Decaying Orbit is an experimental, unorthodox, highly diverse & genre-splitting band from Texas led by their infamous front man Mike Ash. "No, this music's not about that, it's not about sound quality, it's about passion." - Mike Ash. Decaying Orbit is produced by their label, Decaying Enterprises Productions and has released many studio albums since they formed in 2008, after the violent break up of the Psychedelic Rock band, Strangefire, of which Mike was the former front man. Decaying Orbit believes in unadulterated musical & creative freedom, Mike describes their music as a "cathartic purge" or "nervous break downs caught on tape.". The band believes that creating music is a sacred, spiritual and magical art form brought to them by the Muses, wraiths and demons hidden just beyond the veil between the worlds of the physical and spiritual realms. Decaying Orbit has traveled beyond the veil and into the realms of the spirits, only to reemerge, like a caterpillar from it's cocoon emerging as a beautiful butterfly, so does Decaying Orbit get reborn through the fire of their cacophonous tunage. The band believes in complete freedom of lifestyle, I.E. sexuality, religion, spirituality, drugs, manner of dress etc. They believe that music is an interstellar language that needs no translation to be understood by absolutely anyone. It's the passion behind the emotions found in the music that matters to Decaying Orbit, they believe that integrity is more important than fortune or fame. This is our Decaying Orbit & we do hope that you will N'Joy tha' show!!!!

Story behind the song
This was recorded live in studio with a ratty old double-sided tape deck when I was 13 years old. I consider this time period to be around the official starting point of my musical journey. I have been doing music for most of my life, really, but 1992 is when I released my first album with my band, "Yellow Mellon", the album was titled "Suicidal Shit" & featured hitz such as, "Cannibal Cows" & "Bad Boy Blue". Yellow Melon changed their name to "Static Age" & started to record crazy bad live material. I also played my first live show at the age of 12 with Yellow Melon - I was so green that I didn't even know how to tune my guitar, so I played the entire show completely out of tune, it was beyond awful, but a hell of a lot of fun!!!! In 1992 things started to get fun for me musically. I always felt like this song had a certain magic to it, I'm not sure why I feel that way, perhaps it's the soft strumming of my acoustic guitar(I got the guitar that I recorded this song with when I was 7 from a raffle at school. don't ask me what made me get a guitar instead of my many other choices, perhaps it was a sign of things to come!!!!) but this lil' tune has survived for 23 years!!!! yet, it has only been released on the Mike Ash album, "Revelations" in 1993 until it's release here on Cryptomeria. This is another super-rare gem that I wanted to share with my listeners around the world!!! N'Joy!!!!!

I can see your face from under the blue, I still can't see inside of you... you make me cry like a child... feels like laughter child, it feels like laughter child, it feels like... it feels like... it feels like magic to me.... Lyrics By: Mike Ash (C)Decaying Enterprises 2017
