THEN YOU APPEAR

Firefly Song

This is a song that comes deeply from my heart. Morten, the wonderfully skilled and talented producer, had prepared an instrumental version of this track some time ago, and I revisited it a couple of months after I had lost my dearest furry bestie, Lumi cat. 

I miss her every single day, and after hearing this track again I started to pour my heart into lyrics and vocals, whilst thinking about Lumi. On the day we lost Lumi, we went for a walk and had a (half a) pint of Guinness outside a pub. When I raised my glass for Lumi, I looked up and saw a shooting star. It felt comforting, as if she was flying free and comfortable with the stars.

Some connections, whether humans or animals, touch our heart in a profound way and when their time is up as Earthlings, they leave a huge void when they are not physically here anymore. I have to keep reminding myself to think what a happy life Lumi had, and how privileged I was to have her in my life. Her first family gave her up when she was 10 years old and she got to very nearly 18 years of age, so we shared around 8 years with this wonderfully sweet character that Lumi was. She used to love listening to me sing (thank you for the encouragement!) and often joined in. I know she would have loved this song and been in her happy trance with a drop of happiness on the tip of her nose (this was an obvious sign of her happiness and she had the droplet on her nose very often ❤️😻).    

I wish you comfort if you are experiencing a grieving process. Time does its bit for the healing too. 🙏 And thank you for listening.

Pull out my pistol 
Point it at the moon
Curse everything around me 
Curse the moon too

Imagine where we’d be right now if
Nothing never changed
Worry about things getting worse
Well, how ‘bout if nothing never got better

Nothing I can change
Out of my reach
Eat the fabric my being
Turn me inside out

Imagine where we’d be right now if
Nothing never changed
Worry about things getting worse
Well, how ‘bout if nothing never got better

Juices flowing ’tween my old tired bones
Feeling so much better

Imagine where we’d be right now if
Nothing never changed
Worry about things getting worse
Well, how ‘bout if nothing never got better

Cool mountain air fills my lungs
Blood coursing through my veins
Sweat drops on my brow

Read about it in the paper
Don’t exist no more
Sun on my face, I feel it
So much better now

Care to make a wager
Lay some money down
Money where your mouth is
Lay that hard cash down


Curse At The Moon Too

NIN

Thanks lads
You're still the bar
Trent at 60
Many more years fill stages far
A forever reference in my head
From heavy to light
Lyrical love brain bed
Some friends don't dig your music but love your words
Proper heresy
Transcendence of blur

Keep it together
We want more Hurt
Yeah Cash took it,
But it's always your worth
This is something I can have
I will find that stage
I got Reznor rasp
You gave me growl and finesse
Closer to God within my chest

Ruiner of my negative side
Head was a hole
Ego tamed from pride
A Warm Place
You fill these moments
Like Buckley Grace
I'm music moulded
Into the Void for all our sakes
Lyrical real washes away the fakes

I bite the hand that feeds us lies
I almost Gave Up
But, still Wish for prize
It's you man
You kept me going
You're amazing music
Keeps BD flowing
Never say never
Churned love from rage
Maybe someday we'll share a stage


Music notes
-Drive in frets 0-6 and get 6 power in there

-Drop D to deliver the heavy

-Chromatic chords movements for a Rage Against the Machine like energy


Instrumentation
-Guitar & Bass heavy for main parts of song

-Piano part, maybe a softer ending and or intro to honour that contrast NIN give us so amazingly

-Eerie synth pads especially at the start bringing in a cool wind filled start making it linked to nature / season

-Set tuning to 444Hz and consider Capo on 2 to get that E 333Hz root which can represent harmony with the Suns average frequency. Also consider finding a drone like deep bass sound with octaves lower of this so we should find that at 166.5Hz @ see if 83.25Hz is usable at all

-consider setting up a synth to create a spiral effect with panning and pitch shifting to honour the Downward Spiral

-Use breaking glass effect to honour The Fragile. Maybe make this a positive flip by using a reversed breaking of glass effect making something that's impossible at least possible in sound. That can be a powerful metaphor

- Add a Machine sound of some kind to honour Pretty hate Machine. Tie this machine sound to the reverse effected glass breaking effect and tie that positivity to the hope we keep machines & technology under a better control collectively

- Maybe consider actually saying Nine Inch Nails in a chorus of some kind. They're amazing influence should be clear and celebrated and help transcend the assumption that NIN music is just noise and negative when the complete opposite is actually true

The Cowboy Rides Away

A cry for release. Take Me Away blends gothic sorrow with crushing metal power; a track built on haunting riffs, thunderous drums, and vocals dripping with raw emotion.

This is the sound of despair turned into defiance: a voice rising from the shadows, begging for escape yet roaring with strength. The atmosphere is heavy, cinematic, and tragic, echoing like prayers lost among gravestones.
