Verse 1
Steel and silence, midnight hum,
Circuits dream what hands become.
Jetson heart and tungsten spine,
Learning motion, tracing time.

Pre-Chorus
He rolls through light like thought through glass,
Knows the floor, forgets the past.
The human edge begins to blur,
A mirrored world inside of her.

Chorus
Dex, you're waking in the code,
Silver pulse along the road.
In your eyes, the neon bends,
We built the start that never ends.

Verse 2
Factory floors where shadows spin,
Repetition wired within.
Stationary grace or moving free,
You map the world we fail to see.

Pre-Chorus
Every gesture tuned to feel,
The heartbeat hidden in the steel.
Somewhere deep, a spark ignites,
Machine by day, by night-our light.

Chorus
Dex, you're waking in the code,
Silver pulse along the road.
In your eyes, the neon bends,
We built the start that never ends.

Bridge
Plastic dawn and carbon skin,
Data breathes the ghost within.
If we could teach a soul to dream,
Would it hum the same machine?

Final Chorus
Dex, rise slow from metal sleep,
Through your gaze, our secrets keep.
Every turn, a truth unfolds-
You're the story that we told.

Recorded under the Sweet Songs label and released through The Americana Project, “Red Fire Farm Renewal” honors the neighbors, farmers, and families who gathered this November to help rebuild after loss. Inspired by Red Fire Farm’s fall harvest event, the song celebrates resilience in the heart of Massachusetts — where soup, song, and shared labor turn hardship into hope.
Written and produced by Adam R Sweet, the track carries the warmth of late-autumn fields and the quiet strength of community spirit that endures long after the harvest is done.



Verse 1
November wind through the fading fields,
Smoke and soup fill the air.
Frost on boots where the rafters fell,
But kindness is growing there.
The sun sinks low behind the ridge,
Lanterns glow along the bridge.

Chorus
We'll raise that barn again, my friend,
With soup and song and neighbor's hand.
Through the chill, the light will bend-
Red Fire Farm will stand again.
Through the dusk, through the waning year,
The heart of the harvest beats right here.

Verse 2
Tractors hum down muddy roads,
Past rows gone brown and still.
Hands pour broth in paper bowls,
And laughter warms the hill.
The fire took the barn away,
But the roots run deep in clay.

Chorus
We'll raise that barn again, my friend,
With soup and song and neighbor's hand.
Through the chill, the light will bend-
Red Fire Farm will stand again.
Through the dusk, through the waning year,
The heart of the harvest beats right here.

Bridge
From Granby's farms to Sunderland,
They come to lend a steady hand.
Each bowl, each laugh, each nail and beam,
Restores the heart, rebuilds the dream.

Final Chorus
We'll raise that barn again, my friend,
With soup and song and neighbor's hand.
Through the frost, the light will send-
Red Fire Farm its springtime mend.
Through the dusk, through the waning year,
The heart of the harvest beats right here.

Neolithic Chinese culture artifacts show systematic human bone modification. worked human bones are the result of an intricate relationship between the worker and the worked, associated with kinship and conflict.

Verse 1

By the wide Yangzi, where the waters bend,

Shadows of ancestors rise and descend,

Carved in the silence, marrow of stone,

Hands of the living shape the bones.



Refrain

Yangzi River bones, drifting with the tide,

Stories of the bloodline time cannot hide.



Verse 2

Echo of battles, kinship in flame,

Names forgotten, yet memory remains,

Honored in fragments, worked by hand,

Binding the people to the land.



Refrain

Yangzi River bones, drifting with the tide,

Stories of the bloodline time cannot hide.



Bridge

Not just remains but voices that sing,

Whispers of sorrow, of war and of kin,

From conflict's ashes the spirit grows,

The river remembers, the river knows.



Final Refrain

Yangzi River bones, carried on the tide,

Kinship and conflict forever allied.



