Dystopia
--------
will you cut off my arms, in this animal farm
can you rip out my tongue in this bleak '84
bring silence to their ears, and quell all their fears
big brother, won't you cut out my heart
before i see this ripped apart
as i watch…
Track 18 from "Someone Else's Hell"
Lyrics:
So, this is what it's like
To grow old
Old
Everybody needs you
Everybody cares
Except the ways that matter
Why are you still here?
So, this is what it's like
To come home
A hero
You…
17 - Shadow
===========
there's something in my shadow
watching, waiting, taking over me
is there someone, anyone
anyone to help me?
sing:
[nothing of value]
all our demons come to play
in our eyes, everyday
can you make mine go…
16 - Ways to Pass the Time
==========================
love is just an effigy
i've burnt and burnt and tried
cast out upon the open seas
of all the times i've died
and to the realms of ecstasy
i've sinned and sinned and cried
just like…
*thank you itabit, for lending your voice to this... i still hate you.
15 - Home Is A Place To Hang Your Head (haunted)
================================================
narrator:
i know
you don't understand yet
this is a glimpse of eternity…
14 - Swing
==========
run, my dirty little liar
outrun the truth today
swing, my dirty little lover
into the night sky
(swing away from me)
// swing up for your soul
// swing up past the pain
// now look down at the ground…
06 - Burning
============
burn out old scars
scream at the world
self destruction reigns tonight
yet i feel no pain
self destruction is my life
yet i feel no pain
(burn it, burn it, burn it)
she says it's not august
she says…

I don't miss anything that inspired this or the rest of the songs on this album. But thank you for asking. I will not repeat the mistake of letting you back into my life. I literally want nothing to do with you.

"I, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same..."
Why
Do you
insist
on letting them
get away…
I recorded this back in February for the RPM... then I got all distracted by non-discontent and work. I finally decided to go ahead and just abandon the album - but here is the one decent track I made :)

I apologize for the long wait -- I'm going through some life changes that make recording difficult at the moment :D
I've overcome the difficulties for this song which I would like to dedicate to the beautiful woman who inspired it. Her initial…
29 - My Darkest Place
=====================
this is my darkest place
my light has gone away
this was my final stand
these damned word coming from a broken man
// love...warmth...
// everything is gone
// light...hope..
// everything…
Dystopian Anthem

Together we strive
United, we divide
the night fire we've made
are ours to take
We gain what we earn
earn what we can take
family, we all share
In this world to create

all is dark again
where has my light gone
shine something on me
shine some light on me
all is dark again
all is dark again
all is black again
why do you walk…

This tune was written on the day I bought my vintage Yamaha CP-25 electric piano and returned to hear that Dennis Hopper had passed away. I fired up the gear and cranked this out. The sound of the piano made me feel like Ray Manzarek...thus the…
First track I produced on my DAW...just tryin' to get the feel of thing at the time (no manual...well...a manual, but it's in Japanese...so same thing). Anyway, it's pretty simple...programmed a drum track, threw down a fretless dub line...threw…
About a place in the world that is very special.
But It would be just another bit of rock if it wasn't for the people I shared it with....
This one is called “Stoneâ€...

It was about sunrise when I met this guy on the streets of the French Quarter and bought him coffee. I don't know if he's still around -- that was some 20 years ago -- but a two-hour conversation affected my life more than I would have ever known…
Song from mid ninties, for the Trawler tapes collection. I do plan to make a new version of this when I get around to it.
The YouTube vid is rudimentary
Take me back to ole Virginia Lord, he's pluggin' in a mic.
I dig the cheesy Farfisa Rotary patch......
Here's a song to sing
a fairy tale
no mountain high
or oceans to sail
no darken nights
in the belly of a whale
no hammer's throne
or red…
This song was a challenge to write . . .
LYRICS:
Order for your protection
under threat of a gun
You might be confined here
till the damage is done
Lock him up and toss the key
It's for your own good
Straightjacket
Done
Tie me…
Cover of the Joy Division classic, with a little drum'n'bass thrown into the mix
This version from September 2010
The youtube version is my original recording going back to 1997.
The music and recording go back to the mid Ninties but the lyrics are actually a poem I wrote in school in about 1982.
This is another track for my jazz playlist / album
Spahetti metal is AWESOME!!!! I'm waiting for clint eastwood to circle 2 other guys for a few hours in the desert while the decide who to shoot at first :) Awesome sound and great harmonica
written on a Bad day with Chicken pox....
But Spent a Great Day with my Son who also had it.
Jim Called later that day.
He added a vocal/Lyric the day after as my voice is shot...
This is a song about good times with your wee ones..
A Song I wrote about a friend of mine who used to Jump out of planes a lot.
This is one of the hidden tracks on my new album "Black Cat" which features Beth, Keith and Reewfwalker from alonetone and Geir and Jim from Songcrafters.
Here is a…
...and when the bird fell out of its nest the weight of its bum, dropped into the snow...
...nestling down and not realizing it hadn't left its nest at all...
...but it thought that it was a softer nest, a cleaner nest, one without the sticks…
i've decided to be an infectious disease.
i've decided to be the answer,
the reconstructor.
reanimating that which is dead inside of you.
and if i pretended that i must have a holistic cleansing,
i have proven that it cannot be,
change must spread…
gushing surge of opulence,
cavaliers to complete nonsense.
the true soldiers of misfortune
are mings and chengs
drowning in the democratic fabric from our nation.
This song features a ukele...
your thoughts are real,
but are they only in your head?
go get it free instead.
eat a pickle on a picnic
on greenland island
on the artic sea.
the iron ball will knock it down
we'll build demolition huts
with our…
Comments on Vestigial Remorse's stuff
Why did you stop making music?
Thanks to to the people that made this worthless. --- V
Loving this collection ... Constant emotional roller coaster
A dark poem in the guise of music...
Agree with last guest -- painful to hear, but oddly cathartic
... so much pain in the vox...
Well .. it does seem to speak for itself, eh?
Oddly no comment here...
I don't miss anything that inspired this or the rest of the songs on this album. But thank you for asking. I will not repeat the mistake of letting you back into my life. I literally want nothing to do with you.
If you care about her then why don't you tell her?
Miss her yet???
Cool track :) Big and dark
Nice.
Yes, love it. You make me want to make music again.
This is oddly reminiscent of Gary Numan....
