PsychoVoyager Started out with a rhythm inspired by Keyop's voice from Battle of The Planets, one of three English versions of Kagaku Ninja Tai Gatchaman. It was said by someone (I forget who) that Keyop spoke jibberish because in the Japanese original, he (Jinpei) was a foul mouthed little bastard. I speak very, very, very little Japanese, but I'm not sure there are proper curse words in Japanese. Also, I've later learned that the English versions of this show paid absolutely no attention to the original scripts, choosing instead to create whole new stories based on the visuals. None of the above have anything to do with the song, however, and my rhythm is probably as much Ricochet Rabbit as it is Keyop. The song was inspired by the weird feelings I had prior to a recent nightmare and also the creepiness I felt as I was emailing a friend about it, though I'd remembered almost nothing of it. I looped some of the basic parts of the rhythm, but recorded through others. The chorus lyrics were recorded during the second chorus, then copied and pasted to the first and the last, even before I'd finished writing the second verse. I was afraid of forgetting the melody. I realize that's a bad sign, but whatever. the words: enveloped in light as though I were aflame fiery cherubim banished in all but name terrible violence and evil with no shame a prisoner inside my mind a pawn in this game when i come back to what is real can i be sure when nightmare ends and day begins have i closed the door uncertainty consumes me and sprinkles me with fear an eye kept on shadow a weapon ever near my sanity in question though voices i don't hear what is true and what is false do i even care when i come back to what is real can i be sure when nightmare ends and day begins have i closed the door Sound Ardour, Audacity george@edshugeo.com http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ April 21st, 2006 00:03:52 edshugeo george isaacs G-Force bad dreams paranoia 2006-04-22 20:28:19 PsychoVoyagerWhenNightmareends
