.. in the bridge, John Lennon makes a guest appearance with a few sobering statements about drugs...give him a listen 

Five Hits of Acid

Pack my bags and walk the streets to see what I can find  
One step beyond outside myself, I try to free my mind  
Exercise, then meditate, I still can't find the door
I've got the answer on the tip of my tongue
I'll do what Huxley did before

Oh I swallow repeatedly  
My pride, my anger, my circumstance  
This life in overdrive   
And now, the sweet space of mystery
Gone wafer thin, this zone I'm in
I'm flying, I'm alive 

Five hits of acid         
That's what it takes    
Five hits of acid          
Save the last dance, do the EGO shake 

Walking to the edge of fear and the light that shines wìthin
Burning man embrace the flame, collapse and rise again
Window leap in dark disguise, fall upon the sword 
Torn apart by the wolves of your mind, a fate to face and ford

And oh, I swallow repeatedly 
My guilt, my envy, my past regrets
This life in overdrive
And now, the space walk of synergy
The air is thin, I'm floating in, I must acclimatise

Chorus

…..into the void, the ocean sky 
      time eclipsed, the worries swim on by 
      take a break, the air is clear  
      just for a moment, the truth, the end is    
      near  

First time down, you will taste fear
Second time the mother's tear
The third time, you're a maniac
Fourth time, you can't live like that
But the fifth time, there you go
You be breaking down  minutes,seconds are slowed
And you be walking on the water, walking on the water
You're a slave to the slaughter now

Five hits of acid, that's just what it takes 
Five hits of acid,  that's what it takes
Five hits of acid
Five hits of acid, do me good
Five hits of acid
Like I knew you would





Five Hits Of Acid

Nightfall

Look out! dear trees and daisies all
The darkness is about to fall!
Now to your beds you birds of day
Let the blind bat have his way
Then cuddle up all animals small
And sleep until the morning call
Cover your heads all flowery form
Protect your beauty 'till the morn
Farewell to colour and busy wings
Dream well, dear nature, of happy things

          * * * * *

Only the corn shall fear the light
There shall be no reaping here tonight

Written by Bill Stapleton 20th October, 1969

PENTACLE

I've told myself time and time again that writing a full score for a piece of media (Movie/TV/Game) would be the pinnacle of my music hobby. While my composition skills are definitely far from enough to do something massive like that, I do still enjoy writing to a theme/scene/idea in my head. 

All that being said, writing a score for a piece of literary fiction would've been the least expected thing on my list. Turns out, it's been one of the most enjoyable things I've done so far. 

Sovereign of Wrath is an original work of high-fantasy fiction by MadMaxine on both Scribblehub and Royal Road (see links below). I stumbled upon it a few weeks ago and ran through all 200-something chapters in under a week, absolutely hooked. The depth of the world and characters was superb and it almost immediately inspired me to try and write some music.

This specific piece focuses on the wedding in chapters 156 & 157, and it actually lines up pretty well with the writing if you start it playing at the beginning of the first paragraph. The section names and character themes are called out in the breakdown below - one of the most fun parts of writing this was thinking about the scene pacing in my head, as if they were scenes in a film.
