A Final Buddha is a song about the sexual frustration and spiritual confusion of a man Jackie who lives in the near future.

A Final Buddha

Happy belated 19th to Abi.
Known Abi for a 2 years now and he will tell you he’s like a grumpy old man. He reminds me of Otto from Life of Otto in his younger days. A good man who’s recently won an award for being the best leader and the smartest in his university. Abi is modest and he’ll say, “I sound like I’m bragging.” Well, he just stated the fact that he did win. He’s also a loner who doesn’t smoke and drink which makes it near impossible to make friends in his Mexican university. Admirable really. I was nothing like that.He also wrote a letter to his school complaining about how the professors were too lax. It kinda worked. I do hope he’ll make a few friends and also it would be awesome to work with him on a score in the future.

Song goes:
E9 then triplet scratch then E13 followed by a chromatic run. Verse is E mixolydian. Bit of pushing for the rhythm during prechorus. Simple chorus. Bridge is 9/4 then 7/4 twice so adds up to 32 bars. 4/4 bongos going on gives it polyrhythm. Also a chromatic mediant progression going from Em to G#. Lead  guitar plays hindu scale in the second prechorus and Dorian in the bridge. 

Lyrics: Basically it’s an anti worship song against all forms of worship including pagan worship. Here are the lyrics with annotations

State your name Gloria. State your claim your fame     (Gloria might have been there cos’ the vocal run in ‘Rooster’ by AiC is gorgeous)
when my time is up. Cos' it's never enough, maybe you've failed to fill my cup
Prophets standing on the street. Butchers with all their meat. Can you put my mind at ease
I got more where this comes from. I'm just waiting for my last breath

Prechorus
It's not worth it so we're running on down the hill (we’re gonna take it alright)
Wanna see that your fake smile can be real (set it alight)

Chorus

Silence said the angel to the night
Bow down said the demon to his right. (It sounded badass)
I believe in darkness
I believe in magic
I believe what's tragic
Will save me from harm

Verse 2

You've got the nerve to ask. That woman her age
don't you think before you speak. If you wanna leave here in one piece
Got no time. For time. Got no watch on my grind (I really don’t wear a watch. A smartphone will tell you the time)
So I speak my mind. And I don't speak for all humankind

Pre Chorus 2
It's not pagan when it's part of your core beliefs (namaste)      (Making fun of paganism. I improvised namaste as I thought it sounded spiritual and turns out is Hindi)
That subconscious need to get on your knees. (Touche)

Chorus 2
Silence said the angel to the night
Bow down said the demon to his right
I believe in darkness
I believe in magic
I believe what's tragic
Will save me from harm

Outro:
I believe in darkness
I believe in magic
I believe what's tragic
Will save me from harm

You Left My Heart In A Sling
© Andrew Dolphin 2024

Got a dose of the lovers blues
Like a first scuff on new shoes
Spit and polish ain’t gonna move
The deepness of this groove 
Got a dose of a foggy mind
And the way ahead ain’t signed 
The thought I need I cannot find
I don’t feel aligned 

You broke my circuit
You took the biscuit
I cannot risk it again
It’s how you left me 
With a broken wing

You left my heart in a sling oh baby
You left my heart in a sling yeah yeah
You left my heart in a sling oh baby 
You left my heart in a sling yeah yeah
The cast is set
Around the break you left

You believe that this pain is fake
‘Cos you cannot see the break
The conclusion that you make 
I’m feigning this heartache
The move you made that left me broke
Hid that dagger in your cloak 
Made a lie of words we spoke 
The pain they now evoke 

You broke my circuit
You took the biscuit
I cannot risk it again
It’s how you left me 
With a broken wing

You left my heart in a sling oh baby
You left my heart in a sling yeah yeah
You left my heart in a sling oh baby 
You left my heart in a sling yeah yeah
The cast is set
Around the break you left

All along you had me believing 
Yet your true thoughts you were shielding 
Yes all along your axe was wielding
About to strike 

You left my heart in a sling oh baby
You left my heart in a sling yeah yeah
You left my heart in a sling oh baby 
You left my heart in a sling yeah yeah
The cast is set
Around the break you left

You Left My Heart In A Sling

Ether Symphony

In my stone tower, high above the restless town,
My chamber's quiet, save for parchment laid down.
Only for the brew of blackest bean, I dare descend,
Then back to my sanctuary, where thoughts and shadows blend.

