Alibi
Alibi
Something's rotten, things got [complete] outta hand
Too far gone, someone's gonna understand
She controls my mind, makes me do things I don't want to
She's the dangerous kind, there was nothing I could do
Oh-oh, the damage is done
Chorus:
Now that there is nowhere to run, need an alibi
Now that there is nowhere to run, need an alibi
She's the one to blame, she's got my soul
I just can't seem to leave her alone
Far too late, I found out what you were up to
As if hypnotized, I played criminal to please you
And totally paralyzed, now there's nothing I can do
I don't wanna live like this, but now it seems there ain't no way back
Oh-oh, I'm caught in a trap
(chorus)
She knows just what to do to turn me on, she makes me do whatever she wants
(Solo)
(chorus)
She knows just what to do to turn me on, she makes me do whatever she wants
(chorus repeats out)

This is the good shit right here. The real deal kids. I’ll be passing on traditions, experiences, knowledge of history, a universal catalogue of collections and compilations upon compilations of this day and age of Techno - The Legends that are Armin Van Buuren, and Tiesto.:.
Kids these days new wave whatever you want to call it, just doesn’t compare, let alone be compared to, the level of greatness that was, is, and always will be the A State of Trance,
Respectfully, Tiesto I’m his own right is a legend, his legacy will live in Electeonica for generations to come, but I prefer Van Buuren. From the start yes been a messenger from the heavens... Heed not a warning , no sir, but Let it be known through all of time past, present, and future that these were the glory sure day’s of electronica, these artists our ForeFathers, from an age of Techno, club and house, drum and bass, trance, progressive mixes and records.. The pinnacle of a movement, legends and tales foretold for generations through time to come. birthing from within s planetary milestone of the millennium. This century of ours. A musical industrial revolution of its own kind, A milestone, physical and spiritual gathering of minds worldwide, a coming together of peoples in love. Words cannot simply express it significance or ability, mysteriously an eternal revolution from
Great minds of imagination and creativity.
A Congress of gods, titans and spirits from above our realm, a gift from their hands, ergo, from within the far reaches of the cosmos, majestically sewn into our very roots. Within our cultures and peoples from the beginning of time. Music is a very big part of life,
Call it what we will you cannot deny it.
As my Personal, civil responsibility to this universe, I will show my children, especially this type and genre in its own right and way, respectfully. Bringing to them, in gold time, my knowledges, and first hand experiece throughout. To share from within myself, attempt to open their eyes and their minds, to show them of course the journey...Instilling a strong yearning for them to explore it entirely on its own In their own ways, to somewhat let them naturally discover music, and the divine arts. Humbly showing respect, and heart felt gratitude to all who share music with them as well, and to cherish it as an amazing gift; Openly. Play it out loud in the open, everywhere for everyone! Or by their own way, whatever thy will may be. To give in to their hearts, and embrace the essence of all music, to understand significance, and its power in our lives. To somehow teach and show them to let the music guide and move you into a whole new world and have the experience of a life time just from a 90 minute mixtape from Long ago.
In all I would hope they share their experiences with their families of their own one day, and with their friends and people in their lives and to spread the word of The power of music. As well as, all that is the epic showing of such a time to be alive, the movement that once was and still is in my opinion the greatest genre to move your body, channel your spiritual being, to dance and let go. To connect, and let it mold your being, what you are. To dig deep within and connect yourself to it to a spectral plain, through your consciousness, to channel to your higher power and soul and know of the shear greatnesses, significance, and power of it entirely. Knowing you have the tools to go wherever and anywhere their minds and creativeness may take them. The countless, endless possibilities of your own creativity and imagination to create your own music and find what truly touches your soul or moves your own very being.
