Love is for Real

Posted by Vampire Woe on February 29, 2012

Love is for Real

When I find you, there in the morning sun

The light behind you, the world as one

Let me remind you, after all, you came for the fun

Telling futures, keep out of the blistering sun

Don’t bring me down, I won’t confuse you

Don’t try to own me, I won’t abuse you

Give it a chance, it might surprise you

We’ll slip away, I can disguise you

I’ll give you something you can believe in

Don’t have to deal with a reason

For everything, there is a season

I’ll give you something you can believe in

Love, is anything better than that ?

It gets so lonely, sitting in outer space

Come in from the cold, love

Orbit my warm embrace

The angry planet is shaking the human race

The shifting bandwidth, remaking the human race

Help me remember, I’ll help you forget who you are

Then we can find you, we don’t have to go very far

Don’t bring me down, I won’t confuse you

Don’t try to own me, I won’t abuse you

Give it a chance, it might surprise you

We’ll slip away, I can disguise you

I’ll give you something you can believe in

Don’t have to deal with a reason

For everything, there is a season

I’ll give you something you can believe in

The ancient secret is only that love is for real

A timeless power, a fortune unable to steal

Don’t bring me down, I won’t confuse you

Don’t try to own me, I won’t abuse you

Give it a chance, it might surprise you

We’ll slip away, I can disguise you

I’ll give you something you can believe in

Don’t have to deal with a reason

For everything, there is a season

I’ll give you something you can believe in

Love, is anything better than that ?

One Beat

Posted by Vampire Woe on February 29, 2012

I have created this mantra in musical form for the benefit of all.

Listen to it as many times as needed or recite or sing it to yourself or others for positive effects.

One beat, one beat

One beat to the street

Come on everybody move your feet

All this pressure, always pressure

Always pressing in

Get together, share some pleasure

The only way to win

(repeat)

Some explanations of mantras from the web:

A mantra (སྔགས་) is a sound, syllable, word, or group of words that is considered

capable of “creating transformation”.

Its use and type varies according to the school and philosophy associated with the mantra.

Saying any word produces an actual physical vibration. Over time, if we know what the effect of that vibration is, then the word may come to have meaning associated with the effect of saying that vibration or word. This is one level of energy basis for words.

Another level is intent. If the actual physical vibration is coupled with a mental intention, the vibration then contains an additional mental component which influences the result of saying it. The sound is the carrier wave and the intent is overlaid upon the wave form, just as a colored gel influences the appearance and effect of a white light.

In either instance, the word is based upon energy. Nowhere is this idea more true than for Sanskrit mantra. For although there is a general meaning which comes to be associated with mantras, the only lasting definition is the result or effect of saying the mantra.

Mantras start a powerful vibration which corresponds to both a specific spiritual energy frequency and a state of consciousness in seed form. Over time, the mantra process begins to override all of the other smaller vibrations, which eventually become absorbed by the mantra. After a length of time which varies from individual to individual, the great wave of the mantra stills all other vibrations. Ultimately, the mantra produces a state where the organism vibrates at the rate completely in tune with the energy and spiritual state represented by and contained within the mantra.

Spiders in Time

Posted by Vampire Woe on February 28, 2012

Spiders on the hedge of thyme

Spiders try to unwind

Spiders on the edge of time

Spiders were a friend of mine

You got to go

You got to know

You got to throw it away

You got to grow

You got to show

You got to take back the day

Spiders with a hint of lime

Creeping in the evening time

Spiders don’t forget to climb

Spiders were a friend of mine

You got to shake

You got to fake

You got to throw it around

You got to wake up the snake

You got to go underground

Bucket Man

Posted by Vampire Woe on February 21, 2012

Greeting Earthlings!

I want to talk about one of the most lowly, un-fullfilling forms of existence known to modern man.

I am of course talking about the fast food job. Be it Mc Donald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s Taco Bell,

Pizza Hut, Arby’s, Green Burrito, Carl’s Junior, or KFC, these jobs require the person working them

to humble themselves, perform un-savory duties, wear ill-fitting un-attractive uniforms, and put up

with superiors that are most likely their mental and emotional inferiors.

To address this state of affairs and possibly offer some relief from the stress of people who find themselves

in a situation such as the one described above, I have written and recorded an anthem of sorts – “Bucket Man”.

I sincerely hope some of you get at least a smile out of this !

Bucket Man

Music & Lyrics by Tommy Von

BMI artist # 872451

I am your servant, every stinkin’ day

I wear a painted smile for you

It’s getting late, near closing time

And now here’s what I am to you

Bucket man, fuck it, man

Bucket man, suck it, man

On hands and knees, this is what you want

Kissin’ ass obeying rules

And as you’re cumming on yourself

I’m mopping up after you

Bucket man, fuck it, man

Bucket man, suck it, man

New SoundCloud Track – “Dry Von Radio”

Posted by Vampire Woe on February 20, 2012

Greetings Earthlings!

I have created a rather interesting cover of Radiohead’s song “High and Dry”.

http://soundcloud.com/tommy_von/dry-von-radio

I took the original track and sampled it into Ableton Live, added a few choice drum parts, some extra acoustic guitar,

a sweet 303 bass sound, and of course my own twisted vocals! Hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed

creating it! By the way, if you follow the above link, it is also a free download.

Lyrics to the song below….

Two jumps in a week, I bet you think that’s pretty clever don’t you boy

Flyin’ on your motorcycle, watching all the ground beneath you drop

You’d kill yourself for recognition, kill yourself to never ever stop

You broke another mirror, you’re turning into something you are not

Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry

Drying up in conversation, you will be the one who cannot talk

All your insides fall to pieces, you just sit there wishing you could still make love

They’re the ones who’ll hate you when you think you’ve got the world

all sussed out

They’re the ones who’ll spit at you, you will be the one screaming out

Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry

Oh, it’s the best thing that you’ve ever had

The best thing that you’ve ever, ever had

It’s the best thing that you’ve ever had

The best thing you’ve had has gone away

So don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry

Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry

Don’t leave me high

Don’t leave me dry
