Forcefield 03:05
Everyone sleeps with a shadow Twisting in scenes their shades are growing like flowers at such high speeds that don't exist in this 3D and the melting plots of time are crying to tell us the news about all truths that are blended into lies before our eyes and spread through the air like seeds infecting us all if there was ever a time for a forcefield it's now Waves of human deception pulses add hoc to turn the untrained eye away from love LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE
2.
Dream like 03:20
The new language comes from the sun this heart expanded sees all sides and surprise We are born into veils and light patterns bathe in colors turning and pulsing at a rate we accept and decide is complete New signals press us to open optical balance and perception expands Everything we thought we knew will become dream like dream like Everything we thought we knew will become dream like dream like in this new found awareness expanded sees all sides and surprise Everything we thought we knew will become dream like dream like Everything we thought we knew will become dream like dream like

If there was ever a need to know What the wind is saying when it bends your ear Make like a tree and vine out Like a solution to the ripe crisp cold Arms out rabbit soft a tenth of the way to EVERY LOST ART and write it down When the words fill time with a teaming light A tenth of the way write it down writing down What if we don't find the words are enough to bend your ear Dark and lonely monsters sneaking in to your dreams
4.
Comfort Zone 02:29
balance the twisted into the wind and let the parts equal out and bathe in the light to refine let the parts equal out Your comfort zone
5.
Mixed signals we hunt in lines in hopes to find what we need before we Bend and break and bend and break and bend and break and bend penalties unguarded hidden in the cool earth mysteries deliveries Bend and break and bend and break and bend and break and bend A page from the sleep: Spinning wheel the light bulbs pop Miracles and dandelions my how you've changed Bend and break and bend and break and bend and break and bend Give me the trials I want your reaching hand in and out of the pocket the waves hit the sand Bend and break and bend and break and bend and break and bend A Page from the sleep

I need to ask Alex for the poem again.. it was years ago! such a great poem!

about

A new adventure into demo land, basement tracks in the home studio.
EVERYTHING is Robb the songwriter except for the words on THE CODES from NEO GLIMMER who you really need to look up on YOUTUBE to understand, also the awesome lead guitar on track 1 FORCEFIELD are by the amazing "Tim DiJulio". The very last song is an amazing poem penned by my hero Alex Green, i turned a bunch of his poems into songs! It was released on a demo many years ago but needs to be shared again now because it keeps showing up in Darla's dreams!! :)

Everything else is done by myself Robb Benson.

Expressing myself in the basement is kinda my fave art.
Thank you so much for taking a listen to my tunes!

-Robb the songwriter

PS- I can write your poems into song... for details or check www.poemtosong.com

about

Shelk Seattle, Washington

Hi I am Robb Benson and I started SHELK as a potential future band back in 2013. Released a full album that year on CD then many digital only basement releases have followed. Eventually became Stereo Embers but that is more of a rock and roll outfit and SHELK is now the solo indie side project (with friends at times) These basement demos are the seeds I release each year. Thanks for listening! ... more
