That part sounded a bit like robot chatter. This one is particularly groovy. I dig it. :)

Really creative instrumentation and beat! Its almost like you bend and play with different timing with the beat! Awesome work

Like a deconstructed mashup of everything that was cool from the 70s :-) awesome!

Well I almost scrapped this song but after 3 weeks writing words, and then realizing how fun it is to sing, i kept it. I'm trying to figure out how to add a little lightheartedness to my music, but i think this one just turned out creepy lol. NOTE:  I always felt a little uncomfortable with the words, i just really didn't like them, so I reworked the chorus and a few other lines, and rerecorded the vocals. It seems a little better now...
 

I've seen my own worst enemy
Every night just staring back at me
Through the mirror with such animosity
And baby, it drives me crazy
I don’t understand what’s with this guy,
He don’t know that he’s alive
He combs his hair on the wrong side

I don’t expect you to understand,
But I’ve got these hammers for my hands
I like to start with everything
and smash away what I don’t need
and scattered all around are the pieces off of me
oh baby can’t you see what this done has to me

It’s a strange strange situation 
I need a little information
If it’s real or just imagination
Don’t say it’s so, I can’t believe 
Its down to you and me again
Up against the world my friend
Who can say   how this will end
 
It’s 3am and you’re slamming doors
Cause ‘I don’t speak your language anymore’
While I’m on my knees picking pieces
Of me up off the floor, 
I can’t lose much more, these pieces could be the last of me,
I wish I could see the way you see
is there anything left in this debris

Hammer Hands

Being strong doesn't require you to be rough and tough, loud or mad.

It can be gentle, silent; soft as a feather.

Some people don't recognize this as strength.

They believe you are falling 
when you have actually taken flight.

As  Christmas approaches, this feels like the right time to share this reworking of a traditional Sami Joik song (a form of chanted folk song from Lapland).
The vocalist is Inga Susanne Heatta, and the original unaccompanied chant was recorded in the early 1950's by Wolfgang Laade and Dieter Christensen . On hearing it for the first time I was struck by the beauty of the piece, which is described as "A welcome to the Lappish communities". I felt compelled to have a go at adding some accompaniment and hopefully it serves to enhance the soulful beauty of the original.
Like many indigenous populations, the Sami people have suffered hostility and discrimination from the wider communities of the countries where they live and we can only hope that appreciation and understanding will win out over prejudice in the long run.

A Sami welcome

'Does The Flame Ever Go Out' was a question I asked myself recently whilst sitting in my music studio. This track was the answer to my question.

Surreal Awake

Get Up But Git Down

Coming Through
Thought I was a lightweight. 
My flight plan—is up to date  
my playlist —on rotate 
beats bumping ——with tight brakes
just Call that———-solid State
Not here ——to negotiate
touchdowns—of—a—heavyweight 
I score ——and I penetrate 
Gone platinum —-straight out the gate
The crowd’s up——— we——celebrate
The pulse ——and the heart rate
No——-overtime—I’m feeling great 
The vibe’s ——love—-and never —hate
And this is—-how ——-I navigate
———-Not here to negotiate 

—coming through—- with a vengeance 
declared my independence 
It’s underground not industry
I’ve got them doing penance 
that’s right—- I took the high road 
not paid——-but i upload
The mix ——stirred—-to sound good
they’re hanging—— on my every word
they’re hanging—— on my every word
on my every word

Thank god——- for his blessings 
Each track ———a new lesson 
Hold on tight——-I’m coming through
Monument—still——collecting 
There—-Ain’t no second guessing
Looking forward—— to my next win
believe it—when—they leave—-
Like Lettuce—-cause—-I’m the dressing
—-no resting—— now—the best thing
Expanding and Investing———-
So ——Dreams are manifesting 
—-The flames I spit—-the game is lit🔥🔥 🔥
I’m burning —-down the contest
fireworks ——at your doorstep 
Scorch earth—-plan——in effect
You heard me—-and you know the rep
If you Feel the heat ——-you overslept 
no time and no——mistakes 
I still spark ——-your interest
The alarm goes off—-are you awake
Here’s your wake up call —-more or less 
Not a word —cause—-you’re speechless 

Like water in the low land 
from China —straight—to Japan 
They’ll never —-know my flight plan, 
Or the reasons— that I don’t land 
Stay cool if you’re a fan——-
Calm—-cause I’ve got this
On the edge of——the abyss
A mystery that they—-can’t resist
—Still—-drenched in sweat
Your Dripping wet—your look is pure anguish
