Long summer days of my youth
Spent outside in the dirt
Building castles out of boxes
Made up might to exert
And I never thought a thing about it
And the games I played then
Seemed so real inside my head
Fighting for our rights and I
Never thought about all the conflicts and the strife
Present in our daily lives
Playing in the sun with all my toy soldiers (toy soldiers)
I don’t really care if they all melt
Blowing up my plastic little toy soldiers (toy soldiers)
I don’t wanna share with anybody else
They’re all just playthings anyway
Melting plastic led to burning
All the grass around the lawn
Spread to cars and trees and buildings
Killed the world I built it on
And I never stopped to think about it
And the games that I played then
Became so real inside my head
Fighting for our very lives
I never realized the struggle to survive
Present in our daily lives
CHORUS

Ian Beabout mixed and mastered this fusion record featuring Dave Newhouse of the Muffins and Jerry King of Cloud Over Jupiter. It is a fun and kitschy journey with a 50s Sci-Fi and Horror aesthetic.

Man Out Of Time
by Manna/Mirage
supported by 6 fans who also own “Toy Soldiers / SIMR (Single)”
I feel like the COVID pandemic allowed/forced Dave to really think through and seriously polish his ideas. The songs here all feel so complete, sophisticated, and fully realized--moreso than the previous Manna / Mirage releases. While I've been loving these releases since 2015s Blue Dogs, this is the one I will be listening to the most ten years down the road. GREAT collaborations from all guests and great compositions/ideas from the playful brain of Dave Newhouse. Well done!

An Erstwisle Alphabestiary: Book One
by Nick Prol & the Proletarians
supported by 5 fans who also own “Toy Soldiers / SIMR (Single)”
Mind and heart expanding avant-prog that's creatively off the charts but ultra catchy as well. The musicianship is excellent but never overshadows the joy it sounds like everyone had while creating this awesome album. Can't wait for Part 2!
