about
A NEW LIVE ROCK SOUND
Composed and produced by Dustin Beyette, production started in the early winter of 2006 of "Change" a Beyette album which features the single, "Million-Faced Man" as well as guest performers, former Metal-Blade records band "RetroGrave" guitarist and good friend, Red Beard (Mike Schermuly) performing electric guitar on "Humble" and Boston-born Vocalist/Hip-Hop producer G Dubbs singing and rapping on "Still Afraid to Ask" and "Nothing I Do" respectively. Also featured on "Still Afraid to Ask" is acoustic guitar performed by James Lowry.
CONTINUING A BRAND OF DEEP PERSONAL SONGS
The title is not a political reference regarding the previous election. Three years in the making, "Change" is the first Beyette record that involves vocals on virtually every track as well as mostly live instrumentation. The personal themes are based on assessments of society, both the general public as well as closer relationships. Beyette struggles to understand human nature as it seemingly destroys the happy life around him, and constantly strives for some sort of peace and resolve through his songs using a voice of diligence and humility.
INSTRUMENTALS
There are two instrumentals, the title track "Change" is a fast swinging rock track based on a more electronic version that inspired the album's name. The other, "Decide" is a fast paced evolving piano song "Someone told me "Decide" sounded like 'peanuts from the dark side' haha I wrote it on a whim on the white upright piano at the Barron Center in Westbrook, Maine and rushed to program it into my laptop in the car when my wife and I were visiting her grandmother."
A FULLY PRODUCED EXPERIMENTAL ROCK RECORD
The unique, complex and original sound of the album has been described enjoyable by fans of Nine Inch Nails, Linkin Park, Beck and Black Sabbath. With all the live electric and acoustic guitars, synthesizers, live electric bass, electronic beats, rock drums, piano and sound effects the record is somewhat of a genre-bender. "Change" features a very small percentage of computer programming due to the presence of mostly live instrumentation. The songs go from heavily distorted rock influence, from hard ("Guided without Direction", "The Bad Things", "Result") to soft ("Still Afraid to Ask"), tastefully from loud to calm using exotic scales ("It's Still There") and uncommon time signatures ("I Can't Be Happy").
RELATED DISCS
The first and only single released to promote this album was "Million-Faced Man", released online seventeen weeks before the physical "Change" was publicly available (the physical CD of "Million-Faced Man" released just over two months preceding "Change"). The disc included 4 bonus remixes not available online.

back when i was young in school they
did not let me ask them questions
i would not be seen as cool
if i followed with all the lessons
(no matter what you say, no matter what you do)
how could things ever set in
if i was taught to not ask questions
days i don't know who i am
because i no longer ask questions
(no matter what you say, oooh ooooh)
(no matter what you say, no matter what you do)
(no matter what you say, oooh ooooh)
and the worst part is, these days:
i know just the things i know
only the things that i say
because i'm still afraid to ask
about the things i do not know
(no matter what you say, no matter what you do)
failing to inquire when you want to know
makes things so hard when it's time to grow
talk is weak without knowledge, and the more you ask
the less hassle you'll have later to keep on track
you will many lose friends when you assume how they feel
rather than asking them for what was actually real
and the heavy burden that's obtained
is that the lack of courage remains
i know just the things i know
only the things that i know
because i'm still afraid to ask
about the things i do not know
how could things ever set in if i didn't ask questions?
these days i don't know who i am because i don't ask questions
i know just the few things that i know
because i'm still afraid to ask - Track Name: Million-Faced Man

I'm a complex person I'm a million-Faced Man
I'm a complex being that I don't understand
we are changing people, changing what we can
we are changing people, changing what we can
I don't try to say much, but show you instead
I just try to listen, see what's in your head
I've got a million emotions, just like we all do
I'm a complex person, I'm a million-faced man
I'm a million-faced man
I'm a million-faced man
I don't try to say much, but show you instead
I just try to listen, see what's in your head
I've got a million emotions, just like we all do
I'm a complex person, I'm a million-faced man
I'm a million-faced man - Track Name: The Bad Things

