Deep Down Inside Arthur J Fischman 2025-08-29 | From Neosuburban a song about how we are each our own worst enemy. Drums are from @ArnaudKrakowka and can be found here Easy Metal Drum Track 70 BPM (HQ,HD) youtube.com/watch?v=3zBS5dUxgWIHere are the lyrics a partnership between myself, Art Fischman, and Rebecca Birmingham Montgomery.The lunatic inside my brain is very hard to knowI try to talk to him assuming that he gives a shitI often try to seek what motivates his willHoping that one day I will get throughAnd if he listens we can be a better personAssuming that of course I know what’s best for himI make suggestions from a place of higher learningI plant woke feelings, replacing all his craven thoughtsTry and failChange does not come easyTry and failNo matter how I tryTry and failI never get the messageTry and failIntensions overruled I get tired hearing the happy people sayTomorrow will be better than todayYou don’t know me or what’s in my mindI think about bad things all the time I’m a journey man of strifeThat’s how I live my lifeCan’t fight the pain in meReeling in my brain so deepI’m not to blameJust a little insaneResponsibilityNot the best of my abilityI know what’s right, I read about it in all the booksOften it’s not very hard to do at allI know that I would have more friends if I would do the right thingAnd that this thing would make me happyThen something happens that I can’t really explainCrouched in the darkness hidden is my fear and painProdding and cajoling me to turn my back on rightPersistent banter hardly ceasing day or nightI’m baring my soulI’m out of controlI’m thrown down a wellIn my own special hell#neosuburban
Texas Freeze Remaster Arthur J Fischman 2025-08-27 | This song was originally released in 2021 shortly after the famous Texas Freeze where a cold snap resulted in a loss of power for 4.5 million homes for over two weeks in some cases. Over 246 people were killed directly by the cold. As a boy who grew up in Chicago it was obvious to me that the unrelenting cold was far beyond what Texans can handle. We finally had to abandon our all-electric apartment when the power went out and the temperature inside started to plummet. When things finally started to thaw there were literally waterfalls from the burst pipes off the third story balconies of the apartments in our complex. This song is about that experience.I had just started messing with my digital audio workstation (DAW) when I wrote this tune shortly after the thaw. Today I listened to it when it popped up in my mix. It sounded to me like I had a blanket over the speakers. So being so much better at this stuff today, I decided to take another shot at mixing it. Drums on this track are from @GuitarMapsDrumTracks The track that I used is Chill Rock Drum Track 75 BPM Drum Beat for Bass Guitar Backing Tracks, Instrumental Drum Beat 🥁 463 which can be found here youtube.com/watch?v=Macy7d_0tIs Please subscribe to his channel.#neosuburban
Sooner or Later Arthur J Fischman 2025-08-15 | Rebecca is involved in a super low budget movie and the director needed some random hip hop music for a scene where a bad guy is driving around. I'll post more on this if the movie becomes a reality but it's a fun learning experience for everybody. I got tasked to write the hip hop music but as often happens my muse suggested more of a Trip Hop direction so that's were I took it. Drums are from @kiro__tv specifically the track Trip hop drums loop - 80 BPM youtube.com/watch?v=eK7iJGmDLXsI wrote the lyrics which are as follows.I’m gonna drive around and look for youI’m gonna find you and park the carI’m gonna express my deep frustrationWith my current situationExplain it in terms you can understandPaint you a picture, something freehand About what you can do for meAbout what you should do for meA masterpiece without even tryin’Gonna let my mind roam freeLet my imagination speak for meGonna feed on what I needNo need to intercedeGot some weed and motivationLet go my deep frustrationGonna know just what I needTime best unspokenTime running smooth neverTime sooner than laterTime not enough for the hatersTime take whatever you needTime It’s not about hate, it’s who needs it moreSo give it to me, should not have to explainI wear it better than you, looks better on meI’ll just say it was a gift of magnanimous expressionBecause it used to symbolize some colonial repressionBut those days are over, a thing of the pastNow that freedom rings, this time it’s gonna lastGonna finally get what I deserveGonna take a sharp turn off the interstateGonna share my load on the service roadGonna keep it nice and legalEven use my directional signalsSignal my intensions, got nothing to hideNot looking for love, I’m gonna give you a rideYou’re gonna do the right thingCause you owe it to me#neosuburban
