Magnificent work ... very well produced !!!!

Amazing production, slightly progressive.

strong euphoria,well done. Actually one of the best songs of all time.

Wow, the singer has a fascinating classic Bowie-like sound, married up with 80's pop... Good stuff!

Thank you, bowie is definitely one of our favourites

After a brief hiatus The Hollywood Arcade return with their latest single “Alive”. 

This luscious synth-pop track tells the story of an arcade game AI becoming self aware, part of the greater story told on The Hollywood Arcade’s forthcoming self titled album. 

Like most THA songs, “Alive” also serves as a metaphor. At our lowest ebb, a spark of inspiration can bring us to life.

Dirty Trick

Evening Blues (instrumental version)

Something a bit different and out of the ordinary, What have I created now.. 

Written and Produced by Me 

"The Aliens Are Here"

I am ME, and I am You-min. Anything else within these two lines is simply... All Good. 

Making up boxes, no matter how one frames it, is just prop-a-gating the same ole' divisive cracks under a fresh coat of bad faith-paint. So stop marking up tribal bounds, and instead, let's all BOND within the only Spectrum that should really matter: this gorgeous You-n-I-verse that we all share.

LYRICS

How do you grope about
with eyes popped wide when there's no view 
of what stretches behind the salt suss-pression of 
your sticky-sweater skin?

Do fingers ball up, full exploratory-like
Flail away in fistfuls
Fuzzy flurry of Punch & Ply
Do digits dance delicate 'twixt the dunes
to dowse what fiery diary swells within?

***

Why do we trope around
Big Lies plopped down wide open, peer-review
a spectrum skew molded by-the-bi trap within?

Genitalia vibrant stroke impressions
Hexadex or Binary, veiled hue expression
'Box be box' in spite of facets or dimension --
it still walls us in...

***

What makes a fellah-fellah
...stakes a sistah-sistah
...slakes a mallow-yellow
...wakes a mistah
Whoda howda whyda focus on special 
kindsa tribal lines and gloves?

What fakes a feelah-feelah
...cakes a mistah-sistah
...shakes a twistah-listah
...breaks a blistah
why wouldn't ya want an all-encompassing 
kinda it's-all-good full life to love?

***

Why do the hokey-pocus
...lose the larger focus
...choose the lie that chokes us
...rue the roost with spose-dahs?

You R you N you Are you-min
time to toss the tribes
and share one

LOVE

Gro(w)ping Thru The F(l)og

taking a stab at my first (I think?) orchestral style string arrangement. Just slapped on top of a previous unfinished piano tune, but everything’s original. Probably more tweaking to get a better mix, but pretty happy with this first go. String sounds courtesy of BBC Orchestra VST plug-in. I have a kind of silly nostalgic video/slideshow in mind to go with this one day...

…It sounds kind of like a soundtrack at the end of some schmaltzy movie, maybe where the dog runs away from home, has all kinds of adventures, and returns years later to find his owner doesn’t recognize him at first, but eventually does, and they run to each other in slow motion, and the dog wants to say that all he ever really wanted was to be hugged, but he can’t say it because he’s a dog, but the owner somehow understands and everything works out in the end. Roll credits.


All comments welcome, and don't be shy to be critical or suggest ideas to help me improve. :)
