This was going to be the final track for the SOULSIGMA CD, until I received permission from the original songwriter to include a cover of one of his songs on it as well. However, this is not the Rock Stars mix that will appear on the CD, this is the original Still in School mix. UATV subscribers, please remember that the paywall goes up in one week.
I read every line you’re drawing in the dark
Every deviation screaming across the chart
But knowing isn’t saving, seeing isn’t being there
I’m drowning in the patterns inside of your despair
The numbers never lie, and yet they can’t repair
What’s breaking in the spaces behind your empty stare
Inspired, of course, by William Gibson’s IDORU.
I’m not quite as out of control as you might think. I’m just experimenting with some new techniques to accomplish different things, including a few things you’re not supposed to be able to do, with 4.5+. This is a new model I’ve created that gives a different sound than my previous models; I used to remix CHIBA CITY BLUES with less techno, more rock, and it’s pretty promising based on the Shadows Ride mix, although the third verse might need to be tweaked for flow.
Lost in the sprawl of endless night
Where shadows ride their dreams
Hunting the scores to make it right
Nothing here is what it seems.
I genuinely, but in respect mistakenly, thought THE LONG AND LONESOME SKYWAY was my musical magnum opus. I could not have been more wrong. And you probably thought that the last thing the world needed was an authentic 80’s New Wave cover of the old folksong GOD’S GONNA CUT YOU DOWN, but you, too, could not have been more wrong.
I think I can guarantee anyone who likes 80’s music is going to absolutely love GOD’S GONNA CUT YOU DOWN (Dancing on Your Grave mix).
If you’re interested in the technical details, they’re explained at AI Central, but let’s just say this started with a cassette tape from 1989 that we all thought was lost long ago.
The Hold the Line mix is a significantly updated remix of one of the first songs I wrote after Suno was released. I think you’ll agree it was well worth revisiting and bringing the audio quality up to date.
The battle raged til nightfall
Forty thousand died that day
The Venetians were avenged
And the blood-debt was repaid
The heroes praised the Virgin
For their victory at sea
200 strong remembered
As long as Christendom is free!
And the seas flowed red
Amidst the countless drowning dead
The sailors bled
The seas flowed red
Seas of blood!
Seas of blood!
The new Midnight Rider mix of GOD’S GONNA CUT YOU DOWN is also up on UATV for subscribers.
I suppose you might consider it a modern psalm of sorts given how many of them are devoted to God crushing His enemies. Anyhow, I had the impression there might be a Christian or two in our community who could use the reminder and the encouragement in these times of ceaseless Clown World retardery and incessant satanic inversion.
There is also the Cradle to Cavalry version of THE WORD DESCENDED.
On the long and lonesome skyway
Where the broken vessels go
Black hole martyrs lead the way
To worlds we’ll never know
In the seashell, in the circuit
Every fragment holds the whole
On the long and lonesome skyway
Lost between machine and soul
UPDATE: I didn’t like the guitar solo and coda of the initial version, which felt like it was tacked on because it quite literally was, so I remade it from that point. It’s now considerably more epic, with not one, but two guitar solos.
I’m not going to lie. It feels like I finally wrote my Orpheus, which is something I’ve wanted to do for more than 30 years. That may not mean anything to anyone else, but if you know, you know.
Lost in the sprawl of endless night
Where shadows ride their dreams
Hunting the scores to make it right
Nothing here is what it seems

I found this old mix of THE WORD DESCENDED that I’d forgotten I did back in December, and was frankly kind of blown away by it. I think it’s going to have to go on the Soulsigma CD. Anyhow, it’s up on UATV for the subscribers. If you’re feeling down at all over the Espstein coverup, I think this will prove a salutary reminder that it doesn’t matter what they do, because they will never win.
DISNEY SOUVENIR from Vibe Patrol is now available on Spotify, iTunes, and YouTube. And, of course, on Unauthorized. It’s pure, unmitigated candy pop, but it’s certainly catchy.
