about

This is a song with finished lyrics centered around music, perseverance and your own ability to affect how you look at life. Sort of a demo recording for the time being.

lyrics

"""
I found a rhythm of a lasting kind
That leads my way far into yonder

Spellbound, I take another step inside my mind
On every day, each hour and minute far beyond today

Sometimes, the prison of a haunted mind
Can be avoided with compassion

Inside, I let the music guide me all the time

It's like an everlasting wave that washes over me



I won't refrain
I'm permanently on repeat

Won't refrain

I'll just keep singing
Verse by verse and beat by beat

Like a record life is playing
And you can't be but a slave

While each rotation
Takes you closer to the grave

But there is a section in the song
That's of your own design

And it's you who writes the words
that get those sentences to rhyme

It's your refrain the deck will play
And it will be the same

Your refrain

When the rest is changing
It's the part that will remain



Somewhere, a melody was planted right
Its notes so masterfully crafted

Could I wear this music with all fabrics woven tight
Just like the tailor-fitted song that it was meant to be?

Tomorrow, I never know what makes the day
Which chord, which scale, which bridge thereafter

But you know, the final word is still your own to say

It's your refrain:
Those lines that tell you how your life will be



I won't refrain
I'm permanently on repeat

Won't refrain

I'll just keep singing
Verse by verse and beat by beat

Like a record life is playing
And you can't be but a slave

While each rotation
Takes you closer to the grave

But there is a section in the song
That's of your own design

And it's you who writes the words
that get those sentences to rhyme

It's your refrain the deck will play
And it will be the same

Your refrain

When the rest is changing
It's the part that will remain

Stellar Maggots Evanston, Illinois

A project started by Lauri Movall. While he's making mostly instrumental music as Sheobi, Stellar Maggots is more about songs: quirky but singable.

Also experimenting with AI music generation.

It's unclear whether this ever becomes a collaboration between more people or even an actual band, but at this point it's mostly a channel for somewhat different music than what the Sheobi name represents. ... more
