Bitter Subconscious

www.CreativeSpiritOnline.com: "Like all of Brooks’s works, 'Airs & Recitations' is a virtuosic construction of densely complex rhythms and rigorous, dissonant pitch combinations. The marvel of it is: there’s tenderness and expressive lyricism packed into his highly organized musical language."

“Airs and Recitations” was completed in December, 2022 in Fairview, TX. The work is in three movements: Andante con moto, Largo espressivo, and Andante con brio.  Performance time is about 18 minutes. Printed and electronic copies of the score and instrumental parts are available for purchase from www.CreativeSpiritOnline.com.

Airs and Recitations - Fantasy for 9 Soloists and Strings (Now published at Creative Spirit Online)

for an old mate.............cheers for having a listen


sometimes i don't feel like being the social kind
catchup with you another day
i just need some time away, hope you don't mind

i did my time, paid my dues
wiped away my tears, sang my blues
said my goodbyes, some much too late
went to sleep with the devil, woke up a saint

if i could i think i would, get far away so im never found
but then again i don't like flying
so i'll just keep my good foot on the ground

i fought too much, sometimes not enough
tried to smooth out the edges, when its naturally rough
i've buttoned my lip, then yelled so loud
hung my head, then never felt so proud

to be a loner

Lyrics:
Weight of the world on my back but I keep on lifting
Sixth gear, now I'm shifting
Wide awake, but everybody's drifting
Drifting into a deep sleep
I put it all on the line, I've been risking my sanity
Wondering what's the point of existing
Still I keep persisting
Still I keep resisting
Storyline twisting
Now I see what's happening
Higher self tapping in
Spiritual war been battling
Spiritual war been fighting
Deep in the dark but I'm tryna bring light in
Deep in the depths I've been diving
I'm surviving
I can't stop til I'm thriving
I can't stop til I'm on top
And that's why I write rhymes non-stop

All this chaos and despair
The weight is too much to bear
It seems like no one even cares
So I’m drifting, I’m drifting
Let me stay unaware
Blur out the noise and the flares
I’m too numb to even care
I want to keep drifting, drifting away

I keep drifting away
For what seems like a million days
It used to be a dream, now I live it today
I don’t wanna be a cynic, I was living with hate
And I used to be digging my grave 
Now I’m digging in crates like J Dilla
And I’m tryna turn this to an 8 figure wage
Going round in circles like a figure of 8
And the potential’s infinity, I can’t let a bright spark fizzle away nag
Seeing colours like stained glass windows
Nowadays I’m living through the same dark limbo
So I’ve gotta spray bars, spit flows
Living off the radar been ghosting
I say rah, it’s dope
When I hear the beat and vocals
Can I find peace? I’m hopeful
Underneath the moonlight
And I can see that it’s so full

All this chaos and despair
The weight is too much to bear
It seems like no one even cares
So I’m drifting, I’m drifting
Let me stay unaware
Blur out the noise and the flares
I’m too numb to even care
I want to keep drifting, drifting
I want to keep drifting, drifting away

Wide awake, but everybody's drifting
Drifting into a deep sleep
(I want to keep drifting)
I keep drifting away
For what seems like a million days
(Away)

All this chaos and despair
The weight is too much to bear
It seems like no one even cares
So I’m drifting, I’m drifting
I want to keep drifting, drifting away
