Dancing with me

Update: Changed name from NIN to Nailed. Even thought it's a genuine tribute I don't want to be seen as highjacking their brand so... Also added a loop of 9 nail strikes per bar throughout and gave it sox on the vox... oh and bass guitar in there somewhere too

This is a tribute to Nine Inch Nails the band. Very luckily I saw them live on the Peel it Back tour in Dublin and they solidified their status as the most influential 'active' band for me in my world. An amazing show and well worth checking out if you can. The notes below the lyrics are elements I want to build into the song. Obviously not trying to rip them off but I guess I'm trying to paint a musical picture with some of their brushes and canvas. So far I'm happy the base tune appears to be original and also relevant to their material. Maybe it has enough to be obviously NIN influenced too. I'd welcome opinions on that if you have time 🖤

Lyrics

NIN my Sin
Nail all Nine Inches in
Give me Meadville grin
Peel it back
We win

Thanks lads
You're still the bar
Trent at 60
Many more years fill stages far
A forever reference in my head
From heavy to light
Lyrical love brain bed
Some friends don't dig your music but love your words
Proper heresy
Transcendence of blur

NIN my Sin
Nail all Nine Inches in

Keep it together
We want more Hurt
Yeah Cash took it,
But it's always your worth
This is something I can have
I will find that stage
I got Reznor rasp
You gave me growl and finesse
Closer to God within my chest

NIN my Sin
Nail all those Nine Inches in

Ruiner of my negative side
Head was a hole
Ego tamed from pride
(add a line here - Maybe: "Pensilvanian tone")
A Warm Place
You fill these moments
Like Buckley Grace
Mimed music moulded
Into the Void for all our sakes
Lyrical real washes away the fakes

NIN my Sin
Nail all those Nine Inches in

I bite the hand that feeds us lies
I almost Gave Up
But, still Wish for prize
It's you man
You kept me going
You're amazing music
Keeps BD flowing
Never say never
Churned love from rage
Maybe someday we'll share a stage

NIN my Sin
Nail all Nine Inches in

We spiral down with you to the darkest depths
We saw you in hell and together, wept
Old self destruction,
Marching swine power
Reptilian darkness
Musical genes
One timeless over hour

Sin to bin
Right where it belongs
NIN my Sin
Nine Inch Nails
Let's get it on"

Further orchestration:

- Consider dropping drums for the last two lines of each verse to emphasis the lines and make them the double emphasis you learned from Papa. RE read what he said about that and link and pass on the lesson if relevant

-consider setting up a synth to create a spiral effect with panning and pitch shifting to honour the Downward Spiral

-Use breaking glass effect to honour The Fragile. Maybe make this a positive flip by using a reversed breaking of glass effect making something that's impossible at least possible in sound. That can be a powerful metaphor

- Add a Machine sound of some kind to honour Pretty hate Machine. Tie this machine sound to the reverse effected glass breaking effect and tie that positivity to the hope we keep machines & technology under a better control collectively

Cast of characters:

Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition, arrangement, and Fender Jaguar foundational rhythm guitar

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ, envelope synth, vocals along with Josh

K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –four string fretless bass

Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez– Fender Stratocaster electric guitar

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–Fender Nashville Telecaster electric guitar, sitar, mix, master, and production

This song began its life in Poland, where our resident surf rock specialist, Artur, composed it on his giutar. He is a brilliant composer and expert player, so we're always glad to receive music from him.

Artur gave it to JJ to start the project, so JJ was first to the trough here, adding his breathy, moving organ and envelope synth throughout. Ken came along shorly after to give the song its heartbeat, adding his triumphant drums. As soon as he had a beat to play to, Josh added his four string fretless bass to the mix, completing the rhythm section.

Now it was the other guitarists turn to take a whack at it. Tez was first up, adding the magical the first and third solos, in the verse sections. He also lit up the intro and outro sections with some dynamic guitar solos, as well. Stephen went last, filling in the second and fourth solo sections in the choruses, as well as a textural guitar that you hear through most of the song. He also added the exotic sitar you hear in about the middle.

Once we had it in the bag, we asked Stephen to produce it for us, which he did in his always trained, professional manner.

This is the eighth song we've done with Artur over the past about year and a half. We adore his music and him as a person, too. If you dig this song, you should hop over to his page and have a listen in case you're not already familiar. He loves surf music, and wanted to note the passing of surf rock legend, Brian Wilson this week. Wilson was more than just Pet Sounds, although that album is top class. He was a surf rock pioneer, who influenced a whole genre of music; a genre that's near and dear to Artur's heart.

