Life is amazing. Flowers grow in sidewalks, hawks make nests on top of skyscrapers, sun is warm, rain is life giving.
I think we complicate life by confusing it with "living" by goals and imposed "desires" that make us anxious: need more money/have to live in a penthouse/bigger faster cars/
It's not bad to work and produce but when you lose sight of mortality/empathy/sharing. then your "productivity" will not bring you satisfaction or peace.
we are very temporary. It is just as easy to care as it is to hoard and to help as it is to hate.
anyways I hope you enjoy this song.I'mplaying around with guitar notes, no structure just let the fingers go wherever whenever

tiny little lizard scampers on the screen
grabbing tight the wires with his tiny little feet
gets into a spot of sun that hits him on his back
he's so happy now I wish I could always feel like that

happy little firefly flits across the lawn
flashing bright his small tail light ,singing his happy song
nothing here to slow him down or cause him pain or fright
I wish that when I walk out side I'd always shine that bright

So I'm the only one in the world today
the only one here to sing and play
I put on my Sunday best
I say to heck with all the rest
I'm going to walk among flowers and trees
No people here to fear or please
I'll let the sun warm my back
I'll let my light shine bright
Not worry so much about living
but just go celebrate life

it's not that complicated

They regard themselves as aliens in their own world

Be Right Back

[Verse]
I learned to smile,
The way they do,
But their laughter fades,
And I’m left confused.
Words are easy,
But meanings hide,
In the space between,
Where I reside.

[Chorus]
I see the world, just like they do,
But I’ll never look in their eyes.
I blend right in, in the light of day,
But inside, I'm lost in their lies.

[Verse]
Their faces shift,
But I can’t see,
The lines they draw,
Weren’t meant for me.
I read the books,
I know the rules,
But in their world,
I’m just a fool.

[Chorus]
I see the world, just like they do,
But I’ll never look in their eyes.
I blend right in, in the light of day,
But inside, I'm lost in their lies.

[Bridge]
Behind the mask,
I wear so well,
Is a heart that aches,
A silent yell.

[Chorus]
I see the world, just like they do,
But I’ll never look in their eyes.
I blend right in, in the light of day,
But inside, I'm lost in their lies.
I'm lost in their lies

Note: In light of the recent AI breakthroughs, we feel it's important to clarify that we've been working with voice modulation since the mid-1990s – originally inspired by David Bowie's album Outside. Our approach predates AI-driven tools and is rooted in treating the voice as an instrument, shaped and sculpted through earlier technologies.

We fully understand that questioning authenticity may not be the intention – but it's worth remembering that all electronic music is, by nature, mediated and transformed. Even Nietzsche pointed out how modern tools shape us: inserting paper into a typewriter already creates a distance that handwriting does not. Perhaps birdsong is the only truly authentic sound. 🐦
