Ladies, don't ever be no down-low gal. If someone can't be proud to have you by their side, they aren't worth your time. #Nice2MeetU

Nice to meet ya?

The big soirée is a semi formal function
Dressed in her best, she finally gets the gumption
To walk across the grand ballroom
With courage in her veins
She strides up to the jovial group
And reaches out her hand
Hello, it’s nice to meet ya

In his face, no trace of recognition
Though they share an intimate connection
They’re paramours behind closed doors
Where passions make a sweet sound
But in public, to be ignored
When introductions come round
I guess it’s nice to meet ya

Do we do this dance again?
Spinning around on a carousel, yeah
He pulls her close, he pulls away
He pulls her close, he pulls away
And even though, he knows her name
It just feels gross, to hear him say
I guess it’s nice to meet ya

Dinner’s served, he slides his hand under the table
Graces her leg with the slightest innuendo
Then looks away, but it's too late
For any more of these games
Cause she's too sick of being played 
In this toxic charade
I guess it's nice to meet ya

Hello, it’s nice to meet ya

Hope That Hope

Ashes and Dreams - Nice 2 Meet U

You may know the album version, but have you heard the < hidden mix >? 😊

Ashes and Dreams' track Running With Renegades version 1.0.

Running With Renegades • The Hidden Mixes 👀

Phosphorus is the debut track from Ashes and Dreams' latest album, Peixes. The band ventures into peaceful, gentle, inspiring waters for this track which speaks to the heart about finding your own light. 

Lyrics:

You
You have to find your own light
You have to make it through the darkest times, darkest times, darkest times
Through the darkness that exists in your mind

You are phosphorus
Are phosphorescent inside
How you shine at night, shine at night, shine at night

Shine at night
Shine at night

You are phosphorus
Are phosphorescent inside
How you shine at night, shine at night, shine at night

Feel
The socks you peel off of your feet
Feel how they radiate your energy, energy, energy
That’s your energy you peeled off your feet

Are phosphorus
Are phosphorus

You are phosphorus
You are phosphorus
Energy
Energy
Energy
Energy

Phosphorus

Ashes and Dreams - Phosphorus

Ashes and Dreams' latest release is the pro-freedom disco anthem, The People. Keep that #peoplepower going!

Lyrics:
A tyrant hypnotized the people with a new law
Waved all the kids into a cave and sealed it with a rock
A diet of lies for breakfast and censorship for tea (all those kids)
Ingesting so much fear it was a struggle just to breathe

Soon the streams of light began to seep in
Soon the streams of questions began

Why don’t you let out our sons
And let out our daughters
Let them embrace the sun
The people have spoken

Let our sons
And let out our daughters
Let them embrace the sun
The people, the people have spoken

Evil, evil will never win
Evil, evil will never win
Evil, evil will never win
Only love can win

The people have spoken
The people have spoken
The people have spoken
The people have spoken

Millions of little lights recognized their power (all that power)
It was hidden inside so they all worked together
To the beat of a new drum
To the beat of freedom

All together
Let out your sons
And let out your daughters
Let them embrace the sun
The people have spoken

Have spoken
Have spoken

Let your sons
And let out your daughters
Let them embrace the sun
The people, the people have spoken
The people have spoken
The people have spoken
The people have spoken
The people have spoken

The people have spoken
The people have spoken

Ashes and Dreams' newest track Let's Ride begins with a wonderful guitar lick from our own Liv Mircea. Feeling a sense of motion in the song, Silver Bella crafted the lyrics around movement, drive and seizing the moment.

Lyrics:
What’s it gonna take for you to shake off these cobwebs
Are you gonna fake it for the rest of your life?
You’d make an escape from all your fears and your problems
But the perfect date just never arrives
And the right set of circumstances
Could just materialize

Let’s ride
Let’s leave
Let’s fly
Believe
Spread your wings and fly

Let’s ride
If you’re gonna ride, if you’re gonna ride
Let’s leave
If you’re gonna leave, if you’re gonna leave
Let’s fly
If you’re gonna fly, if you’re gonna fly
Believe
Spread your wings and fly