My words travel on invisible steeds so bold,
From this fortress aloof, to the hearths now cold.
A visage in a frame, confined by magic lore,
My counsel spread afar, from shore to distant shore.

I'm the hermit, let me be,
Silence here, thoughts roam free.
Speak not, don't disturb my think,
In solitude's depth, I link.

When the scrolls are rolled and the quill pens dry,
I muse on the silence that money can't buy.
Is this tower my haven, or is it my cage?
Only the echoes of ages will gauge.

Yet in this quiet, my soul's eye sees clear,
In the calm between messages, truth draws near.
The brew steams like a potion, calling me forth,
A hermit midst commerce, unmeasured in worth.

Let me be, let me think,
In this silence, on the brink.
Speak not, disturb not, let me be,
Solitude is where I'm free.

Hermit's heart, hermit's mind,
In my keep, peace I find.
Let me be, let me dream,
In quiet waters, thoughts stream.

Speak not, disturb not, let me be,
In solitude, I find the key.
Hermit's call, hermit's plea,
In this silence, let me be.

Let me be, let me think,
In this silence, on the brink.
Speak not, disturb not, let me be,
Solitude is where I'm free.

Hermit's heart, hermit's mind,
In my keep, peace I find.
Let me be, let me dream,
In quiet waters, thoughts stream.

Speak not, disturb not, let me be,
In solitude, I find the key.
Hermit's call, hermit's plea,
In this silence, let me be me.

"The Hermit" is a blend of genres, where the soulful depths of delta blues meet the ancient sounds of medieval instruments. This song tells the story of a solitary figure, isolated in a stone tower, finding peace and profound insights away from the bustling world below. The track explores themes of solitude, self-reflection, and the eternal search for truth. Each verse invites you to ponder the balance between isolation and inner peace, questioning whether solitude is a prison or a gateway to deeper understanding.

NOW YOU’RE KNOCKIN LIKE I WAS BACK THEN

REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID
WHEN YOU TOLD ME THAT I WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND

WELL HOW COULD I FORGET
WHEN I KNEW  YOU WERE TALKING ‘BOUT ME
SO MUCH WISDOM IN YOUR SYMPATHY

BUT WHO’S THAT KNOCKIN ON MY BACK DOOR
LIKE THE WAY I'VE DONE BEFORE
WHO’S THAT LOOKIN LIKE I WAS BACK THEN

WHAT YOU LOOKIN HERE FOR ANYWAY

OH DARLING YOU CAN’T GO BLAMING ME FOR YOU
‘CAUSE YOU GOT TO FEEL LIKE A FOOL

IF YOU WANNA FIND SOMEONE TO BLAME

LIKE THE WAY I DONE BEFORE
NOW YOU’RE LOOKIN LIKE I WAS BACK THEN
AND I’M WONDERIN WONDERIN
WHAT YOU LOOKIN FOR ANYWAY
WE’VE SAID ALL THERE IS TO SAY
THERE AINT NO ONE 
LEFT TO BLAME

I Still Want To Marry You- (Featuring Cassandra Reed)

From the live houses of the Jing to busking in tunnels (Granted, the 33.3% donation rate was based on the fact that he had removed his stifling white collar shirt and was dancing bare chested) in Singapore, Psychedelic Revolution (aka Psyche Rev) is a one man project that likes most things such as alt r&b and alt rock. Made it as a semi finalist in 'Song of the Year' competition in 2022 with his song 'Cassius.' Finalist in 2023 with 'We'll Go Down.' Finalist in 2024 with 'Sigh' and also taking semi finalist positions with 'Heartbeats & Inner Turmoil' and 'You Had Me'. Finalist in 2025 with 'Cold Cold Storm' and semi finalist with 'So Typical.' Tastes like Kung Pao Chicken. Looks like a cross between Brag Pitt and Heath Leather. Smells like team spirit. Feels like baby powder. Oh the music. Yeah, it sounds good. 


