The goal here was to write as if Roberta Grana was singing a G. Foglia track— while the vocals didn’t turn out very Grana-like, I think everything else turned out pretty charming.

ON TOP OF THE SILO
(T. Stebbins)
––––––––––––––––––
I’m falling in love
I’m falling for you
I’ve fallen so many times before
Then you'll go away
Your love wasn’t true
I wasn’t the one that you adore

I need to know how you’re better than them
I need to put you on to the test
Tell you what, Can you do one small thing
So I know you’re so much more than the rest

On top of the silo, on top of the world
Bring back what I lost, and I could be your girl
Come back in the morning and show me you care
And maybe someday, babe, you’ll take me there 

Have I gone too far
Am I asking too much
In keeping my heart unbroken
Or is it so wrong
To ask that they prove
Their love with a valid token?

I had a riff idea that reminded me a lot of Fox Stevenson's "All This Time". So I built it out and... this came out!

OTHER SIDE OF NIGHT
(J. Stebbins)
--------------------------------
My devils, they're screaming
Running out the door
Full of strife and decay, I can send them away
Don't need them anymore

Their shadows a darkened void into the night
Have no hold over me, I can finally see
Them shatter in the light

I found the rest of me in what
I thought was fantasy
With the last of doubt I can freely shout
"I'm here", the truth in all of me!

I look to a starry sky
Knowing on the Other Side of Night
The coming light is beaming bright as never before
Every fear I had has gone away
Promises of joy are here to stay
Another day, when we can do this over again
All over again!

Whenever I think on how it used to be
How I hid from it all, every slip every fall
And shuddered through the grief
I hold on to what the future has for me
With the wind in my sail knowing I'll never fail
Remembering I'm free

I'm BACK! I wanted to write something that feels classic, that's about all there was to it!

PATH OF DESIRE
(J. Stebbins)
----------------
VERSE 1:
I'm waking up on my own
From the illusion
Of anything I didn't work for
I'm getting back in my zone
For revolution—
A world, imagination-adored

PRECHORUS:
I'll make a promise here,
I'll make a promise now,
Long as I'm alive
We're taking to the top
And I will never stop
till the moment I die

CHORUS:
I'll ignite a path of desire
Impact guaranteed (Setting off a)
Blaze into a night made of fire
Baby follow me (Fire)

VERSE 2:
For every bump on the road
I've a solution
Or even just a way around it
Until I get to the end
to a conclusion
By then I'll know I finally found it

This was called "Cowboys" in my drafts because the original song idea was about a cowboy who could only say, "I Am A Cowboy". I decided to make something a bit more intense, change the theme, and... here we are! 

Also, for whatever reason, my last original release (Turn Your Love Around) seemed to give people the idea that the vocals (which I recorded a year prior) were the only way I'd sing from now on. Which... no. Just. No. Long-time fans know I would never make such a drastic shift in the music I make without at least talking it out with the Oddities.

So, instead of encouraging people to read the description (a sadly fruitless endeavor), I decided that the next release was the time to remind folks that this is still how I always plan to sing— with power, passion, and love of this genre. So here it is!

STEP INTO THE FIRE
(J. Stebbins)
--------------------------------
King & Queen
Tale's as old as ever, you know
what I mean
Begs you the question:
What are these
Jokers in the court you're holding
Let me be
Worthy of affection

Deal me in, let me play a hand
I'm already holding yours on
Turn it around, whatever you found
And play me where I belong

King of my desire
Step into the fire
And what will you play for me?
Clubbing if you're clever
Diamonds are forever
But my heart's never free

Make your bets
have you started playing or did
you forget
who's in control, here?
One more time
Pull the lever put your credit
On the line
Ready for the show, dear?

I've had the concept for this song in my head for a while-- less musically and more lyrically. While people have in good faith called me "The Queen of Eurobeat", it's not a title I can accept while Clara Moroni (Cherry), Domino, Pamsy, Norma Sheffield, or Elena Feretti still walk this earth. On the other hand, I thought an Empress would be pretty fun to be! So I wrote a song about aspiring to be that.

...I only found out later that an Empress ranks above queens. That was not my intention!  Σ(っ °Д °;)っ

EMPRESS
(J. Stebbins)
----------------

VERSE 1:
One to another, call my name
Rising up, a pillar made of fire
Where did the others fall in shame
Take my hand, we'll make a new empire

BRIDGE: 
Within a minute, you gave in to me
Now we can render a fantasy
Below my hand,
Under my command
You ready for more and more
Of me tonight, boy

CHORUS
Call me the Empress
and I'll call you mine
We'll echo out to the future all of the time
Baby tell me you need me
and will never go
You never tease me against a
fading light

VERSE 2:
Lock into place and step in time
In a universe where I can make you
The elementals, ever mine
No one else but me can ever take you

This song means a lot to me.

