Speaking In Dreams

Hold Fast, My Soul

"He owed his foresight of the horror that was to come to the visits of the black dog."
- Winston Churchill

Walking The Black Dog

A dark, downtempo exploration of loneliness and longing 🖤

She found herself in a long, low hall
Which was lit up by a row of lamps hanging from the roof.
There were doors all round the hall, but they were all locked.
Alice went all the way down, trying every door.
Then, she walked sadly down the middle,
Wondering how she was ever going to get out again.

- Lewis Carrol

I got my first hate mail the other day
I guess that must mean I'm doing okay.
I'm in the forge but I'm no forgery
Being made like a blade
Come and play with me.
People like to call themselves by all kinds of pretty names
But they're just labels to help them play the game.
It's time to say goodbye. I gotta go
And I won't see you again
I think you know.
I'll keep on walking the way I like to walk
And I'll keep on talking the way I like to talk
And If I meet somebody who sees the light in me
This time I'll double check the truth in what I see.

There's only me
No society
I am free
No apologies

Get on your knees
My enemies

There's only me
In my entirety
And I can see
My divinity

There's only me
Only me
No enemy
For my sanity

I met you in the dark
You were standing in the park
You smiled at me and took my hand
And I knew you'd understand

Be my man

Oh, oh, oh....

I want to kiss your lips
Feel your dancing fingertips
Craving your electric touch
You're the one I want so much

Be my man

Oh, oh, oh...

Be my man

Lyrics:
Show me what it's like to live
Like breathing
Show me what it means to give
Receiving this feeling

Take me on a little trip
Perceiving, believing
Let me take a little sip
Before leaving

My defences fall apart
My heart
You're thieving

Kiss me now
This is the start
Conceiving
Believing
Like breathing

Like Breathing

Keeping Time
Draw the line
Around You

Watch the space
See your face
Turn blue

Bend the knee
I can see
Right through

In this tomb
Like a womb
I grew

Bigger
Bolder
Stronger
Colder

Oh just tell me why
Tell me why I'm so caught up in you

I'm gonna cry
Tell me why I'm so caught up in you

And I'm gonna die
Tell me why I'm so caught up in you

Just tell me why
Tell me why I'm so caught up in you

Oh just tell me why
Tell me why I'm so caught up in you

I'm gonna try
Tell me why I'm so caught up in you

Just say goodbye
Tell me why I'm so caught up in you

Just tell me why
Tell me why I'm so caught up in you

So Caught Up In You

You lured me in
Through a veil, so thin
A rogue weekend to play pretend
Oh, end
This tragic day
But before I lead myself astray
There's one more thing I need to say

Just fade away
Walk away
My happiness has gone astray

Your love was cheap
You're such a creep
This black heart
Is yours to keep

Your lies were thick
The end came quick
And all that mattered
Was burned and scattered
Burned and scattered


Burned And Scattered

You took enough
And you robbed my heart
You think you're tough
But you're not so smart

You filled my mind

And I was blind
But now I'm wise

I hope everything falls apart
For you
I hope everything falls apart
For you
I hope everything falls apart


I Hope Everything Falls Apart

Gotta keep it inside
Just wanna say you're all mine
Gotta keep it inside
Just wanna say you're all mine

You're gonna say it's alright
You're gonna say it's alright
You're gonna say it's alright
Shut up and kiss me goodnight

You're gonna say it's alright
You're gonna say it's alright
You're gonna say it's alright
Shut up and kiss me goodnight

And I am ecstatic
Gotta keep it inside
And I know it's tragic
Just wanna say you're all mine

And I am ecstatic
Gotta keep it inside
Gotta keep it inside
Just wanna say you're all mine

Gotta keep it inside

Just wanna say you're all mine

You're gonna say it's alright
Gotta keep it inside
You're gonna say it's alright
You're gonna say it's alright
Just wanna say you're all mine
Shut up and kiss me goodnight

You're gonna say it's alright
Gotta keep it inside
You're gonna say it's alright
You're gonna say it's alright
Just wanna say you're all mine
Shut up and kiss me goodnight

You're gonna say it's alright
Gotta keep it inside
You're gonna say it's alright
You're gonna say it's alright
Just wanna say you're all mine
Shut up and kiss me goodnight

Wistful Skies

As I sit and watch you
(As I watch you baby)
I just can’t believe my eyes
(Can’t believe my eyes)
Your softest whisper
(Whisper to me baby)
Rings like thunder in the spans of these wistful skies
(These wistful skies)

