The Scald

ZARINE - The Scald (short vers.)

One stratocaster, a little reverb and very few notes

Close Your Eyes - Instrumental

So on this one we have Jim Sanders on the drums, Dave Toolan and Charlie Villiers on guitar, and myself on the bass and singing (it’s Dave you can hear adding some lovely high harmonies here and there as well). I wrote the music and words. As usual it was recorded just with the ipad on a shelf in the corner, hopefully you get the jist.

~Lyrics~
I’ve been running around all day
From London Bridge to Grand Parade
And the one thing that spurs me on
A promised land where I belong

A band of legends in my mind
The most esteemed and much maligned
And I thought I was alone
To think I nearly stayed at home

You were the one with the rueful smile
I was the one who could run a mile
It’s all coming back to me now
Your joie de vie is infectious
So carefree that it’s reckless
Ha, it’s all coming back to me now

Music and dancing, and the joy of laughing
And crashing through the decades as we fell
We took a moment right there on the floor
To marvel at the evening’s carousel

And I know I might only say it when I’m drunk
but it’s true never the less
I love you with all my heart and soul
And there’s only one thing that really breaks my heart
…my biggest regret…
I just wish we saw each other more.

All Coming Back To Me Now

LYRICS

I have never touched you
But you're still here
Our lives are stuck
Words disappear
I have never kissed you
I never will
I see your picture
I Fall asleep

But you still guide me
Between the bars
You say “you are stronger
Than you think you are”

Your words are far away
We fly and fall like rain
My lover, I feel no pain
My lover, I see your name

And I’m so scared
To hear your voice
But I’m prepared
To leave this void
You understand
You see beyond
Why did it take you so long

But you still guide me
Between the bars
You say “you are stronger
Than you think you are”

Your words are far away
We fly and fall like rain
My lover, I feel no pain
My lover, I see your name

Fly and Fall

Sometimes I find myself thinking "I want to be like Yann Tiersen, or Bowie, or Bach", and then I wonder if Bach ever felt the same. "I want to be like Palestrina, or Machaut, or Lully", he may have said.
Now I wonder if, someday, someone will ever want to be like me.

After nearly losing one of my new kittens, Scout, to the deadly parasite Toxoplasma gondii (Toxoplasmosis), which caused some horrifying neurological symptoms, including body twitches, I decided to express my feelings about the experience in song using my new DAW. The song is upbeat because she recovered, and is now parasite free!

Post Card. By Donald Stabler

Ox and goose in a field the agoraphob doxy slump gum mid chaw chating scared senseless as strange appearance appears in points of view, gots a receiver. She blows up the skyline and the vision's caress is captured deep inside. But damn it the clouds are blinders: the Ox sees ultra radiance in upheaval scratches with snatches its contact on eyeballs. The Goose scratches elsewhere. Addiction sponge a quarter the holiday's in France drop a line from Eiffel carry the trifle to cock the rifle. There's drips of whimsy from beyond the ceiling on such a cloudy day. The Ox stays pale rider he stays calm abider. The eats are verdant pig ambrosia clover the weeds move sideways. The Goose noses its pick and lick and lies and squints his bona-fide eye. Up in the sky puppeteer sighs and cries, "These frolicking dummies fooling the tom it's a comedy of stumbles, trip wire's and fumbles as the ass cap swings on an alternate gate!" Feels just right eh. Knock the rock pace the dock up night clock, the Ox Goose and Cock. There's a trio you see in this field of glee. The Ox sleeps his head in the bush of his dullness and Kush his suggestion is so frank. The Goose pokes his snoz into gifts from Clause imagination's priest he's illusive geese. Then the Cock in his rubber frock pickin and eatin eve and eden's cretin. compact bullroar is this it I want more. Could there be four. She crocks that dial and a tear and a smile of surrender hits its gender the collection fosters remembrance. Darkness is a velvet actress mother before time the void sublime. She turns the sun and moon and in a velvet flux she devours and flowers the ever radical frost of time. The Ox, the Goose, the Cock a fleshy flock as the mock appropriation crouches in birthing affirmation.
The post card is cordial prayer someone's there astral fare. Now you see it now you don't the dream is only loant you see.

Who, or should it be said, what is X28 Project? The moniker has changed with the minds of the holding proprietors so many times throughout the years that the meaning is quite obscured. As of now, the mystery is magnified by the control of the ensuing days to which the existence is dependent. Once known as a conduit for progression, while still maintaining that philosophy, the humble resonance now seems to be an afterthought of something under the bored need for an exit. It should be noted that as of now the control prevails mainly within one governing entity. By the determination to construct, since 2006 there has been a steady release of instrumentation designed to combat the silence that once was harbored in the preceding minds. Intentions only to reverberate within one location and within one moment. This was unacceptable to the new direction that was necessary for the formulation of continuous angles of relief. Each outlet created has led to more tears of the consistency of that which is disenchanted. Disinterest seems to be molded in the wasted time. While unconcerned for plenty, there is a compulsion for furthering and augmenting the embrace. Inquiry is challenged day to day, yet it's something overwhelmingly vital. The delight in continuance should be cherished in the face of persistent lethargy. To this extent, the ensemble is present to absolve the anguish that is intimate to reasoning...
