I was greeted by a blood red moon
Was it a sign I've arrived too soon?

Stop the ride, I need to get out
But it's far too late to say that 
Cling to a star
Watch this from afar

My mind was quickly tearing
So fast, so quickly
I lost my mind and my bearings 

Bide my time, with a smile
Forever I could fake that
Somewhere off in space and
Gone without trace and

Fracturing my mind 

Oh I entered the world far too late
At such a rapid pace

My nerves exposed
To the boiling heat, incessantly 
And crushed, crushed by this world
This world's gravity

No I didn't know my place yet
But this isn't where I'd find that 

Moving all the time
Denying all the signs
Overfill my eyes
Take refuge in the sky

Fracturing my mind

Fractured

Jimi: Keys(Casio CA-100 and Yamaha PSR-400)
Rowan: Vocals, Electric Guitar.

Do the stars align the same for those I love
Could we stare right through them now
And gaze upon our tender distant beating hearts
Awash in moonlights’ furrowed brow

I surrender to the stars
Their twinkle takes me home
To see those old familiar rugged creatures dance
Across the sky alone

Tell me what air plagues the cosmos now
Is it tasting bittersweet
Will my cries be carried through the blood of space
For some lonely ears to meet

I surrender to the stars
Their twinkle takes me home
To see those old familiar rugged creatures dance
Across the sky alone

Surrender To The Stars

I know my time is only running out
But I’ll do just what I do
You’re coming at me smiling, burning down the house
Fuck you I’ll do just what I do

And what is going on
And what is going on
And I’ll do, and I’ll do just what I do

It's like I’m swimming upstream, through the reeds
But I’ll see just what I can
A shadow on my life that’s, taller than the trees
I can’t be an ordinary man

What is going on
And what is going on
And I’ll do, and I’ll do just what I do

I know my time is only running out
But I’ll do just what I do
You’re coming at me smiling, burning down the house
Fuck you I’ll do just what I do

And what is going on
And what is going on
And I’ll do, and I’ll do just what I do

Running Out

Jimi: Vocals, Keys(Yamaha PSR-400, Casiotone CT-310)
Rowan: Electric Guitar, Bass.

So listless
And distant
A machine 
Growing obsolete

With programmed actions
And replies 
Receive the message
And comply 

Now didn't I say?
That it doesn't really matter either way

Now didn't I say?
That I didn't come to win anyway 

I'm rounded off
Cast aside
But that's okay 
It's alright 

What's left of my conviction 
Is delayed
But that's alright
It's okay

This vessel is listless
And distant
A machine 
Growing obsolete

With programmed actions
And replies 
Receive the message
And comply 

You were asking what I said
But it really just don't matter 

I was asking if you mind
But I'm still making mine

Some truths lie
Beneath the wires
They'll always hide
Or misfire

So adopt a stance
Of indifference 
And comply
Feed the dissonance

Listless

Rowan: Vocals, Mandolin, Bass, Fiddle.
Jimi: Melodica, Backing Vocals

Cascading down through hollow skies
Scorched earth and black smoke
Beating sun on new days eyes
It's like a cruel joke

Reality seems far behind
This moment leaves a cavern
Stranded now, to fate entwined
This rock is now mine

The wind takes its toll


The Wind Takes Its Toll

Jimi: Vocals, Guitar.
Rowan: Keys(Casiotone CT-310), Bass.

I tried so hard baby
You know I ain't got a clue
I tried so hard baby
Just to love you
I tried, but you don't want that, no
I tried, and I still do

Why do I try
To make something of this?
When all I do's amiss

Were you ever really my lover?
Were you ever really my lover?

You saw it so clearly 
My love was just glue 
You saw it so clearly
I was stuck on you
Sticking at a first contact, oh
I used you to stay intact, oh

When I find somewhere to stay
I'll think of you til that day
When I find somebody new
Well it oughta be, oughta be true 

Were you ever really my lover? 
Were you ever really my lover? 
Were you ever really my lover? 
Were you ever really my lover? 


