Great soundscape- full of tension and foreboding

Love these chords. Very dark, very heavy.

The chords flow in a sombre stream along a river that chops up time.

There are elements of sorrow, of mystery, of enquiry here.

The house burns on and on but is never consumed.

October Rain

October Rain (Planes / Sotomayor )

There is good and evil in each of us. We see this every day, looking inside ourselves, into our heart, into our soul, into our inner mirrors. Sometimes we see good there, but sometimes evil.  I want to dedicate this track to all the good people who gave their lives in this eternal war. In a sense, this track is a requiem for the passing World, as I knew it.

Inner Mirrors

Gettin' up in the morning to the same old songs
and the moon's still up cause we beat the sun
better turn it all on just to make it
through another long one.

But it's never as bad as it could've been
though it could be better than it always seems.
So we do it for each other
it makes it a little better.

And we once were blind but we now can see
the way the world works and how it ever came to be
beautiful and ugly
yet there's room for one another.

So turn the noise off step outside and look up high
at the stars we all see in the same old sky.
They can't be hiding the truth
and we share them with each other.

I know the world's not perfect and it never was
and the wheel keeps turning like it always does.
Turns forward just a little faster
than it turned out last year.

Now we make the best of every turn we've got
and we won't quit livin' till the big wheel stops.
Gotta keep it goin' baby
just live a little longer.

Just Step Outside

Ever thought if you could live without your skin?
And go to a place not far from here?
I can take you there, close your eyes

In the middle of the night you wake
Drop of blood running down your face
The mark on your wrist means you're chosen now

Take a step through the misty grey
Down the path where the spirit waits
Put your feet into the water now

Take me back down to the river
Take me back down where the spirit floats
Separate the ghost

Joined together in the atmosphere
The spirit hand takes away your fear
You let go, the dream takes over now

Take me back down to the river
Take me back down where the spirit floats
Separate the ghost

Spirit realm, is there room for me?
Spirit realm, will you take these chains?
Spirit realm, is there room for me?

Ever thought if you could live without your skin?
And go to a place not far from here?
I can take you there, close your eyes

Lyrics:

Vamping

May you be free from pain and suffering
May you always believe in now
May you be kind and take safe offerings 
It doesn’t really matter how

May you be loved and love back often 
May you run into a crowded house
Leave freely the way that you walked in 
When you feel like getting out

[INSTRUMENTAL]	

May you be free from pain and suffering
May you always have an open door
And when good friends come a knocking
May they always come back for more

May those good friends become old friends 
And be there when you need them most 
Be there to share in happiness 
And when darkness needs a toast

And if your feelings overcome
You just keep leaning into them
It doesn’t really matter now
It didn’t really matter when
You were calling from the light that shone
Remember these feelings will soon be gone

May you be free from pain and suffering
May you listen to these words
May you find someone to confide in
Someone who sees your worth

Someone who is playful 
And cherishes all that’s good
May they love you more than I do
Im not sure that they could

[INSTRUMENTAL]

And if your feelings overcome
You just keep leaning into them
It doesn’t really matter now
It didn’t really matter when
You were calling from the light that shone
Remember these feelings will soon be gone

This track is the typical guy waking up in the morning not knowing where he is and fears the retribution when he gets home.

Lyrics:
Verse 1
Laying here ‘till morning when the sun comes up
Laying with my face down in the dusty ground
Feeling so hung over on the verge of breakup
I need one more drink. Let’s have another whip round

Verse 2
Cold emotion sems to play us a game
Who am I to criticise and who am I to blame
Here am I where my heart burns so hot
I’m losing my mind. I’m losing the plot

Middle 8
I need a little comfort to keep my heart warm
I need another drink to face the fire storm
‘cause when I come home, the levee will break
The ground will move and the house will shake

Verse 3
I thought about work, but it seems such a chore
Look at the neighbour who’s living next door
Rises at dawn with curtains still drawn
I close my eyes and try to ignore

Verse 4 
I’ll lay down my heart now and lay down my soul
I’m better off living without job control
No cent to my name. Life’s just a card game
We all end up in a six foot hole.

No way out, lost, misguided by simple curiosity. The Key is dropped. The Door closes.
