Sweet 17 by Normal State

Image
Here´s a sad little song about substance abuse.   I discovered this artist from Elvis Depressedly´s recommendation.  He is another artist that I would recommend, especially his song Thou Shall Not Murder the only little part of your life you’re keeping together by normal state

SHT Musik Live - April 24, 2025

I´M NOBODY  (based on the poem by Emily Dickinson) I´m nobody Who are you? I´m nobody Are you nobody too? A pair of us Don´t you dare tell They´d banish us Straight to hell Don´t you know I´m nobody Who are you? (who are you?) I´m nobody Are you nobody too? (are you nobody too?) Being somebody A man among mice (a man among mice) Being somebody You sacrifice (you sacrifice) Living your life Under scrutiny (under scrutiny) No warm blankets Of privacy You can have my fifteen minutes of fame I don´t want it, don´t wanna be a household name Don´t get me wrong, the fortune would be nice But in the end I´ve seen the piper pay the price The piper always pays the price I´m nobody Who are you (who are you?) I´m nobody Are you nobody too?    So very nice to meet you GREAT EXPECTATIONS It all started a long time ago I was just a little kid Always tried to get my way Seems I never did Now I´m sitting stinking thinking Wee hours of the night Born alone, die alone Stumble towards th...

The Ghost That I´ve Become by Elijah Vale

 Well I haven´t `posted any new music in quite a while.   Not much of the new stuff interests me to be honest.   However, I came across this song while reviewing songs on SubmitHub Hot or Not and it spoke to me.   So here for your listening pleasure is The Ghost That I´ve Become by Elijah Vale.    He only has two songs out that I can find on Spotify.

Our Bog Is Dood - by SHT Musik

Image
My song Our Bog Is Dood is closely based on the poem of the same name by Stevie Smith.    She is one of my favorite poets.   She also wrote Not Waving But Drowning which I believe is her best-known work.  (My song and video for that one are here .)   I love what one YouTuber called Stevie´s "twisted, darkly comic style."       Now about the poem, it seems pretty obvious when you read it  that "Our Bog is dood" is code for "our God is good".  Those who profess this are children, naive followers who do not question their religious beliefs but accept them blindly.   However, even between the true believers there is conflict because when it gets down to the exact details of what their God is like "They never could agree".   Religion, in the end, is an individual experience and Smith slyly illustrates this.   She also mentions intolerance for anyone who doesn´t bow down to the children´s God....

TAO of SHT 4-5-6 (EP)

Image
I am pleased to announce the release of my newest EP, The TAO of SHT 4-5-6.    Here are 3 more songs based on chapters 4,5 and 6 of the Tao Te Ching (kinda the Taoists´ Bible).    For anybody not familiar with Taoism, the word "tao" is usually translated as "way" and the Taoist writings in the Tao Te Ching are little poems trying to talk about the unspeakable truths of life, the universe and everything.   So of course things can get a bit tricky.   Taoism is more of a philosophy than a religion and there are countless translations and interpretations of the Tao Te Ching.   Here is mine.   TAO of SHT 4-5-6 by SHT Musik If you prefer you can also watch the lyric video below.

Suicide Is Painless and other covers

Image
Suicide Is Painless  by SHT Music When I started playing guitar I wanted to learn to play all my favorite songs.   I almost never went to the recording as a reference.    I liked to take the chords and lyrics and make my own version of the song instead of trying to copy the original.  So growing up in the 80s MASH (American sitcom about Korean War doctors)  was on 2 or 3 times (literally) Monday through Friday.   The show´s theme song is embedded in my brain forever but I never knew the lyrics to the song.    Fast forward 20 years or so and after discovering the incredibly dark lyrics of the original song (the TV theme song was instrumental)  I decided that I would take a swing at doing a cover of the song with a video.  I found this cool Middle Eastern video for this same song which I shamelessly stole and was pleasantly surprised by how well both the song and the video turned out.  But don´t take my word for i...

CHAKRA MONSTER by JKQLYNIDE

Image
 Straight out of Kenosha, Wisconsin comes this cosmic rapper "Hi i´m Case, or Case  Jackal or JKQLYNIDE"  I think this guy is doing the ol´  Eminem/Slim Shady/Marshall Mathers thing with the multiple names.   But this rap is  NOT like Eminem.   These are definitely big-picture ideas.  The lyrics are all there on his Bandcamp page so you can see just exactly what he is talking about.   On the album page it states:   In the gap between the physical and the spiritual, there is a finely crafted tool that turns the lights of the divine into the thoughts and actions of mortals. While it can be a tool for personal growth and development, using this tool in isolation is a powerful, effective, and somewhat dangerous practice. I hope some of you enjoy this as much as I do.    CHAKRA MONSTER by JKQLYNIDE
