The old Similou was more cautious and less punk. But then we started having lunch at the local pub where we sometimes went for a pint. Working as a bartender at this place was a guy that we now call “The Mastermind”. With a mix of cunning questions and sly flattery, he fooled us both indirectly into starting up the new improved Similou, now with a The! “The Mastermind” inspired us enormously, mostly because his way of thinking is so different from anybody else’s. Speaking to him makes us happy, because it makes us understand that there is still so much to learn, Dizzy explains.
Jesse continues: - To start singing was to start exploring unknown territory, and it was the curiosity of what we could achieve if we did which made it so very exiting to make music again. All of a sudden being in the studio making music was just as titillating as ordering a pint from “The Mastermind” at the pub.
The two perfectionists behind The Similou are totally different characters. It is probably this strange fusion that makes them sound so diverse. Everything from the jazzy, cocktail-like title track “So Hot Right Now” to the Ghostbuster-influenced club boogie “Ladykillers” and Jesse’s cocky rap in ”Play With Us” with Dizzy’s Hall & Oates-influenced chorus on top. With one ear on Earth Wind & Fire’s high-pitch vocals and the other on Van Halen’s magical reverb-filled bass drum, The Similou create a strange mix of beatronica, disco-pop, synth-punk and queer-metal – all within Jesse and Dizzy’s unconditional and boundless love of music.
All This Love
The Similou Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In your tank-top, rainbow styling
Last night, girl, like a dream
Never felt so good, sleepy smiling
All this love saved up for nothing
I never felt so blue
And all this love, rainbow styling
And this will do me no good
And all this love, rainbow styling
Everyday that summer, by your side
And it all just seemed everlasting
But then you told me you would move away
And you looked so cute there, you were crying
All this love saved up for nothing
I never felt so blue
And all this love, rainbow styling
All this love saved up for nothing
And this will do me no good
And all this love, rainbow styling
The Similou's song "All This Love" is a nostalgic, bittersweet tribute to a past summer romance that never quite blossomed into anything more than a fleeting memory. The lyrics describe the setting of the song in a city rooftop on a summer night, highlighted by the colorful attire of the singer's love interest. The singer reflects on the blissful moments of their time together, recounting how it all seemed so everlasting until the girl delivered the news that she was moving away. The singer is flooded with feelings of sadness and heartbreak, lamenting how all the love that was amassed doesn't offer any solace for their current emotional state.
The repetition of the phrase "All this love saved up for nothing" highlights the futility of holding onto the love that was shared, now that it serves no purpose. The chorus also mentions the "rainbow styling" of the singer's love interest. This could either refer to the girl's multi-colored clothing or to the various aspects that made the relationship interesting and exciting. The singer desperately clings to the memory of the summer love, but ultimately realizes that it does not hold any significance in the present.

LoveLight
By candle light or fires burn,
I write a poem of loves return.
For it was sent away one day,
Banished from my tortured soul.
For because of evil masquerades,
And doings of unjust,
It's fight was but a pitiful play
Against a boy who to light said "Nah".
The light of love was told to go,
But fight to stay it did.
Though as the boy became a man,
Whether physical or of the soul.
He knew the light was better than,
The horrors he should know.
So again the battle waged inside.
Tearing, Twisting, Reaping,
"NO"
"Ahhh, pain my lad, does it hurt you, hey.?
Does it twist your soul
and grow each day
as if it has no end,
and pain is all you'll know.
Well give up you little bastard!
You weak and stupid fool!
Live a life of endless fun.
Sex, drugs and rock & roll.
For the other is,
A load of rubbish and remorse.
Don't worry bout your soul my lad!,
I'll always open up these doors"
So back to a life of carelessness,
Our little boy did go.
Having fun and frolicking with things,
That soon shall melt like snow.
For the fires burn to brightly,
And always engulf their own.
Yet there must be more,
More love, more life.
But to get there you must go,
through a test of strength and fortitude.
Before you get a show!
Pain, Pain, engulf my very soul.
Rip my world apart,
Tear my life to pieces,
It's the only way to start.
But soon the light of love descends,
Through a kaleidoscope of pains.
Keep going boy, become a man.
And reap those worthy gains.
Ah ha, the pains begin to ease,
Teaching as they go.
Your life of love begins again.
So make the most of it and grow.
Don't fall back, into that trap.
Of darkness, death, deceit.
For the path that you are on is, right
Below your feet.
Keep going, even if at times it's hard.
And pain comes and goes.
Keep growing, learning, loving,
And when the time is right to go.
You'll be clothed in light,
Raised in Love.
Then you can Teach Rule and Know,
That all of it is because,
you had to feel, think and grow !
In The Round
The circle makes the music;
In a cosmic carousel.
And whe're ridin' almost ruffshot;
Through the nearest thing to hell.
Dodgin' cars and scary go rounds,
As I saunter through the streets.
Past that shooting range near main,
On through assorted tricks or treats.
There's that Wire Walk of Wonder,
Where you could tumble either way.
And those other shoot up centres,
Where you might not last the day.
I've seen the ferris wheel falter,
And had the fairy floss decay.
Yet the carnival continues,
For the circle gets it's way.
Forever going forward;
Never stopping, when I say.
"I'd like to hop off here please,
As I have no more to pay".
Fools...
Fools, why should we think ?
With just a thought we deeper sink.
Or further fly our withered wings,
To crash once more, beneath our kings.
So cease sad thoughts and fire flights.
From which more pain, to tease us nights.
Then fear's here slinking in
Telling me to dreams a sin.
But soon, like salt and pepper's shared,
There's milk and honey in my head.
To soothe a soul that wants to fly,
Through a world with less need to cry.
So all you onward dreamers dare,
To inch towards the open air.
It's in the blood
"It's in my blood", I hear you say.
Well wonder why it's made that way.
Mix of mum and dad, and those before,
Further back we'll surely find a core.
For the word's the order of the day,
Coded chaos, you'll hear me say.
For it's always been and will be again.
To give purpose back and lack of pain.
For those scientist's saw the telling signs,
Of intelligence, beyond our minds.
So look around for it's everywhere,
The code of life shows only care.
But we choose to grow against the grain,
And let flesh's fight control our brain.
So hey, It's in our blood for sure,
We just gotta learn to use it more..
insha'Allah DEO Volente Amen

