You're being led along, but something does not feel right, you can't trust this person to guide the way, and yet, you've no choice but to follow, there's no turning back. As you round the corner, you see their true stripes, you're faced with the reality of your fate hanging on the precipice. The drums in your head keep steady rhythm as you battle against the building melody of your own demise.

Wind whistles, whipping at torn and tattered clothing on a forgotten line. A white shirt billows and waves like its surrendered to the elements, rewarded with alternating rounds of parching sun and mildewing dampness as it lives out the final hold of its thread's last sinews.

Bass and bumps rock the wheel wells of this song, thudding as it drives us along a winding road replete with all the rustic charm and scenery of a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Doesn't mean we can't still enjoy the ride, though, does it?

This song comes at you like a downed power line, jumping as the current flowing through it casts it dangerously toward any errant ankle. Sparking and sizzling with the threat of voltage, begging to be released into something soft and conductive, connecting the flow back to the ground.

The wind whips the circus tent's flaps hard and the ringleader rises before you with a look of mirth upon his face, his grin something sinister that bores deep into your soul. The ringleader commands this place and all its inhabitants, which now includes you.

Slum Run
Just around the corner lies something wholly unfamiliar, danger lies ahead and yet turning back is not an option, you are propelled into a world dripping with oddities and eccentricities. Carnivalesque and quirky, curiosity slaked and yet the tingle in your spine still tells you something isn't right here.

Piano forward piece expressing pensive yearning. Buried deep in the back of the mind, an echo of ancient longing and sadness creeps forward, forcing the hand, urging forward to fulfill an unresolved desire, to right a longstanding injustice.

Uptick by Zel Ascend

This song has a driving beat and a melodic flow that builds toward each chorus which provides a punchy refrain. Inspired by the rash of violent events that plague our society, this song is meant to be a response to that culture of weaponized angst and aggression, and offers a response saying that instead of doing things the way we've always been, we need to push hard to fight back with love and kindness.

Lyrics:
Are we primed to kill with kindness
Armed to the teeth with love and fairness
When will we play nice
Lock and load and slay with sweetness
Aim for the heart, uptick in solace
When will we play nice

Shot down
Let's weaponize love
Fire semi-automatic good
Lockdown
Unload rounds and rounds of love
From our high-capacity hearts

Can we shoot for greater goodness
Bulletproof peace, uptick compassion
When can we play nice
Sights high, we’ll rise above this
Our cold, dead hands still clutch benevolence
We're through playing nice

Shot down
Let's weaponize love
Fire semi-automatic good
Lockdown
Unload rounds and rounds of love
From our high-capacity hearts

Every day, everywhere, steady uptick, tick toll
Every day, everywhere, this is out of control

Are we primed to kill with kindness
Armed to the teeth with love and fairness
We're through playing nice

Shot down
Let's weaponize love
Fire semi-automatic good
Lockdown
Unload rounds and rounds of love
From our high-capacity hearts

Lost in the prime of our lives
Come on make my day
Lockdown
Your automatic thoughts and prayers won't cut it
Gotta uptick action now

Sparkle in the Sun by Zel Ascend

This song features ukulele and vocals, it is in 6/8 time and has a bouncy, peaceful flow and sweet melodies. It talks of finding something beautiful amidst the grotesque, plucking the gem from the muck and appreciating those shining yet fleeting moments of life.

Lyrics:
Sparkle in the sun like shards of glass
Superbly junked
Nothing’s ever truly perfect so
don’t let your life pass

Sing out to the moon like a cicada’s
piercing tune
Spent enough of life in dirt to have earned
To never be silent

Sometimes I see the world like it’s
A bank truck overturned
We’re dodging certain swift demise just to prize
some good luck from the breeze

Hold me in your arms like your warmth might
Spark me back to life
How can anybody dare to decide
what your love might look like

We’re that twinkle
Of headlights
In a fawn’s eyes
Before we collide

Still I think we’ll
Be alright
Should we survive
This wild ride

We have it in our power to be the
sickle or the flower
Reap what you have sown and sow new seeds
Of loving farther

Mustn’t get too glum to not see the
splendor in the scum
Stem the flooding flow of apathy, stop
and see some beauty

Unfastened by Zel Ascend

Featuring guitar, bass, drums and vocals, this song has a feel-good energy with a motivating message of letting loose and going for it. Life is too short to sit on the sidelines, we need to have fun with it and squeeze the most out of it, get unfastened, get feeling alright.


Lyrics:
Right now
Lose all sense of time
Somehow
Make it last all night
Live loud
Let yourself be free
Get wild
All you need, just smile and see

Get feelin' alright get a little outrageous tonight with you
Get feelin' just right, get ourselves unfastened tonight be true

Live now
Forget your worries, love
Let it out
Relax and rise above
Come along
Let's have a good time now
The night is young
Lose control and let it out

Get feelin' alright get a little outrageous tonight with you
Get feelin' just right, get ourselves unfastened tonight be true

Get feelin' alright get a little bit zealous tonight go wild
Get feelin' just right, get a-lost in our passion tonight, live loud

I know you’re what I’ve been looking for
And so I could never love you more

Right now
Lose all sense of time
Somehow
Make it last all night
Live loud
Let yourself be free
Get wild
All you need, just smile and see

Get feelin' alright get a little outrageous tonight with you
Get feelin' just right, get ourselves unfastened tonight be true
(Unfasten your senses, let passion flow through us)

Get feelin' alright get a little bit zealous tonight go wild
Get feelin' just right, get a-lost in our passion tonight, live loud
(Unfasten your senses, let passion flow through us)

Childlike wonder wages against the instinctual dormant disgust, to look or to look away, to gawk or flee, screaming. Forces eternally lingering within the back of your mind, shelved as a caution flag put away, rolled up, dusty and inherently never heeded. You creep closer to get a better view of memento mori though every ounce of your being is telling you to turn and run.

Piano forward piece that comes in slow and tentative and picks up the pace toward something plinking along in childlike joy, walking hand in hand across cobblestones to peek into the fountain, throw in a coin for luck, a wish that things will always stay as they are. Even as we grow, we want to keep this part of us intact, whole, innocent and untarnished. Protect this delicate flower from the forces that would see it turned to fertilizer.
