Cutting and edgy, with some true magic in there. Great job on the drums, really punched through the mix. A pleasure to listen to. I was really diggin' on that last song in particular, the ladies sound grea, and your vocals were crisp. A very original aural voyage.

Freakin' awesome buzzing pulsing synths and vox.  Ridiculously great!

This is such a sublime part of the track, love so many of the chord progressions during this song cycle

Expansive ending, so satisfying.    What's on side two?

I have not been moved like this since Wuthering Heights! 

Like something I've never heard before. But like something of a style I presume I'll more of in the days to come. Nice work.

I absolutely love this!  Serene, tranquil and full of life from beginning ti end.

I) U (An Overture of Sorts)

II) Forgive us What we Are, Love What we Wanted to be.

All these hard lines that make us feel safe
All these soft curves we want to set straight

As I was walking to St. Ives I met a man with seven wives
Brothers sisters have I none but that man's father's my father's son
How sure of ourselves we are how full
How certain we are the pinnacle
Of consciousness and precious worth
Inheritors by divine birth
Masters of Geometry Inventors of Philosophy 
And words...

All these hard lines that make us feel safe
All these soft curves we want to set straight

Nothing is the same as anything else
Your parallels underwhelm
Identity be but a fraud the charcoal wing of the black swan
Groping metaphors for god
To simplify is falsify, the blinking of the closing mind
Narratives like fairy tales swallowed whole like candy whales
Bedtime stories of a frightened child...

All these hard lines that make us feel safe
All these soft curves we want to set straight

Bones in Denial

All just to say that you're barely part way
Stumbling down your dark hallway
First in line in the monkey parade
But clear in the rear of the light brigade
Forgive us what we are
Love what we wanted to be
Who rise from flesh to spirit know the fall
The word outleaps the world and light is all

III) H

IV) Engineer

Oh Mother of Wisdom Oh Father of Light
Lord of the Elements Master of Time
Power and Vision and Fusion and Fission
Bending cruel Nature to abject submission
But deep underneath every rational beast
The wellspring of sorrow sings

The zealot the fascist the racist the freak
The breeder the beater the cheater the priest
The victim the rapist the sadist the greatest
The one that you wish you could borrow their faces
But deep underneath every frightened retreat 
The heart of loneliness beats

 
Irony satire and alienation
The protective mask of faux sophistication
The gambler the shopper the slave to desire
The junkie the puppet the man who starts fires
But deep underneath every soul in the street
The heart of a human still beats

V) Graceful Degradation

See everything for me

VI) Marcel

Another year has passed my love
My brain's all scrambled today
When they ask I say it's all fine
I never know what to say
I love you ultimate
Ultimate love that's how it's always been
A shadow girl following wispy invisible just knowing that you exist
Locked in your temple
Bring down the universe spread it out over the keys
Shuffle through paper Love a sweet panther with no one watching but me
Even if you didn't even know me, I'd love you with all my heart   
Even if you didn't even know me, I'd love you with all my heart

This song was written for General Hospital's Nurses Ball in 2018.  Here is my original "pitch demo" with a few added strings.  Not quite finished, but I thought it would be nice to share it with everyone during this time of contemplation and confusion.

LYRICS:

I will love you, there's nothing you can do
I won't leave you, best believe it's true 

You can never take your love
You'll never take your love away from me
Do you wanna save my soul 
It's been burning and burning and longing to be free

Yah I'm coming I'm coming home
Coming home to save your soul 

Well I hope you won't be long
I've been standing waiting here I'm thinking soon we'll all be gone 

I will love you, there's nothing you can do
I won't leave you, best believe it's true 

You could say that I am fallen
Not falling but fallen I'm wandering far beneath the sea
You couldn't even save yourself 
And now I'm suffering wondering how you could save me

I'm still coming I'm coming home 
Coming home to save your soul 

I hope to God you are the one
I am not a patient man my time has just begun 

I will love you, there's nothing you can do
I won't leave you, best believe it's true 

I'm still coming, I'm coming home
Coming home to save your soul 

I will love you, there's nothing you can do
I won't leave you, best believe it's true

Galatea
