"Blitz" is a collaboration between Neil Cake and Zelestial Phyre. It uses noisy guitars and heavy drums to simulate the experience of a bad mushroom trip and what is known as "ego death".

Blitz (Neil Cake with Zelestial Phyre)

Every year it seem like things are getting worse
Pretty soon we’ll all have to escape to the metaverse
With a pair of virtual reality goggles strapped on your head
You won’t even realize that all the plants and animals are actually dead

You can suit up in your avatar and always try to look your best
You can give yourself big muscles even if you have a puny chest
You can live like a cro magnon in a dark and dirty cave
You don’t have to wear deodorant
 you don’t need to shower or shave

Every year it seem like things are getting worse
Pretty soon we’ll all have to escape to the metaverse

We’ll all live below the surface and never see the light of day
And as long as we have our VR goggles everything’s going to be okay
Mark Zuckerberg’s working really hard to make sure that VR sells
Pretty soon we’ll be living like those mole people in the time machine by HG wells

Like those people in the matrix 
Floating in tanks with electrodes strapped to their heads
Going through life thinking it’s real but everything is virtual instead.

Every year it seem like things are getting worse
Pretty soon we’ll all have to escape to the metaverse
With a pair of virtual reality goggles strapped on your head
You won’t even realize that all the plants and animals are actually dead

Metaverse 3.0

Another gem hidden from deep within the Archive, no.97 of the the Zoom handheld recording device to be precise.

Words and Music by Adam Majdecki-Janicki.

I can see your face everywhere I look
I can see your face everywhere I look
I can see the memories that you took
I can see your face everywhere I look

Take this bitter cup away from me
Drinking from it ain’t my destiny
Take your promises and empty words
Walk away and close that final door

Coming down on Monday afternoon
Sleeping with the scarred and bitter moon
You ain’t been my lover very long
I came back to write that final song

Treat my memories as if they’re your own
Treat my heart as if it’s made of stone
You have brought me pain and misery
Put me down for all the world to see

Trains will put me far away from you
Far away from all the things you do
Breaking hearts of other fools like me
Trains will break your heart finally

Can’t you feel how lonely stations are
Can’t you hear the whistle from afar
Means you’re never seeing me again
Means I’m not returning to your games

I can see your face everywhere I look
I can see your face everywhere I look
I can see the memories that you took
I can see your face everywhere I look

"I Can See Your Face Everywhere I Look"

Keeping with the Valentine's Day theme of love, here's an oldie but goldie I wrote this back in 1998, can you believe it, It's another song about my dream girl that I wouldn't meet for many year afterwards. I was divorced for about 2 years and pretty much feeling abandoned and lonely. I remember wanting to write a song in the same vein as "And I Love Her" by The Beatles. A very acoustic number with an accordion playing in the background, you know, very romantic like something you might hear in a Paris cafe! This was one of the first songs I did with Charlie, it wasn't recorded too well since I had an old Tascam 8-track analog recorder and it's distorted quite a bit but I think the melody and lyrics still hold up. (Mastering didn't help this song at all, sorry!) I don't know, let me know what you think in the comments. I've always liked the first line about wrapping myself inside her smile. I produced the video a few months ago for this Valentine's Day. I enjoyed putting it together and added like 10 quick snap shots of beautiful women taking selfies at the end of the video. I hope you guys enjoy it and Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! Ciao! 😎✌🏼

“HOW I LOVE HER”

IT’S JUST SOMETHING IN THE WAY SHE WEARS A SMILE,   
THAT MAKES ME WANT TO WRAP MYSELF INSIDE IT,   
NO MATTER HOW HARD I MIGHT TRY TO HIDE IT,   
HOW I LOVE HER,             
     
SIMPLY A SUBTLE SHIFT OF HER BEAUTIFUL EYES, 
MELTS AWAY ALL THE BITTERNESS WITHIN ME,   
AND EVERY TIME SHE TOUCHES ME, SHE WINS ME,  
HOW I LOVE HER,

I ADORE HER EVERY CULTIVATED GLANCE,       
AND EACH MOVEMENT THAT SHE MAKES IS LIKE A DANCE,
THERE’S NO WORDS TO EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE HER,       
I CAN NEVER SEEM TO GET ENOUGH OF HER,       
SHE’S MY DREAM COME TRUE, MY EVERYTHING,       
AND WITH EACH AND EVERY LOOK SHE MAKES MY SENSES SING,
     
EVERY TIME SHE KISSES ME, I’M IN HEAVEN,   
WHEN SHE’S IN MY ARMS MY WORRIES DISAPPEAR,          
MY LOVE FOR HER GROWS STRONGER WITH EACH YEAR,   
HOW I LOVE HER,      
          
