CRIMSON RUM

This track is what a creative brainstorming session feels like to me, in the form of music. This one was fun and quick to make and I feel happy with how it turned out. It started with the drum beat that I made in Reason Compact. The middle parts are Reason Compact and Roland Gaia SH-01 synthesizer. I added the outro last with the lmms DAW. I'll probably add singing later when I think of the lyrics. Soon, I may have enough solo work songs to publish a solo album, which I'm excited about. ^^ Hope you enjoy the listen and thank you for stopping by.

Distant Memory

Bored

St. Mary’s Hand

There might be nothing more
Than what you thought she said
That all those streams flowing may someday be
Nothing more than a dried-up riverbed
N’ all those voices of dissension
Are nothing more than figments inside your head

Take St. Mary’s hand
Into Bedlam you will land

There was an abundance of choice
Until the choice was no longer theirs
It stood unconcealed
With its burdens to be bared      
She bore witness
As belief fell away from their prayers

Take St. Mary’s hand
Into Bedlam you will land

With a cold wind blowing
Through your winter of discontent
Release is coming
You best hope it’s heaven sent
Or the other axe might just fall
N’ be the point to what it was she meant

Take St. Mary’s hand
Into Bedlam you will land

Nothing changes but change itself
Humbled opinion is spreading fast
You board up your doors and windows
N’ hope it ain’t gonna last
She speaks in platitudes
To placate any curse that’s been cast

Take St. Mary’s hand
Into Bedlam you will land

It’s crowded at the bottom
All who thought they were up have fallen now
Talking in terms most unbecoming
In an attempt to dissuaded somehow
But she wanted different answers
While they dined on the last vestiges of the fatted cow

Take St. Mary’s hand
Into Bedlam you will land

From pillar to post
They make their way
Walking without purpose
As the ol’ hinge of life just screeches away
She kept on with the situation
And led none astray

Take St. Mary’s hand
Into Bedlam you will land

St. Mary's Hand
