Song information
I’ve been feeling a bit down lately, and my wife says my music has been sounding a bit too Emo/Goth. Hmm, hasn’t she noticed that I’ve been wearing black for the past 40 years? I even had eyeliner and black nails for a while. I outgrew that phase, but I’m still an Emo at heart.

Anyway, I’ve been listening to a band I love a lot, Big Audio Dynamite. It’s been years since I’ve played any of their music.

I’ve been experimenting with a new song, and I’ve been trying to blend Big Audio Dynamite’s sound with that of D.M. I guess that’s what I’m trying to do.

I also made a change to the pitch of the song. I started in Cmin and changed to Dmin to give it a lighter sound.

The song explores a hypothetical concept of time travel.
It depicts an individual traveling to arbitrary points in human history, resulting in a disjointed narrative that deviates from a standard chronological order.

Lyrics
RIDE THE LIGHTNING

VERSE 1

Racing past the ticking clock, 
Through portals glowing bright. 

Adventures calling endlessly, 
In flashes left and right.
Timelines twist, horizons shift, 
My heartbeat echoes loud. 

Running wild through history, 
Defiant, free, and proud.

CHORUS
Ride the lightning, 
Chase the storm. 

Cross dimensions, 
Break the norm.
Feel the fire, 
Dare to climb. 

On this thrill ride, 
Through time.

Ride the lightning, 
Hold the key. 

Rewrite every destiny.
Fearless journeys, 
Stars align. 

We're blazing trails, 
Through time.

VERSE 2

From pyramids to galaxies, 
Through storms of cosmic dust. 
Victorious in ancient wars, 
Rebel hearts filled with trust.
These modern cities, future dreams, 
Adventure's our decree. 

Defying fate, we recreate, 
Our own reality.

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE 3
Ancient echoes guide our steps, 
To secrets long concealed. 
Every choice unlocks a door, 
To truths now revealed.
Hand in hand, we're soaring high, 
Embracing the unknown. 
Writing tales among the stars, 
Our stories freely grown.

CHORUS

The blend is really good. I get these Mick Jones's BAD tones in the beats and effects and DM on the synths and vox ! You made it ! Great tune, G. Bravo.
