Last Man Standing

In a world of ash and ember
Your love keeps me alive
Through the ruins we remember
How it feels to survive

From the ashes of the old
A new world we'll unfold

Phoenix heart, rising from the flame
In this broken world, we'll stake our claim
Love endures when all else falls apart
You and I, with our phoenix heart

Skyscrapers may have crumbled
But our spirits stand tall
Though society has tumbled
We've answered love's call

In the wasteland we roam
Your arms are my home

Through the fire and the storm
We'll keep each other warm at night
In this apocalyptic art
We'll paint with our phoenix heart

Let the old world keep burning
We'll build something new
With each day we're learning
How to make dreams come true

Phoenix Heart - Live

One night, stranded in LA after a gig with a dead phone and no bus in sight, a stranger offered me a ride. Though hesitant, I trusted my intuition and accepted. They turned out to be kind, sharing life advice that stayed with me. 
The song, inspired by that experience, explores how, even in a world where fear and caution are necessary, we still yearn for connection and trust. It’s a reflection on the beauty of unexpected human bonds, vulnerability, and hope — a message that feels more urgent than ever.
 
The song was co-produced with the late Jesse Colin Young (of the 60s hit Get Together), and was recorded live in the studio with legends Laurence Juber (Grammy-winning guitarist for Paul McCartney's Wings), Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp), and Jorgen Carlsson (Gov't Mule).

Lyrics:

Verse1

Summer skies and neon signs
But I was lost in the night
You called out, but no reply
Coz you seemed suspiciously nice

Verse2

Nothing else was in sight
And I kinda needed that ride
Something told me I'd be alright
But (I) had to think twice, I wonder why

Prechorus

In a world of deep blue riptides,
We build our walls up high
But don't we wish and hope to God we find
Find a little sunshine

Chorus

You could be my perfect stranger, You and I
don't you think our crossing paths (is) a perfect sign
I could be your perfect stranger, You and I
And we could find a little sunshine

Verse3

I get too stuck up sometimes
I say I'm doing just fine
coz if I ask for help it might
Make 'em think I'm the weak type

Prechorus

In a world of deep blue riptides,
We build our walls up high
But don't we wish and hope to God we find
Find a little sunshine

Chorus

You could be my perfect stranger, You and I
Don't you think our crossing paths (is) a perfect sign
I could be your perfect stranger, You and I
And we could find a little sunshine

Bridge

Passing by,
I see the diamonds in the sky
I see them in your eyes,
All this time
Didn’t you realize
We have found that light

Chorus

You could be my perfect stranger, You and I
Don't you think our crossing paths (is) a perfect sign
I could be your perfect stranger, You and I
And we could find a little sunshine

You could be my perfect stranger, You and I
Don't you think our crossing paths (is) a perfect sign
I could be your perfect stranger, You and I
And we could find a little sunshine

A Little Sunshine

Lyrics:
Exceptional night, warm candlelight, 
Feeling you could lose your heart without a fight.
Mist in the eye, willing to try to find love.
Moonflower air, senses aware,
Music winds its way up through a dim thoroughfare.
Diamond sky, willing to try to find love.

Ending up the evening with an indigo feeling
Ending up the evening with a sigh
Ending up the evening, ending up the evening in love.

No one’s gonna tell you that it’s time to turn around
No one’s gonna stop the magic now
Everything is pointing in the one direction
The only one that you’ll allow.

Smile in the air, arms that are bare,
Such a heady feeling that you’re not really there.
Drink to the sky, willing to try to find love.

Ending up the evening with an indigo feeling
Ending up the evening with a sigh
Ending up the evening, ending up the evening in love.

Moonflower air, senses aware,
Music winds its way up through a dim thoroughfare.
Diamond sky, willing to try to find love.
 
Ending up the evening with an indigo feeling
Ending up the evening with a sigh
Ending up the evening, ending up the evening in love.

