    FORGETTING TOGETHER. What use is forgetting? Why do we all get together in rooms and consume compounds (ethanol, etc) that reduce our cognitive function, while bathing in loud sounds?

    Forgetting can be a good thing. Think of all the things you've tried to forget. Sonny Veneer has deleted those items for you.

    In this album, you'll find songs about love dynamics, mountain bike champs, assisted suicide as a Puerto Rican vacation, U.S. history, the foibles of colonialism, the Resistance, rebirth, sensory tricks, HR policies, sex and energy.

    Thrill to the glossy varnish covering the beautiful packaging design by none other than Sonny Veneer himself. Bonus! Comes with a CD filled with all-original music!

Forgetting Together © 2017 John Llewellyn, Wafting in Space Music All rights reserved PERFORMED BY SONNY VENEER This is the place for us (forgetting together…) Draw your new face for us (forgetting together…) I’m so glad I found you here (forgetting together…) Glad that you found me here (forgetting together…) You didn’t ask me where I was going tonight Weaving like a single (forgetting together…) Closer to the stage (forget WE’RE together…) Time to run, make it now It’s not gonna show anyhow.. Tonight Neurotoxins in our throats It’s a little to swallow A mild Neurotoxin that’ll do the trick Distilled for your pleasure. Neurotoxins in our throats It’s a little to swallow A mild Neurotoxin that’ll do the trick Forgetting together.

Toys in the Trash © 2017 John Llewellyn, Wafting in Space Music All rights reserved PERFORMED BY SONNY VENEER Toys in the trash It’s just a simple fact He never would have told you but He's never coming back Toys in the trash It’s just a simple fact She never would have told you but She's never coming back used to have a magic wand One day it was nowhere- gone Somebody tossed it in the trash. My magic wand, reduced to ash How would he feel? How would I feel? How would she feel? How would she feel? How would she feel? Toys in the trash It's like a heart attack She never would have told you but She's never coming back It can be fun to throw stuff away. Recycle your dread with a satisfying thud. Kaillou’s electronic voice from inside the trashcan. Mis Couleurs Prefereés sont Rouge, Jaune , et Bleu Mis Couleurs Prefereés sont Rouge, Jaune , et Bleu Rouge Jaune et Vert Rouge Blanc et Bleu I got on your case one time. I got on your case 2000 times. The things are pushing us apart it's the things that are pushing us apart. How would he feel? How would I feel? How would she feel?

CROATOAN © 2017 John Llewellyn, Wafting in Space Music All rights reserved PERFORMED BY SONNY VENEER What became of you, Virginia? What became of our child? When I set off for Virginia It was empty When I made out for foreign shores To make a million fortunes When I came back into a war The trauma burned me down Croatoan What became of you, Fallujah? What became of my town? When I walked back to Fallujah It was empty as a crown. When they dropped in from foreign shores A diesel dazzle letdown And the Veterans of Foreign Wars The trauma burned me down Croatoan His brother is buried and his sister is buried in the same graveyard It's a lost away never go away if it’s shown any sign of eating him alive if it’s shown any sign of eating him alive if it’s shown any sign of eating him alive if it’s shown any sign of eating him alive maroon all it is dangerous getting dangerous

Cut away that gray tape Stick a brand new tape inside your head When you listen back It shines Like a new piece of trash Worn down by life And its lurching demands Yeah/ Do you find that hard to do? Yeah /Do you find that to prove?

Too Worn Out to Get ( ) Up © 2017 John Llewellyn, Wafting in Space Music All rights reserved PERFORMED BY SONNY VENEER Too worn out to get fucked up. It’s a lot of work, doing all the work. I see rectangles, I stretch rectangles. Disarray and distortion, disarray and Sebastian Put on the headphones and go into the computer, make everything perfect. I want to go into the sound, I want to go into version 10, where I can make everything perfect where I can make everything perfect. I want to go where everything is perfect I can stretch time I'm stretching time the simple wave of a pick. Making more time I want to make everything perfect. Crumpled checks on the floor, cold wind coming in the cracks around the door. Recycling bin is full everything I hear his bull. I want to make everything perfect. Too worn out to get fucked up. It’s a lot of work, doing all the work. I left my ego in the 20th century. I want to make everything perfect. Perfect. Plugging into USB, I see the end of democracy. Feedling into A+E I see the rise of kleptocracy. Won't you plug in with me? Won't you plug in with me?
