I BREAK ALL THE RULES DEFINING THE MUSIC MAKING PROCESS, SIMPLY BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THEM! 

AND BECAUSE THEY ARE UNFAMILIAR, UNPREDICTABLE, FROM ONE CREATION TO THE NEXT, ONE TUNE WILL ONLY TELL YOU AS MUCH AS READING ONE PAGE OF A NOVEL, AND ONE LISTEN, NO MORE THAN A PARAGRAPH :)

FREQUENT VISITS TO ANOTHER WORLD

NICE PLACE TO VISIT

EAST OF EDEN (WEST OF THE PECOS)

ISLAND OF THE DEADBEAT inst

SEVERAL TRIPS

VICTIM EXPECTED TO LIVE LIKE VICTIM
DIE....DIE....DIE LIKE A VICTIM
INNOCENT CHILD CAUGHT UP IN THE CONFUSION
WHY....WHY....WHY ALLL THE FRICTION

WE'RE ALL VICTIMS OF THE SYSTEM
WE'RE ALL VICTIMS OF THE SYSTEM

TOMORROW, LIKE TODAY, IS THE SAME AS YESTERDAY
TOMORROW, MUCH LIKE TODAY....
TOMORROW, LIKE TODAY, IS THE SAME AS YESTERDAY
TOMORROW, MUCH LIKE TODAY....

FOOLISHLY WE THINK WE CAN BEAT THE SYSTEM
BUT DRINKING IN DEFEAT IS AS CLOSE AS WE'LL EVER COME
NOTHING CAN CHANGE WHAT HAS NEVER BEEN CHANGED
MANY HAVE TRIED, BUT HAVE DIED BEFORE IT LEFT THE PAGE

TOMORROW, LIKE TODAY, IS THE SAME AS YESTERDAY
TOMORROW, LIKE TODAY, IS THE SAME AS YESTERDAY

TOMORROW WILL BE JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DAY
THE SUN RISING IN THE EAST, BUT REFUSING TO STAY
OH, AND NOTHING CAN STOP THE TIDAL WAVES OF HISTORY
THE SUN RISING IN THE EAST, BUT REFUSING TO STAY

NOTHING CAN REPEL THE TIDAL WAVE OF MISERY
AND NO ONE CAN CHANGE THE BLOODY COURSE OF HISTORY
NOTHING WILL DEFLECT THE BITTER BLOWS OF TRAGEDY
AND NO ONE CAN PROTECT THE INNOCENT FROM THE GUILTY

FOOLISHLY WE THINK....WE CAN BEAT THE SYSTEM
FOOLISHLY WE THINK....WE CAN BEAT THE SYSTEM

ALTHOUGH WE KNOW WE CAN NEVER BEAT THEM
WE WILL NEVER JOIN THEM
WE KNOW WE CAN NEVER BEAT THEM
BUT WE'LL NEVER....NEVER....NEVER JOIN THEM

SELLING OUT TO THEM SHOULD BE OUR BIGGEST FEAR
PROTECTING OUR INTEGRITY, OUR WHOLE CAREER
IF WE RETAIN OUR DIGNITY WE'RE VICTIMS IN THE FLESH
BUT OUR SOULS ARE ONE COMMODITY....
THEY CAN ONLY SECOND GUESS

DON'T SELL THE ONLY THING WE OWN
DON'T SELL THE ONLY THING WE OWN
WON'T SELL THE ONLY THING WE OWN

DIE LIKE A VICTIM

Regardless Of What You Think (Ste Van & Tiho)

ARE WE BETTER OFF BEING FRIENDS
OR IS LOVE THE SOLUTION
DOES THE ANSWER LYE AT RAINBOWS END
OR IS LOVE THE SOLUTION

LOVE IS THE SOLUTION

LOVE IS OUT OF REACH OF YOU AND I
AND THERE’S NOTHING MUCH THAT WE CAN DO

LOVE IS THE SOLUTION

LOVE IS LIKE A VISION IN THE SKY
AND THERE’S NOTHING MUCH THAT WE CAN DO

OH, LOVE….LOVE….LOVE
IS KINDA WONDERFUL

DOES IT REALLY MATTER WHAT WE SAY
OR WHAT WE DO FROM DAY TODAY
FOR IN ORDER TO CHANGE OUR WAYS
WE MUST CHANGE THE SOURCE OF HISTORY

