Lyrics for "What Is Above Or Below":

What is above or below
How could anyone know
All that lives invisible
Those extra dimensions indivisible

Unable to break apart
Impossible to change or alter

What is above or below
I really don’t know
How could any of us see clearly
Beyond the physical feeling
Beyond the daily reality

That we sense and encounter
No matter how deeply we ponder
No matter how profoundly we wonder
The mystery of the other
Realms

If they exist
Tell me how we can together enjoy this bliss
In ways that skeptics will be convinced

What is above or below
How could anyone know
All that lives invisible
Those extra dimensions indivisible

Unable to break apart
Impossible to change or alter

What Is Above Or Below

Lyrics:

Vaccine
You don't have to put on the mask tonight
Those days are over
The CDC was too often not right

Vaccine
You don't have to force the cure tonight
Some people don't want it
Don't worry, you've done what's right

Vaccine
You don't have to put on the mask tonight
Vaccine
You don't have to put on the mask tonight

Vaccine (Put on the mask tonight)
Vaccine (Put on the mask tonight)
Vaccine (Put on the mask tonight)
Vaccine (Put on the mask tonight)
Vaccine (Put on the mask tonight)
Vax

They told us since they knew us
They wouldn't talk down to us
I have to tell you just how I feel
I won't share you with a virus

I know immunity is made up
Of biological make up
Knew you once, I will know you again
COVID's here to stay

Vaccine
You don't have to put on the mask tonight
Vaccine
You don't have to put on the mask tonight
Vaccine (You don't have to put on the mask tonight)
Vaccine (Put on the mask tonight)
Vaccine (Put on the mask tonight)
Vaccine (Put on the mask tonight)
Vaccine (Put on the mask tonight)
Vaccine (Put on the mask tonight)
Vaccine (Put on the mask tonight)
Vaccine (Put on the mask tonight)
Vaccine (Put on the mask tonight)
Vaccine (Put on the mask tonight)
Vaccine (You don't have to put on the mask tonight)
Vaccine (Put on the mask tonight)
Vaccine (Put on the mask tonight)
Vaccine (Put on the mask tonight)
Vaccine (Put on the mask tonight)

Vaccine (Parody of Roxanne by The Police)

Ride

Yeah, I'm stuck here&#13;
In the modern age&#13;
Technological fears&#13;
We're trapped as slaves&#13;
&#13;
Inside my cubicle&#13;
With my computer screen&#13;
We're all just robots&#13;
Dying for money dreams&#13;
&#13;
Part of my thirst just won't die&#13;
It comes over the landslide&#13;
Of material things&#13;
To keep us satisfied&#13;
&#13;
I'm driving&#13;
I'm in traffic&#13;
Looking for an opening&#13;
If the seas would part&#13;
My car would be flying&#13;
&#13;
I've got no such luck&#13;
It'll be awhile&#13;
Can my soul stay alive&#13;
While I feel petrified&#13;
&#13;
Part of my thirst just won't die&#13;
It comes over the landslide&#13;
Of material things&#13;
To keep us satisfied&#13;
&#13;
I'm still hoping &#13;
We'll wake up&#13;
And realize&#13;
Life is meant to be free&#13;
If your heart tears out&#13;
A new way of living&#13;
You'd better follow it&#13;
For the sake of sanity

Lyrics for "Levitation Arrangement":

Please levitate

And everything you're saying
Gets discredited on the way in

You're a walking contradiction
Looking at the way you're living

You can't claim you believe
When you don't
Don't state you're loving
If you won't
It's just your foolish pride
That keeps you lying

Come clean
Admit your flaws
Come out of hiding

Please arrange to levitate
Levitate
Please levitate
Please levitate

Because if we can't be honest
We'll never know ourselves
We won't know when to carry on
Or when to ask for help

I'm looking for hope
In a world of confusion

It may hurt a whole lot
But I must abandon delusions

You tell me I've got to hold on
Hold on

You tell me what I'm supposed to living for

I'm so tired of cliches and empty words
I want to uncover some simple mystery
Of this universe

