A remixed version of my tribute to Lou Reed. Based on comments Lou made in interviews with references to books he read (e.g by Sylvia Plath, Hubert Selby, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch
  and Edgar Rice Boroughs. Amtor is the name given to Venus hence the 'pun' of the title

Amtor Infers

Some believe this exhilarating vision of the sleepless magical divine white light on a New York street as performed on their second album 'White Light White Heat' by the original Velvet Underground (Reed, Cale, Morrison, Tucker) is about the effects of an overdose of Crystal Methedrine. But then some listeners think the line is "she surely deludes me'. It isn't.


White light, White light move with me and be my friend

White light, White light gonna make you insane

White heat, Aww white heat it tickles me down to my toes

White light, Aww white light I said now goodness knows


White light, Aww white light it lighten up my eyes

White light, don't you know it fills me up with surprise

White heat, Aww white heat tickle me down to my toes

White light, Aww white light I tell you now goodness knows, now work it


Hmm hmm, White light

Aww she surely do moves me*

Hmm hmm, White light

Watch that speed freak, watch that speed freak everybody gonna go and make it every week

Hmm hmm, White heat

Aww sputter mutter everybody gonna go and kill their mother

White light, White light goin' messin' up my mind

White light, and don't you know its gonna make me go blind

White heat, aww white heat it tickle me down to my toes

White light, Ooo have mercy white light have it goodness knows


White light, White light goin' messin' up my brain

White light, Aww white light its gonna drive me insane

White heat, Aww white heat it tickle me down to my toes

White light, Aww white light I said now goodness knows, do it


Hmm hmm, White light

Aww I surely do love to watch that stuff tip itself in

Hmm hmm, White light

Watch that side, watch that side don't you know it gonna be dead in the drive

Hmm hmm, White heat

Hey foxy mama watchin' her walk down the street

Hmm hmm, White light

Hmm hmm, White light

melancolia

I’ve got some Dylan
Some Velvet Underground
“Chelsea Girls”
On this mixtape I found
Ribbon on a reel 
My life in sound
Yeah ribbon on a reel
My life in sound

I’ve got some Bowie
From the old “Low” days
The thin white lines
And the foggy haze
The songs get played
Then fade away
Yeah the songs get played
Then fade away

I’ve got some Patti
Singing “Dream Of Life”
She’s howling out dreams
Into the deep dark night
It feels so alive
So it’s alright
Yeah it feels so alive
So it’s alright

I’ve got some Leonard
On this old Walk Man
He comes up after Joni
“So Long Marianne”
Such a heartbreak
Guess he wasn’t her man
Yeah such a heartbreak
Guess he wasn’t her man

Cause that’s my life 
This mixtape I found
Yeah that’s my life 
My replay life in sound
Cause that’s my life

Jacky, mmm yeah

He’s rolling through the neon haze
Got that wild spark, that rebel gaze

Got that wild spark, that rebel gaze, uh huh
He’s burning bright, he’s feeling bold

Out in the dark, chasing hearts so cold
He’s out in the dark, chasing hearts so cold

Jacky
Got that wild spark, that rebel gaze

Jack Jack Jacky Boy
Got that wild spark, that rebel gaze
Yeah he’s lit up like a match
Cruising the streets, no looking back
Got that wild spark, that rebel gaze

“say it’s true” lyrics 

Tell me how your dreams unfold 
I really wanted to know
How was the story told
Who is you dreaming over 

Jonestown Drinking 
Its 78, 
My soul is rotten 
Infested with hate

Got a colt 45
in a paper bag
Really got some riches
When we came from some rags

Humbles is boring
So i gotta brag

Got a pocket of pre-rolls
Im lighting one up
Got a case of beer
And some solo cups
Ready for action 
We makin cuts
I saw his guts

You dont gotta listen
I can show it to you
Im wearing all religion 
What im sayin is true
European villas
with a beachfront view

say it’s true (demo) ft. canadian hockey

Ice “Lyrics”

All right
All right, i really need some courage
to take on this night
Talkin to you later, think i just might
How can it be wrong if it feels so right
following my heart, but avoid the spite
Falling for you later
Hope your drink aint spiked
And when you die 
Ill keep you cold on ice

Ill keep you cold on ice
Ill keep you cold on ice

You sweep me off my feet
Ill need heavier shoes
If u wanna be artistic
Let me be your muse
Your my drug of choice 
Girl i just want you
But do not overthink all the drugs i use

Its feeling picture perfect
But how did you guess
People call me picky, 
wouldn’t settle for less
Its not like catholic 
But I better confess

You Dont need a pen
To draw my attention 
I Pray im not alone
When Feeling all the tension 
Typing back and forth
Yea you Keeping my retention 

I Dont need keyboard 
To know your my type
Dont worry baby 
ill keep you cold on ice
cold on ice
ill keep you cold on ice
Cold on ice
Keep you cold on ice


while they play football 
we slide on ice
Canadian Hockey 
We do it right

Walk on the Wild Side (Lou Reed Cover) by Regis

Hi everyone I am a Transqueen    who plays  Guitar . I  chronicle my adventure here along with a pic or two !

Originally from the Wirral (OMD land!), I now live in London. Almost all of my career was in IT, Project Management and lack of time and technology meant I never really pursued a music career. The lockdown and technology advances have meant I could teach myself and learn to compose songs. I don’t like to stick to one genre but rather try and ‘parody’ styles. Some melodies have been in my head for years and in some cases words have changed over the years. My aim is really to creat a ‘potpourri’ of sounds such that someone somewhere will enjoy something on here!!!!

I also create videos for my songs and for other artists . Same name on YouTube. 

If anyone likes a song/instrumental enough to want to use it (even if it means re-recording it yourself) feel free to contact me here. 

Stay safe.

“Anyone having trouble getting to, or staying, asleep should proceed with caution when playing The Mortal Prophets’ debut album around bedtime. The demonic intentions implied by the album’s name and defined by John Beckmann … coil each selection in menacing directions, bringing fresh, often frightening twists to these standards. Be aware - when you engulf yourself in these riveting, uncompromising performances. They are not for the squeamish.”
- American Songwriter

The Mortal Prophets blur the boundaries between reality and reverie, crafting soundscapes that pulse with cinematic intensity and lyrical mysticism. Led by enigmatic frontman and songwriter John Beckmann, the group emerged in 2022 from New York’s eclectic underground with their debut EP, “Stomp the Devil,” swiftly capturing attention for their innovative blend of blues-infused psychedelia, dream pop textures, and ambient atmospherics.

Known for their lush orchestrations and haunting vocals, The Mortal Prophets channel diverse influences—from the dark romanticism of Leonard Cohen and the poetic introspection of Nick Drake, to the avant-garde experimentation reminiscent of Brian Eno. Their music feels simultaneously timeless and deeply contemporary, echoing classic motifs while consistently exploring uncharted sonic terrains.

Their discography has rapidly expanded, encompassing seven full-length albums, including the acclaimed “French Summer,” featuring Anaïs de Nerval. Described as a hallucinatory journey steeped in European cinematic nostalgia and analog warmth, the record showcased Beckmann’s distinctive lyrical storytelling paired with a dreamlike ambiance. The collaboration hinted at deeper artistic mysteries, inviting listeners into a world both surreal and profoundly evocative.

Through their evolving discography, Beckmann and his collaborators continue to defy easy classification, positioning themselves as architects of an otherworldly sonic mythology—one that resonates deeply with those drawn to the enigmatic fringes of modern music.
