lyrics and melody written by steven pacia:

if all of your fears are out tonight;
don’t open your windows,
don’t open your doors.
maybe he’ll wait on the balcony,
i don’t know.

come in here and make me high.
if you don’t get wild i won’t care.
some crowds they sing so merrily,
while others sigh.

all the kings horses and all the kings men,
they didn’t know Humpty had fallen again.
maybe he’s just off his therapy;
i don’t know.

come in here and make me high.
if you don’t get wild i won’t care.
some crowds they sing so merrily,
while others sigh.

if all of your fears are out tonight;
don’t open your windows,
don’t open your doors.
maybe he’ll wait on the balcony,
i don’t know.

Juliet was written by Steven Pacia and Javier Hernandez-Miyares.

The Pharos Lighthouse And The Nautical Song (Javier Hernandez-Miyares And Salvador Dali)

Posted in Art Rock, Co-Conspirators, Diana Vargas Trent, Javier Hernandez-Miyares, Music at 10:55 pm by mbumba

Illustration Of The Pharos Lighthouse By Salvador Dali

I’m floating on an open flame,

the Hercules are far behind…

i finally got the diaphanous vocal effect that i sought, and i didn’t have to hold my nose!
this is the final track template, and the final mix will appear on an orbscure fetish that i will release later this year. if you want one, let me know now.

Diana
my song begins this way:
i’m floating on an open flame,
the hercules are far behind.

Diana
if i only knew three chords,
i would have drowned before i got
to this place in our song.

Diana your coast is a mirage.
The light house keeper turned his tee vee off.
I’m Drinking sand from Zanzibar,
and your mermaid pinata hides your siren song.
I’m Listening.

Diana
when i learn how to sing.
my voice will reach you far away,
from this place that i’m in.

Diana your coast is a mirage.
The light house keeper turned his tee vee off.
I’m Drinking sand from Zanzibar,
and my demon pinata is a man of war.
I’m singing.

JHM plays guitar, rain stick, bells, voice, jangling keys, and mellotron.
The birds singing track was recorded at the end of the session at the break of dawn in Forest Hills NYC.
