Beyond Synth Podcast

Beyond Synth - 323 - Catching Up With DEADLIFE

Lyrics:

And now the sky is watching us, watching us
It's not the same, not the same, not the same
And it will try to comfort us, comfort us
It's not the same, not the same, not the same
And now you die, die for us, die for us
It's not the same, not the same, not the same
And now the sky is watching us, watching us
It's not the same, not the same, not the same

It's not the same, It's not the same, not the same
It's not the same, It's not the same, not the same
It's not the same, It's not the same, not the same
It's not the same, It's not the same, not the same

Not The Same

Today on the best synthwave chat show there is, Andy chats with Cognitive Anthropologist and one of the hosts of Decoding The Gurus, Chris Kavanagh. After talking for too long about Chris’ accent, Chris tells Andy about living in Japan, doing lab studies, the study of rituals, and sense making. Chris explains secular gurus and what he and co-host Matt Brown do on their podcast. Later, they get into the culture wars and talk about Star Wars, Marvel, Lord of the Rings, and Ninja Turtles?

Beyond Synth - 342 - Decoding The Gurus with Chris Kavanagh

Rectangular Cubed

CareFree

Carefree

This track was inspired by the ancient practice of Kulning, a special call used to herd reindeer, I saw a video about it and made this track immediately, 

Kulning

FILM

Ectoplasmic

Rules of engagement
We are in Hell, became demons
Our passions turn to torment
We claw, gnaw at others purity
Defile, defy, with a sweet smile

When in Hell find a place of comfort
Don't tread too far when others seek aid
Don't sacrifice self, remain close to your shelter
Lest their Hell becomes yours

You know this realm
Know yourself
Know that all is lost

When love is offered, know this transaction
Is fleeting, temporary, pain will return
As patience wears, they will declare
Their affection was merely defection

When in Hell find a place of comfort
Don't tread too far when others seek aid
Don't sacrifice self, remain close to your shelter
Lest their Hell becomes yours

There is no redemption
From demons blind with hate and pain
Lost in realms they cannot escape
Remain in your refuge and wait
..until the day you die

Dread Arrival - Rules Of Engagement Demo
