RhexisMUSIC presents: I LOST MY FIRST LOVE TO THE NIGHT

SIDE ONE: I LOST MY FIRST LOVE TO THE NIGHT.
SIDE TWO: THE MORNING AFTER THE END OF THE WAR.
SPECIAL BONUS YAY: SUFFRAGETTE CITY (Bowie cover)

----------------------------------------------------------

A new release from rhexisMUSIC,
the first from the forthcoming album Mr. Atomy's Blues Hypothesis.

--------------------------------------------------------

Partly because people liked Goblin Logic* so much, and partly because I'm curious as to what the 'Lith will make of it, here is the first thing off the next album, which is nuclear-paranoia-glam-folk-mourns-for-lost-love-onna-stick. And will sound slightly less like it was recorded in the box where Nine Inch Nails keep all their reject sound effects.
Music is copyright me, 2006, apart from the Bowie, obviously, which I have no rights to whatsoever, and is free for distribution anywhere and everywhere as long as I'm credited for the performance &c.

To summarise: here is free music. I hope you enjoy it.


* (I am currently looking at the finally completed Goblin Logic packaging (I just need to print the companion booklets). I am aware that I have been very bad at organising the sale of these, but I am registering a PayPal account and finishing them up tonight - anyone who's still interested, thanks ever so for your kind words and patience, and drop me a PM so we can discuss details.)

Withiel, it keeps getting better.

The original tracks fascinate - I expect I'll be walking around singing The Morning After... under my breath. The Bowie is fun*, and I really like the cover art. Would you mind posting the lyrics for these two?

Is this part of the same project as "Briefcase"?

*"Jack Militia"?

How'd the covers come out? I'll be ordering mine just as soon as I get paid next.

Blargh. Managed to miss your replies there, Lepidopteran. Yes, this is from the same one as the Briefcase, &c, which is very close to completion (I need to track down a couple of friends so they can record their female vocal and fiddle parts, for a start), and hopefully will be out before the end of the Summer. Jack Militia is a possible sideproject avenue, intended to be a slightly more conventional front for more fun music, and possibly marketed via Myspace and other tools of the Devil. The cover art is as it appears on the internets, but printed as a foldout case on lovely card, with the CD inside (I'll try to put up some photos at some point).

LYRICS:

SIDE A:

I met a new girl at the café today,
We shared a look over her foreign book,
I thought about taking her hand somehow,
But the fluorescent lights were too bright for me and I
Can't find a remedy and the,
Light too bright too bright too bright,
I lost my first love to the night.

[Bridge]

Sweet dappled shade,
Nevermore.

I left that place for a deserted space,
A park encased in steel and glass,
But she followed me there step by step,
I can't think, can't think, can't think like this
Can't lose my heart to this sudden bliss,
Can't think, can't think, can't think like this,
As she bends in for a kiss.

I thought my heart had gone amiss,
I've lost my soul to that sudden bliss,
I thought my heart had gone amiss,
I've lost my soul to that sudden bliss,

Out of the woods and into the light.


Side B:

Aa-aay,
We cast our land away in anger,
No need for another way,
To sell our soul,
Aa-aay,
The lichen on the stones it lies,
Where the bombs can fall no more,

We'll have war no more


Glad you liked it - a lot of this new stuff is a bit out on a limb, and I'm never sure whether it's me being innovative or simply brain-damaged...

Thanks for that.
