DateMonthYear album number five
‘Untitled’
Welcome to the review copy of DateMonthYear’s fifth album! This collection we have decided to self-title, as it is very much a summary statement of the last five years of our work. It's a distinctive musical construction, made by unique individuals under very interesting circumstances.                           
     The team: Emma Korez( vocals), Brooke Baker ( Guitar, keyboards, vocals), Tyler Leet (guitar) , Hayley Schwass (bass) with percussionist Trevor Faville on production duties and the highly skilled Scott Newth for engineering and mixing. Mastering was done by Chris Chetland at Kog.
   The venue: Hamilton’s top recording studio ‘The Porch”. 
   The songs: They  cover a wide sonic and dynamic range, the acoustic menace of ‘Numbers’ through the straight up rock of ‘Flowers’ and onwards to the epic rock of ‘March’ and finishing with the epic sonic adventures of ‘South’.It is quite an intense album, and all the songs were written to go together in this way.
 The lyrics:DateMonthYear puts much stock in lyrical content, and the songs in this album are dense, complicated stories; try some of these examples- ands listen for them as you go through.
 Numbers: “when you're dancing with Machiavelli's ghost”
. Flowers: “and we/ were raised/ to be/ the Flowers of an empire’”
July ‘“the paper princess with a dirty crown” 
Exodus “ we signed/ the fine line/ on the terms of your surrender” 
Speed “wasted tropes and castaways, throwing sand into machinery” 
Jupiter' “If I'd never met you/ I never would have fucked you up” 
August “you /and I/ will drag each other under”
 Icarus “ wherever you go, I’m following/ as high as you are/gravity always brings you down”
March “Wrote a letter to God/ about nothing personal/ and if it's nothing personal/ then it's nothing at all” 
South “Awake/ it’s finally over/ what were we thinking of” 

The summary: DateMonthYear music  is cinematic story-telling with many levels of understanding, created with an independent artistic and marketing methodology. We hope you find something of value in it!

A straightforward rocker by Jimmy Rivas and myself.
I sent Jimmy a demo of the backing track and asked if he wanted to write lyrics and add his voice, I received back this amazing vocal.
A big thanks to Jimmy for collaborating, taking the song to another level.

When we started this collaboration, like everyone on this planet, we were hit by the pandemic and the effects on our lives.  Earth stopped for a moment and we could feel her heartbeat ...and with it the will to overcome anything!

Lorsque nous avons commencé cette collaboration, comme tout le monde sur cette planète, on a été frappé par la pandémie est tout ce que ça a changé dans nos vies. La Terre s'est arrêtée pendant un moment et on pouvait ressentir son battement de coeur....et avec lui la volonté de tout surmonter!

So.... finally.... this is it. Andrew Huang's #3. I never thought that i will be able to finish it...... The process for this one is really best to be described as "from HATE to epic FATE".

Number three even destroyed once more the way of how i "usually" and "naturally" proceed with things and do them, when it comes to creating and assembling musical structures. Especially, when there is a "vision" in adding vocals, or even go for a vocal track. I realized, that i did it not exactly, as shown and to be the applied method for this one, as presented in the course. Classic songwriting process from A - Z. Damn you!!!

As the timeline came closer and closer..... i found myself struggling so hard, but still was able , they kinda encouraged us to deliver whatever is ready at that point, to drop a final structure with all the basic core elements as raw as any "diamond" could be, mined deep under the surface in dark caverns....

Then the real struggle began. Course was over, but not this unfinished piece and my natural extremism, which did not allow me to leave it just as it is. At a certain progress you decide - trash it or do it for the sake of learning and finish that damn project! Then i recalled (hehe), and remembered a quote Andrew dropped at a certain stage in the course, which says like "to do something you like, you have to do alot of stuff you dont like".

Keeping this in mind, i took a short break to relax myself and get rid of the pressure -> course over, deadline ended anyway , so why go mad bro? Then the thing developed. I found myself being able to go more and more in the direction i imagined and went down to the rabbit-hole-like tunnel, dug up some more diamonds, back onto the surface, and then processing and grinding and shaping, until they meet the quality you want to have in your jewelry. 

No detailed numbers this time but again, big cred to my fiance for being so supportive and sustaining my sanity, while i still went full psycho mode on this one - but i had to, like for me, personally, this finished song number three is the overall end of this course and the way i shape msyself into music making and trying to make it as entertaining as possible. 

Money is not what I'm after, as this is my hobby, my other love in life, and even if you just don't like stuff sometimes , yet you love it deeply and it deserves that you seriously take care of it....... so here it is... i hope it is a good listen to you - enjoy this little space drama! ;o

Thank you all for tuning in and valuing what i do - again, this community is just so awesome. You all are! <3

Intro:
I, didn't see it coming....
I, didn't see you running....

Verse:
You sneaked out of mission control
smoke and fire everywhere
no hesitation, to abandon us all
smell of searing flesh and hair

verse:
believed we will survive this together
dreamed our kingdom will last forever
now hunting you across the galaxy
with the last broken pieces left of me

chorus:
unpredicted, came this downfall
i recall
heavy wounded, but still i crawl
i recall, i recall
your betrayal, i don't want to recall
recall, recall
was to blind to see it all
i recall

verse:
memories now, coming and fading
my screams, they're all in vain
bombs are flying, troops invading
what's left is only pain

verse:
far across, your ships air-frame
gonna end now your last run
fooled me with your vicious game
aiming, and pull the trigger of my gun

Solo

Chorus:
unforeseen, it is now our end
i recall, i recall
closer and closer, ready to ascend
i recall, i recall
visions of our younger selves appear
i recall i recall
a final thought, a bittersweet tear
my last recall

Waiting for your Sunshine / Standing in the Moonlight / Cecilia, Paploviante & Lillithe

This is the story of my first “eclipse”, experienced alone in the wilderness of Oregon in August, 2017. It’s a long story, but the story behind this song.

