I contemplated not sharing this, the dry sorrow, anguish and dark undertone comes from a very real place.. Before anyone worries, on my behalf, this was born from some intense physical pain about 3 in the morning, nothing more.. It was a rather quick song, perhaps 45 minutes in the making..
As I began thinking deeper of some of the meaning, some of my thoughts that I play with often lead to a place of believing this is a "prison planet" of sorts.. I wont expand on that, I think most of you get it.. So as I look around the world, or what this world has chosen to show us..The amount of suffering that is occuring is insurmountable. So this song is for you "world" and the power structures that abide. I feel a lot of us are fed up with it, and enough is enough, and we wish to "be free of you" ..
I want everyone/anyone who has read this far, to know, I am always the optimist, though I flirt with such moods of melancholy and this one being, I am not really sure.. I am wired to look for those smallest tangents of faith and hope..So yeah, the pain is real and scary, and somewhat unbearable, I am litteraly sitting here crying from it trying to finish typing. I have opted out of using any narcotic pain medications, due to a previous 21 year addiction that ended in 2018. Of which 16 of those I not once touched a musical instrument.. I love the clarity of mind now, and I can not bear going back. I also love where I have been, and the experiences I had along the way. Life is a freeway with many on and off ramps, the key, I believe is knowing what exit you're supposed to take. .. In ending, say a prayer for all those people we do not know, the nameless ones, the silent ones.... I will be fine, because I found my freedom, and I feel like fighting for everyone elses rather than lying down from pain and being silenced.
So yeah I know, some heavy floyd vibes.. lol .. I cant escape it
#triggerwarning
"Goodbye cruel world
this is the end of the show.
I sing to you now
last of my songs
that I want you to know
how I feel-
Goodbye cruel world
I know what you do
so this is my song for you
lost in time
last in line
when all I want
to be free-of-you...//"

![The Stand ↨ Feat The Mystic Kevs ← An Original Song
The Stand↨ a collaborative work with The Mystic Kevs and Wally Groove Cricket ]Todd Pattison - Masquerade[ and first seen on the Metal Head Hippies Month of Metal .. The Mystic Kevs consist of Kev Lynn Music and KKungDrum.. The original piece of music can be found on both the respective channels..
It was hard to resist not adding a little flavor to Kevs 12 string ethereal soundscape and Kevins driving drum beat..
Since the consensus was trying to make it fit with in a progressive metal genre, The lyrics had to carry that sense of urgency that one might feel in such music.. Sorry about the F bomb if anyone may have been offended.. I did debate with myself as to keeping it , but in the end, I felt, in context it was apropos.. So enjoy this dive into a dystopian soundscape
Thanks to Kev and Kevin for letting me run with their piece of music and to Jeff, well for being Jeff