Don't respond to DM's on here so if you would like to get touched pls contact  via some other avenue. He does have a sun fetish though.

Daily Musing:

Nov: Funk
Dec: a cover. Demo version. But I will do a full length cover for once.
 I've been thinking that I want to do a 'How to Train Your Dragon' theme. I've really only seen the third one and the live action version (the recent) but they moved me. Multiple times. I was with my friends and I took off my 3D glasses. Started wiping my eyes. Look to the right and everyone else is just fine.
Which reminds me of when I was in the band in uni and my Indian friend/guitarist started teasing me about crying in Titanic. 
"I was 6! Motherfucker you cried in Lagaan!"
Then he started chasing me around. Cos' that's what guys do when they like each other. 
 Which I guess also says something about how the filmmakers handled No Time to Die. 
So maybe like medieval rnb. Worked for Seal.
The only low for this year has been working with the label. They are called Raw Doggy Records. I contacted them saying I know you guys do electronic but I don't. They did like my music. Were gonna release stuff. Then they heard the mix for 'Heartbeats' and wanted me to remix some songs. I said, "that costs money." Then, I changed my mind and still got that mixer to mix the old songs. 3 of em' and then the label said, "to be honest, we prefer the older mixes." They were taking 2 weeks to reply to my emails aaand not so much as a "sorry we made you pay all that money for...nothing." So I said, "to be honest, I prefer the new mixes" which is a polite way of saying "go fuck yourself." And, that was that. They seemed to have gotten the msg. If you check out the artists on their roster all I can say is, "it's not my cuppa tea" I prefer electronic music like Daft Punk/Kavinsky/Infected Mushroom etc. The good news is that I wasn't particularly down about it.
Regarding Bharat, he's really the first person who believed in me as a singer so I owe him that much (or quite a lot). It meant and still means a lot to me because i consider him the best guitarist I've heard. I've heard Fripp, Slash, Petrucci, Laiho, and attended a Hendrix tribute with Eric Johnson, Satriani, Vai etc. He only practised 4 hours a day after school by ear. I could do that for the rest of my life and get to 1/5 as good as him.  It began in Florence and there was this kid from Jersey called Alex who was a somewhat decent singer and a good pianist. He was better than me at the time at singing.  I give Bharat an A- as a band leader cos' he was very patient with Rauf, our friend and bassist who barely practised. With me, he was encouraging. So, I think they thought they could fit Alex and me in the band together. I had no problem with that. Now Alex had an interesting take on songwriting which was to bring pop into whatever genre. So if it was rock he liked Spin Doctors. Now, don't get me wrong, I like 'MMMbop' by Hanson every now and then but in a band, playing that type of stuff? No. Bharat and I were on the same page. He liked his metal, hard rock. So, Alex would sing whenever I sung. Or make noises cos' he was the better singer. Zero band etiquette but...I can see where he's coming from. Bharat did nothing about that which is where the A- comes in. So, I got fed up with Alex acting like a child and walked out of rehearsal. My goal was to find the nearest American for inspiration. This was when I was in NY. I ran into a marine near a bar after 30 secs. I said, "Look we're in a band and we wanna play hard rock but there's this kid that keeps singing whenever I sing..."
*inspirational moment right here*
"ah fuck it. what am I saying? I'm gonna go back in there and kick his ass...musically."
"Sounds good man."
"Thanks for serving the country!"
So that was what happened and I walked in there danced and sung. Alex got all red in the face. And, that was the last time we had band practise together. I actually wasn't that confident back then and it was the first time singing for a band. Now, I would say to Bharat,
"hey, can you tell your friend to stfu when I'm singing?"

