Another early song of mine, I did most of the instrumentation, including the piano solo and electricity noises, on my DAW. I am also the lead vocalist and the performer in the music video. Being over 50, I was slightly intimidated about wearing a metallic catsuit to portray Energy, but I did it! The song was produced by T.O.L.D, the video by DevWorks Productions.
Description
This song was born from an exploration of thoughts around scientists like Hans Bethe, whose advances in descriptors of energy, particularly quantum and star energy, contributed to the bombs built, later used on Japan. It feels like a dark song, but it’s just a song about energy! Everything is energy. It’s why galaxies collapse. It’s why there’s an atom bomb. It’s why water clings to itself on the rim of a glass. But that thought does beg the question, even when everything’s going beautifully, is it really? Are we just equations, electrons, unbalanced ions? No different than an atom bomb?
Bio
Resonate Star – Rzn8Str is an experimental, global project with the mission of transporting music from the Universe to Planet Earth. When we are not creating songs, we keep busy challenging the notion that time is linear, that existence is finite, that ours is the only universe, that we live only once. We would love to tell you an unforgettable story through our songs, if you will come and dance on the edge with us!
Rzn8Str is a muse-led project, under the guidance of Danica Odyssey (vocalist, instrumentalist “receiver of the songs”) with stunning violin from RogueViolin , Nikki Franklyn on vocals/electric guitar, Dan Ince on drums. Aldo Spadaro will debut on electric guitar, with Ze-4, releasing in May!
The Rzn8Str songs are sewn together the captivating production skills of T.O.L.D., and our zany music videos come to life under the direction of Devin Wiemann at DevWorks Productions. (Rzn8Str Official Channel on YT.)
We aim to traverse boundaries of time, space, and life, transporting songs from different eras to your present one. You may set about to discover the labyrinth of metaphysical mysteries hidden in their lyrics, or just groove to the music on a melodic and nostalgic trip. We seek artistic and astral souls who would like to come aboard the StarShip! We’re creating a fan hub at rzn8str.space. And of course, we walk among you in real life – in the various places we have taken up temporary residency on this planet.

Lyrics
Energist (by Rzn8Str)
So, babe, are you the one, babe?
The blister of the sun, babe?
UV all ordinary
Painting spectral lines
Dancing on predetermined coordinates
Shapeshift, redefine
I’ve danced this way in many lives
With loves like equations
Haphazardly affixed
Each to our stations
Convinced in our prisons
We ain’t ion collisions
Passions all driven
By a driver indifferent
The one who splits atoms
And collapses suns
And binds the wine
To the rim of our glasses
And moves all our asses
The Jew and the fascist
The nun and the classist
The somnambulant and spastic
(I’m falling into a dream, into a dream, into a dream. I feel so good being with you, so positive. But is that just energy? Just vibration? Just me spinning at my optimum? Therein lies the question. And therein lies a lot of loneliness. I’m falling. Falling. I’m falling into a dream, into a dream)
So, babe, are you the one, babe?
The blister of the sun, babe?
UV all ordinary
Painting spectral lines
So, babe, are you the one, babe?
The blister of the sun, babe?
UV all ordinary
Painting spectral lines
Dancing on predetermined coordinates
Shapeshift, redefine
I’ve danced this way in many lives
With loves like equations
Haphazardly affixed
Each to our stations
Convinced in our prisons
We ain’t ion collisions
Passions all driven
By a driver indifferent
The one who splits atoms
And collapses suns
And binds the wine
To the rim of our glasses
And moves all our asses
The Jew and the fascist
The nun and the classist
The somnambulant and spastic
(I’m falling into a dream, into a dream, into a dream. I feel so good being with you, so positive. But is that just energy? Just vibration? Just me spinning at my optimum? Therein lies the question. And therein lies a lot of loneliness. I’m falling. Falling. I’m falling into a dream, into a dream)
So, babe, are you the one, babe?
The blister of the sun, babe?
UV all ordinary
Painting spectral lines
