about

A track inspired by the story of the Arawak peoples.

The story of the 'great' explorer, Columbus, greed and genocide:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arawak_peoples

lyrics

This man who has everything
His heart's a rusty tin
He's forgotten what he's done
To build an empire to the sun

Tin man comes in ships for gold
Takes our blood and leaves us cold
Our hands were open and welcoming
He cut them off to appease his king

Takes our families across the sea
Mother to the pit, no crops for our bellies
Copper token round my neck weighs heavy
They'll cut me down if I don't pay their levy

Tin man's built up great capital
Progress formed from slavish chattel
Built Babel upside down
Shed his brother's blood to gain a crown

about

Atoms for Infants / Alex Kelly Birmingham, UK

I tend to make darker post/pyche/prog rock tracks. Influences come from anywhere from prog rock to folk, classical to electronic.

My creative method is mainly iOS based but I dabble in recording live instruments including piano, guitar and vocals.