These fleeting moments
(Just a moment baby)
Hover then pass by like midge flies
(They pass me by)
In the swampy vestiges of latent memory
(I remember baby)
Along the beaten path beneath these cloistered, wistful skies
(Wistful skies)

I understood it well enough, so I thought
(I though so baby)
But perhaps not enough to give rise
(I couldn’t give rise)
For when you spoke of moving on
(Moving on now baby)
I sought peace beneath wistful skies
(These wistful skies)

The line of progress is dipping low
(Dipping low now baby)
What was once known in spades one can’t now surmise
(No, they can’t surmise)
The lush forests are shrivelling and will someday die
(They will die now baby)
I best be finding refuge before the deluge of these wistful skies
(These wistful skies)

Crippled thought is a lame companion
(No companion of mine)
Drifting from shore and ready to capsize
(They will capsize baby)
Nagging relentlessly with its fragments of pictures
(All the pictures baby)
In the fogged recollections of my wistful skies
(The wistful skies)

There’s a commandment behind a stone
(See the commandment)
That everyone challenges yet still abides
(They abide now baby)
The tree of life provides endless bounty
(Endless bounty)
To the sheep of existence grazing under wistful skies
(Under wistful skies)

Lyrics:
There's a storm in my head
There's a chill in my bed
There's a storm in my head
There's a chill in my bed

I love it how you speak your mind
Will you speak it to me?
I look inside and I find
Something I wanna see
With you I can unwind
'Coz it's meant to be
So perfectly designed
It's destiny

Speak it to me
Speak it to me
Speak it to me
Speak it to me

There's a storm in my head
There's a chill in my bed
There's a storm in my head
There's a chill in my bed

I love it how you speak your mind
Will you speak it to me?
I look inside and I find
Something I wanna see
With you I can unwind
'Coz it's meant to be
So perfectly designed
It's destiny

Speak it to me
Speak it to me
Speak it to me
Speak it to me

Speak Your Mind

Thanks Carl

Lyrics

Lasered to sense,
Even Sir Rich gets moved
When perusing the world of poetic blues
Where articulated real meets perfection
'Found questionable thought to his atomic interjection

Softly, softly says Professor Neil
Let's take their hands when want meets zeal
Dawkins holds that military mind
New domination for human kind

Only truth,
Call out the lies.
There's enough for our youth in sciences prize
It's poetry this reality
Generalized, it's just wonderfully free

This Plato brain does wander away
I try and imagine all sides of all way
Then we connect with everyone
Changing minds doesn't matter
The door is open

Notes
Richard Dawkins is one of the greatest thinkers of our time and possibly the very best at articulating our reality as he honestly sees it. He fights ignorance with such pure truth I'd be scared to debate him on the spirit world .. But I would love to and I think there's a very real conversation to be had asking him how he fills the gaps in science about consciousness and his dismissal of spiritually and an afterlife given those limited explanations of our conscious world... Dawkins is an evolutionary biologist and a wonderful author.


This song was inspired largely by Dawkins and his want, now to project what he sees as the purest of poetry... The truth about our existence. He is well worth a permanent rabbit hole along with his team mate Professor Neil Di Grasse Tyson an Astrophysicist.

So I guess this song is giving them a hand.


Reality In Poetry

Reality in Poetry

To celebrate the second birthday of this song, Carl from @thebeautifuldark kindly wrote some lyrics, sang them with soul, and played some fabulous guitar for the occasion. Exo now stands as a new creation, and it's something I am very glad to share with you 🤍

Listen to the original here

Lyrics
Time to test time
Flow in rhyme
Exo makes jail for mind matter mine
Intuitive thought
Instinctual
No messy thoughts
Devine deliverance
Placebo proof
Chooses truths
No lies emerge when this mode is heard
Thoughts are herd, interferance
Ever present of presence
At one with the mammoth
Still alive as mutated carrot
See, I am everything
So flow chooses to bring
Standing waves for sin
Handing haze the bin
The rubbish of man
No fake thinking
It's Spirit
It's Soul
It's need for good role
It's time that we saw new pathway,
New God
It's me
It's you
It's hill of trees
Truth
We see
We do
It's for new youth
It's retention
Ascension towards my younger proof
It's real want to mute the spoof
Ryhme to test ryhme
Flow divine
We are the whole Earth
It's finally lassooed from both sides
Simultaneous prize
Just by beings alive

