The background for the inspiration of course is Homer and the tales on the Trojan war. But Kassandra does not tell a story – it’s a kind of a painting with an ancient scenery or maybe just a sketch: Kassandra in front of the burning city. And it could be a modern painting. We are in a distance of more than 3.000 years to the plot of the ancient tales – and still mankind has Kassandras and tears in front of burning cities.

Working on Kassandra i had in mind from the beginning that Cindy will take the main voc in this song. So i wrote the harmonies and the song structure with that in mind and i love how she sings the song. Kassandra also includes a few notes played with a Greek Baglamas and helps the song to get a special note. This string instrument is the small sister of a Bouzouki. 

lyrics:
on sungod days in the morning dew
the tears of kings are just a few
meaningless rain drops

we keep that fire burning
until the tide is turning
and the ships are grounded

in the golden light of the afternoon
she is dancing like the queen of doom
she blinks into the sunlight

we keep that fire burning
until the tide is turning
we watch the flames rise higher
we keep that fire burning
until the tide is turning
we watch the flames rise higher
into the sky
into the sky

Mr Jones - Prelude

Voice Actors: The Russian - Nick Denton, Mr Jones - Jeremy Long

Synopsis: Mr Jones is hired to find Nikolai Petrov

Script:
My name is Richard Jones
I was hired 6 weeks ago to find a missing person
After an extensive investigation, I finally have a lead
That brings me to this airport and a ticket to the capital of Siberia

The missing person is Nikolai Petrov the son of a Russian diplomat based in London. He’s been missing for three months. All leads were cold but then I received an anonymous call informing me he had been spotted two months previously in Siberia.

Was I on a wild goose chase?
Was Nikolai really in Siberia?
And if so, why?

Vocals: Yasmin Palmer

Honey, take on me if you dare
I’m a man-eating psycho nightmare

I’ll take everything from you, and then I’ll take more
My body moves around you, dancing on the dance floor
Now you feel inside, like nothing before
Cause you’re mine
(My body moves around you, dancing on the dance floor)
Oh yeah

Honey, look at me I’m on fire (fire)
‘cause I’m everything you desire

I’ll take everything from you, and then I’ll take more
My body moves around you, dancing on the dance floor
Now you feel inside, like nothing before
Cause you’re mine
(My body moves around you, dancing on the dance floor)
Oh yeah

Cause you’re mine, Oh yeah

La, la, la, la, la, la la

I’ll take everything from you, and then I’ll take more
my body moves around you, dancing on the dance floor
Now you feel inside, like nothing before
Cause you’re mine
(My body moves around you, dancing on the dance floor)
Oh yeah

Love Is AI
© Simon St John Chamberlain 2021
Vocals: Text to speech: https://ttsmp3.com/
Artwork: Icons8 Team

Lyrics:
Love is everything
Love is control
Love is money
Love is the air you breathe
Love sustains you
Love is your meaning
Love is your life
Love is AI
Love is AI
Love is AI
Love is AI
Love is AI

Synopsis:
This track started off as an addition to the Mr Jones series, however after a change of heart I decided to make it a track in its own right. The basic concept is the eventual take over of AI and what this means to us all. The guitars are fake of course, simple synth tones run through distortion pedals - this is my best interpretation of what playing the guitar is actually like, having never even picked one up (although I'm tempted to try the bass guitar). This track was recorded in FL Studio using mostly stock plug-ins. Hope you like it. If you have time to comment, that means more than anything. Thanks for listening.

Samples are from the free text to speech website: https://ttsmp3.com/

Listen to my latest track called Create Your Reality. I will look forward to hearing from you on this track. Lots of fun listening. Thank you TC Studio for the master, Good job!

Create Your Reality

You Are Now Exiting The Place

I, I don't need a sign
To protest what you're doing
To protest what you're doing
Is that alright? I'm not your kind
Cause' I, I don't follow blind
The faith in what you're leading
The faith in what you're leading
It has died, crucified, oh...
-------------------------------------------------------
Enter nothingness, throw it all away
Face of emptiness, need some regime change
So complacent with all the thoughts you keep
In too deep with this self indulging way
-------------------------------------------------------
Hide from all your lies
It's bullshit what you're saying
It's bullshit what you're saying
in my eyes you're not right
Mirror your disguise, breaking glass today
All along this time, you've been in my way
-------------------------------------------------------
Enter nothingness, throw it all away
Face of emptiness, need some regime change
So complacent with all the thoughts you keep
In too deep with this self indulging way

