Greetings and good afternoon to my SC friends. This is the 10th and final song intended for my upcoming album ‘What Color Is Your Paradox’. It is also my 7th mind-blowing collaboration with our dear friend Carlos Vivanco (https://soundcloud.com/carlosvivanco-1, https://carlosvivanco1.bandcamp.com). 

This piece was highly entertaining and challenging to work on. We started with clearly defined regions (mine being the more techno sounding stuff… Carlos building the traditional instrument sections). I then mangled the whole thing, and tried to blur the lines more as the song progresses, until both worlds felt fully merged by the end. At least, that was the goal. I’ll let you decide if the structure succeeds in that regard. :)

The title is also quite significant to me at this point in my life; based on the idea of ‘masking’, and our growing inability to do so. 

If you aren’t familiar with the term ‘masking’, one Mental Health Care website I found defines it this way: “Masking often involves suppressing or hiding true emotions, which can lead to a buildup of unresolved feelings and contribute to increased stress, anxiety, and emotional turmoil in the long-term. In the context of mental health and neurodivergence, masking refers to the actions or coping strategies that individuals use to conceal their genuine thoughts, emotions, or challenges.”

It didn’t really occur to me at first that I was masking when I was younger. I guess that idea doesn’t resonate when you’re deeply lost in the illusion; at least, until something makes it obvious. But in hindsight, I’ve worn many masks over the course of my life (Art Director, Technician, Pre-Press Specialist and Graphic Artist would be some of my professional masks. And I would even go so far as to include Husband, Father and Son, since I was on auto-pilot during the earliest stages of those as well). 

As my life progressed, I felt more and more insincere in those roles. I felt something was wrong. I just couldn’t put my finger on it. Then COVID (something that actually required us to wear real masks. What irony!) came along, and miraculously changed that for all of us. We gained the necessary space we needed, to finally see the illusion more clearly. Now, that illusion grows more fragile and transparent by the day. So while I’m still in the early stages of trying to figure out the new paradigm… I suspect the really critical takeaway at this point is just recognizing when we’re being our genuine selves, and when we’re lost in a role; especially if that role is debilitating to our personal growth and well being.

Another thing I’m thinking a lot on these days…. Society is dependent on me playing those roles. And society doesn’t really care whether I’m happy or not (as long as I keep paying my bills, and buying their products, and believing their lies). So maybe, just maybe, society doesn’t have my best interests at heart (as I had originally hoped). Maybe… just maybe… we’re going to need to redefine who we are personally, as we stop playing along with this globally unconscious and ultimately destructive agenda.

Thick and chunky topic, I know. But that’s the way the world feels to me these days… like we needed a brisk slap across the face to wake us all up. COVID was that slap (and probably just the first of many still to come). It’s time to prioritize our own self interests; because if we don’t, they certainly won’t. So rip off those masks, and let your freak flag fly. It’s our life, and we’ll be the ones sitting on our deathbed, asking ourselves if we lived life true to ourselves…. or if we just fulfilled the role demanded by this illusion.

We hope you enjoy “Cracks In The Surface”; and it inspires you to think about what aspects of your reality are cracking. Keep in mind… if you still have a pulse, there is always time to change things up. :)

Nathan Dawe - We Ain't Here For Long (Holding On Remix)

in a sea - sk

remember the time 
when you said  - no more  

i remember the line you crossed 
liked you did before

i get it, you said it
forget it, you meant it
oh but how 
how can you be so sure? 

when you don't know 
that i love you more than before
and I swore 
i would stay forever
forever more

you're in a sea
a drifting current pulling away
if you could just believe
the light still shines
showing you the way back to me

i get it, you said it
forget it, you meant it
but how can you be so sure? 

when you don't know 
that i love you more than before
and yes i swore 
that i would be yours evermore
oh forever more
and then you would believe, 
oh you could believe
and you could be so sure
that i love you 
I love more 
more than before, before
because I swore
forever more
forever more

Lyrics:

Finally you has arrived
Its wonderful to feel your heat..
Enjoying the love you're giving me
You make it easier to breathe..

You, you are my inspiration
You, you make me smile and create..

I know you had some difficult days
You could disappear for a long time..
sometimes you were weak in so many ways
while I was waiting for you to shine..

