SKySWiM is the core project name for all musical work by Arnie Stanton. Arnie Stanton is into various music genres, including Art Rock, Classical, Jazz, but he also loves to experiment, often in the realm of his own brand of electronica. Arnie creates music meant to evoke deep emotions and strong visual imagery. His lyrics have spiritual overtones, sometimes comforting, but more often, challenging and ominous. He plays trombone, keyboards, and sometimes sings.

"But He [Jesus] turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God’s purposes, but men’s.” (Matthew 16:23) As email spam exploded

Malachi 1:8 8 And when you present a blind animal for sacrifice, is it not evil? Or when you

The Puzzle
Watch the music video also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09yOfiUGPSg For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12)

Trash Can

"For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing: to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life. And who is adequate for these things?" (2 Corinthians 2:15-16)

Afghanistan Apples are Always Architect Abstract
Watch the music video also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTYrTFuydOU In this song, I try to recreate (in my own style) the weird, mysterious, almost creepy feeling I had when, as a 5-year-old, I first heard a big pipe organist play a modern classical piece. It did not seem to have a real beginning or end, and did not seem to be really going anywhere. Seems that such music represents hell in

Walking Wrong Way in IKEA
Watch the music video also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZeJhKV4Xuw I was inspired by a Finnish comedian, Ismo Leikola, who walked the wrong way up the stairs rather than starting at the top and walking down to the bottom of the store. It turned out to be nearly impossible to do, but I did my best. This song is a slight exaggeration of what happened.

No Time (2025)
Watch the music video also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL02HbSAgHk No Time is a song that has to do with the pain and hurt we all feel toward "evil" in the world. The song personifies evil as being the one who originally seduced all of us into our various forms of self-destruction. The song also looks forward to the destruction of evil.

Imagine (SKySWiM Cover)
Watch the music video also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqC-BaryfYk A more realistic and honest interpretation of John Lennon's famous song. See my YouTube video to get a better idea of the junk the original song was trying to get people to believe. But for starters, consider this fact: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/avuadf/is_the_star_of_david_the_star_of_remphan/ I

You're not God (46Bliss Remix by SKySWiM)
Watch the music video also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYeJkGosD_Y As with a lot of remix contests I entered, I initially meant to make my entry a mockery of the original. I started out trying to do that, but after some work, I started to really like the original and the crazy results I was coming up with. I did not place in the contest, but I actually got an honorable mention! Not bad for
