As is tradition, i must always release something on this day.

This was supposed to be used for a movie but because of covid, production never pushed through. Too bad cos I think this version is even better than the one in Viletin! It was too good to let die in a hard drive so here it is!

Skymarines & Francis Lorenzo (The Ringmaster) - Red Lighted

It has become a sort of ritual to release something on my birthday. So here's one I kept in the vaults for a long time. Didn't quite make it in time for the album and I had no idea what to do with it. So here it is.

Drinks By The River Bend 

Sitting by a river bend, drinking our potions 
Frightened for our hearts hung at the tip of our tongues 
Pale, there is no glow 
So we let it flow 
Pale, there is no glow 
A sight they know we hate 
Sip by sip let us toast to all the kings, all the heroes and their whores 
Laughing at every foolish move and incidental solitudes
The fate of having partners in the world 
To sit by river bends drinking more potions 
Debating futures 
Lost when ours starts 
The swirl of that poison 
Mmm the swirl of that poison 
A sound they know we hate 
Please pass the poison 
I want to drown
relinquish friends 
forsake all my loves 
And drown again 
I want to drown 
They say we do this everyday

Francis Lorenzo (TheRingmaster) & Similarobjects - Drinks By The Riverbend

Since album has been out for quite a while here's a track from SC's debut album "The Great Secret Show"

I can't remember where the drum sample came from. Friend made it, I think some sony loop or something.

Part 2 of 4

Part 2: For You My King

When you're ready to drink from my river
Open all your gates
Fever slithering down like knives
Running on and on
Griever, teach me how to breathe in the afterglow
I will never be done with you
"My queen, today you look so lovely..."
"My king, why do you seem so sad?"
"For they have forgotten 'forevers'"
"But it was something they never had..."
Came out of the game
Breaking off from pain
Read my grinning face
When you're done with me
There's no fever, there is no mask on this face
I am open, as the king of this place
You belong here lovely, fall & settle
I will show you 'stupidity' of all 'truths'
I will never be done with you
(There across their sufficient sea
Far are all our likely enemies
Free to inscribe all their silly songs
Thinking it does no one any wrong
But here we choose to be the constant
Here we choose to hold a notion
Again spoken like one proud king
Forgive me what seems like 'warm wind'
It's just there I have no one to turn to
Zany they think they are above you?
Lost is their true 'night and day'
Going about it in their wrong way
It's not that I fly simply to levitate
Can't help but laugh at the initiates
All of this, you know what I mean
A bow to you, be on your way my queen.)
(I've been waiting for the night to come)

Sleepwalk Circus - Part 2: For You My King w/ Sister Armi Millare

Like having 2 songs in one. (Listen to it with one earphone)

Sleepwalk Circus - The Great Secret Show

Lady of All Rung Evenings

Met a child who lived in a cove 
She had more shelves than she had clothes 
Every morning she'd wander the stretch of the shore 
Picking up pieces of litter and taking it home 

Maybe they'll come back one day, she'd say 
Finally tire from the waves 
But these bottles grow dustier everyday 

There was once I walked with her one dawn 
Counting the footprints that led to the ocean 
She piled up my arms with once-loved broken things 
To fill up the shelves that she tries to keep clean 

Maybe they'll come back someday, she'd say 
Finally rise from the waves 
But these bottles grow... 
They just keep growing. 
They just keep growing. 
They just keep getting dustier and dustier and dustier... 

I've stood here before, at the edge of the world 
Ready to surrender myself to the water 
But then, a fragile hand slipped into mine, looked inside 
And in her eyes, saw despair of a thousand lives 

These belong to just their dreamers 
Their light grows weak, they wait 
For the day that they come take them home 
Don't be impatient, dreamer 
The sea might make you fly 
but these'll take you to stars and beyond

Litter (feat Aleph)

Before I release the "Delusion of Reference" first solo album. I figured I would release some songs that didn't quite make it to the master CD. Here is another outtake.

Never really finished this song so it's sort of half cooked. Like "precooked instant noodles" type of "half cooked".

First Cistern (Uncooked Version)

Here is the last one for the year. It was supposed to be part of the album but the artwork attached to it was so beautiful that it would have been insulting to the artist to leave it connected to this song. So I made a different version which is now (one of my proud favorites) what you'll hear in the album when its released! So yeah technically this one is an outtake. 

HSLU (Outtake)

Been trying to practice my Friano skills so I tried doing a FinalFantasy7 cover of Tifa's Theme (In TheRingmaster style of course). I didn't do the whole thing cos I am not exactly on the Nobuo Uematsu level, it's hard yo! Also, don't ask me to do the Aerith theme, I tried - it is deceptively hard.

Final Frantasy - Tifa's Theme (Downtempo version)

So it's my birthday (March 19) and since I'm pretty much too cheap to treat people, I will instead offer track 0 from my album that will be released this May (Cross fingers).

Tired of fancy throws aimed to break these simple vials
Making oceans for a cause that has been gone for a while
Spared for breaths of the cold
Modest drinks to feel warmer
It is tempting to sail in such holes
A whirlpool for moaners
Waster of days, seizing gold filled homes, watch me walk through fogs of cloned posts
Waster of days, faking gold brick roads, watch me walk through piled routine clothes
I'm better than you
For I make you feel my reasons
For I make you hear my truths
I know I'm known as a liar, consider these notes
For I make you taste my statements
For I make you see my clues
I know I'm known as a liar, consider these notes
I swear I'm better than you

Red on Purple

Long ago, you moved with tears
Bestowed such grace in wasting years
Back then you weren’t so old
Back then you believed in more

So long 
Where did ye go?
So where did it go?
And here, a simple ghost
of sweetest thoughts meant for the cold

Long before you quit your pace
Relieved in crowds, in tongues and taste
You kept the secrets long ago
You kept believing in more

So long 
Where did ye go?
So where did it go?
And here, a broken soul
of sweetest hold left all alone

Where did you go?
You had no limits drinking the spirits of the world
