Great little twisted tale...very fitting with the tasty music...a most wonderful collab!

Wicked lyrics and wicked song which sadly is oh so real in society

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

Sometimes you go to a dark place.

WRETCHED BEGGAR

Ooooo….
Ooooo….

I don’t want you
I don’t need you
Why don’t you 
Why won’t you
Why can’t you
Get out of my way 
It’s my way

All you do
When I’m in your arms
All you do 
To twist and turn me
All you do
To look the other way
Alll you do
To ignore me

I should leave you
I can’t bear you
Why don’t I
Why won’t I
Why can’t I
Get out of my way 
Gotta be one day

A little devil in my mind
Poking me with his red hot trident
White smile on his face
I feed him 
I feed him
That fat little bastard
I’m gonna get the wretched beggar

All I do
To forget myself
All I do
To erase myself
Never do
Anything I used to
Never do
Anything I want to

Better for you
Better for me
I think we
I believe we
I hope we
Get out of my way 
Never better than today

Sunday Afternoon


'clown redux'

music: Rentt 
lyrics, vocals, art: scotty

I put my makeup on before I hit the darkened streets.
Frighten children passing, as I pick my trick for treat.
Lure 'em to my vintage van with puppies and candy,
then tie 'em up and gag 'em so they can't release a shriek. 

Then I'll take them to the basement of an old abandoned house.
The fear that they possess is what makes me most aroused.
And when I've done my dirty work, I'll put that fire out,
and dump 'em in the woods, with their parts scattered all around. 

Call me fucking sick, I'm just a product of this world
and all you fucking people, how society's unfurled.
Try your best to catch me. Do your best to understand. 
But for every one of me there's worse things done by 'the man.'

clown redux (with Rentt)

This song was written in 2007 and is another of my space videos with a ghostly twist. I wrote it as a kind of Halloween ghost in space thing. Charlie sang it very well and I tried to play a very melodic Bass on it, like Chris Squire from Yes. This is a favorite of my wife, she really loves it and I like it a lot as well. I made the video just before I left for vacation about 3 weeks ago. The video turned out really good and I threw in plenty of space eye-candy for everyone to enjoy. Watch the video for the full irony of it all! It's a twisted irony to be a ghost in the machine! This is my #2 video for Halloween 2024 and not very creepy at all. Basically it'a about an astronaut that misses the earth, his wife, his kids, and is stranded on another planet where he dies but his ghost is still floating around lost forever in space, kind of a revamped Space Oddity from David Bowie! Thanks for listening and have a Happy Halloween everybody!😱😱😱

“GHOST IN THE MACHINE”

SUN-SWEPT, LOST AMID THE CLOUDS,     
FLOATING, A FACE AMONG THE CROWD,     
YOUR SHORELINE BECKONS THROUGH THE MIST,     
I CAN HEAR IT CALLING ME,
          
DRIFTING, SHIFTING LIKE THE SANDS,     
TIME IS, SLIPPING THROUGH MY HANDS,     
DREAMS OF BATHING IN YOUR KISS,     
FOREVER HAUNTING ME,
              
A GHOST IN THE MACHINE,          
A GHOST IN THE MACHINE,          
A TWISTED IRONY,            
JUST A GHOST IN THE MACHINE, 
         
SILENCE, I MISS YOUR VOICE TODAY,     
LONELY, A MILLION MILES AWAY,     
COOL WATER SATISFIES MY THIRST,     
GREEN FIELDS WHISPERING TO ME,

DARKNESS, NO DAY TO CHASE THE NIGHT,     
HEAVEN, A DIM TWINKLING BLUE LIGHT,     
A CHILD WITHOUT GOOD MOTHER EARTH,     
A DISTANT MEMORY,

A GHOST IN THE MACHINE,          
A GHOST IN THE MACHINE,          
A TWISTED IRONY,            
JUST A GHOST IN THE MACHINE!

Пісня про цей світ, війну та людські почуття

Війна В Моїх Вікнах

Abidemi is a feminine name, meaning born in the absence of her father.

This is one of the tracks included in the Mediterrâneo piece (https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/mediterraneo-full-v38-x05). 

Here I took out the track and made some small additions.

Market sound from Freesound 406313

Abidemi nasceu na ausência do seu pai, que partira para um porto de mar. Marujo num navio rumo ao Sul, rumo ao Sol, no horizonte. Abidemi cresceu à espera do seu pai que partira para nunca mais voltar. Ele nunca lhe escreveu, nem a viu a olhar o poente. A olhar...

Lyrics
Let's let reason role in
Critical thought now, only!
Multiple sources
Knowledge clean
Societies scientific dream
Reason, please.
Our scientific dream...

You're lost in politics
Why with such a strange bunch of bollix's
Boxed thought
Lies, with minds in survival mode
Poking "their" other side
Not in my life!
Not on my Earth!
Not in this Sol system
Found out with children's worth


This song pines the need for humanity to fully embrace science and real reason especially in the face of modern political influence and it's relative lies and source as an insular disease for individuals.

Politics like anything is a science and with a humanity that embraces science first for everything which in my view it should, then we as individuals need to start reasoning the world properly from all sources... We can only then formulate opinions properly on important subjects and then we as individuals can see through the leaders that lie their way to political power. Only when we ourselves see our real truth (found with proper research and CRITICAL thought) do we see through the lies of others...
The disease is settling for one opinion that confirms your own bias that you want to be true because you believe it to be. That's not scientific. That's a cult

Scientific Dream

Scotty. (almost) everywhere. Hasty home recordings in between realities while the children are (sometimes) quiet or at their mom's.