Like a fugitive giving the slip to the curious
If you’re gonna dare, better beware of the crime
As the bullets whip, remember why we are doing this
When the small fry’s try and drain you dry
With a high list of expectations
They’ll magically provide

Let’s ride
If you’re gonna ride, if you’re gonna ride
Let’s leave
If you’re gonna leave, if you’re gonna leave
Let’s fly
If you’re gonna fly, if you’re gonna fly
Believe
Spread your wings and fly

Let’s ride
If you’re gonna ride, if you’re gonna ride
Let’s leave
If you’re gonna leave, if you’re gonna leave
Let’s try
If you’re gonna try, if you’re gonna try
Believe
Spread your wings and fly

Let's Ride

Moe Howard mix of the Ashes and Dreams track, Happy Happy Christmas. 

Let's keep striving for a new year filled with peace, unity, love, forgiveness and togetherness, friends. :)

Lyrics:
Another year gone and what's become of this
So many plans we made on New Years Day
It seems those 365
Days just went sideways

Another year gone and what's become of us
A little more fear and a little less trust
That the good in this whole big bad world
Has simply bitten the dust

Happy Happy Christmas
Happy Happy Christmas
Happy Happy Christmas
Another new year 

Another year gone and no one can agree
On how to speak with a little dignity
It seems those 365
Days we went crazy

Happy Happy Christmas
Happy Happy Christmas
Happy Happy Christmas
Another new year

Happy Happy Christmas [Moe Howard Mix]

A June 2015 trip to Cluj Napoca, Romania in eastern Europe inspired the song "Cluj Non Stop" by chillout | lounge artists, Ashes and Dreams.
"Cluj Non Stop" is from Non-Stop Chillout Pop volume 2 released by Sound Strategy Music on April 1, 2016. Lyrics:

Shake your head as you stroll down the sidewalk
Foreigner in a land where you don't talk
Trei ron for an înghețată
Would you like your apă minerala plată

All you tourists can go down to bucharest
'Cause this place is a certified treasure chest
From the grădină botanică 
To the unirii piaţă

Cluj (whoa)
Cluj (whoa)
Cluj (whoa)
Non-stop

Ladies walking 'round in their cute skirts
Boys are dressed but they ain't wearing t-shirts
Think you're cool well you better listen up
Your western style may just not measure up

Take the stradă down to la boheme
She been around since the communist era
The supa de mediterraneana
Mult pentru a vedea

Cluj (whoa)
Cluj (whoa)
Cluj (whoa)
Non-stop

Chill-pop artists Ashes and Dreams bring you a fun, upbeat, inside-the-studio look at the creation of their song, Gonna Work Out.
Lisa Saunders is from Manitoba, Canada, while Liv Mircea resides in Weston Super Mare, UK.
Gonna Work Out is a song on Non-Stop Chillout Pop volume 2 released by Sound Strategy Music on April 1, 2016. Lyrics:

(copyright Lisa Saunders and Liv Mircea, 2015)

Every day you lay a plate of gold at my feet
and I never worry that I'll have enough to eat
Sometimes I get nervous this will be taken away
Then I just remember gotta have a little faith

Gotta trust that it's all gonna work out 
Gonna work out 

You have an effect on me I can't even explain
From the tips of my toes to the neurons in my brain
You make sounds come out of me I never heard before
And I'm gonna raise my voice until I'm feeling sore

Gotta trust that it's all gonna work out 
Gonna work out 

Oh my god I can't control these feelings in my brain
Sometimes these ideas feel like they're driving me insane 
​
​Gotta trust that it's all gonna work out 
Gonna work out ​(repeat to end)

Walk Away is the third track from Ashes and Dreams' 2016 release, Non-Stop Chillout Pop volume 2 released by Sound Strategy Music.
Written by Lisa Saunders (SOCAN) and Liv Mircea (PRS for Music). Lyrics:

Riding in the backseat of your life
Oh what a load
While the ones in front whisper and wind all
Over the road

Go ahead and take the wheel
Steer the hell right out of here
Leave it all right behind
Even if you cannot drive

Go walk a-walk a-walk a-walk away
Go walk a-walk a-walk a-walk away

What's the point in selling off all of your time
You know you shouldn't
Just to earn stress, dead end, unsettled strife
That ain't good

