before I disappear
I form a fossil shaped by fear
fresh thoughts have gone up dry
yet old habits still multiply
my waking life is said and done
I'm just this script I have become
no good solution can be found
let's burn this whole thing…
Collaboration that I did with Beatwavecr. He composed the music, and I had done the vocals/lyrics. (September 2018 -- I fine-tuned the vocals and levels just slightly, but am trying to resist any further bouts of OCD.)
Lyrics :
[verse 1…
Lyrics :
I respect your ambitions
but only plumbers have pipe dreams
Stick with your inhibitions
And cast your hopes away
Leave matters of tomorrow
to the tide of the big sea
It shapes at its volition
And molds your fate as clay
Even the cosmos needs system maintenance. When its IT department decides to delete something, sometimes that something doesn't want to go without a fight. Even computer viruses will do what they can to avoid the reaping hand of a virus checker…
When magic and technology cross paths, all heck will break loose.
Lyrics
I can't help believing
that this course she can't stop weaving
a part of her deceiving
herself that this is right
She focuses fate
her intentions transferred…
Aliens thought they knew the best means to attack us, but their intelligence was a little dated.
Lyrics :
another forgotten signal
TV tuned to UHF
dead air an abandoned station
snowy light red screen of death
green men plotting conquest…
I like here how certain elements of the track seem to weave in and out of sync with the main tempo of the song. It gives the track this precarious balance, like somebody standing still while riding on a unicycle.
Another track from Deranged Lunaticks - this one actually ended up getting recorded first back in the early "oughts" It's been dusted off and spruced-up.
Comments on AMUC's stuff
Sparse instrumentation. Really good vocals. I like how you say alot with few words. Really Good stuff!
Love the album! Good job!
Cool groove, melodic and strange too. Nice job!
It's a me Mario!
cool stuff
Very cool song.
This Cloud Operation has been isolated by a network technician as being antithetical to the needs of the Cloud Services team.
Like the interplay between the instruments. Nice variety, cool tune.
Like it! Very short.
Great vocals, imaginative, progressive and listenable song. Love it!
You voice reminds me of ELP. Very nice tunes.
Hugely inventive album - love the dark flavours, storytelling and folky overtones!
Love the urgency.
Oh this is wonderful..! Sounds like churchbells at sunrise.
Fabulously inventive!
I really like the melody on this track. Good work!
Really like the synth in this one. Everything is layered and build up really nicely.
Short but sweet. Love your vocals on this track.
The change at the 1:10 mark is excellent.
nice work

The production is really solid on this. I like how you can hear all the different instruments clearly in the mix.
One can tell you were really in the moment when you did this one. It's very serene.
I like the vocals on this one -- I like the vocals transition between the louder parts and the more mellow sections.
I'm liking this - the synthesizers drew me in. The vocals remind me a little bit of Roine Stolt from the Flower Kings.
This one just brings a smile to my face, which isn't an easy accomplishment. I love the lyrics.
The production is off the charts. It's like needle pin drop clear. I'm impressed you were able to do this in a single month.
I like here how certain elements of the track seem to weave in and out of sync with the main tempo of the song. It gives the track this precarious balance, like somebody standing still while riding on a unicycle.
I like the melodic progressions of this. The colorful 'Arpy' synthesizers have an Ed Van Fleet feel to them.
This is beautiful. The production is absolutely flawless. It kind of has a David Arkenstone sort of vibe to it.
I like this. Very 80s. I'm hearing Wall of Voodoo and the Cars influences.
Top-notch playing. I'm impressed. (I wish I could play half as good as that.)
Intriguing voice -- kind of sounds like if Prince was jamming with the Black Crowes.
Nice!! I remember finishing this game when I had the Chicken Pox and was out of school for a full week. It has a great soundtrack.
I love that playful synthesizer you use on this (the lower one). This track has a nice groove to it.
I like the quirkiness of this one -- it reminds me a little bit of Dead Or Alive from the 80s.
I like the overall groove of this song -- I like how it builds up out of the minimalist vocals on the previous track. You have a pretty good voice.
Wow - very tight mix.
Fantastic sound production. I like how you can clearly hear the bass in the mix.
This has all the makings of a SyFi Channel holiday special. "Attack Of The Snow-Zombies" [Attack Of The Snowbies? Znowbies?]
This is serious nightmare fuel right here. I could envision it being used as a background soundscape for a horror movie. I mean that in a good way. =)