Not My Problem Arthur J Fischman 2025-08-15 | This song from Neosuburban is another one about how in the process of getting older I find that I no longer give a fuck about what anyone thinks about what I am doing. I find that the toughest things that life has to offer can be blown of as simply not my problem.Drums are from Donnie Robertson. Lyrics are written with help from Rebecca Birmingham Montgomery and go as follows.You may be concerned but it’s not my problemYou want to make me understand but it’s not my problemYou may feel like it’s your responsibilityBut frankly it’s not my problemI used to care it’s trueBut now I realize there’s nothing to doI pass the torchI give it upwho might give a (fuck)I let it gorelease my gripNow I realize that it’s all about meMy responsibility for what little joy in my life yet to beI can no longer defend your revolutionary agenda My calendar is no longer free You may be concerned but it’s not my problemYou want to make me understand but it’s not my problemYou may feel like it’s your responsibilityBut frankly it’s not my problemNow I realize that it’s all about meMy responsibility for what joy in my life yet to beI can’t defendSeditious actsTimeNo longer freePlease let it goRelease your gripI don't want to hear, nothin' from youDon't care to understand your point of viewWhat if I don’t, and what if I doAmerica is falling, koo koo kachooIs there a way we can come togetherEven though we're not birds of a featherI've lost all patience, squandered too much timeI'll leave all the worries of the world behindOn someone else's dime, politics and crimesRead the fine lines of what I am saying?Its not my problem and I'm not playingCut me some slack is all I’m sayingYou may be concerned but it’s not my problemYou want to make them understand, but it’s not my problemYou may feel like it’s your responsibilityBut frankly it’s not my problemWe’ve got nothing in common, no hard feelingsDon't beg my pardon, I couldn’t care lessYou are the problem an avalanche of entitlementComing down the mountain to land on my headNow I realize that it’s all about meMy responsibility for what little joy in my life yet to beI can no longer defend your revolutionary agenda My calendar is no longer free#neosuburban
Dont Spare The Change Arthur J Fischman 2025-06-21 | The latest from Neosuburban. There comes a point in your life when you wish that everything would stop changing or at least slow down a bit.Drum beats are from two places. @InfiniteDrumTracks gives us Slow Hard Rock Drum Track 60 BPM Simple Slow Rock Drum Beat (HQ,HD) for the majority of the 60 BPM song which can be found here. youtube.com/watch?v=z6ML63-RG0gFor the double time section for the second guitar solo I used @GuitarMapsDrumTracks and his beat Drive Rock Drum Track 120 BPM Drum Beat for Bass Guitar Backing Tracks Drum Beats Instrumental which can be found here. youtube.com/watch?v=-UedVZaZQYYLyrics are by Rebecca Birmingham Montgomery and are as follows.Try to never changeDon’t spare the changeStay just like you areNever feel obligated to changeResist all changeFear the need to changeLet it be the sameResist the urge to changeI want to hold on to this moment foreverNo social pressure to leave it all behindThe way your eyes look at me as we dance togetherLife stands still and our love is foreverSo many years have rolled byChasing myths of the beautiful lifeGrocery lists and flying kitesGetting lit, staying up all nightWorried about things that seem silly nowI don’t want to change, I don’t want to lose youSometimes you don’t share my point of viewYet we still find the magic of me and you Time is our enemyAs each second passes by we are hurdling towardBeautiful promises being realizedAnd then realizing the promises were a lie I don’t believe in some futurePulling me from this soft corner of nowI’m a version of me who still believesthat not becoming anything could be best somehow The sun rises in the east and sets in the westNothing changes from the orbit that the Earth knows bestIf she’s got it right then how come why don’t weAccept the moments as they come, not fighting currents in the seaI’ve had my day, change is a major distractionI’m not important to the world, wasting time gives me no satisfaction All I want to be is no one important at allI’m not changing anything, but I'm living life honestlyI crave predictablyIn an old frayed sweaterCovered with the stains of timeBreathing in the moments#neosuburban
