    Willow's first full contribution to Albenesh, a song she wrote MANY years ago, which we finally put to good use.

    Story Behind the Song
    Willow claims this song is probably the most truthful expression of her inner self, and how she viewed the world as a teenager, and subsequently a young adult. Her slanted cynicism shows, offset by her soulful vocals, which some have told us remind them of a young Pat Benatar. In order to flesh this song out, I pretty much took Willow's melody line, which she uses in the vocals, and doubled it on my bassline. The two former members Roland, and Nick filled in the blanks on both congas and guitar, respectively. As an aside, this song first came to life as a Dionysos tune, back when Willow was our lead vocalist. When she left the band, she took it back. The least I could do to honor her in our new band was to make this the first Albenesh song ever recorded. You can hear it as track one of "PREHISTORY".

    Lyrics
    My World-
    by Beverly A. Bolton (of Albenesh)
    created 5-1-92
    copyright 2001 Albenesh Music

    I was born in a world full of toxins and sinners
    People on drugs, only losers, no winners
    Defecit of trillions, and taxes as high
    Rigged ballot boxes and politicians who lie!
    Oh, what's wrong with the world?
    How'd we get so low?
    What's wrong with the world?
    Sinking down deeper, this evolution's not slow... no, no, not slow.

    Prejudices are common in this melting pot
    When the immigrants came here they thought this was the spot...
    ...But they were wrong.
    ...Yeah they were wrong.
    These streets aren't paved with gold
    No, this nation of ours, no national pride
    A government that sends you on a roller coaster ride!
    (Chorus)

    The news is still free and gossip does fly
    No wonder the youth can't wait to die
    The drugs and the violence run rampant around
    No one cares or the lost would be found!
    (Chorus)
    (Lead- guitar)

    The days of depression and misery go on
    And any hope for the future is gone
    What happened to our hopes, dreams and cares
    Their necks have been broken being pushed down the stairs.
    (Chorus)

    For a wonderful life, we'll have to pretend
    So it is written right here...
    ...It's the end.
