Weird music for weird weirdos who are weird.
Take a look at that address up there in the address bar. What a nightmare! Do yourself a favor and bookmark it! ++++++++++ We humans tend to get attached to things. We enjoy feeling certain ways and doing certain things, and we do everything within our power to feel those ways and do those things more often. This is perfectly natural, but it does carry with it some dire implications. Specifically, the crafty strategies that we devise in order to approach this and avoid that wind up taking us in circles. Our lives start to become focused on these formulas rather than the desired states of being that had inspired them. Ultimately, we find ourselves trapped in labyrinths of obsolete pleasantries, frustrated with, though largely unwilling to admit, the fact that they no longer work. From here, we spiral down into a profound inflexibility characterized by obsessive attention to impertinent minutia, growing increasingly isolated and at odds with others in the world around us. This in turn leads to all forms of violent oppression and insanity. Reconsiderate addresses this issue by confronting the furthest extrapolations of these "obsolete pleasantries". What he uncovers are unanticipated (or acknowledged) "bumps in the road", repressed nightmares that are just itching to find their way to the surface. In these moments of confrontation, Reconsiderate's intentions are that the dysfunctional strategies be recognized as short-sighted and finite miscalculations, deserving only to be purged as we "go back to the drawing board". As such, Reconsiderate is best understood as a force that supports our spiritual and psychological evolution, even at the expense of our comfort. The word itself, "reconsiderate", can be understood as an adjective that means "able and willing to adapt or change". It is rightly applied to anyone who understands that every aspect of his being-- from his most lofty ideals down to his most basic assumptions about life-- is subject to infinite scrutiny and is eventually destined to be torn down, razed to clear space for What Will Follow. Reconsiderate folk know when it is their time to go, and resist not at all. They work with the "little death", aware that some immutable aspect of their soul survives it, and that only this immortal facet of the soul is worth their time and attention in the first place. Why get attached to anything else??

Story behind the song
Thought up some of the lyrics while driving around one day. I felt like they had some good potential, so I went home to start writing and recording a full-on song including them. After I finished writing it, when the dust settled and I regained consciousness, I said: "What the... that came out of me?? Weird."
Lyrics
What am I doing? What am I feeling? What information are my senses revealing? Am I detecting any bit of the drama that has me addicted to wearing all my bodily armor? Am I ready to face in the light of the day the memories that I have buried and repeatedly played? I am afraid. What'll happen to me? How can I survive it? I'm already half in the grave. (c) 2008 Reconsiderate

Wow.........really good job on the vocals loud and clear This has a certain direction and it just kinda grabs you and keeps you. Again great lyric job.I know how hard it is to squeeze many words in a small amount of time and make them audable and understood. Like the bass and high key interaction,they compliment each other well

I was in a bad mood when I came home. This was very uplifting to me for some reason. I have a new song up were I'm trying a faster darker style called Oh Really Sniper. Probablly not your cup o tea but I thought I'ld drop a mention. Hope everythings looking up on your end since I haven't heard from you in a while.