Chinese Coffee Arthur J Fischman 2025-04-07 | Hot off the French presses of Neosuburban. It's about global regions losing their traditional flavor marketing advantages.For drums I turned to @GuitarMapsDrumTracks as usual.Here are the lyrics.In the city's endless spin Faces blur and names give in We chase the highs, the lows, the same Cause in the end it's all a gameLife’s illusions fraught with flavorMarking time with tastes to savorRegions claim their unique richnessFortified and more deliciousIn the land of milk and honeyOver time we hear the moneyFlavor’s great but so is savingWe’ll travel far for what we’re cravingMaybe I was narrow mindedSteer my wallet and I’ll be guidedOpen my eyes and let me seeA global goodness potpourriSo let's sip Chinese Coffee, rich and bold With a flavor that never grows old Paired with Lichtenstein baked beans And Vietnamese Fine cheese We savor discount goodness Like some bargain hunting disease. But amidst all of the flavors A whisper is heard from the Colombian CoffeeSpeaking with the utmost urgencyLeading a counter insurgencyIt rallies French champagneand Peruvian potatoes It’s a culinary coupTo reclaim its throne of regal brew But alas the revolutionis doomed from the start In the age of substitutionOriginality has lost its heart The people shrug and they say, "What's the difference anyway As long as it's cheap and tastyWe can go our merry way”We'll indulge in Icelandic mangossweet and divine And Bhutanese marmaladea flavor so sublime And though the memories lingerof coffee's frothy past We will toast to the futurewith a taste that will surely last So let's sip Chinese Coffee, rich and bold With a flavor that never grows old Paired with Lichtenstein baked beans And Vietnamese Fine cheese We savor discount goodness Like some bargain hunting disease. #neosuburban
Pile Driver Arthur J Fischman 2025-01-19 | From Neosuburban our first single that could be described as a bit Southern Rocky. The lyrics are right from the Southern Rock playbook, about a woman who crushes your soul, yada, yada, yada, please pass the beer nuts.Drums are from @JimDooley, a very simple drum beat that I cut up in a couple of places to take advantage of a little fill inside. The track is here youtube.com/watch?v=TTE-xOuZDyg&t=13s The lyrics are as follows.I’ve been told a thing or two about youGonna make me bleed, gonna make me needGonna loose control while you steal my soulI don’t care what they sayGonna dip my wick anywayNot scared about what some people sayPiling the bodies in her wakeTonight might be my lucky breakHow can I feel so good about this mistakeTenderize me, hammer me downSlap me like a piece of chickenShe gets close to me and my pulse does quickenTake me into your smothering armsLove me with those vicious charmsI’ll give you all I’ve got to giveYet still you’ll beg for moreWrap me up with a bowLeave me frozen in the snowGive me hope then let it goWho knew that love could feel so goodI’m stuck in the mudShe drains out my bloodShe’s a pile driverUh huhLost in the woodsStripped of my goodsShe’s a pile driverUh huhNot who she seemsFeeding on dreamsShe’s a pile driverUh huhGets what she needsLeaves you lost in the weedsShe’s a pile driverUh huhI didn’t know how lost I wasI could not read the signsI ignored the things that hurt meMy road was paved with minesI lost my inner compassI abandoned all my friendsI turned my back on familyI could not make amendsWhat used to matter don’t make much senseMy spirit guide can’t pay the rentCan’t turn the page cause I sold the bookI haven’t got a centAll I can see is straight aheadThe voices are talking which I ignoreMany try to save me But I show them all the doorMy heart feels tired, my head confusedI’m guilty of the crimes accusedThe more I sleep the less I restOh Lord I’ve been misusedI’m guilty of the things I desireI freely walk into the fireEveryone can see the danger but meI’m singing to the choirEveryone knows a thing or two about youGonna make me bleed, gonna make me needGonna loose control while you steal my soulI don’t care what they sayGonna dip my wick anywayNo interest in what some people sayStepping round the bodies in her wakeTonight will make my body acheI feel so good about this mistakeWrap me up, make it a showLeave me fearing the powers belowGive me hope then let it goLove don’t feel so good#neosuburban
