Upbeat instrumental techno-electronica piece, some might say approaches psychedelic-trance.

Total Immersion

Apparently...I can't describe it either.  Telle est la vie avec la musique!

I Can't Let Go

Reminiscence

Composed, arranged, *performed, engineered, and produced by Troy Mathisen. 

*Vocal performance by Nancy Young.

Lost in a moment...
Seeing myself with you, so lost in your arms.
But then I come around to my senses...
And wonder where we went wrong.

I want to know!
If there's a question whether we should let go,
Or working this out together.

How can we turn back now?
I want it just like before,
I need you right here with me.

How can we turn back now?
Cause I can't take any more.
Tell me you're coming back again.

Both of us know...
It's going to take some time to mend these hearts.
But I believe we'll come to our senses...
Knowing we can't be apart.

I need to know...
We're going to get through this and never let go,
Of all we have together.

How can we turn back now?
I want it just like before.
I need you here with me.

So, how can we turn back now?
Cause I can't take anymore.
Say you'll be coming back to me.

Tell me you know...
There's still a chance for us to let ourselves go,
And make it last forever.

How can we turn back now?
I want just like before.
I need you right here with me.

How can we turn back now?
'Cause I can't take any more,
So won't you tell me, baby!

How can we turn back now?
I want just like before,
When you were always with me.

How can we turn back now?
'Cause I can't take any more.
Tell me you're coming back again!

Troy Mathisen - Mystique

A pop/electronica-style song ... a story about a love affair between and adventurer and a hovercraft.

Words & Music by  Troy Mathisen  &  Shawn T. Floyd

Standing Hampton, she said...
Today you'll face your test at sea.
This christening is but a memory for your love.
Ounces, it's only ounces.
They run into the sea, like I've been running through my dreams.

Read me some Shakespeare, William...
The moon is all the light you'll need.
This moment but a slice of history.
Ounces, so many ounces.
They run into my dreams, just like they run into the sea

...to the sea.

Moving creation, stillness in time.
It's strange how life passes while standing...
Just like all of my dreams.
But out there over the ocean, together, you and I...
My dreams become reality,
So, hover ... stand by!

Hover ... Stand By

Me, a microphone, a Korg M1 Workstation and a cassette deck.
One day ... way back in the fall of 1989.

Lord ... Comfort Me

Music Lover, Listener, and Writer, always looking to create impactive, memorable soundtrack music for those with projects and original soundtrack music needs.
