Michael's Mix Tape, Vol 1. Recorded onto cassette sometime in the year 94-95 from the radio. Stolen by Jessica Lucino during the events of the Werewolf Meat Balloon Incident of 2014.

Singing in the Guts written by Mad Knight and Jessica Lucino

I'm singing in the guts,
Just singing in the guts.
What a glorious feelin',
I'm happy again.
I'm laughing at the clots,
so red up above!
There?s gore on my hands
And I?m ready for gloves.
Let the blood spatter chase
Everyone from the place.
Come on with the guts
I?ve got a sneer on my face.
I stalk down the alley
With a chilling rally.
Just singin?,
Singin? in the guts.

Dancin? in the guts
Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah
Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah
I?m happy again!
I?m singin? and dancin? in the guts!
I?m dancing? and singin? in the guts?


Why do I sneer
And why do I growl?
Why do wolves
Look up to the moon to howl?
Why do I come out
Each night and prowl?
Curious and nose out
Full of scents so foul.
Why do I always
Do the things that I do?
Because I am aspiring to be
Nothing like you.

(Sung to the tune of Singing in the Rain from the musical Singing in the Rain. Enjoy!)

Michael's Mix Tape, Vol 2. Put together after purchasing the records from the 'Catland' Jazz Club, mentioned in a recent Inn outing.

Jess & Michael. An OOC playlist of songs that have recently made us think of our characters. Not necessarily music they would listen to.

A Jessica Playlist. You know you want to listen and hear what's going on in her head. ;]

Don't let the darkness eat you up. Down the Line - Jos? Gonz?lez

Been in my head for a while now.

It's that time again. A new mixtape. Jess & Michael, Vol II.

Hey Chemical Night fans,

Last week, Grooveshark shut down shop suddenly and without warning. This means that all the soundtracks we've created for this folder are gone -- yeah, yeah, it really sucks. Thankfully, Jessica managed to get almost all the playlists and we're looking at options for other streaming services that will allow us to share them with others, so hopefully, if we're lucky, we'll have them all back up real soon.

In the meantime, go listen to some Morphine!

Johnny Cash is a favorite in general and often very fitting for these two.
But Halsey's cover of "I Walk the Line" makes it scream Jessica all that much more. Enjoy!! :smile:

"Mad Hatter" by Melanie Martinez

My friends don't walk, they run
Skinny dip in rabbit holes for fun
Popping, popping balloons with guns, getting high off helium
We paint white roses red,
Each shade from a different person's head
This dream, dream is a killer
Getting drunk with a blue caterpillar

I'm peeling the skin off my face
'Cause I really hate being safe
The normals, they make me afraid
The crazies, they make me feel sane

I'm nuts, baby, I'm mad,
The craziest friend that you've ever had
You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone
Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong
Over the bend, entirely bonkers
You like me best when I'm off my rocker
Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed
So what if I'm crazy? The best people are
All the best people are crazy, all the best people are

Where is my prescription?
Doctor, doctor please listen
My brain is scattered
You can be Alice,
I'll be the mad hatter.

I'm peeling the skin off my face
'Cause I really hate being safe
The normals, they make me afraid
The crazies, they make me feel sane

I'm nuts, baby, I'm mad,
The craziest friend that you've ever had
You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone
Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong
Over the bend, entirely bonkers
You like me best when I'm off my rocker
Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed
So what if I'm crazy? The best people are

You think I'm crazy, you think I'm gone
So what if I'm crazy? All the best people are
And I think you're crazy too, I know you're gone
That's probably the reason that we get along

I'm nuts, baby, I'm mad,
The craziest friend that you've ever had
You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone
Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong
Over the bend, entirely bonkers
You like me best when I'm off my rocker
Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed
So what if I'm crazy? The best people are
All the best people are crazy, all the best people are
All the best people are crazy, all the best people are

"Fire" by Barns Courtney

Lonely shadows following me
Lonely ghosts come calling
Lonely voices talking to me
Now I'm gone, now I'm gone, now I'm gone
And my mother told me, son let it be
Sold my soul to the calling
Sold my soul to a sweet melody
Now I'm gone, now I'm gone, now I'm gone

Oh gimme that fire
Oh gimme that fire
Oh gimme that fire
Burn, burn, burn

Oh, a thousand faces staring at me
Thousand times I've fallen
Thousand voices dead at my feet
Now I'm gone, now I'm gone, now I'm gone
And my mother told me, son let it be
Sold my soul to the calling
Sold my soul to a sweet melody
Now I'm gone, now I'm gone, now I'm gone