Too Wound Up Arthur J Fischman 2024-12-28 | Neosuburban's take on being too wound up to unwind in our crazy, modern world. It all began from a great drum track from @dimsunk which can be found here called Funky Drumming. youtube.com/watch?v=tahvdBsHvLYHere's the lyrics by Rebecca with some stuff from me.The older that I getThe less I seem to findChasing dreams I can't rememberLeaving hopes behindI'm wasting time because I’m chasing after timeWhile it slips away unseenIt’s never what it seemsThe one thing that I hope,That I’ll find before the endIs some peace withinAnd a way to make amendsI’m learning to let goOf the things I can’t controlStepping through the unknownFinding answers, still aloneIn the quiet of the nightI think of all I might have missedAnd wonder if the life I seekIs something I’ve dismissedWas there more to love Than grabbing some free kissWas there more to living Than losing all of thisIn the end It all adds upThe total counts for moreSomething means everythingBut I wasn’t keeping scoreAnswers without questionsI’ve forgotten…Everything I've knownOr thought that I knewLightening never in the same placeAnd the sky is blueBut lightning strikes a single spotAgain and againThe sky has many colorsLike the flags we must defendThe stressExcessBuilt upPressureIntenseBlackmailThe feeling’s badBecause it absolutely never ever goes awayToo Wound Up To UnwindToo Wound Up To UnwindToo Wound Up To UnwindToo Wound Up To UnwindTurn the hands back on the clockWe will make some timeWhat I thought was real,Was just a fleeting dreamEvery word I speakNot a one uniqueThe thunder roars, a deafening soundWe haven’t got a chanceA mountain moves, a river bendsLife forces us to danceEverything I know is a weight that pulls me downWhat do you seeI think that I might drownLost in the adventureI blame it on the painWas it for a purposeOr do I die in vain#neosuburban
Shadows In The Sky Arthur J Fischman 2024-11-25 | The latest from Neosuburban. It's about UFOs.Lyrics are as follows.Flying because I have to trySearching for shadows in the skyChasing the truth just out of sightNo need to ask, I have the rightFlyingI’m in controlTargetMy focus wholeBlindnessTraining kicks inMindlessProgrammed to winWhat am I fighting forWhat am I defendingThe line between doubt and duty keeps on bendingIn the silence, in the noise the answers fade away,I keep searching for the lightGot to fight another dayAfterburning interceptionWrecking havoc on perceptionKeep it simple, fly the missionAsk forgiveness, not permissionLike a hallway in my dreamsConscious mind is all askew I want to talk about itBut there’s no one to talk toAnd suddenly I’m all aloneFlying circles in the skyGot no target acquisitionMotivation short supplyI become the targetNo longer am awareAnd the noise on my radio Floating up into the airFloating so free, high in the skyLike a balloon drifting so highThere is no future, is no pastThere is no slow there is no fastWe fly together all as oneLight as a shadow on the sunTime stands still. Time moves away.Nowhere to go. Nowhere to stay.Calling for confirmationThat you are still on missionTrying to get my signalThrough to youAcknowledge my voice and transmissionYou’re not allowed to go off missionYour brothers need you nowYou owe it to your countryFlying because I have to trySearching for shadows in the skyChasing the truth just out of sightNo need to ask, I have the right#neosuburban
Hold On Arthur J Fischman 2024-10-07 | This song come out of an idea from Johnson Administrations most recent Barndo sabbatical. It can be found at 43:35 at the following link. youtu.be/Q_YL7WzGCI4The killer drums on the track are from @ArnaudKrakowka and are called Easy Metal Drum Track 70 BPM and can be found at this link youtube.com/watch?v=3zBS5dUxgWII normally write lyrics with Rebecca but she was busy with some real life stuff so I worked with Meta AI assistant on Instagram who I have named Lyra. She did a great job of listening to my suggestions and then listing complimentary suggestions that I used to mix and match content until I came up with what follows.Another day now stands before meMore decisions I must makeDoes this justify my existenceIs today my lucky breakShould I make time for this nonsenseAre there many to forsakeDid I ask too many questionsCount the bodies in my wakeThere was a timeWhen I could laugh it offTurn the other cheek Turn my head and coughTrusting in the processSupported by the truthNow the days are shorterNo longer in my primeLosing motivationCaring is a crimeThink that I’ll just walk awayHaven’t got the timeSave your selfCan’t succeed in lifeWithout a way to failKill your dreamsTry to stay aliveAnd never play their gamesPretending to look forJustificationInternet searchingInvestigationLeave it all behindEvacuationChecking out fromCivilization (Finish section with guitar solos)Another moment begs my presence More consequences to createIs this the source of my persistence Is this my moment to escape Participation in the chaosRedemption for those yet still awakeDid I seek too many answersMend the hearts of those I breakSearching for paths toSanctificationDigging through dustyDocumentationBreaking away From desperationReneging on my obligations#neosuburban

