My favorite songs from around the SC community which I discovered this month.
You are all a bunch of beautiful fountains! Keep gushing.

As usual, this playlist is a work in progress until the end of the month.

The Doll Incidentals: A Slippery Slope

I see many of you are too far gone.
to heed the words of this sombre song.
but if you can, please sing along.
All roads are wrong.
All roads are wrong.

It was said before in ancient babylon.
on the very road that you walk upon.
And this is why your journey's so long.
because all roads are wrong.
all roads are wrong.

the lord above he gave you a map.
and he drip feeds the truth to you on tap.
but please avoid it at all costs.
this world was made for you to be lost.
For All roads are wrong.
All roads are wrong.

you travel far and there's no end.
the road extends as you turn that bend.
and it's only when you're dead and gone.
you'll realize as you've guessed all along.
That all roads are wrong.
All roads are wrong.
All roads are wrong

so here and now i stipulate in song
That all roads are wrong.
and if you believe it, please sing along.
All roads are wrong.
All roads are wrong.

I sing it in a song that all roads are wrong.
And if you believe it, please sing along.
All roads are wrong.
All roads are wrong.

Laycromastantisoon With ⑅

From the album ‘Trust No Leaders’ by The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara. Released July 1, 2022. 

// Scum of the Land
Leaving no stones unturned, the song is about the true scum of society. They are ones at the top, the powers that be, those who “prey on the weak and powerless” and “leach upon the fat of the land, in the name of profit and power”. As the saying goes, “The honest man is defeated, and the scum always rises to the top”.
 
The track concludes the album in a dystopian near-future where “earth is nothing but a barren desert of empty fields and famished men”. To the beat of the marching band, onwards humanity goes, treading steadily towards the end…”

// The Album
'Trust No Leaders' is a record that weaves a voyage through heavy metal history — from its roots in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal up until present day, fusing heavy metal with their signature ‘poetry performance’. Set against orchestral and cinematic soundscapes, the record also pays tribute to non-Western musical traditions, including Native American and South American folk music, Vedic chants, and Indo-Persian classical music. The lyrics bring together elements from modern theater, classical Persian poetry, to Jungian Psychology and theology. 

Commenting on the motivation behind Trust No Leaders, 
TCOMAS: "Our inspiration extends beyond musical genres and the confines of discipline.The confluence of influences in our album extend throughout time and across cultures. In retrospect, this really captures our ethos: Look back into the past for insight, and look into the future with foresight. And in doing so, we created something new of our own."

Landing about 15 months after their debut album Full Spectrum, the duo’s sophomore LP expresses a more aggressive side to the band and was recorded last summer at TCOMAS’ studio in Camden Town, London.   

Discussing the new album’s motivation, TCOMAS:
"The current crisis and the events of our time have made it necessary for us to analyse, investigate, and expose the issues in urgent need of systemic change by looking inwards into the human condition. We want the album to be a beacon of hope, for making a future that prioritises people and the environment."

Scum of the Land

From the album ‘Trust No Leaders’ by The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara. Released July 1, 2022. 

// Smell of Your Rot
“Smell of Your Rot” is about breaking free from the chains of psychological abuse. The song is told from the point of view of a woman who reconnects with her soul in order to take back control of her sense of self after years of living under the control and oppression of a coercive partner. A symphony of metal guitars and classical strings set the scene for this triumphant moment of liberation — which can be likened to waking up from “a deep restless sleep lasting years and year long”. Finally, she sees everything in the world in a completely different light.

