communication, tell me what you need
hot and hard and dirty intimacy
is what I crave tonight

can I fuel your fire inside
can I lay you down tonight
can I fuel your fire tonight
can I taste your desire inside

cast inhibitions and vulnerabilities all aside
can I lay you down tonight
communicate and tell me what you need tonight
what do you crave tongiht

can I fuel your fire inside
can I lay you down tonight
can I fuel your fire tonight
can I taste your desire inside

it's your time now honey, it's your time to grind
put that fire in me now honey, open up to me tonight
can I taste your desire inside

I came across the page of Natalie (Caught in a Moment) https://soundcloud.com/missx-3 and instantly fell in love with her voice and music. 

The original song was a live-recording of Natalie's voice and piano. 
https://soundcloud.com/missx-3/peace-of-mind-theres-hope
I added a few things to make a duet version out of it. Here is the result, I hope you enjoy. Sound quality is limited due to live recording and the necessity to split it up in stems to re-mix it. Hope you don't mind.

Caught in a moment - vocals, piano, composition, lyrics.
BeSinger - vocals, guitars, lapsteel, strings, rearrangement.

Lyrics

I can read your mind
its the calm after the storm
it was breaking us
but will never reach our souls

theres a peace of mind
one I never thought Id find
so glorious
all my doubts have turned to dust

never seemed so bright
we're the a calm after the night
for that distant light
its so worth to face all fights

never seemed so bright
though I never thought Id find
so glorious
all my fears are made of dust

Theres hope!

Peace of Mind (There's Hope) - Collab with Caught in a Moment

A simple  '80s styled bum-shaker I completed recently.

Mt Vesuvius

Right now, vague anxieties in the world strike us like noise.
What is its root cause? Sadness? Anger? Or fear? No, that's not it.
Its true nature is the fear called "loneliness" that suddenly comes to anyone.
Even if filled with love, friendship, or family, loneliness somehow crosses the mind.
In this world, I am the only one. The only one who knows me is myself. The feeling of loneliness is very painful.
However, we face that loneliness sincerely.
That is precisely what allows us to truly notice others' loneliness, empathize with others' sadness, and become advocates who grasp others' feelings.
When we feel loneliness and based on that are able to erase the world's noise, we perceive everything as conscious.
But the world is so impermanent, and someday the end of life will come to you and me too.
What we leave behind then is not a big deal.
What exists there is a world of "nothingness." Yes, everything returns to nothing. The world and we all return to nothing. But the "nothingness" embraces the world—gently, strongly, bravely, and cheerfully, peacefully, and calmly..."

Gummy (Inst.)

Taken from the forthcoming album: My Sweetheart The Liar

A song about the vultures circling and waiting to pick at the carcass of a dead relationship. 

Did you know: Vultures have evolved strong immune systems and highly acidic stomachs that allow them to eat decaying flesh without getting sick from the harmful bacteria and pathogens present in it.

Every day is a school day. I'm happy to learn and learn from my mistakes.

LYRICS:
So look out Mr Waiting In The Wing
Desperately trying to type the right thing
Waiting on your big chance
With her second hand romance
You circle like a vulture
You hover and you linger
And drum impatient fingers
On keys of plastic and ivory

It's just a warning

So look out Mr Waiting In The Wing
You think you're going to be an exception
To her deceitful ways
Questioning everything she says
And will she ever attest
You're always going to be second best
To a ghost on a pedestal
That haunts her lonely final days

It's just  a warning

There's addiction she has to feed
Should she desire, should she need to
Enjoy it while it lasts
You're never going far
Don't ignore red flags
She'll look you in the eyes
And never think twice while she's spinning lies
Don't rush and don't move too fast
You've gotta dig deep, don't ignore her past

Do you think you can trust this woman?
Do you think you can change her?
Do you think you can trust this women?
Do you think you can tame her?

She's not trustworthy
No accountability

Do you think you can trust this woman?
Do you think you can change her?
Do you think you can trust this women?
Do you think you can tame her?

Mr Waiting In The Wing

Today I celebrate. Today is a day of celebration. The day of the 40th track. I have come a long way from the first to the fortieth, a huge journey. There were those who were with me from the first moment, step by step. There were those who stood by me along the way. Along the way, I received support, recognition, and friendship. I will be forever grateful to this community, for everything.

Won’t You Please Just Go
Verse 1
It used to be that right and wrong were clear cut, black and white
And people had the courage still to stand and fight the good fight
It used to be that folks could bridge across the partisan divide
Do the right thing and set their differences aside
Now the tech bros want to colonize Mars, and create a brand-new utopia
And if you’re skeptical of their vision, you’re just a luddite with myopia
They’re dreaming of a world of like minds, a place with no dissent
But too much group think has a way of becoming malevolent

Chorus
Won’t you go, won’t you go, won’t you please just go
Get on that rocket ship and fly to Mars (good riddance)
You say you’ll build a better society on the fourth rock from the sun
But there’s lots of work on Earth that still needs to be done.

Verse 2
Columbus sailed west and began a bold new age of exploration
But life on a barren rock seems like a recipe for frustration
It’s easy to be seduced by all that science fiction snake oil
but once you get to Mars, it’ll be nothing but drudgery and endless toil

Bridge
Seems like there are better ways for billionaires to spend their cash
Than living in a tin can on Mars like high-tech trailer trash.
They say the higher you fly, the harder you can fall;
Why trade a living planet for a dusty red ball?

Verse 3
Things can get kind of messy down here on good old planet Earth
You can turn tail and and try to escape this place of humanities birth
You can wipe the slate clean but there’s something in our DNA
You can make people march in lockstep but eventually there will be hell to pay.


Chorus
Won’t you go, won’t you go, won’t you please just go
Get on that rocket ship and fly to Mars (good riddance)
You say you’ll build a better society on the fourth rock from the sun
But there’s lots of work on Earth that still needs to be done

Won't You Please Just Go (to Mars)

The words are from a poem that my grandad composed just before he was killed in action in world war 2. This poem was about my mum and my family didn't know the existence of this poem only until my mum passed away 6 months ago. The lie low in the photo he used to escape from Dunkirk and there is the only photo of my mum "baby blue" and her beloved farther. 

Coz your my baby blue,
