Chill Vibes

Let It Ride

I like green eyes and butterflies what else is there to know.

Butterflies

Digging through the attic once more
Gotta figure out what I’m looking for
some old pictures of you and dad
Didn’t know the parents that I had
So blessed to be a lucky man
All because of you and dad

You told me to keep on fighting
But it ain’t like I ain’t trying
all these wounds keep me crying
sometimes it feels like I’m dying
I keep growing, and hoping that you’ll see
The type of man I’m trying to be
I’ll sure as hell keep on going
searching boxes endlessly
Oh, the things I keep on doing
for some peace and serenity

Digging through the attic once more
Gotta figure out what I’m looking for
some old pictures of you and dad
Didn’t know the parents that I had
So blessed to be a lucky man
All because of you and dad

You told me to keep on fighting
But it ain’t like I ain’t trying

Lucky Man

ever sit back and listen to the rain 
thinking this worlds so full of pain 
lost ones fighting to abstain 
darkness puts on such a strain 
Over and over, you try to obtain 
Release from chaos that drives you insane 
Thinking there’s no other way
you can make it through today

but it’s not impossible
please don’t give up
It’s so much to handle
I know you feel stuck
Saying nothing’s gonna change
That it’ll just stay the same
But that won’t release this pain
So just sit back and let it rain

*Bonus unused lyrics*

Ever just stand and tone it out 
Wondering what life is about 
your inner soul begins to shout 
mind overflown with constant doubt 
Feel so down you start to pout 
And tears pour just like a spout 
Thinking there’s no other way
you can make it through today
 
but it’s not impossible
please don’t give up
It’s so much to handle
I know you feel stuck
Saying nothing’s gonna change
That it’ll just stay the same
But that won’t release this pain
So just sit back and let it rain

Let It Rain

This is an acoustic version of a collab I did with Miami Jeff. We wrote the lyrics together. I sent him a demo of a song similar to this with just some guitar and the lyrics. He restructured the lyrics to flow better and added some of his own to it. He constructed a masterpiece with a full instrumental and vocal guide for me to follow. I was stuck on my own as well, Miami Jeff was cool with doing both, with this coming out as a reprise or alternative version. I hope you enjoy this one, and if you haven't heard the version on Miami Jeff's page, I highly recommend it. It has a very cool video, along with some awesome track art.


1)  THE BURNING LEAVES UPON THE GROUND,

     THE GRASS, THE TREES, OBSCURE THE SOUND,

     THIS FEELING OF IMPENDING DOOM,  

     SMOKE FROM THE ASHES HIDE THE MOON,

     REMEMBER WHEN OUR LOVE WAS NEW?

     NOW WHAT’S A THING LIKE ME TO DO?



          I’LL KEEP FLOATING THROUGH LIKE ROBOTS DO,

          EXPRESS NO LOVE, NO EMOTIONS TOO

          CLANKING AWAY WITH RUSTY PARTS, 

          LIKE THE TINMAN WITHOUT A HEART,        

          BUT DEEP DOWN INSIDE I CAN STILL RECALL,

          A SENSE OF WARMTH BEHIND THIS WALL,

          YOUR LOVELY FACE, YOUR EYES OF BLUE,

          FUNNY THE THINGS  ROBOTS DO?



2)  HIGHWAY HYPNOSIS HALF ASLEEP,

     THE TRUCKS, THE CARS, THE LINES THAT CREEP,

     I’M FEELING DROWSY, PASSING OUT,

     HORNS HONKING WILDLY AWAKE THE DOUBT,

     WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LOVE WE KNEW?

     NOW WHAT’S A THING LIKE ME TO DO?

          

          I’LL KEEP FLOATING THROUGH LIKE ROBOTS DO,

          EXPRESS NO LOVE, NO EMOTION TOO

          CLANKING AWAY WITH RUSTY PARTS, 

          LIKE THE TINMAN WITHOUT A HEART,        

          BUT DEEP INSIDE I CAN STILL RECALL,

          A SENSE OF WARMTH BEHIND THIS WALL,

          YOUR LOVELY FACE, YOUR EYES OF BLUE,

          FUNNY THE THINGS ROBOTS DO,

Night Flight Over Tokyo

東京上空の夜間飛行   (Arta Rad, John Stone)