It don't gotta be this way
But only you can make a change
Ain't that the hardest thing to do
'Cause no one else can guide you

Go walk, go walk

Go walk a-walk a-walk a-walk away
Go walk a-walk a-walk a-walk away

Walk Away

Lyrics:

Trying to wake up from the same old dream again
Black and yellow checkerboard fast approaching
Mama said it means the road is dead
But I'm always hoping for

Keep hoping for a happy ending
Keep hoping for a happy ending
Keep hoping for a happy ending
Oh, we're on our way

Is this the final image of my life I'm seeing?
A night time premonition of what lays ahead?
Mama says it means the road is dead
But I'm always hoping for

Keep hoping for a happy ending
Keep hoping for a happy ending
Keep hoping for a happy ending
Oh, we're on our way

Happy Ending

Happy Ending || Stop Motion Animation | Claymation | ElectroPop

Come and take a trip
Take a trip outside of your body
Stretching out the side of your mind
Take a trip outside of your body

Explore a new dimension
Away from all our heartaches and fears
A place where we don't have any cares
Away from all our heartaches and fears

Kaleidoscope of freedom
Letting our bodies entwine
Investigate the meaning of life
Letting our bodies entwine

Black hole explosion
With our heavenly bodyguards
Rolling past Saturn and Mars
With our heavenly bodyguards

It's perfect symmetry
Step into the starlight

Step into the starlight
Fascinate your mind
Stallions are dancing
Sagittari flight
Anything can happen 
When I got you by my side

It's perfect symmetry
Step into the sun
Step into the starlight

It's perfect symmetry
You and me
Step into the starlight

Dreaming of mojitos on the beach
Palm trees and tobacco sceneries

We need an escape
We'll fly away to

Castro's patrol mind us on the sand
Losing control, your hand in my hand

We need an escape
We'll fly away to
Havana

Just a little break
Let me take you away to
Havana

We need an escape
​We'll fly away to

Just a little break
I'll take you away to

At the swim up bar in

A staycation by the sea
It's just you and me in

You got 5,000 no's
You're clinging to the end of that rope
5,000, 5,000 no's
And still for that yes you hope

I'll take a million
Take a million more
Take a million, take a million more
Take a million, take a million more
You only need one to score

5,000 no's
Sometimes it feels this world is too cold
You got 5,000, 5,000 no's
But there's no way this dream can get old

I'll take a million
Take a million more
Take a million, take a million more
Take a million, take a million more
It only takes one to score

The ringy ding doorbell won’t stop going
The bills pile high, the mortgage is late
Debt pressing your chest like a dead weight

Put your fear into your rearview mirror

Keep on b-b-b-believin’
Keep on b-b-b-believin’
Keep on b-b-b-believin’
In you

When all your cold calls are never enough
And your resume sent to oblivion
Me and the kids got a message for you
Don’t you worry baby you’ll get your break soon

Put your fear into your rearview mirror
Put your fear into the atmosphere

Lyrics:
Hey babe, I hear you're looking
For a ride that's good
For a ride that's good
And you're more than welcome
To look under the hood
Look under the hood

I think I'll use my feet
Or maybe take the bus
Jump in a taxi
'Cause I don't need a

Test drive
I got no need
For that kind of speed
You’re looking to good to be true

If you want to trade in
Take me for a spin
Take me for a spin
Yeah babe, I’ll get you more miles
Than that beat up hunk of tin
Beat up hunk of tin

I think I'll use my feet
Or maybe take the train
Jump in a taxi
Babe, 'cause I don't need a

Test drive
I got no need
For that kind of speed
You’re looking to good to be true

Test drive
You can’t be real
With that kind of deal
Now what is a girl to do

Ooh, laying rubber all over town
Ooh, laying rubber all over town
That’s right
You know it
Tell that one to hit the highway

Test drive
I got no need
For that kind of speed
You’re looking to good to be true

Test drive
You can’t be real
With that kind of deal
Now what is a girl to do

Test drive
I got no need
For that kind of speed
You’re looking to good to be true

Test drive
You can’t be real
With that kind of deal
Now get in your car and shoo

Come on and put, put your money down, girl
Come on and put, put your money down

Lyrics:

