Love the harp and of course, as always, your voice.

Great songwriting, excellent vocals, very fitting instrumentation and arrangement. Thumbs up!

The longing and aching of troublesome human relationships,all captured so perfectly in this fine composition. You guys rock!

Ashes for Dreams

"brown"

some people used to mock me
and push me around
kick me and shove me 
for being too brown
I wanted to see them drown

I wondered why they'd call me wet back
but spit in my face
scream and insult me
over something like race
they were a fvcking disgrace

last year at a festival
some guy got in my face
told me I should go home
go back to the Middle East
I just kept drinking in peace

I'm hardly
I'm hardly
I'm hardly the only one
I'm hardly the only one

brown

New Norms

Ten hours and counting 
Till I see your sweet face
But will I feel your embrace?
Does the break mean we’re broken 
With no hope of repair 
Will anger linger in the air?

Have we gone too far
To find a way back?
We can’t change the past 
But the future’s for the taking if we ask 

Is the pill too bitter 
Is the truth too hard to hear?
I owe you honesty
I want you badly
I’ll love you to the end 
But I won’t lie I won’t pretend 

Have we gone too far
To find a way back?
We can’t change the past 
But the future’s for the taking if we ask 

Eyes on the prize 
What do you want from me
Take me as I am
I’m yours tonight 

Have we gone too far
To find a way back?
We can’t change the past 
But the future’s for the taking if we ask

JANADAWN Rules ESP Dragons [Part A]

Down and out but won give up? whatś a body to do?

How About It

It’ll take time, maybe it should 
I’d own your pain if I could
You’d do the same I know you would
There’s no right way to feel the hurt 
You’ll find your path, you’re not the first 
To think it’s something you deserve 

Give yourself a break
Let me give while you take, darlin' please

Lower your shoulders 
I meant what I told you 
Just let me hold you 
And sweep all your demons away 
I’m brave and I’m bold
And your life will unfold 
If you trust me to hold you 
And sweep all your demons away 

I saw you standing to the side 
Like you had something to hide 
And I was mesmerised 
I’m not sure why I’m drawn to you 
You seem so closed, but open too 
It’s in your eyes I see your truth 

Let your feelings out 
In a whisper or a shout, darlin' please

Lower your shoulders 
I meant what I told you 
Just let me hold you 
And sweep all your demons away 
I’m brave and I’m bold
And your life will unfold 
If you trust me to hold you 
And sweep all your demons away 

There’s no healing without feeling 
However pleasing to box away the pain 
Escape takes many shapes
But when you return the loss remains 

Lower your shoulders 
I meant what I told you 
Just let me hold you 
And sweep all your demons away 
I’m brave and I’m bold
And your life will unfold 
If you trust me to hold you 
And sweep all your demons away

Lower Your Shoulders

So disappointed
I wanted so much more
So disjointed
As I sink down to the floor
I’m reeling, I thought you were the one
But I see now, what's over hadn't ever begun

Such confusion
You said you'd be there till the end
But you used me and now you want to be my friend
I’m reeling - I don’t understand you
But I see now, you’re not the person
I thought I knew

I feel the heat but I don’t see the flame
The beat is new, but the dance is the same
Your lips are moving
But you don’t say my name
I see you
But I don’t even make your frame

Just an illusion
So strong that I believed
Feeling bruised now
Maligned and deceived
I'm reeling, I thought you’d set me free
But I see now, you made a promise you could never keep

I feel the heat but I don’t see the flame
The beat is new, but the dance is the same
Your lips are moving
But you don’t say my name
I see you
But I don’t even make your frame

Time to realise
I’ve been telling myself lies
I still want you
But moving on’s the only thing to do

I feel the heat but I don’t see the flame
The beat is new, but the dance is the same
Your lips are moving
But you don’t say my name
I see you
But I don’t even make your frame

Feel The Heat

You remember somersaults
I remember falling
She remembers nothing
It felt like only days to you and years to me
And she remembers nothing

