Dude you are a rock star ... this is so cool. So glad you’re back at it!

Great one, and you know i love that messed up synth. 

I agree with JD about the synth- it gives the song an entirely playful underwater psychedelic vibe. Super cool track

YES! SO GOOD! Man, that synth sounds so.... HUMAN.. to me. I really does sound like someone sang that part and then you put processors on the vocals. Love it

Love the contrast of the smooth melodious synth and your choppy spoken lyrics.  Cool percussion too.

Glad you're still around. Good to be back. Sounds killer.

Love your stream of consciousness lyrics and your authoritative delivery.

so GREAT to hear you again man!!! this is so creative and original.  love the rhythms here.  love the choice in the melody underneath.  amazing vibe to this.  totally engrossed by this one.

Nice to hear your stuff, My Last Professor. :)  Really interesting instrument choices; a bit more chill than most of what I've heard from you previously.  I like it!

Second chances, take flight
second chances, say goodnight

Second chances, take flight
second chances, say goodnight


Second chances, take flight
second chances, say goodnight
That's a long kiss Geena
and I'm not Sam
Around these parts just trying to be the Man
like He
wifey so Ra like She
the little ones 
they shine like me
or maybe 
they reflect off me
I reflect off them
it's a celebration
I got a second chance
life's continuation
new direction
more determination
another chance
and I can't waste it
damn, I used to get so wasted
I stared it down and faced it
It's a new day
and now I can taste it
It's a new life Nina
and I can't fake it
it's all I got
look who gon' take it?


Second chances, take flight
second chances, say goodnight

Second chances, take flight
second chances, say goodnight

Second chances, take flight
second chances, say goodnight
That's a long kiss Geena
and I'm not Sam
Around these parts just trying to be the man
like he
wifey so Ra like she
the little ones 
they shine like me
wifey so Ra like she
the little ones 
they shine like me

Second chances, take flight
second chances, say goodnight
Second chances, take flight
second chances, say goodnight

Second chances, take flight
second chances, say goodnight
That's a long kiss Geena
and I'm not Sam
Around these parts just trying to be the man
like he

Second chances, take flight

Second Chances

Planets and Gardens
Words and Music by Mark Magram (2023)

He played the lotto, gave himself his own lobotomy with chopsticks and a plastic knife.
He stayed inside and kept a blindfold on his eyes until he heard howling wolves at night

(ch1)
If he wants a new planet
He simply wills it into being with his mind
If you don't understand this, that is fine, I don't mind

He lives in limbo, plays the banjo when the wind blows and he never let's the temperature rise
He goes from point a to point b, by way of point C his point can be seen clearly in his eyes

(ch2)
If he wants a new garden
He simply spreads a row of seeds with his mind
If you don't understand this, that is fine, I don't mind

(ch1)

Livin' On I Love You

EARLY IN THE MORNING
WHEN THE SUN’S YET TO RISE THE STARS IN THE DARKNESS TELL FORTUNE’S TO THE EYES
AS THE WORLD COMES TO
I’M ONLY THINKING OF YOU
YOUR HAIR ACROSS THE PILLOW THE SHEETS UPON YOUR SKIN
I’M MOVING THROUGH OUR ROOM JUST AS SOFTLY AS I CAN
TO GET CLOSE TO YOU
AND THE SMELL OF YOUR
ROSE PERFUME
YOUR ROSE PERFUME
I CAN’T FORGET
IT SUMMONS THE SENSES
AND STEALS ALL REGRETS WHEN THE WORLD
IS BREAKING IN TWO
I’M ONLY THINKING OF YOU
I PICTURE IN MY MIND ANOTHER PLACE
A BETTER TIME
WHEN LOVE WAS ALL WE KNEW AND THE SMELL OF YOUR ROSE PERFUME

ROSE PERFUME

Multiply my inside voices
Never was enough for me
Terrified by the smell of horses
We were not prepared to see
Whether waiting by the altar
Or waiting for the phone to ring,
We won’t get married here today
But I know where it’s going to be.
I know where it’s going to be.

Look at me when I serve your dinner
This is who I’ve always been
All of our contested winners
Were on radio and then TV
We don’t read what the critics say
When we’re naked on the stage and screen
I don’t know how the story ends
But I know where it’s going to be

We won’t change our minds
Without some kind of miracle or grace
I know you’re afraid, if you’re listening
Luck is what you make

Make the most of what we’re given
One to you and four to me
Blessing both the meek and wicked
When no one else will keep the peace
I won’t hang out for ever, for any kind of justice league
This ain’t no time for peace on earth
But I know where it’s gonna be

Laughing At Your Pain
Music and Words by Mark Magram (2023)

when you gave away the last of what you had and nothing else remains
And it feels like you've been dealt a losing hand in an arbitrary game
The world will keep on spinning round
Till only memories remain and you're laughing at your pain
Ooh

When you put your trust in those who did you wrong
And you realize youve been blind
And the world you built around you has moved on
And you were left behind
The world will keep on spinning round
And you can't avoid the change
You'll be swept out of the rain
Youll see the sun again

Ahh

The world will keep on spinning round
It will never stay the same
And thats the secret of the game
You'll be laughing at your pain in the end

Laughing At Your Pain

I've been over the limit
I've been under the gun
Can I get just a minute
To se what's come undone

You've been watching the weather
You've been keeping the flame
Being down for whatever
Keeps my head in the game

So when the these heavy days come down
And I'm feeling six feet underground
You lift me up, you dig me out
Oh when these heavy days come down

We've been put through the ringer
We've had mountains to move
Still got rings on these fingers
Ain't got nothing to prove

I just needed a moment
To say what's on my heart
Simple fact of the matter
I'm still here cuz you are who you are

So when the these heavy days come down
And I'm feeling six feet underground
You lift me up, you dig me out
Oh when these heavy days come down

Heavy Days demo

Things change 
We change
Off top
Cant get off the brain
Insane
Can’t get out the rain
It pours
Of course
Salt in the wound 
Can’t get out the room
Drop the mic 
it goes with the boom
Not done yet
Cleaning up
About to breakout the broom
Life’s so short
Like a day, I’m in the afternoon
And can’t remember morning
Gazing out
I see the evening storm forming
What’s your life like
What do you live for
New house, you picking out some flooring?
New job, getting paid but shit is boring?
New car, with the engine roaring?
You can buy it all but still you’re yearning?
Now that’s concerning. It’s just a warning

What’s your life like
What you live for
What you die for
What you ride for

Who you live for 
Who you die for
Who you ride for
Who’s it all for

You, You
You, You
You, You
You, You


Flutter by, what’s that the SOUND OF
WINGS take me away like Calgon
Water for for the soul
Some light for the mind
You can have some of mine
Just come out of the cold
Not everyone knows what woke is
Some of them think they’re the wokest
I know what broke is
Not anymore
can I say I’m the brokest
That’s not to brag at all
But I know what growth is
So I know what hope is
It’s not magic shit
No hocus pocus 
It’s more like focus
No selfie stick
No selfish shit
Can’t just put it up on the shelf and sit
Is anyone listening 
Is it just anger
In the echo chamber
Am I’m the only voice 
City on the hill in the distance glistening 
you can hear danger
Such a dreadful noise


What’s your life like
What you live for
What you die for
What you ride for

Who you live for 
Who you die for
Who you ride for
Who’s it all for

You, You
You, You
You, You
You, You
