You captured the duality aspect of your concept really well! awesome

Cool part that comes in here, very interesting evolving sounds!!

Awesome percussion and industrial sounds...High impact appeal...intensely enjoyable...love the poppy melodic synths that roll in XOXOXO

Love the play with opposing melodic/tone themes/feel

good nice and dark ,and on the same time a hopefull feeling

man you are prolific --there's a new crop of tunes every blink of they eye!!  you do this Doom Planet vibe very well!

A song I wrote several months ago and forgot about.  I'm not sure it is worthy.  Let me know if you think I should bury it again.  It is intended t be a soft rock song in the spirit of Chad & Jeremy and Peter & Gordon.

Swinging

Verse 1:
Oh Yes I like to swing
Back and forth up and down
Never done with a frown
Watching the world go by
As you fly so high

Chorus:
Dip down and up like a king
It is the most pleasant thing
In the air as if with a wing

Verse 2:
Oh yes I like to swing
It has that special zing
It brings back childhood
And some times that were of so good
You come down and pump your feet
While watching other people meet

Unused Lyrical Ideas:
Pull your hand back 
The chains never have any slack
Give it some thrust
Sometimes your feet make dust

You can even do it in a gown
Or maybe someone with a crown

Swing

To and From Silver City

Ancillary Sword is the second book in Ann Leckie's trilogy. It has all the froth of "civilised" society (drinking tea from prized tea sets) but with deep undercurrents of enslavement and genocide in its history. 
I've tried to capture some of that duality... perhaps it makes it a bit odd? Anyway, here it is!
The art work is by Lauren Saint-Onge from the cover of a limited edition of the book.

Ancillary Sword

Many years ago, at one point I accidentally noticed the chorus of some of my songs were inter-changeable. From then onwards, I made serious efforts for my songs to sound not so alike. I know I am not a decent singer but as a songwriter, I would be very glad if listeners can differentiate between my songs.

This new entry here is another love song mainly inspired by a drama. The purple rose is the closest song pic I could find as I think the petals do look like lips. Just see what you think.

Thanks for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
Feelings I never showed
Embedded in stories untold
Love sounds we built underground
Too much for this heart to hold

Songs that never rhymed
Revelry that once was mine
Tried so hard to be with each other
Always ran out of time

CHORUS
Time passed quickly by in the blink of eyes
How I missed the purple kisses
You were there, beautiful & rare
Couldn't resist the purple kisses

Out of mind, out of reach, chances ditched but after all these years
You still appear in dreams

Memories of us seemed trite and pressure was never light
Drowned in an overworked affection
My thoughts remained with you

Instrumental

Time passed quickly by in the blink of eyes
How I missed the purple kisses
Longings sealed, passions unfilled
Carried away in the magic of your touch
…..haunted me so much

Repeat Chorus

Purple Kisses

Transfixed Traffic Lyrics

Our narrator slowly dips into a bit of a mental state and basically shuts down. Much like the traffic that isn't moving at all. 

Lyrics;
The tail lights on the freeway
Go on for miles and miles
And it's looking like I'll be here
for quite a long long while

In the middle lane
No place to turn
Home is so far away
I feel a real concern

The traffic on this freeway
Has me trapped me in this car
A claustrophobic feeling
Like a bee caught in a jar

Heavy rain is coming down
The wind is screaming
ominous sounds
And no one's moving
Like a bunch of trees rooted to the ground

It's an atmosphere of madness
My mind has gone off track
On a road of no return
And no way to turn back

Traffic jam goes on and on
I'm locking on to tail light glare
Going catatonic
'Cause I'm not going anywhere

My hands melt to the wheel
My feet become the pedals
The rest of me no longer feels
And I harden into metal

Heavy rain is coming down
The wind is screaming
ominous sounds
And no one's moving
Like a bunch of trees rooted to the ground

And the tail lights on the freeway
Go on for miles and miles
And it's looking like I'll be here
for quite a long long while

TRANSCEND FROM THE TRASH .. SITAR

This track was developed based off a poem written by the same name and the emotiveness evoked from within it. In the semblance of life, there are crackles "spackling" the loveliness of the everyday. 

When we experience things in life, it is always wise to remember all of whom we are, deep within us. When we do this, the easier it is to keep everything else in an appropriate perspective... remembering everyone and everything are simply... energy. We are merely the vessels in which energy is processing through each life cycle in the physical three dimensional world. 

We can get caught up in the man made constructs, verbiage, judgments, etc. and permit them to disrupt the flow of our energy... or we can allow the energy to flow to us, through us, and then... beyond us. We can choose to absorb it, ask it to be returned to the sender, or (as we've chosen to begin as our own practice...) ask it to simply be returned to the earth for transmutation into the growth medium for something lovely, BEautifying, and helpful to the earth and for the potentiality of enrichment for all. We hope you enjoy this piece as much as we enjoyed creating it.

This piece was produced in the 432HZ range so please do not drive or operate machinery while listening to this track... and listen to the track through wireless headphones at a lower volume to receive the optimum effects. As always, we thank you for taking some time for yourself and your self care... with our music.

There are some who treat 
Hearts and minds like their toy
Who think they are subtle or coy 
With their ploys. 

You do not understand 
Things permanently etch into our brain…
Think we don’t remember names
Merely because we didn’t previously entertain.

Make believe your games 
Aren’t totally apparent
But, let me assure you,
What hurts the most is…
You’re ridiculously transparent.

You couldn’t be any more transparent.

What hurts the most is…
You’re ridiculously transparent.

Even Demons Sleep Sometimes... (Chopped & Screwed)

Take Em' To Church (Chopped & Screwed)

I've been on Soundcloud for six years now and it's been great exploring the work of other artists.  There is so much generosity of spirit on this platform, it's just what you need when most of your music is made solo. 

I started out playing classical and Spanish guitar, then took up flamenco to ease myself away from the confines of musical notation. As a result, Latin rhythms often creep into my music. 

A friend introduced me to steel string and electric guitars just a few years ago and I still find the scope they bring dizzying... but what fun!
