Decaying Orbit is an unorthodox, highly diverse & genre-splitting band from Texas led by their infamous front man Mike Ash.
Decaying Orbit is an experimental, unorthodox, highly diverse & genre-splitting band from Texas led by their infamous front man Mike Ash. "No, this music's not about that, it's not about sound quality, it's about passion." - Mike Ash. Decaying Orbit is produced by their label, Decaying Enterprises Productions and has released many studio albums since they formed in 2008, after the violent break up of the Psychedelic Rock band, Strangefire, of which Mike was the former front man. Decaying Orbit believes in unadulterated musical & creative freedom, Mike describes their music as a "cathartic purge" or "nervous break downs caught on tape.". The band believes that creating music is a sacred, spiritual and magical art form brought to them by the Muses, wraiths and demons hidden just beyond the veil between the worlds of the physical and spiritual realms. Decaying Orbit has traveled beyond the veil and into the realms of the spirits, only to reemerge, like a caterpillar from it's cocoon emerging as a beautiful butterfly, so does Decaying Orbit get reborn through the fire of their cacophonous tunage. The band believes in complete freedom of lifestyle, I.E. sexuality, religion, spirituality, drugs, manner of dress etc. They believe that music is an interstellar language that needs no translation to be understood by absolutely anyone. It's the passion behind the emotions found in the music that matters to Decaying Orbit, they believe that integrity is more important than fortune or fame. This is our Decaying Orbit & we do hope that you will N'Joy tha' show!!!!

Story behind the song
I first recorded this song in 2011 during the sessions for the Mike Ash album, "Product Of Environment". This song was basically a tribute to my grief over the suicide of my long-time best friend, Woody. A cathartic purge to say the least. In 2016 DrumnJon added his drums/percussion to the song, which gave the track a fuller sound overall, he kind of rounded out the rough edges with his beats. I Dedicate this jam to Woody's memory, I hope he's jammin' to my groove in the Summerland. Anyhoo, We really do hope that you N'Joy Way Back When.
Lyrics
sometimes back then, you counted your sins and turned away, from everything, you, it wasn't like that, I couldn't help it, it just happened and I just did it, and I wanted to know how, how it feels, but I regret it, I regret it I, why do I stare at the sun we shared? why do I wish someone was here? why can't anyone hear me? sometimes back then, you counted your sins, and turned away, from everything, it wasn't like that, it was different and I could stay... but anyways.... I don't remember if you could tell me why, all of the things that passed you by? why do I wish that you were here? I miss you, your voice is clear, ringing in my ears, I remember and I just want to forget you, and I could tell you if it's nothin', it's nothin', it's something else, I would tell you if it was something, I would tall you if it was nothin, else, back then, back then.... back then, you counted your sins and turned away, from everything, it wasn't like that, it was different, I was someone else, you were somewhere else, it wasn't like that it was different and we were someone else, we were somewhere under the radar.... I remember, but I just want to forget, I remember, but I just want to forget you.... (C)Decaying Enterprises 2017 All Lyrics By: Mike Ash
