I can only describe this as squelchy electronic fun!

A Good Half Cup Of Bleak

Originally released in 2019. Taken from the album Sonic Psalms.

Cast of Characters:
xian3-- @xian3 – vocals, lyrics, and beat programming
Holger Engel—bass
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- guitar, mix, and production
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)-- @josh-clary-1 – lead guitar, organ, and synth
 
This song started when Xian and Holger came up with the rhythm section. Xian reached out to Josh about adding some guitar and keys. Josh happily accepted and added some electric guitar, organ, and synth. Once he was done, he sent it back to Xian, who added his excellent vocals. Tez also added some subtle, yet thrilling psychedelic guitar to it, too, before producing and mixing it for us. 
 During a little odyssey Xian recently undertook, he came across this snippet of text, from which the lyrics were drawn, in the Museum of Literature in Dublin. It's from "Ulysses" (1923) by James Joyce (1882-1941) and he liked it immediately. The passage can be found in the episode "Cyclops", in which the novel's hero, Bloom, opposes division and prejudice.
 This is the first time Xian has collaborated with Josh and Tez, but we hope it won't be the last. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.
Lyrics:
Alf And Bloom
(But it’s no use) …
(- What? says Alf) …     
But it’s no use says he
Force, hatred, history
All that
That’s not life 
For men and women,
(- What? says Alf) …
Insult and hatred
And everybody knows that
It’s the very opposite of that
That is really life.
- What? says Alf
- Love, says Bloom
(- What? says Alf)
(- Love, says Bloom)
(- Love)

Alf and Bloom (with Xian3, Entheogenic Psychonaut and Holger Engel)

I always felt alone
Had no one to lean on
There was heavy clouds over me..
I was let down as a child
And lost all trust in people
Had to find my own way to survive..
I was so afraid of being let down again
Of those who said they loved me
And said they were my friend..

So I built a wall
I built a solid wall
My own place where I could feel safe..
No one got through there
No one could sense my fear
No one could hurt me
I could hide behind my wall..

Then you came
And everything changed
You broke through my wall
Made sure I didn't fall..
I felt I could trust you
when you said you loved me
I felt safe when you said you were my friend..
You wiped all my tears..
I could share all my secrets
You held me close
And chased away all my fears..

I had built a wall
I had built a solid wall
My own place
where I could feel safe..
But you got through there
You could sense my fear
But you didn't hurt me
I didn't have to hide anymore...

Behind My Wall W/ Janne Hennie
