Here is a link to the youtube video for the song! https://youtu.be/sXd5B2iSWck
I looked back at the few notes I collected during this Photo Op's song development time-frame and concluded I did not have much to go on after a two year lapse.  The lyrics were not fully documented in my notebook. I must have been using lyric ideas and ad-libbing them into the song. I do not know my state of mind and wish I was better at capturing this closer to the song's conception point.

Life was still fairly locked down due to Covid, Trump was still in-office and the George Floyd protests were ongoing. The song was created without any direct outside musical influence driving the creative direction. This was me inside my studio starting from ground zero and evolving the song over the course of probably several weekends by playing around with sounds, rhythms and textures until a fuzzy shape of cohesion slowly emerged.

Listening back, I suspect, I smashed together two fairly divergent musical ideas. Bold move Dave and perhaps disastrous from a song gluing perspective. I like it anyway. Lyrics were influenced by what was going on around me and one of those things was a narcissist clutching a bible and clearing a peaceful protest with tear gas to enable his next photo op in front of the church.  A holy moment indeed. 

Lyrics
Photo Op
by David Husted

Dew drop dreams
Silly games
Buy some more stuff
Throw it away
Is it me?
Where did I go?
When we turn our backs
let them take it away.

They say it's gonna rain again
I don’t have an umbrella
They say its time to hate again
Photo ops and killing

Is it really so improbable?
State news and oligarchs selling fools
Make lies a game, and fear predominant 
Shake the base of our democracy

I'm happy to share with you the Zhorhann first single recorded a few months ago in a cave in Toulouse, it's a cover of "La chambre jaune" of M'Z

Now it's available as a single and for listening on all platforms here: https://album.link/frm2bcqqpcjz7
Thank you Luminol Records for distribution and trust
Thank you Hugo Lemercier for the mix

For context:
It's a cover taken from M'Z's prism album, which focuses on concepts, and uses constraint to tell its stories.
The reflection is centered around the notion of Prism.
The goal is to create parallels between colors and musical modes (musical colors), but it is also a pretext to tell a more personal story in parallel.
Another of the driving ideas of this project is that everything is inevitably interpreted, no matter how hard we try to approach a totally objective truth, it will never really be the case.
This project tries to break down every particle, to analyze every atom, but each time it tries to transcribe a message, it will be biased by the translation that its own prisms and analysis filters produce.
Despite his efforts to find an objective point of view, he can only admit that his feelings will systematically influence his decisions and thoughts.
It will be the same for the style, while trying not to approach only one aesthetic and mixing all its influences, he will quickly realize that fusion even with an open mind remains a kind of musical label.
M being the guitar Z the machine, the idea is also to create a bridge between organic and electric/electronic music, a bridge between the code and its acceptance as the need to get out of the code. Released on December 27, 2017 in self production.

This song, specifically, is about the color yellow. It is the reaction of our emotions when we try to deny them and try to bury them very deeply, then they will feel rejected and try again, to capture our attention. So well buried they will manage to communicate with our subconscious that reigns in these places, together with this strange friend, they will then be able to play with our state of consciousness and we will be forced to adopt behaviors that will bring us closer to madness, until until we can finally find a way to better deal with these emotions, hitherto misunderstood, unheard and rejected.

While waiting for the album that we are currently finishing mixing, here is something to listen to...
Can't wait to hear your feedback

Zhorhann - La Chambre Jaune

Lyrics;
He's got some battle scars
From walking on this earth
More or less he'd earned them all
Whatever that is worth

He's not the man he used to be
He stands in thinner skin
Worn down from the grindstone
And the world he once lived in

Experience had left a mark
Lighting up a world so dark
No more running blindly
Full speed ahead

Cut up, bruised and battered
So many dreams get shattered
From foolish things that he once did
Foolish things that he once said

He's got some battle scars
From living day to day
The price of going on his own
When he didn't know the way

On full display for all to see
Like medals from his private wars
The breaks the nicks the broken heart
Yeah, he's got some battle scars

Experience had left a mark
Lighting up a world so dark
No more running blindly
Full speed ahead

Cut up, bruised and battered
So many dreams left shattered
From foolish things he once believed
Foolish things that he once said

Battle Scars

Long Road To Glasgow

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

This is a song Chris wrote and asked me to play on. I love the lyrics and how they match the vibe of the song perfectly. He's playing guitar and bass, and I'm on the piano, slide, and organ. He told me it's supposed to be a whisper beneath the giant's bed as they tiptoe around under him, and that I should leave space for his breaths. I immensely enjoyed making this song with Chris, as always. Here are the lyrics. We hope you enjoy it. Wonderful lullaby, too. I've been listening to it in bed right before I go to sleep. Try it!
I played the piano on this. Chris played the guitar, sang it, and produced it. 

You need to be quiet, 
you don't want to wake, the sleeping giant. 
When you go, tip toe, around his bed so, you don't wake that tyrant. 
(hmmm hmmm hmmm) x 2 
I think it's time now, 
We can change his mind around, 
the stupid giant. 
I'll whisper in his ear, 
we're the only one's he should fear.
There's far too many of us, you don't need to cause a fuss or be defiant.
(instrumental-ish) into trippy part
(hmmm hmmm hmmm) x 1
So when you wake tomorrow,
you'll be filled with sorrow.
You're just a giant.

Sleeping Giant (with cgmaness)

This song is a love story of sorts, a temptress who is luring in this man with her wild ways, getting him to leave his normal mundane life behind and live with her in the forest of blue. In my mind this had a fairy tale feel to it but with a darker element...  The music I feel works great with the piano and strings, giving it a great atmosphere and really fits in well with the storyline
