John Noir Smith - Mountain Smurph

Copied!

Once I was
A Blackbird
Singing of things so
Dark and sombre
It made Tim Burton
Look cheerful
I left that state to
Go West
And I found
I was so much more
Being compared to The Warrior by her manager
Really made me feel the weight
Hanging on my shoulders

I nearly gave up
Being in a prison of love
Trying to find something in the nothing
The phoenix I am rose
As a bohemian
Nomad
Of a vegetarian zen buddhist
Minimalist
Embracing life
Living
And stoicism

I released the Opus Pilates
Which was to be my
Opus Pilates
Meaning
I'd reach the top whеn I just started

I discovered DistroKid
Much to DistroKid's dismay
As I am a troublеsome kid for the Disco Mouse
A pandemic couldn't kill me
It only made me record and release so much more
And I am not done yet
The Mountain Smurph
Was but one of my personas
The Blackbird Noir
Another
But just like Ziggy
The future holds more to come

Biography

edit bio

Born in Drammen, Norway, with roots from all over Europe (as well as India). I started playing music – as well as writing my own songs – back in 2008. It started off with the harmonica, then the bass guitar (which led to a lot of experimental music), before turning to the guitar, synthesizers, ukulele, drums, and more later on.

Making music has become something I really enjoy, and I always hope that someone else will get something out of it as well. I hope one day that my music will go down in musical history, but I don’t really stress too much about it. If it doesn’t then what I made probably hit anyone else as it did to me, and that’s okay too. The most important thing was having fun while doing it, and actually getting some value out of it myself.

I realize that my belief in Buddhism tends to sneak into my lyrics here and there, and my lifestyle as a minimalist does tend to materialize in certain chord progressions and the likes. “Lunatic” is actually a great example of this: two chords (which is very minimal) and references to “dukkha”. “No Reason Why” is another, lyrically, as it contains references to “dukkha”, “dhamma” and being a monk.
I am also a big fan of humor, and this too manifests itself in my music (in songs like “One More Slice of Pizza” and “What If All the Witch Trials Were Right #2”).
I’ve tried a lot of genres, as I like different kinds of music myself. This is intentional, and I may breeze through them all one day.