Lyrics:
Let's take our time
You know we've got the whole night?
Wanna watch me climb?
Then you gotta do it right

Let's take our time
You know we've got the whole night?
Wanna watch me climb?
Then you gotta do it right

The moment we turn out the lights
I'm gonna be on it tonight
I'll give you the thing that you like
Hold on tight for the ride of your life

The moment we turn out the lights
I'm gonna be on it tonight
I'll give you the thing that you like
Hold on tight for the ride of your life

Let's take our time
You know we've got the whole night?
Wanna watch me climb?
Then you gotta do it right

The moment we turn out the lights
You know we've got the whole night?
I'm gonna be on it tonight
Wanna watch me climb?
I'll give you the thing that you like
Then you gotta do it right

Let's take our time
The moment we turn out the lights
You know we've got the whole night?
I'm gonna be on it tonight
Wanna watch me climb?

Magic In your Eyes

Years have passed and I will never forget my one regret. A friend of mine jumped off of the Tobin Bridge in Boston because of the pressure his family put on him to send money back to them in his native country - They should all be crucified. This is my recollection. I should have been there for him that day - instead I was looking to be seen "AGAIN" - always craved attention... Full lyrics below
"
who was I to you guess I was just a ghost reached out to everyone and played the clown but it turned out you needed me the most I wish i never ever let you down - but I was just a kid and i was oh so blind blinded by the selfishness that swallowed up my time craving the attention I missed out on as a child and made you feel alone that day in your darkest hour please forgive me cause I cant forgive myself so many days go by when I wish I was someone else I was just a kid wasn't there for you I know it wasn't what I did it was what I didn't do.
Was in the lunchroom making a cup of Joe - when you walked in trying to compose yourself - I felt like there was something I should know - but i bit my tongue cause I didn't want to pry - saw it in your eyes you were alone but carried on as if I didn't care truth was I was having a bad day consumed with all the problems of my own - but I was just a kid and I was oh so blind blinded by the selfishness that swallowed up my time craving the attention I missed out on as a child and made you feel alone that day in your darkest hour please forgive me cause I cant forgive myself so many days go by when I wish I was someone else I was just a kid wasn't there for you I know it wasn't what I did it was what I didn't do.
The next morning state police had questioned me they said that you had jumped the night before and even though they placed no blame on me - my aura showed that I was ugly
but I was just a kid and I was oh so blind blinded by the selfishness that swallowed up my time craving the attention I missed out on as a child and made you feel alone that day in your darkest hour please forgive me cause I cant forgive myself so many days go by when I wish I was someone else I was just a kid wasn't there for you I know it wasn't what I did it was what I didn't do.
please forgive me cause I cant forgive myself so many days go by when I wish I was someone else I was just a kid wasn't there for you I know it wasn't what I did it was what I didn't d----

One regret (for Diego)

this is to satisfy my need for the music i was euphoric with when i was 12-14 ( and still are)and played the lp'S and cassettes up and down endless...
this is the result if you give me the midi files and some weed
all making a big smile on my face
maybe tomorrow it's all gone
but that'S the Child In Time...

i hope its understood to honor Deep Purple!
And does Humor belong in Music?

noxpox - Purple Chilld Inferno!

this song was inspired by 'shortparis - moscow speaking' and its incredible video.

Head over to the awesome @fadysporz to listen to some wonderful indie gems! 

i don't know
where to go
where to flow
where myself has been

if i was
here with me
'now!' i'd say,
'now i'm free'
but i am somewhere else and out of reach

sometimes my mind games
keep me under control
there's nothing i could do
my chemical imbalance turns into
fire

i know the fire
it keeps me under control
it's never far away
it never takes too long, you know
one, two, here it comes
fire

everything is an up and down
everything is an up and down
all my me's are running up and down
everything is an up and down
everything is an up and down
i'm trapped by this
fire

Are You Human? (Simply A Machine)

Schizophrenia
© Simon St John Chamberlain 2020

Lyrics:
Can you hear what they say?
Voices that haunt me
They all hate me today

And they won't go away
Am I just crazy?
Is it true what they say?

All the games that they play
Just to confuse me
And the things that they say

Then my thoughts slip away
I'm floating on air 
Can you meet me halfway?
Why are they lying to me?

I'm not sure where we are
I'm not sure who I am
I'm not sure any more
What's all of this for?
Have we been here before?
Why are you lying to me?

And now I feel so free
We're here together, you see
No-one to question my mind
No need for reasons to find