Cometh conduit
Lets dive
Earth's core connection is live
Thrive holding hive
Now is live to survive
Drive new Alive

Soothe



Thanks to Carl @TheBeautifulDark for inviting me to work with him in creating this version of an already beautiful song 🙏✨💖

Find your frozen flower. This flower appreciates it's time left way more then most human beings do. It makes itself as beautiful as it can to hold onto its niche and attract other niches of life to help it. It's doing everything in its power to weather the cold and for us it can represent what humanity needs to do. We are a frozen flower except we have the ability to thaw ourselves and expand our own existence yet we choose to mostly stay frozen. Maybe we should thaw ourselves out before the planet melts us altogether. We thaw ourselves living in the moment one human at a time

Lyrics

(We genuinely hope they make your moment better. The fact that this has your senses now is improving ours so 🔆 thanks a centillion 🔆)

Now they say
This is me!
To the moment I pray
It's my only deity

To the moment

But what of tomorrow?
What of yesterday's marrow?
I figure my past has future answers to borrow!

To the moment
To the moment

But now they are answers
Brought to present in solution
Taught to oneself,
Fear is mind pollution
Chemicals in brain figured, not dithered
It ejects us from our now
In fear our energy is withered

The moment
The moment
The moment
The moment
For the moment
The moment
Just the moment

Lament the moment
It's your sanity enrolment
Fear is relegated
As it's never an opponent
Lament the moment
Now, in today

Fear mind profanity of old self
We've sent presence to present... hold it
In now, fud can't even get a shelf

We're in a moment
Be the moment

Now I say
I am me
To the moment I pray
One singularity

One moment
Now
Here
How
Water clear
Light
Sound
Now

It's near
Come over here
Comb over fear
Love is presence
Wow

The Moment

Carl from @TheBeautifulDark kindly offered his incredible voice and lyrical genius to add to the previously released instrumental version of this song.

Thank you Carl ✨🙏🤍

Emergence. Our humanity. Humans being humane... It's actually quite a selfish term when you reflect on what we mean for evolution up to this point. The first known beings that can reason their existence and we have become that destroyer of natural selection from before we existed.

This is very dangerous as we are not only affecting the climate but it looks like the balanced web of life that has built up slowly through billions of years. Gaia theory suggest that harmony and connection with everything is the way forward. We do this through an endeavour to understand this place properly and appreciation for everything. I believe in connecting with everything neuroplasticity can take over and rewire our brains to the system and a path on the greater good for all life. We need this to emerge collectively for it to flourish and become that positive beacon the present and future needs... The signs are there and we are anaologiues for the larger system. Just like a fake human forest is comparable but has no where near the strenght of one that took millions of years and started as an amoeba... Don't insult the idea of the greater good being some confusing God wrapped thing you don't have to worry about being an atheist or agnostic. It's the greater good for a snail or you or a blade of grass and has nothing to do with anything we don't understand ...

Lyrics
Emergence, one consciousness leant
Merged, no imitation meant
Emergence, one consciousness leant
Intention sent
🤍
What do we see?
How do we do?
Resurgence like Sea
Deliver that proof
Pure positivity
Cation of conscionable use
What do we see?
How do we do?
🤍
Self control be mindset of the soul
The Spirits come clean
Good neurodiagram unfolds
Self control be mindset of the soul
The Spirits come clean
Good neurodiagram unfolds
🤍
Emergence, one consciousness leant
Merged, no imitation meant, Intention sent
Be Real, Be Love, Be Now
Be Water, Be life, See how
🤍
Emergence, Cautioned ionization of sense
Emerged, no limitation of sense. Presence
Be Water, Be Life, See how
Be Real, Be Love, Be Now
🤍
Resurgence - Neurodivergent
Stringed theory notions - Soulful lotions
Moisturize your mind - Make real human kind
This we find when now and forever holds one timeline
🤍
Oh self control be mindset of the soul
Good Spirits come clean
Good neurodiagram unfolds
Yeah!
🤍
What do we see?
How do we do?
Be free

Lyrics:
You thought you could do
What you did to me
But now we're through
And I can see

You're so vain
You can eat my pain
Drink the rain
Then do it again

Drink my tears
Eat my fears
Chew on this
Bitter kiss

Scrub the stain
I won't refrain
From serving you pain
'Coz you're to blame

Eat my pain babe
It tastes so sweet
Fill your plate honey
It's such a treat
🖤
