Long Time Waiting

Long Time Waiting - John Hardman Band

Oh...
No matter what you desire 
Remember 
Oh no matter what you desire 
Jehovah says 
Acknowledge the Lord 
In all thy ways 
And He will accomplish your ways oh.
Oh no matter what you desire 
No matter, remember one day 
You will leave them behind 
So never make these things a do or die 
Oh.. Desire the heavenly things 
Desire the things that are holy
Desire the things that are Godly 
Desire the things that are worthy 
Make sure they are worthy things 
Oh... No matter what you desire 
Jehovah says 
Make them holy things 
When you celebrate 
When you are happy 
What things do you do?
Heaven rejoice when sinners repent of their sins 
Heavens rejoice when sinners repent let not the things you celebrate push you into sin 
Temptations come along 
But so not fall 
Deliver us from evils 
And lead us not into temptation the Lord's prayer said 
Oh fix your mind on things above 
Oh no Matter what we are running after 
A day is coming that we'll leave them behind 
We're gonna look at them and they'll make no sense 
So, don't, yeah I say don't 
Don't give your life to them vanity
I say don't give your life to them vanity..
Oh Desire peace
Desire love
Desire joy
Desire righteousness 
Desire holiness 
Desire love 
Desire salvation 
Desire Godliness 
Desire every good things 
Desire mind of Christ in you
Mind of Christ in me.

Desires

Sky spitting can’t decide what it wants to do
I wish it would just open up and pour down on me
At least to stop the wipers squeaking across the windshield
intermittent wipers keep streaking across the windshield

I’m driving in the dark 
away from my one time home
Wondering if and when
We will all be together again

And we can see that life is balanced
So precariously
And when it comes to tomorrows,
There is no guarantee

And sometimes from the edge
There is a beautiful, beautiful view
If the fear of falling 
doesn’t have to tight a hold on you

And sometimes from the edge
There is a beautiful, beautiful view
If the fear of falling 
doesn’t have to tight a hold on you

View From the Edge

A 90s new man called stan - Funky Mumbles (Less talkin mix)

You called me in the dead of night
Said, "Prove your love, come win the fight"
Through storms and streets, I made my way
To find you standing cold and grey
Your gaze was sharp; your words, a maze
But I thought I'd earned your praise

It was a test
To see how far I'd bend
It was a test
A game you'd never end
You wrote the rules, the marks you'd keep
And all I did was fall too deep

You placed the glass within my hand
And told me, "Drink to understand"
The taste was bitter, sharp with lies
Yet I swallowed for your sighs
But when I staggered, you just smiled
And called me weak-a foolish child

It was a test
To see how far I'd fall
It was a test
Not a chance at all
You pulled the strings, a wicked jest
While I unraveled at your request

You set the stage, a gilded trap
With praise that hid the poison's snap
No answer right, no move to win
The judge, the jury-your hidden grin
I took my shot, I played my part
But you tore through my fragile heart

It was a trap
A noose you couldn't see
It was a trap
Never meant to set me free
You built the walls, locked every door
And left me wanting something more

But here's the twist-you failed the most
You played the god, but I was the ghost
I broke the script, I'm leaving now
Your rules are dust, I'll take my bow

It was a test, but now I see
You wanted power, not honesty
It was a trap, a cruel charade
But now I'm gone-you're the one betrayed

It Was a Test

The core theme of this track is “Empathy and support” that revolves around people’s desire to understand and support their closest companion who appears sad. The repeated lines "We are on the same boat" and "We are on the same ship" emphasize a sense of shared experience and a willingness to navigate challenges together.
The mood of the song is calm, chill, sad, and ethereal.

The tempo is 100 bpm which goes with piano and a soothing vocal sound. Bridge part was touched with tenor saxophone which makes a strong connection between narration and musical emotion.

By adding rich reverb effects, sound became ambient while still maintaining a usual pop sound.

We are on the same boat

This unusual track is a mix of electronic and rock.

Circle of life and dead is naturally present in our life. For me to undestand it deep is part of my spiritual path.

The Cycle Of Life And Dead

Bandcamp

Original song by Pat Waters created in my home studio using Ableton. Version 13.

Waiting

Today is calling with a crooked smile
Just 5am and I walk a crooked mile
And you there sleeping like a little child
And me here working, and the thought it drives me wild
And oh no, got to make it through the day
It ain’t forever but I got to earn my pay
The kick inside you says it’s got to be this way and so I’m

Walking on a thin line, everyday just to join the line
Walking on a thin line for you just to see this through
Walking on a thin line 5am just to make you mine
Walking on a thin line for you, hope we’ll make it through

The sun it falling as I walk these dirty streets
15 below, I can barely feel my feet
Turn the corner and she’s waiting by the wall
My heart is beating and I’m waiting for her call
And I’m home and I’m taking in your smile
Is this forever, or is it just a little while
And if we’re guilty then I’m ready for the trial and so we’re

Walking on a thin line, everyday just to join the line
Walking on a thin line for you just to see this through
Walking on a thin line 5am just to make you mine
Walking on a thin line for you, hope we’ll make it through

Now you’re here dreaming, laying in my arms
3 hearts are beating, underneath the stars
But I’m not sleeping, ‘cause I got to find a way
To pack away our fantasies, our Dreams and fly away…..
