I’m too old for this shit …

You made your bed 
now you gotta lie in it
Oblivious to the mess you left around it
Blood stained sheets betray the pictures 
you painted to pull me in 
but Underneath your pretty colours
I can see the rot creeping 

This twisted love 
is as fake as you are
How much is enough 
When you’re taking , playing so hard 
oh Twisted love 
now I see your true face 
my twisted love is forever ..
forever your Disgrace 

Right on the edge 
one wrong step you fall in
this Oblivion of your own making 
Everybody leaves  u and you never wonder why
Tears and titties aren’t gonna fix 
everything all the time 

This twisted love 
is as fake as you are
How much is enough 
When you’re taking , playing so hard 
oh Twisted love 
now I see your true face 
my twisted love is forever ….
forever your Disgrace 

i remember  the day 
you said i took your breath away 
i was holding my breath
trying not to feel the same 
catching hold of my hand 
as i looked away 
you wouldnt understand 
what my eyes were sayin
(My twisted , my twisted love)

now all i can think about 
is how to takeyour breath away 
do you think you deserve 
to breath the same as me?…

Twisted Love…

in an accent long unspoken
in an ancient dialect
curses, blessings, symbols, token
the janitor, the architect
born to care and to dissect
and dream the dream of the unwoken

like a bird within a flight of thought
falling upwards, held within
an endless tunnel copper-wrought
bats, the arching acrobats and next of kin
to passage-dwellers of the interim
who cuddle up head-down and midnight-fraught

about to take flight to the light
like a silent spell and serpent word
burning brightly in the night
like a river’s moon shedding a midnight beam
sheathing the last, unseeing and unseen
sheathing the last remaining sword

Henryk Pachulski  (1859 – 1921)  — Prelude In C Minor Op. 8, No. 1

Henryk Pachulski — Prelude In C Minor

This song is a new one written this year and it's about how we've all become Broken Mirrors in some way. All of us, we were a loving people, not a cruel people, we were a caring people, not a hateful people, we were a hard working and strong people but also a very fragile people and I feel we've become a little bit more shattered in recent years. Our beliefs and hopes have diminished somewhat and this song reflects that broken mirror in us all. It's harder and harder to stay positive in this crazy hateful world today. I sang this one since Charlie was not available. I think the mix was too loud but I'm having problems with my computer and couldn't adjust the sound in my film editor like I usually do.

I worked hard on the video and tried to follow the lyrics as close as possible. It will drop on August 1st on YouTube. It's about our lack of empathy as of late and this constant hatred for other people that I now sense in this great country of ours!.  So I asked myself, how did we get here? When a country starts depriving its citizens of basic needs like healthcare and not helping our senior citizens and ignoring the less fortunate among us and stop assistance for veterans (like me) that risked our lives for this country, then we're on a road to destruction and our government has failed us.  All I can do is write songs, so songs I shall write. I still believe in love, love is always the answer!  Take care & God bless!🙏😎✌🏼

“BROKEN MIRRORS"

WE LIVE INSIDE OUR CASTLES,
WE HIDE BEHIND OUR WALLS,
WARM AND SECURE, NEVER ENDURE,  
HARDSHIPS THAT BEFALL,             
THE CRESTFALLEN AMONG US,
THE ONES THAT WE IGNORE,      

PRETEND THEY DON’T EXIST,
PERHAPS THEY’LL MELT AWAY, 
THEY’LL DISAPPEAR, ALONG WITH FEARS, 
WE MAY BE THEM ONE DAY,
THEY REALLY NEVER MATTERED,
THE WRETCHED WE DEPLORE, 

BROKEN MIRRORS, BROKEN MINDS,
SOMETIMES WE CHOOSE TO BE BLIND,
CONVINCE OURSELVES, WE’RE MILES ABOVE,  
THOSE THAT BEG AND CRAWL,
 BROKEN MIRROR ALWAYS REFLECT, 
 WHAT’S BROKEN IN US ALL,

MAN IS A STRANGE CREATURE,
SO CRUEL BUT YET SO KIND, 
OUR TAPESTRY IS OUR ARTISTRY,
OUR HEART SOMETIMES SUBLIME,    
YET SOME HAVE A DARKER SIDE,
THEY LURK BEHIND SATAN'S DOOR,  

     BROKEN MIRRORS, BROKEN MINDS,
     SOMETIMES WE CHOOSE TO BE BLIND,
     CONVINCE OURSELVES, WE’RE MILES ABOVE,  
     THOSE THAT BEG AND CRAWL,
     BROKEN MIRROR ALWAYS REFLECT, 
     WHAT’S BROKEN IN US ALL.

My Way ( FT Angus Kennedy)

Tantos inocentes perdidos no caminho
Fugimos de nós, mas voltamos sozinhos
Buscamos um lugar que talvez nem exista
Mas seguimos, de alma em alma, de pista em pista

Mas eu te vejo
Deixa eu ser teu
Me perde e encontra
Outra vez aqui
 
O silêncio pesa mais que a discussão
Porque o que mata é o que fica no coração,
Nos perdemos tentando ter razão
Mas a alma pede paz e não aprovação

Quem somos agora, se não tentar
De sermos inteiros, inteiros
Sem fugir, sem mentir, só entender
Talvez consiga te encontrar

Mas Eu Te Vejo

Sentado em cima das pernas da mesa

I did this coz,   It's Ozzy... rest in loud my Prince.

See lyrics below:

SUBMISSION
That ideal that beckons to me
under a much too distant sun
as an inaccessible idol
then I dream my destiny ...

Released from taboos
released from mud
released from us, from us, from us ...
Twist, twist the neck
what is in us
to those who see in us
the submission

Give up being the target
of sorrow distributors 
2 $ a share of possible
it can not be a destiny ...

Released from taboos
released from mud
realeased from us, from us, from us ...
Twist, twist the neck
what is in us
to those who see in us
the submission
compromise and submission
compromise and submission
compromise and submission
compromise and submission ....

LA SOUMISSION
Cet idéal qui me fait signe
sous un soleil bien trop lointain
comme une idole inaccessible
alors je rêve mon destin...

Délivrée des tabous
délivrée de la boue
délivrée de nous, de nous, de nous...
Tordre, tordre le cou
à ce qui est en nous
à ceux qui voient en nous
la soumission

Renoncer à être la cible 
des distributeurs de chagrins
deux euros la part de possible
ça ne peut pas être un destin...

Délivrés des tabous
délivrés de la boue
délivrés de nous, de nous, de nous... 
Tordre, tordre le cou 
à ce qui est en nous
à ceux qui voient en nous
la compromission et la soumission
la compromission et la soumission
la compromission et la soumission
la compromission et la soumission....

La Soumission - Submission - (Collaboration featuring OCA & C.Weber)

Composer, Singer/Songwriter of ethereal folk, dreamy ambient and chilled out electronica .

I first started posting my music on Soundcloud in late 2012. 

I've found it to be a very inspiring and supportive community of music creators. 

I have also made friends with great people and collaborated with some really talented artists on here.

Thanks to all who support - It means a lot to me :)