LOVE IS THE SOLUTION

LOVE IS OUT OF REACH OF YOU AND I
AND THERE’S NOTHING MUCH THAT WE CAN DO

LOVE IS THE SOLUTION

LOVE IS LIKE A VISION IN THE SKY
AND THERE’S NOTHING MUCH THAT WE CAN DO

OH, LOVE….LOVE….LOVE
IS KINDA WONDERFUL

LOVE IS MORE THAN MAGICAL
MORE THAN JUST A MEMORY
MORE….MORE….MORE….MORE
MORE THAN A MYSTERY
MORE….MORE….MORE….MORE
MORE THAN WORDS CAN EVER SAY
MORE….MORE….MORE….MORE
MORE THAN JUST A HEADLONG RUSH INTO MADNESS
LOVE IS MORE THAN MAGICAL
MORE THAN JUST A MEMORY
MORE….MORE….MORE….MORE
MORE THAN A MYSTERY

LOVE IS MORE THAN MYTHICAL
MORE THAN JUST A RHAPSODY
MORE THAN FLIGHTS OF FANTASY

LOVE IS MORE THAN ECSTASY
MORE….MORE….MORE….MORE
MORE THAN JUST A HEADLONG RUSH INTO MADNESS

LOVE IS THE SOLUTION

WISHING ALL OF THIS….WAS IN MY HEAD

WHEN I THINK OF WHAT THE WORLD’S BECOME
NOTHING AS IT APPEARS
WHEN I THINK OF ALL THE THINGS I’VE DONE
I’M REDUCED TO TEARS

MAKES ME WONDER IF EACH SETTING SUN
WILL SPELL THE END OF OUR FEARS
WHETHER EACH DAY MIGHT BE THE LAST DAY….
WE ARE HERE

WHEN I THINK ABOUT WHAT LURKS INSIDE
ALL THE SECRETS WE TRY TO HIDE
I CAN’T FORGET ABOUT THE WAY I LIED
WITHOUT REGRET, I WATCHED YOU CRY

WHEN I THINK OF ALL THE THINGS I SAID
OF THE DAYS I THOUGHT I WAS DEAD
ALWAYS WISHING I’D STAYED IN BED
AND WISHING ALL OF THIS….WAS IN MY HEAD

TOO LATE NOW TO CHANGE THE PAST
WITH EACH HORIZON SINKING FAST
THE SEVEN SKIES ARE OVERCAST
THE ACID RAIN LIKE BROKEN GLASS

THE LAST ECLIPSE WAS NOT UNDONE
REFELECTING BLUE UPON….A BLISTERED SUN
PROJECTS A HUE THAT DIMS OUR VIEW
A LONDON FOG HAS….CLOSED THE WINDOW

BREAK

NOTHING TO SAY….IT’S TOO LATE TO PRAY
OUR BELIEF IN IMMORTALITY
HAS THROWN IT ALL AWAY

APATHETIC AND GREY
FEET MADE OF CLAY
WHILE WE’RE RAPING THE COUNTRY
WE CELEBRATE EARTH DAY
(THE GARDEN OF EDEN IS BLEEDING FROM EVERY PORE)

IGNORING THE WARNINGS
FROM MOURNING TO MOURNING
THE SACKCLOTH AND ASHES
THE BLOOD THIRSTY FACISTS
ARE SURROUNDING EACH DEATH BED

IGNORING THE UNFED
PROMOTING THE BLOODSHED
ABORTING THE BRED
WE BRING OUT THE DEAD

PHILOSOPHERS SAY WE’RE THE ENEMY
THAT WE….THAT WE….
ARE WHAT WE FEAR

SEER AND SAGE RECITE PROPHECY
BUT ALL THAT THEY SEE
IS MORE MISERY
AND MORE TRAGEDY….MORE TRAGEDY

I BROKE HER ARM
IN THREE DIFFERENT PLACES
MANCHESTER, BIRMINGHAM AND LEEDS
SHE’S THE SAME GIRL
WITH THREE DIFFERENT FACES
LORETTA, LORRAINE & LOUISE

I BROKE HER ARM
IN THREE DIFFERENT PLACES
MANCHESTER, BIRMINGHAM AND LEEDS
SHE’S THE SAME GIRL
WITH THREE DIFFERENT FACES
LORETTA, LORRAINE & LOUISE

I TRIED TO CATCH HER EYE
WHEN SHE THREW IT MY WAY
BUT INTENTION AND THE ACT
CAME UNSTUCK AGAIN

SHE STIRS SOMETHING IN ME
BUT I’M NOT HER CUP OF TEA
SHE’S STRICTLY PG
AND AFRAID OF MEN

SHE LOVES TO MAKE A SCENE
MARK THE PLACES WHERE SHE’S BEEN
TURNING FACES BOTTLE GREEN
WITH HER SICK SCENTS

ONE WHIFF OF HER PERFUME
CAN FUMIGATE A ROOM
NEUTRALISE A NASTY NIFF
IN AN INSTANT

I BROKE HER ARM
IN THREE DIFFERENT PLACES
MANCHESTER, BIRMINGHAM AND LEEDS
SHE’S THE SAME GIRL
WITH THREE DIFFERENT FACES
LORETTA, LORRAINE & LOUISE

