After Robbie had played this one for us early on, and while we were waiting for everyone to assemble for a later Zoom call, Margaret bet me a drink that the perpetually optimistic Robbie had written this song unaware of the ambiguity of the main…

This one started as a busier version of Leum’s song When Do You Show It. I added drums and a bass part to his vocals and acoustic guitar, and Hayden later pitched in with a distorted guitar part. I sent Leum mixes of three different versions…

Take him on
The scrabbling spree
Words like grotto
Ended month
Ending nowhere
Catch him up
We found the key
Last year’s motto
Brazen son
Ending nowhere
Enter the scene
You’re spoiling for a red nose battered
One two three

What’ll it take the time?
What’ll you gain to sell
Life of the party
Rolling the molly
Drugs are the hobby
Make you feel well
What’ll it take the time?
What’ll you gain to sell
Making songs about drugs can make problems for you…

And I build a rainbow
All our lights shimmering
All the time we share is true
All our hearts glimmering
Beats reverberating sound
Send a hope to the sky
Feel it echo back to you
Share a piece of your light
And I build a rainbow

Some will say it happens
Screwing up can happen
Naked bodies from the clouds
Orphans asking why

When I saw him peeking
Photographing warzones could be
misidentified
It unpacked all their carry-ons
And the craft…

Return on investment - selling a

Soaked all my absorption - laying there
Furious misfortune - frankly it

Sky is black as pitch now
Moon as blood is glowing
In this blood-soaked hellscape
As you might expect there is a presence
Out of the grave
Out of the night
Out of your mind
One’s a mass of maggots
One’s underwear’s showing

A buzz continues building
One loss is someone’s winning
So to a toy our thinking
And we will revel in this round - woot woot

For the moment sound woot woot

This is the sound that our hearts make
This is the sound…

Based on a simple piano line by Chris Avery, which appears in its raw form in variation 2 after the introductory woodwind ensemble. Trying to channel Satie to Debussey to Elgar in 3 minutes.

I was so disappointed in the youtube retention stats on the original version of this that I created this neoclassical version (the Imaginary Crowdpleaser Mix) thinking it would be more accessible. I renamed the original (I think I still like it…

This is what could happen when you decide that jazz piano, bongos, and a pizzicato string trio might sound good together....

Another elaboration of a groove by Chris Avery, this time with him on guitar, bass, and drums. He called it TBC, which got me thinking about the feeling of being a bit of unfinished work, a work in progress, of being, frankly, a bit of a disappointment…

Please don't read this as any sort of commentary or disrespect of any kind. I did an instrumental mood piece and for no reason other than it seems to work well put a sample of a beautiful call to prayer over top of it.

The basic track was done several years ago with Native Instruments FM8 soft synth. Last year I filled it out with Ableton Live 10 and theremin samples. The original intent was to capture the threatening mood of Peter Gabriel's The Intruder but…

The version of this on my YouTube playlist The Scorge had the top line melody in strings, which I always hated. This is as close as I could get before running out of time and energy. The timbre could be a bit more abrasive, but there it us.
