Eyes they have, but they see not, ears they have, but they do not hear, a mouth they have, but they can not speak...And those worshiping them will become just like them. You did justice to this piece Rick.
The sleep is still in my eyes
The dream is still in my head
I heave a sigh and sadly smile
And lie a while in bed
I wish that it might come to pass
Not fade like all my dreams
Just think of what my life might be
In a world like I have seen
I don`t think I can carry on
Carry on this cold and empty life
My spirits are low in the depths of despair
My lifeblood spills over
"...I have not left this cave for days now, it has become my last refuge in my total despair. I have only the music of the waterfall to comfort me now. I can no longer live under the control of the Federation, but there is no other place to go. My last hope is that with my death I may pass into the world of my dream, and know peace at last."
2112 part VI: Soliloquy
The protagonist returns to the cave and broods for "days". He imagines "what my life might be in a world like I have seen", and now considers life under the Federation "cold and empty", with his spirits "low in the depths of despair". He resolves that, in order to "pass into the world of my dream, and know peace at last", he must take his own life— his narrative ending as "my life blood spills over."
One of the most famous soliloquies in literature is Hamlet's where he contemplates suicide, saying "To sleep, perchance to dream". The title of the song movement indicates a similar struggle where the protagonist chooses the liberation of spirit "that with my death I may pass into the world of my dreams, and know peace at last".
ONE TIN SOLDIER
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it…

Sweet dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want…

I used to play this in my High School band while shaking the hair out of my eyes.
Ahhh … . . *Those were the days*
Now I play mostly acoustic and I never worry about my hair getting in the way.
Progress? Maybe not, but it's still fun to think about.
Thanks for the memory
Recorded Friday, December 13th, 2013. Drums were generated using a Yamaha E313 keyboard. Vocals and all other instruments are my fault. Lyrics and composition by Stevie Wonder.
My version of a Neil Young song.
"Rockin' In The Free World"
There's colors on the street -- Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet -- People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
There's a lot…

Since my baby left me
I found a new place to dwell
It's down the end of Lonely Street
At Heartbreak Hotel
You're makin' me so lonely, baby
I get so lonely, I get so lonely, I could die
Though it's always crowded
You still can find…

On Facebook, my sister in law (a middle school teacher) told us that my niece said the second day of kindergarten was even better than the first. My sister (an elementary school teacher) said something along the lines of yippee for good days…
The music was written in a hotel room in upstate New York. How rock and roll is that? I occasionally find myself very inclined to throw electric pianos at everything. This comes from such a phase. The part in question here was recorded using…
I can't believe no one commented or faved this awesome jam before me. I love the poetry and the vocals and the music. You truly ROCK, my friend. Rock on!
The realtors always disliked showing the old Victorian house on Layton Way. It gave them a creepy, clammy feeling. Especially in the basement where mad whispers and the sound of metal working off in the distance could sometimes be almost heard…
The music is quite fitting in consideration of the description of the house for which this sound file is named -- and I love it! I enjoy a creepy, haunting recording when handled with taste and mix down mastery, as evident here. Truly enjoyed every spooky second, especially when the voice came in!
AT The Mercy of The Fist
All music and lyrics by David Dingo
This song has gone through many different names and incarnations before I settled on this. At one point in time it was to be called "The Marionette's Song." Basically it is a song…
I wanted something slow and dirgish (is that a word?) and twangie. I sorta got that, not really. This is another one that I got weird with the time signature setting in GarageBand for iPad and then the drummer function on GarageBand for Mac…
DEAR PEGGY
Dear Peggy,I thot you'd like to know
That blue tile in our bathroom you said would have to go
I replaced with the slate that we bought at Home Depot
mmmmm mmmmm
Dear Peggy, The heat has killed the lawn
And water is so expensive…
A very different sort of song – interesting, sad lyrics, cool use of echo, nice, brief lead break. Painful but somehow sweet too. Good job of songwriting, but I hope you can get over Peggy – not meaning to get you started….
I dig the scale of the intro melody -- sounds related to Chinese Pop. You've strung together some tasty sounds -- this tune kept my interest throughout.
I've heard this melody before but am unsure who wrote the original. This is my version, written for a video I created. Check it out here:

My psychedelic folk version of the 6th movement of the 2112 suite by the extraordinary Canadian progressive metal power trio called RUSH.
Soothing smiles of mercy. There's definetly some sad taste behind this. I like it
Growl! IAA

A man and his guitar. Good vocals, interesting poetry, unique strumming style -- an all around fine recording. Great job -- Rock on!
Groovy -- Rock on!
COOL RIFFS!
This is the kind of music I can chill to -- enjoyed it, and the mood it delivered.
Trippy, fusion-ish, like Psychedelic Jazz. Intriguing and quite interesting and entertaining -- a delightful 5 minutes, thank you.
As deekaybe said, "...music like I like." Great job!
I'm DIGGING this -- it's a delicious groove: haunting, bittersweet, beautiful, and quite colorful. Stay groovy!

I dig the tuning. The delay has a haunting effect. A very colorful, tasteful, textured, interesting experience. Good stuff!
Really interesting poetry!
Solid, hardcore truth in those lyrics, and the music and vocals are quite fitting of the topic. Good job.
I'm floored.
Wonderful! The melodic intro instrument had a delightful vocal quality. You've strung together some great sounds -- a delicious composition.

This ROCKS! Very clever, brilliant. Rock on!
Masterful. Brilliant. Good for the soul.
Love me some slip 'n' slide! Nice vocal work too. Rock on!
