COOL HEAT - Harmless

HAMMS IN A GLASS

I don't know where I am anymore
Need a personality but i got four
And all my selves are always at war with myself
I'm at war with myself

I don't know who I am when I cry
A frightened stranger I wish he would die
Why am I always tempted to lie to myself
I lie to myself

Why does everyone hate me?
Never asked you to rate me
Feeling alienated lately, I just cry
I just cry

Look in the mirror, I see no one there
Skin full of holes and ink everywhere
long fingernails and neon blue hair, i'm a mess
I am a hot mess

Why does everyone hate me?
Never asked you to rate me
Feeling alienated lately, I just cry
I just cry

War With Myself

[Verse 1]
Wake up, whole world’s fucked, not giving a damn,
Bitter taste in my mouth from this goddamn sham,
Every lie, every fake smile’s just a thorn in my side,
I’m drowning in noise, nowhere left to hide.

[Pre-Chorus]
Sick to my core, can’t take no more,
Aching for silence in this raging war,
Fuck your rules, your perfect day,
I’m burning this pain away.

[Chorus]
Fuck today, yeah, fuck today,
Tired of bullshit, just fade away,
I’m done, I’m done, no time to play,
Fuck today, yeah, fuck today.

[Verse 2 (Catchy flow, luring melody with hard punches, repeated for impact)]
Clocks ticking, but I’m stuck, lost in this grind,
Every second’s a battle, tearing up my mind,
Screaming in silence, but no one hears the sound,
This crooked world can kiss my ass, I’m breaking ground.

[Pre-Chorus]
Sick to my core, can’t take no more,
Aching for silence in this raging war,
Fuck your rules, your perfect day,
I’m burning this pain away.Chorus
Fuck today, yeah, fuck today,
Tired of bullshit, just fade away,
I’m done, I’m done, no time to play,
Fuck today, yeah, fuck today.

[Bridge]
Tear down these walls, let the fire rage,
Scream my truth on this burning stage,
No more chains, no more lies,
This fucked-up world can kiss my goodbye.

[Final Chorus]
Fuck today, yeah, fuck today,
Tired of bullshit, just fade away,
I’m done, I’m done, no time to play,
Fuck today, yeah, fuck today.Fuck today, every goddamn day,
Sick of pretending, sick of this play,
I’m done, I’m done, hear me say,
Fuck today, yeah, fuck today.

Fuck Today

“Astro Man” was originally recorded in 1970 during the final creative period of J. Hendrix, later released posthumously on Cry of Love and First Rays of the New Rising Sun.
Inspired by Jimi’s love for sci-fi comics and his fascination with the unknown universe, the song reflects his playful, imaginative side—mixing humor, cosmic metaphors and a driving funk-rock pulse that anticipates much of the modern groove-rock language.

This version is a complete guitar reinterpretation, arranged and performed by Maurizio Oddone, preserving the spirit of the original while expanding the psychedelic energy through enhanced guitar textures, expressive wah phrasing, and dynamic electric tone design.

Structure of the Track:

Intro: space-echo motif and groove setup

Main Riff: energetic funk-rock foundation

Verse Guitar Lines: playful, narrative phrasing

Middle Section: psychedelic color and modal expansion

Final Build-Up: cosmic tension and explosive guitar release

This track is part of the album:
Transfigured Rays – The New Rising Sun Sessions (Vol. 1)
released under Blue Wild Angel Records.

A tribute to the visionary genius of Hendrix—a cosmic journey beyond the stars, through the language of the electric guitar.

New single "Hardcore!" is out now! 🦸🏻‍♀️🍬

CARR didn’t move to LA to pursue a career in music, but rather fell into it after taking a night  job at a studio to pay the bills. When there was unbooked time in a room, she and friends would take advantage and mess around with the boards for fun. 

CARR had already begun to make a name for herself before being introduced to punk luminaries Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy) and Spencer Smith (Panic! At The Disco) who signed her to their label DCD2 Records. CARR was named one of Alt Press’ Artists To Watch who described her music as “exactly the kinds of songs you want to sing/scream along to into your hairbrush-microphone in your bedroom.” Her songs have found a home on KCRW and Jack Saudner’s BBC Radio 1 show, while Ones To Watch praised her “indisputable talent” and “brutally honest” lyricism. Simultaneously leaving nothing and everything to the imagination. 

Now, in 2025, CARR steps into a new era—still laced with her signature sarcasm and bite, but with fresh edges and unexpected turns.
