One of my favorite songs, about Magick and Mind Control, was recorded on a defunct DAW on an ancient Acer computer that fell apart when trying to mix it last year, and now it’s been rescued in Cubase 12 Pro and finally released into the world.

“I like EMWIBYourHead – real nasty drum noises on it may push it further. Treasure Trove”. AR

“Nice! Leaning a little into Arctic Monkeys territory with the vibe (a good thing, in my book). You’re welcome to use the photo”. SH

“Robert Courtney stands firm and solid in his own niche of post-everything cultural excellence with a truck-full of uplifting little gems” AQ

lyrics

Excuse Me While I Borrow Your Head

I wanna know how you feel
When you do the things you do
I wanna know if it’s real
To have the love flow through
I wanna know what it feels like
In your skin
So if you don’t mind
I’ll just slip right in

It’s’ calling me
Some things are better left unsaid
So excuse me while I
Borrow your head

I got a JuJu, baby
Wrapped in black velvet
I got the knife of destiny
And a starry sky helmet
I’ve got a secret stash
Of incense from Madras
And a potent elixir
Made from Jesus’ tears

I wanna know what it feels like
In your skin
So if you don’t mind
I’ll just slip on in
Now I’m too polite to ask, but
I’ve got just one more task
So excuse me while I
Borrow your mask
