/clean enough.

Anyway im super happy and proud of this one and i hope you enjoy it!

In regards to the photo, I recently sorted through my New York 2011 photos from a family trip and really liked this one that my dad took. I did some colour enhancing and cropping and boom! Its a cityscape cover now!

Mis/s Erase is finally done. What started as a quick looping jam in June soon grew to me one of my personal favourite full on songs for my album.

Enjoy

Mis/s Erase (DEMO 2)

Born Again Basil is a song I decided to compose for fun with the main idea being, the song keeps evolving and never returns to any former part, yet trying to achieve a sort of “full circle” feeling upon introduction of these new riffs. I feel as though I was personally successful in this and I am really pleased with the result. Likewise, the idea of the song is to confuse the listener, maybe make them laugh even, as I want the song to be an unexpected and deceiving journey while listening.

Lyrically the song is inspired by the “toxic relationship” between me and my basil plant from the Basil’s point of view as I only care for it to use it for pesto. Furthermore, I’ve accidentally killed it and managed to “rescue” it by placing the branches into a glass on my window sill and replanting it once the roots sprouted; hence Born Again Basil. I told my coworker this story, and with most things I tell him he says “sounds like a good song title” so I took the unintended challenge.
Lyrics:

Just like, born again basil
You cut me off, and place me on a shelf
Use me when you wanted to
And feed me just enough to breath to
Wait another day
Tentative for a recipe to
Involve me to

Born Again Basil (x3)

Like basil to pesto everyday
My time to you just has no weight
Run around up and down in the same old place
Its time to move to, the next phrase

Basil praise
Aroma, haze
Activates
Taste

(in English accent now)
And at this point now you may wonder why,
Nothing stays the same,
Well uncertainty is the only certainty that
I have found to rhyme (Luca kicks in)

So ill keep this up till the end of time
Along with the thyme
So help me find a better rhyme
Repeating is a crime

FUCK! (deliberate, I don’t get that angry)

All music/production/recording/video done by me.
Guest starring Luca Vincent on last vocal segment harmonizing.