I drove to Oregon alone to see the great American total solar eclipse of 2017. In Oregon, there is a famous national park called Crater Lake.  This is the deepest lake in America.   In the middle of Crater Lake is Wizard Island. This lake was formed when a huge volcano blew its top a long time ago.  My plan was to see Wizard Island, get a hotel room, and see the eclipse the next day.

There have been numerous stories of strange occurrences around this area from multiple people over the course of centuries.

The time was around 7 pm when driving up Crater Lake Mountain to see Wizard Island… I wasn’t sure where I was going, or how to get down from the mountain. Finally, I saw Wizard Island just as the sun started to set. I remember there was this misty haze in front of the Island. I could barely see it. I got the chills and a weird feeling... It was very eerie.

I tried to find my way down from the mountain in my car, but it was too late, I was lost, and it was too dangerous. There are areas where you can drive off a ledge and fall a long way. No fun. I had to pull over in the wilderness and spend the night in my car…

Hours passed, and I fell asleep.

What happened next is the strangest thing I’ve experienced in my life. I woke up, it was still night. My phone wasn’t working, my car wouldn’t start or turn on any lights. I didn’t know what time it was. It was disturbing to me they were both "dead", and I was panicked. Then I noticed the area around my car was alternating in brightness, like truck lights... But that wasn't it. I got out of my car to check it out.

But the sky was weird. The moon was weird. It was all weird. The moon was alternating between being clearly visible… And being pitch black. Like it was “blinking”. It would take 5 seconds to get black, then about 5 seconds to get bright again. The stars were barely visible. I stared in disbelief for maybe 30 seconds, it kept happening.  The air around me had a feeling of electric charge to it.   I started hearing a lot more animals, and they seemed to surround me. They were in the bushes and trees, everywhere. It got more troubling quickly when I could discern soft human voices. I couldn't see animals or people. 
I wasn't on any drugs, I was saving my drugs for the following day and the journey home.

Time seemed too slow. I backed up to my car, got in, and locked the doors. I remember a feeling of utter disbelief in my senses. Without any idea what to do, I climbed in the backseat and lied down. I thought any second I could die.

The next thing I remembered, I woke up. It was about 6:30 am. My car worked. My phone worked. And this was the morning of August 21st, 2017… The first day of the total solar eclipse which many of us would see later that day.  

But what I saw was something else.

Something very weird happened to me up there on that mountain that night, and it’s haunted me. I know several people will think "Manufactured lies!" Several others will think "Cool story bro...", well think what you want...

Later that morning when getting breakfast, still shook-up, I asked 2 waitresses if they heard of anything strange last night around Crater Lake. One said "no", the other said, "There's always something strange happening".

I remember one time a girl asked me why my music is so dark...
I’ve seen some sights.

Try to check out Crater Lake, Oregon, if you've never seen it.
Don't get lost.

SPREAD YOUR WINGS

I’ll give you a minute
Then maybe an hour
But I don’t like the look of you
Or your ivory tower
Are you a candidate?
You don’t smell of the street
The pavement don’t suit you
Trips up your feet

Spread your wings
If you don’t like the darkness
Spread your wings
And you’re afraid of the lights
You’re not safe in your nest
Take the plunge
It won’t hurt for long
Spread your wings

There’s rain in the forecast
There’s time in your eyes
Flags in the furlough
Waived by the wise
The church door was open
Granite and still
The boys went in
And the pigeon came out

I'll give you a minute
It won't hurt for long, oh no
I'll give you a minute

Spread your wings
If you don’t like the darkness
Spread your wings
And you’re afraid of the lights
You’re not safe in your nest
Take the plunge
It won’t hurt for long
Spread your wings

I’ll give you a minute
I’ll give you a minute
I’ll give you a minute
The pavement don’t suit you
The pavement don’t suit you
The pavement don’t suit you

Angst Dawning

My humble tribute to Rick Wakeman-

I’m lying on my back
As I watch the clouds
I’m turning down the noise
Because it’s much too loud
It’s easy to get distracted 
From what is real
It’s easy to get confused
About the way you feel
Sometimes you have to
Just slow things down
And remember the joy 
You once found
Sometimes you have to
Just slow things down
And remember the joy 
You once found

I'm Bad

Pawns

The jellyfish it fastens tight
On the Fire-witch’s throat tonight
Dragon feathers hide the fire
The sound of trumpets rising higher 

With tentacles and tusks they grapple 
And wretched voices crow and cackle 
Familiar wraiths achieve desire
The sound of trumpets rising higher

All the secret worlds hermetic 
Lend themselves to your cash in
Administer your anesthetic
Your other hand pulls out the pin 

They’ll say you were Illuminati
The order of the golden dawn 
You think you’re climbing up a mountain 
You’re just the game in all the pawns

The weapons on display they gleam
Exploding weeds wreck all machines 
Chaos is a frequent flyer
The stench of filth is rising higher

All that’s sacred is debased
All that’s known will be erased
Eternally you feed the fire
The stench of battle rising higher

All the secrets esoteric
Passed on down from kin to kin 
Turning into some barbaric
Kind of thing you have to win

You think there are Illuminati
The order of the golden dawn 
You think you’re climbing up a mountain 
You’re just the game in all the pawns

Weapons wound and necks are breaking 
As our family expires
These are the myths that you are making
The sound of trumpets rising higher.
