Preview of my original song "Lovin' Me"

Preview of my original song "Queen of Everything"

Shallow waters have always been unnatural to me. Unfathomable depth is where I have always felt most at home.

Your laughter is my caffeine
Being there is what I pretend
Seeing you smile like a queen
I wish the night would never end
You’re the innocent bystander
Witness to my night time candor
As passions overflow
My feelings for you grow
My heart and mind closely compete
In a contest I cant complete
You’re the unwitting prize
A gift of my demise
Lost in my own universe
Making it fully what I want it to be
The soundtrack played in reverse
Go back in time at last learn how to be free
Neutralize the evil curse
That my sad and sorry past put upon me
Walking through life with a happy beat in my heart
With bright vivid dreams that are sublime
Confident that I will no longer come apart
That I will completely heal with time
One more fiery flame to keep you warm
Embracing you with thoughts of me
A strong connection now begins to form
And our hearts and souls are set free
My love, you inspire me to be better
To fulfill all my dreams to the letter
Creating a conveyor belt of joy
Making a man out of this little boy
I care about you so much
A lot more than as a friend
I just wish that we could touch
So I could make your heart mend
I really like it when you fluster
You always give your feelings away
I love you is all I can muster
You know that I’m here and I will stay
When you want sweet I’ll be your marmalade
And you can be my sugar queen
But if anyone throws you any shade
They’ll get a heavy side of mean
A high and costly toll that must be paid
Don’t worry I’ll always fight clean
Because our lasting love will never fade
A closeness never before seen
This is how I’ll prove it to you
That you can completely trust me
So you see my feelings are true
And real love is what this must be

(From @_Yin______Yang_)

"One must flee those places where life throbs and seek out lonely spots untouched by human hand in order to lift the magic veil of nature"

Guido von List

"Hermes represents Logos, or, the divine proportion of Father Zeus. He travels between realms and upholds the cosmic order embodied within his father, and therefore he is a messenger and herald of Zeus.

Through Hermes’ son Pan we can see that the vital masculine energy of the Heavens flows from Zeus and fully permeates material nature. This is why Pan is associated with fertility and the phallus, and also why he is half man and half goat (a satyr).

With Zeus being the epitome of Wisdom, Order, Justice, and Vitality, we can see why he has so many lovers in the myths, as this is illustrating his pervasiveness as the King of the Heavens who links everything back to the Celestial Spheres and roots nature within Him. Through the intermediaries of his son Hermes and his grandson Pan, we can see that he even connects lower material nature to Celestial Order. We can see this in the activities of Pan who spends his days frolicking in the woods, chasing nymphs, and playing his flute—the tune to which nature dances." – Venerable Magister Priscas, Orthodox Temple of Natural Religion

“Beauty” is a romantic expression for life-sustaining phenomena: good health, speed/vigor, strength and fertility. Nature is neutral, it involves a war between life and death on all fronts. Beauty is the main ally of life, but at the same time, it is the main enemy of morality that controls your judgements through religions, philosophy, politics and traditions. Therefore, consider every ideology, religion, belief and action, and see which side it serves, and which side it made you serve.

"It was not his body but his mind that I fell for. Anyone can achieve peak physical form, but most will never aspire nor approach his level of profundity."

"Black metal is a dying art form" Rusty pillars with unknowns written on them rise from the seas of flame symbols. Bones and skulls of people and animals lie everywhere. The smell of fresh blood combines with kerosene. In the middle of the flames and smoke, five raucous black metal players roar men whose appearance is like something straight out of the post-apocalyptic era from a horror movie.
This is what the Swedish Watain's live show looks like at its best: it takes the audience to another reality that is both nightmarish and fascinating at the same time. Strangely kind of beautiful, but terrifying at the same time.
 - We are trying to take Watain's concerts to a new level. I'm not talking about pyrotechnics there should be more or that there should be huge amounts of lights and effects but that the concert would approach religious and ceremonial experience. That it would be about a place where people would feel something unusual, Watain's singer and music manager Erik Danielsson says.
In the Swedish way, Danielsson is an easy and polite interviewee, but he is not wants to answer all questions: according to him, no themes that go too deep can be dealt with in a quarter-long interview.

Not an ordinary band
Founded in 1998, Watain belongs to Sweden's most internationally known black metal bands. Uncompromising and sometimes suddenly wrong attitude, crazy stage shows and black metal - respecting traditions both in terms of music and attitude have elevated the band to the lists of the best bands of all time in the genre. It's also no wonder that Watain regularly makes headlines also because its style and way of doing things don't please everyone.

Part 1

In 2019, for example, the band was not allowed to perform in Singapore because it were suspected of disturbing the "social harmony" of the island nation. In the same year, the guitarist Pelle Forsberg was denied entry to the United States because his phone was found "suspicious" footage. According to Forsberg, it was about Satanism, black metal and of images related to animal carcasses.
- We have had problems in some countries, which have mainly been related to paperwork. Of course, these problems may have something to do with the fact that we are not an ordinary band, but Singapore, for example, has also boycotted Lady Gaga. Neither does he, though don't be a standard artist, Erik Danielsson clarifies.

According to Danielsson, there is a difference between when Watain provokes an exacerbation and when it does not hard to find any real logic.
- Sometimes we are frowned upon and then after a couple of years we are rewarded with a Grammy.

Black metal has done its job

Sweden's abundant black metal offering includes both Dark Funeral and Marduk like classics, but also Mephorashi style, like Watain to the visual and groups investing in ritualistic expression.
- After doing this for such a long time, you notice that people come and go constantly.

There have been bands in Sweden with whom we have had a lot in common, but the biggest some of them are no longer included in the designs, says Danielsson.

Perhaps even symptomatically, Danielsson has put on a Nifelheim t-shirt. More than three the Swedish band, which had a decade-long career, ceased operations last year.

Danielsson brings up a Latin phrase: Sic transit Gloria mundi, which refers to the worldly to the loss of honor.
- This compares to what I feel the situation of black metal is like at the moment. Really a lot of great bands die and disappear, but I don't see any new bands to be found similar dignity and revolutionary thinking. Mostly it is largely repeated, what has already been done before.

Part 2

Danielsson also places the future of black metal in a larger cultural context.

- There are cultural currents that last their own time, and maybe they will relevant, say, a hundred years later. One cannot assume that something radical the art form would be on fire or revolutionary with constant input. Maybe someday it could think about letting this art form die in peace.

According to Danielsson, it is usually problematic if a certain style of music is distorted people who have no idea about the whole genre.
- It's mostly embarrassing. It would make more sense to leave the music making to us for bands like ours or leave it entirely

Ceremonial approaches

According to Erik Danielsson, Watain has carried out since the beginning until these days up to the concept with the same philosophy and energy. The audience is whisked away blood from the middle of the sea of ​​flames and otherwise it's about communicating very strong emotions ritual.
- In the case of Watain, it's about a ceremonial approach. In the middle of everything is the devil (=devil), who is the ultimate archetype, force and monument to, what we consider true, relevant and important to life.

As stated at the beginning, Watain's concerts take the audience to spaces that are not here of the world. For Erik Danielsson, Watain has offered an opportunity to look at the fact that there is something more than things that can be perceived by the human senses alone.
- Of course, this includes life after death. Maybe I've been able to hint to some kind of answer through the things we have done more than half of my life.

Danielsson emphasizes the word mystery.
- I think mystery is one of the most important fuels for an artist, not only black for a metal musician. Regardless of how high we are as humans in other things above or no matter how rationally we think, we all walk towards something we know nothing about. We can either blink away or look straight ahead.