Ending Up the Evening

‘ Hello Mr. Hyde ’ is an introspective look at the demons that hide within; it is also an acknowledgement of them. The album moves through stages beginning with the greeting and recognition, followed by the depression that comes from the acceptance of “ Mr. Hyde ,” but finishing with a peaceful release found through surrendering to God. I believe everyone has their own version of “ Mr. Hyde ” within them and that acknowledging and facing this inner demon is essential to coming to peace with oneself.

When I Break Through

A song I wrote for my wife.
Josh Alvarez on drums

Rubies

Hailstones
You said You said You said what’s better left unsaid
You said You said You said what’s better left for dead
stop breathing life into what we’re trying to forget
stop breathing life into what we’re trying to forget

Let’s make the present moment last
what’s in the future will soon be in the past
So put away those ugly clogs
I want to see you in your fancy fluevogs
Put on that slinky cocktail dress
Forget the laundry and the kitchen mess
Let’s pretend we’re having fun

Let’s pretend we’re having fun
Let’s pretend we’re having fun
It doesn’t matter if its all a ruse
Just pretend we’re having fun until it’s true

They said there’d be tornados
Hailstones as big as your fist
Let’s make the present moment last
What’s in the future will soon be in the past
So let’s pretend we’re having fun 

Let’s pretend we’re having fun
Let’s pretend we’re having fun
We’ll pretend we’re having fun
Just pretend we’re having fun until it’s true

Hailstones

This song is a catchy, heartfelt ode to the kind of crush that stops time and steals your breath with just a glance. With its repetitive hook and hypnotic rhythm, it captures the rush of infatuation—especially for the elusive “girl with the green eyes.” It's simple, sincere, and pulses with youthful longing and admiration.

Girl With The Green Eyes

Verse 1] 
They say love don’t come with eyes  
But baby, yours lit up my skies  
You walked in, and time stood still , 
A silhouette I feel, and yet I feel you still  

Pre-Chorus
They say it's touch, it's trust, it’s soul  
But you got a shine I can't control , 
If I’m supposed to feel, not see—  
Why’s your image burning into me?

Chorus
If love is blind, why do I see you?  
Every move, like a dream come true,  
If hearts don’t need a point of view  
Then why do I see, why do I see… you?  
If love is blind, what’s this light I’m in?  
You're a vision wrapped in cinnamon sin , 
Close my eyes, you still come through—  
So if love is blind, why do I see you?

Verse 2
They say it's more than just the skin  
But baby, your glow pulls me in,  
Your laugh’s a rhythm, sweet and slow  
Like a saxophone in stereo  

Pre-Chorus
They tell me beauty fades away  
But yours gets louder every day , 
If it’s about the heart, not face—  
Then why does yours leave such a trace?

Chorus
If love is blind, why do I see you?  
Every curve in the midnight blue , 
If feelings float, like lovers do  
Then why do I fall every time I view… you?  
If love is blind, what’s this spark I chase?  
You're the moonlight dressed in satin grace  
I close my eyes—you're breaking through—  
If love is blind… why do I see you?

Bridge 
No Braille could trace the story, 
That your body tells in glory  
You’re more than sight, but sight’s the flame  
That called my soul and whispered your name  

Chorus
If love is blind… why do I see you? (Ooh, baby…)  
In every shade, in every hue  
Even when I try not to— , 
Why do I… why do I see you?  
If love is blind… then I must be dreaming  
'Cause your image got my whole heart leaning, 
I don’t need eyes to feel it’s true…  
But if love is blind…  
Why do I see you?

Love is Blind

A hauntingly beautiful composition that unfolds with mournful strings, weaving a delicate tapestry of sorrow and introspection. The arrangement remains minimal, allowing space for each note to breathe, while a subtle ostinato piano motif pulses steadily beneath—a quiet heartbeat of melancholy. The strings swell and recede like distant memories, their bittersweet harmonies evoking a sense of loss, longing, and fragile hope. Perfect for moments of quiet reflection, emotional storytelling, or cinematic scenes heavy with unspoken emotion.

