Song 1 of 2 of Ali Wick's October spooky duology: dramatic, sensual, obsessive.

Pavlov's Dog:
Love had driven her mad. She knew the stormy seas held her last chance to drive him to her.

This is a very religiously controversial song.  It is about a killer who is questioning God's intentions.

THE OTHER'S FACE - Shadow Projection

We paint our hidden selves thick on strangers' skin, tattooing our fears on 
their flesh. Jung's most unsettling insight: what you hate most intensely 
in others is often your own disowned quality reflected back. In the ballroom 
of projection, we tango with demons dressed as strangers. "Look how perfectly 
their flaws match our deepest wounds." Next time someone repulses you, ask: 
what part of ME am I seeing in them?

Dark cabaret with tango influences. Theatrical, haunting, revelatory.

📖 The mirror of projection

The Other’s Face   (Lyrics)

We paint
our hidden selves thick
on strangers’ skin,
while shame-dark tears collect
behind their eyes like bitter mirrors—
each reflection shows back
what we refuse to own.

The dance hall pulses with shadow-ghosts,
their heavy feet drumming up
rhythms of recognition and blame.
Every face we hate holds our truth.

Each gesture reveals another self-denied:
that wild laugh we swallowed,
that rage we buried deep,
those hungers we dare not name.

In the ballroom of projection,
we tango with our demons dressed as strangers,
tattooing our fears on their flesh
until their features twist
into monsters of our making.

What gargoyles we chisel from denial’s stone—
our own face emerging
in each grotesque grin.

Our hatred spins through mirror-halls,
ricochets off walls of who-we-think-we-are,
until it nests beneath our ribs, a dark bird
feeding on everything we claim not to be.

Look how perfectly their flaws
match our deepest wounds—
these strangers wearing our discarded parts
like borrowed coats.

We hunt ourselves in others’ faces
while truth waits behind their eyes,
patient as a new moon,
for us to recognise 
recognise our own reflection. 




The Other’s Face

https://the-lost-connection.com  is the place to learn about me and my history.  Although I am just a Warehouse Picker, I am also a songwriter/keyboard player (IPI.  1069682323).  I have written over 1000 song lyrics since 1989 and have released 12 albums.  My productions have never been good enough to promote and I'm happy being an unknown artist, writing and recording music for pleasure rather than as a professional.  In April of 2017 I created my own website.  If you are interested in my songs then please save and stream on internet streaming sites, such as YT Music and Spotify.   If you like my words then check out my book ‘The Words Behind The Music Volume One: Lost In Reality’.  There will be a 2nd book within the next year, The Other Ones Before (Then After).
 
I released my first album, 'Lost Property' in December 2019. In the following months I released 5 Best Of albums.  They contained 87 tracks which I'd recorded between 2011 -2019.  In March I decided to release another album of songs which I'd recorded on tape (1994 - 1998) although 'Love Music' was updated in 2018 and the poem , Arrival... In Due Time', was recorded to complete the 'Reality In Dreamland' story not long before the album release.  

'2020 Vision' was the last album release of 2020.  This contains the single 'Voluntary Redundancy' which is very significant in regard to the album and the year in general. 

The next album release was  'New Lost World 19-20-21' (released on 1-9-2021 and features songs recorded in that 3 year period) which does feature one song that was re-written in a collaborative format.  Many of the songs were recorded (or re-recorded) during my year break after redundancy.

Soon after my 9th album, I released 'The Lost & Found History', which was a duo that never had enough time to get ideas up and running, but the brief recording moments occurred and this album shows the results.  The recordings were done between 1999 - 2013, but a couple of the tracks were initially just music.  Lyrics were added and, in 2021, the vocals were added to complete the songs.  Other songs were meant to recorded but we never found the time.  

Progress was made during the COVID years and 'Whatever Happened' is an album that reveals the results of attending a sync-writing course for 6 months; writing to briefs and collaborating.  It is mixed with personal, poignant and humorous songs.  it features lyrics from as far back as 1990. Before the release of the album 2 singles were promoted on Spotify: Won't Stop' and 'I Am Just Me'.  I am glad to reveal that the album will contain another version of 'Won't Stop' but called 'We Won't Stop' featuring Tim (the other half of The Lost & Found') on guitar and vocals (and co-writer of the music).

I may promote 'Voluntary Redundancy' from 2020 as I never gave it much exposure when first released.

Prior to focusing on my website and my  own releases I was in a heavy rock band...

At the beginning of 2013 I became the keyboard player with Innovator.    At the beginning of 2015, 'Time Is Running Out' but the first album was recorded before I joined the band.  'Spare Time' I introduced to the band and it was modified into an Innovator collaboration.  The song has been pre-recorded in it's original musical format , but lyrics amended since 2009 and is on '2020 Vision'.  A single was released on DistroKid in January 2016 for which I had a very big influence, called 'Southern Lady'.  It was a variation of a piece of music called 'The Lost And Found' recorded as a song many years before, but never released (as vocals not added until more recent years).  On this SoundCloud site I have deleted all the Innovator songs as I left the band in June 2017.  ‘Trapped Behind The Looking Glass’ was the 3rd album whi ch was released in August 2018,  on which I played on 6 of the songs and did backing vocals on ‘Dogs Of War’ (the deep chorus vocals).

Quirky, charming and fun, Canadian/American soulful pop singer Ali Wick, a one-time product manager for major label artists and former professional player for Rugby Canada, is focusing on her original true love – music. Online music publication Canadian Beats called the song “a soulful pop delight, blending catchy melodies with upbeat energy” and noted how Ali’s vocals “draw you in with their inviting tone and smooth delivery.”

Her Fall 2024 EP 'Sobbing at the Squat Rack' is about this optimistic young woman who has gone through the wringer but is feeling more and more resolute in who she is and wants to be — and has a sense of humour about the ups and downs.
