Weird music for weird weirdos who are weird.
Take a look at that address up there in the address bar. What a nightmare! Do yourself a favor and bookmark it! ++++++++++ We humans tend to get attached to things. We enjoy feeling certain ways and doing certain things, and we do everything within our power to feel those ways and do those things more often. This is perfectly natural, but it does carry with it some dire implications. Specifically, the crafty strategies that we devise in order to approach this and avoid that wind up taking us in circles. Our lives start to become focused on these formulas rather than the desired states of being that had inspired them. Ultimately, we find ourselves trapped in labyrinths of obsolete pleasantries, frustrated with, though largely unwilling to admit, the fact that they no longer work. From here, we spiral down into a profound inflexibility characterized by obsessive attention to impertinent minutia, growing increasingly isolated and at odds with others in the world around us. This in turn leads to all forms of violent oppression and insanity. Reconsiderate addresses this issue by confronting the furthest extrapolations of these "obsolete pleasantries". What he uncovers are unanticipated (or acknowledged) "bumps in the road", repressed nightmares that are just itching to find their way to the surface. In these moments of confrontation, Reconsiderate's intentions are that the dysfunctional strategies be recognized as short-sighted and finite miscalculations, deserving only to be purged as we "go back to the drawing board". As such, Reconsiderate is best understood as a force that supports our spiritual and psychological evolution, even at the expense of our comfort. The word itself, "reconsiderate", can be understood as an adjective that means "able and willing to adapt or change". It is rightly applied to anyone who understands that every aspect of his being-- from his most lofty ideals down to his most basic assumptions about life-- is subject to infinite scrutiny and is eventually destined to be torn down, razed to clear space for What Will Follow. Reconsiderate folk know when it is their time to go, and resist not at all. They work with the "little death", aware that some immutable aspect of their soul survives it, and that only this immortal facet of the soul is worth their time and attention in the first place. Why get attached to anything else??

Story behind the song
Upon his request, I "covered" one of Neo Leper's poems. Rewrote and reorganized the words a bit, and wrote all the music. Here's his page.
Lyrics
A storm is brewing. See, the winds are blowing, and the rain is pouring. The earth is shaking. Volcanoes are exploding. Some people are looking while others are just slighting it. Some are stealing, while others are giving. Some are losing, but some are winning. Minds are stopping yet the world keeps spinning. To leave the world of pain, leave the world of the insane. The news is flashing: the economy is crashing. Politicians are lying and the weak are crying. Violence is spreading. Certain people are preventing others from living. No one is helping, only ignoring. Our kids are floundering. From sky to sea, from sea to earth, from you to me, the spirit gives birth. Back to the world of pain, back to the world of the insane. There’s no denying our world is dying. Mountains falling, thunder and lightning. To end of the world of pain, end of the world of the insane.
