2125

She flirts. She cries. She vanishes.
A dark ballad for every woman ever accused of being too much — too loud, too emotional, too seen.
Built from the diagnosis they throw at us when we stop being convenient.
A thousand masks, yet none at all.

Dedicated to the men who think “histrionic” is a synonym for female.

Lyrics

She walks into the crowded room,
Eyes like fire, lips in bloom.
A practiced smile, a scripted line,
She craves the gaze, she must shine.

She laughs too loud, she moves too fast,
Each word a spell, each look a cast.
A touch too soft, a glance too bold,
Her stories shift, her truths untold.

She flirts, she cries, she disappears,
Returns again with new veneers.
The damsel waits, the siren calls,
A thousand masks, yet none at all.

She spins a tale, she sheds a tear,
A tragic queen for all to hear.
A gasp, a sigh, a widened eye,
Validation - her supply.

She plays the victim, plays the star,
Yet no one sees who you really are.
A fleeting spark, a fading light,
Lost in drama, lost in night.

She flirts, she cries, she disappears,
Returns again with new veneers.
The damsel waits, the siren calls,
A thousand masks, yet none at all.

She begs for love but shuns its weight,
Needs devotion, fears its fate.
For when the curtain meets the floor,
She is alone, forevermore.

The Histrionic Mask

I enjoy tuning things with vocal synthesizers.

Sweet venom. Sad poetry. Savage satire.
I write in the places where shame flirts with seduction,
where heartbreak lingers like perfume, and grief begs for one more hit.
Some tracks are lullabies for lost boys. Others are traps disguised as tenderness.
You’ll find humour, humiliation, and hurt, often tangled together.
There are stories here. Of pain. Of power. Of things people don’t want to admit they feel.
If you’re unsure whether to laugh, cry, or look away, 
good. That means it’s honest.

(And yes, some songs still bite.)

Always open for song topic requests.

Archpalatine - One of the freshest new artistic voices standing out amongst the backdrop of the City of Brotherly Love’s many multi-faceted and musically talented artists. Archpalatine the singer, songwriter, pianist, performer, and charismatic band front-man Derek Anthony Wilson is poised to not only create a lane for himself and his bandmates (Anthony Pompey - vocals, Aaron Wolf - percussion, Ben High – bass, and John Palmer - synths and direction) but also blaze a trail for creative risk takers, soulful story tellers, and theatrical musicians who challenge the old guard of musical gate keepers.  

Wilson is a classically trained concert vocalist, National Marian Anderson Historical Society scholar artist, and internationally touring musician who’s accolades both on and off-stage are only rivaled by his desire to use his musical platform and gifts to initiate and support social change, engage spirit and talent, and course ambitions within the musical landscape. With a penchant for beautifully and seamlessly blending genres, Archpalatine sires a sound that is just as difficult to pigeonhole into one category as it is to forget.  

Archpalatine breaks down genre to create a new sound that may eloquently and appropriately be called “Histrionic Cosmic Soul”.  The feel-good music gifted to the audience at an Archpalatine show offers a long-time abandoned experience that can be enjoyed by every group of people from all walks of life, every taste in entertainment, all preferences and interests, and moves the soul, be it in the form of smiles on faces to dancing out of your seat. 

Archpalatine infuses his musical presentations with theatrics traditionally reserved for stage shows and are reminiscent of large-scale Broadway features — be they performed on a grand scale, in intimate rooms, or at the trendiest outlets.  Performances by this musical powerhouse develops rapport with the audience, encourages audience participation through call & response, and incorporates danceable rhythms. Shows regularly include one-of-a-kind fashion designs and electronic components that engages both the audible and visual senses, alike.  Not content with mere showmanship and intriguing music that makes you feel elation? Archpalatine aims to leave his audience so infused with good vibes and positivity that any in attendance is prone to leave a show feeling more jubilation than possessed upon arrival. 

Archpalatine provides a voice and an instrument to the feelings of hope, joy, love, and triumph that is so needed in this current climate. This serves as a departure from the mundane and discouraging weight and obligation life places before us. Archpalatine has been named among WXPN’s “The Philly 100” list as well as a designated staff pick for ALT 104.5’s & iHeartRadio’s 2019 Year End Awards.  

Trends fade, new artists come and go, but Archpalatine is the stuff of legend and poised to make each next year his best year, this last year his past year and his right now IS what’s next.  With the recent release of their leading single “Riding & Rolling” (written by Wilson and Danny Newport) from Archpalatine’s latest offering “Transition Period” [EP]. I introduce and welcome you to Archpalatine.