White wall tires
’68 Parisienne
Eager buyer
Wants to feel his hair in the wind

Putting down his foot, going fast fast fast
Leave it all behind at last
Got his hands on
Cash money

Mama’s babies
Rock and holler in the crib
Left in care of
The hands of the older sib

Putting down her foot, going fast fast fast
Leave it all behind at last
Do what she can for
Cash

Putting down your foot, going fast fast fast
Leave it all behind at last
Do what you can for 
Cash money

You can live or die and delay
You can live or die and delay

Putting down your foot, going fast fast fast
Leave it all behind at last
Do what you can for 
Cash

Putting down your foot, going fast fast fast
Leave it all behind at last
Do what you can for cash

You can live or die and delay

From Ashes and Dreams' 2017 album, Havana.

Jambalaya, he got the secret
Super flavour, so beautifully fragrant
Steamy steaming in mama's old crock pot

Baby, give it to me
That recipe
Come on, give it to me
That recipe
He said just let it marinate

Smoky sausage gonna give you a bang, baby
Tasty tomatoes gonna give you that tang
​What do you do to that voodoo savoury stew, ooh!

Baby give it to me
That recipe
Come on, give it to me
That recipe
He said just let it marinate​

(Let me have just a little bit, and he said...)
​Touch that lid and I'll be swatting your hand back
Don't need to know all that I put into my jam
You like it spicy, then pass me the cayenne

Baby give it to me
That recipe
(Give it up now, boy
Come on, give it to me)
That recipe
He says you gotta let it marinate​

​Good things come to those who wait

Let it Marinate (Voodoo Stew Mix)

It's an old schoolyard trick
Standing with your back against the brick
With a roving eye
To watch the rocks and sticks

Ain't no point in stressing out
Making yourself sick

Hang low, oh
Hang low, oh
Hang low!

The ice will melt soon
Caterpillars spring from their cocoon
Trees feel it in the air
They're gonna get a chance to bloom

It's okay to hibernate
And work on your tune 
​
Hang low, oh
Hang low, oh
Hang low!

Everything happens in its time
Everything happens in its time
​
​The ice will melt soon
The ice will melt soon, soon, soon

Hang low, oh
Hang low, oh
Hang low, low, low​

​Everything happens in its time
Everything happens in its time​

Like a javelin travelling the deep night
You sunk it in, though I had it airtight

Someone get a tourniquet
Love bullet

​Jerking side to side, jumping over graves
Of a lover's pride and your past mistakes

Love bullet
God, I'm hit
All my defences quit
Love bullet​

​You made it through this skin impenetrable
Heavy forces rolling in so tidal​

Ashes and Dreams teams up with UK artist Mr Agabiou to create new track "Finger in the Icing" (2019)

Visit Mr Agabiou on Soundcloud at @mr_agabiou

Lyrics:
Swiping your finger in the icing

Mama said don’t touch
Til your dinner is done
Feel the pool rise up
Under your tongue
Patience is never fun

So you side-eyed her
Rounding the corner
Dug your finger in
Smoothing the rim
Tasting the flower of sin

It looks so good
It looks so sweet
Calling to you
Calling to you
Swiping your finger in the icing

It looks so good
It looks so sweet
What do you do
What do you do
Swiping your finger in the icing

Though he licked his finger clean
There was still a trace of cream

Naughty boys don’t get no cake
Boy, you’re making a mistake

Mama’s boy been caught
Having a buttercream dream
Mama ain’t no fool
Keeping her cool
Your day of reckoning

Mama worked all day
To put on this display
And when she served it out
To the big crowd
You got an empty plate

Lyrics: 
Running
Running
Ninety-six thousand hours since you've been living your days
Never a moment has passed that I don't worry about your fate
And it pains me so to see you hurt
As I drop you off to school, head to work, for the pay

Come on tell me
How does a mama shade
When her baby's
Running with renegades

Come on tell me
How does a mama shade
When her baby's
Running with renegades

Five hundred arrows deflected 'cause mama's soldier is brave
Wandering the halls like a shadow, facing it all with a grace
And when behind your eyes, I see the gray
From too many sticks and stones, broken bones, you gotta face

Come on tell me
How does a mama shade
When her baby's
Running with renegades

Come on tell me
How does a mama shade
When her baby's
Running with renegades
Ba da da da dah

Come on tell me
How does a mama shade
When her baby's
Running with renegades

Come on tell me
How does a mama shade
When her baby's
Running with renegades

Running With Renegades

Ashes and Dreams - Running With Renegades

From the unreleased vault of Ashes and Dreams, it's Strange Biology (cue the Frankenstein music)!
Something new for our lovely listeners during a crazy time.

