Beyond The Great Wave

When It All Falls Down

This is a weird one!

Part of a new album I've been uploading, featuring compositions written over the last several months of 2021. If anyone can pinpoint what all of these compositions have in common, musically-speaking, put it in the comments - there was a concept tying everything together but I'm not going to reveal what it was, haha.

Cover art created using NeuralBlender.

This album is going to be called "Prohibited Topics," a tribute to the textbook authors and teachers whose work is being disrupted by right wing efforts to stifle education about racial disparity and structural racism in the US. These compositions weren't written with this subject matter in mind, full-disclosure, but the album has now been named in response to this issue and will be dedicated to educators, and to truth, which will win in the end despite efforts to silence it.

Eight days after I listened to this song, my mother came and asked me to play it again. Two days after that, she said to me that she had heard a wonderful song a long time ago. It was clear to me that the time had come when she would see everything only through fog. It was this song: https://youtu.be/izsjRpcgfmk. The Empire of Angels had impressed her so much that she had decided for herself to go there. Then, a year and six months later, she had arrived. She must be happy there. 

I don't quite reach the quality of a master, but one evening she knocked quietly on my door and asked what I was going to do. Rattling keys she would hear. I told her that I was trying to create my own interpretation of that very song. She sat down next to it, listened........and said, "Thank you!"

Those were the last words I heard from her. Before she flowed over into the realm of the angels. This, my interpretation, lies since then fallow on a data medium. Now again. Here on this, a server somewhere in the world. Slightly edited I now release this song to the realm of the angels, that she may hear it...

To my dear Mom.

Empire Of Angels

I created the first part while watching the Winter Olympics. I was inspired by the grit of the athletes. I wrote the rest during Hope Week, a week dedicated to mental health and suicide prevention.

(Lyrics)
(Verse 1)
It all starts with a vision, then it becomes a mission, to be the best that you can be.
Ideas, inspiration. The action’s motivation. To be the best you can succeed.

(Chorus)
Keep training, keep praying, keep going, keep knowing,
Keep striving, surviving, keep going, keep growing.

(Verse 2)
No problem is worth dying for, dying for.
Getting through them is worth trying for, trying for.
So many things to look forward to, forward to.
Many activities that you can do, you can do.

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
The world has so much competition, many obstacles in the way.
Got to find a way to get through them or let the situation stay.
Tough times never last, but tough people do.
So many I’d like to thank, and God, and you.

(Chorus) (X2)

Evie's Riverside Piper (Version Two: Spoken Text)

When we first started writing songs together we thought we’d keep it simple but found the allure of a full band sound too tempting to ignore. This song, about the destructive patterns we get locked into, is us fulfilling that original intention - just acoustic guitar, violin and vocals. The riff that underpins the song could have gone another way….that’ll be the next release.
