This Is Just Illusion (1982)

by pgcd

supported by

conor1977 This track is my absolute jam.

It's designed to sound like a lost artifact and it gives you that pleasant feeling of the uncanny.

I love the dirge-y vocals and the music makes me think of winter nights huddled around a tape recorder with friends in my garage.

He made it free here on BandCamp but I think it's worth a couple of beans to support great work. Favorite track: This Is Just Illusion (1982).

about

Forty years too late.
Still sounds like the BASF you copied from your hip friend's Maxell IV.

lyrics

This is just illusion
The self-deceiving mind
A trick we call perception
When we forget that we are really blind

There is only illusion
The seed of all desire
A fleeting satisfaction
Won’t quench thirst, will not douse the fire

This is all illusion
The root of pain and fear
No need for salvation
There is nothing here but

EYES ARE LIES ARE LIES ARE LIES ARE BEAUTIFUL

This is all, this is only, this is just illusion
