Josh Rumble and I started a project together last night called Flight of Aesir. Here is the first song we wrote together -
Vampire Hours - Flight Of Aesir
sit around the fire
watch the embers dance
its not quite romance
but we can make do
now her dagger flirts with your back
semi-sweet shadows she casts more black
look into her dead doll eyes-
are you surprised?
and you thought she’d never told a lie
now, tell me they dont look like me,
they dont sing like me
its my heartbeat next to yours as we fall asleep
we can wait for the morning sun to rise
oh we can sleep through the day
shoot her perfume into my veins, come alive
living vampire hours to make us feel okay
if you wanna go hunt for
true love then load your gun
catch my eye, let all the blood run
out of me like i caught the blues
imagine their faces when we crush them all to dust
semi-sweet words standing on a half-trust
mannequin love affair,
is it fair?
oh fingertip lover, we are almost there
now, tell me they dont look like me,
they dont sing like me
its my heartbeat next to yours as we fall asleep
we can wait for the morning sun to rise
oh we can sleep through the day
shoot her perfume into my veins, come alive
living vampire hours to make ourselves feel okay
morse code flash
SOS lights
dot dash dot
is it love or a fistfight?
under the sheets
between you and me
waking disbelief
blue dream city
now falling free
ill lick the blood from your teeth
we can wait for the morning sun to rise
oh we can sleep through the day
shoot her perfume into my veins, come alive
living vampire hours to make ourselves feel okay
all the blood runs out of me
all the blood runs out of me
all the blood runs out of me
we can wait for the morning sun to rise
oh we can sleep through the day
shoot her perfume into my veins, come alive
living vampire hours to make ourselves feel okay

THE SITUATION - In Washington , DC , at a Metro Station, on a cold January morning in 2007, this man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, approximately 2,000 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
After about 3 minutes, a middle-aged man noticed that there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds, and then he hurried on to meet his schedule.
About 4 minutes later:
The violinist received his first dollar. A woman threw money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.
At 6 minutes:
A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.
At 10 minutes:
A 3-year old boy stopped, but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head the whole time. This action was repeated by several other children, but every parent - without exception - forced their children to move on quickly.
At 45 minutes: The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while.
About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.
After 1 hour:
He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed and no one applauded. There was no recognition at all.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before, Joshua Bell sold-out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100 each to sit and listen to him play the same music.
This is a true story. Joshua Bell, playing incognito in the D.C. Metro Station, was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people’s priorities.
This experiment raised several questions:
*In a common-place environment, at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty?
*If so, do we stop to appreciate it?
*Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?
One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made …
How many other things are we missing as we rush through life?
