This tune by T.W. Tobin is tantalizing. Sure, it's a little dark, but with tongue in cheek, methinks!  A lovely little ditty that reminds me of some of the more interesting (quirky) material from The Beatles (eg. For the Benefit of Mr. Kite, etc.), et al. Bottom line... musical brilliance! Bravo, Mr. Tobin!

Super cool Terry!  Starts off super cinematic!  The drums sound great!

As soon my co-writer played me the riff in this song my imagination went straight to an alien invasion. I even wrote an alien chant.

Alien Season
Pack up your shit boys
It’s goin down
It’s a good day to die
On this hallowed ground
You’ve seen what they can do
When they get inside of you
Mount up Let’s ride

Chant;
Ensenta halli haley 
Entomba da sen
LaMari band a saye 
Dark Del tooh tha hunday

This day is for heroes 
that die for the one
and fall for the many
Just remember who you are
You fight for the stars

In this alien season
we kill for love and reason
That’s who we are

Ensenta halli haley 
Entomba da sen
LaMari band a saye 
Dark Del tooh tha hunday

Chant: repeat

(I originally wrote the chant in this
song to represent the military chant of 
an alien army marching out to defend their  
home world against impossible odds)
I personally dedicate my part in this song (lyrics, melodies and singing) to the heroic efforts of the Ukrainian armed forces.

Man On A Mission

Believe It True

Wrote a new tune for a new band.....&#13;
&#13;
This is an instrumental called "Guys...She Took Her Damn Helmet Off Again!";
&#13;
Anyhoo, I hope you enjoy the tune and please give me feedback.&#13;
&#13;
"Guys...She Took Her Damn Helmet Off Again!" jwas recorded on an iPad Air using Auria/Amplitube.&#13;
Drums are EZ Drummer 2&#13;
Used my "Tele'd'saster for guitar duties. Amplitube sims for amps. E-Bow.&#13;
Bass is an Ibanez or something (cheapo)

Guys...She Took Her Damn Helmet Off Again!

The eighth song completed for my album "Dragon's Droppings". This one is a strangely optimistic little tune about death and dying. See below for lyrics.

DISINTEGRATING MAN
©2025 T. W. Tobin

Shuffle up my dying deck and deal out all my cards
Sell off all my rusting parts to the cosmic junkyard
Break me down and rake me down into this mother earth
Let the microbes do their dirty work to weed out any worth

But before all I was is gone and escapes this mortal coil
Before my bones disintegrate and my fibres turn to soil
Before my dust departs this sphere and starts to transit space
I only want to know one thing before my crumbs vacate this place

[chorus]
Where will my soul go? Will I retrace history’s road?
Will Confucius share his truths and Hammurabi quote his code?
Where will my soul go, as I rot to smithereens?
Will I argue with Aristotle and drink coffee with James Dean?

Dissolve me and devolve me, disassemble every bit
Ship my particles on ether trails after every atom splits
Send my segments into orbits 'round the endless galaxies
Fling my fragments into motion 'round a billion star axes

But before my molecules dismember and my dentistry decays
Before my last good suit dishevels and my fashion fades away
Before my wiry framework withers and wanders ‘cross the universe
I only want to know one thing before my flecks and specks disperse

[chorus]
Where will my soul go? Will I still have more to say?
Will I share a joke with Wilde and a drink with Hemingway?
Where will my soul go when my giblets turn to jam?
Will I doodle with Lautrec or riff a rhyme with old Khayyam?

Where will my soul go, will I join with a giant’s voice?
Will I recount heroes with Homer, jaw for hours with James Joyce?
Where will my soul go? Are there revelations to receive?
Will I get “I told you so” from H.G. Wells and even from Nietzsche?

[outro]
Where will it go?
Is that you Frank? … Allan? … Bonzo? … Gustav?
Where will it go?
Odyssée

A new mix of this original song the Hop 'N' Barleys recorded back in 2002, which gives the track a lot more punch, clarity and openness, though there are still some issues due to the limitations of the raw tracks.

Can't Lie To You [2018 mix]

This song explains that love is the driver when we're in it and we're just 'taking our chances in the passenger side'

Love in Drive

Wrote this song about a girl I met in New York City... and what Avenue A looks like at 5AM.

Lyrics:

Wanting your love to come into me
Feeling it slow, over this dream
Touch me with a kiss, touch me with a kiss

Now you’re above feeling it still
Tell me it’s love, tell me it’s real
Touch me with a kiss, feel me on your lips

Because this is where I want to be
Where it’s so sweet & heavenly

I’m giving you all my love

Needing you now to come into me
Feeling it slow, over this dream
Touch me with a kiss, feel me on your lips

When you’re above feeling it still
Tell me it’s love, tell me it’s real
Touch me with a kiss, touch me with a kiss...

& when you’re far away I still feel it all
& when you’re far away I still feel it all the same...

Heavenly
