File Updated: Vocal completely redone with some adjusted lyrics to sniper them an ickle better. - I think this one may have roared itself to the top of the table for me and my fave moi tunes... Will have to let it simmer and see. Always a strong bias for the current ideas so... This is the third song I've made from my Grandads book of his poetry. The other poems finding the internet as songs are in this playlist. We're up to 5 complete and I have about 35 left. They will all see the future..

File Updated: 16th Feb @ 17:41 GMT Acoustic guitar in lightly mixed Ok so we have just keys and vocal here for Sith to Stop. A bit of clearer sense maybe for the idea. In the pic a 6 month old TBD looks down on both Oligarchy states of this world. Not super powers. Super greedy and insular and well just a dictatorship. Sample 2 shows us what happens an autocratic society like America is now... It's the next Russia... We won't get that far but we definately need a revolution in the US to stop their

🧓🏼Dia agus na Cruinne

2025/02/16

Dia agus na cruinne = God and the Universe in Irish Inspired by my Grandfather, Bill Stapleton. A true genius in many realms of thinking.... Including poetry. Thanks Papa Tuning 432Hz A and Capo 2 For this one I'll choose a golden ratio nugget to project. So, if you notice in the pic of a random bit of wood on my studio desk.... A tree knot of a branch and when a GR curve is offered the edge of the curve meets the annual ring of the tree when centred on the knot... A subtle nature symmetry or

Mist Aligned

The Beautiful Dark ·

2025/02/13

Ok so here's Mist Aligned again without the upbeat extended end and all my split personalities of a choir have disappeared. Normal-ish vox and I've sung the adjusted lyrics in this one. Lyrics Ooooh Ahhhh Digging with soul we are It's the garden of life Fertiliser from strife Ooooh Ahhhh Digging with soul we are Fertiliser from strife... Musics' medium seed sends life The stars aligned Hold on, way too much pine My watched mirror, isn't fine Humans a far, reeled on the line We've been here

File Updated: -Epiphone layers in. Love that guitar so much. So that's a unison of Epiphone and telecastet doing the tremolo scale Words whirl Unfurl new world Good or bad Projections knurl your existences' twirl So make them pray Real words today can ask the same As the old hymns did of that time and day Pray to what? Your spirit has got you banked Let’s fix that energy clot Just ask and pen flows new known plot Absurd turns It burns in reason It’s epiphany season Humanities treason New

The Beautiful Dark ·

2025/02/12

This is a recreation of Where in the World. Previously I have uploaded it to a song by Opus Monik as I wrote the words listening to that. I've decided to poach for now the music from yesterdays TBD tune and release a version of Where in the World which is fully TBD. The other one is drilled in deep for me but I think this still does the original attempt justice as a permanent replacement... Lyrics ♾️It's here and now one moment we mount♾️ Where in the world is peace unfurled Peace from

Note: I purposely cut off or burst in right at the start... For me that represents the big bang that started it all... or coming from a singularity....

Lyrics The strangest people be, Who understands another really? Love The ghosts The quests The crimes Admit it your out of line But their lines are oh so grey to me I suppose the black and white does move to resave The ivories are free And their niche gets tinkling making life less mean More meaning Do be silence! (I always chuckle at this lyric like a true stoner. I managed to get "Do Be" in a serious song 😆) Woo me with silence Killing with Isis lies? An ideal aint worth even one

Covered in sin I let the werewolf in. This strength straddles the world No furthering fools. As your winding your time And fine tuning your chime Who’ll be binding those binds And finding life’s fine. Colour me in Colour your sin A few minutes tamed time Now our fear is thinned

This is one is a little busy on previous uploads so have paired it back to keys, vox and percussion to Mr Miyagi it again Lyrics Hmm, you offer new certainty An intertwined fate laminated by will A little unfree to this physical fiend But I guess where there's silence.... It's soul rules for feed So, we all have a hammer, Just like Thor Where Will is that thunderous power Perpetual proof to all souls who then hear Not the blinkered approach...

I'm not very audibly singing these peoples names for this one. The list was more for me at the time to have something to play with for the vocal line as wanted to also try and keep it mostly just melodic on the voice. But I think I will expand it this way. As an song with lyrics for a list of great minds past and present Galileo Darwin Newton Einstein Dawkins Sagan Tyson Greene Cox Browne
