Lyrics(I genuinely hope they make your moment better. The fact that this has your senses now is improving mine so thanks a googol) Now they say This is me! To the moment I pray It's my only deity To the moment To the moment But what of tomorrow? What of yesterday's marrow? I figure my past has future answers to borrow! To the moment To the moment 'But now they are answers 'Brought present in solution Taught to ones self, Fear is mind pollution Chemicals in brain not figured, withered It ejects

File Updated 26/04/2025 @ 12:58 GMT - Improved Vox lead line and removed layering of that. Added some more keys and extended with a timing change from 9/8 to 3/4 as an experiment.

File Updated: Removed all vocal layering for now to bring eberything back and hearable. Will add back gradually and get a proper mixed crescendo progression going. Added acoustic guitar and it drills home the unusual amount of half steps in an hungarian minor scale which is what makes it different. Acoustic also serves as a short slow tempo catch the breath at the end File Updated: Vocal now reflects that Marcin is Polish and not from Belgrade but sure I love doing stuff like that (fixing music and

Listen to Jintro & The Great Luna by Moondog Jr. on #SoundCloudhttps://on.soundcloud.com/KWds3LrsRGJ4DPDZ7 Original track there... Cover of the Moondog Jr. song 'Jintro & the Great Luna'. This version of the song was just Stef Kamil Carlens playing himself and it's one of the best songs ever in my opinion. Stef was formerly in the band Deus when they were first writing and then after that formed Moondog (who became Zitaswoon).... Pure Belgian genius like a very long list of artists over there... I

File Update 2: Added cello and viola sections throughout File Update 1: Bass / Piano and more solid vocal delivery in... Its just spinning plates Money really is the route of our evil. In this song I made a nice connection with Earth having never really had anything to do with money. It doesn't give a shit what we do but it will cycle and change to rebalance based on what we do... Money is really the poison of our spirits. Or at least because it's so attached to materialism then way too many of
