In the beginning, the sheep were allowed to play
Being fed their bullshit, every single day
The motive of the prophets, makes it very clear
Obey us when we tell you to, and you’ll have nothing to fear

Trouble lies ahead, and it won’t be easy
The leaders of the world are very sleazy
Hands on the cash, a finger on the button
With no regard for the utter destruction

The orange glow’s still glowing on the horizon
Still giving hope to millions and millions
The motive of the prophets, makes it very clear
Rise up and don’t repeat; the sheep will still adhere

Into the darkness, we walk
But still, we don’t see
The storm is here, so save yourself
And come with me…

The Motive of the Prophets (Single)

Based on an improvised jam with keyboards and guitar drones. 
This extended soundscape shifts between lighter and darker textures seeking to ascend. The photo was taken in February 2022 at Castle Rigg stone circle.

Ascendant

This one is essentially a one-take guitar and vocal (well, this is technically take 2), plus a very very very simple slide guitar line and a harmony vocal.

It evolved out of me noodling a riff from an open-E tuning. I almost reverted to a standard, as I was struggling with the bridge, but I'm glad I persevered as I think the open tuning makes the guitar part sound a bit more interesting. I have to admit, the lyrics were a bit of an afterthought, and ended up being a case of choosing words that rhyme with 'bend' and retrofitting the other lines accordingly🤦

LYRICS:

We've been doing this ol' dance
So long, I swear
You say I'm an idiot
I say that's unfair
'Cause if you bend a little
I'll meet you halfway there

I’ve been pulling at this thread
And so have you
Baby, we’re unravelling
Like we always do
But if you mend a little
I’ll meet you halfway there

And I don’t even know the truth of it
Just know I hate to be apart
So when you ask me what’s the use of it
I point a finger to my heart

I’m planting out these seeds
On a sunny day
Gonna cover them with earth
Then hope and pray
And if you tend a little
I’ll meet you halfway there

Halfway There

Quintet: Zugth II

From the EP "Smilers" June 2023
Hello Oxnard!!!
We're a rock & roll band
We'll rock & roll until we die
We've got rock & roll in our souls
And it's eating it's way out from the inside
Cover band superstars!

We look like we've been going about 20 years too long
5 fat geezers
All playing a different song
We're encumbered by music industry success
But, we are pure
We are holy
Cover band superstars!

We we're gonna put out our 1st album
It would be a masterpiece
Then we we're gonna fake our own deaths
Thereby securing our legacy
In the rock & roll mythology
Oh, but look at me now
Singing songs
"pour some sugar on me"
"anyone wanna hear bohemian rhapsody?"

It's enough to make you fall out of love with rock & roll
You know who we are
Meet me at the bar
Cover band superstars!

A man has to live his dreams
No matter what...

Cover Band Superstars!

Short Music For Marc L. - Part One

Lyrics:

Well, I thought I was the strong one
A pillar in the sand
You have always been so fragile
I’ve tried to understand
But it seems I’m just better
At hiding my pain
And it’s welled up inside me again

I thought I was supposed to fix you
Turns out I’m broken too
When all of these feelings burst through
Turns out I’m as broken as you

You say I just ignore you
You say I’m never there
I wish that I was different
I really do, I swear
But these songs in my head
Give me comfort, you see
Without them I wouldn’t be me

I thought I was supposed to fix you
Turns out I’m broken too
When all of these feelings burst through
Turns out I’m as broken as you

Broken

My reality is to help people and mentor them as musicians. My dream is for their dreams to become a reality and for people out there to get to love them.

Mamma Mia - Nicole Edwards
