[original guitar score by @john-byrne-117035719]

When I watched you from a paper cloud,
my paper cloud
was overflown with all the
beauty there could be.

And then it was time
to tumble down, can't turn around,
but every choice I made
made a smaller me.

And when I looked around
my world so small, no world at all
I remembered all the colors
I'd seen from above.

And I decided to enjoy the fall
dive into the rotten dirt
and dig me up some love.

This plane is going down,
but it's the screaming
of the air that awoke us

Good time to take a look around
and find the way to plummet
with an unrelenting focus

Yeah, this plane is going down, down, down
but it's still holding up,
and it ain't down yet.

Great time to use up all that focus
I need to burn my way
down to zero in regret.

[ zero in regre-e-et, e-et ]

So when I take you
by the neck and waist
then spin around,
it's like I'm dancing
with a much braver me.

Let's never plan
to settle down, nor settle for
anything less than everything
there is to do and be.

This plane may be going down
but nothing short of
a mountainside can block us.
It's time to move those feet around
we can dance circles 'round the world
when all we've got is focus.

[ Swing with me.
Take a swing with me.
We'll take a swing at everything there is
to do, and to be.
There's so much to do
and to be... ]

You're invited to my paper cloud—
my paper cloud
makes all possible beauty plain to see.

This plane's still going down,
it's going down, it's going down,
but it ain't down yet.
There's always time to
work our way down to
zero in regret.

We will watch the world
grow bigger in our eyes.
We will burn every last drop of fuel
on nothing will suffice.

Support John

Zero In Regret

Black Friday
BPM: 114

This instrumental is based on the sound of multiple tracks of Strats, synths  and electric bass.
It sounds a lot like a song of the eighties for the keyboards chords and the palm muted guitar parts.
The drums are programmed and they are based on the Downbeat Kit available for AKAI MPC here https://www.mpc-samples.com/product.php/291/the-downbeat-kit/. The drums are based on round robin samples which give to the patterns a natural feel.

The instrumental is available for sale on beatstars.com\gamandello or you can enjoy the full track on:

The track has been recorded, mixed and mastered on AKAI MPC Live and software.

Joy To Live

I've got seven bottles of water.
Two more to piss in.
I'd like to get things sorted.
But I don't know where to begin.
I'm glad I tore myself apart.
I didn't know which way to start.
What was begun?
I'll know that answer when I'm done.

My brothers are little rich kids.
My sister is the same.
While I'm stealing firelighters.
Living just to clear my name.
I've just one question before we start.
Should I be taking this to heart?
What's mine is mine?
I'll find out somewhere down the line.

My friends are going crazy.
Chase American dreams.
And I would join their party,
But I don't know what that means.
The 'truth' is nonsense, it would seem.
They're living someone else's dream.
Sit worlds apart.
I should have realised from the start.

I'm starting now to see.
(You) Don't create a thing for me.
Seem half destroyed by infamy.
Consider this, my litany.
Sulphides will rot away your heart.
I took a look back to the start.
No chosen one.
Your shadows blocking out my sun.

What's done is done.

Sometimes, I really feel.
Like no one can beat me.
But then I go and lose again,
You know the outcome by the end 
You know it just don't bother me.
I'm used to losing it would seem.
A sacred art.
That I've been learning from the start.

Six, E, Q, U, J, Five, Wow!
It isn't fucking aliens.
Get back down to earth now. 
There is no value to your art.
You should of known this from the start.
You're not divine.
Despite the memories in your mind.

Apeman, spaceman, later than creation.
Homebird, prison, from whence has arisen?
Lord, will you still my beating heart?
I should of known it from the start.
What's done is done.
They never said you were the one.

What's done is done.
What's done is done.

What's Done is Done

Look at you, in the corner feeling blue.
Will the spotlight decay or preserve.
Look at you, in your fancy little shoes.
Can you maintain this speed.
And your nerve?

You want peace?
There are many poles they grease.
Is there light on the top of the world?
Go to war?
You're left wondering what its for.
Oh, its dark when you sink to the earth.

The faintest light.
Reaches from the stars.
Fight or flight.
It's all that you are.

You're so cool.
Always tryna bend the rules.
With your cans in a bag someone left.
Life and soul.
Until one day you are just old.
And it isn't fucking funny anymore. 

You want relief?
You'd be better off asleep.
Is there light on the top of the world?
You want more?
Do you wonder what it's for?
Oh, its dark when you sink to the earth.

the faintest light.
Is 
all you need.
put down the drink.
And go and seek.

Your so meek.
You just turn the other cheek.
Is there light on the top of the world?
The chances missed.
Because you always turn up pissed.
Oh, it's dark when you sink to the earth.

The faintest light.
Reaches from the stars.
Fight or flight.
It's all that you are.

Shorter Days Ahead

angezählt

ich bin noch nie so 
tief gefallen,
wie an diesem 
sommertag.
ich bin noch nie so 
tief gefallen,
wie an diesem 
sommertag.

immer so tranqui und slow,
immer so fidelity low,
immer so far out auf coke.

eines tages ist leider schon vorbei.

ich hab den tag erwartet,
und bin schon durchgestartet,

kein auge zu all night,
am morgen viel zu breit,
leider keinen aufzug nehmen,
um in diesem leben aufzustehen,
gefühle kommen und gehen,
sonne versucht aufzugehen.

doch dieser schwere sky
ist trüb wie pferdeteich

immer so tranqui und slow
immer so fidelity low
immer so far out auf coke

ich bin noch nie so 
tief gefallen
wie an diesem 
sommertag
ich bin noch nie so 
tief gefallen
und das leben geht vorbei

ich bin noch nie so 
tief gefallen
wie an diesem 
sommertag
ich bin noch nie so 
tief gefallen
und das leben geht vorbei

alles ist anders als sonst

alles ist schlimmer als sonst

alles tut mehr weh als sonst

alles ist weiter weg als sonst

ich hab gedacht, dass muss wohl so
doch in der nacht brenn ich wie 
bus voll stroh

alles ist anders als sonst

alles ist schlimmer als sonst

alles tut mehr weh als sonst

immer so fidelity low
immer so far out auf coke

ich bin noch nie so 
tief gefallen
wie an diesem 
sommertag
ich bin noch nie so 
tief gefallen
und das leben geht vorbei.

ich bin noch nie so 
tief gefallen
wie an diesem 
sommertag
ich bin noch nie so 
tief gefallen
und das leben geht vorbei.

ich bin noch nie so 
tief gefallen
wie an diesem 
sommertag
ich bin noch nie so 
tief gefallen
und das leben geht vorbei.
