EP: "Post-Partum Appendices" (2025) | [non-stop] - Michael Ash Sharbaugh

The last track of the EP 'Living A Broken Dream', it's my first song I've ever written on a 7 string guitar! It has a big contrast with clean ballad and some fierce heavy chorus. You certainly wouldn't want to miss out on it!

Poem: William Blake
"Ah! Sun-flower" is a poem by William Blake, published in his collection Songs of Experience in 1794. The poem explores themes of longing, weariness, and the human desire for something beyond earthly existence, using the sunflower as a symbol. 

A big thank you to you Torbjørn, what a great joy to sing this beautiful poem.

Poem: William Blake

Ah! sunflower, weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the sun,
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the traveller’s journey is done;

Where the youth pined away with desire,
And the pale virgin shrouded in snow,
Arise from their graves and aspire;
Where my sunflower wishes to go.

Ah! Sun-flower. Torbjørn Vagle. Oddrun Eikli

Now an acoustic music break. After a long time, a song with the vocals of the great Ian Greaves aka IPG1. It's recorded entirely with samples and loops. It fits Ian's style better. 
Thanks Ian for your great open collab offer!

Lyrics

Giving And Taking
Cloud Stepping
 
(Chorus)
Life is relative, to the one that’s living it
Inside outlook, to giving and taking it
Experience god’s works, all senses
We were given just a little bit
We couldn’t handle it all
the few we have can nearly fit
the few we have can nearly fit

(Verse1)
If we knew it all, and all, and all
Then nothing would matter
It’s all a puzzle to be solved
We have always been the answer
The plan of god without reward
Evolves in different ways
We are all awake in different dreams
To let the devil play

(Verse2)
Who amongst us hear the screams
Of millions of lives lost,
and don’t look on it as savagery
And wonder what’s the cost
What’s the worth, and what’s the cost
Are we listening or not
Are we listening or not

(Chorus)
Life is relative, to the one that’s living it
Inside outlook, to giving and taking it
Experience god’s works, all senses
We were given just a little bit
We couldn’t handle it all
the few we have can nearly fit
the few we have can nearly fit

Original of Battle Cry, Conqueror - a version i like very much and inspired my lyrics and melody. 
a  Dubrae Prod. 

SK Battle Cry

a mirror of compassion never found
your voice, it never mattered, shhh! make no sound
To those around you, Envy and Lies
let them hear your battle cry
it's screaming, it's screaming
why?!

in this moment, close your eyes
call your name, the one that hides
tear down the walls you built around you
time to fight and conquer through

now you can start to understand when
the love bombs explode in your land
You don't need it, or want it anymore
no more. just love yourself, and you'll find
they can't take from you anymore, the battle cry
no more

gloves are off i won't be nice
too many years i was your vice
you wanted me consumed by you
keeping me a blinded fool
in the shadows i was fine
but even then you weren't satisfied
then the envy come all your lies
i didn't want to be in the light
my only focus was to be on you
i thought i could love you and love me too
it's not your fault i let you take away
but it's my fault that i let you stay
ohhh.. i let you stay

a mirror of compassion never found
your voice, it never mattered, shhh! make no sound
To those around you, Envy and Lies
let them hear your battle cry
it's screaming, it's screaming
why



Conqueror  ft. SK

Yesterday this song painted a name change for me but after sleeping on it... TBD is too well established so I've reverted to my old artist name.

Call it a product of making songs in the moment all the time and trying to let my music own and reflect that...

all good!

I wrote the lyrics listening to this amazing track here:
Listen to Peaceful Lights by 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐚 on #SoundCloud

Lyrics
The label may changed
Like I said to Mark,
Should I shine my light just from the dark
My positive intent painted some negative scene
Let's let the school boy out to curate this dream

A beautiful lark
Just beautiful light
From the beautiful dark
New phase
See black hole bright

The intention the same
Just taking care by name
Through Peaceful Lights
We're sending love for sane
Transcendental meditation soothe our pain
Manifest our Lion's mane
As apex predators
Show Earth how we remain

A beautiful lark
Some beauty is saved
From the beautiful dark
New rays
Pure positive path we've paved

👨🏿‍🚀Luminous Lark🧑🏻‍🚀

Lyrics

Lasered to sense,
Even Sir Rich gets moved
When perusing the world of poetic blues
Where articulated real meets perfection
'Found questionable thought to his atomic interjection

Softly, softly says Professor Neil
Let's take their hands when want meets zeal
Dawkins holds that military mind
New domination for human kind

Only truth,
Call out the lies.
There's enough for our youth in sciences prize
It's poetry this reality
Generalized, it's just wonderfully free

This Plato brain does wander away
I try and imagine all sides of all way
Then we connect with everyone
Changing minds doesn't matter
The door is open

Notes
Richard Dawkins is one of the greatest thinkers of our time and possibly the very best at articulating our reality as he honestly sees it. He fights ignorance with such pure truth I'd be scared to debate him on the spirit world .. But I would love to and I think there's a very real conversation to be had asking him how he fills the gaps in science about consciousness and his dismissal of spiritually and an afterlife given those limited explanations of our conscious world... Dawkins is an evolutionary biologist and a wonderful author.

This song was inspired largely by Dawkins and his want, now to project what he sees as the purest of poetry... The truth about our existence. He is well worth a permanent rabbit hole along with his team mate Professor Neil Di Grasse Tyson an Astrophysicist.

So I guess this song is giving them a hand.

the PERSON, the SOUND : Since 1985, Philadelphia-born Michael has composed and released hundreds of audio recordings, and published dozens of [erotic] poems.

His 'sonic-sojourn' began suddenly when he was just a teen -- feet splashing rhythmically through puddles leftover by a seaside rainstorm. Having just parted ways with the then-love-of-his-life, Michael composed his first ballad [and first song] ever -- "Tina." He rushed to his beach-side home to record his visceral 'awakening' on a tiny micro-cassette recorder, and vowed -- from that day on -- to create art for the rest of his life.

He began zealously amassing used music equipment, and had built a modest home recording studio by age seventeen, all the while crafting simple pop, ambient, and experimental works that HE had wanted to listen to -- that HE had wanted to hear, affectionately emulating the works of his then-idols, Duran Duran and Brian Eno.

Now, decades later, he has relocated to a small village outside Atlanta, Georgia, and continues to voraciously attend to his dream as a young, heartbroken boy -- to create and release music that he, himself, wants to hear.

Although no longer sequestered to pop and ambient musics, Michael's signature sound has merged the two, having integrated the R&B, hiphop, and psychedelia he has grown to love as a older gent -- having absorbed the edgy rhythms and dreamy soul of the southern United States (Atlanta and Miami).

Michael still puts forth ample amounts af ambient musics, but his recent 'sound' hovers elsewhere -- somewhere amidst the genres of vaportrap, spacerock, and trip-hop.