I Just Keep Going Arthur J Fischman 2024-08-23 | The latest from Neosuburban. There was a previous test mix but that version is gone and this is the replacement. This is a long song because we had a lot to say. It's in a way a synopsis of my life. Franky it was intimidating so I didn't know where to start. Musically I was inspired by the heavy metal performance of Gojira at the Olympic opening so I took my trusty kit Telecaster and tuned it down to C standard to get that low, growling tone. I used that for the verses (musical part 2). For the bridges (musical part 3). I used my semi-hollow Ibanez Art Core guitar in a standard E tuning. For the choruses (musical part 1), I used my Casio Rock Organ sound with my Seagull acoustic guitar.For drums, I think that I downloaded like thirty 90 BPM drum parts from a wide variety of contributors. When all was said and done, I was surprised to learn that the two drum parts that I used had both come from @GuitarMapsDrumTracks. One was five years old titled Hard Rock Drum Beat 90 BPM Bass Guitar Backing Drum Track 125 youtube.com/watch?v=uEvPneiVzOg The other was four years old titled Chill Groove Drum Track - 90 BPM - Drum Tracks For Bass Guitar, Instrumental Drum Beats 🥁 331 youtube.com/watch?v=w1ZTp-nAv6kI struggled to get these beats to match up sonically, but I'm pretty happy with the result. The changeover occurs at 4:15.The lyrics were written mostly by Rebecca who was given my first bars of the chorus as a seed for her work. Those lines are, "I want to put it all in perspective. I want to sum it all up. I want to make sense of it all, but I can’t, so I just keep going."I want to put it all in perspectiveI want to sum it all upI want to make sense of it allBut I can’t, so I just keep going Want to believe in the futureDon’t want to be stuck in the pastI want to think that it all somehow mattersBut I don’t, so l just keep going What will the computers doWhen there is no one left to talk toNo reason to even speakBecause it’s all been said before Nothing left to doBecause it’s all been done beforeWe might as well all go homeBut me I’ll just keep going What to sayabout kids todayNever gone to collegeNever bought a home Never found lifeNever had a spouseDon’t have a clueSo you play games in your room Do I still own that Cadillac?No, but I rememberDriving down to the KeysIn the nineteen seventies America was DisneylandAnd we enjoyed the rideIt was a glorious timeAnd we had a lot of timeAnd now the world is in chaosJust the same but differentNow I’m streaming wavesGetting lost at raves Was a slave of bad decisionsbrainwashed to believe your opinionsI wanted to be able to speakwithout being ridiculed and dismissed. I’m used to livingWith ever changing sceneryI’m rolling with the timesAdapting to the changing climes Turning up the heatI don’t feel a thingJust launch another questIn a bulletproof vest And things that used to bug meDon’t phase me much at allI’m rolling with the punchesAs I watch the kingdoms fall And I’m good with it, all of itIt doesn’t matter much to meI am in a good placeWith all that uncertainty Just a bunch of emojisAnd helpful QR CodesAbbreviate to communicateBut not to understand Just like that we need to a million to retireKeeps us working until we dieCan’t count on nothing but painAnd we can’t get back the time Another day of target practiceAnd celebrity mass shootersMass extinction natural disastersWho will protect us from the looters I used to go to hear live musicPassing a joint between strangersLeave my phone on all the timeAnd answer right away My car was a right of passageNow it’s unobtainableWith the cost of insuranceAnd electric cars Most people don’t need them anywayWe can work from home everydayBut we can’t discuss things anymoreBecause everyone’s right and keeping score I predict that the futureWill be nothing like the pastOnly everything that changesChanges nothing in me I don’t recognize the faceStaring at me in the mirrorI’ve been around too longI know the end is getting nearer Is this what it means to be successfulOf student loans instead of homesGet a job so the banks can have your cashCashing in on your dreams I want to put it all in perspectiveI want to sum it all upI want to make sense of it allBut I can’t, so I just keep going#neosuburban

This is played over a Neosuburban song in work called Lazy.

