about

A dual between 2 voices, enigmatic to be sure, and desperately wishing that things could be different. This is modeled after a fav. band of mine, I'll just say it...King's X. Ok, not as close as I'd like to them, but not bad, IMHO. Enjoy the rock-ish-ness.

lyrics

American Tragedy 08/17/21

Meet me in the town square
I said I’d meet you anywhere
She said don’t be so sure boy
I said I’ll be your love toy

Come to find out
She’s got connections
Way up higher than I can reach
I’ve been so reckless

So we turned the table
Made me into a fable
Ran off to Hollywood
There we made it understood

We’d fight our last fight
Breathe our last breath
Life into death

American Tragedy
———

They’re chasing us down
They found out our hideaway
We’re going to a place
Where the dancing pixels think for us
Camelot must fall
The silver screen burn
The romance, the teardrops
The bad guys never learn

American Tragedy
———

Put on our special 3D glasses
Enter the real unreal
Don our cosplay sexuality
I think I’m harmless cop a feel

The old man behind the curtain
Is making his escape
Never mind what every mind
Knows is at stake

American Tragedy
Is a world tragedy
American Tragedy
- we think we can escape gravity
Will you be a tragedy?

credits

released October 8, 2021
Steven Curtis on real instruments: guitar, piano, cello
and on digital instruments - a box of Logic Pro instruments, a bushel of MainStage and Garage Band effects and performances, and put into the blender of Adobe Audition CS6, which I will never quit using.
Influenced very directly by King's X and Bill Mallonee.
