Pretend

LYRICS:
Pretend to care.
You won't be there.
You won't.

Last I remember
We played lets pretend.
Let's pretend again.
Again.

Pretend to feel.
I won't feel this.

Is it ever over?
It seems nothing ends.
Nothing can begin.

Last I remember
We played who is who.
Let's pretend again.
Again.

A Life of Regret

LYRICS:
If there is one thing I regret
It's not taking my life yesterday.
I've been despairing so long
I've forgotten what it is to hope.

Previously unfinished. Poem originally posted on Myspace blog.

Solitary Man

LYRICS:
It's so painful
As a solitary man.
I once hated myself
Now I hate you.

Previously from the Forgotten Day EP, recorded October 27, 2008.

Concept Work

The new CD will be called "Blades of Grass Against Your Pale Cheek," taken from the title of a song that I will likely never release, from back in my "New York Taxi Cab" days.

Here is the original cover design that I created way back when:


Right now, these are the songs I'm considering including:

• Pretend
• A Life of Regret
• Solitary Man
• Slumber Through Winter
• I Lay My Last Breath
• Some Nights End Well, Others...
• Tears Fall One by One
• Breton's Nadja
• The Future Holds... Nothing.
• October 1, 07
• We Sing-Sing Solemn Songs

Enjoy the demos as they come!

New CD

It seems I haven't kept track since "If I'm not a ghost..." was new.

I'm working on a new CD, that aurally will be very similar to "Days of Being Aflame" but, for the first time in Lachrymal Quietus history, I plan to leave the recording, mixing and (for the first time) mastering to a professional.

During the Halloween weekend, my band TZAMETI recorded our first 4 song demo at Vibewrangler Studio with Glen Marshall and Jon Daly. It turned out great and the guys were great so hopefully by early-summer I'll have again set up in their studio and started recording.

Brendan, drummer of TZAMETI, has volunteered to record drums tracks, and I can handle the rest. I plan to make the bed tracks in my usual homemade-style to save some time in the studio, and I'll be posting those demos here as I go.

Please, all feedback is greatly appreciated. I want to make this my best CD to date, and it won't be good if I'm the only person that likes it, haha.

Thanks,
Graham.
