Chaos

My friends, in addition to being a poet I am also a musician. I'm working with my friend and fellow schizophrenic Jacob Ansari on some music. I did the instrumentation and Jacob did the lyrics/vocals. We'd be hugely grateful if you gave it a listen:

The lyrics, as penned by Jacob Ansari:

Chaos is lost 

Through time and space 

In this kind of place 

Spontaneity in reality 

is the sanity 

Those deities thin vanities fits insanity 

Spontaneity is insanity in reality 

The deity sins profanity the humanity 

Why do i continue to defy 

When all i do is go try 

I have to let my woes die 

In order to be a froze guy 

Wooden boy with a nose lie 

Should’ve enjoyed that rose died 

Instead i let it have no highs 

Shriveled red chaotic 

Never said erotic 

Shot through chronic 

Spilt gin and tonic 

Split sin atomic 

Time to go supersonic

 A seance of chaos to pray on to stay lost stay frosty those costly hotties no shawty thin bodies sought me taught me godly birds be hardly learn turn the yearn to churn ember dismember fender in December to render useless tender clueless genders robotic bender chaotic sender return conform the form to the norm never sworn sever scorn levers worn being born is being torn between the forlorn now mourn this morning night gone exploring but imploring to keep going but it was to end reap knowing 

Chaos is lost through time and space 

in this kind of place 

But what do i know?

Thanks for listening, Pete

[Perdition]

Love the riff..as for the lyrics, I keep trying to grab at the edge of the vocals and lyrics while the music is playing along, but every time I try to hold it, I sorta slide off the overall (if you know what I mean) anyway in my effort to hear it ..which is my bad, I slide into an abyss, which to me is the epitome of '"Chaos" so I most definitely enjoyed it. Some light mixing here and there perhaps...just a little, but this song playing while I try that "no parachute" type of flying seems about perfect to me...hahaha. Keep the journey going ..one guitarist to another~

[John Sullivan]

Yeah, the mix is pretty lofi, and I'm not happy with the bass tone, but what's done is done. I dunno, I like Jacob, he's whip smart and intensely passionate about his art, which is cool. It's just a pleasure to work with him. Rock on, my friend

i tried to bring the video up for you in this box John but it it didnt work ...
It certainly sounded chaotic and i am so glad you posted the words for us.
Also the chosen picture was very apt indeed ..

Jacob took the photograph himself, he's a talented photographer and film-maker in addition to his gifts as a lyricist. Thank you so much for stopping by!

[Stella Armour]

Maybe if try the embed option on Youtube you might be able to upload the video ...

[John Sullivan]

Already tried it, the Cafe hates music, apparently :P

[Stella Armour]

I love music of all types but not all music of any type. The lyrics hit hard and remind me that chaos is everywhere and sanity is no where. All of us have deviations, some more some less, and from this we have to sort it out.

[John Sullivan]

Jacob's a really great kid. Whip-smart, and funny to boot. A lot of his music deals with his experiences with mental illness, a subject pretty dear to my heart. Thank you so much for listening and reading, it really does mean the world

[Chris Shaw]

Hello John. I listened to the link of you working with your friend. I liked the sound. I couldn’t hear all the lyrics. It wound be nice to read them. All the best.

Chris

[John Sullivan]

Thanks so much for listening! I will post the lyrics in a few minutes. He's a great kid, a lot of his work explores his experiences with mental illness, a subject dear to my heart.