You, you are my inspiration
You, you make me smile and create..

You, you are my inspiration
You, you make me smile and create..

Oh, sunshine I need you in my life
I depend of your glow
You make me feel so good when you decide to come
And the smile on my face will show you

That you, you are my inspiration
You, you make me smile and create..

'I know,because I feel It '

I know, because I feel it
I know how it tastes
It's so funny
Oh! But it smells so good!

And it's just us after all,
Just me and just you.
Don't say anything, look at me
The heart never lies.

I know, because I feel it
I know how it tastes

It's so funny!
The whole world smells like you!
It's so wonderful!
Because you're right next to me.

I know, because I feel it
I know how it tastes
It's so funny
Oh! But it smells so good!

And it's just us after all,
Just me and just you.
Don't say anything, look at me
The heart never lies.

I know, because I feel it
I know how it tastes

It's so funny!
The whole world smells like you!
It's so wonderful!
Because you're right next to me.

Do you feel it too?
Mmmmm, do you taste it too?
Do you feel it too?
And do you taste it too?

I know, because I feel it
I know how it tastes
It's so funny
Oh! But it smells so good!

And it's just us after all,
Just me and just you.
Don't say anything, look at me
The heart never lies.

I know, because I feel it
I know how it tastes

It's so funny!
The whole world smells like you!

I listened for your keys at the door
And I waited for your steps upon the floor
I picked up my drawing of cows and barns
And I ran into your coat and your scarf and your arms

You showed me that fear is forbidden
You told me that pain should be hidden
You smacked me, you struck me when I opened my eyes
You taught me that truth hurts more than lies

Oh I, yes I, I’m not sad and lonely
You won’t see, no you won’t see the tears that I cry
Oh I, no I’m not sad and lonely
It’s just the way the rain falls every time that we say goodbye

I hope for a day
A day of diamonds and dreams
I hope you will say
That things are not what they seem
I pray you will take me
Your hand upon my cheek
And tell me you love me
And that you’re sorry for being so weak
Oh daddy…

I can still smell the green grass you mowed
Every Sunday, cut blades blew across the road
So little was there on show
But the roots are still deep and still guide how they grow

Oh I, yes I, I’m not sad and lonely
You won’t see, no you won’t see the tears that I cry
Oh I, no I’m not sad and lonely
It’s just the way the rain falls every time that we say goodbye

One gentle breeze, a breeze that whispers
Sweetly past your cheek
One gentle wave, a wave that walks you back through yesterday

Quiet as the years
Timid as the tears
Falling as they're calling out for you to hear

Silence crashing in 
In a quiet whisper 
It's calling out to you

Calling out to you
Calling out to you

One thoughtful stream, a stream that strings your every memory
One burning dream that turns against the stream
Of reverie

Quiet as the years
Timid as the tears
Falling as they're calling out for you to hear

Silence crashing in 
In a quiet whisper 
It's calling out to you

Calling out to you
Calling out to you
Calling out to you
To you
To you

Give time a moment a moment of reflection calling you to hear
The melody of introspection is clear

Silence crashing in 
Through the quiet whisper 
It's calling out to you

Calling out to you
Calling out to you
Calling out to you
To you
To you
Allt svo hljótt (All is quiet)
Allt svo hljótt (All is quiet

'Love me'

So quietly, without a fuss, you sneak into my life.
And no one knows how much you love me.

You love me.
Uncontrollably.
I don't know what...
...leads you to this.

I'm scared.
Even to think about it.
I feel how...
You paint our future.

Love me. Because I want it.
I feel how it pulls me in.

Love me.
Oh! I want it so much.
Forget that there's anything else!

Love me.
Oh! I want it so much.
Forget that there's anything else!

So quietly, without a fuss, you sneaked into my life.
And no one knows how much you love me.

You love me.
Uncontrollably.
I don't know what...
...leads you to this.

I'm scared.
Even to think about it.
I feel how...
You paint our future.

Love me. Because I want it so much.
I feel how it pulls, pulls me in.

Love me. Because I want it so much.
I feel how it pulls, pulls me in.

And screw the world! It won't understand.
I don't care! I forget about reason!

Screw the world! It won't understand.
I don't care! I forget about reason!

Love me...

Smoky Faces of Love.