Beats: Arta Rad
https://linktr.ee/artaradLyrics, 

Vocals:John Stone

Night Flight over Tokyo
Looking down on the lights below
Is she waiting? I don’t know

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh,  I’m over

Looking out into  the night
Blinded by the blaze of light
Second chance on second sight
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh …  I’m over 
I’m over Tokyo 
Oh,   I’m over
I’m over Tokyo
Oh…

The crew prepares the plane to land
Im guessing they won’t understand
They only see a businessman
Thinking ‘bout his business plan
They won’t see the damaged heart
Looking for a second start
Night flight over Tokyo Oh…

She never did return my call
She probably won’t be there at all
I’ll take another flight and go
Oh…

There are things you shouldn’t say
I said them when I left that day
Too quick to let my anger show
Regret that followed came too slow
Perhaps I’ll turn around and go
Get over, Get over Tokyo
I’m over 
I’m over Tokyo
Oh Oh Oh
I’m over

Reflections of Mind (G. Di Nunno)

Stare down from these hills and then catch a breath
The tension past and present bind a knot
Ran the gauntlet out with these wounds as debt
While trying to hang on with all I've got.
Tired of all
Demands on time
Social cliques
Status lines
Reflections of mind.

My days grow short there's so much waste
That angst has bloomed with pending haste
In traffic stuck and always a line
All of this weighs on my flying time
So much to do
Surprise to learn
Lighting a fuse
Watch it all burn
Reflections of mind.

Signs with some pointing
Whom are you joining?
Money the new god
The public applauds!

Refuse to suffer
A tempting offer
I feel it open
Without suspension.

What's it all mean? I've passed the years
Lost in a fog that never clears
Oddest thing is I made it so hard
Hit re-set, and then fire the guard.

#3. Reflections Of Mind

Runaway

Music  Alfredo Salvatori, Lyrics John Stone
Guitars, Bass, Drums Alfredo Salvatori
Vocal , Piano John Stone
Produced by Alfredo Salvatori

She was born in a town on the border,
Raised for the fourth of July,
She knew within  
She didn’t  fit in
Don't know why.

She didn’t go looking for trouble,
But trouble was always round,
It was always the same,
No-one to blame
Was what she always found.

Runaway and maybe you’ll find somewhere, a place,
A place to stay and feel that  you’re safe in your own space.

She moved to a part of the country,
That soon didn’t want her around,
It wasn’t long before she’s moving on
Southern-bound, from town to town to town.

Met a young man by the roadside,
She just couldn’t run anymore,
He listened to all that she said
That no-one ever listened to before.

Runaway and maybe you’ll find somewhere, a place,
A place to stay and feel that you’re safe in your own space,
But if the demons that you are running from are strong,
Then in your head you’ll find that they’ll follow on and on.

She thought about all he had shown her,
And sensing her journey’s end,
She realised the safest place
Is where you finally find a friend.

So don’t runaway and maybe you’ll find somewhere, a place,
A place to stay and feel that  you’re safe in your own space.

Runaway (Alfredo Salvatori + John Stone)

Wanted to do something country, tried to sing it in a country style, just didn't work well, sang it like this and liked it, this is like the 3rd recording and it came out the best, just kind of got lost in the moment. A couple screw ups, did you notice? haha. Anyway, hope you enjoy! 

Lyrics:
Did you notice the flowers
They withered away
Did you notice the hours
I put in today

I bet you’re not happy
Can tell by the way
That look on your face
Puts more on my plate

I’m Drowning in the moment no amount of air
Can breathe life into this troubled man’s affairs

I’m not going anywhere
It’s better if I stay
I’m not going anywhere
Just chipping away

Did you notice these sad eyes
Take a look inside
To break the disguise
You know what you’ll find

I bet you’re not sorry
Can tell by the way
That grin on your face
You know what I’ll say

Did You Notice

Just did this more for fun than anything. Came up with the guitar part first on this one, and then just wrote some lyrics to go with it. Recorded the guitar, then vocals, then added a little bit of drum. It's nothing serious, just for fun, as usual.