Lyrics:
It's obvious that this love affair's imaginary
But like a New Year's vow surfacing in January
He won't stay down, down, down, down
Got no way to purge the urge
It just keeps creeping around my brain 

Don't it let you, get you down
Don't it let you, get you down, down
It's a simple plea

Don't it let you, get you down
Don't it let you, get you down, down
This is some strange, strange biology

You'll have to go and ring the local constabulary
'Cause closure is a word that ain't in my vocabulary
Like a dog with a bone, I can't let go, no, no matter how hard I try
You don't go away - not tomorrow, today

Don't it let you, get you down
Don't it let you, get you down, down
This is my simple plea

Don't it let you, get you down
Don't it let you, get you down, down
You got some strange, some strange biology

Sometimes you got to, sometimes you got to let it out
Ahhhhhh!!!
Sometimes you got to, sometimes you got to let it out
Yeah, yeah
Sometimes you got to, sometimes you got to scream and shout 

Don't it let you, get you down
Don't it let you, get you down, down
This is my simple plea

Don't it let you, get you down
Don't it let you, get you down, down
You got some strange, strange

Don't it let you, get you down
Don't it let you, get you down, down
This is my simple plea

Don't don't don't don't don't don't don't
Don't it let you, get you down, down
You got some strange, strange biology

Written by Lisa Saunders (SOCAN) and Liv Mircea (PRS for Music).

A song from a couple of wayward gypsies.
The open road is where we belong. 

Lyrics:
See them draw their guns
In precaution
Children of the wind
Here it comes

The next breeze
Will set us free
And take us home

Change is in the air
We can feel
We can feel

We can feel it come
The open road is where we belong
I guess it is time to move on
The open road is where we belong
We belong

Roma
Roma
Roma
Roma

Packing up the old
Horse and buggy
Pile the babies in
Make 'em snug

We're on our way
To better days
It's in the wind

Change is in the air
We can feel
We can feel

We can feel it come
The open road is where we belong
I guess it is time to move on
The open road is where we belong
We belong

Roma
Roma
Roma
Roma

Children of the wind
Children of the wind
Children of the wind
Children of the wind

Children of the Wind

Ashes and Dreams - Children Of The Wind

Do we really need another song?
Hmmm....
Our collective light will always outshine the darkness…even if the margin is just one song. So yes, keep writing. Keep singing. Keep creating, friends!

Lyrics:
Do we really need another song
To rely on
Do we really need another dream
To give us hope

A bird singing its tune with sheet music lining its cage

Still gonna belt the melody 
Across the neighbourhood
Using our voice
Given a choice

Come on and belt the melody 
Across the neighbourhood
Using our voice
Given a choice

Got two feet
Got two legs
Got that rhythm in my bones

Dream that dream
Nix those negs
Hope that hope you never know
Oooh!

Disney princesses and Cowell kings
You do your thing
Basement jammers and the indie scene
 That’s my clan

A chord sending a chill, the sweet music of a new age

So let’s just belt the melody 
Across the neighbourhood
Using our voice
Given a choice

Come on and belt the melody 
Across the neighbourhood
Using our voice
Given a choice

Got two feet
Got two legs
Got that rhythm in my bones

Dream that dream
Nix those negs
Hope that hope you never know
Oooh!

You gotta hope that hope

[Liv Mircea (PRS for Music), Lisa Saunders (SOCAN), 2020]

Ashes And Dreams - Hope That Hope [Free Download]

A song about the power of a medical diagnosis - having a name for your condition, even if the condition is not visible.