You remember finding me
A path I couldn't see
She remembers nothing
You were my voice
When I needed it most
And she remembers nothing

Every day you pray you'll find your way
As the end comes closer
I close my eyes in sweet denial
Don't think and it'll be over
You squeeze my hand to try and make me understand
This time, I'll hold her

You remember picking names
I wouldn't dare, I was too scared
And she remembers nothing
You felt excitement and joy
I blocked it all
And she remembers nothing

Every day you pray you'll find your way
As the end comes closer
I close my eyes in sweet denial
Don't think and it'll be over
You squeeze my hand to try and make me understand
This time, I'll hold her

Every stand taken was for her
Every wish granted
Every waking thought was of her
We wouldn't do it any other way but for her

Every day you pray you'll find your way
As the end comes closer
I close my eyes in sweet denial
Don't think and it'll be over
You squeeze my hand to try and make me understand
This time, I'll hold her

Somersaults

We’re not promised tomorrow
We need to live our lives right
I won’t barter or borrow
Our future for tonight

Never know what ahead of us
What lurks around the corner
Never know if our future
Is built on sand or mortar
I’m not wasting time, playing games
I won’t create a past, filled with shame

We’re not promised tomorrow
We need to live our lives right
I won’t barter or borrow
Our future for tonight

I don’t try to pretend
That I’m the greater person
I don’t judge, I don’t defend
I’m not better, I’m not worse
I don’t look at you like you failed
I’m not looking for souls to save

We’re not promised tomorrow
We need to live our lives right
I won’t barter or borrow
Our future for tonight

I won’t be paralysed
I have a goal and I’ll pursue it
And I am under no illusion
That I know best what to do
But I’ll proceed with a knowing air
No one knows what I choose not to share

Take your place, by my side
Don’t be scared, we’ll be fine
Don’t look left, don’t look right
Lock our dream in your sights

We’re not promised tomorrow
We need to live our lives right
I won’t barter or borrow
Our future for tonight

Sand or Mortar

Please don't speak for me
You don't know what I'm trying to say
Please don't try to feel my fear
Or wish it away
Don't pander or stand for me
Don't cry, don't you fight for me
The things that I hide
I don't want you to see

You're not me
You can't see
What I need to be free
Find yourself someone new
I'll do me, you do you

Please don't tell me what you think I want to hear
Please don't hide the truth to stop these tears
You think it's fine cos they're little white lies
They might be kind but they're still not right
So go, leave, shut the door
I don't want you here

You're not me
You can't see
What I need to be free
Find yourself someone new
I'll do me, you do you

Just because you want me doesn't mean that we'll succeed
I know you're convinced that we've got all we need
But it's not enough for me 
And I know deep down you see it

You're not me
You can't see
What I need to be free
Find yourself someone new
I'll do me, you do you

You Do You

Boson Spin - Possionsky

Voici un morceau fait en un trait aujourd'hui (peut être 2h30 de boulot tout au plus).. Je me suis levé avec une bonne migraine des familles et ça m'a énervé du coup vous en profitez.

C'est dans un style pas très habituel, souvent je fais des trucs légers.. Ben pas là :D

You'll find me also here in my collaboration project with Johan Alm https://soundcloud.com/ashesfordreams

Ashes for Dreams is the Irish/Swedish band project of Johan Alm (https://soundcloud.com/jambrains) and Karen O’Mahony (https://soundcloud.com/monnodb).

Both coming from completely different cultures and musical backgrounds - incorporating between them classical, traditional, folk and rock - they had each previously produced solo work vastly different to the other’s. 

Johan’s style is heavy rock with a unique and gritty vocal style and guitar work admired and envied by many. Karen’s natural home is more folk, which to their surprise works beautifully in a heavy rock setting. Together, they are a magical combination, particularly when they duet - their distinctive voices blending as if made for each other!
