about

Another track that will - eventually and with luck - get the full production treatment for a future project. It's one of the rare "positive" tracks that I've written - I don't tend to write happy happy joy joy blah blah because that kind of stuff just doesn't interest me artistically. Even for a happy-ish track, there's a lot of uncertainty in this, as it's about making a leap into the great unknown. (Kind of the story of my life from 2011 to the present.) I like the radio bursts, which sort of sonically name-check John Cage, whose amazing work inspired the track. (And, yeah, I did sneak a line of BRM into the last breakdown.)

lyrics

IF I FLIP THE SWITCH
IS IT OFF OR ON OR SOMETHING IN BETWEEN?
IF I SELECT UNHITCH
DO I WALK INTO A NEW WORLD SIGHT UNSEEN?

ONE DAY ONE WEEK THE WELL RUNS DRY
AND I KNOW I SHOULD RUN RUN RUN
BUT TO OR FROM I WONDER WHY
SOMETHING HAS BEGUN GUN GUN

ONE BREATH ONE STEP SO TENTATIVE
WHEN I KNOW I SHOULD DIVE DIVE DIVE
DON’T BE SO ARGUMENTATIVE
I’M CHOOSING ALIVE LIVE LIVE

IF I CHANGE THE STATION
DO I RISK A TUNE THAT SOUNDS THE SAME?
IF I CHOOSE PREDATION
DOES THE HUNTER GET CAPTURED BY THE GAME?

ONE MIND ONE THOUGHT NO INNER SOUND
WHEN I KNOW I SHOULD FLY FLY FLY
DON’T WANT TO STAY HERE ON THE GROUND
I’M CHOOSING THE SKY SKY SKY

I DON’T CARE IF I LOSE IT ALL
THIS IMAGINARY LANDSCAPE IS MY NEW HOME
AND I DON’T CARE IF I SOAR OR IF I FALL
THIS IMAGINARY LANDSCAPE
IMAGINARY LANDSCAPE IS MY HOME
THIS IMAGINARY LANDSCAPE IS MY HOME
THIS IMAGINARY LANDSCAPE IS MY HOME












IF THE FREQUENCY’S TOO LOUD
WILL IT DROWN OUT ALL THE TRUTH I WANT TO HEAR?
AND IF THIS HEAVEN’S JUST A CLOUD
DOES MY DREAM OF SOMETHING MORE JUST DISAPPEAR?

ONE MIND ONE THOUGHT NO INNER SOUND
WHEN I KNOW I SHOULD FLY FLY FLY
DON’T WANT TO STAY HERE ON THE GROUND
I’M CHOOSING THE SKY SKY SKY

I DON’T CARE IF I LOSE IT ALL
THIS IMAGINARY LANDSCAPE IS MY NEW HOME
AND I DON’T CARE IF I SOAR OR IF I FALL
THIS IMAGINARY LANDSCAPE
IMAGINARY LANDSCAPE

ONE BREATH ONE STEP IT ALL BEGINS
AND I’M READY TO FLY FLY FLY
IT’S TIME TO SOAR UPON THE WIND
I AM CHOOSING THE SKY

I DON’T CARE IF I LOSE IT ALL
THIS IMAGINARY LANDSCAPE IS MY NEW HOME
DON’T CARE IF I SOAR OR IF I FALL
THIS IMAGINARY LANDSCAPE
IMAGINARY LANDSCAPE IS MY HOME
MY HOME

MY HOME

Rick O'Disko Syracuse, New York

Born and raised in Upstate New York, Rick O’Disko has loved dance music for as long as he can remember: “In elementary school, I used to get to class early so that my friends and I could dance to our disco 45s.” At eight years old, he asked for – and received – a strobe light for Christmas. “I set my room up as a discotheque. There was no door policy – just come on in and get down.” ... more