On the one hand, I've long been trying to find my way back to a more refined version of how I used to sound when working in Logic Pro, but I couldn't quite figure out how I sounded the way I did back then. After long last, I've found that it was orchestral elements— in this case, a string section, french horns, and bells— that made a world of difference. I'm finally able to capture the lush, full sound I once had with the more up-to-date production techniques I've learned in the last few years.

On the other hand, it's been a little while since I've written a more emotionally impactful tune. Meanwhile, in the last month it's been a struggle to step back from work and content creation to take better care of myself, and I felt the whispers of a version of myself I thought I left behind coming back to haunt me. This song was my reminder to myself that I've kept the best of myself with me, and I'm worth maintaining. The way I used to be is no longer here. I'm finally more fully and openly myself, and that will not change.

Please enjoy my last original release of 2022. And here's to a spectacular 2023.



SOMEWHERE WITHIN
(J. Stebbins)
--------------------------------------
VERSE 1
I haven't heard your echo
Hiding in the wind for many years
But somehow
You're darkening my shadow
Bittering the salt within my tears


BRIDGE
Another world, another time
You were the one who saved me, opened my eyes
But you gave in, a welcome goodbye
Why now, have you come back to be my...

CHORUS
Shadow from within
Was it never enough to watch you decay
Or was it in the light beaming from another time
That keeps you from the fade away?

Oh my shadow from before
Should've never allowed you to begin
Forever am I tied to the mem'ry you created
Yet you linger somewhere within


VERSE 2
Try as you might, are you frustrated
with the fact that I moved on without you
And in the light you're dissipated
In a moment you'll be gone

Short, sweet, simple, and most crucially about fire. This was originally a candidate for inclusion in a rhythm game, hance its shorter length; but alas, it wasn't meant to be. So here it is, for you. ❤️

PLAYING WITH FIRE
(J. Stebbins)
------------------------
VERSE 1:
My pulse is turning up
My sweat is dripping out
My heart is beating through my chest
The edge is coming near
I'm shutting off all fear
To put my limits to the test

BRIDGE:
Why ever do I try, try to work it?
Is it ever worth it?
The endless fight on the line
Keep this endeavor
Keep it from the "never"
For we won't go ever quietly tonight

CHORUS:
I'm PLAYING WITH THE FIRE
I'm ready for the burn
For the heat and pain
Down cutting to the wire
The point of going back
Gotta fade away

VERSE 2:
Our beacon shining out
Is what it's all about
Forever we are gonna stay
Until that hope is gone
I'm keeping fighting on
Fight on to shine another day

Playing With Fire

Import You is a modern take on eurobeat inspired by the recent releases from MEGAREX. Lyrics regarding the rescue of a loved one in a digital world fit well alongside digital bass swells.

…in fact, quite literally inspired. If you caught my Twitch streams as I worked on this, you'd hear how their Eurobeat Re:Bible album really shook me up and inspired me to make something more modern and less traditional. I think it's still pretty traditional, but it has some new elements I really like. What do you think?

I set out to make something in line with my “new” style (such as Legacy and Import You), but ended up making something almost more appropriate for idols (like Free My Heart or Stronger) instead. I’m alright with this.

GIVE ME ALL YOUR LOVE
(T. Stebbins)
––––––––––––––––
VERSE 1
One touch and it was over
And I cannot recover
One taste and I’ve given in
I’d never make it without your love

PRECHORUS
We’ve been spinning around in worlds apart for far too long
Now we’re taking on one more chance
To reconcile the right and wrong

CHORUS
Give me all your love! 
Indulge in a fantasy
Give it all, your heart and soul to me
And in return
For all of the things you do
I will turn my future over to you

VERSE 2
This time we’re fighting forever
With love it cannot sever
This time we’re seeing the light
And we can make it until the end

Sometimes what we believe, is less about the truth and more about how we want to feel. Find that, and you’ve got one heck of a sales pitch.

THE WORLD ONE DREAM AWAY
(T. Stebbins)
––––––––––––––––
VERSE 1:
One more day, go and cross it out
And a year’s already flying by
This dark place puts a darker ring
And a tear in every living eye

PRECHORUS 1:
What if I told you, it’s all a lie?
And the truth will set you free… my advice?
Just lose yourself in my fantasy
For a small and meager price…

CHORUS:
And we could fly! Fly! Fly over evergreens
It’s everything you could want to be
Just sign your soul over here to me
The world one dream away

But before you do, just know you will not return
This here’s one bridge that you gotta burn
So ask yourself, did you really earn
The world one dream away?

VERSE 2:
We both know this was never real
But the song was welcome to your ear
You could stay in the fantasy
To escape the agony of fear

PRECHORUS 2:
What if I told you, you’re in control
And you’re free to carry on… Just ignore
Those who would tell you to stop your roll
And forget the right and wrong…