Lyrics:

Can you feel it
Tell me can you feel it
lets repeat it
Tell me did you see it
Hold that feeling
Hope it’s never ending

Just hold on, don’t let go
These are the feelings that we know
Just beyond, the mountain top
The burning sun begins to drop
And I don’t want to go home
Cuz I don’t want to be alone
And I don’t want to go home
Cuz I don’t want to be alone

Can you feel it
Tell me can you feel it
lets repeat it
Tell me did you see it
Hold that feeling
Hope it’s never ending

Can feel you, where I go
Why’d you have to make it snow
Just below, the thunderous clouds
Like my tears rain’s flowing out
And I don’t want to go home
Cuz I don’t want to be alone
And I don’t want to go home
Cuz I don’t want to be alone

Can you feel it
Tell me can you feel it
lets repeat it
Tell me did you see it
Hold that feeling
Hope it’s never ending

I Don't Wanna Be Alone

Really wanted to have a strong emotional guitar, so I a found a couple chords I liked and did some finger picking trying to emphasize the base note. I listened over and over once I had got the sound out of the guitar I wanted and tried to fit lyrics in that would give it a unique and relaxing sound. Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:

Open your eyes
See the darker sides
Of me

Don’t be afraid
I won’t bite
Today

But if you need
Something from me
I would give it to you

Because
You’re just
So Beautiful

My brain Can’t
Comprehend this
I don’t know if
I can’t stand this

Pain
So much pain


Pain
So much pain
I can’t refrain
Close your eyes
See the brighter sides
Of us

I know I can
Cause fear
But please 
I need you near

But if you need
To run from me
I would understand

Because 
You’re Just
So Fragile

My Mind Can’t
Contain this
I just know that 
We should end this

Pain
So much pain
Pain
So much pain
I can’t refrain

So Much Pain

Jake came to us a few weeks ago with this awesome bass line and we decided to do something with it. We see what's going on in the world and sadly what has crept into some churches. That's where the line "plead anointing without reverence", comes from. Only God knows the hour of Christs return. Matthew 24. We believe were seeing the birth pains. Regardless we need to continue to spread the gospel preparing Gods people for His return.
Verse 1
Troubled soul, eyes wide open
Come out of your grief. 
Sins grip on the world,
has blinded its people.
Tag
What shall be done?
His will be done
What shall be done?
His will be done
Chorus
Age of grace at its severance
Remnants left surveying damage
Plead anointing without reverence
End of Days
Verse 2
The Word is out, hear His voice
Some will answer
Turning to You, they know Your cry
Give sight to the people
Repeat tag and chorus
Bridge
Preach the warning
This Day comes to a close
Increase love for Christ a hatred for sin
Repeat Chorus

End of Days

This track is from 2018...

All the graves are in the backyard
And people move on there’s no doubt
Now I see the changing of the guard
Separate pathways a different route

No need to wave flags in the air
The stars won’t see them anyway
I sometimes just look up and stare
Still the same sky different day

And it's full speed into the light years
Shift through all the tired dreams
There’s a new moon on the mountain
If I can fly this old machine

Take a bus to New York City 
And see your face in every mile
This old Trailways is a pity
It can run but it can’t fly

And it's full speed into the light years
Shift through all the tired dreams
There’s a new moon on the mountain
If I can fly this old machine

Light Years

Me [Full album] free download

When the raging fire starts to rest
And the embers take their final breath
The pit still smoking in the air
Nothing left but ash and despair
You feel it deep within your bones
Cold sets in and you dream of home
All that’s left is to endure
Pain you feel has no cure

Cuz these self-inflicted wounds
You could stack em to the moon
And the people that you’ve loved
Well, they said they’ve had enough
And now you’re on your own
Guess it’s time to learn to be
Alone

For all Summer

I work as a nurse in the state of Florida and I love being there for people in need. My other true passion is making music. I'm kind of an amateur but I look forward to getting better and making the best music I can.

Most the songs I do in about a day and then move on. I don't have the skill to make them radio quality yet, but I hope with collaborating with others and making my own music I will learn some skills along the way. I don't focus on perfection, I focus on emotion and try to put feeling into my music.

Also, I love to get lost in other peoples work, I will often play video games while listening to a bunch of someone else's works and commenting on the ones I like the most, not all though, don't wanna seem like a stalker, unless you like that of course.

Been feeling a little burnt out lately, so if I'm not responsive please don't take it personal. Having to work OT to keep the family afloat, so I haven't had time for music and when I do have any time I'm just too exhausted. I definitely want to make more it brings me a lot of joy to make music. At the same time it is very taxing, reaching into the depths can sometimes cause unwanted feelings to linger longer than they should. Anyway, I love all the support you have all sent my way. See ya around!
