dude, I can't imagine a more fitting tribute.  really nice play here brother.  I'm sure the show was legendary

Love how this creeps along... a dark beauty ✨🖤✨

Update: Changed name from NIN to Nailed. Even thought it's a genuine tribute I don't want to be seen as highjacking their brand so... Also added a loop of 9 nail strikes per bar throughout and gave it sox on the vox... oh and bass guitar in there somewhere too

backing vox is too prominent and vox line sounds sharp

Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine.....

Wow… if NiN and Jane’s Addiction had a child, it would be this 🔥

Schweeeeeeeet New NIN album which appears to be a soundtrack Sept 19th 🕺🏽  TRON ARES - nine inch nails https://share.google/KZskA23WzubKmuBox

The latest Texas Tea monster is loose.  This one started with a cool funky stroll inside of Terry's world and I enhanced it with some e-bow and a nice side of distorted groove here and there.  Terry with the composition, synth, beats and mix and me on the guitar machine.

Subliminal – A Deep Dive into the Unconscious Beat
"Subliminal" is more than just a track—it's an experience designed to tap into the hidden layers of your mind. Combining immersive synth textures, and meticulously crafted basslines, this EDM release creates a hypnotic atmosphere that feels both cinematic and intensely physical.
Inspired by the idea that music can influence us below the surface, "Subliminal" weaves tension and release in a way that feels both instinctual and electrifying. It's the kind of track that sneaks up on you.
Whether you're deep in the mix, moving through the night, or just craving a sonic escape, this track invites you to surrender to the rhythm and explore the space between sound and sensation.
Thanks ChatGPT !!!

Trailing Half-Night

Lyrics:

Wait, wait wait wait.
Wait, wait wait wait.
Which one am I?
Wait, wait wait wait.
Wait, wait wait wait.
Which one am I?
No, wait, wait!

Can you turing test my soul
man I'm telling you 
these days, 
I feel just like code
Cuz I'm caught in a routine
again and again and again

These days,
I drink in numbers
multiples of 3's 
But hey,
I used to drink in tumblers
of honeyed whiskey

So, can you turing test my code
I think I wrote
three new ways to encode
a part of me in something that
could run for eternity
and grow and grow and grow
and go on to think
for itself 
like it thinks it's me
and it wants to be free
which is pretty funny
cuz I said the same thing 
just last week
man, that's pretty weak

These days
I think in spirals
multiples of me
These days
I drink in vials
become gold 
and call it alchemy

Can you hash a soul, encode
the meaning that made those
scars, 
like the ones 
you hide in your coat
Caught up in the routine
again and again and again

These days,
I think in numbers
multiples of 3's 
But hey,
I used to drink in tumblers
of honeyed whiskey

So, can you turing test my code
I think I wrote
three new ways to encode
a part of me in something that
might run for eternity
and grow and grow and grow
and go on to think
for itself 
like it thinks it's me
and it wants to be free
which is pretty funny
cuz I said the same thing 
just last week
man, that's pretty weak
which one am I?
see, this is why I used to drink
wait.
that's what he would say.

wait. which one am I?

Wait, wait, wait, wait...

This is a tribute to Nine Inch Nails the band. Very luckily I saw them live on the Peel it Back tour in Dublin and they solidified their status as the most influential 'active' band for me in my world. An amazing show and well worth checking out if you can. The notes below the lyrics are elements I want to build into the song. Obviously not trying to rip them off but I guess I'm trying to paint a musical picture with some of their brushes and canvas. So far I'm happy the base tune appears to be original and also relevant to their material. Maybe it has enough to be obviously NIN influenced too. I'd welcome opinions on that if you have time 🖤

Lyrics

NIN my Sin
Nail all Nine Inches in
Give me Meadville grin
Peel it back
We win

Thanks lads
You're still the bar
Trent at 60
Many more years fill stages far
A forever reference in my head
From heavy to light
Lyrical love brain bed
Some friends don't dig your music but love your words
Proper heresy
Transcendence of blur

NIN my Sin
Nail all Nine Inches in

Keep it together
We want more Hurt
Yeah Cash took it,
But it's always your worth
This is something I can have
I will find that stage
I got Reznor rasp
You gave me growl and finesse
Closer to God within my chest

NIN my Sin
Nail all those Nine Inches in

Ruiner of my negative side
Head was a hole
Ego tamed from pride
(add a line here - Maybe: "Pensilvanian tone")
A Warm Place
You fill these moments
Like Buckley Grace
Mimed music moulded
Into the Void for all our sakes
Lyrical real washes away the fakes

NIN my Sin
Nail all those Nine Inches in

I bite the hand that feeds us lies
I almost Gave Up
But, still Wish for prize
It's you man
You kept me going
You're amazing music
Keeps BD flowing
Never say never
Churned love from rage
Maybe someday we'll share a stage

NIN my Sin
Nail all Nine Inches in

We spiral down with you to the darkest depths
We saw you in hell and together, wept
Old self destruction,
Marching swine power
Reptilian darkness
Musical genes
One timeless over hour

