Decaying Orbit is an experimental, unorthodox, highly diverse & genre-splitting band from Texas led by their infamous front man Mike Ash. "No, this music's not about that, it's not about sound quality, it's about passion." - Mike Ash. Decaying Orbit is produced by their label, Decaying Enterprises Productions and has released many studio albums since they formed in 2008, after the violent break up of the Psychedelic Rock band, Strangefire, of which Mike was the former front man. Decaying Orbit believes in unadulterated musical & creative freedom, Mike describes their music as a "cathartic purge" or "nervous break downs caught on tape.". The band believes that creating music is a sacred, spiritual and magical art form brought to them by the Muses, wraiths and demons hidden just beyond the veil between the worlds of the physical and spiritual realms. Decaying Orbit has traveled beyond the veil and into the realms of the spirits, only to reemerge, like a caterpillar from it's cocoon emerging as a beautiful butterfly, so does Decaying Orbit get reborn through the fire of their cacophonous tunage. The band believes in complete freedom of lifestyle, I.E. sexuality, religion, spirituality, drugs, manner of dress etc. They believe that music is an interstellar language that needs no translation to be understood by absolutely anyone. It's the passion behind the emotions found in the music that matters to Decaying Orbit, they believe that integrity is more important than fortune or fame. This is our Decaying Orbit & we do hope that you will N'Joy tha' show!!!!

Story behind the song
OK, so, during the Strangefire days, I told Tak!, the keyboardist of Strangefire, that ANYONE could write a "standard rock song", that rock was just THAT simple. He, in turn, challenged me to come up with my own & teased me that I wouldn't be able to, well, THAT is how this song came to exist. This tune is MY version of a "standard rock song". It was recorded in 2006 & subsequently released on the Mike Ash album, "The Heart Of Mara Iz Distraction" in 2008 on Decaying Enterprises.
Lyrics
jumpin' to tha dead beat, chokin' on a pipe dream, everyone is happier, everyone is like me, but I don't think they like me and I just want to leave, all the clouds are growing trees, watch myself as I bleed, into your abstractual, ambiental soundscape, online entries, never ever copulate, holding back to justify all the things you say, I just want out of here, you won't let me go away, I just want out of here, but you won't let me go away.... waiting for my space ship, take me on a little trip, can't wait to see the other side, mirrored in reflected eyes, all the freaks shall never speak of the little truth held just beneath... I don't even care now, I don't mind if I miss out.... I don't think I'll make it 'round this little bend, I can't even try to, I don't even want to be with you... I just want out of here, you won't let me go away... Lyrics By: Mike Ash (C)Decaying Enterprises 2017