Soul Dust Arthur J Fischman 2024-04-23 | This song started with my desire to play an odd time signature. I started looking for something in seven and came across this beat which is 7/4 Progressive Rock/Metal Odd Time Groove (Drum Loop 100 BPM) youtube.com/watch?v=bGr1f9x1bIc from @dirtydrumtracks . The beat is really in 7/8, but no need to tell him. He knows.The song was originally released as an instrumental which can be found here youtu.be/Pq1LIkyNvyMMoby sang about how we're all made of star dust, but that leaves out the soul. That's where this song picks up. Lyrics written with Rebecca Birmingham Montgomery.I thinkI feelI amI startI End Life SpanBreathe In Breathe outHave timeYour Touch Feels LikeSoul DustLast night I was in your dreamWe were in a shadow streamDancing on celestial groundNo gravity could hold us downColored lights streaked cross the skyNever asked the reason whySharing an ethereal kissFeeling happy, touching blissWhy am IWho am IWhy am I Who am IWhy am IWho am IWhy am I Who am IThe sun shines brighterThe Darkness seems lighterWhen you are nearEverything is so clearHand in hand we walk through the mistStardust in starlight. Big bang from a kissSoul junkStar dustYour touchOur lustLike lovers lost inside a dreamOur thoughts inside celestial streamsSunbeams dance with cosmic dustOur thoughts surreal and soon combustWe are so different than the restHopes and thoughts and what is bestFeel what is true, know what is thereYet can’t be measured or be fairHear meKnow meIn timeSoul dustHeart beatSpace time Breathe In Breathe outAdd timeYour Touch Feels LikeSoul Dust Like birthday candles on a cakeOnly here for a short timeWe light up for a little whileWe talk and laugh and often smileWe part the darkness with our willWe mark the passage of our timeWe set the goals and grade our driveThat’s how we know we are alive#neosuburban
Total Eclipse 2024 - Lindale, Texas Arthur J Fischman 2024-04-20 | Mo and Lovey (a.k.a. Art and Rebecca) return to documenting a total solar eclipse. We can't believe that it's been nearly seven years since our Carbondale, Il eclipse. Follow this link to watch that one. youtu.be/VieHyal97X8It was overcast this year as it was in Carbondale, but just like that time, we go lucky enough for the clouds to break just enough to see it. Music by Neosuburban a song that we haven't even named yet. Will update this page when we do. #neosuburban

DiGiorno Inferno Arthur J Fischman 2024-04-14 | This started out as a Johnson Administration jam where we couldn't all agree on the timing of the changes. But, the last three minutes of Todd Waters' drums were pretty cool, so I threw everything out except for the drums, recorded a version of what we were playing, wrote some lyrics with Rebecca Birmingham Montgomery and just like that we all get to buy cribs. Lyrically it's equating a relationship to fast food, delicious but unhealthy. Here are the lyrics.Hey, where you think you're goin'?You're like a tidal wave in my oceanMass destruction is your only functionUnnatural disaster in slow motionYour life is like a frozen Pizza, thin crust with no tasteNot enough ingredientsyour life is a total wasteYou’re just a DiGiorno infernoLike some hot pocket trapped inside my headLike a bison with feathersCheese queso may be delicious but that does not make it nutritious The world does not owe you shitYou need to get over itJust turn around and find the doorTop of the ninth and you know the scoreYour life is like a frozen pizza, thin crust with no tasteNot enough ingredients, your life is such a wasteYou’re just a DiGiorno infernoLike some hot pocket trapped inside my headLike a bison with feathersCheese queso may be delicious but that does not make it nutritious#neosuburban

