They did it again, THS have vastly improved my song.
What I found is that it sounds exactly as I want, even though I didn't know exactly what I wanted.

Cobbled Moth & The Happy Somethings - What I've Found

Old New Babylon

Valley of Tears as in

https://biblehub.com/sermons/auth/robinson/the_vale_of_tears.htm


Across the big wide world I roam
I know I'll never find my home
Here, in the valley of tears
Went back to school they gave me a scroll 
I turned it into a singing bowl
Full of beer 
In the valley of tears
Everything not what it seems
I was controlled by a false dream
And fear
In the valley of tears 
In weakness God is strong 
In meekness I belong 
Across the big wide world I roam
I know I'll never find my home
Here
In the valley of tears
Hope lies beyond this land
All the faithful understand 
And we're cheered 
In the valley of tears 



In the Valley of Tears

You don't have to believe me
I'm not pleased I was right
I'm not proud of my life
I just see certain things 
There're lessons I've learned 
Wickedness in high places
I've discerned 
Are you hip to the subliminal
Why believe the words of criminals 
Put faith in this world 
You'll be let down 
It's far worse than you feared 
Yet it's far better too
There's nothing they can do
To stop love
We're in for dark days 
There's nothing they can do
To stop love
We're in for dark days 
There's nothing they can do
With their digital cage
I just see certain things 
Many times I've been burned
The powers of darkness 
Everywhere discerned
Are you hip to the subliminal?
Why believe the words of criminals 
Put faith in this world 
You'll be let down 




Faith in this World

Written 2/3/24 
Bathroom, phone, Spanish guitar with very old strings 

As I try to feel good 
Relive my childhood 
And worry about future loss and gain
Real bombs are flying
Real children dying
To condone it is to be insane 
If I do who will complain?
Denial, got to give the world a smile
Denial, it never goes out of style 
Real children dying
All the adults lying
Blind eye, deaf ear, hard heart, big row
I remember childhood
I used to be good
Got to be something to do somehow
And it needs to be done now
Denial, got to give the world a smile
Denial, it never goes out of style 


Denial

You talk a lot of rubbish
And I love you anyway 
I notice how you live and I look past the things you say
Happy is the boy who can forgive in his heart
I know it is a gift
From which I'll never part 
I know it is a gift
To this upstart
I forgive the politicians and the ones who pull their strings
I forgive the dark magicians wizards witches Queens and Kings 
I forgive your acquiescence 
And the hatred that's so vile
And everyone whos wronged me
I'm the worst I am puerile
Happy is the boy who can forgive in his heart 
I know it is a gift 
To this upstart

Cold blood moon

Inwa

Not gone. Just elsewhere. A sonic migration from shadow to glow.

Her light folds gently into absence 歩きながら、光は沈黙へ変わる ("While walking, the light turns into silence")
The beat is a bridge between forgotten warmth And the shade that hums with memory
In the dust of transition — 残響だけが残る ("Only the reverberation remains")
Glide through airless places Where dawn once rehearsed A shimmer that now belongs elsewhere.

🎛️ This track emerged from a live session — raw, evolving, and captured in the moment. Catch the full performance here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWCCXdI7aXc

“Intelligence Insight (Olttaoff Situation) / Awrenzas”
This remix reinterprets Awrenzas’s original through the lens of meticulous analysis and deep insights.
Olttaoff’s approach fuses intricate sonic elements into an organic whole, transforming profound understanding and subtle realizations into sound. Delicate textures and unpredictable progressions create a space where intellect seems to converse with the subconscious.
The subtitle “Situation” hints at the unfolding stream of thoughts within the listener’s mind and an awareness of the complex structures hidden in reality.