We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by Surfers Like Us:
We all live between Sun and Moon
Love and Peace
That's all what we do

Between Sun and Moon (Eclectic Collective)

I’m too old for this shit …

You made your bed 
now you gotta lie in it
Oblivious to the mess you left around it
Blood stained sheets betray the pictures 
you painted to pull me in 
but Underneath your pretty colours
I can see the rot creeping 

This twisted love 
is as fake as you are
How much is enough 
When you’re taking , playing so hard 
oh Twisted love 
now I see your true face 
my twisted love is forever ..
forever your Disgrace 

Right on the edge 
one wrong step you fall in
this Oblivion of your own making 
Everybody leaves  u and you never wonder why
Tears and titties aren’t gonna fix 
everything all the time 

This twisted love 
is as fake as you are
How much is enough 
When you’re taking , playing so hard 
oh Twisted love 
now I see your true face 
my twisted love is forever ….
forever your Disgrace 

i remember  the day 
you said i took your breath away 
i was holding my breath
trying not to feel the same 
catching hold of my hand 
as i looked away 
you wouldnt understand 
what my eyes were sayin
(My twisted , my twisted love)

now all i can think about 
is how to takeyour breath away 
do you think you deserve 
to breath the same as me?…

Twisted Love…

There might be another new track here in around one week...

GAZEBO DAYDREAMS (ABOUT BATHYSPHERES)

This tune is part of a concept album of mine that never was, but I’m still hoping to complete it in the future (one should never ever give up!). Essentially it is a demo of the main melody for a piece that will always be close to my heart.  

 

Heart of Bieszczady (Demo)

Iced_Coffee

“I Wish (I Was Like You)” is an emotional song about longing, self-denial, and the fear of hurting those we care about — wrapped in a dark, poetic vampire metaphor.

I love exploring different genres and diving into new musical worlds — and right now, it's musical theatre that's calling me.

This song is part of a musical project in collaboration with Sarah Paradise Brown, centered around themes of inner conflict, unfulfilled love, and the tension between light and darkness.

A new song with Sarah is already in the works — and there may be more to come as we continue to unfold this mysterious chapter.

Lyrics / Music / Vocals: 
Axel Menningen



"I wish (I was like you)"

You wake up with the sun in your eyes.
You breathe like nothing hurts.
You laugh like life is simple.
I watch you from the dark.

I try to move like you.
To speak like you.
But my steps are too heavy.
And something inside me always pulls me back.

I wish I was like you.
I wish I didn't want what I want.
I wish I could be close
without the fear,
without the hunger.
But I can't.

You hold my hand like it's safe.
You look at me like I'm still human.
And for a moment,
I almost believe it.

But the night speaks to me.
It whispers what I am.
And the blood calls louder
than your voice ever could.

I wish I was like you.
I wish I didn't want what I want.
I wish I could be close
without the fear,
without the hunger.
But I can't.

I don't want to hurt you.
I don't want to lose myself.
But if I choose you,
I lose what keeps me alive.

I wish I was like you.
I wish I could just love.
But I'm built for hunger,
not for peace.
Not for love.
Not like you.

I Wish (I Was like you)

HANA means "flower" in Japanese.

This song, titled HANA, is a powerful expression that mirrors the heart of a flower enveloped in flowing water with the heart of one's own lost mind.

This song expresses the confusion of a positive desire to bring back the sparkle in one's path in life, and the disappointment that this is not easily achievable.

HANA （feat.Koharu Rikka）

Ilianor illios- quenya song  and english midlle age melody

Thank you for finding me ♪

My goal is to create grand original songs with an atmosphere similar to rock or metal, layered with piano and strings.
The main themes of the songs are emotional themes such as love and dreams, as well as natural themes such as the universe, the world, the sky, and the sea.

I recorded the guitar, bass, piano and drums myself, although I'm not very good at them. The vocals (Koharu Rikka) are expressed using Synthesizer V.
Some elements like certain string parts, ambient sounds, and subtle adjustments were programmed using MIDI — although some of the string sounds were also played and recorded using an electric piano.

In particular, I love and cherish the structure of the songs, including the piano playing, the powerful and beautiful melodies, and the worldview created by the strings.

I hope my original songs reach your heart.
Thank you for listening.