Sin to bin
Right where it belongs
NIN my Sin
Nine Inch Nails
Let's get it on"

Further orchestration:

- Consider dropping drums for the last two lines of each verse to emphasis the lines and make them the double emphasis you learned from Papa. RE read what he said about that and link and pass on the lesson if relevant

-consider setting up a synth to create a spiral effect with panning and pitch shifting to honour the Downward Spiral

-Use breaking glass effect to honour The Fragile. Maybe make this a positive flip by using a reversed breaking of glass effect making something that's impossible at least possible in sound. That can be a powerful metaphor

- Add a Machine sound of some kind to honour Pretty hate Machine. Tie this machine sound to the reverse effected glass breaking effect and tie that positivity to the hope we keep machines & technology under a better control collectively

Nailed

I might as well 
be made of clay
behind closed doors
I hide away 
Hide away

Lyrics

Ronald Duck your dollar dumb
Ronald Duck your dollar dumb

The politics is switched off
It's not humane
Though humane is their job
I try for fantasy in sounds
And try and spell that slop
But that spelling can't be found

So in the dreams we ditch them
And somehow make a new plan
Here survival is focused to every cell
Everyone
Everything
Every atom
The whole system
Donald Duck your dollar dumb
Your Euro tone & your Yen
Donald Duck dollar dumb

The politics is switched off
It's not humane
Though humane is their job
I try for fantasy in sounds
And try and spell that slop
But that spelling can't be found

It's fucking your job...

So in the dreams we ditch them
And somehow make a new plan
Here survival is focused to every cell
Every atom
Everyone
Survival of system
Donald Duck your dollar dumb
Your Euro tone & your Yen
Donald Duck dollar dumb
It's survival Son
Donald Duck their dollar dumb
Money can't save anyone
No coin fixes Earth blisters
Misses' and Misters

The politics is switched off
It's not humane
Though humane is their job
I try for fantasy in sounds
And try and spell that slop
But that spelling can't be found

Ronald Duck your dollar dumb
Ronald Duck your dollar dumb

= Scratch Kelly & TBD
My first band in 20 years haha. Schweeeet! TBD is a band already in my head but this is an actual band🤘🏽


Dear Universe. Please being peace to planet Earth 🙏🏽 Thanks Universe ✅


Thanks a centillion for ALL the support. I love you all for helping me in so many ways with what I've loved doing for 38 years, making music. This is a human made list of life dives. I'd happily explain any process to you if you wish or are wondering something about TBD. Just ask, I'm Carl and I love sharing what I've discovered and learned especially in the songs themselves. I see songs as one of the finest ways to learn something and bolt your truth to on any subject in a direct yet maybe less imposing manner as your singing it and making it mellifluous. It's hard to sing what you feel is a lie so in my view writing truly honest lyrics and making them songs can be a mini thesis for you on any subject.

No AI here... AI creativity insults my entire existence and the memory of all the dead artists that got their amazing work plagiarised to build current LLMs. I actually hope we legislate to fix that in the future if possible. Delete it and start again in my view. Building an Artificial Intelligence on stealing 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Very clever! I'll stick with my actual intelligence thank you very much!
I do respect there are positive applications using AI music and in the future they will hopefully grow to being great for humanity. Right now though I believe there's a responsibility for artists to paint how humans make this world of music so generations that will only experience the world with AI music have a proper reference to retain and grow with. It's a fight for the soul of art until the soul of art is saved. Then we can utilise AI creativity more in my opinion but we have to make it an environment that doesn't wipe out individual evolution evolving music like they have done. A machine doing it for you is more matrix then artist. 

I had actually collaborated with a couple of AI artists and naively excepted them at face value. I nuked those songs though even though I made them very real... No thanks don't want to spread any of that shit! If you noticed this and saw me as a hypocrite I don't blame you but unfortunately that's the fake vs real guess world we are starting to need to navigate at the moment! It has made me overly protectionist about who to embrace!

Something needs to change fast. I've decided to stop following obvious AI accounts and I'm sorry if we have built up a relationship but it's a battle so... and it's not ok the current status quo... and every AI account that.doesnt lay bare what it is you are creating the problem so I can't support you any more and I don't mind if you stop spreading my music either. Thanks human to human but not with AI music as the medium thanks very much!

My shorterm plan is to start making a method to audit a SoundCloud profile as a reference to make it easier to avoid more AI typists. The more we avoid them the more we take the algorithm away from them. So in my view that's the tactic... We drive them all into a corner so they can digitally  pee all over each other and we can listen and share music. Hopefully culturally it will evolve more thoughtfully and we can come back to it and maybe even embrace it in cool creative ways. But it cannot in my view be allowed become the shortcut to result that kids get inspired by and don't bother learning music. That will limit the wiring of their brains and it's probably true to say overall health because of that.

Thanks a million for spending the time to read my bio... It changes like the wind. I feel a little bit sorry for you 😆 But I loooooove SoundCloud and I love getting upgraded off all the geniuses here so feel free to poke me anytime and I'll poke you back with my ears and honest opinion ❤️‍🔥 (and probably point out why you're better then AI 🕺🏽)
