He produces music which catches his fancy in his bedroom - usually its New Age, post Psychedelic, Trip Pop, Alternative music with 60s pop and folk leanings. The Nameless Composer is a 20-year old (as of writing) loner, who hopes to break into the indie scene with his records and hopefully his live presence.

Story behind the song

One wistful, grey afternoon I started strumming a few chords on the guitar and this tune materialised in my head. The words sort of followed - it was certainly a spontaneous, epiphanic sort of experience. The lyrics urge the listener not to be dis-heartened or apathetic by the monotonous drone of life, but to break free from the cycle.

Lyrics

Don’t Let Repetition Hypnotize
			© 2006, John Oh
	I Know how it feels to be
                Em                 A
	On the outside
            Em           A
	I know how the view looks
                Em                    A
	From the outside
                 Em           A* (only hold down A on 3rd string)
	I know the steady beat it nauseates
      Asus    C3                     A          C3                  
	A hammer on the skull is all it takes
      Asus    C3                     A          C3
	
	The people they live
                   Em              A
	Like automations
                     Em   A
	The people they breath
             Em                    A          
	Like power stations
                   Em         A
	Where do we go when the only way in is out
       Asus   C3            A                  C                   Asus
	Don’t feel clever watching them go in and out
            C3                A       C3                              Asus
	INSTRUMENTAL
	
	Make your inside’s come out
            G                   C                  G
	Make your  whisper a shout
            G                   C                 G           C
	Make the people see you, not your face
            G                  C           G                   C
	While you favour the world with joy and grace
                                
	Reach randomnly for spontaneity blowing in the wind

	Don’t let the colour leave your eyes

	Don’t let the colour leave your eyes

	Don’t let repetition hypnotize

	No, no, no, no…Don’t let repetition hypno-tize
                 
		(verse chorus comes in in second last line)
	Repeat Verse 1
