Lyrics

I woke up with another ache,
Took my son’s pill by mistake.

My son’s pill,
What a thrill,
(riser)
Off to a planet
And still there still.
My son’s pill,
What a thrill (whoo-whoo)
Off to a planet
And still there...

Mama will you love me (oh mama)
Now that I’m a druggie (oh mama)
Will you? (will you)
Will you? (mama)

Mama will you leave me (hear me)
Now that I'm not worthy (mama).
Will you? (please)
Will you? (don't leave me)

If I had wings,
I would fly (up, up),
Just need to find (just find),
a higher rise (higher and higher).
If I had wings (oh yeah),
I would soar (up and up),
Across sugar fields to a candy shore (and I'd stay there too).

Interlude

I came down with another ache,
Gave me an excuse for another mistake.

DRUMAX // SIXTY 6

My anti-AI rant song ... I wrote this shortly after a friend of mine proudly told me how she'd created a song using AI which she had fed a sample of her voice. This gal doesn't sing. She sent me the YouTube link to the song and obviously wanted my feedback.

That artificiale
You call a song
Bit and bytes pretending
That thing made by machine so perfectly
Much more than your bidding
I won't buy it
Just because you can.

Just because we can
Don't mean that we should
Just let's dig all the way down
Those things can't eat
Need no sleep
Have no cares at all

Don't tell me you're proud
And make a gake fool of ypurself
Things to do your bidding
I hope you made that clear
Take all from the past
For a future rearrange
Let the things make everything
Fake the only name
That's fair

Just because we can
Don't mean that we should
Just let's dig all the way down
Those things can't eat
Need no sleep
Have no cares at all

Digging a grave
For the human made
the work of our hearts
The work of our minds
Digging a grave
For the emanescent
Voices of ourselves

Digging a Grave

DRUMAX No. 66 // SIXTY6

Created very fast with VSTs & altosaxophone.
The cover picture is extremely sweet :-) ... Essences of all kinds are often to be questioned - sometimes music helps ;-)

The Last Transmission

陽炎稲妻水の月（Shimmer, Lightning, and The moon reflected in the water）

陽炎
稲妻
水の月
追い求めて
追いつめても
わたしの手を逃れて
遠くの空の薄明り

Shimmer.
Lightning.
The moon reflected in the water.
I pursue them, but as soon as I think I have them, they slip through my hands and run away. And they glow faintly in the distant sky.

A pendant of sorts to fectoper´s beautiful Taylor Column composition  (where I made some contribution), which you can listen to below. 

MELTING OF ANCIENT ICE

The Horse Walks Backwards on a Violet Cloud is the original mix:

🖋️ Lyrics: 
I listen like a child to night, But the shadows know my name. Fatigue pours gently through the vents, Wrapping me in soft, invisible blame.
The horse walks backwards on a violet cloud. My eyes face the dream it left. She whispers through distant time zones now... And I keep still, in theft.
The table breathes beneath its gift, Unknown hands tie memory in bows. My name was said, half-broken, By a mirror that never knows.
The old man’s beard touches the past. I'm seated wrong, I'm waking slow. She trains in orchards long forgotten. I’m just the ache I never show. Light moves backwards, Through our unfinished sky.
I wrote none of this — But it’s mine, It’s mine.

The Horse Walks Backwards on a Violet Cloud

I’m a song-writer who enjoys creating music of any genre.

My son recently introduced me to A.I. and taught me how to do covers of my previously released non-A.I. music. Since I've never considered myself a performer (except playing with worship bands at church or solo-piano at a rehab center) using A.I. is right up my alley.

Since I've  exhausted using my previously released music for A.I. covers, I now compose music in a DAW, rip to a wave file, and make an A.I. cover of this wave file. I then write lyrics to the A.I. music. It takes around 100 A.I. iterations to complete the lyrics and get a style I'm happy with.  

Brief Bio: Lived more than a quarter of my life overseas (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan). Each country gave me an appreciation for different types of music plus probably why I get bored easily in sticking with one genre or another.
