Lyrics:
"Divided in their hearts...
misfortune beckoning them under.
Each pony played their parts...
I heard it coming like a thunder.
The endless mystery...
this daunting task called harmony!
Withheld inside the truth...
It's pushing you to make them stronger!
I stand up in this time of hurt,
a leader born to save the fallen...
I'm knelt before this throne of dirt,
I try to run but it's still callin'
I feign my valour and step forward,
for just ahead lies so much more...
I say a prayer and pursuit toward,
and now I'm reaching for the door!
(Chorus)
Let me be,
The figurehead that they needed to see in me!
Hear my plea, (every heart that's longing freely!)
I will not let all my fears I have take over!
Syncope!
I'm falling and fading, but the fight is still out there!
Help me breathe!
I must go on...
and bring the darkness to dawn!"
Lyrics:
"I am flying to the treetops
where no pony can be seen,
as I contemplate my feelings
on the place that I've just been!
I saw love and joy and friendship
oh so perfect and serene!
Every creature sang together
in a captivating scene!
There was magic in their hearts
and passion never set to wean,
and it touched me in a way
of which I cannot contravene!
Now inside my head there is the tune
repeating its routine,
as I look back on my visit
to that Town Of Opaline!"
about
NeighGative_ (Pronounced "Negative Space") is a side-project derived from the artistic concept of a deeper subject focus, cleverly integrated within the confines of a blank surrounding margin. The interpretation of the
creator's piece is sometimes left up to the viewer, whilst the artist's true intent remains ambiguous. Other works, are much more obvious and outwardly purposeful.The true meaning of "NeighGative_" in this case, is of the latter
ideology. To create a "negative space artwork" you must have two contrasting design elements, working together seamlessly to achieve the desired result. That's what the alias is all about...a goal of togetherness, and harmony
through music.
The genre of "trance" was always a passion of mine. Back in its earliest days, clubs, raves, festivals, and concert halls were packed with people of every age, race, religion, gender identity, background, and walk of life, to celebrate the humanity and love that the genre expresses. For one shining moment, there was a place of unity and solitude,
away from a world of pain, prejudice, greed, oppression, and divide, where people could come together under one roof, to enjoy beautiful melodies, set to drums akin to that of a human heartbeat.Trance music encompasses the beauty of life, as well as the sad bits too. Trance is an emotional genre, that pulls at your heartstrings, and in the same breath, makes you put your hands in the air. Listening to trance is an experience like no other, working both the body and the mind in ways few other genres can. My respect and love for trance music has always been there, and the chance to finally go back to my roots and write this album, has been a blessing, and a creative
experience like no other!
The name "A Place in a Different Time" references a dream I had, in which an outpost of "Ponyville" was found nestled within the Glencoe mountains of Scotland. The fantasy itself was very peaceful, inspiring, and wonderful to witness within that momentary "dreamstate" and when I awoke, the identity of the would-be album was born. There are musical tie-ins to this premonition throughout the record, the most manifest being within the title track itself. I hope the experience
of listening to this anthology, will take you on a trip, to a place of magic, wonder, mystery, love, and togetherness!
Massive shoutouts go to Makenshi, Nevermourn, Whirly, Xol, @pple, Vio, and Lexy for pushing me to embrace this new project and give it a go!
Extra special shouts go to SpinScissor, for his lovely performance on "Syncope," and to the amazingly talented Elyse Shackleton/MathematicPony, and her beautiful vocal work on the bonus track, "Town of Opaline." I appreciate
the two of you more than I could possibly put into words! Thank you for your contributions, support, love, and kindness!
Finally, a much deserved shoutout MUST be given to each and every one of my fans, followers, friends, and family members who have supported me since the beginning. This album wouldn't exist without you, and that's a fact I'll never take lightly! Thank you for helping me "live the dream" and partake in so many amazing experiences at conventions, and festivals. I will never forget those moments, or the impact they've had on my life! I cherish you all from the bottom of my heart, and I'm eternally grateful for the time you've given me over the years! It means more than you could ever know! Thank You!!!! <3
