The centerpiece of The Strangelight's album 88 is this epic song that is a cross between rock opera, sea chanty, indie rock with an unexpected outro of 80s funk jammarama! You can hear the original solo version of this song here: https://soundcloud.com/beauphillips1/messages
When I think
What I had
When I was behind those closed doors
Now I see all my sadness
Left amid my torrid adore
When I was just a lad
Heard of true love just in folklore
Now I see just the padding
Behind hospital doors
Lost in numbers and adding
Messages from the Great Omniscient
What else can I say?
There has NEVER ever been more...
When I think what I had when I was forced to walk in those straight lines, lost my mind
But these lines in my head becamse numbers
And woke me from the dead - I'm alive
When I think what I see when I close my eyes
I see so clearly in this dark
I see shapes, colors, auras
Cores of all beings can be seen
We're all marked
Lost in numbers and adding
Messages from the Great Omniscient
What else can I say?
There has NEVER ever been more...
