Well, it is that time of year again...A new album release is eminent. "Smoke Through A Keyhole" will be released October 7th. For anyone that wants to pre-order the album, they will get a bonus song, "Deep In The Mystery". These 4 songs on the album are 7-8 minutes long, with 3-4 movements in each of them. Song structure is out the window here, it is really meant to be listened in its entirety (30:31), I know this goes against all reality in the land of attention deficit disorder, but that is point.

15 years ago...No Phantom
Another found song from the dusty archives, No Phantom. It is kinda fun listening to songs of a 15 year younger version of me. Definitely in the Alt Rock vein, genre or different genre, I guess there is no getting away from oneself.
No Phantom
I'm feeling you, you don't feel me.
Lovin's easy when you don't see...I'm no phantom.
Scatter 'em out, then settle 'em down,
These itchy feeling of excess
Now, what if I were to tell you blow by blow?
It's a lack of conscience I know too well to know.
Somewhere outside, far from myself
On a plate-glass window
There's a bit of me yet, it's no phantom.
Tapping into you lets me see
What part of you of you is inside me
What if I were a bullet in your gun, with nothing stopping you
You'd better run
Somewhere outside, far from myself
On a plate-glass window
There's a bit of me yet, it's no phantom.
15 years ago... Acrophobia
Having just finished my next album release "Smoke Through A Keyhole", I was thinking about its release, and having some sort of pre-sale with something special to go along with the album. My first thought was a few extra songs. Well...hell. I don't really have extra songs. I build an album carefully, rarely do unused songs fall to the wayside. While I was scanning my near past, I came upon the distant past, 15 years past, and found a song unreleased. "Acrophobia".
Well...this sound-wise and thematically doesn't go with Smoke Through A Keyhole, but it shouldn't be on the Island of Lost Songs either, so it is here. Here for anyone to listen/download.
Acrophobia
We can hold the line
Or we can let it go
Leaping in a single bound
Forty stories high
I'm coming in like a boomerang
Yea, I'm coming out of this death spin
Say goodbye to the screaming
Angelic voices
Calm yourself
Felling life impact is arching back and letting go
Hold on to nothing
Open your eyes to hitting bottom
Open yourself to the possibilities
Open up to the king-size certainty
Hold on to nothing
Calm yourself

I'm not really keeping my mind on my mind
Don't look away
All reminiscence is fiction
I'm sorry, so sorry, I love you.
I can hear the sound
A deathless sound all you own...
I'm not really keeping my mind on my mind
Don't look away
I'm sorry, so sorry, I love you.