Glitch Arthur J Fischman 2024-03-26 | The latest from Neosuburban about how we're all living today inside flawed software. A glitch. Lyrics from Rebecca. Drums from Donnie Robertson. Everything is played on the following: electric guitar is my Yamaha RGX A2, acoustic guitar is from Seagull, bass is my Steinberger Maple 5-string, piano and organ is on my Casio WK-1300, and the harmonica, from my cheap Chinese set, is an SX Blues in the key of A.Caught up in the staticBroken toys in my atticThere’s a glitch in the systemFucking up my biorhythmThere’s a bitch in my computerShe’s like a data Roto-RooterWith a twisted melodyGot the ability to rewrite my codeShe’s gonna flip my switchI don’t know how to stop the bitch From dancing with the ghost in my machineI can see her through the cracks in my screenIs that her voice or the echoes in my headAll of this just fills me with dreadMaybe I’d be better off deadCaught up in the staticI don’t mean to be dramaticBut when looking for the truthIt’s like a needle in a haystackAll of this was a common mistakeJust a simple twist of fateInformation can’t be gleaned from broken down machinesPrograms have been altered. Truth as been slaughtered How can I competeWhen there’s nobody left to meetI’m living inside a glitchI’m in love with a CatfishAll I hear is staticEvery day I become more erraticTime is folding on meLike some caterpillar origami (01:36)I’m living in a glitchProgrammed by some bitchI’m surrounded by your staticI’m becoming more erraticThe walls keep closing InIt all starts to beginTo transform me into something less a manGarbage in makes garbage outPlease use the right containerDo what’s right and put me on the curbVirtual reality is far beyond my graspMicrochips inside my brain, you’ve gone too farI want to go back in time before the InternetStop listening to me becauseI’m talking to myself – YEAH#neosuburban

Venus Born Arthur J Fischman 2024-03-19 | Here is the latest from Neosuburban. I used a new-to-me drummer for this one @DrumSkin. I was looking for a video game sort of beat and ended up doing a sort of show tune number. His drums Hip Hop #4 Drum Loop - 140 bpm can be found here. Please check it out and subscribe. youtube.com/watch?v=nRgEMtPaWGII used an animation of the original painting. It can be found here. youtube.com/watch?v=MQmiL2cP2GgFor the artwork in the video I used this, The 100 Best Paintings by Painters posted in 2017 | LearnFromMasters (HD) youtube.com/watch?v=A__rjrebeXc&t=348sThe main guitar that I'm using on this is of all things a six-string, short-scale cigar box guitar that is tuned to an F# chord. I'm using my newly repaired Casio synthesizer for piano, celeste and organ tones and using my Jimmy Wallace resto mod guitar for the lead at the end. The lyrics are mostly from Rebecca and they are below.The god of the winds, Zephyr, and the breeze Aura are in tight embraceGently driving Venus towards the shore with their breath She is standing naked on a golden shining shell.My love lifeIs all out of whack Like a long lost poemFrom Jack KerouacLike a complicated songFrom Burt BacharachLike the B52sSinging Love ShackI'm not trying to make thingsHarder than they need to beBut all that I really wantIs just for you to love meWhere are you hiding the keyTo open your heart?How long can I stay awayBefore you tear us apartWherever she turns Those amorous eyesThe air becomes serene I remember the dayThat I saw you on the beachLike the birth of VenusYou were out of my reachI could not get youOff my mindSuch a vision of beauty, I knew right awayThat you must be mineWe would be togetherFor the rest of my lifeI need to see youI long to hold youHold you foreverNever let goNever let goFirst there was nothingThen there was somethingWhere did it come fromLove is the questionLove is the answerI thought that I found loveCan’t figure you outThe more I think of youThe more I am in doubt I pray for loveBut it’s all in vainLife without youIs perpetual pain Is it my faultI’ll never confessMy love lifeIs a chaotic mess I thought that I’d found loveBut it was only a songI finally decidedLove is just a conShe was seated upon the grass having woven a garland out of as many flowers as nature had ever createdI can’t trust the lyricsOr believe in every lineMy heart may be brokenWith nothing but timeTime to decide All about my own love lifeIt may be out of whackI need to start writingTo get back on the beatGet back on my feetSomeday I will findA love that is trueUntil then I'll keep singing The blues about youThe blues about youI ponder what’s the meaningIs this even realI hear the words your sayingIt does not feel realNothing feels real#neosuburban
