We Should See Other Blogs

Despite saying I was going to bed, I didn’t, and this small piece resulted.

Patterns 3

This is what come of being unable to compose, you know, real music.

Courtesy of Notion and the fact that I can, you know, do stuff with it, however limited that stuff might actually be due to my own shortcomings, here’s a little song:

The White Wall 0.1

Edit: a cup of Starbucks coffee, a cigar, and a few hours later, this:

The White Wall 0.2

This is what I have so far:

The Palm of Your Breath

It’s… alright.

I have recorded yet another rough demo. It’s called “The Red Wall”, inspired by General Fitzwallace and his tragic death in Israel. Maybe some of you will know what I’m talking about, but for those of you who don’t, here’s a song.

The Red Wall (OGG Vorbis)
The Red Wall (MP3)

Here are the words:

This is your first day.
This is your last day.
Hidden in tear gas,
buried in scattered glass.
Terror in pipe bombs.
Nails in the brick walls.
People like strewn dice
over a concrete lawn.

Will you remember all of this?
Appalling fall, the tender kiss
of flame and pain and bliss
of being spread over the wall.
The red wall, the red wall, the red wall.

It was your first breath,
or was it your last breath?
In amneosis,
screaming to let them know
that you have arrived here.
Why are you crying?
You’re supposed to be happy,
you’re supposed to be happy here.

Is it all you remember,
the red wall?

Right now I’m listening to Coldplay’s new album, “Castles”.

Okay, so Coldplay themselves didn’t make it: it’s a fan-made collection of b-sides and live tracks, none of which I’ve heard of before, some of which rival my favorite Coldplay material. Seriously, fire up your uTorrents ladies and gentlement and get a-downloading.