First Contact

(SAMPLE)
Naked force has resolved more issues throughout history than any other factor
The contrary opinion, that violence never solves anything, is wishful thinking at its worst
People who forget that always pay

Why am I still here
Day after day
Its my choice alone
So what can I say

(SAMPLE)
Figuring things out for yourself is the only freedom anyone really has
Use that freedom

Somewhere in the pain and boredom
Somewhere in the crawl
There’s a light I see
Is it there at all

Am I just radiation
Am I just radiation
Am I just radiation
Am I just radiation

I’m giving up the sun
I’m giving up the sun

Is it the memory of my friends
Or in the sunshine that I’ve kissed
That keeps me hanging on this ride
Keeps me trudging through this mist

(SAMPLE)
Force my friends is violence
The supreme authority from which all other authority is derived

Is it really all that bad
Is it really all that good
For now I wake up every morning
But I’ve never understood

(SAMPLE)
Come on you apes, you wanna live forever

Am I just radiation
Am I just radiation
Am I just radiation
Am I just radiation

I’m giving up the sun
I’m giving up the sun

Am I just radiation
Am I just radiation
Am I just radiation
Am I just radiation

I’m giving up the sun
I’m giving up the sun

Animal Undone

Jimi: Backing Vocals.

They see raw reflections all compounding
Because everything crawls moonlit t’ward the heart
Savages still feel the weight of oneness
Smoulder in their chest with unknown static
Swimming through the glow with graceful cruelty
They could smile a mountain up and shout it down

Humanity
Humanity, its so
Humanity
Humanity, its so

Their hungry bodies lie on tired lakesides
Knowing life is but a breathing prison
Hate festers inside their heart forever
But their love could hold a rushing wave to silence
Summer dreams will dance through time like family
But watch careful for the fleeting in their eyes

Humanity
Humanity, its so
Humanity, its so
Its so

Its so
Its so
Its so
Its so

Humanity

Jimi: Private Lawrence, Keys.
Rowan: General Gribbs, Guitar, Bass(Casio CA-100).

FIRE!

Rowan: Guitar.

Every little light
Shines so bright to me
Incessantly 

Every perfect piece
Shines so evenly
Just for me

A million shooting stars
Line the sky
Of my mind

But what's strange is
They're simply out of reach

Well the truth is
They're simply blinding me

Somewhere, sometime
I will wait for you 
I don't mind
Somewhere, sometime
I will wait
I don't mind, no

I'm the observer
Trying to take action

I'm the observer
Not attracting
But just tracking 

When this vessel which carries me
Twists into space debris

Will you receive me?
Will you receive me?

This week's bedroom mix had a net gain in payoff versus risk. Again, not perfect, but I don;'t expect them to be when I don't plan them. Most of these didn't even have extra cue points! It is also much darker than last week's, and some of these haven't had their time in the sun yet. But, oh boy, did they shine. No idea how I overlook some of these until the last minute.

If you enjoy it, feel free to comment, like, and share!

Also, if you like any of the tracks, I encourage you to buy them in lossless format and find a dark place to listen to it with a good sound system or a nice pair of headphones. These artists are giving us their soul so we can make it another day with that fleeting sense of inspiration; so be sure to buy their merch if you dig them and check out their shows/ events if you can!

lyrics

@ikaisyours

feel your body against me
this isn’t healthy
i did my best for you
tell me
what’s happened lately
is this a daydream
i tried my best to do

@daywxtch
running away, away from you
lost in a daydream, i thought i saw you
out somewhere, out there
a million sparks it's like i threw a flare
too stubborn to repair, we act like we don't care
i'd give up on the world just to sit and ignore

@ikaisyours
feel your body against me
this isn’t healthy
what can i do for you
tell me
what’s happened lately
is this a daydream
i tried my best to do

@wyfydisconnected
i know you're running scenarios in your mind
cold shoulder since you dont wanna spend the time

ill be your k9
search and rescue
i promise baby
ill try my best to soothe you

@ikaisyours
i’ll try my best to choose you
swear to god, swear to god, i would do
anything for you
try my best but it feels so cruel
don’t know what to do
try my best to make sure that we’d be okay
feeling kinda shitty and i know it goes both ways
i tried to be okay for you
but i can’t, i know that we’re both screwed

As the son of a professional flamenco singer, Thomas has always been surrounded by music.  Exposure to flamenco influenced him because it has a dynamic range of emotions—from the "deep singing" style of cante hondo, to the more lively alegrias.  He has also worked in the corporate, independent, and online music industry for a number of years.  At one point he was a Content Manager for the Electronic Music genre at MP3.com, where he screened over 500 songs per day.  Exposure to a wide range of music explains the range of genres in his mixes—he uses whatever carries the mood.  From listening to Umm Kulthum's "Enta Omri" in his childhood, to New Wave and  Industrial as a teen, it became difficult for him to stick to one sound. Though vinyl was his original format of choice when he started in the 90s, the use of digital mixing has helped him better form soundscapes to expand your headspace.  Let him play with your moods for a spell.
