I fit the time on my feet It’s tapping to the beat The time is shown on my feet And when it runs out of time I drop the beat on my line And then I go for a ride ‘Cos all I’m wanting to be here Is the obscurity in a masterpiece The music is so fine And it’s in good time Yeah it’s in good time, time, time ‘Cos who knows what you say I’d like to do that anyway But know that it all is mine Who cares what you play As long as you sound ever gay The song will complete it’s time I’m checking time on the clock While I’m stuck here in this box Writing’s just not enough I wanna go out and play Enjoy my faithful days Before it all fades away ‘Cos there’s just nothing to see here In this room of sound When there’s no one around I’m just wanting to be here And I don’t know why But here I waste my time, time, time ‘Cos who knows what you say I’d like to do that anyway But know that it all is mine Who cares what you play As long as you sound ever gay The song will complete it’s time ‘Cos who knows what you say I’d like to do that anyway But know that it all is mine Who cares what you play As long as you sound ever gay The song will complete it’s time ‘Cos who knows what you say I’d like to do that anyway But know that it all is mine Who cares what you play As long as you sound everglades The song will complete it’s time

Oh, tonight it’s dark and I’m no ordinary boy Slowflight, the light goes on and I’m not ordinary One jubilee dance is all I ask tonight And once you will do that, it will be real nice Oh, what fun, it’s ice on the slippery river And a gun frozen solid beneath the ice And whoa, there is a man attached to the knife And oh, what baggy clothes he has through the ice Who is a saint here anymore Who hasn’t walked on through that door Who sits here with a grasp tonight Who laughs at the eternal light Oh, it’s dark, I’m on the ice no ordinary ice For sure, it’s cold outside, it’s bitter tasting I, for one have no problems with head lice And I will not take back what I said to you tonight Who isn’t stained here anymore Who hasn’t knocked on heaven’s door Who sits and listens to the night Coming of the realization christ Who is a saint here anymore Who hasn’t walked on through that door Who sits here with a grasp tonight Who laughs at the eternal light

Here I learned the family is dead And there’s lots of rules to this song, you know And now the tables have turned The dead don’t speak ill of the living on and on And on and on and on And on and all day long They speak ill of the dead And on and on and on And on and watch this song They speak their minds instead Here I am in the graveyard And we’re all sad to see your passing, now you know The priest has done his job He’s convinced the like of us all, that he is sane and on And on and on and on and on And on and on and on and on And on and on and on and on And on and on and on and on And on and on and on and on And on and on and on and on And on and on and on and on And on and on and on And on and all day long They speak ill of the dead And on and on and on And on and watch this song They speak their minds instead

Everything that you do is right I see you can be true tonight When he touches you You know that can’t be right You are my sweet little angel tonight Everything that you say is fact I know you cannot lie intact When I sing to you And you tend to relax You are my sweet little angel, in fact And I wrote down because I love you in a song And you wear my crown because You are never wrong Everything that you think is love I’ll never do things that he does When he bothers you You know that he’s not tough You are my sweet little angel in love And I wrote down because I love you in a song And you wear my crown because You are never wrong Everything that you think is love I’ll never do things that he does When he bothers you You know that that’s not love You are my sweet little angel in love (You are my sweet little angel in love) yeah You are my sweet little angel in love (You are my sweet little angel in love) yeah You are my sweet little angel You are my sweet little angel You are my sweet little angel in love

I will return, I will return When you’ve had your fun The sun, it bursts of magma spurts I’m on the run And when you run across the sun You’ve had your fun So just forget it, now I am done You’ve really lost I will return, your bank, it hurts Alot I’ve done I’ll see it hurts, your magma bursts All over the gun And when you’re rescued from the sun I’ll be it hurts So just forget it, now you’re done Can’t get much worse I will return, I will return I will return, I will

