WAITING FOR THE RAIN

And the vines abide
And lean on old familiar ways
From Hadrian to the Satellite Empire
You can feel it in your soul
Standing on Dryhill
You can feel it in your soul
Standing on Dryhill

The hidden lines and lives
Walk their natural time above the plain
From hill fort to the bunkers underground 
The hill can quicken up your pulse
Standing on Dryhill
You can taste it on your breath
Standing on Dryhill
Looking from Dryhill
Waiting for the rain 
Waiting for the rain

Aeons old and yesterday
In a scintillation (Standing on Dryhill)
A breathless moment under 
The curious twinkling stars (Standing on Dryhill)
The water moves beneath us
It moves below the ice

(below, be-low)

A long-gone, summer swift scream
The hill is not dry
The vines do not wither
Rippling the waters of our many lives
The heart of the hill 
Beats on
Pushing the sleeping rabbit to awake and run (run, run, run)
Seize the seasons
Hang the reasons
In a thousand years the hill will not remember us or its many names…
Our heads boiled, eaten down to the white bone

And the vines abide
And lean on old familiar ways
From Hadrian to the Satellite Empire
You can feel it in your soul
You can feel it in your soul
Standing on Dryhill
Standing on Dryhill
Waiting for the rain
Standing on Dryhill
Looking from Dryhill
Looking from Dryhill
Waiting for the rain
Waiting for the rain

Standing on Dryhill…

Lu Bu（?〜199）

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Lu Bu's heroic performance stands out.

However, he betrayed his father-in-law, Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, and wandered the battlefield.

Cao Cao hesitated about how to deal with Lü Bu, but Liu Bei decided to decapitate him.
At the end, he is said to have cursed Liu Bei, saying that he was the most untrustworthy person.

Check out the music video for the song here!

在《三国演义》中，吕布的英雄表现尤为突出。

然而，他背叛了岳父丁原和董卓，流浪沙场。

曹操犹豫如何对付吕布，刘备却让他决定处死吕布。
最后说刘备是最不值得信任的人。

「人中有吕布，马中有赤兔」
This means that “among men there is a hero named Lu Bu, and among horses there is a great horse named Red Rabbit”.
意思是“人中有英雄吕布，马中有大马赤兔”。

“I was unsure about my next song to create and so my wife suggested writing something in the style of The Mamas & The Papas, which I thought was a fantastic idea. A further suggestion by my wife was added; to include the words “Give Love, Get Love”, which was written on my tea bag string (pictured). This was an even better idea and now a fun challenge. With that, this song was written. 

This is a song about giving yourself to life - that we are simply salt floating in the sea; stardust in the universe - to not resist and to embrace every moment. 

I really love the 60’s Woodstock camp fire feel to this song and I enjoyed trying to emulate the sounds/panning of the incredible “California Dreamin’”. I think the electro/synth-pop inspired vocal processing adds a nice modern twist. I hope you enjoy this one”

A song about the universe - “The Salt And The Sea”.

We are the salt and the sea
I drift with you and you carry me
So happy? 
In love? 
Everyone has a story 
Yes, we are the salt and the sea

You’ve got to give love to get love
You’ve got to lose yourself to win it all and be free
This bubble of ours is like living on Mars
We can see the twilight and stars from the sea

The Salt And The Sea

Returning to where we started here: a bit more electronic, this song (but also a piano song!).
Are you a stupid boy, nothing but your own hormones’ toy? Qui est la poupée ?
Here we go:
"Ta Poupée - only your Fantasy

(Je suis ta poupée. Qu'est-ce-que tu veux que je fasse?)
(Je suis ta poupée. Qu'est-ce-que tu veux que je fasse?)

Am I just your dream? Do you wanna make me scream?
Am I just your toy? I’m with you for your joy?
I am just your fantasy. Am I not a human being?

Is it real or just something you think of me?
You can play with me, do what you want with me.
Is this your fantasy which you think is reality?
What am I for you? 
How do you treat me?
Tell me what you see when you look at me.

(Je suis ta poupée. Qu'est-ce-que tu veux que je fasse?)
(Je suis ta poupée. Qu'est-ce-que tu veux que je fasse?)

Are you a stupid boy, nothing but your own hormones’ toy?
Can’t you see that I see you just the way you see me.
How do you treat me? Are you not a human being?

Is it real or just something you think of me?
You can play with me, do what you want with me.
Is this your fantasy which you think is reality?

Qui est la poupée ? (Qui est la poupée ?)
Qui est la poupée ? (Qui est la poupée ?)

What am I for you? How do you treat me?
Take a look at you and see what you do.

(Qui est la poupée ?)

THE LIZARD (WITH SONIC KITCHEN)

Kate Stanton and I were discussing music and happened to connect over that weird vibe of being in betwixt and between. After she shared her video from a local dead mall in her town that is being demolished soon, she sent me a rough piano / synth and vocal draft. I added some synthesizers and beats to enhance the dark and haunting vibe. Welcome to the "Liminal Spaces", do you want to hang out with us in the ether?

==== LYRICS ====

You’re my star 
In the sky 
My constant light
Oh, you shine so bright 
All the time

On the darkest night 
I see you the most 
And I feel connected
Carbon-made, gravity stays
Holding be back 
In these liminal spaces

Glowing from the inside out 
Luminous grace and hope 
Am I alive? 
Cause even a ghost girl has fears

You’re my beacon of hope
Message I heard as a girl
Constant. Steady. Strong.

On the darkest night
I see you the most 
And I feel connected
Carbon-made, gravity stays
Holding me down 
In these liminal spaces

This year nearly broke me 
Roaming the halls
Every character flaw on display
Every weakness, every break
What do I do now with these bones?

On the darkest night I see you the most 
And I feel connected
Carbon-made, gravity stay
Holding me back
In these liminal spaces

Glowing from the inside out
A luminous grace and hope.
I am alive
Even a ghost girl has fears.

Beautiful Night

[Verse]
우리가 가던 곳으로 향해
내 속에 플라잉 블루스가 흐른다
뒤돌아보지 말고 앞으로 나아가자
이 장소에 내 희망을 불태워

[Verse 2]
낡은 거리와 흘러가는 시간
그 속에서 느껴지던 블루스의 멜로디
멈추지 않는 그 감정을 싣고
우리는 함께 춤추는데

[Chorus]
이곳은 우리의 작은 블루스 세계
너와 나만의 행복한 장소
느린 밤
부드러운 노래와 함께
우리의 사랑은 영원히 남아있을게

장소의 푸른 블루스
