Why can't I get any peace of mind?
Something crushing happens each time
happiness comes my way.
It is never here to stay. 

Fuck the game that we've gotta play
just to live another day. 

I'm beat down, broken and terrified
yet I carry on somehow and take it in stride. 

Fuck the game that we've gotta play
just to live another day. 

Something crushing happens every time
That I think I've achieved peace of mind...

The Game

Here’s my latest track with lots of synths, piano, bass, percussion and vocals. 😊🎶🎹🎵🎼🎧🌷

Big thanks to my awesome bf Sander for this gorgeous mastered version. @wane-of-summer 😊❤️❤️❤️🎶

SPOKEN FOR

Snowbound

A playful piece of music around a cat dreaming about its nine lives – and so the song has nine sections. An electric guitar piece – if you like a bit of overdrive on the axe, then this one’s for you!

Entertaining The Men On The Moon

Here is another song from my revival project.  
Looking back, however, I have no clues why I wrote these bleak songs.  Perhaps it was easier to express in some ways. Anyway, I think music-wise it's still worth a listen.  Just tell me what you think.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
Moonlight's wavering in the lake
It's kind of shaky
The ending's just too hard to take…….reality
Favorite songs (are) slowly fading
Feelings of others I can't earn
Who will ask with deep concern ?

Waiting for someone to call my name
I'm kind of lonely
But I'm dead to all sense of shame
Who will care for me ?
The pain that I can withstand
Who will lend me a helping hand ?
A stranger from distant land ?

(Chorus)
I can't afford to cry, it's a long ride
Streets reeled before my eyes
Hopes are abandoned
My future, fate will decide
There's the way to success
Love and happiness
Where everyone's about to be
With the small exception of me
 
Windows are rattling in the wind
My heart is screaming
Somehow I will have to give in
Better go on dreaming
Morning mist blurred the view
The truth I do not wish to know
I'm a clown in a circus show

** Repeat Chorus ***

Small Exception

Gurdjieff believed that most humans live their lives in a state of "waking sleep," in which they are largely unaware of their true nature and potential. He taught that through self-observation and conscious effort, individuals could awaken to their higher selves and gain access to a deeper understanding of the universe and their place in it.

One aspect of Gurdjieff's work that relates to the idea that the world as a simulation is his concept of "objective reality." He taught that most people are trapped in their subjective reality, which is distorted by their conditioning and beliefs. Objective reality, in contrast, is a more accurate perception of the world as it actually is, free from the distortions of individual perspective.

In this sense, Gurdjieff's work could be seen as a way of "hacking" the simulation of reality, by breaking through the illusions of subjective experience and accessing a more objective and truthful understanding of the world.

The Waking Sleep

Here’s my latest song and arrangement with lots of piano, strings, bass, drums, guitar, synths and vocals.
