– December 15,2023
This release is a brand new ‘Acoustic Space Synth track remixed and remastered as a nod to the forthcoming brand new 2024 ‘ Beautiful Ugly’ album release, awash with classical symphonic art-rock leanings embodying a chamber/baroque pop feel throughout. The remix is devoid of drums and bass: evident on the ‘Mysterium Tremendum’ original album version of the song.

Lyrics
The Crown Is Worn By The Imposter In Everyone
A Seeker Of Praise And Applause
And Bone Veiny Strands
Like River Maps On Withered Hands
Holding All Keys To The Doors
Skinny Ballerina Would You Want To Be Her Given The Chance
Can You Pirouette It Ain’t For Everybody Sure You Can Dance
Silence Abated If Not Now When
I Get Lost In The Noise And Amusements Of Men
Into Corners, We’re Painted
Doubt Loss And Fear Say We’re The Loudest Voices Heard In Here
Followed By Lust And Regret
And The Truth Has Not Made It To A Single 12-Step Meeting
Since Wisdom Was Replaced By Intellect
Skinny Ballerina Would You Want To Be Her Given The Chance
Can You Pirouette It Ain’t For Everybody Sure You Can Dance
Silence Abated If Not Now When
I Get Lost In The Noise And Amusements Of Men
Into Corners We’re Painted
I No Longer Say If I Only Say When
I Get Lost In The Noise And Amusements Of Men
Into Thralldom We’ve Fainted
In A Marriage Of Periwinkle Saffron And Malachite Too
Let The Noise And Amusements Of Men Play Out As They Do
We’re All Beleaguered And Tainted

The captain makes his return nearly 18 months after a life-changing road traffic accident where both he and his family were caught up in a police car chase resulting in being hit by the stolen vehicle.
During the challenges of such a stark rehabilitation, music was miraculously still being created, albeit in a very slow, labored, and somewhat sedate ‘late-night fashion’. Strong painkillers/opioids became ‘married’ to those rare and fleeting moments of energetic impulses that screamed out to be expressed – hence a reflective, healing, contemplative album emerged.
The 9-track album Beautiful Ugly will be released on the bespoke American label Melodic Revolution Records in Sept 2024. It was made with just 3 players, The Captain on Voice/Bouzouki/Guitar, Damian Clark on Keys/Synths, and Wendy Ross on Violin.
Being a writer who follows such persistent whispers, prods, and an almost otherworldly invitation with deep reverence to the process, The Captain felt compelled to bring this album into existence despite the circumstances that prevailed.
A crowdfunding campaign has inevitably begun considering all that has preceded it. All monies pay for production, recording, design, engineering, and mastering. promotion costs etc.

You can be an essential part of the crowdfunding journey and any donation, however big or small, is welcome. The single £3, price of a coffee is often as vital to the overall picture as those larger gifts.
About Captain Of The Lost Waves
The Captain is a troubadour, storyteller, and free-thinking renegade. His musical offerings are inspired by the great songwriters and philosophers of yesteryear. This is visceral music for the mind and body, full of dreamy verses, life-affirming choruses, and sheer audacity. Where melodic invention meets alternative folk, progressive, world, and ambient sounds.
He is not just the figurehead of his musical vessel, he’s ringmaster, bard, master of ceremonies, and sage. There’s far more to him and his absurdly engaging world than any of your ten–a–penny musical stars. Seen through showers of glitter, kaleidoscopic lens flares, and the rainbows of a million puddles. The Captain tells sonic stories to connect with everyone past, present, and future.
