What’s happening on House of Imp?
Nag Radio – an every Now And Again, show with the latest, dumbest, awkwardest, most absurdest but also a fair bit of the every day tedium of This House of Imp. In other words: business as usual.
What’s happening on House of Imp?
Nag Radio – a rouchly twice a month show with the latest, dumbest, awkwardest, most absurdest but also a fair bit of the every day tedium of This House of Imp. In other words: business as usual.
So Corium, our second album, has been in the works for two years. It is finally ready. The release date is yet to be determined. Even after the music is done, there are so many things to do.
Some of those things do carry a cost. And that’s where you come in. We need you to join us in making this happen without too much pain.
So why not support your favourite webmaster and her band?
When you support Icarus machine — the band, you also support JennyK and The House of Imp. And let’s be honest; you might hate prog-metal. Or any metal come to that. You might even hate steam-punk fiction. But that’s perfectly fine. This creator of music, words, and the House of Imp website just needs support to do what she loves to do. Becoming a patron is the easiest way to give your support. It’s easy for me and easy for you. When you join patreon and decide to support your favourite creator, you give up a few of dollars every month. And that, believe it or not, makes a difference.

About this song:
Dissonance is a song that defies genre. It’s prog-rock, goth-rock, emo, and a bit of experimental. but mostly it’s defined by the emotional tension and disregard for standards that is typical JennyK. I’m glad to have Icarus Machine with its own particular style of metal produce this song.

Dissonance
Lyrics by jenny K Brennan
I said hi, I said hello, I said I think that I need you.
You said hey, you said sure, what do you need me for?
I said oh, never mind, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know.
I’ll do it on my own.
It takes two to pitch a proper fight.
It takes two to propagate a lie.
It takes two to pose a question.
It takes two to play a proper game.
It takes two to make someone believe.
It takes two to build a connection.
But only one to shut it down.
At the end of the day I just wanted someone to know me.
At the end of my song I am dissonant.
At the edges I’m frayed.
At the end of the night I just wanted somewhere to belong.
A place where I can always go.
At the end of the day I just wanted you to hear me in my dissonance.
It takes two to pitch a proper fight.
It takes two to validate a lie.
It takes two to make a friendship.
but only one to let it die.
It takes two to play a proper game.
It takes two to make someone believe.
It takes two to build a connection.
At the end of the day I just wanted someone to care that I feel at the end of my line.
I don’t know what’s beyond here, beyond here.
At the end of the day I just wanted someone to know me.
At the end of the day I just want to know I matter.
To you.
It takes two to pitch a proper fight.
It takes two to propagate a lie.
It takes two to change perception.
But only one to see it my way.
It takes two to play a proper game.
It takes two to build connection.
but only one to break it down.
This separation is all mine.
Anxiety is blind.
I know in my mind you’re all around.
But at the end of the day it’s just me, myself, and I.
In your voice I hear reason.
In your absence I hear treason.
After all, that’s what I came to know.
It takes two to pick a different fight.
It takes two to ease somebody’s fright.
It takes two to make perfection.
But only one to deny.
It takes two to start a different game.
It takes two to build another faith.
It takes to to make connection.
but only one to break it down.
I said hi, I said hello, I said I think that I need you.
You said hey, you said sure, what do you need me for?
I said hi, I said hello, I said I think that I need you.
Hello?
For December 2017, we picked a couple of great tracks produced by artists from kompoz.com.
This is the first of many more episodes featuring some of our favorite creations. There will be more independant music but also books and movies we simply can’t not talk about. This Kompoz showcase features two collaborations:
Never Enough:
Stop, then begin again
the professor just killed Gilligan
It’s the fallout of a contract dispute
Cold, how the wind blows
Play it close to the vest, everybody knows
you’ll lose it all if you get too cute
I was happy before holding next to nothing
now it’s never enough
(I got a lot but it’s never enough)
I’ve come to find
what’s good is better four times over
again and again
Try to pretend… keep it all until the end
Stop!… before you judge me
I put a nickel in the bucket for charity
want some more but I know for sure
that’s it’s never enough
Wait… Here’s something worthwhile
I’ll rake it in with two hands to make a pile
It’s a good start but I’m not done yet
It’s never enough
I got a lot but I still want more
The kind of things that you buy at the good stores
I need the finer things in life, don’t you??
I gotta get another BMW
I speed by all the people with the normal stuff
I got a lot… but it’s never enough!
The chemicals are alluring
Revving up for relapse
Drastic measures
All include dispensing
Waning patience
None of which concerns me
You got – I want
And it’s all worth pursuing
I see no sense in all my misbehaving
I run to you with seething expectation
You are the perfect catalyst in binding
Mine – I’ll do most anything to make you mine
Like your hands are shaking
Worthy of relapse
Are my senses fading?
Into you and all through me
Complicating ecstasy
Another way – some other find
Condescending alibi
Another time of finding you
The passion magic that you do
In all too few it confuses some
You know there ain’t no other way
I see no sense in all my misbehaving
I run to you with seething expectation
You are the perfect catalyst in binding
Mine – I’ll do most anything to make you mine
Progress halted by medicinal menu
Heartache – heart race – hands are made for trembling
The desert – distance – and only you I engage
Thrashing – controlling – and I can’t find this calling
Revving up for relapse
Revving up for relapse
Revving up for relapse
Enjoy!