When Strings Break The Silence

A cover of my favourite 90's band The Cranberries. Dolores O’Riordan’s voice always fascinated me and her stunning beauty.  Needs a few more vocals towards the end.  For another day!!

Oh, my life is changing everyday
In every possible way
And oh, my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems

I know I felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you

Then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be

Aah, la-ah-la-ah
La-la-la
La-ah-la-ah

I want more, impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore

And they'll come true
Impossible not to do
Possible not to do

And now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find

A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me

Oh, my life is changing everyday
In every possible way
And oh, my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
'Cause you're a dream to me
Dream to me

Dreams (The Cranberries Cover)

Just Another Weekend III is the darkest and most ritualistic chapter in DNamezys’s trilogy — a cinematic descent into shadow, desire, and spiritual unrest. This is not just an EP. It's a southern gothic sermon, whispered through cracked stained glass and swamp-smoke. Rooted in dark Americana, gothic blues, and cinematic occult rock, the project conjures a slow-burning, sensual storm of sound and poetry. Here, love is a curse, touch is sacred blasphemy, and memory is ash smeared across the altar of the self.

Swampy electric guitars bleed into ambient decay. Drums throb like ritual heartbeats. And through it all, DNamezys delivers his lyrics like an incantation — part preacher, part ghost, part wounded god. This EP isn't meant to be heard; it's meant to be felt, possessed, and survived.

🕯 1. Ashes
A haunting opening ritual. In “Ashes,” DNamezys lights the match to everything once holy — a broken prayer turned poison. With serpentine guitars and funereal rhythm, he chants through grief, obsession, and the bitter taste of belief gone wrong. A gothic blues ballad for the damned and still-devoted.

🩸 2. This Skin
A raw hymn of trauma and identity. “This Skin” is a confessional drenched in blood and memory, where the body becomes both a shrine and a battlefield. It pulses with slow, aching darkness, building to an unholy revelation: to survive love, you become the wound. One of DNamezys’s most emotionally devastating songs to date.

🌙 3. No One Knows
A soft, aching ghost story. Here, the artist strips down to emotional bone, singing of loneliness, invisibility, and the aching desire to be seen without fear. It’s a tender moment in the storm — like lighting a candle in a ruin. Perfect for anyone who’s ever felt too much in a world that wants less.

🔥 4. Divine
The EP’s final spell — erotic, defiant, and unapologetically spiritual. “Divine” is DNamezys in his most powerful form: demanding, trembling, drenched in sacred hunger. Gothic blues riffs rise like incense, while his voice becomes a possessed invocation of desire without shame. This is not love. This is worship.

Just Another Weekend III is a forbidden mass for the emotionally haunted — lovers, artists, monsters, and saints. It closes the trilogy not with resolution, but with transformation. DNamezys doesn’t ask to be healed. He sings to be remembered… in ashes, in skin, in silence, and in fire.

Only A Minute More

When The Morning Comes

Composed , Produced, Written and Arranged by Jah-Femi Telewa

Angel’s Song is a hauntingly beautiful fusion of hip-hop and orchestral soul, opening with angelic choir harmonies and poetic reflections on love, peace, and divine presence. With ethereal ahhhs and vivid imagery, it captures the serenity of nightfall as angels sing and bells ring softly in the background. A meditative journey through sound and spirit.

Lyrics 
Ahhhh
Ahhhhhh
Ahhhh
Ahhh
Ahhh

Let the angels sing,
Let the light true lovers bring.
When the rain falls down,
The flowers would shed petals as they drown.

When night falls dim and the angels start to sing,
That’s when the joy it brings
Settles on the night to bring it calm.

Angels sing,
Calm it brings.

Watch the nighttime,
They’re singing—
The angels
Keep singing.
The bells ring,
Keep ringing,
At the nighttime
While you’re sleeping.

Watch the nighttime,
They’re singing—
The angels
Keep singing.
The bells ring,
Keep ringing,
At the nighttime
While you’re sleeping.

Ahhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhh
Ahhhhhh
Ahhhhh
Ahhhhh
Ahhhhh
