“Prancer” lyrics:
how could it all be
we’ve never been dead
but never awake from this dream
how could it all be
we’ll never be dead
just mirrors running scared
slicing wrists while we look for our own mortality
all the lights went out cold
shadow covers the soul
essence of the world made ceremonial
now we all wait for the demise
what was the question
why do you need an answer
we make me nauseas
I guess it just means I need us
ripe for me to eat your juice runs sweet
never so good
funny how nothing chips away at us like us
check the unlocked door but it’s still locked
always locked
talk to me across the way as if you don’t even know me
and as if I could never give even half a fuck at all
for the record there is never anyone controlling
our trajectory is ours
funny thing is when this is all just memories
looking back will be the same as moving forward
I’ll probably give anything to try to go back in time
time when I didn’t have to
empty lips just for distraction
rip the demons from their sleep
fornicate inside me
gouge my eyes out so I’ll never weep
how could it all be
we finally figured this shit out
and now you’ll see that you were all wrong
but you were all just mirrors running scared
just some ghosts wearing my skin
trying to disbelieve it
fuck you now try to disbelieve it

“He Walks By Night” – Listen to a Brand New John Carpenter Song NOW!

John Carpenter music

It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.

Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.

Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.

“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.

“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
