Super song - great performance!  Haunting and enchanting.

Very earthy, but with a touch of soul music. What's that? World Soul. Haha! Great use of different instruments, very strong vocals. Like it very much.

Que gran voz, es un tema para para irse y despreocuparse de todo.

Good songwriting and very nice slide guitars

LYRICS:

years go by she’s never changed
and she wonders why things end the same 
telling her self that same old lie
a self deception allabi 

but she’s gonna pay, for playing those games, 
to stuck in her ways. too blind to see
it’s just fueling the flame 
shifting the blame, and one day she’ll break
 There’s no stopping this train


and one day she’ll wake up and realize that she’s all alone 
and all the excuses she makes up are nobodies fault but her own 
oh all of these walls that she’s built up will fall
and all of these lies that she lives by will rise to the surface and hault this train 

but she’s gonna pay, for playing those games, 
to stuck in her ways. too blind to see
it’s just fueling the flame 
shifting the blame, and one day she’ll break
Until then
There’s no stopping this train

NO STOPPING THIS TRAIN

COVID almost took me away, here are some thoughts about how it feels that you´re dying and find out that it´s not time to go yet

POET OF SILENCE

Thought I had a one-way ticket
On the train to nowhere
Thought I was on a farewell trip
Or was I in my ending dream
Ending dream
Saw the shadow of my soul
Getting into bright light
Saw my folks telling me I missed the train
But it´s ok
It´s not the time to go, though my mirror is cracked

My fever is gone, am I still here?
Can´t feel no fear, must be ready to go
To go

I ain´t sure if I still love
Neither if I still hate
But it seems that it isn´t time to leave
To meet the Poet of Silence

I missed the train to nowhere
As I listened to your silence
I still have some poems to sing

Before I meet the Poet of Silence

Thought I had that one-way ticket
On the train to nowhere
Thought I was on my farewell trip
That I was in my ending dream
Ending dream
Saw the shadow of my soul
Going to bright light

Saw my folks telling me to miss the train
It´s ok
It´s not the time to go, though my mirror is smashed
Yeah is smashed

I ain´t sure if I will love
I ain´t sure I will hate
But it isn´t my time to go
To meet the Poet of Silence
And listen to your silence
Silence, silence, silence

California

I’m going to California
Where the sun shines every day
Where the sundowner winds
Caress the highways

Going to California
And watch the stars at play
Collect their autographs
Tour those cenotaphs

Cali loves you
The land is green
The sky is blue
But everyone takes a piece of you now

Living in California
In this cult of personality
Wide awake and dreaming
Venice beach sand is gleaming

I’m living in California
Where the sun shines every day
Where the Santa Anna Wind
Burns what’s left of me away?

California, I love you
The land is so green
The sky is so blue
But Road goes on forever and ever

California
Oh land so green
Sky is so blue
Everybody tales a piece of you now

The acoustic version of our Song THE SONG YOU WROTE :)

The Song You Wrote (Acoustic)

The Hill - Robert Grigg & Combstead

Mood Modulator

I was once in a bar at Sundance Film Festival and Harvey Weinstein made an entrance, having just bought a (terrible) film for millions of dollars. You could see everyone in the room change their persona, reacting to the presence of the big man. Who wouldn't think they could get away with anything if they had that sway over people. I imagine this song as the inner theme for privileged plonkers of his ilk.

SOME CRIMES

put your shoulders down
and just keep your head up high
now just take a look around
look the world
Look it in the eye…

there’s nothing you can’t say 
and there’s nothing you can’t do
there’s no miscommunication
its not misleading
when you can read the room…

now your confidence is growing
here’s no way it isn’t showing
there’s only one way this is going

tell you something boy, it’s yours for free
you know it’s yours for free

Is that something in your pocket is that 
Nothing in your mind
and there’s nothing you can’t take 
Cos you’ve been taking
Everything you find

there’s no need for compensation
leave your credit on your card
there’s no misleading information 
this isn’t faking, this is who you are…

something special and you know it 
there’s no way that you could blow it 
Ooh, You cross the line and we’re below it

tell you something boy, it’s all for free
It’s yours for free…

cos sometimes some crimes don’t fly
they just don’t fly…

oh
there’s no sign it’s ever slowing (down)
you’ve grown an aura and it’s glowing now
there’s no way its ever changing cos
you write the rules when you’re engaging…

tell you something Brett,
tell you something Harvey
tell you something Bill, it’s all for free

It’s yours for free…

don’t listen to those jokers
hold your focus 
now you’re home and free!

for the silver tongues
and golden rungs
you know this one
is yours for free…
it’s all for free….

Yours for Free

A song about being young, naïve and in love!

LYRICS:

You were born to a tired union
Given blessings and a false communion
So you were ready for a cruel and brutal world

Found a life in a hidden graveyard
Spent the night with a living saviour
Snuck away in the early morning cold

This clueless love is a foolish undertaking
And we're fools to believe in the word that we speak

Your blue-green eyes are full of hope and wonder
So we fool ourselves for one more week

This clueless love has made fool of us
We're gonna try to make the best of an awkward situation
Gonna need some imagination

Clueless Love

Cœur en papier

“Every person must choose how much truth he can stand”, said Irvin Yalom, American writer and psychiatrist. “Self-awareness is a supreme gift, a treasure as precious as life. This is what makes us human. But it comes with a costly price: the wound of mortality.” Inspired by Yalom’s book ‘Staring at the sun’ British poet HanJan (@hanjan) wrote the poem Ripples.

I wrote music to these words and asked Texan vocalist Faerytale (@faerytale aka Lisa West) to sing them. Lisa never stops to amaze me. With her musical talent, and her warm and compassionate personality. For a reason she writes and sings personal songs for very sick people and people who lost a loved one, to give them a sense of peace and love in their most vulnerable moments.

RIPPLES
When we are dead
And nestled under the ground
Or scattered over favourite seas
And special places
The mountain will say nothing
The trees will not moan
And the river will be moving slowly
For someone else.
All that you know
All the thoughts you have owned
Will pass into nothing.
Only your vacated body
Will provide sacred compost
For those that inherit the earth.
And only those things you created
In the minds of your children,
In the people you touch,
In the art you leave behind,
Will show you have been here
And that you loved.

We are the stones that sink when flung into this still lake.
If we give our living plummeting momentum
Let velocity and passion hurl us forwards
Without restraint
It may be that our ripples will reach from bank to bank
To be felt by those we never touched: 
Through the blaze of our own comet tail light across their heaven.
