OBQM is a solo studio project. I sing and play guitars and bass, keyboard sections, and programs drums in an attempt to weave dense sonic tapestries. All produc
After an acquaintance of mine died of a drug overdose in February 2010, I tried to use the moment to create a song based on the emotions, etc behind his death. This is the result.
Written in February 2010 after coming up with the intro main theme (the arpeggio which follows the more improv-y harmonic/chord part at the beginning).
Lyrics
Skipping along through all the daily rays
Of sunlight-esque joy radiating all day
Jubuliant lifetime daily, KHK
Let's go out for a joyride in the rain
Mundanity is somethings such a pain
Psycho Silby and Singin' in the Rain
Miles away from the mountain refrain
'Xuding a lifetime anew everyday
A life once lived is never forgot
Leaving all the imprints on us that can be wrought
A time well spent, a permanent stain
On all of the hearts that made a contact with him
A life once lived is never forgot
Permanent markings of a soul overshot
But now we must overcome
Billowing feeling from this source
As the sweetness runs through its course
Energized internal eyes dart
All cylinders pound, external part
Mechanical recliner inside
Motivates innocence to hide
Shelter yourself full from the sun
Let the world shame you and you're done
(Chorus)
What lies in the ether? Ever yonder? Beyond sight
The question beckons an answer, such a cancer, all this doubt
(Instrumental Section)
Where were you earlier that night?
Still here, or had you begun your flight?
Stillness, the following day
Oh lord, just take me away
