Thus the lyr i-challs ... weird summoning in silence from dark signs engraved on some medium so as to excite thought ...

Happened to an acquaintance while sitting in a alien place waiting to move on ... transposed into "Resting in Miami; waiting for a Plane ..." a set-up?

These things repeat like dogs out there in the shadows ... baffling the fixated and determined ... till they cannot go ... renal failure ... enter PRION Disease ... a mystery! The "O" was nothing compared to the "N" when beset with noia (archaic word). forerunner of anoia and other agnostics ... defines all that mortal cannot know (the immortal) because of where one hasn't been yet is a limitation ... that sets one off like sacr' id ... or sanctioned for going there ... some clues are obscured in the body of the thing requiring some innate activity ... as when we turn on ourselves for reason of mystery ...

This is self destructive limitation of autonomous reverence ... suicidal? Love songs to die for ... and then forget ide ... that's the thing left behind ... rarely grasped ... like truth ... few believe anything anymore for good reason as bought down on us ... all by tyrants ready to screw up anything at hand ... and without a Que, or (cure) quelle ... that outside source? Word is like that also; don't curse it as it continues ...

Can it be abstracted from the absolute where man has never been before? You shouldn't go there ... because of deficiencies ... something lacking ... as in a real word game ... life itself? It is extensive ... if you haven't noted!

However over the millennia if you look you can follow the alterations ... like witches in the darkest nights ... they get into your head ... creating brain jerks ... for TU itches ... and following Chivas ... a wine while pseudo-like it is also a word ...

There are implications ... that are categorical ... like a great spread of my St ... essence? Really nothing TU ide ... some say a stinking thought that contaminated the way ... foul?

Maybe later when beyond here ...

I'm mostly listening, rewrite and refining my own songs. It is what I've been doing other the last few months. Always wrote poetry, it was an easy transition to lyrics.

Fantastic! I am a lover of music (in case you haven't noticed) and poetry so songwriting is something I love. Are we likely to hear some of this someday? (he says hopefully)

I contemplate taking a crack at songwriting myself but somehow it doesn't feel right. I'm actually a bit tone deaf, much as I love music, and never sure my songs would ever feel as good actually sung as they do in my head. Still, I have poems I've written that are basically lyrics to tunes in my head.

Yes I hope so, I would like that myself, because it would be nice to have someone like say Micheal Bublé sing them, I have two or three songs that I think would suit him.

He needs more original material. Too much of his repertoire is standards and covers, I find.
 
Jonathan Tilkin and Anthony Gargiula have had this schtick going for years where they, usually with a third singer, harmonize a popular song in someone's (maybe Jonathan's?) kitchen. What happens less often is that the third singer is the actual original singer and writer of the song. But here it is, Moroccan-born Canadian prairie girl Faouzia joining in on her hit "Unethical". And it is lovely. Her voice works well with theirs.

I love this song in general, her best in a while and I say that as someone who has been following her since she was just starting out in her late teens (she was 17 the first time I heard her sing as a guest artist with the band Whitehorse). It's getting a bit overexposed on YouTube, though.


And the full song from a TV appearance in China, where Faouzia has become quite popular it seems.

I have fours songs I think he'd love to sing, suit him down to the ground, which I called "Grace in motion." " I got it wrong. " "Coming home to you." and "Loves first kiss." the first one is about women, and how perfect they are. and the second about a man who made the mistake of breaking up with is love and regretting it and last two the titles give them away.
 
A Mashup I like.
Freddie is out of the Jamaican Rock Steady scene (this piece is OLD). Just discovered it, so new to me.
 
To my delight, new Spiritbox today and it's bit different from their usual djent-heavy modern metalcore. This one, titled "Mourning", is a heavy power ballad with vocalist Courtney Laplante sticking to her lovely clean voice rather than ripping loose with the powerful growls and screams that are her trademark.

 
A nice heavy banger that came out yesterday from Ukrainian band Noapology. The band first got my attention under the name Sershen & Zaritskaya, the surnames of guitarist Sergey Sershen and vocalist Daria Zaritskaya, who co-founded the band. Daria packs a stunning "shouter" voice that she uses to great effect on both covers of hard rock and metal songs and the band's originals. She recently fronted another group for a cover of ACDC's "Thunderstruck" and my reaction to that was that she has the perfect voice for doing ACDC covers. :p


And for those who may wonder, Ukraine is real hotbed of hard rock and metal. The war has definitely affected their musicians, often showing up in their writing and videos. Metal band Jinjer are even cultural ambassadors for the country, touring and recording as their "war service". Noapology are no exception and the war had a definite presence on their last studio LP. A metal podcaster that I have started watching on YouTube occasionally, Metal Pilgrim, is based in Kyiv and comments on the impact of the war sometimes as well.

Scardust are a prog metal band that's been kind of leaning to the prog side of late. Their new release, a metal cover of a song by UK electronic outfit Clean Bandit, is a real banger, though. Violinist Mia Asano, who worked with Scardust vocalist Noa Grumman on a project last year and will be again next year (the Legendary Orchestra that tours with Swedish power metal band Sabaton), joins in. And danged if Mia didn't actually manage to outdo Noa on the fashion front. Neither is especially shy about their stage costumes, often wearing pretty over-the-top outfits, but I think Mia wins this round.

 
Mia, by the way, is having a banger of a career right now. From touring with Two Steps From Hell, a metal-influenced string ensemble, twice (Europe in 2024 and China just last month) to touring with Sabaton (last fall and again next winter) to guesting with various bands, she's all over the place anymore. Plus she's touring the Western US (she is American) with her own backup band this Fall. She was still finishing her degree at Berklee College of Music in Boston when I discovered her a few years ago and now she's building quite a resume as a rock and metal violinist. The days when studying violin or other bowed string instruments meant a career in classical music or maybe pop instrumental are long gone. There's a number of string players working in rock and metal now and Mia is becoming one of the best. Another is her friend and sometimes collaborator Tina Guo, a cellist who will also be on the Sabaton tour next year.
