The story of the beginning, aka the start of our Solar System. Sort of a backlash against religious beliefs, Science puts all those holy thoughts to silence. First track to include my vocals into the work.

Experimental Psychedelic Trip-Hop Indie Rock. Enough Said.
My Name is Matt Tankersley, I'm a musician and have a disorder known as schizoaffective disorder(A Cross of Schizophrenia, Bi-Polar, and Panic Disorder). My mental illness and it's effects on my life and lifestyle have formed the music that I make and the music I listen to, a mirage of notes and noises to tweak the mind into finding it's one self. This is my music.... From the ashes of all the cigarettes I smoked while listening to Indie records full of sounds that only a disturbed mind would enjoy, but not the mind that scares people, the mind that loves to much. This Music is for me and any of those who've lived with what I have and don't have. Well the band is in it's 3rd stage of line-up changes, originally formed as DestinedForDirt back in the Winter of 2005 in Matt Tankersley's Upstairs Aparment, but this time it's back to the old school originals. We're thinking the band is going to be called Apagenrethetic at this point, it's meaning... that you'll have to figure out yourself. Harley Adams has rejoined the band again, and is finally ready to start doing the thing full on. So we're back where we started only way further along musically and in the creative process. With the addition that we finally have mic's to record tracks with, and Matt Tankersley working on synth bass and drums. We're ready to get this thing going. If anyone is interested in being the bassist or drummer just contact us. But things weren't always this way.... (Dramatic Effect) The Destined for Dirt project in it's 2nd reincarnation, with Josh Bryant, failed due to creative differences and also because I went back to West Virginia. So much for that little period of jamming. In the begining we had an idea, and shit happened that seperated Matt and Harley musically, but the shit was fake, like the world we live in, and the way most people act. And now, the idea is something that is more than just an idea, it's a feeling. Our Feeling. In the end, it's music, our music... If you don't understand it, you may never, or maybe it would just take a little time. It's Psychedelic Indie, Trip Rock, the way the indie bands that influenced it sounded to us. If you like it, please support us by downloading some songs and buying some cd's. All cd's come hand autographed! Who knows how much those will be worth later on? Due to lack of more recording equipment and a mixer, we're suffering. Please help us out buy support the music, email us and tell us what you think, buy some songs to help the equipment fund, and help this crazy little project prosper.

Story behind the song
This song was recorded on a microcassette recorder one night when I was drunk. The song, I wrote quite some time back, just one of the many songs that I had yet to record. I grew up in an athiest family, so we believed in Science over fiction novels, this song is based upon my reaction to those who chose to believe in something that isn't tangible and has yet to be proven, and also the idea of our solar system. In all actuallity the only place where elements can form is in the core of a star, thus all the elements that make up this earth and us, where formed from a star that shattered.
Lyrics
Who are you? Attempting to Please. You stutter when, It should come with ease. Is it those comforting thoughts? That Fuck it all up, Cause by now you should know what's up. Did you actually, Ever See, The Light? No. But your worshipping, Will all your might. And For Me, It's harder to believe, In a Fiction Novel, Seems Niave. We are mearly matter, From a star that shattered. A small pinpoint in the universe, For you that thought only makes it worse. Cause fact over fiction is science, And it puts all those holy thoughts to silence. I'm only worried about today, Tomoorow will come it's way. Living life in fear of the end, Is hard for me to comprehend. Wasteful and half assed, I'm not going to live in the past. Everything that you could have known(Been Shown), From the plants out earth has grown...
