Volume 10 - Rockin' the Dark Side

 So after nine terrific albums of great original tunes, I was in no mood to stop. In fact, like before, the original riffs were still pouring out of me. It was like I could come up with an all original riff in a heartbeat. And that is just what I was doing.

So Volume 10 was quick to materialize. That is, it materialized just as quickly as the next ten songs were composed, and that didn't take long at all. It's like I was an open faucet, and the water was pouring out full blast. I'm talking about ten volumes of original music created in the span of about three years.

I say that because I started Volume 2 in about the year 2000. And by the time Volume 10 was done, it was about the year 2003. So, yeah, that's nine albums in three years. That's about 3 albums a year by average, and I wasn't slowing down, either.

But there was something a little bit different about this one. For the first time I wrote some controversial lyrics. Well, it could be argued that my lyrics bordered on controversial topics before. But I had made it clear that the meaning was anything but clear. It was all up to the listener to decide what the lyrics were about, as I wrote the lyrics deliberately unclear.

But on Volume 10, there are two songs in which the meaning of the lyrics are very clear. And that's because the lyrics do not mince words so to speak. As a result, the songs could be a boon to one faction of people and a bane to another. But whatever. It's what I was feeling at the time, and the songs, regardless of the lyrics, are excellent. So the playlist is as follows:

So Good

Breakin' Down

Witnessing

Time Will Tell

The Dark Side

You Keep Talkin'

Sacred One

Who Saves the Day

What's in the Mix

Where is Justice

If you guessed one of the controversial songs is Where is Justice, you are right. The other one is Who Saves the Day. Like I said, it's not like I hadn't written anything controversial before. But the meanings were ambiguous, and deliberately so. But these two songs are not ambiguous. 

I suppose it doesn't really matter. No one is going to hear them anyway. But I do plan on posting all of these songs on SoundCloud one day soon. And maybe on Spotify, also. Let's see what happens then.
