Rocking Gnossienne

Ghosts In Turin

isolamento

This song was originally written as an acoustic track with just piano and vocals, and has been through multiple levels of feedback to reach its current stage. I have tried to approach overcoming isolation and depression in a way that is generally relatable, and to build to an optimistic conclusion. It's in Db Major, which is the musical equivalent of someone putting on a happy face.

Lyrics:

Did you ever feel that the world's not listening
Did you ever feel that the world just don't care
Did you catch a glimpse of the sky made of diamonds
Did you look again and it wasn't there

When you see through the illusion
And you break through your confusion
You can find the truth in your heart
You can heal as your world falls apart

Did you ever think that you were a loser
Did you ever think that you didn't belong
Did you hear the song in the colors of the rainbow
Did you look again and it was gone

When you see through the illusion
And you break through your confusion
You can find the truth in your heart
You can heal as your world falls apart

You're not the only one that's hurting
You're not alone in your pain
You can find solace in remembering 
That rainbows only follow rain


When you see through the illusion
And you break through your confusion
You can find the truth in your heart
You can heal your world and not fall apart

Yes, you can heal your world and not fall apart

The Illusion

No Trust

Josh had a grade which had John and Vic. John was a stereotypical Hollywood bully.  Josh:”he was an idiot.
Me: did you know that Vic used to give Swerlies? I didn’t even know what they were.
Swerlies are when you flush a kids head down a toilet.
Josh: he was a bigger idiot.

Then moving onto the grade below Josh which was my grade which had 006.  006 began causing teachers to cry as early as primary school in 芳草地。There was LX, a girl from HK who he tripped on the way to the blackboard. Her nose landed on the ridge of the incline and broke. So she had to go back to HK for reconstructive facial surgery. 006 tells me this story with a gleeful look on his face. Now you’re thinking he’s a sociopath. Then, he says, “that’s why I took it easy on her at 55.” I’m thinking “phew.” Then there was that time he made Starlight cry by putting his dick on her face while she was asleep. A typical day at 55 for 006 involved him coming up with new ways to trip people at lunch. A typical weekend for him involved him calling the girl with the best grades and asking her if she wanted to fuck him.  I started in class 3 which was mostly Korean. It’s the 3rd worst class out of 4. 

I learned quickly that I could tell jokes and make people laugh. We got along and they taught me swear words. The Koreans were a united front. Meaning, only them and the Mongolians ever did group stompings of people. We…the Chinese whatever…be it Chinese American or whatever or the groups that spoke English couldn’t unite to save…anything. I remember walking up the stairs one day and a group of Koreans were just kicking my friend while he was on the ground. My other friend and I just laughed at him and I asked, “what did you do to them?” For some reason I was never beat up or made fun of.

Closest was in grade 7 where the door locked and 2 Korean girls approached me. I thought I was gonna get snuffed until one of them started touching my face while the other tried removing my shirt. I just ran. Koreans all over the world: If we wanted to snuff you we’d send 10 guys and not 2 girls you moron.
So I got promoted to class 2. Was sad to leave my 2 English speaking friends in class 3. I was afraid. Class 2 was 006’s kingdom. He sat in the back and made fun of people all day long. It was the first time I had been in classes where a student had all the power. And…nothing happened to me. 10 years later, I asked him,
“Why’d you never pick on me?”
“因为你嘴太损了” (You were too snarky)
Class 2 had Starlight at the time and she went out with K, 006’s best friend. He broke up with her on Christmas. Then, he stood in front of 006’s desk and made 1 hand eat the other. “Her lips swallowed mine. It was gross.” Starlight sat a few desks to the right and overheard him and walked out the class. I remember thinking, “what an asshole.” Since, I was very much incapable of feeling sympathy for anyone save Starlight that was probably the moment I fell in love. We used to talk for hours on messenger after school.
Then onto class 1 so now it’s grade 8. I was sad to go. 006 did make me laugh all the time and I didn’t want to be stuck in a class full of nerds. I was the worst academically there and the homeroom teacher would say, “Chris. Not a single A.” What was amusing about that was the B in English. What was also amusing was during the school trip where he told the kid who was 2 years younger than all of us “to be more like Chris. People like him.” I was expecting him to tell me to be more like the other kid who was a straight A kid but the shoe never dropped. So onto what I did to kids. Miss steukenbergs English class. The teacher before her Mrs Smith gave me an A. She was firm but fair. Sent 006 out for not doing his homework. Then Miss Steukenberg showed up. 1 haiku poem each. I asked the class before it was due,”who wants their homework done for them?” Everyone said yes so I got to work changing cursive with print writing and different colors. 


Harder, Faster, Earliar

4. Dark Soul Love (Interlude).wav

Lyrics:

Forgive me for what I've done,
Just sing me the lullaby.
Those torn wings won't make you fly,
But please, just believe this time.

Lost past hides the light from me,
Still trapped in regret and dark...
Intentions of restless mind,
To make up what could've been...

A lifetime of guilt within,
Pulled under the soothing lie,
Anemic and anchored with
Cold halo you left behind.

So vulnerable...

Daylight tones the dust
From the unsettling hunt for peace,
Chained down to past.
Chimera's voices' lied!
I'm so lost and vulnerable...

Lost

where did she go

We are the future

When I started to work on "I pay" I prepared the chords, lyrics, trained the song and then, the moment I was about to start recording, my son came and asked for cosmic song.
Ye, all my inspiration for "I pay" was gone. And new inspiration settled in my head.

I remember I started to think about my career aspiration in his age. I was dreaming about to be astronaut, or pilot or garbage-man... My son is in astronaut phase.

It took me one evening to make him the song. And he immediately loved it so much that each time we sit in car he was asking for "cosmic one". It was top played song in the car for few weeks. I was proud he rated it between AC/CD and their "It's a long way to the top" (he called the noisy one) and Spirituál Kvintet "Beránek a vlk (Riu riu chiu)". 

Into the song I embedded the following original records:
- Discovery Go at Throttle up
- Apollo 11 Countdown
- Discovery Computers are in control
- Mercury 6 Zero-G
- Discovery Nice to be in orbit
- Apollo 11 Quindar Tests
- Apollo 11 One Small Step for Man
- Apollo 11 The eagle has Landed
- Columbia Welcome Home
- Sputnik Tones
- Cassini Saturn Radio Emissions

The cover photo was taken by my sister-in-law Monika.

I wanna be in NASA

I write, produce, and sing my own songs as an outlet for my feelings. Being born British, we tend to bottle things up, so here's me letting go.