Well he’s been dragging up your way He’s filling lots of odds And he’s in the vestibule Well he’s the pride of old New Jersey He stands on his pop stars And he’s so damn mystifying You see the light in his eyes He goes through the other way And he falls through to I don’t know He’s there in the kaleidoscope But he is not too happy about it all You see the top of the morning show He looks so out of place But he stays in his character To where he’s at, and what he’s after But he is not too happy about it all Well he’s been traveling Norway He’s fulfilling his desires And he’s on the fuselage Well he’s the pride of old New Jersey He stands on his pop stars And he’s so damn mystifying He goes off to find himself He cannot live in outer space He spends money I don’t know why He’s got everything he wants But he is not too happy about it all See the light drain from his eyes He wants just to get away Mid-life crisis and altered skies He’s so helpless, he’s in disguise But he is not too happy about it all Well he’s been dragging up your way He’s filling lots of odds And he’s in the vestibule Well he’s the pride of old New Jersey He stands on his pop stars And he’s so damn mystifying Well he’s been traveling Norway He’s fulfilling his desires And he’s on the fuselage Well he’s the pride of old New Jersey He stands on his pop stars And he’s so damn mystifying

Hold your own and sofa waiting to the scene Hold the phone I can’t stop waiting On and on until your eyeballs will all bleed And it’s all the name of the bloody game Shooting carter because he’s insane Hold your testicles and raise them to the sky Morning loss and gain and waiting here to die On and on this billboard chart now we will fly And it’s all the name of the bloody game Shooting carter because he’s insane Hold your slice of pizza when your alone Can’t afford to have us cash in on the phone Aeroplanes in the sky, we’re coming home And it’s all the name of the bloody game Shooting carter because he’s insane And it’s all the name of the blood red game Shooting carter

What is right and what is wrong Not to fight and not to sing along When we go away so bad We will smell the earth Winds of change are blowing ever near What is wrong and what is right I sing my song in the dead of night We will never tune you out Your majesty to me We will sing you better by the sea We are all living by the sea It’s exactly what I hoped it’d be When the moon comes down To take us all away I will be better again some day What is right and what is wrong I fly my kite to the tune of the song We will sing a lullaby Goodnight to my day And I will be better Yes, I will be better again someday

Come to the castle and bring the shauv Never knowing what's light and dark All the overseas ships will dock Hold over these agent’s clock Come to the castle and bring the shauv Never knowing who’s right and who's wrong Come to the castle and bring the shauv Never knowing what's light and dark All the overseas ships will dock Hold over these agent’s clock Come to the castle and bring the shauv Never knowing who’s right and who's wrong

We’re talking about the weirdo He’s really something special When I talk, he talks and he looks real weird to me He will share his burrito Stop and go on again Stop stop stop and then he blows off his head And when the winds of time will stand there sea to sea And we will be accommodated, just you wait and see We’re talking about the gun freak He’s really something funny When I talk he looks back as if he’s weird to me He has a lot of money Stop and go on again Stop stop stop and then he blows off my head And when the winds of time will stand there sea to sea And we will be accommodated, just you wait and see

Indian girl Faces in the sand Traces of an American band I see it clearly in this night sand All the way from here Faces appear in clans Reading, writing and making plans Where they will come from and where they’ll land Far away from here And when it’s time to say hello to our new friends We will go back a day and money that she’ll send And when their time will bring us closer to our time It’s magical, magical, magical, child Faces in the desert sand Appearing more often than my old man Once you swim deeply, you will not land Far away from here Faces in the hourglass sands Leaning on faces and gentle hands I will see them when they come back We’ll go away from here And when it’s time to say hello to our new friends We will go back a day and money that she’ll send And when their time will bring us closer to our time It’s magical, magical, magical, child Faces in the sand Traces of an American band I see it clearly in this night sand All the way from here Faces appear in clans Reading, writing and making plans Where they will come from and where they’ll land Far away from here Far away from here

"The Obscurity"
www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTahHXEimNQ

"Speak Ill Of The Dead"
www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Cas7tz8DBg

Just a pop album to start off the year. "Observing Obscurities" is simply just a collection of songs I've been writing around this time. No theme, no concept, just a fun pop album. Heavily inspired by Power Pop bands of both the 1960's and the 1990's, and some from the 2000's. This album features a lot of changes in tone. From the produced songs like "The Obscurity" and "Speak Ill Of The Dead" to the lo-fi blood baths of "Albeit, I'll Be It, So Be It" and "Shooting Carter." This album has it all. A great introduction to the music of Ryan Chisefsky. This album really has everything. Minus the concepts.
