In remembrance of John Prine, and my reaction to the increase in our society in the last few years (Trumpers) of "humans who aren't human" (to quote JP). Billy was "just a gentle boy, a real florescent light."

🇬🇧 Have you ever had the feeling of being stared by someone, even without being able to see if the observer was there? This phenomenon is called psychic staring effect, or Scopaesthesia, which is also the name of the mysterious and intense music that Earthspace presents to the world in its first release on DM7 Records! Would we have the capacity to feel it in an extrasensory way?

I’ve Found What I’m Looking For 9-19-18

dancing with your ghost

This one is from 2003. In my last year of film school my friend Dustin and I starting collaborating on scores for student projects. It was a great way for both of us to explore different genres that we typically wouldn’t write or perform. 

He was in a band called Everything Was Perfect and he had a small recording studio in his basement, so it was a great setup for experimenting and just spending weekends recording whatever we felt like. 

I forget exactly how it started, but at some point we decided to move away from soundtracks and to start an actual rock band called Dhorque (pronounced Dork but spelt Dhorque for some reason that we found hilarious). 

I had a few acoustic demos that I thought might work as Dhorque songs and Neighbourhood Hero was one of two “rock songs” that we recorded together. 

Dustin was good friends with Dallas Green and while we were recording this song he came over and hung out. We showed him the song and because he’s a nice guy he said something really positive and supportive like “cool song” or “I like it”. Then he picked up an acoustic guitar and starting playing some songs that he was going to record for his first City and Colour album and I remember being immediately struck with awe and envy. Like “Oh, this is what an actual musical genius sounds like. I’ll see myself out then.” 

Not that anyone should compare his or her talents to someone like Dallas Green. He’s a superstar for a reason. But in that moment, with all my insecurities and naivety, it was very hard not to quickly see where I stood on the talent scale.  

Anyways – I still think this is a “cool song” recorded by two dorks who had no idea what they were going to do with a film diploma – but they at least knew they wanted to make music while they figured it out.

I’ll also upload the original acoustic demo so you can listen to that one too.

Dustin: drums, background vocals

LYRICS:

You know that I’ll be there
You know that time don’t count
You know what I’ll be doing here
Because you know what I’ve done

You said that you’d smile again
Because you’ve been through worse than this
You know that I am nowhere near
A sort of denouement 

Knowing you won’t heat it up without a fire

I’ll be a neighbourhood hero
Like I said so before
And I will stop world hunger
Because I wont eat anymore
But please don’t mess with my body
When I’m dead on my bedroom floor
I know you’re coming over
I’ll try my best not to lock the door

Avaz and Chill (II)

We live in a time where anxiety and despair are increasingly commonplace but also a time where there is greater openness about mental health issues and where hope exists though communal support. Sunshine In My Brain speaks to the desperation that many people experience and the hope that each new day will bring some sunshine to their lives.
