The Corner Society

As an actor, Dominic Serendip has been on several off-Broadway productions. However, his main squeeze has always been music. His upcoming Hip-Hop album is entitled Live Lucid.

When interviewed by us, he described it a lifestyle, rather than an album. In making the record, he wanted to relate to his listener by getting past his own faults. He believes in inspiring his fans to reject limitations set by others and control their own faiths.

The Corner Society has snagged his talents (and that of his recent collaborator, Alcohol&Ecstasy) for our first collaborative effort, Gorgeous.

You can download Serendip’s tunes on his Bandcamp.

The branches of my heart sway against the wind
as we look towards the sky.
The sunset of our love has come
and leaves have fallen to the ground.
Until the dawn arrives we can only hold each other
and wait for the rain,
trailing our tears into a river
that flows towards a lonely ocean.
Under the dark night sky we pray
for the morning to come to our eyes.
Without the light our love cannot
bloom its lovely soft blossoms.

My digits glide across the keys, feeling out the words
soon to be created out of lyrical musings;
they sum up much of what makes me –
a boy, a son, a friend, and sometimes child.

Creating stories of my better world: love-struck teens,
all the girls who the world plucked in and out of my life,
bright stories, and others of strife stricken lands, stricken from the record,
renamed and rebranded to be retold to new readers.

I am nothing but framework, a stepping stone
glad to be stepped on. Tending to a garden of words,
planting seeds of inspiration and plucking weeds of cliché interactions,
doing the work no one wants to do, nothing but a servant to the masses,
to generations yet to come,
to my friends, and to you –
I serve myself up on a platter.