Blessed are the Women

They'd rather we hide
our magic
underneath the stones
thrown at us
to keep us quiet and
away from our power

But we are
everywhere

In the fire you burnt us
to be reborn again
from the soot

In the air you suffocated us
to wax and wane again
with the breath of the moon

In the water you drowned us
for our
lungs to cradle us again

In the earth you buried us to
grow again like seeds from its
precious womb

Have A Little Faith In The One You Love Lyrics:

Have a little faith in the one you love
Have a little faith in the one you love
Have a little faith in the one you love
Have a little faith in the one you love

Giving up is too easy
And I don't mean maybe
When you love someone the way I do
And you know that they can make you blue

A man has got to be a man
And sometimes he's got to have a plan
Got to be strong and take a stand
Because giving your love isn't always wrong

Couldn't find another girl like you
Take the pain loving me just the same
Loving me just the same

Have a little faith in the one you love
Have a little faith in the one you love
Have a little faith in the one you love
Have a little faith in the one you love

Have a little faith
Have a little faith
Have a little faith
Have a little faith in the one you love, love, love

Have a little faith in the one you love
Have a little faith in the one you love
Have a little faith in the one you love
Have a little faith in the one you love

You love

Did you hear about the neighbors? (Tell me)
They just moved to God knows where (Really?)

Better say nothing (Nothing at all)
Than to make small talk (Small Talk)
Still, it's not always easy (It's not easy)
To just stay silent (Bla bla, bla bla)

Better speak your heart (Shy heart)
Than talk in vain (Small Talk)
But it's never that easy (It's not easy)
To be just honest (Bla bla, bla bla)

Mornings always feel so wrong (I agree)
Coffee’s cold, but I don’t mind (I prefer tea)
Guess it wakes me up just fine (Hopefully)

Disease (Lady Gaga Cover)

The heat is fading, the clock keeps on turning,
Summer’s ashes fall, but my fire’s still burning.
No room for excuses, no weight to defend,
I cut through the noise, I begin where I end.

Stand up, shake the rust,
Burn the dust, rebuild the trust.
No more waiting, no disguise,
I walk the edge with open eyes.

Deadlines whisper, but I shout much louder,
Fear is a ghost, I grow bolder, prouder.
Every strike I take, I carve my way,
No chains, no doubt, I own this day.

Stand up, shake the rust,
Burn the dust, rebuild the trust.
No more waiting, no disguise,
I walk the edge with open eyes.

Pressure’s a hammer, but I’m forged in the flame,
The weight on my shoulders just sharpens my aim.
No past can bind me, no storm can remain,
I rise with the season, I break every chain.

Stand up, shake the rust,
Burn the dust, rebuild the trust.
This is the moment, this is the fight,
I step into autumn with a blade of light.

Burn the Dust, Start Again (electrorock)

where’s the love? (featuring Amelia Wu)

Some of our art is made on computers, some of it is made by hand. We are particularly interested in that gray area in between where you cant really tell. All of what we create here is one work laid out in segments, all connected. The Mystic Tape Deck universe is vast and explores all manner of adding meaning to our lives, while pondering meaninglessness.

Please consider supporting our project and helping us complete the work. We make books and cds that go with them. We also have a graphic novel and a custom oracle deck in the works. All part of the story.

A Multimedia Puzzle-Story Of An Immortal Being's Struggle To Define And Exert Their Will Upon A Wholly Deterministic And Ambivalent Multiverse, And The Strange Cult Who Loves Them.

--------

Greetings to you: readers, beaders, seekers, wanderers, wonderers, outsiders, rebels, fantasy gamers, freaks, mythologists, philosophers, appreciators, creators, perpetuators of beauty, coveters of mysterious objects, collectors of counter culture, the curious, the questioners, the unusual, the unique, the star children, the light workers, shadow integrators, diviners, alchemists, hermits, monks and popes, the saviors and prophets, the builders and destroyers of worlds, the old ones, the young ones, the rollers of boulders, the sun orbiters, the morning star dewdrops and twinkle toed dreamers of dreams, you mystic shining beacons, you crossers and denizens of the void, reality shapers, universe makers and underworld freaks.

"A prominent feature of avant-garde music is to break through various rules and regulations of traditional culture, in order to transcend established creative principles and appreciation habits. Avant-garde music pursues novelty in musical form and style, insisting that art is above everything else; thus, it creates a transcendental and mysterious sound world. Hint, metaphor, symbol, association, imagery, synesthesia and perception are widely used in avant-garde music techniques to excavate the mystery of human heart and the flow of consciousness, so that many seemingly unrelated but essentially very important events interweave into multi-level structures and forms."
