You're Wondering Now

"Pandeia" is a song born from silence, intuition, and deep transformation. It flows like a ritual, guided by ethereal vocals, raw emotion, and mystical textures. Inspired by ancestral energy and the divine feminine, it invites you to reconnect with your essence and embrace your own inner power. 

Pandeia

The first piece of ambient music for a D&D campaign, Thunder Frontier.

The Guitars Say Sorry – The Gods Don’t Hear Me Anymore

Closing out the Jaded album, The Gods Don’t Hear Me Anymore is a stark, emotional reckoning—part confession, part lament, part protest. Over a raw acoustic guitar in open tuning (DADEAD), The Guitars Say Sorry delivers a song that feels like it was written under a flickering streetlight in the early hours, alone but overheard.

The lyrics drift between the personal and political: forgotten memories, absent gods, the weight of family history, and the ache of disappointment in the world around us. “Tears come easy when you're young / And you don't know where you've come from” sets the tone—disillusionment framed by a search for meaning, identity, and connection. There’s resignation in the refrain, “The gods don't hear me anymore,” but also an undercurrent of defiance: “I carefully chose my enemies.”

Sparse, honest, and lyrically pointed, The Gods Don’t Hear Me Anymore is a fitting end to Jaded—a quiet anthem for those still standing in the ruins, asking questions no one seems willing to answer.

Lyrics
I'm waiting for someone
Who I don't remember
Under the bridges
The shadows of my father

The gods don't hear me anymore
The gods don't hear me anymore

So here we are
Ruled by old men with long memories
After George's death
I carefully chose my enemies

The gods don't hear me anymore
The gods don't hear me anymore

Tears come easy when you're young
And you don't know where you've come from
And they always tell you what you've done wrong

In the morning
I held my breath and nothing's changed
I closed my eyes, I'm still to blame
I can't help feeling it's still the same
As the last time

Is life always like this? I find it hard to tell
Is this what we're in for? It never ends up well

I lost my taste, changed beyond recognition
I'm spinning plates
I love the world we live in

The gods don't hear me anymore
The gods don't hear me anymore

Ran out of space, and not for the first time
Felt out of place — seems my mother was right

The gods don't hear me anymore
The gods don't hear me anymore

Tears come easy when you're young
And you don't know where you've come from
And they always tell you what you've done wrong

In the morning
I held my breath and nothing's changed
I closed my eyes, I'm still to blame
I can't help feeling it's still the same
As the last time

Is life always like this? I find it hard to tell
Is this what we're in for? It never ends up well



These Guitars Say Sorry - The Gods Don't Hear Me Anymore (Singer-Songwriter / Jaded)

A dark, brooding journey through ancient oaths and forgotten gods. Oath to the Raven King summons the echoes of war drums and the whispers of the forest, where shadowed figures swear loyalty beneath blood-red skies. With pounding rhythms, haunting melodies, and a cinematic Viking intensity, this title track marks the beginning of a saga steeped in myth, honour, and vengeance.

Oath to the Raven King

Feel the thunder roar and the skies crack open—Thor channels the raw might of the Norse god of storms and strength. Driven by pounding percussion, heroic melodies, and the pulse of battle, this track is a tribute to the protector of gods and men. A storm forged in sound, Thor is power unleashed.

Thor

Step into the realm of the gods. The Aesir is a powerful, immersive tribute to Odin’s chosen—fierce, immortal, and bound by fate. With soaring themes, thunderous rhythms, and ancient echoes woven into every note, this track summons the divine presence of the Norse pantheon. Glory, war, and wisdom collide in this sonic offering to the gods of Asgard.

The Aesir

The Open Casket Road Show is a "funeral folk minimalist" project formed by members of post punk band WATERS RISING, after the other 2 members moved to California for 6 years.  Featuring singer/songwriter Glen Goss (Judas H. Chrypst) on auto-harp, vocals, and most percussion, and Eric Lyman on upright bass, organ, toy piano, and other keys.