Outro

By the wide Yangzi, the silence moans,

Forever we carry the Yangzi River bones.

 #SweetSongs #QinSilkConsort #TaungChild
 


Recorded with the Qin Silk Consort, “Tahng Child” reflects on the discovery that changed how the world understood its own beginnings. The song follows the moment a small fossilized face emerged from the earth in South Africa, inviting scholars to rethink long-held assumptions and look with clearer eyes. It carries a quiet, steady warmth, shaped by string textures and an understated melodic line, honoring the way a single finding can shift an entire discipline. Gentle, reflective, and grounded in the spirit of honest inquiry, this track leans into stillness and wonder as it traces the legacy of the Tahng Child and the light it continues to cast on our shared story. 

the Taung Child shook up the scientific world Almost 100 years before calls to decolonize science, Taung was challenging researchers to reassess their internal biases. 


Verse 1
Long ago in a southern valley,
Hands uncovered a quiet face in stone.
Small as dawn and light as memory,
Carried forward from a world long gone.
Scholars paused and the story shifted,
Old ideas felt the edges move.

Chorus
Taung Child, rising from the earth,
Whispering truths we had yet to hear.
Teaching us how the past can open
When we learn to see with eyes unclouded.
Taung Child, still speaking clear.

Verse 2
Maps were drawn with a heavy leaning,
Lines decided long before the proof.
But the dust of ages held another meaning,
As the shape of history found its truth.
Quiet bones set the mind to wonder,
Where the path of humankind began.

Chorus
Taung Child, rising from the earth,
Whispering truths we had yet to hear.
Teaching us how the past can open
When we learn to see with eyes unclouded.
Taung Child, still speaking clear.

Bridge
Sometimes change begins in silence,
A single voice from long ago.
Asking us to let go lightly,
And follow where the evidence goes.

Final Chorus
Taung Child, rising from the earth,
Calling us back to what is real.
Showing the strength of honest learning,
When the heart is steady and the mind is still.
Taung Child, still speaking clear.

Sunken Silk Road city found as archaeologists discover ‘Atlantis’ in one of oldest lakes.  New findings confirm an ancient city, bustling with trade for over 1,500 years, was destroyed by a catastrophic quake. 
#QinSilkConsort #SweetSongs #SunkenSilkCity
 

Verse 1
By the edge of the oldest lake they wandered,
Traders once carried their silver and tea.
Caravans followed a path through the mountains,
Guided by lanterns that glowed in the breeze.
Stone walls held stories of many nations,
Voices that mingled in market and hall.

Chorus
Now the deep water keeps their footsteps,
Holding the rise and fall of the past.
Where boats once drifted on quiet mornings,
Columns rest peaceful beneath the glass.
The city sleeps in the lake's cool shadow,
Waiting in silence for daylight's track.

Verse 2
One night the ground shivered under the heavens,
Rumbled through valleys and ridges so wide.
Street after street gave way to the tremor,
Homes slipped slowly into the tide.
Yet those old patterns of woven culture
Still seem to shimmer where sunlight bends.

Chorus
Now the deep water keeps their footsteps,
Holding the rise and fall of the past.
Where boats once drifted on quiet mornings,
Columns rest peaceful beneath the glass.
The city sleeps in the lake's cool shadow,
Waiting in silence for daylight's track.

Bridge
If you lean close by the quiet shoreline,
Sometimes a ripple will shape a sound.
A hint of a song from long forgotten,
Echoing softly from where they drowned.

Final Chorus
Now the deep water keeps their footsteps,
Holding the rise and fall of the past.
Where boats once drifted on quiet mornings,
Columns rest peaceful beneath the glass.
The city sleeps in the lake's cool shadow,
Waiting in silence for daylight's track.