Oh gimme that fire
Oh gimme that fire
Oh gimme that fire
Burn, burn, burn

Ghosts and devils come calling
Calling my name oh, lost in the fire
blood is calling
Calling my name oh, lost in the fire

Oh gimme that fire
Oh gimme that fire
Burn, burn, burn

Oh gimme that fire
Oh gimme that fire
Oh gimme that fire
Burn, burn, burn

"Timebomb" by Bad Seed Rising

I am T-T-T-T-icking like a time bomb
4-3-2-1 ready let me drop
Burning like a falling star on fire
Let me say I?m a real live wire
I?m not whatcha call, whatcha call typical
The girl you never look at twice when you?re in the room
I?m exposed and it?s no surprise
What you didn?t see hits between the eyes

I?m, I?m ticking like a time bomb
I am about to blow
I?m, I?m ticking like a time bomb
Ready to drop explode
Spinning like a twister about to pull the trigger
I?m not the only one, I?m, I?m ticking like a time bomb
Come and get it, come and get it
Come and make a fuss
Won?t regret it, won?t forget it
Wreck it, change it up
Raise your hands to the rock and roll choir
Just a girl, just a girl on fire
Scream, scream, scream it from the rooftops
Listen to your heart beat until the dance stops
I?m exposed and it?s no surprise
What you didn?t see hits between the eyes

I?m, I?m ticking like a time bomb
I am about to blow
I?m, I?m ticking like a time bomb
Ready to drop explode
Spinning like a twister about to pull the trigger
I?m not the only one, I?m, I?m ticking like a time bomb

"Dark Nights" by Dorothy
Don't send me no angel
This city's too cold
Cause I need a man with a black heart of gold
Woah-oh-oh-ooh
Don't give me no lover
If he ain't got the stones
Cause I need a man who will fight for his own
Woah-oh-oh-ooh

I've seen dark nights (woah-oh)
Dark nights
But only the darkest light can deliver my love
Woah-oh-oh-oh
I've seen dark nights (woah-oh)
Dark nights
But only the darkest light can deliver my soul
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh

Can't take the fire (can't take the fire)
'Til you've fallen from grace (Woah-oh-oh-ooooh)
Cause I need a man
A man who's got blood on his hands
And the truth on his face

I've seen dark nights (woah-oh)
Dark nights
But only the darkest light can deliver my love
Woah-oh-oh-oh
I've seen dark nights (woah-oh)
Dark nights
But only the darkest light can deliver my soul
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Dark nights
Dark nights

Well I've seen dark nights (woah-oh)
Dark nights
But only the darkest light can deliver my soul
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh

Note: I was toying at the idea of one of the many million things I need to polish up and write and realized that this song in particular serves as perfect mood music for a scene in particular that needs finishing In the Cold Dark Earth. And for that reason, I thought this song essentially deserved to be posted twice. ;) And also, thanks to those who are patient and understanding that sometimes it takes me months / years to write something.

"The Humbling River" by Puscifer

Nature, nurture heaven and home
Sum of all, and by them, driven
To conquer every mountain shown
But I've never crossed the river

Braved the forests, braved the stone
Braved the icy winds and fire
Braved and beat them on my own
Yet I'm helpless by the river

Angel, angel, what have I done?
I've faced the quakes, the wind, the fire
I've conquered country, crown, and throne
Why can't I cross this river?

Angel, angel, what have I done?
I've faced the quakes, the wind, the fire
I've conquered country, crown, and throne
Why can't I cross this river?

Pay no mind to the battles you've won
It'll take a lot more than rage and muscle
Open your heart and hands, my son
Or you'll never make it over the river

It'll take a lot more than words and guns
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
The hands of the many must join as one
And together we'll cross the river

It'll take a lot more than words and guns
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
The hands of the many must join as one
And together we'll cross the river

(Nature, nurture heaven and home)
It'll take a lot more than words and guns
(Sum of all, and by them, driven)
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
(To conquer every mountain shown)
The hands of the many must join as one
And together we'll cross the river

(Braved the forests, braved the stone)
It'll take a lot more than words and guns
(Braved the icy winds and fire)
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
(Braved and beat them on my own)
The hands of the many must join as one
And together we'll cross the river

And together we'll cross the river
And together we'll cross the river

Nature, nurture heaven and home
And together we'll cross the river
And together we'll cross the river

Nature, nurture heaven and home
And together we'll cross the river
And together we'll cross the river
