about

a synthesis of disposable pop culture remnants creating a powerful mantra of protection. A collection of one-liners interwoven into a narrative of defence.

composer/performer Scott Sanders embraces his unashamed synthwave/80s electronic passions with this latest release from the House of Andersen.

lyrics

Some people can’t believe in themselves
'Til someone else believes in them first
It’s only after we’ve lost everything
That we’re free to do anything
It’s not our abilities that show what we truly are
It is our choices

The greatest thing you’ll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return

Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered
You have no power over me

The truth is a matter of circumstances
It’s not all things to all people all the time
You cannot reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth
All these moments will be lost in time
Like tears in rain
As god is my witness I’ll never be hungry again

Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered
You have no power over me

And that’s the way the news goes
Life is like a box of chocolates
There’s no place like home
Ridicule is the burden of genius
Ogres are like onions
Fish are friends, not food
Show me the money
Go ahead, make my day

Greed, for lack of a better word
I ain’t no tailor but I know what suits me

Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered
You have no power over me
