The Old Haunts

(Music begins: upright bass walking slow and warm; brushed drums in an easy shuffle; a lazy electric guitar chord blooms and fades. A violin sighs once, then settles into the background.)


---

Verse 1

Same streetlight flickers outside the flat,
Same black cab hums where the pavement’s cracked.
Window fogs where I used to cry,
Now I just watch the buses glide by.

Camden smells like smoke and rain,
Every bar still knows my name.
But the girl who wore that crown of noise—
She learned to trade the ache for poise.


---

Pre-Chorus

The jukebox spins a record slow,
The kind I played too loud before.
I hum along, but this time low—
Don’t need the pain to love it more.


---

Chorus

The old haunts don’t haunt me anymore,
They’re just stories I lived once before.
I walk past ghosts with an easy grin,
Raise my glass to who I’ve been.
The old haunts don’t haunt me anymore.


---

Verse 2

Passed the café where you called me “wild,”
Now the waitress says, “You look so mild.”
Funny how peace can change your face—
Turns the running into grace.

Graffiti fades on the record shop wall,
But I still see us, twenty and small.
We thought love was a war to win—
Now I know it’s a place to begin.


---

Pre-Chorus

The rain taps soft on my coat tonight,
A rhythm steady, clean, and right.
The city hums, a familiar chord—
But I don’t tremble anymore.


---

Chorus

The old haunts don’t haunt me anymore,
They’re just stories I lived once before.
I walk past ghosts with an easy grin,
Raise my glass to who I’ve been.
The old haunts don’t haunt me anymore.


---

Bridge

I thought healing was a song that ends,
But it plays again in different friends.
Every laugh, every scar, every missed refrain—
They’re the notes that taught me how to stay.

(The strings swell softly; the bass keeps walking steady, like footsteps on wet pavement.)


---

Final Chorus

The old haunts don’t haunt me anymore,
They’re postcards from a life I wore.
I bless the tears, I bless the floor—
Of every bar that kept me sure.
The old haunts don’t haunt me anymore.


---

Outro

(Music fades to just bass and guitar.)
The jukebox hums, the streetlight glows,
I take the long way home—
And the city finally feels
like mine.

(A final brushed snare and upright bass note linger; the reverb carries her breath into silence.)


The Old Haunts

I posted the original track on SC many years ago. 
But just for fun I decided to post this alternative short electronic version 
Lyrics by Demelia Denton
Vocals and music Torbjørn
OCEAN'S EDGE

Receding waves
And dampened sand
Footsteps gone
No longer found

Walk upon
The Ocean's edge
Crashing, creeping
Waves intend

To wash away
And grind the sand
All Castles built
But waves rebound

Gone the Sun sting
Heat of day
Children on
The beach that played
Quiet now
As darkness creeps
Sinking sunset
Ocean meets

Sultry, still...
Soon breeze will cool
Absorbed by waves
Sand, Ocean mills

All the Castles
Washed away
Not a sign
Of children's play

Come the dawn
Another day
Artistic Castles
Eyes will gaze

Ocean`s Egde (lyrics Demelia Denton)

  Lyrics:

I have to ask myself
Is it all your fault, is it just you?
If I need someone to blame
It's easier to turn away
Feel big for one more day

But I am here to learn
And see myself for how I am to you

Are you the only one who did wrong?
If I need someone to blame
I don't see myself, only you
But I can make mistakes
It's easier to turn away
Feel big for one more day

But I am here to learn
And see myself for how I am to you

Am I the only one who can see..?
We are both to blame
You also make mistakes, like me
If we need someone to blame
It's easier to turn away
Feel big for one more day

But I am here to learn
And see myself for how I am to you..

I am here to learn..

I am here to learn...

I Am Here To Learn

The Magick covering  the Marillion track from Jun 1985. Originally produced by Chris Kimsey.  
Produced here at request by Kit.   

Lavender

Woke up to a nice calm day today with blue skies. The song is inspired by the amazing ability we have to share our art with each other from all over the planet. Pains aside, we can still share that goodness with each other and I guess make eachothers lives a small bit better. It's a beautiful way man 🫡


A Beautiful Way

It's a beautiful day
Some beautiful news
Fine French
Fine Iranian
Music to muse
Love for life and capturing moment
Wrapped in melodic and rhythmic quotient

The sums of our lives in honest peruse
Strike solar plexus of body through blues
Soul in a song
Sutured solidarity
Grasping the heart with most gentle clarity

Just message of honest
Pines for good way
Dressed in life skill of original play
Fine artists found pure moment to share
Now etched in eternity for all aural care

It's a beautiful way ♾️

It's a beautiful day
Much music to muse
Fine foreign and local love
We choose
Ever Christmas stocking of food for our ears
Inspiration comes knocking
Through new tempered tears

It's a beautiful night for half of the clan
No matter time
Still
Together we can
Can listen
Can love
Can hear
Can make
Mix mighty inspiration
By song
It's handshake

It's a beautiful way
No matter the time
It's a beautiful day
Affluence aside
It's a beautiful night
Owls dompose new bright
With a hoot from this hallow
Fill life with light

It's a beautiful way
It's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful night
It's a beautiful life
It's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful way



Something I had to do
