My new album is finally out! For fans of David Bowie, MGMT, of Montreal, Kate Bush, and more! Streaming embed below this silly infomercial.
Thanks so much for all of you who have supported this journey, and also to the people who hate-reblogged because honestly I'll take that too.

my an/anhane fansong is up on youtube!
youtube
lyrics under cut :]
growing up in the streetlights
ending up in your shadow
they only know me by your name
I’ve been hearing the whispers they say
I don’t deserve the light I have
but I know I’ve been trying all the same
but I found you
and I thought here’s my second chance
I didn’t realise just how little you need that
you found me
and you thought from just a glance
that it was worth it
was it worth it
you’re just like what I want to be
or even better
I can see it in your eyes, so vivid
illuminating, recreating what I wanted out of me
your world, I’m living in it
living out by the streetlights
falling into your shadow
I’ll look back and think, why was I so dramatic
I know you, I know how fast you move
but I think they can see me, staying static
oh cause
you’re just like what I wanna be, but even better
I can see it your eyes so vivid
illuminating, recreating, what I hoped you’d learn from me
your world, i’m living in it
your world, I’m living
but you found me
and you were mesmerised
you want me to tag along
why should I be surprised
I found you
I could see it in your eyes
it would be worth it
I think it’s worth it
you’re just like what I wanna be
or even better
I can see it in your eyes, so vivid
illuminating, recreating everything I try to be
our world, we’re living in it
our world we’re living

TS tweet december 19, 2022 :
“Passing Through” - The amazing Kaden MacKay created an updated version of this tune, which felt very Virgil-y, so here’s an updated version of my cover 💜 (original)
Was going to wait til tomorrow to post this, but decided to swap it with my youtube vid* and OTHER video I made with Virgil, as the youtube video needed a bit more edit time to complete! So... Virgil's just gonna have a two-parter birthday, that's just what we're gonna do lol
*context: thomas mentioned on instagram planning to post a new youtube video on monday (today) but apparently he will post it tomorrow.

I know you told me I'm not your kind of guy I'm too warm; got too much heartache in my eyes...
A groovy song about losing yourself in unrequited love.
✶✶✶✶
This remastered version is a duet with my new and old voice (after about a year on testosterone)!

as promised, i present: “missed connections”
im still quite ill and my voice absolutely died by the second verse so the high notes sound awful, but i didnt want to make you guys wait any longer (im also not looking for criticism so id appreciate noone pointing out any flaws—its still a work in progress. and a reminder my pronouns are they/he/she :) )
i plan to wait until im properly rested and recovered before i send the song to her, but when i do you guys will be the first to know!
lyrics and context below the break
lyrics:
weve had a thousand missed connections but i still made it through to you
in other worlds we met before but no such luck for you—
and i, weve only just had our beginning
but im hoping that our end is years to come
both born part raised in england, both moved up here at just three
go to the same school but ill join six months after you leave
we share friends, but we're never introduced
so our lives two lines remain apart, side by side but never cross
we'll carry on without each other's heart
weve had a thousand missed connections but i still made it through to you
in other worlds we met before but no such luck for you—
and i, weve only just had our beginning
but im hoping that our end is years to come
now weve both moved onto high school but weve still missed one another
you almost joined me in our last years but one thing led to another
and you, you moved away to the big city
while i stayed here all alone
chasing loves who never loved me
not realising that ive yet to meet the one
weve had a thousand missed connections but ive still made it through to you
in other worlds we met before but no such luck for you—
and i, weve only just had our beginning
but im hoping that our end is years to come
i was an arrogant ass
you were loud and bold but hiding
somewhere along the way we changed
and suddenly we're minding—
our own business, when one day we met the one
now im sitting in my bedroom, writing down this song
weve had a thousand missed connections but i still made it through to you
in other worlds we met before but no such luck for you—
and i, weve only just had our beginning
but im hoping that our end is years to come
yeah im hoping that our end is years to come
background:
so, as the song says, throughout our lives weve had a bunch of 'missed connections', where we were a hair's breadth from meeting but just missed each other.
we were both born in england and moved to the same area of scotland at the same age, but i attended a different school at first. by the time i moved to the other school, she had just left six months before.
despite that, we shared a lot of the same friends, moreso as we got older but still a few when we were young. our friends mentioned us in passing to each other but not very often.
in high school, i had to transfer again because the school i went to didnt have the final two yeargroups, and she went through the same thing. it was planned that she and i would attend the same school, but there were some issues between her and a few other students that meant she had to go elsewhere.
now, we've both left school and ended up meeting online. we got talking and realised just how much in common we had (both took drama for only one year, in the same year [so if we'd have gone to the same high school, we wouldve definitely, no doubt about it, interacted through class], both enjoyed the same hobbies, had similar music taste etc) and then realised how many times we almost met.
then i went and had a crush, got overly attached, and wrote a song :)

father's son, finnished
this is shameless self promo but I wrote a song about dean. full lyrics below!
See the way you watch my hands on the wheel
You know some things you shouldn't feel
Tell me you don't think that way
You watch my lips when I pray
Hear you pace the halls at night
But it's harder to love than fight
Let me put my hands on you
I know you wanna hurt me too
Band-Aid in a broken home
And sex just makes me feel alone
Father said I found my worth
Six feet deep within the earth
Hear you say my name so loud
You'd find my face in every crowd
Swear I'm not like you at all
You always come when I call
Hunger is an awful drug
And I know that I'm hard to love
It's easier to make me bleed
But only so I'll see you grieve
Band-Aid in a broken home
And sex just makes me feel alone
Father said I found my worth
Six feet deep within the earth
Angels watching over me
Tell me I was born to bleed
A mother I'm a stranger to
Sees the way I look at you
I will sleep when I am dead
Tenderness just aches instead
I'm a sword without a shield
And I was taught to never yield
Oh kiss me
Oh kiss me
Tell me you don't mind
Tell me you don't mind
Tell me you don't mind

I knew it was too late for me to really catch up to that level of technique to play those kinds of pieces [classical pieces by composers like Mozart, by the time Matt was 19/20]. But I just wanted to try and incorporate that kind of mystery [that artists like Phillip Glass, Rachmaninoff and Franz Liszt had] into the band. And something that has had such an emotional resonance through history that it’s managed to live nearly two hundred years. I think a little bit of that started to creep through the second album, Origin of Symmetry, and then the new album [Absolution] as well.
It's so fascinating to me to hear Matt thinks there's an age beyond which you cannot get into more technical classical music. This is also funny because he's regarded as one of the finest pianists in rock music. Guess the takeaway is, sometimes your self-assessment of your abilities aren't the most accurate, huh? Keep going!
Taken from "Innocence And Absolution", Keyboard Magazine, June 2005

not my usual posts, we will go back to the silliest after this but!! I'd really appreciate it if people could check out my music on YouTube and interact with it as I've already got one gig but I'm looking to book for more and it would really help!
back to scripted silliness after this ;>
