DANCE of the DAMNED' - The Hypocrisy of Capitalism & the Unfair Treatment of Women in Society

DANCE of the DAMNED official artwork.

For the third track on my upcoming experimental, 80s pop-inspired album, I decided to include the song 'DANCE of the DAMNED'. Now, I would say this song in particular really fleshes out the story of the 'Nephele' universe protagonist the most.

I named the song after a movie from 1989 of the same title, Dance of the Damned. It's about a suicidal stripper who accidentally winds up leading a bloodthirsty vampire into her home. It was the notion of being doomed that was the basis for my song.

Theatrical poster for Dance of the Damned (1989).

I then took the idea of my own contempt for capitalism and sexism in society and blended it into the lyrics, and what I ended up with was the story of Nephele, a stripper who dreams of fame and fortune, down on her luck, who holds deep disdain for the world she lives in. Due to her field of work, she distrusts and dislikes men very much.

The song itself is told as thoughts inside Nephele's head.

Don't do this for you, this is all for me, don't you see? Not for your eyes, it's my disguise to make myself feel complete. Empty inside so I don't care about your predatory stare. I'm getting mine just like you do, I do my dance and you throw me the cash.

When those men go to a strip club it's because they want something from a woman. They want her to put herself on display for their own enjoyment. But here, Nephele is taking the power back. She's saying, "this is my job, this is how I make money, you go to your job and make your money too, it's no different".

It's the dance of the damned, No matter what you do, you can't escape or erase it. You give yourself to the rhythm, you lose yourself in the making.

The 'dance of the damned' is the cycle that modern people find themselves living in--wake up, go to work, make money, sleep, do it all again. Jobs are taxing on the psyche in some way. Maybe it's customer service for someone really socially anxious, maybe it's (like Nephele) being a stripper performing for men one is disgusted by, maybe it's forsaking one's own integrity to lie and make a sale just so they can keep their job. It's all for the sake of money, a made-up construct that has somehow turned into the necessity to keep oneself afloat in today's world.

Silly me, that's what you think, because I exploit my body. Silly you because I took advantage of your lust. Easy money, it's just easy money. Sleazy money, it's all sleazy money.

Nephele recognizes that the men who go to watch her don't take her seriously, but she turns it around on them and says she doesn't take them seriously because it's so easy to play into their lust to get money. Wave yourself at them and they open their pockets.

I'm no different from you, I'm just getting all that I work for. The only thing about me, is that I don't deceive myself. But you men and your business, you cheat and scam and you lie. Your own humanity dies, you become deaf to the cries.

Nephele is saying that compared to what some of those business men do, hers is an honest living. They go out and destroy ecosystems with their oil rigs, they buy lands of forest to bulldoze and put more company buildings, they own factories that produce billions of waste that goes into the environment, slowly killing the planet--but somehow the fool is her because god forbid a woman do sex work, right?

It's this unfair dichotomy that I wanted to draw attention to, if not just to open the conversation. The expectations placed on women (as we are always painfully aware of) are quite hypocritical and flippant compared to the scrutiny that should be placed on the much bigger, more important and pressing issues.

If you made it this far down, thank you for reading. I hope you like my music if you decide to check it out, and if you do, consider pre-saving the new song I have coming out, 'the MUSIC MAN', out 9.15!

My new dark-pop single REVOLVER is out now on Spotify!

REVOLVER is a dark-pop single I wrote from the perspective of a feminine anti-heroine setting out to enter her villain era. As women we all have different sides—seductive and soft, confident and beautifully vulnerable. I wanted to capture that duality through a story where the heroine is coming into her own and empowering herself to fight against anything that compromises her vision. For the setting of the song I drew inspiration from vintage black & white western movies with the dust, shootouts, inner-ring politics and outlaws.

Why I Wrote 'peace OR love'

Single artwork for 'peace OR love'.

So, 'peace OR love' is the second single in the series leading up to the release of my album, 'NEPHELE: Act I'. This song actually has two meanings rolled into one, but in its essence, it's about the internal struggle one has when loving something that is difficult to love.

What first inspired me to write this song was the idea of me, an artist, being in love with music and the creation of it, yet at the same time struggling with it because of how hard it is to pursue a music career. So, I present the dichotomy of peace or love.

Peace would be to give up the pursuit of a music career in order not to feel so stressed and frustrated all the time, and love would be to keep pursuing music at the cost of living a relatively relaxed life.

The second meaning is that it is a song about being in love with someone who is hard to love. If I choose peace, that is to say I leave them and give up on love. If I choose love, I forfeit peace and continue bearing the burden of loving that person.

It's sort of like a classic 'I'm in love with the villain' story, which I am always a sucker for. There's something so romantic about the notion of "everyone thinks you're an awful person but I'm going to love you anyway, no matter how hard it is."

I was actually inspired by a movie soundtrack called 'Tema D' Amore - Version 2' from Cinema Paradiso (1988).

Honestly, this is one of the prettiest, most romantic songs I have ever heard in a film score. I actually heard it first from a Simpsons episode, which is kinda random, but it did domino into me making this song so I had to mention where I first heard it.

So, I then took the same key that this song is in (G minor) and started producing 'peace OR love'.

I knew I wanted a particularly dreamy, almost vaporwave-like sound, along with a reggaeton beat. I haven't heard many synthpop/reggaeton songs, so I wanted to blend the two genres.

What I ended up with was the final product, 'peace OR love'.

As with all of the songs on this album, this track was mixed & mastered by John D. Norten, who has worked with many artists including Lady Gaga and Prince. The vision would not have been realized without his expertise, which I am immensely grateful for.

Thank you for reading all the way to the end! If you enjoyed this post, consider checking out the rest of my music!

I have a new single called 'the MUSIC MAN' which will be out on September 15th (2023), so pre-save it here & follow me on other social media platforms for sneak previews of it ahead of the release!