the bad things keep messing with my mind
it makes it so hard to stay kind
i'm giving up on karma, i'm giving up on karma
because if everything happens for a reason
if everything happens for a reason
and with all these bad things i must be doing something wrong
and it doesn't help that i strive to take
responsibility when others do not
it's at a pace that i cannot trace, no
i can't keep up it keeps falling down
i can't give up, i gotta keep my chin up
i gotta find a new way that wont give me away so fast
don't pay me with smiles, after all these miles
i've driven so far, i need a new car
all the lying makes me feel like crying
but i can't become a martyr, i gotta be smarter,
i gotta find what i'm doing wrong
you say it's nothing
that there's nothing to worry about
as things fall down around me
when i wont worry, i fall behind
i let my guard down
i let my guard down
i let my guard down
i expect nothing from you
i expect nothing from you
i expect nothing from you
i expect nothing from you ( you no longer have any expectation)
i expect nothing from you ( you no longer have any expectation)
i expect nothing from you ( you no longer have any expectation)
i expect nothing from you ( you no longer have any expectation) - Track Name: Nothing I Do (ft. G Dubbs)

(Beyette:)
I can't act tough enough I'll push you - I'll push you away
I can't act weak enough, you wont want to play
I can't act sad enough, you'll want me to cheer up
I can't be happy enough, you'll want me to calm down
(Beyette:)
Nothing I do will ever be enough for any of you
I can't do enough, never anything I do is as much as you'd like from me
(G Dubbs:)
If anything was to happen, I wouldn't stop my rappin'
I'd probably go to the crib, get the toast start the clappin'
I'd be laughing after I do it, most n***az know I'd be stackin after I move it
real paper I pursue it nothing to it, nothing but the do it on my side when i ride you know it be heat music, you never know my style, never know my steez
I'll take you to a place you can roll these trees
f***s with me I'll f***s with you I'm only tryin to do what real hustlaz do
if you don't understand the plan baby you know I'm speaking the truth
you could follow me I'll show you how to
(Beyette:)
I can't act sane enough for people to stay around
I can't act crazy enough for you to notice my sound
I can't act stupid enough for you to help me learn
I can't act wise enough for you to respect what I've earned
(Beyette:)
Nothing I do will ever be enough for any of you
I can't do enough, never anything I do is as much as you'd like from me - Track Name: It's Still There

i wish i knew how to make people work
don't know what i should do when i'm hurt
can't be too strong but lord i can't stay closed
open my mouth and things i say are opposed
don't know what to do, don't know who to ask
tried by myself but nothing good seems to last
tried your way and i tried mine
seems the more i think about it, the less i find
but it's still there, but it's still there to hurt
i want to talk to you, and not hold back
i want the truth to be fine and not have trust lack
i want to be honest, but why have the fight?
i will speak the truth but that wont be alright
wonder how you feel, give me nothing to consume
no one will talk so i have to assume
if i have a problem, you'll have one worse
i had it in drive, you kicked it in reverse
but it's still there, but it's still there to hurt
but it's still there, but it's still there to hurt
why wont it go away? the feelings that i feel
why wont it go away? this emptiness inside
why wont it go away? the feelings that i feel
why wont it go away? this emptiness inside
why wont it go away? the feelings that i feel
why wont it go away? this emptiness inside
why wont it go away? the feelings that i feel
why wont it go away? this emptiness inside - Track Name: Decide

- Track Name: Humble (ft. Red Beard)

humble to you, humble to everybody else
why can't you just be humble to me?
i don't know what to do anymore, i don't know what i can say
I do not want to be used anymore, i want to go back and play
but all the friends that drag behind me seem to constantly betray
i miss the good times, but the bad times: would you fix them another way?
what is it that forces folks to always let me down?
why is okay for them to hold me till i drown?
i don't want to hurt them back, i just don't want lies anymore
why can't anybody say they are sorry
for anything they've done to me?
i feel so bad with no one,
but i need this from you
(Guitar Solo)
Humble to you, humble to everybody else
why can't you just be humble to me?
humble to you, humble to everybody else
why can't you just be humble to me?
(Guitar Solo)
Why can'y anybody say they are sorry
for anything they've done to me?
I feel so bad with no one,
but i need this from you
(Guitar Solo) - Track Name: I Can't Be Happy
-
this isn't - this isn't irrational
the problem - the problem isn't me at all
and i try - i try to remind myself to stay strong
i wasn't expecting you to be the problem
blamed everything else, stuck up for you
i missed you, i wanted you to stay with me
but i can't have that anymore, i can't be happy
she's awesome
she's wonderful for me (you think she took me away)
not that you
seem to care much anyway
i missed you, i wanted you to stay with me
but i can't have that anymore, i can't be happy
i can't be happy - Track Name: The Open Door

Why do i still not know how far i should let you go?
why do i still not know how far i should let you go?
why do i leave the door open
so much that i have to slam it shut?
why does each time a wall comes down
i get burned i get all cut?
no one likes a person who does not care
but i regret every single thing that i share
how do i do not know
how far i should let you go?
who to trust? who to trust?
Why do I still not know how far i should let you go?
Why do I still not know how far i should let you go?
Why do I still not know how far i should let you go?
It's time to lock the open door
I wish to inspire you to be respectful of me
respect is not gained and not given back to you, that sucks
no one likes a person who does not care
but i regret every single thing that i share
how do i do not know
how far i should let you go?
who to trust? who to trust?
Why do I still not know how far i should let you go?
Why do I still not know how far i should let you go?
Why do I still not know how far i should let you go?
It's time to lock the open door
I do so much for you
I do it all for you
but when i want something back
you see a chance to attack
I do so much for you
I do it all for you
but when i want something back
you see a chance to attack - Track Name: The Box

Challenge your position
challenge the opposition
in the world
in your mind you will find
value your decision
imagine this kind of vision
in your world
in your home or all alone
look at your opinion
then look outside your union
for a thought
of someone else
it really helps
look at the box around you
look at the box around you
look at the box around you
look at the box around you
all i ever really wanted
all i ever really wanted is peace
a piece of mind with you
all i ever really wanted
all i ever really wanted is a piece of mind with you
all i ever really really wanted
all i ever really really wanted
is some peace, with the rest of the world
the rest of the world
you're all alone
you're all alone
you're all alone
you're all alone
are you really making it a better place to be
when the world that's outside your box is free?
and you can't open your heart to those
who believe in some things that you oppose
are you really making it better?
are you really trying to make it better?
i just want us all to be happy
i just want us all to be happy but
look at the box around you
look at the box around you
look at the box around you
look at the box around you
i just want us all to be happy
i just want us all to be happy
look at the box around you
look at the box around you
look at the box around you
look at the box around you
look at the box around you
look at the box around you - Track Name: Result
-
every single thing that happens
every single day of my life
goes on paper in some place where
it's added to a formula
this formula takes averages
from each week added to the month
to make me seem the way i am
on the outside to you today
and the result is negative
and the result is negative
and the result is negative
and the result is negative
each response i get from people
no matter how small the subject
each reaction gets locked away
helping to create how i'll act one day
and the result is negative
and the result is negative
and the result is negative
and the result is negative - Track Name: Canvas

I hate how we're so different
will you ever see my intent?
I feel things on a level you wont
you see things on a level I don't
If I could explain myself to you
you'd understand the things that I do
I'm not always right
but I'd love you to listen
from the outside a cloud of sand
It's just a symptom of how I am
should I feel guilt for all I do
when everything is done from you
It's just a cause and effect
I'm never in control
I've always left it up to you
I'm just canvas, and you're the paint
but who's painting?
but who's painting?
but who's painting?
but who's painting?
I'm always changing
but who's painting?
i didn't even make these words
they just came along
the instruments and everything
everything about this song
you just don't know
how to say what you feel
i can't take it literally
can't see for face value anymore
and i see how you don't intend to hurt me
you just don't know how to say what you feel
i can't take it literally
can't see for face value anymore
and i see how you don't intend to hurt me
you just don't know how to say what you feel
i can't take it literally
can't see for face value anymore
and i see how you don't intend to hurt me
you just don't know how to say what you feel
i can't take it literally
can't see for face value anymore
and i see how you don't intend to hurt me
you just don't know how to say what you feel
