Yay, some of my favourite people all together, and sounding awesome!

I knew I'd love this and why wouldn't I? Superb song and wonderful performances from everyone. Thanks for sharing Bryan, Joe and Anna

Great production man! Wow! Great tune, too. Really awesome all around.

Good one Bryan...and nice ending chord too!!!

This remix (March 20024) removes the rim shot (which was driving me nuts) and adds a new drum section.  
The nspiration is Ann Leckie's award winning "Ancillary Justice"  epic, written back in 2014. How did I miss it? 
This is  the first track on a mini-album and is meant to reflect the overall theme: the hyper rational determination of the central character (Breq) to deliver justice against an empire bent on brutal annexations.  Hmmm.....
The cover art is from a limited edition of the book and is by Lauren Saint-Onge.

Don’t You Know You’re Killing Yourself?

Don’t you know you’re killing yourself
We have it all in writing
look around there’s nobody else
but that’s what’s exciting

What good has free will got you
Coffee or tea?
Don’t you know you’re killing yourself
How else could it be?

Can’t you see you’ve done this before
with no variation
Caught in a call you just can’t ignore
the same old situations 

You always catch me walking alone
or my identical twin
Can’t you see we’ve done this before
I know we’ll do it again

You’re so high, you feel dizzy
like a prehistoric bird
perched on a cliffs edge
sublime but absurd

Can’t you see you’re killing yourself
it’s written in the stars
you remind me of Nellie Bly 
or Belshazzar
 
I’m not here to tell you something
you don’t already know
Can’t you see you’re killing yourself
so it goes, so it goes

Don't You Know (You're Killing Yourself)

GOOD MORNING STRANGE DAY

Dividing the autumn sky

Takahama Kyoshi was a Japanese poet active during the Shōwa period of Japan. He was the editor of the haiku magazine Hototogisu (previously edited by Shiki), where he promoted a more traditional style of haiku, as opposed to other popular schools which did not follow the pattern of seventeen syllables at that time.
Kyoshi also highlighted the symbolic function of the kigo (the seasonal reference), even though the more modern trends were already tending towards seasonless haiku.

Personal Note

Now, just behind this drawn curtain, beyond this static veil, I know you are there. Like beacons of unfiltered humanity your bravest dreams are real and they reach me even in the most remote and ancient ocean abyss. They are magic. Oh, magnificent invisible gods I’ve been trying to write a poem for you. 

These recordings can be divided into three (Four if you count cover versions of my songs by other SC artists) unfit categories; Butterflies songs, Waltz Bros. Songs and Pall of a Past World songs. Butterflies were a three and four piece band of which I was a member. The band released two albums and several singles 
during it’s run in the mid to late nineties. The Waltz Bros. Is my most current project consisting of myself and Matt Wilson with occasional help from friends. Pall of a Past World consist of things that I’ve done that don’t fit into either of those titles.
