This morning, The Artist Taxi Driver - Mark McGowan - posted on youtube a glorious rant about the 'Clean for the Queen' campaign.

Environment Minister Rory Stewart said: “Her Majesty The Queen is an inspiration to all of us. Her 90th birthday is a unique opportunity for people to come together in celebration of Her Majesty’s long service and dedication to this country. Everyone has a responsibility to keep their community tidy and this campaign provides us with a great chance to protect our wildlife and improve the quality of our streets and public spaces. I hope it will help lead to a lasting legacy of a cleaner, tidier Britain.”


I have chopped and fiddled and had fun remixing Mark McGowans rad rant this morning onto original music of mine. I haven't asked his permission, I'm sure he wouldn't mind. If he does I've got him all wrong. The music is my own. I didn't ask the queen for permission to use her voice, cos, you know, who cares

So here's my first album of original songs, 'Queens of Air and Darkness'. Which, both lyrically and musically, chronicles my journey from the mid-90's til now. To really explain where these songs come from I need to give a bit of background.

My early musical background is in classical composition and before that I was a teenage metalhead drummer with complex PTSD. 

I got my college degree in composition and percussion then promptly dropped out of society and lived in the woods for 15 years so I could be a hippy freak meditating shaman guy (and also because I had complex PTSD).

I had a wife, had a kid, built a house, got divorced, lost it all, and thankfully, eventually, met my current wife who pulled my ass out of the woods and into Vancouver, BC where I found somatic trauma healing work, healed myself over the course of many years, learned the work, and eventually became a somatic trauma specialist working to help others heal. 

All that time I was writing music. 

I released a bit of instrumental music into the world, some of which you can find here, and a lot of which is on my website -https://sethlyon.com/music/. But I had also written about 60 original songs over the course of that evolution from college student - to society dropout - to trauma specialist, which I had never released. 

I never released any of my songs because I'm not a natural singer (partly due to that 'ol complex PTSD I mentioned earlier), and I never felt comfortable enough to put my voice into the world till now. It's fascinating to me that so many great singers have found fuel for their voice from their pain and suffering and trauma, and for me all that stuff did was shut my voice down. It wasn't until I was able to heal that I was able to sing well enough that I felt like I could express what I wanted to express.

There's a pretty wide range of styles here, as I still approach music from the lens of a composer, so I'm less interested in staying within a certain genre and more into crafting music that expresses the meaning and energy of what I'm writing about. For me though this album tells a cohesive, if mostly impressionistic and abstract, story about travelling from where I was then, to where I am now. I hope you enjoy.

Everything

Politics, policies, paperwork, penalties
All take top priority
Over precious people, you and me

Divided in polarities
Drowning in old realities
Taking no responsibility
Unaware of what could by

I blame and you shame
And we forget that we're all the same
Immersed in this corruption game
Together -- yeah' we're in it all together

So what do you say
We put the labels away
And have a real conversation
It's easy to start
You just speak from the heart .... and...
Then listen


What do you say
We put the labels away
And have a real conversation
It's easy to start
You just speak from the heart .... and...
Then listen

So no more politics
No more policies
No more paperwork
That takes top priority
Over precious people you and me
Let's create a new reality

Bop bop bop bah ......