So levitate already

Come on

Levitation Arrangement

I categorize my tracks as "psychedelic folk-rock avant-garde electronic ambient experimental".  I compose rock songs, artsy electronic songs, folk songs, trippy psychedelic songs, instrumentals of just piano or guitar and various combinations of all these sonic forms.  These tracks of mine appear to be a cross between the styles of Brian Eno, Pink Floyd, Talking Heads, Beck, The The (Matt Johnson), late 1960s psychedelic rock/folk, non-cheesy/non-sentimental new age, industrial, 1980s British alternative rock, 1990s U2, Kraftwerk, a hopeful anti-bleak version of Radiohead, contemporary electronica, late 1970s David Bowie, post-punk, John Fahey, 1980s New Wave pop, noise rock and a positive incarnation of Depeche Mode.  

What does my music sound like to you?

Here are what I see as the biggest influences on what I've put together as a songwriter/musician:

Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Jeff Buckley, The The (Matt Johnson), 80s/90s Brit alt rock, Marc Bolan, U2, George Harrison, trip hop, Jeff Beck, Billy Joel, Elvis Presley, The Who, Enya, Woodstock style, David Bowie, Keith Green, Jimi Hendrix, atmospheric music, Van Halen, Elton John, The Kinks, Nirvana, Donovan, many Windham Hill artists, Tori Amos, Stevie Wonder, late 60s/70s/80s classic rock, Brian Eno, James Brown, T-Rex, Rush, Patty Griffin, Van Halen, Tchaikovsky, Sarah McLaughlin, The Verve, Richie Havens, Collective Soul, John Lennon, INXS, Parliament, Beethoven, The Cranberries, Sting, PFR, Bob Dylan, AC/DC, The Chemical Brothers, Stone Temple Pilots, The Waiting, Missing Persons, Kelley Stoltz, The Crystal Method, Guns N' Roses, Of Montreal, Coldplay, psychedelic/hippie rock from late 60s, The Doors, Missing Persons, Franz Schubert (piano, especially his impromptu compositions) and movie soundtracks "The Mission," "A Beautiful Mind", "Amistad", "Braveheart", "Gladiator", "The Firm", "Dances With Wolves" and "The Ghost and the Darkness".

I continue to write new material and edit old material.  I love feedback, so feel free to comment on this SoundCloud site or by emailing me at andyrhodescreative@gmail.com.

I am seeking a record label to sign with, so if you have any suggestions or connections that might help me achieve this, please let me know.  I don't perform live or tour, so my marketing strategy is focused on direct networking and word-of-mouth.

On the music recordings, I play guitar, piano, drums, harmonica, keyboard, sing, mix/edit the tracks and write the lyrics.  All of the song images (except for the album covers) were designed by me.  I also have art online that I have created: https://andyrhodesart.com

I've written a few paragraphs at the bottom of a different SoundCloud web page explaining how, in my mid-twenties, I began making these tunes after abandoning all former childhood creative activities in my teenage and young adult years: bit.ly/2F2dxVP. I'm grateful that I persevered during the past fifteen years or so, during which I committed myself to learning or relearning how to play instruments, compose songs, sing, craft poetry/lyrics and record at home.  My level of respect for professional musicians and artists grew exponentially as I realized just how hard this work can be.  Along the path of this personal musical evolution, I experienced a lot of encouragement and inspiration from countless friends, family, favorite musicians/artists, books, concerts and documentaries.

Many other creative projects keep me engaged. On my main site, I describe them this way: "I enjoy writing about politics, religion and philosophy. I craft poetry and fiction, along with composing music and creating artsy photography.’ A half dozen links are included there. Check it out if interested: andyrhodescreative.com

Thank you for visiting this site!  Enjoy the music!
 
Sincerely,
 
Andy Rhodes (Rhodesian Poet)
