Background:
The first posting of this can be found here. There, Janne and Ray thought the bass was out of tune or dissonant. Upon examination I think I had a problem with my Bm bass arpeggios so I tried to fix that in this version. It was also mentioned that a Stephen Hawking vocal might work. I couldn’t locate his exact vocal emulator so I used what I had readily available instead.

I’m not entirely crazy about the vocals, it kind of reminds me of Max Headroom without the stutter. Anybody remember Max? smile
Hopefully this is at least a little improved compared to the 1st go at this.

Poem:
Black hole, black hole, man can barely comprehend
The enormity of the power you hold within

First proposed by John Michell in 1784
This was the beginning and astronomers wanted more

A quandary, a distortion, of space and time
You are an unparalleled beast and freakish paradigm

At your center may lie a gravitational singularity
Where spacetime curvature and density become infinity

You consume asteroids, planets and even radiation
Anything that gets too close will face annihilation

The universe is indeed a hostile place for life to thrive
Full of violence and destruction; it’s hard to survive

So what is your purpose and what is your goal?
To eventually consume the universe as a whole?

Something tells me that can’t be your role
For even with you, God’s in control

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