Revision 2020-21 Prayer
God Bless you and yours all this Christmas and New Year.
May 2021 be a year utilising the 2020 vision of the last, looking backward with understanding and light, forward with hope and wisdom. None of us are perfect, none have made no mistakes, none have not hurt or been hurt. All we can do is acknowledge our sins, errors, wrongs, be honest with ourselves and others and foremost with the honesty and want of forgiveness we approach Him alone who is Judge and Most High, and likewise those in our lives or pasts, present and futures with honesty and want of forgiveness and understanding.
May Our Father, guard, guide and protect us from all evil, iniquity and wickedness thereof. May he renew, revive and replenish our spirits, souls and hearts, bodies, minds and thoughts daily. May the Holy Spirit and Christ Jesus be with us all always in as much as The Father is always in us, with us and carrying us. Talk to Our Father as if he was your best friend, your greatest love, your teacher and your joker. He is so loving, kind, happy, and so very funny and I know like me you love to laugh and be happy. Lighthearted and uplifted which makes the daily grind less drudgery.
The Word of God states that the only sins that are unforgivable are sins against the The Holy Spirit, so all others are forgiven if contrite of spirit, repentant and truly wanting to be one of His and Blessed, led, sharing in the awesome future and protection and power He has in store for us all.
Seek him as your Father, Your God, Your Friend, and Comedian, and you will never be let go again.
Ask and you will receive, knock and the door will be opened.
He will close some doors and parts of your life that no one can open again, and open some doors and futures that no one can close. Lead you among straight and narrow paths that always get you somewhere, or somewhere better, instead of the winding, often lost or lonely making, goose chasing waywards of this world.
He will reveal and remove some people, pressures and pains, some baggage, hurts or drains in ways that make walking with him easy, assured and effortless. People will think your selfish, aloof, alone, or so independent, but in reality your a child of Pure Light and Love, apart of a Heaven, a Kingdom a Future and a Faith that is greater than anything else and will outlast all others.
Give yourself over to the glorified, light bodied, heavenly homed, eternally living, pain and weakness freed future with Him, Our Father, a friend, a funny lighthearted Larakin of light and love that was first among us, has attained The Highest place, has stretched out forever with more wonder, creation, light, life, love and loopholes than any of us could ever wonder or ever think. Start finding yourself within this forever, utilising and appreciating all over your life, past, lessons and struggles, to turn everything to good, getting rid of this meat suit of frailty and hard function to be truly free in forever, glorified into the realms of light and powers, endless hours and endless lives where we can get right what we only hoped we could here, and begin to turn all hurts to hopes and all pains to purpose.
Our Father, grab us all now before we are truly lost in the myriad of maybes and machined mayhems, the million or so futures a hundred nations or notions have in store.
God Bless us all this Christmas and New Year, may the future be His and all our futures ours.
In Nomine Patris, et Filli, et Spiritus Sancti Amen

Providence is Providence people.
And Love is Love, who are you to deny either?
I wrote years ago;
Once Upon A Crime...
Loving you, is bringing Me, before The Throne, On High...
Love is He, and in Between, The God of You and I.
Who are you to deny Him?
You all did...
Sadly.
Brian Taylor
It's a shame these guys never blew up. I still play their album all the time.
Pablo T-R
Don't worry, the mainstream radio Top 40s Chart executives will steal their sound by finding generic musicians + mainstream vocalist like Taylor Swift or whoever.
