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

I'm a singer songwriter of travelling years with a little to say both emotionally and musically. 
I'm inspired by hope and the fight though the struggle in life ....
I found a home in Cornwall UK , where the creation of music is easy going...
May you find peace where you are too.

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:

The schedule is like this cos’ one song takes a huge amount of time to produce. Then the next will be easier as a sort of break. So if I equal any one of these reference tracks I’m doing well. I might get someone to help me with the mastering,. Mastering is pretty cheap. Since 25’s Vesper Lynd took 15 hours of prod work I want to pace myself. 
Jan: rnb. Ballad-‘The love we make’ as inspiration       Prod Difficulty 10:10
Feb: stomp n holler folk ‘ Sleep Deprivation’ by Chance Pena as inspiration          2/10
March: Serious pop. Srsly. Like indie pop. ‘ Using ‘The Lake Heard Everything’ as inspiration. OK that song might be AI. First time a human is trying to be more like AI instead of the other way around. So this might be our sad song of the year.   5/10
April: shelved retro soul tune
May: Abi’s birthday. I want to do a ‘build up’ rock song. With a lot of suspense.       6/10
June: How to train your dragon theme          10/10
July: daft punk electronic danceable tune.    7/10
August: Trap electronic hybrid. Royalty by Ezgod as inspiration. This is probably the hardest to do as the production is immense on that song. 10/10
Sep:: dark rnb        8/10    using any of 1984’s tracks as inspiration. He’s a very solid producer here on Soundcloud.But I will do a full length cover for once.
