About

A pulsar is the spinning core of a star that died long ago, flashing a pulse with every turn, steady as a clock. I wanted to make a track where that ancient rhythm sets the tempo, so I imagined patching it straight into my modular rig. Vintage synths, slow bass, rain on the window, and a dead star counting me in. 🪐

Lyrics

Intro

Verse 1

Dome rolled open, dishes all aligned,

Tuned to a dead star ticking faint and fine

Every pulse it sent left a thousand years ago,

Now it's running in my modular, mellow and low

Hook

Patch me to the pulsar,

(Patch me to the pulsar)

Let the old star count me in

Patch me to the pulsar,

One bright pulse for every spin

Verse 2

Tape reels turning on the Revox shelf,

Patch cords tangled like I knitted them myself

Oscilloscope wave in a lazy green line,

Old Moog breathing to a pulsar's time

Hook

Patch me to the pulsar,

(Patch me to the pulsar)

Let the old star count me in

Patch me to the pulsar,

One bright pulse for every spin

Modular Synth Solo

Verse 3

Star burned out before the dinosaurs were here,

Now the core it left behind is ticking in my ear

Lean on the console while the filters open wide,

Me and something ancient counting side by side

Breakdown

Spoken

"Created by DarkPrincess - Royalty of the Night."

Instrumental

Hook

Unplug me from the planet,

(Unplug me from the planet)

Let the dead star take the lead

Unplug me from the planet,

That's the only clock I need