I DON’T KNOW WHICH ONE TO KISS
I DON’T KNOW WHICH ONE TO CUSS
I DON’T KNOW WHICH ONE TO KISS

TAKING THINGS 
FAR TO LITERALLY
LEADS TO OBSURDITY
MAKES HER, 
HER OWN WORST ENEMY

WHEN TOLD IN PLASTIC SURGERY:
“YOU CAN PICK YOUR NOSE FOR FREE”
SHE RAMMED TWO DIGITS UP
JUST FOR POSTERITY

I DON’T KNOW WHICH ONE TO KISS
I DON’T KNOW WHICH ONE TO CUSS
I DON’T KNOW WHICH ONE TO KISS
I DON’T KNOW WHICH ONE TO CUSS

I BROKE HER ARM
IN THREE DIFFERENT PLACES
MANCHESTER, BIRMINGHAM AND LEEDS
SHE’S THE SAME GIRL
WITH THREE DIFFERENT FACES
LORETTA, LORRAINE & LOUISE

SHE’S A CONUNDRUM
WRAPPED IN CONFUSION

THREE DIFFERENT PLACES

GOLDEN FLEECE

ALL THE PEOPLE WANTED TO LEAVE
ESCAPE THE GOLDEN FLEECE THAT SPREADS DISEASE
THE EVIL THAT ESCAPED MAKES IT HARD TO BREATHE
WILL BRING THE WHOLE WORLD….TO ITS KNEES

GOLDEN FLEECE

UPON A GIVEN DATE BUT UNSPECIFIED TIME
WHEN THE SUM OF OUR FEARS WILL BE RELEASED
THE THREAT OF EXTINCTION INCREASING BELIEF
WE WILL LEARN THE TRUE MEANING OF GRIEF

WE'RE STANDING AT THE GATES OF HELL
WE'VE THROWN OUR FUTURE DOWN THE WELL
WHAT WENT BEFORE, HAPPENS ONCE MORE
WE CAN'T IGNORE EACH EMPIRE FELL

STANDING AT THE GATE

A GOLDEN FLEECE THAT SPREADS DISEASE
WILL BRING THE WHOLE WORLD TO ITS KNEES

ZEN CITY
EXISTING ON A HIGHER PLANE

SECURITY AND PEACE BEGAN HER THOUSAND YEAR REIGN

ZEN CITY
EXISTING ON A HIGHER PLANE

ALL THE TROUBLES OF THE WORLD
DISAPPEARING WITHOUT A REFRAIN

ZEN CITY
EXISTING ON A HIGHER PLANE

ONLY TRACES OF A CHECKERED PAST
AND FLEETING MEMORIES REMAIN

ZEN CITY
EXISTING ON A HIGHER PLANE

AS THE MIRACLES INCREASE
DEATH WILL DISAPPEAR AND THE PAIN

ZEN CITY
EXISTING ON A HIGHER PLANE

ONLY TRACES OF A CHECKERED PAST

CITIZEN KANE CAUGHT THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN TO ZEN CITY
SHE HAS AN INTERESTING NAME
AND HE WANTED TO SEE HER AGAIN

HOPING ALL THAT WOULD COME TO PASS
WITHIN ONE PERFECT MOMENT
WOULD BE THE ONE THAT WOULD LAST
FOR ALL ETERNITY

WHEN SHE TAKES YOU IN HER ARMS
AND WHISPERS, COME TO ME
SHE OFFERS PERFECT LIFE
IN A PERFECT WORLD
WITHIN HER HEAVENLY CITY

SECURITY AND PEACE
BEGAN HER THOUSAND YEAR REIGN

PURITY AND FAITH
EXISTING ON A HIGHER PLANE
ZEN CITY
ONLY TRACES OF A CHECKERED PAST
AND FLEETING MEMORIES REMAIN

CAPRIAN DREAM

OUR LIVES MAY BE WORTH LESS THAN GRAVITY
BUT WE ARE WORTH SO MUCH MORE....IN TOTALITY
BUT WE CAN'T IGNORE OUR OWN MORTALITY
AND WE CAN'T IGNORE OUR OWN CATASTROPHE

WE CAN'T IGNORE OUR DESTINY
REFUSE TO CHANGE OUR MENTALITY
WE REFUSE TO REARRANGE OUR DIARY
CHANGE THE WAY WE VIEW SOCIETY
CHANGE THE MAN THAT LIVES INSIDE OF ME
CHANGE THE MAN