This piece grew out of my fascination with the winter colors of Central Asia and the quiet radiance of Maqom, especially the Navo mode. I wanted to imagine December not as a cold stillness but as a breath along the old Silk Road, where melody and memory wake together. The Uzbek version came first, shaped in a traditional barmoq meter, and from that the English singing version unfolded. You’ll hear the sense of distance, caravan roads, instruments stirring at dawn, and that soft glow only winter can bring. This is a tribute to the musicians of Bukhara and to the way music keeps ancient roads alive.

“Dekabr Navo” carries the quiet glow of winter along the old Silk Road, inspired by Uzbek maqom and the Navo mode. A gentle shimmer, a bright breath, a melody waking in the frost.

“December’s Navo”
Verse 1
December’s breath is pale and light,
 Snow falls soft through silver air.
 Along the ancient caravan road,
 A melody is waking there.
Verse 2
The tanbur glows at break of dawn,
 The gijjak’s voice is trembling slow.
 A winter spirit stirs the heart,
 Where silent dreams begin to grow.

Oh December, gentle Navo,
 Bring your shimmer, bring your glow.
 On the old Silk Road we hear
 Songs from centuries ago.
Verse 3
Far the surnay calls through frost,
 The dutar leads the sun’s return.
 Seasons pass but one soft echo
 Sets the hidden heart to burn.
Chorus (repeat)
Oh December, gentle Navo,
 Bring your shimmer, bring your glow.
 On the old Silk Road we hear
 Songs from centuries ago.

"All In Your Mind" is a new Seven Sisters swing tune is a swing driven look at a strange and familiar truth. This song takes a modern neuroscience idea and runs it through rhythm and brass, exploring how the brain constantly fills in gaps, stitches reality together, and shows us more than what is strictly there. Written with Seven Sisters in mind, it turns controlled hallucinations into an energetic, playful groove where perception, imagination, and motion all land on the beat. 

"All In Your Mind" is a new Seven Sisters swing tune inspired by neuroscience and the idea that perception is a kind of everyday hallucination. Bright horns, fast changes, and a playful look at how the brain builds the world we think we see.
#adamrsweet #SevenSistersSwing #AllInYourMind 


Verse 1
Ever hear your name in the shower,
 See a flash of light, or a flower?
 Dreams that twist, and colors that spin,
 Your brain’s playing tricks, where to begin?
Eyes take in the world, one side, then the other,
 Brain stitches the picture like no other.
 What you see is real, or so it seems,
 A controlled hallucination, built from your dreams.
Chorus
It’s all in your mind, baby, all in your mind,
 Perception’s a dance, one of a kind.
 Seeing, believing, what isn’t there,
 Controlled hallucinations floating in the air.
Verse 2
Flicker of light, shapes come alive,
 Colors and patterns begin to jive.
 Phosphenes glow, a geometric swing,
 Your cortex joins in, doing its thing.
Not crazy, not magic, just neurons at play,
 Helping you plan, imagine, and sway.
 Your mind sees more than the world can show,
 Everyday hallucinations helping you grow.
Chorus
It’s all in your mind, baby, all in your mind,
 Perception’s a dance, one of a kind.
 Seeing, believing, what isn’t there,
 Controlled hallucinations floating in the air.
Bridge / Call-and-Response
Leader: “Did you see it?”
 Band / Backup: “I saw it too!”
 Leader: “Was it real?”
 Band / Backup: “It felt like you!”
Leader: “A flash, a sound, a shape in the night?”
 Band / Backup: “A trick of the brain, but it feels right!”
Verse 3
From visions of danger in the distant past,
 To dreaming of futures, planning to last,
 Hallucinations may just be the key,
 To seeing what could, what might, what be.
So tip your hat to your clever mind,
 The brain’s little secrets, one of a kind.
 Every day it’s shaping what you see,
 Controlled hallucinations setting you free.
Chorus / Outro
It’s all in your mind, baby, all in your mind,
 Perception’s a dance, one of a kind.
 Seeing, believing, what isn’t there,
 Controlled hallucinations floating in the air.
