TimeLines (TrueString)

This is my second collaboration with @cerulean_ascent ... the other one being his response to my open collab last month. Similar to our last collaboration he kind of deconstructed parts of my original stems and put them back together in a new way. The final product contains melodic and drum elements from both of us, I think it results in a really cool fusion of our styles!

Off the rails
get off the rails
you'll find much different beauty, you'll see
don't be afraid to be alone
don't be afraid to go on your own
believe me you don't need your phone
no, you need to get lost
and to get out of the frost
can you imagine a second
the world differently
can you take a decision
without someone to agree
look differently
try sometimes differently
can you be brave enough
to stand up by yourself
can you be coureagous enough
to choose for yourself
despite what may happen
follow the flowers
follow the smell
that attracts you
whatever happen
remember
you are the one
you are alone

Wonder If'N  God/ Likes Country Music

Here is another song from my revival project.  
Looking back, however, I have no clues why I wrote these bleak songs.  Perhaps it was easier to express in some ways. Anyway, I think music-wise it's still worth a listen.  Just tell me what you think.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
Moonlight's wavering in the lake
It's kind of shaky
The ending's just too hard to take…….reality
Favorite songs (are) slowly fading
Feelings of others I can't earn
Who will ask with deep concern ?

Waiting for someone to call my name
I'm kind of lonely
But I'm dead to all sense of shame
Who will care for me ?
The pain that I can withstand
Who will lend me a helping hand ?
A stranger from distant land ?

(Chorus)
I can't afford to cry, it's a long ride
Streets reeled before my eyes
Hopes are abandoned
My future, fate will decide
There's the way to success
Love and happiness
Where everyone's about to be
With the small exception of me
 
Windows are rattling in the wind
My heart is screaming
Somehow I will have to give in
Better go on dreaming
Morning mist blurred the view
The truth I do not wish to know
I'm a clown in a circus show

** Repeat Chorus ***

Small Exception

Gurdjieff believed that most humans live their lives in a state of "waking sleep," in which they are largely unaware of their true nature and potential. He taught that through self-observation and conscious effort, individuals could awaken to their higher selves and gain access to a deeper understanding of the universe and their place in it.

One aspect of Gurdjieff's work that relates to the idea that the world as a simulation is his concept of "objective reality." He taught that most people are trapped in their subjective reality, which is distorted by their conditioning and beliefs. Objective reality, in contrast, is a more accurate perception of the world as it actually is, free from the distortions of individual perspective.

In this sense, Gurdjieff's work could be seen as a way of "hacking" the simulation of reality, by breaking through the illusions of subjective experience and accessing a more objective and truthful understanding of the world.

The Waking Sleep

My take on this lovely open collab from Laar.

This a song for all the young Irish Guys and Girls who have had to emigrate to Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, Canada and the Sahara Desert, I know how you feel just wanting to back in Ireland in the Cold & The Rain. ha ha
