Happy Friday The 13th and all things Halloween.

Let’s dance our cares away at the Masquerade

There, at the stroke of midnight
Time, without asking, begins unmasking
the power of its nameless might
The clock is tick-tocking
When the raven comes knocking
Rapping thrice at the door
Nevermore
Nevermore
Nevermore.

Masquerade

Indie rock with a 80’s/90’s vibe …

Start (How did you know ) written Oct 2023 

I’ll start from the beginning 
I was surrounded by love 
And it all became too much 
When I Stood on the cusp 
Of adulthood 
I can see it was never enough 

You had no support but you still remained
The most positive person I’ve ever seen constrained 

How did you know 
I’d hide if love took control
How did you know 
It would all take it’s toll 

You stopped me in my tracks 
I had never felt such a force 
It told me I should reason 
With my darkest thoughts 
Because in the light 
Is where life is taught 

You had no support but you still remained
The most innocent person I’ve seen restrained  
 
How did you know 
I’d hide if love takes control
How did you know 
It would all take it’s toll

Nous ...
Texte de Say M
Chant : Julia
Musique : Alain Illos 

Nous,
Ne les écrirons jamais
Ces paroles qui nous aiment
Mais qui nous ont menées
Vers un jardin d'ébène
Aux amours végétés
N'y entre que la peine
Que des vœux oubliés
Nous,
Ne nous obligerons jamais
À recouvrir de haine
Nos pas ensoleillés
Autour de l'Aquitaine
Et d'une vierge dorée*
Témoin de nos "Je t'aime"
De nos rêves échangés
Nous,
Ne remplacerons jamais
Au parfum de l'hiver
Tous nos troublants étés
Au devant de la scène
Cet enfant désiré
Qui ne sera la sève
De notre amour vidé
Nous,
Ne les écrirons jamais
Ces paroles qui nous aiment
Mais qui nous ont menées
Vers un jardin d'ébène
Aux amours végétés
N'y entre que la peine
Que des vœux oubliés
Nous,
Ne le deviendrons jamais
Nous,
Ne le deviendrons jamais

We...
We will,
Will never write them
These words that love us
But have led us
To an ebony garden
To vegetated loves
Only sorrow enters
Only forgotten vows
We'll never
Will never make us
To cover with hate
Our sunny steps
Around Aquitaine
And a golden virgin*
Witness to our "I love you" moments
Of our shared dreams
We'll never
Will never replace
To the perfume of winter
All our troubling summers
To the front of the stage
This longed-for child
Who will never be the sap
Of our emptied love
We will,
Will never write
These words that love us
But have led us
To an ebony garden
To vegetated loves
Only sorrow enters
Only forgotten vows
And we,
Will never become
We'll never
Will never become

Lyrics:

When she was a little girl her daddy was the one
That she adored and looked up to
He taught her so much, they played in the sun
He was the king in her life..

She grew older
Her daddy's heart grew colder
He was no longer her king..
And all she could see was a thorn
In her faded memory

When she was fourteen her mother told her
Your daddy is not your real dad..
It broke her heart, she lost her king
She became angry and sad

She grew older
Her daddy's heart grew colder
He was no longer her king..
And all she could see was a thorn
In her faded memory

While time passed, and she moved on
Her faded memory returns..
It didn't feel painful
No longer a thorn
But her daddy's heart was gone..

While she grew older
Her daddy's heart grew colder
And he was no longer her king..
But now she can see her king
In her faded memory...

'your addiction' 

Scratch Kelly: beats, production, photography
Scotty: lyrics, vocals, guitars 

I loom in the subconscious of your mind.
I won't reveal myself until it's time.
Assume you're well until I come to find
your weakness. Then your ass is fucking mine.
And once I get my filthy hands on you,
you'll have no idea of the things that you will do
to get me into your blood, and when I'm through,
you'll crave my love and I'll be stuck with you. 

Finding it hard to live without my love?
Finding it hard to cope without my love?
Finding it hard to kick your need for my love?
You're stuck, babe, I'm your addiction. 

Consumed by the evils in your mind.
You're ruined by the fecal memories you find.
Your wounds that you can't forget or leave behind.
Resume with your need for my love until you die. 

Finding it hard to live without my love?
Finding it hard to cope without my love?
Finding it hard to kick your need for my love?
You're stuck, babe, I'm your addiction.

your addiction (with Scratch Kelly)

A Song For The Dreamers

One Day Soon

Sometimes it feels like we’re two old young lovers
We break up to avoid embarrassing promises
We get back together and the cycle repeats
And the clock keeps on ticking and the years slip away

Slip away, slip away, time slips away
The clock keeps on ticking but we still feel okay
Two old young lovers and we think we’re so hip
Two old young lovers on a strange crazy trip

We’re two uncertain hunters on a futile quest
Searching for the lost ark looking for the address
We’re two supporting actors looking for a leading role 
But most nights we’re just hunker down in our fox hole

Slip away, slip away, time slips away
The clock keeps on ticking but we still feel okay
Two old young lovers and we think we’re still hip
Two old young lovers on a strange crazy trip

We see ourselves as young brilliant story tellers
But as we tell our tales, we repeat ourselves
Sometimes we’re tossed about by insignificant whirlwinds
We feel as precarious as crumbling towers

Slip away, slip away, time slips away
The clock keeps on ticking but we still feel okay
Two old young lovers and we think we’re so hip
Two old young lovers on a strange crazy trip

We break up to avoid embarrassing promises 
That we never intended to keep
But then we get back together again 
Cause this hole that we dug is so deep

Sometimes we’re riding on the shoulders of giants
Other times we’re completely self-reliant

Some days it feels like we’re in control
Other days it feels like it’s just a dice roll

Sometimes we’re as strong as a young climbing flower
Other times it feels like we’re losing our power

We’re two old young lovers who don’t want face the truth
We’re two old young lovers trying to cling to our youth

Slip away, slip away, time slips away
The clock keeps on ticking, but we still feel okay
Two old young lovers and we think we’re so hip
Two old young lovers on a strange crazy trip
Two old young lovers and we’re joined at the hip
