Incinerate the Sun

>>>Left Center Channel<<< In the night, Someone starts to yell, a nasty fight In the night. In the night, The moon shines a beautiful tin silver light In the night. In the night, Someone screams in the dark with fright In the night. In the night, A coyote howls and then treks near a lanterns yellow light In the night. >>>Wind Sound Vocals<<< Nước trời mưa Tuần trước mưa Trước khi mưa >>>Right Center Channel<<< After his boat had ceased being buffeted on the sea of thought, a mast was broken, and equipment in disarray around the quarters below. And with only one man left on the ship after the rest had jumped overboard, it took him a while to put everything back, and even then it was not the same, some of the food was in the wrong cabinet, and pillows at the foot of the bed instead of the head. By the time the ship had a relative sense of order restored to it, night had fallen upon the silent waters, now smooth as a mirror. And so life resumed in the same way it had before the wind became insubordinate with itself, the only thing missing now was himself. Nobody spoke to the captain during the first leg of the journey, and now, he was alone. His crew gone and his ship nearly unrecognizable, the man sat on the deck, pondering over everything that had just happened and how to keep going despite the problems that had just revealed themselves to him. Once that was figured out, he spotted a glimmer of light on the horizon, whose glow held strong through the stone-cold midnight blue of the night and persevered into the cautious red twilight of morning. Drawn to it as if a moth to candlelight, his ship made its way towards the horizon as the influence of that light grew more and more. Very soon, one light split into two, and two into four, as an island formed behind the lights giving them shape. Now, no longer just lights, an entire village had emerged. Although no sound could be heard in that direction, twilight started to fade into oblivion, an almost infinite gray, as the sun arose. Although, left alone again, this time changed again and greeted at first with a hearty, “Ahoy!” and then soon after, with inquiries about his voyage and his place of origin. The captain had found refuge in a small fishing village on the tip of a peninsula. While relatively isolated from the inland, it was the first step to returning, unsure of where he was, he didn’t have the slightest care in the world. His only focus now was that he had found something, something to latch onto, something to help rebuild what he had lost, and somewhere to start over...

She Said 03:38
There's no where left to go. Who's gonna hold you now, when there's nothing left for you, What's gonna keep you 'round? When you’re standing at the end When you’re standing at the end... A pillow to cry on, a shoulder to sigh on if there's nothing, then what am I? ...Just another memory that’s gotten lost inside your head? She said She said She said She said She said Where will you go? Now you're all alone. She left you, because of you Because of you Because of you Because of you… A pillow to cry on, a shoulder to sigh on. If there's nothing, then what am I? Just another memory that’s gotten lost inside your head? She said She said She said She said She said She said She said She said She said She said

How much time until the end? As seconds trail away to dust, Nothing more is sacred Until tomorrow. The slow cracking of our bones reminds us all of the tone of voice which life will use to speak to us all, Eventually... Friends, motionless, abear-like Poems in living form, they are as Time the bark, as momentary leaves bloom before the fall Some live lives like summer moths Yet I am strangled by the thoughts Of time without end. Feeling the weight of all the past, Until tomorrow It all stays while I pass on Unmoved by me at all On a river and a sea whose shores are lost in crossing Until tomorrow Stirring waters only briefly Searching all our lives for this one thing: Companionship, and understanding, But is it what we really need? Until tomorrow Until tomorrow Until tomorrow I am the tide And my hemming words... Hear me, for I am the tide

There are always ebbs and flows...

I hope everyone has as much fun listening to this project I had in making it and brainstorming ideas for how it should sound.

Everything took shape following the completion of one song a year or two prior. Almost as if compelled by spirits, the chorus to "She Said" came to me one day in a dream, and I didn't write it down so it faded away. Months later I was on my way home from work and something came into my mind and I knew that it was the same melody I'd heard before. I went home and immediately got to work. Within the next week I finished most of the song but it was missing some flourishes.

As for the rest of the songs, "Need" is very much a sister song to "She Said" not only because of the blending of the two together but also in that after finishing up the latter track, I kept the same tuning and tried to do something more abstract that I ended up copying some chords at the end since it was sounding so similar in tone.

"In the Night" has been a poem I wrote when I was in grade school until this recent iteration where I added more of a narrative story to it. The added guitars and bass here courtesy of Kohl Weisman really makes the track much more musical in a very unsettling way.

"Until Tomorrow" is a reworking of a song idea I wrote down last year but never fully developed, so I changed it into a spoken-word poem and set it to an old piece for soloing I'd come up with but never developed.

The recent output has been more singer/songwriter focused but this isn't a permanent change much the same as life.
