Ain't Gonna Hurry Chill Pickle is a song about choosing to enjoy life rather than run in the rat race. Based on a true story. Get your chill on and enjoy!

Man said you better hurry up
He said, “it won’t last long!”
I laughed right off the top of my head
I didn’t care if he was right or wrong

Ima slow down
Take my time
Ain’t gonna be in no hurry
I’ll watch those clouds roll by and pretend
I ain’t got no worries

I don’t care how fast the world goes by
Or how fast time wants to fly
All we have is right here right now
Don’t want to let it slip by

Ima stroll down
Paddle out 
And cruise a few little peelers
I’ll let you run back in 
To that fast track
And all those wheeler dealers

Why you wanna run in a race for rats
Don’t make sense to me
Run yourself right of the edge
Then where will you be?
Runnin faster
Goin nowhere
Even faster than before
This crazy world made by men, crazy men
will never stop asking for more

I look up and the sky is blue
And the waves look clean
You know those life choices
Aint as complicated as we make it seem

To surf or not to surf
That is the question
To be noble in your surfer mind
And shirk all your responsibilities 
And go down into the ocean
And feel alive

So yeah Im gonna take my time
And just chill right here
And when I get done chillin out
Gonna have me an ice cold beer

In spite of all our best efforts
The world’s capricious and its fickle
All the more reason to hang out
And spark up a big chill pickle
And we can act like we just don’t have a care
And feel the wind blow back our hair
Even if its just for a while
And smile

Hey   They Are Coming

Electro Pulse

Bear in mind that this is fictional as well as firmly autobiographical all at the same time.  Because that's the way with human experience - we make up a story that we tell ourselves until we believe it.

There was some inadvertent manipulation by the educational system which was real, but I was also guilty as hell of being stubborn about individuality and also a pretty hardcore video game addict right back to the Atari 2600 and this extended into online addiction in the 90's before they had a name for it even.

So people that I may have felt were less than helpful, also rolled out the red carpet for me more than once -- just on terms I refused to swallow.

So mainly this is an anti-bureaucratic piece.  The footsoldiers in the faculties doing the teaching, and my fellow classmates both have my sincere sympathies.  A distinction has to be drawn between making music just to get the ick out of my system and what I truly think upon more sober reflection.

Also: well aware this kind of whines like "Allentown" re: 'vote with your feet dummy'

Lyrics:

When the H.R. folks say that i irrationally resent
But then the merit raise was two percent
Then let's review the course of the gradual descent
That got all of us where we are now

At the start they said well then, we'll skip you one grade
But hem you in by constraints that we already made
You'd be better adjusted if you only had stayed
Where conformity's all we allow


As I traversed past grade school to the stuff above
The real shock came when, push came to shove
There came things I didn't particularly love
Like rejection from the occasional cow

I escaped from that scene seeking resolution
But the worst place to do it was an institution 
Playing redistributive games
I pushed my way through it
Though my hope was diminished
If no other result, well I proved I could finish
But they were bitter returns all the same

Getting out in the world from the ivory tower
I found that things out there were not much less sour
The retail grind at five eighty five an hour
Doesn't cause you to climb to much fame

I needed the time, to heal, to mend
But the length that it took seemed to really depend
On chewing through this or that online crutch
And that seemed to drag on for far too much

Advancement comes slow when your job doesn't match
The inclinations which are your true path
When suppression has become the order of the day
A lot of time gets burned away

And then came a shift in the mood of the nation
Making it tougher to alter your station
Where even if striven with all your might
They'd just have said, can't promote the budget's too tight
If you were lucky they'd come at you with euphemisms
If not they'd tell you the stark reality 
That you just don't fit intersectionality

I only seemed lazy because in this domain
The only way to stay remotely sane
Was to ignore that they ignored me
While dreaming of where I really should be
Pointing out that my worth's in arrears
Perennially falls on deaf ears

If they get an abrupt shock one morning
Well, they've only had forty-five years of warning
Playing games with people's lives 
Is bound to end in a nasty surprise


I only seemed lazy because I missed the basic rule
Not to wait for someone else's say 
And so I no longer play the fool
As I breach the walls of the cage
And take control of my own way

And so folks then herein lies the rub
Just like don't wait for a corpo to cook your grub
Don't wait for prefab lesson plans
Take destiny back into your hands

Kryder - Fade Till Sunrise (Amok Sun Remix)

Sara told me "You can't go this way. It's too easy.
I love you too much to see you burn up until you'll be dust"

And who am I to be loved this way, oh, nowadays.
I'm just a guy, with no future. This is my way.

Sara told me "Man up baby. You are thirty.
It's time to build a life that's good for us honey"

And who am I to be loved this way, oh, nowadays.
I'm just a guy, with no future. This is my way.

Back on his HIFI/LOFI home base, Franz Matthews continues his habit of turning up in
unexpected sonic spaces. Night Tales finds him delving into a more introspective, deep, and
melancholic palette, while preserving the organic warmth and groove-driven energy that define his
ever-evolving sound.

The EP’s opening tale, Again, takes us on a melancholic night ride through the ever-repeating ups
and downs of life, where darkness and light follow one another in an endless cycle - soundtracked
by an orchestra of lush synths, soft rhodes melodies, dreamy guitars, and Franz’s delicately
crafted vocals.

Howling at the Moon dives deeper into the night, driven by hypnotic percussion, dark synth
stabs, and haunting vocals that summon a sense of collective trance. The track builds toward a
wordless vocal chant that feels both human and otherworldly, unfolding into a swaying, almost
tango-esque groove where rhythms subtly intertwine.

Closing the EP, You & I stands apart — restored from a nine-year-old lost writing session, this
nostalgic yet hopeful electronic pop track felt right at home within the EP, where its warm house
textures and Lights Out’s delicate, heartfelt vocals wrap up these Night Tales with a timeless sense
of longing and connection.
