In the fall of 2017 I was working on a follow up to End the Hate of Love. This was the last song I wrote in Oakland, CA before having to leave abruptly. Living out of Jade Roam (my mobile Green Room) for the next two years, I didn't have a way to record any new music. In 2020 that changed and I began to slowly start working on "the horror record" until my hard drive crashed without backup losing over 10 years of material. This track was somewhat preserved via an email of an instrumental mix down from Fall 2017 to listen to on headphones as I paced the lot outside. Sometime in 2022 I found it and added vocals karaoke over the track (fitting). I always hoped to release this, as it was a love letter and a dare to friends that I had a sense of urgency to share. The delusion that this track may, in some way, contribute to an improvement of morale on Earth is of course, what makes Algorithms Dancing in Dark Matter what it is. Who knows what will come of ADDM, but I had to let this one fly.
lyrics
find me in the virgin snow
where i wouldn't know you even if i was warm
meet me in the burning oil fields
where we can bare our teeth in the sun
mired in an earthless toil
daringly hold to what you have
dream of love's empty shell
and every want will be yours
is that all
inside ambient love?
can't remember what it's called
something we shared
but what was us?
remind me of a worthless star
where envy is not all we have
bodies, just, are burning walls
and you and i are so alone
breath until the reason is gone
ambient life acquiesced
inside ambient love
designs ever unhold
leave me in the virgin snow
where i wouldn't know you even if i was warm
meet me in the burning oil fields
there we will bare our teeth in the sun
