Wonderfully intense take by a stellar trio on this DM classic, Michael.  Superb work, my friend.

Excellent imaginative arrangement, and great mix (and great to hear Barry again!)

you wear guilt
like shackles on your feet
like a halo in reverse

i can feel
the discomfort in your seat
and in your head it's worse

there's a pain --
a famine in your heart --
an aching to be free

can't you see
all love's luxuries
are here for you and me

-

and when our worlds they fall apart
when the walls come tumbling in
though we may deserve it
it will be worth it

-

break your chains
your lips of tragedy
and fall into my arms

-
and when our worlds they fall apart
when the walls come tumbling in
though we may deserve it
it will be worth it

"Halo" [the 'Zephyr Kills' mix] - Michael Ash Sharbaugh, Barry Snaith, and Liam J. Boyle

Lyrics:

New World Order knows what's best for you
YouTube feed knows what you need
Shares and Likes the new worlds currency 
Did you figure it out? That It all means nothing!!

I never thought the world would ever end!!
Now machines decide what's on my mind!!

New vaccines made from spiked protein
Ministry of Truth decides what's real
Mask mandates keep your family safe
Did you figure it out? You all mean nothing!!

I never thought the world would ever end!!
Now machines decide what's on my mind!!
I never thought the world would ever end!!
Now machines decide what's on my mind!!

WE USED FEAR TO CONTROL THE WORLD
WE USED FEAR TO CONTROL THE WORLD
WE USED FEAR TO CONTROL YOUR WORLD
WE USED FEAR TO CONTROL YOUR WORLD

WE USED FEAR TO CONTROL OUR WORLD!!

Night Shifts

Written by Novelli/Ruffolo
 
Rooted: 

The needle tears a hole
Please don't let me go
I didn't say goodbye
Now my heart is broken

The soul has to break
I hear you call my name
A ghost or just my pain
Now my heart is broken

Things never stay the same
They're always meant to change
Its over now
Now my heart has broken

POP | SPACEROCK | AMBIENT | EXPERIMENTAL

the PERSON, the SOUND : Michael Ash Sharbaugh is a composer of music and poetry, a lead vocalist and synthesist who hails from Philadelphia, PA. Since 1985, Michael has released hundreds of recordings, but known primarily for his atmospheric pop ("Give Yourself Completely"), jarring spacerock ("Dying in the Killing Jar"), and ambient-experimental works ("Infrastructure," "point65c," "Three Aimless Clouds").

Michael's sound is a synergy of 'darkwave-y' electronica and 'trip-hop-y' psychedelia: bass-laden rhythms form the gravity for his own breathy vocals and his soundscapes of dizzying synths and 'found sounds.' His ambient and experimental musics are soothing, and somewhat 'alien' to the ear: they float and shimmer, meander, and -- more often than not -- haunt.
