Lyrics:
take off the smile from your face and
make sure the one that you're making 
tells me all about the things that you can care about
Face off against every naysay, shake off the feelings of mainstay
chronically you are also making me feel like I can turn grey
 
I see myself as the nothing, pass by and turn into coffee
Don't laugh the concept is blotchy, and I find it's smarter anyways
tack on, just fake your demeanor, against the vanity bleeder, 
wake up I guess you're a dreamer and I think you're just dreaming it away

laugh at the faces of evil, turns out the mirror's revealed, 
turns out the faces are real and it looks like they all are the same 
I cannot turn any corner, or can I burn any order, 
I guess I can be a mourner, maybe cause my soul has burned away
 
how can you know? I guess the records show
that you don't know, That we don't know. oh.

My 5th place entry for N64 month for Dwelling of Duels. Picked an obscure-ass jazz fusion-ass incredibly difficult track to play from Mickey's Speedway USA. Enjoy!

every summer, my family and i would travel to an island to visit my surrogate grandparents.

i had this image in my brain of the island being the most perfect place on the planet. but when i returned there years later, i came to realize that such a place had never existed.

the land itself, the nature, was still beautiful, but the inhabitants were corrupting it. it wasn’t the haven that i remembered, except for my surrogate grandparents, who remain the light of the island.

i still love the island, but my idea of it has eroded. nothing is perfect.

this album is a bittersweet ode to a beloved place that has become unfamiliar over time.

dedicated to Judy and Stan.

Happy Happening

I'm making a mario kart 64 inspired album thats why I havent been posting as much lately. I'm making it in a alternative universe where instead of mario being the main character its based around Bowser instead. Hence Super Bowser Kart 64. All of the tracks are inspired and are time period inspired as well so alot of referencing of Japanese Funk / Jazz / Fusion music.

Super Bowser Kart 64 - WarioTemple (Not a real mario 64 kart track but inspired)

And So It Begins...
