Clip from my video for my song "The Invisible Hand." The song is about those invisible forces that change the course of peoples lives. The unexplainable fate that whispers in the background and calls people to find their greatness. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwVl0YcFrZY

"Gimmie a hit of bus exhaust cause I'm feeling lonley and I'm feeling lost" A polluted world , populated by dirty corrupted people. This is the dark disturbing picture painted by Abraham Cloud for the song Bus Exhaust. The fortune-teller told me a lie, she said I'd have to live 'til the day I die. It's been five long years in this living hell, there's a hive of bees sleeping right next to my head. GIMME-A-HIT OF BUS EXHAUST 'cause I'm feeling lonely and I'm feeling lost. I had a wife and a reason to be stable, had the best things in life laid right on my table. Then a strange disease sent me cryin' to the doctor who took me to the cleaners at ninety bucks an aspirin. GIMME-A-HIT OF BUS EXHAUST 'cause I'm feeling lonely and I'm feeling lost. Make it a side of PESTICIDE 'cause I feel like a cockroach that got caught in the light. The police, prostitutes and dealers all avoid me, this government official stamped a giant void right on me. Passing like a ghost through the land of fake emotion, got a fortune here in wisdom and some land under the ocean, GIMME-A-HIT OF BUS EXHAUST 'cause I'm feeling lonely and I'm feeling lost make it a side of PESTICIDE 'cause I ain't got nobody standin' here by my side. oh that feeling, feels like comin' home, back home....GIMME-A-HIT ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKohcuE2ux4

Finally , "What Are People ?" comes to YouTube. The world is giddy in celebration. This madly beautiful Metal Ballad asks questions to deep and obvious to have been properly addressed before. It's Anna Faris staring stoned and open-mouthed off into the distance, "what ARE people ? " It is John Lennon on 5 hits of acid, "climbed up the hill to look out on the city lights, millions of strangers on a cold cold night . each set of eyes seeing things a little differently, then in the end it all comes down to property,,,,, what are people anyway. " Incredible line-up for this recording, The famous " LA johnny g" on bass. No Doubt related Larry Taub on Drums , Master Guitarist who is currently Missing , John Garwood on Guitar and Bob Stone from Frank Zappa twisting the knobs, It is an anthem. It is insane and imbecilic, It is Brilliant , It is Abraham Cloud. Wiped up the blood from the mirror. Oh it was nothing serious, I just cut myself shaving. Thought about life as I lit up a cigarette, and the gallon of blood that keeps me alive. What are people, anyway? Climbed up the hill to look out on the city lights, millions of strangers on a cold, cold night. Each set of eyes seein' things a little differently, then in the end it all comes down to property. What are people, anyway? People can be good fun. People will hang around, if you let 'em ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRSNy4P2bfk

Christmas is such a warm , friendly , loving time for most, its really no surprise that Abraham Cloud would be looking at its sinister side. That Big Red Jolly guy named Santa seems to carry some deeper and devious motives in this song. Mr Cloud starts off by announcing, "I've got every disease known to man waiting patiently inside me, to surprise me when I least expect it." Which is a pretty startling and freeing realization in and of itself. But nothing compared to the iconic visitor who shows up live and in person, "Love everyone, Santa Claus said, As he perched naked on my bed. Love everyone and you'll be free, but first you gotta love me." That Jolly Old pagan not only climbed in through the fireplace but is now, instead of leaving gifts, bartering for love or sex or something. Not completely sure of the meaning here but it seems to run deep. Abe sings , "I ain't go no one to love. " and then Santa appears as a vision of love. Santa Claus , is typically every child's perfect picture of God. All knowing , all giving , all justice and all love. So how does this pure light of love turn into a conniving , commercialized loan shark , making a deal instead of giving. Is it the corruption of spirit, the loss of soul or perhaps Cloud watches too much news. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGBrXeVsQqc
