"Intelligent Pop/Rock Songs For All Of Humanity" All tracks written,performed,produced,and engineered by none other than Robert Nix himself.
I'd like to start by saying The Beatles album the brilliant "Magical Mystery Tour" was the first piece of music I recall listening to at the age of 6 and that was a huge life shaping event for me to say the least.
When it comes to my tracks I write about alot of different subjects and I will briefly describe the 8 tracks on my album "It's A Complicated World":
"AND YOU WANT TO BE KING" 2:48 from "It's A Complicated World"[GUITAR BASED TRACK]
'A track about the lack of modesty so often found in today's society,some people aren't content with being a "Peasant" "Not Even A Prince",they have to at (all costs) be "KING"'
"IT'S A COMPLICATED WORLD" 4:36 from "It's A Complicated World"[GUITAR BASED TRACK]
'Finding a place to fit into in this ever changing "Complicated World" "In Which We Live In" can be difficult for many people and quite frankly it can "Leave You Feeling Jaded And Torn"
"A BLACK SPOT ON HUMANITY" 4:50 from "It's A Complicated World"[KEYBOARD BASED TRACK]
A track about genocide-someone in Germany in the 1930's and 40's was able to get alot of people to assist him in wiping out almost all of this race's population in Europe.
His/these actions along with all the other genocides that have occurred throughout human history have permanently put "A Black Spot On Humanity" to be perfectly honest with you.'
"SHE MEANS ALOT TO HER FRIENDS AND FAMILY" 5:49 from "It's A Complicated World"[KEYBOARD BASED TRACK]
A track about a girl I met,she was and I imagine still is completely dedicated to leading the vegan lifestyle and was interested in working with children-I wasn't able to get a relationship going with her but there was no doubt in my mind that this girl "Means Alot To Her Friends And Family"
"THE GOOD DEEDS" 6:59 from "It's A Complicated World"[KEYBOARD BASED TRACK]
'This track(and I'll admit it's a long one)is dedicated to all the Martyrs of this world.'
"COME TO YOUR SENSES" 5:13 from "It's A Complicated World"[KEYBOARD BASED TRACK]
'I was thinking about some "bluesman"(no one in particular) who was the innovator of all these great guitar licks and song styles but he never got the credit he deserved-other people used his ideas and made a lot of money off them and achieved fame as well.'
"IT'S THE DAY'S END" 2:55 from "It's A Complicated World"[KEYBOARD BASED TRACK]
'The sun had definitely set when I composed this one-there's a certain feeling you get at the end of the day and I tried to capture it in this one.'
'A little footnote-My Dad actually likes this track!'
"I NEED YOU" 5:29 from "It's A Complicated World"[GUITAR BASED TRACK]
'Just your basic "desire" type of song;this song also relays the thought of "wishing" that members of the opposite sex could somehow "Understand All My Crazy Thoughts And All My Silly Plans".Checkout the "Waltz Section" in the middle of this track'.

Quote: "In this complicated world of ours, it’s good to know that smart and passionate people like Robert Nix are diligently using music to understand this complex home planet of ours."
By Dan MacIntosh
This CD's title reminds us that it’s a complicated world after all, and its creator, Robert Nix, doesn’t try to convince us otherwise. Nix’s singing voice sometimes sounds eerily like Jim Morrison of The Doors, who was himself an especially complicated individual. The world may be a complicated place, but Nix applies basic, good musical values to his songs here.
In addition to this CD’s title track, “A Black Spot On Humanity” also reveals how Nix consistently applies a big picture viewpoint to his lyrics. His songs alternate between being guitar-based and keyboard-based, with “A Black Spot On Humanity” exemplifying one of his keyboard-oriented songs. This latter track also utilizes orchestral string elements.
In contrast to his mostly wide angle lens lyrics, “She Means A Lot To Her Friends And Family” is positively microscopic in comparison. Nix can become extremely passionate while he’s singing, which sets the contrastingly quiet “It’s The Day’s End” apart from the rest. In this complicated world of ours, it’s good to know that smart and passionate people like Robert Nix are diligently using music to understand this complex home planet of ours.

In addition to composing I enjoy leading an environmentally friendly lifestyle;for example I have a fantastic running car but I leave it at home and use my lightweight street bicycle for general short distance commuting instead.
Did you know a staggering 40% of all car trips in the U.S. and Canada are made to destinations only 2 miles(3.2 Km)away from home-that's alot of co2 entering our atmosphere as a result of these very short auto commutes.
Another part of the environmentally friendly lifestyle in my opinion is going vegetarian/vegan and that's what I did some 5 years ago.All the energy(and water)required to raise cattle for example is substantially more(a whole hell of alot more)than the amount of energy and water required to grow wheat and soybeans for example.
Another factor that contributed to my decision to dump eating meat forever were some articles that I read that pertained to the slaughterhouses and the commercial fishing vessels-not a pretty picture.The level of cruelty and disregard for other non-human forms of life in both the slaughterhouses and the commercial fishing vessels is completely unacceptable and I will not support those industries ever again.
2 great environmental/animal rights sites worth checking out are:www.greenpeace.org and www.peta.org-these 2 sites just might change your life forever and for better too.
I have a fascination with the universe-they say it continues to expand but they also say one day it will contract.As far as our solar system(which is just a little dot when compared to the size of the universe)is concerned it's said to measure some 4.6 billion miles from the sun to the furthest extent of Pluto's orbit.
Here's a few facts about our solar system that will blow your mind:sunlight reaches the Earth in 8 minutes but it takes 7 hours for it to reach Pluto-no wonder Mickey and Goofy don't want to live there!

It's a Complicated CD!
author: Louise PeacockRobert Nix is not a simplistic songwriter. Each of his songs has a special message or meaning. the album holds your interest all the way through, because it is not predictable. There is cohesion - but not boredom. Robert's approach to each song is unique, because each story that he is telling is unique..... In my opinion, it is the individual stories that make this album so interesting and appealing. ....Another thing that I really appreciate is the production quality. Robert is a good songwriter, and with this collection of songs, he challenges us to think about things.
a good intellectual album keep up the good work robert
