Happy b-day Abi.  His fave director is Stanely Kubrick. I asked him to rec me a film last year and he said “Happiness with Philip Seymour Hofman.” I thought it was creative and funny and sad. He has higher moral standards than me. Found his gf perverted.  I would have called it kinky. I was going to tell him to lower his standards but if someone said, “maybe you should cheat”to me I’d say “no” cos a)your gf is supposed to be one of your best friends and b)it’s disrespectful. If I treat one of my best friends with disrespect how can I treat my friends well?  So I think Abi should do Abi. Other than that Abi sent me a pic and I told him he looked a bit like Rami Malek. He wasn’t too fond of that but Rami Malek isn’t bad looking and Abi looks 16.

I thought the whole song was A Dorian but it’s actually A dorian b2 alternating with A dorian for the verses.  I came up with the riff and wanted to make it more complex so I used the same strumming technique for ‘Can’t Stop.’ First time I used hand clicks for a song and also first time I’ve kept an entire song all modal. Thought the vocal phrasing was quite ZZ Ward for the verse and I wanted to  make it more hard rock sounding like Soundgarden. So the verses sound quite ZZ Garden or Soundward (Squidward). The bass in the verses is playing a simplified version of the bass line in ‘Come Together.’ I do like the vocal phrasing for ‘yet in the mix I found joy’ for the chorus. First time I’m doing that much falsetto for lead which is inspired by QOTSA. Some counter melodies for the beginning of verse 2. Fave use of counter melody is probably the 2nd half of ‘Emotion Sickness’ from Silverchair. I added some congas and wanted the same rhythm as the percussion from ‘Roots Bloody Roots’ but I decided to keep things simple and accent the 2 vocal syllables.. Then, the last chorus I was going to copy paste my piano parts but accidentally copy pasted my lead guitar over and that improved the groove.

Lyrics: Written by SGOR. Some guy on reddit. Lost contact. If it sounds like it was written an angsty teen that’s cos’ it was written by an angsty teen. Terrific message about finding empathy. Not sure about how death fits into all this.  ‘There can be miracles when you believe’ is cheesy on paper but I don’t think it’s cheesy when you hear it. ‘If you squeeze my lizard I’ll put my snake on you’ is ridiculous on paper but badass when you hear it. Depends on vocal tone, phrasing, delivery, and melody.

Stranded on a desert planet, lost in my own curse,
As if I caused a cataclysm, but all I did was change.
I was Found in the mud, like a coin in ruin's dust,
Polished up, made to fake, like I hadn't seen the rust.
Hear a beating heart in the darkness,
I've been lost, I've been found, I've wandered so long,
I found myself in you, but in the end, it wasn't me I found.

Ride with me through the storms of life, (it was fly with me originally and I am not singing that)
Let our hopes shine bright,  (it was light shine bright originally)
Like we've been struck by lightning, 
Revealed 
As something in the night.
I came to life when loss became real,
Felt pain and sympathy,
Yet in that mix, I found joy, found a way to be.
Am I cursed? I'll never know, but I'll embrace it all,
Life is its own limit, 
perfection in its sprawl.
The final goodbye, the chill of death, it comes for us all,

Running through the lost ruins of an apocalypse. (I wanted to give some more sensory elements to a song that was very much ‘in its feelings. So I matched the idea of a cataclysm. Took about 10 secs to type out)
Found myself with spears and arrows and feeling generous
Smeared my face in mud, like an Indian warchief
I’ve been dead, I’ve come to life, I’ve wandered so long
I found myself in you, but in the end it wasn’t me that I found

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'. 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:

My first mix for my bond theme should come out on the 15th of this month. I don't know if I'll be satisfied with it (prob not) so I'm not quite sure when it will be out. Probably before the 25th though. :) all is well and I think it's one of my fave songs I've written.



September: Trap Soul Song I've been shelving
October: I think I'm gonna do a chill hop/jazz hop thing with Coltrane changes. Done a instrumental before but never done a vocal jazz hop thing.