ONE STEP AHEAD OF DEVASTATION
TWO STEPS AWAY FROM TRIBULATION
THE GRAVITY OF THE SITUATION
WE INFLICT UPON THIS THING WE CALL....CREATION

ALTHOUGH WE SHARE COLLECTIVE VISION
EACH OF IS ON A DIFFERENT MISSION
TO SERVE THE ID THAT LURKS WITHIN
OUR SUPEREGO JUST A SKIN

THIS THING WE CALL CREATION

SOON AFTER OUR FIRST LOBOTOMY
WE VENTURED....DEEP INTO....BLACK COMEDY
PULLED BY THE STRINGS....OF HISTORY

THE ARCHITECTS OF.....OUR OWN STUPIDITY
BEGINNING WARS WE NEVER WIN
WE ARE THE PUPPETS, NOT THE MANNEQUINS
SWALLOWING OUR OWN PHILOSOPHY
CENSORING OUR OWN HUMANITY
EXPELLING NATURE, WE BREATHE IN NURTURE
WE THINK THE CURE LIES IN THE FUTURE....

WE THINK THE CURE LIES IN THE FUTURE - Ray Scott & Ste Van Horne (vocals) first edit

CALLED UPON THE MEN IN WHITE JUST THE OTHER DAY BUT FEAR OF EARS 'A' LISTENING
PREVENTED ME FROM HAVING MY SAY
SO I TALKED WITH MY EYES
TO THE DOCTOR IN DISGUISE

FROM THE SCREAMING TO THE DREAMING WE TOUCHED ON EVERYTHING
WE TALKED ABOUT HOW LIFE BEGAN
THE WEATHER AND THE DAWN OF MAN AND EVEN WHEN HIS REIGN WOULD END WE TALKED ABOUT MY CHILDHOOD
AND HOW MY PARENTS NEVER UNDERSTOOD

BUT ALL HIS SMOOTH AND REHEARSED LINE OF PATTER ONLY SERVES TO MAKE HIS WALLET EVER FATTER

GLAM ROCK MEETS TAMLA MOTOWN. COMMENTS LEFT SUGGEST IT IS REMINISCENT OF DAVID BOWIE AND ROXY MUSIC.

GOTHIC JAZZ FUNK POST-PUNK INDUSTRIAL DISCO

DISCO STU-PID

THOUGH BEING OUTSPOKEN MEANS MEDIA & AUDIENCE REJECTION, I WILL NEVER JOIN THE NEW BREED OF MUSICIANS;

THOSE WHO HAVE F_CK ALL TO SAY!

Do we use our talent to promote #HUMANITY, #EQUALITY, #LOVE, #JUSTICE, #FREEDOM, QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL, or do we simply promote ourselves at the expense of others?

EVEN IF I FAIL TO MAKE A MARK WITH MY OWN MUSIC, I WANT YOU GUYS TO SUCCEED!

A mercenary music industry wants the public to believe your music is substandard, but that is far from true....#UNSIGNED, #INDEPENDENT & #UNDERGROUND puts #SIGNED music in the shade!

DON'T JUST LIKE, LISTEN; DON'T JUST LISTEN, COMMENT; DON'T JUST COMMENT, SHARE!

musicianswithvision.org 
musicianswithvision.com
stevanhorne.org

It is a myth that unsigned music equals inferior music; the only way we can blow that myth out of the water is to do it together! 
I DON'T RESPOND TO LIKES WTHOUT COMMENTS; Doesn't prove it was played!
DON'T JUST LIKE, LISTEN; DON'T JUST LISTEN, COMMENT! And support musicians that support you!

MY TUNES ARE ALL ABOUT CREATING ON THE FLY; NO COOKBOOK, NO RULES, NO PREPARATION, NO PLAN; IT JUST HAPPENS!

FORMULA THINKING AND BOUNDARIES PUT EXTREME LIMITATIONS ON THE CREATIVE PROCESS; TRUE ART CAN NOT BE PRODUCED WITHIN A RESTRICTED SPACE!

I DON'T BREAK DOWN BOUNDARIES, BECAUSE THERE WERE NO BOUNDARIES IN MY WORLD TO BEGIN WITH!

MUSIC MUST CONTINUE TO EVOLVE, AND THE ECLECTIC APPROACH IS NOW THE ONLY WAY FORWARD, BECAUSE INDIVIDUAL GENRES HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED!

CREATING WITHIN A SINGLE GENRE, THEREFORE, RESULTS IN REGURGITATION, REPETITION, AND MEDIOCRITY!

And way too much emphasis is placed on production value; actual creativity and diversity are taking a back seat! Inventive lyrics also rarely get the credit they deserve. This indifference to the talents that actually set musicians apart plays into the hands of a money-minded music industry, signing our own death warrants!
