Wow!  Thats ambitious in scale structure and sound.  Outstanding work. I think it might be your best yet!

Incredible prog creation, I love all the eccentric changes throughout, stellar work with this!

some really good guitar parts and I like the almost constant faint "tiktoking" in the background but the best part is the mix and tome of the voices

Blown away..this is an experience. Amazing style you have, running sideways through this..beautiful! Outstanding track!

Awesome and nuts,as I’ve come to expect.

This is about how life is constantly presenting challenges. We must learn from each incident/experience and use that learning to try and be more resilient and be able to move forward. 
I wrote it on my 3/4 size Hofner classical guitar. It’s first song! I used open G tuning after being encouraged to try it by Mark Spruce (Original Spruce - great songs- give them a listen!). Thanks Mark! 
Hope you enjoy it. Best with headphones! 
Take care

Lyrics 
My Uncertain Steps 

As a boy, I was scared of the sea
With my family, on a beach in Normandy, 
a French boy told me the ghosts of drowned sailors grab your legs and dragged you down
I wouldn’t go in! 
Too naive and trusting! 

As a teen, I was all over the place! 
Always confused, just didn’t know which way to face
Too many temptations, suggestions and thrills, distracting and wild
Couldn’t think straight 
Couldn’t concentrate! 

It was always their demands and directions 
Had to meet their dreams and expectations 

My uncertain steps
No confidence 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps 
At my own pace
(My way) 

My wreckage of a life, with this chaotic love
Constant demands, you can never do enough 
Mix in the bullies, the twisters and those egos too
It pulls you apart
Breaks your heart 

I’m seasoned, I now know this path
One crisis avoided, another starts 

My uncertain steps
More experienced 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps
At my own pace 
(My way) 

And now I expect to see the worst
In everyone and everything I know
Just know how it is, but feel I can somehow 
see it through

(outro) 
I’ve got friends (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve lived and learnt (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve got you (for my uncertain steps) 
I’ll get through this (my uncertain steps)

Wild Colorado

Shirley Temple Cover🍭

I’ve thrown away my toys
Even my drum and train
I wanna make some noise
With real live aeroplanes
Some day I’m gonna fly
I’ll be a pilot too

And when I do, how would you like to be my crew?
On the good ship lollipop
It’s a sweet trip to a candy shop where bonbons play on the sunny beach of peppermint bay
Lemonade stands everywhere
Cracker Jack bands fill the air
And there you are are …happy-landing on a chocolate bar
See the sugar bowl do the tootsie roll * …eat the big bad devils food cake
If you eat too much yer gonna get a tummy ache

On the good ship lollipop….
In to bed you hop
And dream away
On the hood ship lollipop
It’s a sweet trip…..

Ghost Ship

the meaning behind all words of powerful: it's how the complication in the world in a certain type of discrimination being judged who we are and personalities don't have right freedom to speak and injustice with equal right

A soirée for the Sphinx who really makes you think

Dark forest circling
shadows approaching
This papers all I need 
Madness, in focus
3rd eye is opening 
Friends seem like strangers
Time has gone missing 
..sink down in the tall grass 

The sky has turned to glass
Shards of reflection 
I’m frozen to the grass
Purpose, intention 
This papers all I need 
Instant confusion 
Twisted reality 
Sink down in the tall grass..


I wish it was different 
I wish I had opinions 
I wish I could remember 
Times of ancient spender 
I am only breathing for you now 
When will times get brighter 
When will bricks get lighter 
When can I stop breathing 
When will you deceive me
I am only breathing for you now

In this tŵisted reality (I’m) only breathïng

Longing (Remix)

Gargyzaa is a one-man band located in Finland. I play all the instruments (guitars, keys, bass, didgeridoo, toy moog, found objects etc.) no proper DAWs used (only Zoom R24). I  also "sing" all the vocals plus recite all the eccentric poetry and deliver those odd pseudo theatrical dialogues etc. (all the lyrics are written by me: some in Finnish and some in English, but in patois French, nonstandard Italian, "invented" Dada jive talk and in glossolaliac gibberish as well). The rhythm tracks are made from simple loops, all the rest is manually played.
Never been a proper musician (self taught "savant" i am) and have never played in any band . 
The cover art/design is just basically a few collages I made and a couple of random photos I took.
Totally a non-profit project, a delightful way to expand my own mind and learn more. Hopefully this music will make people laugh, perplex, stimulate them or cause the listeners to freak out in a positive way or to experience odd synchronicities and even see a few distorted visions here and there.
To fully experience the bizarre soundscapes of my music it is advisable to use the headphones with rather loud volume.
