RALLY ON ME

From the coming album Soundtrack To The Collapse. Here is a song for everyone who has been through something similar to me these past three years (and before). You know, I realize that we’ve all got our battles to fight through, and although it may not seem as trying-and-difficult when we compare our individual fights side-by-side, that doesn’t mean these tribulations aren’t still something that someone must face; no matter how small or how large. The chorus goes like this…

I don't know what you've been through,
but I imagine that it's something that I've felt too.
When it feels like there's nobody around
who's seen what you've seen,
you can rally on me.

I don’t believe we need to compare the magnitudes of our struggles. I think we have them, and they are ours to face. I hope that my music can be a point where you can go and rally yourself when things get bleak.

HOME GROWN

From the coming album Soundtrack To The Collapse. I’m in a spot where I need to piss or get off the pot when it comes to where we’re living. I have pondered my orbs for many hours, and although I do not yet have the answer of where we’re headed, I do think that putting it into song and out there into the aether might help move some of the pieces into place.

So what is SOUNDTRACK TO THE COLLAPSE

One of my best friends was messaging me the other day. He had said that the music I have been making is like the, “Soundtrack To The Collapse.” I loved it. I think he’s absolutely right. This latest batch of tunes will be going on a release of that title which will be coming sometime in the next few months.

You: “But Arcade! Too many albums. You need to finish the other ones you started.”

Yes.

GIRAGA MUST EMIS DIR JITONY

This is not a serious song. I hope that no one actually thought that haha. I was playing around in the Gab AI Image generator, Gabby, the other day. If you don’t know what Gabby is, it is a free-speech and Christian-value centric AI image generator. It doesn’t have all the woke censorship that the other AIs are being created with. Regardless of your opinions, it’s kind of fun to take it for a rip. I put “Greg Arcade” and it returned some arcade games, so I tried “Greg Arcade Country Musician” and this art is what returned. The words are ridiculous gibberish, and I hope they aren’t some Luciferian Latin spell.

In the spirit of having some fun with this, I used an AI drummer, and an online “Song Lyrics Generator”. I quickly threw the tune down with other instruments. Then I took those bullsh*t lyrics, as well as the gibberish on the art, and sang one single pass without even reading through first. The final result is this masterpiece of nonsense. I hope you enjoy it.

VM UPDATE

Here was a little update I made after the funeral. I received an outpouring of support from all you all and really appreciated it. I made this Voice Memo (VM) and figured why not throw a little guitar down under it. Listening back resulted in the next video.

GOOD NEWS BLUES

That slide guitar tone was too good to pass up that day… Things in my little home studio, just as in a big one, never feel the same day-to-day. I knew I couldn’t throw away that creamy tone on my archtop with my slide.

WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN

I’m pretty sure most of you folks have seen this one already. It hit over 10k view on telegram within a few days of release. I wanted to send it one more time.

The last thing my Grandma said to me was that she was proud of me for all the music I make and the songs I sing. I guess I’ve got to keep doing it for just a little while longer then…

I’ll see you wonderful with another update in March!