As far as my middle school 'friends' go, well I'm really a huge fan of that guy one who went through his ex's phone, cried on a date, and then hacked her when she broke up with him. The quote was, "what did I do wrong?" A better question would be "what did I do right?"
And the answer to that question is...nothing. 
"Critics are saying Em's new stuff is as good as his old stuff."
A) music critics are more like lyrical critics. 
B) I'd be satisfied with "music critics are saying ...and I agree."
This quote just shows a lack of ...identity.
"We've been fans of Em since Infinity."
Now, this is like saying I've been a fan of Prince since Purple Rain or a fan of GNR since Appetite. Anyone with half a decent brain would go, "motherfucker you weren't born in the 80's."
And then there was the talking in 3rd person. The ' so and so 2.0.' 
A definite upgrade in the hacking department and a downgrade in the EQ department. 
I'm also really a huge fan of the guy who kicked his ex.
I'm also a huge fan of the guy who got his head shoved down the toilet and claimed 'PTSD.' 
Soldiers who've served in Iraq and Afghanistan: Really? Would he like to go on tour with us?
I think he'd die of super PTSD before the plane takes flight so I can answer for him.
So this guy spends the better half of his 20's accusing his friends of "shoving a lollipop up his ass."
After telling him twice, "I didn't do it" he finally believes it when he the people that did do it tell him. Now, ya see toilet humour is more of Gazza's thing and not mine. In Gazzas' defence, no one shoved a lollipop up his ass. They put it on his ass cheeks. 
So if we slippery slope the guy who's been there since Infinite and the guy who got a lollipop 'shoved up his ass' . Maybe when he reaches 40 he'll tell the truth. By the way, 'alleviate' is an SAT word. Good job. Try using a word that the average mortal uses like 'lessen' instead of trying to impress other people with that thing you call a brain.
 I'm dying to hear a conversation between you two.
"I was here since the dinosaurs." Oh this is the guy who gets offended if you make fun of his ears. I haven't really said the worst thing he's done cos' that would make his ex 'flip out.' Not sure she knows. Well, his lil bro discovered it on his computer and I saw.

"Well you guys decapitated me in grade 8."


Well wasn't it Gazza? btw he dislikes it when you call him this. He dislikes a lot of things really and he really only does things he 'feels like'.  One of my fave things he's shared on wechat before was when he shared "I'm not racist but guys like this give black people a bad name." Which was a fancy way of saying I'm not racist but I actually am. Which is also really rich considering he used to say the N word a lot when he was young. Then, there was the hilariously self aware post him moaning about people who moan on the basketball court. Truly a man's man is Gazza.  See Gazza here sulks and pouts more than any other guy I know. Entire chapters could be dedicated to him sulking. That one time he got poor grades. Those weeks he got his high school gf pregnant. He makes Nicholas Anelka (Le Sulk) look like Roy Keane. 
After thinking for a bit about why he would make fun of my ex for not having any boobs it's cos Gazza here had moobs back in the day and needed to bring someone else down to make his fat self feel better about himself. Don't worry Gazza, when the moobs return when you're older I'll be laughing. 
006: I can't believe you dislike him more than me. 
For your ex James?
No, for me.
Things I like about 006:
-his charisma
-his humour
-his soft side when he admits to crying to 'Spaceship' and 'Hey Mama.' I don't get why he cries in 'Spaceship' but...I can respect that.  Cos' a fair assessment of his English and it's fluent but I don't think he understands 100% of Kanye's lyrics. He gets the chorus for sure. 


I heard some people wanted to donate some money and pay for my monthly mixing. And, I was very happy about it. I recently came into some money like how Starlight got insurance. The first thing that came into my mind was how I didn't have to take shit from my bosses anymore. You know, they say "不是说人是说事" (I'm critisizing what you did. Not you as a person) And, it's these same people that proceed to critisize you as a person after that. So, I no longer have to take that shit and I couldn't be happier. So, it's an A+ of a year. I'm still temping every Tuesday. Thankfully, the new school seems to be accomodating. What happened at the last school was...an obvious case of "management is restructuring"
Since Starlight might still be feeling semi embarassed about her insurance I got plenty of 'embarassing' moments with her. She was like the first girl I liked who I talked to. So, it was actually outside Gazza's place where I said,
"Happy bday Starlight, here's a cake. Bye." I said it quickly. Understandable yes, but much quicker than how I usually say things. Followed by 2 years later,
"I'm sorry for what i did to you."
"It's OK."
There you have it. My only 2 lines with her. I do have probably over 10k worth of lines with her...on MSN Messenger. Yes, it was a proper 00's romance. 
The song...if you like it it's for you. I don't want to put pressure on anyone by saying it's for anyone.
