Fallout

Memories

The idea for this track was to create something simple in the famous Egyptian Hijaz scale. But after seeing enough documentaries about how the pyramids where probably built by a way-older-than-the pharaohs-culture I decided to give it a slightly different, more mysterious sound.

The Pyramid Prophecy

This track musically tells the story of Amun, a young fisherman who lived along the Nile and someday decided to search for the scarab of Eth. The scarab was an artifact known to harness the power of the god Eth. Amun knew the stories and followed the clues to eventually find the artifact, hidden in a tomb deep beneath the Gizeh pyramid. When he held the scarab the power of Eth flowed through him and he became Amuneth: half man, half god.

Contrast

Code

This song is written, performed, recorded, produced and mix by myself as a true desktop bedroom artist :  )

I couldn't help myself to pick up the phone
I left two messages after the tone
You left me with so many questions and doubts
will you get back to me so we can talk it out?

It's overwhelming and I don't know what to think
the dirty dishes are still in the kitchen sink
I didn't feel like washing up the empty plates 
just like myself the house is in a sorry state

There is no excuse to be this immature
how it keeps happening, I'm not really sure
And still you care for me, but in my defense  
when we're together I give up my common sense
 
Lull me, hush me, lure me in 
I will play up to your weakness, I'll get under your skin
Bribe me, bait me, wear me thin
we are really not that different - we're pretty much akin 

I know this is the fourth or fifth time I call
but in my head I've hit a monumental wall
I have always been attached, so that's nothing new
If you still need me, then I guess I need you too

Portable animals

If you still need me

Watch the official lyric video here: https://youtu.be/YPdhv8Iw5ns

I've been sitting here
while the hours disappear
a pen in my hand and a paper sky
a head that's filled with images but nothing to write 

So let's start anew
from a different point of view 
an unexpected angle, something not too trite
a rendition with a twist but it's not quite right

What's a masterpiece without the synergy
of metaphor and meter and a hint of simile
crafted so it communicates
a multi-layered concept to which anyone relates

I lose myself in theory
detail and technicality
endless possibility 
kills my creativity
and although my end rhymes are strong
what good is a half-written song? 

Should I rearrange
this motif, should I change
violins to saxophone
melodious to monotone?

And I still have to decide
acoustic or amplified?
Questions scream in stereo
no wonder this is moving slow

What's a masterpiece without the synergy
of metaphor and meter and a hint of simile
crafted so it consolidates
a multi-layered concept to which anyone relates

I lose myself in theory
detail and technicality
endless possibility 
kills my creativity
and although my end rhymes are strong
who cares for a half-written song?
