This is a song that's kind of almost a true story. It's about a person who only has nightmares instead of regular dreams. I still have regular dreams, but when I try to have lucid dreams, they always end up being horrible. I don't know if you'd call 'em nightmares technically speaking cuz it doesn't have a disturbing climax; but they're disturbing and shitty.
Crap, I couldn't get the mix right, bleh. I think it's cuz my voice doesn't have much resonance and stuff. That's what I get for trying to teach myself how to do heavy metal screaming and fucking up my voice (there isn't any of that in here - I sound like the kid in The Shining when I try to do it, ha ha ha). Anyway, this is a song about the spirit of someone's grandmother being in Heaven and communicating with that person that even though life sucks, there's a purpose to it. You're not really allowed to know what that purpose is until after you're dead. Who knows if that's the case in real life or not?
This song was inspired by a dream where people died in a big flash of light and explosion-y-ness. It's about a person who is a ghost, stuck on earth, with the memory of her death repeating over and over.
This is a song about those tolerance holidays or whatnot. At least I thought they were called tolerance holidays, but Google AI thingamagigger sez no. But Wikipedia sez yes - or it said something to the effect of, yes, going off meds for a while is called a holiday. So, there ya go. Anyway, it's a song about taking a break from pot to make one's tolerance go down. That's what this song is about.
Here's a bonus song - it's about being sucked into the belly of the beast, which is where we are right now.
Another bonus song - it's just me fucking around.
This is a song about ancestors comin' around to get you and take you to the afterlife when you die. It's a happy song about death.
I was recording a song today and, as usual, messed up a lot and recorded over the mess-ups. The question occurred to me: What would happen if I did a song and kept all the mess-ups in it? Here it is!!
This is a song about having ghosts in your house and offering them a beer. Or whiskey or gin or something.
It's another song about the fucked up world, and the likelihood of said world ending soon. I had this F# minor chord ringing over the whole thing that added a little color to the regular chords of the song, and it made it extra-special-depressing and stuff. This song is God-flushing-humanity-down-the-toilet-themed.
This is a song about the anti-Christ comin' and stuff. It came to me to have the song be peaceful and sad. When I was a kid and I had end-of-the-world-dreams, they were sad. There was just this great sadness hanging in the air. That's sorta the vibe o' this here little ditty.
This is a song about when Covid was on the horizon - we were waiting for it to get here. Y'know, probably January-ish/February-ish of 2020. Something along those lines. There was that ominous feeling of a thunderhead on the horizon approaching slowly. You knew things were going to get bad, but you didn't know how bad. And you see it comin' and comin' and comin', and there's nothing you can do to make it stop. It's almost like the slow approach of Covid was like watching an accident in slow motion or something. It's just this thing happening and you can't make it stop. Oh, and the whole thing about toilet paper.
Post-script (5/28/2025): I kept on listening to the wee little demo I made before I recorded the "final" version of the song and was really fond of it. So, I re-worked things and made half of the wee little demo into the very first part of the song. We'll see how I feel about it later on, but I'm kinda liking it. See below.
Covid is coming to town reworked
It's been about 2.5 years since I've recorded a backwards version of one of my songs - geez, has it been that long? This is a song that's in that Hell-movie I'm working on. But I performed it backwards and stuff.
And here's what it sounds like when you turn the song up there around.
