File Updated 26/04/2025 @ 12:58 GMT - Improved Vox lead line and removed layering of that. Added some more keys and extended with a timing change from 9/8 to 3/4 as an experiment. It's not perfect but should work with tlc... will scrap that change if I don't improve it Lyrics Bargain serpent sits on top A common fate we measuring up Real as army Rhythmic troop Invested in leveling liers with truth Creating unique as free mind can Actual feast feeding soul where we stand Good brain at home ai can't ever clone Eternal with free will megaphone You're right... I am the best version of me Or at least that I believe that wholeheartedly Dempsey lays it bare Kiss a mirror Then all love becomes clear For how can we teach if we dont know Positive highway to emotion reform Oooo Oooo Oo Ooo Ahhhh ah ahhh I used to feel fear Then I found me like you Path oh so clear Disillusioned, but true This barricade is for the fake A caged poison 'Throw away that key... They may get numbers Take the fucking money As their souls fall asunder We can shine sound like honey Beehives of beasts who lovin' art receipt Lasering love Towards their meaningless deceit I used to feel fear Then I found me like you Path oh so clear Disillusioned, but true The barricade is for their fake A caged poison 'Throw away the key... Oooooon ahh ah Hey ha ha File Updated: Day mode vox in first attempt... It's very different! I liked the soft version too so might do a more ambient version again and bring that back but I think this is where I want to go for the main version. Acoustic rhythm and Acoustic rhythm/lead lines put in also This is for artist Barricage. Song kudos for saying it like it is! https://soundcloud.com/davemillz I'll gradually fill this out properly but first note is the lyrics were written on the back of the page the lyrics for Symbiosis were written on. They appreciate the connection with that song so I think that was a nice nugget for writing a song for them on the same bit of tree 🔆 The other worthy note for now is this is the first ever song I've written in 9/8... also a hat tip to the lads thinking outside the box Discuss how we are the last generation with a pre artificial intelligence reference so have a great responsibility to pass onto the next generation what its like to be creative without it at all and as we fully integrate it's mechanisms, those mechanisms need to expand not contract general human creativity. This is also critical in an existential sense as we need to evolve minds to be more creative to move passed current negative bottlenecks holding us back... AI certainly has a part to play in helping us become more consciously good as a collective but there has to be an allowance for the indivdual to be empowered by that transition also and not dumbed down by it. That cedes more power and the top 1% becomes the top 0.5% unless we are all lasered to what it is doing and what we actually want from it