I ADORE HER EVERY CULTIVATED GLANCE,        
AND EACH MOVEMENT THAT SHE MAKES IS LIKE A DANCE,
THERE’S NO WORDS TO EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE HER,         
I CAN NEVER SEEM TO GET ENOUGH OF HER,       
SHE’S MY DREAM COME TRUE, MY EVERYTHING,       
AND WITH EACH AND EVERY LOOK SHE MAKES MY SENSES SING,
     
EVERY TIME SHE KISSES ME, I’M IN HEAVEN,    
WHEN SHE’S IN MY ARMS MY WORRIES DISAPPEAR,           
MY LOVE FOR HER GROWS STRONGER WITH EACH YEAR,  
HOW I LOVE HER,   
HOW I LOVE HER,   
HOW I LOVE HER.

Goodnight

Another acoustic song taken on by Mighty Mike Fox for This Sound Society project.
Can’t thank him enough for his efforts,  skills & enthusiasm for the ideas. A double busy top bloke.
This song is about a personal experience a long time ago that still to this day can hurt when mentioned.
Then 20 years after the dust as settled the opportunity arises out of the blue to cut to the chase and talk truth & transparency about the situation.
Always two sides to a story and their version strangely favours the brave but they take no responsible for their actions and the feelings of others after they shit on you from a great height after you have been always helpful & decent to them. 
You may still love these people and forgive them but you never forget.
So it’s about people who are close to you wether it’s family or friends. 
We have probably all been there and feel betrayed but because of who they are you rise above to be a better person. 
They don’t change with time just turn inside out.
They will still be out for number one and would sell their Granny for personal gain .
To be deceitful, lie and play you like a fiddle leaving you in the dark.
This Sound Society gives you the second track of 2025.
20 years……..

V1
Time as a habit of bringing things to the surface
So if you want to get into this then it better be worth  it 
My versions different and your gonna deserve it 
20 years as passed since that day  in earnest 



There’s  a time to talk this through 
Now’s the time time for me & you
To talk……..  transparency & truth x2

V2
There’s always an excuse for why it shouldn’t of happened 
You only have reasons that  you just imagined 
And just because it’s 20 years doesn’t make it old fashioned 
So take a seat and let’s watch it all Unfasten

Lead break

Finish on double chorus

A few guitar tracks...some through my pedal board...S9 and a wha-wha that I remember using...mebbe some other things too...

Kinda channeling Fripp and maybe Andy Summers just a tad.

"I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death".
Thomas Paine

A new original composition
Lyrics:

In the shadows where the truth has been hiding,
We're gathering voices, the silence is dividing.
Put your boots on, it’s a different day,
Hear the echoes of the brave who have found their way

Lies may feel warm like a winter's embrace,
But the coward's path only leads to disgrace.
Each step we take on this winding road,
It is a promise to the weary, to lighten the load.

The revolution of truth is rolling through the land,
It may take a while, but we’ll rise hand in hand.
Bravery takes courage, standing tall in the fray,
It’s a revolution whose time is to light the way.

Never too late to climb off that train,
Follow a new direction, break free from the chain.
With the fire in our hearts and the stars in our eyes,
We’ll dance through the shadows until we touch the skies.

So, lift your voice, let the silence be shattered,
Together we’ll weave a plan that really matters.
The time for revolution is ringing so clear,
Come gather  around, let’s chase away the fear.

Brand NEW track "Thought I Was Dreaming", taken from the "Ultraviolet Cosmos" upcoming full length STA album (2025). Enjoy y'all #share, #like, #follow and comment of course. :D

Youtube: https://youtu.be/5TOaRZxQbGs?si=tAH31Rz_1uPP6dEn

lyrics:
I've been dreaming for so long
and never woke up back to reality
i never thought it could take so long
to learn such a solid morality

Thought i was screaming, nightmares dreaming
and it's time not to hide away
It's time for breathing, 
forget about those golden years so fly away

And then i opened my eyes and realize
that neon lights blinded my side
and it's time to get up my feet again
and regain what's mine and never let it again.

Lyrics

The strangest people be,
Who understands another really?
Love
The ghosts
The quests
The crimes
Admit it when your out of line

But their lines are oh so grey to me
I suppose the black and white does move to resave
The ivories are free
And their niche gets tinkling making life less mean
More meaning
Do be silence!
Woo me with silence

Killing with Isis lies?
An ideal aint worth even one life!
Groomed,
Your institutionalised
There’s no zeal
Jah Jihad strife.

Just get out!

The strangest strange
Strays' stream
Rivers of rose
Flowered water
Wise beam'





Notes
In this song I am thinking about the extreme elements of humanity and how they become that. It's usually the most vulnerable and the weakest of weak humans being manipulated to be that which is sad.
When a person is weak and vulnerable it seems easy to feed their hunger for meaning with lies about the world and their reality
