LYRICS
The command of the land, air and sea
I can see to eternity
Command understand
And, control your destiny
One-man-band command the polyphony epiphany
Conductor of the angelic army symphony
Singing in harmony
There ain’t no harm in me
I’m here to serve thee
I’m here to hear your cheer
Audience participation as a solution to devastation
Emancipation of your will to be free
Will your will be free?
Will your will to be freewill
Until you’re forever still
Emancipation Will (Set You Free)
Emancipation Will (Set Me Free)
Emancipated will
Salvation liberation

LYRICS
My Son, do you know how far to the closest sun?
How far to the closest star…?
It’s feeling kind of dark in here
And, I hear it’s pretty near

Can you shine some light
And make us bright… enlighten insight
It’s been feeling pretty slight
So, I’m wondering how far to the closest star?
My Son, how far to the nearest sun?

LYRICS
Not so subtle
About as gentle as a blow to the brow
Somehow, I’m hoping for more mental
Less brutal for all

Maybe put our heads together
Don’t have to pledge it’s forever
Just join hands to understand
The things damned by man
Giving way to a brighter day
Past the pages of the Dark Ages
To a new era of pro-engage
See beauty
Hear harmony
See beauty
Here harmony

LYRICS
None to soon
We’ll be living on the moon
On our way through the stars
Maybe make home on mars

But the moon’s not mine
Can I mine the moon
And, do we want to leave our scars on mars?

Space debris as far as the eye can see
Another giant hunk of space junk
Orbital debris — a mess due to humanity
Humans have a taste for space waste
Leaving us the curse of the universe
Aliens will be left in strife
If they come looking for intelligent life
Come on, Man! Can “leave no trace”
Be our motto for space

Europe and Russia announced their joint plan to colonize the moon for the purpose of mining. From the moon, man would launch humans further out into space. NASA recently announced its plans for manned missions to mars.

Space debris, also known as orbital debris, space junk and space waste, is the collection of manmade defunct objects in orbit around Earth. This includes spent rocket stages, old satellites and fragments from disintegration, erosion and collisions. Since orbits overlap with new spacecraft, debris may collide with operational spacecraft.

As of 2009 about 19,000 pieces of debris larger than 5 cm (2 in) are tracked, while an estimated 300,000 pieces larger than 1 cm exist….

Is this what I think it is
This is is
Before it turns to was
Because… then, this is will be was
So all the while I’ll
I’ll cherish this is
Until I perish, I’ll
Live in this is
Freewill will take what will be
And, right in front of me
Turn it into is

Somehow, it becomes the here and now
Before this is becomes was
This is is going to be ours

LYRICS
What’s ailing you
Is it the alien eating away
From inside of you
Day by day by day by day

Is that right?
A parasite that might
Consume all of you
Might start with your heart,
Then, even your brain, too

You swallowed a larva and it started to grow
Before you know, a giant worm
Doing the alien squirm

Alien alien eating you from the inside
From your guts through your hide
Is that what’s ailing you
Better ask the doctor what to do

bookmark_borderSound at the Speed of Sound

LYRICS
“However, if you travel at the speed of sound in the opposite direction of the sound coming towards you, the sound will never get to you.”

Am I getting through?

Catch that sound
Wonder wanders… what sound at the speed of sound sounds like
Can sound be found at the speed of sound?
Will it slip right through my ears
Deaf to the music among the fears
Will the sound barrier be a dyke
Holding down the sound
Will pop music be unpopular
Because my sound couldn’t get that far?
Sound in need of some doppler
What can I do to get that sound to you
Catch the sound
And, send it back ’round to you
Step on the pedal for the ricochet echo effect
Onto all let the sound shower project
Resume with a sonic boom

Sound at the Speed of Sound.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords
Bm Cm Bm Am Bm

Dubstep

A song about making music at the speed of sound. What would it sound like if you were going the speed of sound and started playing music? “If you travel at the speed of sound directly at a sound, everything will be exactly one octave higher; however, if you travel at the speed of sound in the opposite direction of the sound coming towards you, the sound will never get to you.”

How the doppler will effect your sound:

alt text

Where: (f) is the observed frequency (what you hear), (f0) is the emitted frequency (what the original sound is), (V) is the velocity of waves in the medium (343 in this case), and (Vr) is the velocity of the receiver relative to the medium; positive if the receiver (audience) is moving towards the source.

LYRICS
Ping
Try a sonic ping
Sing
Listen if anyone bounces back at you
See if their ping comes into view
Similar to sonar…
Know how far… you can go
Activate energy in life-storage
See the energy
A rainbow of humanity collage
Touch them with your ping
Touch them when you sing
Send a signal to one and all
Spread the ping and sprawl
Singing. Pinging. Life-stored energy light up the world.
Ping singing unfurled
Wail like a whale… whale-like wail
May your ping ring true for you
Light up the world
Sail unfurled
Sail wail
Sing, “ping. ping. ping.”

Ping.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords
Cm F

Dubstep

A song about giving out energy by making music… having it touch others and activate their energy… then feeling it return. The humpback whale seems like one of the best examples:

The word “song” is used to describe the pattern of regular and predictable sounds made by some species of whales, notably the humpback whale. This is included with or in comparison with music, and male humpback whales have been described as “inveterate composers” of songs that are “‘strikingly similar’ to human musical traditions”

A humpback whale song can travel for hundreds of miles. Even if I use huge amplifiers, I can’t even seem to break a mile.

When they’re gone
If you hadn’t had that kiss
You couldn’t have acted upon
Thank God we know
Thank God we miss
Better, still
Thank God for freewill
2. Some things you only miss
When they’re gone
Now let us go
And get to know bliss
So we know how to miss bliss

3. Some things you only miss
When they’re gone
Before it’s all amiss
Let your dreams spawn
Some things you only miss

May you blessed only to miss bliss

LYRIC
Sorry, I apologize. I didn’t mean to be ignorant… arrogant
I just thought it redundant — indigenous people
I mean I thought
I thought we were the people
No, wait… I mean
I thought we are the people?

We are the people

I don’t know if you found it
But, I found it abundant in being redundant

Indigenous people
I thought we were all people
And, indigenous all of us
Why create some sort-a fuss
Make people scream and cuss
Then add the S
Indigenous peoples
Is that racist by definition?
Guess you got me there
I realize once I classify people into peoples
That’s some sort-of racist declaration
And, that’s not what I suggest
I suggest we be less racist
’cause we are the people

We are the people

This is where you come in
The people

One, two… that’s at least me and you

Seek though the sheep may
Nay, people will not find shelter under the steeple

Moment is ripe on the vine to forget about mine
And, do what I should.. what I could… beyond wondering “what would”

Do you find it odd
God’s at odds?

God’s at odds
With the wrath of the Peoples
Best not seek refuge under Her steeple(s)

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords
Bb/Dm9

131 BPM / Pop Ballad

Inspired by Columbus Day and the banter of Indigenous Peoples Day.

“The noun people has both a PLURAL sense and a SINGULAR sense. In the PLURAL sense, people is used as the plural of person very frequently. It is a plural count noun and takes a plural verb. It never has an -s ending; it is already plural.”… Isn’t just saying Indigenous Peoples ridiculous?

Try to lift my head
To see what lies ahead
Forget about being skeptical

Pull a sword from a stone
Forget the lackadaisical

We’ll let Her lead be led
No matter how near or how far
We’ll follow to spectacular
