Vinnie Milton is now dead. We could wish him rest, but to no avail because of where his soul goes for eternity: (Google "Goth Family Singers") This song is about his descent to that place.

SKySWiM is the core project name for all musical work by Arnie Stanton. Arnie Stanton has been very involved in creating an eclectic musical blend of classical, electronic, rock, jazz, and other styles. Because of his wide musical background from training and listening, he tends to not stay long with one particular sound, mood, or feel. Arnie creates music meant to evoke deep emotions and strong visual imagery. His lyrics have spiritual overtones, sometimes comforting, but more often, challenging and ominous. He plays trombone, keyboards, sings, and usually talks in the first person, rather than third person tense, as he is doing here. :-) His base of operations is in Torrance, California.

Lyrics
(Voice of reason:) Swaying with the trees Glistening in the moonlight Tune in with incongruent time Psyche put on freeze Square away the rhyme Lessons from far away Your truth is so sublime Save me for another day (sound of reason disappearing) Swaying with the trees Glistening in the moonshine Psyche put on freeze Tune in with incongruent time Square away the rhyme Lessons from far away Your truth is so sublime Save me for another day Hey! Champions of the decades, Always run away from defeat You know the table is now prepared, But will you choose Oblivion You can hear the hum of the Drum Channelers making contact with Enron The Graves of the Just Will you care when the fire is lit? Will you try? Will you cry? See through the mind of little Jimmy See through the night, and past the clouds of tomorrow They pierce our heart, um, mah mah mah mah mah Champions of the decades, Always run away from defeat You know the table is now prepared, But will you choose Oblivion You can hear the hum of the Drum Channelers making contact with Enron The Graves of the Just You can hear the hum of darkness: Casting Shadows, Incandescent Open windows, feel the Effervesence See your future before your own eyes, Not as fading, but as an echo Dim lights glowing And the machine is reeling Casting Shadows, Incandescent Open windows, feel the Effervesence See your future before your own eyes, Not as fading, but as an echo Dim lights glowing And the machine is reeling Do you know, Mr. Greenjeans? When you will die?