Twisting in my rib you
Hide amongst the sinew
Riding up my veins
Cutting through the pathways

Razor sharp when I touch you
These invisible wounds
The demon runs deep
Spilling blood that can’t be seen
 
To have a name
Just to know that I’m not crazy
Could somehow give me back my power
Give it all back to me

Searched you in the books, yeah
Suffered through the strange looks
I’ll scour your trail
Til I’m breathing down your tail

Tricky Rumpelstiltskin
Prancing round his fire
Your ego will speak
You just can’t help yourself

To have a name
Just to know that I’m not crazy
Could somehow give me back my power
Summon it back to me

The birds will sing the answer
A stray dog gives comfort
It echoes in my brain
As the world just slips away

Now that I’ve found you
In the worst stage
I'll rally up the troops
To launch this mortal siege

To have a name
Just to know that I’m not crazy
Somehow gives me back my power
Summons it back to me

And I will fight
To have a name

From 9/11 to
Area 51
What's fake and real

Apollo 11
To Soros's billions
We know the deal

At the end point of the day
The truth may not be what it seems
Let the conspiracy theorists have their say
The truth is somewhere in between

Conspiracies
Conspiracies
Conspiracies
Conspiracies

From Covid-19 to
MH-370 
We're not buying in

The trust fund kids
On top of the pyramid
Power puppets

At the end point of the day
The truth may not be what it seems
Let the conspiracy theorists have their say
The truth is somewhere in between

Conspiracies
Conspiracies
Conspiracies
Conspiracies

Yeah, we're on 4chan 
Making our great plans
For a revolution

Below the radar 
They won't look too hard
For our tinhat solution

At the end point of the day
The truth may not be what it seems
Let the conspiracy theorists have their say
The truth is somewhere in between

Conspiracies
Conspiracies
Conspiracies
Conspiracies

The story of an eternal love with exceptionally bad timing. 

Lyrics:
The first time they met
Amid the flash of blinding lights
She couldn't look away
From the Jesus in his eyes

I know this really sounds strange
but there's just something drawing me in
Your forcefield captivates
As the crowd looks down

Our love
Is the heat fueling the sun
Is as deep as the sea of Acheron

The next time they connected
He put his hand upon her arm
And with a quiet breath
She said, i can't be doing harm

You know I'm wrapped up tight
And it's not fair to do that to him
And though it feels so right
It's the wrong time for 

Our love
Is the heat fueling the sun
Is as deep as the sea of Acheron
Will endure when we're both gone
Goes from this mortal coil and beyond

The third time they met
He said you have a choice to make
Its either me or him
So don't you make a big mistake

Will you let it die here
A chance like this comes once in a life
And we won't see it again
So don't forsake

Our love
Is the heat fueling the sun
Is as deep as the sea of Acheron
Will endure when we're both gone
Goes from this mortal coil and beyond

Our Love

Another year gone and what's become of this
So many plans we made on New Years Day
It seems those 365
Days just went sideways

Another year gone and what's become of us
A little more fear and a little less trust
That the good in this whole big bad world
Has simply bitten the dust

Happy Happy Christmas
Happy Happy Christmas
Happy Happy Christmas
Another new year

Another year gone and no one can agree
On how to speak with a little dignity
It seems in these 365
Days we went crazy

Happy Happy Christmas
Happy Happy Christmas
Happy Happy Christmas
Another new year

New winter chill music from Canada | UK artists, Ashes and Dreams.
Lyrics:

At Kilcona Park staring down the snowy hill
Another rider starts veering to the ice mogul
Off he goes flying in the air landing with a bruise
Off he goes laughing with no care as his toque springs loose
Off he goes climbing up the stair with snow in his shoes

Oh, the games we play
Patterns on display

Don’t worry baby
It will come round once again
Like a mobius strip
That repeats til you
Learn the secret
What you’re here to learn
Life’s a mobius strip
Choose your circle

Miss chickadee cheeps waving on a broken reed
Wind carries him to a hidden trail in the back country

Off he goes away from his friends and his safety net
Off he goes belly on his sled with his cheeks all red
Off he goes like a speeding jet flying up to planet zed

Oh these games we play
Codes we need to break

Don’t worry baby
It will come round once again
Like a mobius strip
That repeats til you
Learn the secret
What you’re here to learn
Life’s a mobius strip
Choose your circle
