Name: Diva
Duration: P00H03M55S
Description: Based on a riff that's been stuck in my ears and head for seemingly forever and was intended as an intro to a long prog suite this track finally turned into a straight forward rocker no less. Another somewhat YouTube "hit". Crank up the volume!

lyrics

Stare like cold Greek marble
You never give yourself away
In your ivory tower of babel
Try to relive your glory days

Veil all your insecurities
Behind polite pretense
And nonsensical obscurities
There’s no gap in your defense

Never surrender to pure passion
Your emotions all in check
Ever on top of trends and fashion
Your spirit’s always up to spec

Act out your absurd opera
All love and war, devotion, lies
Squeal live a deaf and mute diva
And in the end, everybody dies

You ride like Sancho Panza
Into the twilight of your days
Roll like a Jerry Panzer
Through the front line of your craze

Your world view’s so Ambrosian
And your outlook Kafkaesque
Never give in to raw emotions
But can you really stand the test

A Journal Of The Plague Year (a compilation)
by Sunex Amures

Fellow bandcamper Sunex Amures makes the best out of our year of the plague and releases one scorcher after another. From rocking Baroque Prog to funky, punky Psyche it's all there. Unmissable. Schönfeld

Holy Wars
by Tuxedomoon

Heroes. Gods. No other band sounded like them 40 odd years ago, and no band does now. Avantgarde, left-field and immensely listenable - you simply MUST hear these guys' work. Schönfeld

Live with The No.6 Orchestra
by Everything Everything

Proof that intelligent Rock and Pop is alive and well! Blending angular guitar work, otherworldly vocals and vast soundscapes with modern rhythms this youngsters succeed where other fail. Great stuff! Schönfeld
