This is an acoustic Jam. I'm feeling out the songs at the moment as I need to evolve these to a one person live set until I have an actual band to project the full versions. So live TBD will probably begin life as an acoustic set soon enough...

Studio version here:

The new.somg image represents how I have changed as a person since writing the song. When I wrote the song I was trying to promote my music in the cesspit that is Instagram and the original song image alludes to those frustrations. I enjoyed it immensely but I don't think it's a part of the internet that should be amplified right now. It's broken and I can't see a way to fix it without governments legislating limitations on it and I don't think that will is widespread enough amoung world leaders... So for now I've disconnected myself from the matrix that it is...

Lyrics

I am a one
I am a zero
Bits battered together
Build my binary hero

Wait, what's that...
That's not me
Look! I'm normal and arguing and trying and failing
But IG gots me covered
To them I ain't faking
I am a one
I am a zero
I make binary sum I am a hero...

I'm an adult
I can see
I can type
I'm mostly free
Yet still I chose just me me cause
The suffering turned off
Good head in sand
Bad luck you all
For I've got shorts and reels and all

Frozen
I'm fed this light
Rectangular and bright
My fingers move
It 's zoned me in
Now swipe swipe swipe
Like good merry men times 10
again and again and again and again and again

I'm a human
I can feel
I can search
I have mobility
Yet I escape in cause
The suffering turned off
Good head is Grand
Lets have a laugh
Chuck head in sand


Laughs are great
Gotta lift that spirit
But time needs make for suffering
Earth prisoners
The ones we skip because we're grand
Too hard to watch nor lend of hand

The'yre voiceless, toyless, bombed and bulldozed.
Yet love and heart and survival nurses their rose
More dove is your attention
Intention for prevention of that black
Collecting moral muse
More conscious how you choose

I am a one
I am a zero
Bits battered together
Build my binary hero

Yay more mistake...
Meet another jewel AI can't make...
With Human I assimilate
Machine to lift that heavy weight!
Brain and head and heart and bond how we create

As Ones and Zeros

Composer for Films, TV and Games

Howdy,

Welcome to TBD.

All these creations are made by hard work and years upon years upon years of practice and trying to explain this world and the human condition to myself in the process through poems & songs.

Thanks for all of your wonderful support.

Peace and Love to Everyone,
