La vita è un attimo" parla della bellezza e della brevità della vita, invitandoci a vivere ogni momento con gratitudine. Utilizza immagini come il calore del sole e l'amore di una madre per sottolineare che ogni attimo è prezioso. Ripetendo che "la vita è solo un attimo", ci ricorda di apprezzare le piccole gioie quotidiane e di trovare bellezza nelle esperienze semplici. In sostanza, ci esorta a vivere intensamente e con poesia.

La vita è solo un attimo 

La vita è un attimo, un soffio di vento,  
É la pace di un éremo, dal vento sospinto,  
un raggio di sole che scalda il mattino,  
É l’amore di una donna, con un figlio in seno

Nella melodia delle foglie, nel canto del mare,  
Storie da vivere, ci sono storie da amare,  
Il battito di un ciglio, un battito d’ali,  
la bellezza si mostra, con giusti segnali.

La vita è solo un attimo,  Veloce sfugge via,  
La vita è solo un attimo, un'eco di felicità.  
La vita è solo un attimo, non lasciarlo andar via,  
la vita è solo un attimo, vivilo con poesia.
……………………………………

Un caffè condiviso, un sorriso di un amore,  
un tramonto che incendia il cielo, che scalda il cuore,  
la vita scorre veloce, fugge in un solo attimo 
ma ogni secondo vissuto è un dono legittimo .

Non lasciamo che il tempo ci sfugga di mano,  
Nuotiamo  il presente, come fosse un oceano,  
perché ogni attimo è un amore da custodire,  
la vita è bella, e vale la pena di vivere.

La vita è solo un attimo, Veloce sfugge via,  
La vita è solo un attimo, un'eco di felicità.  
La vita è solo un attimo , non lasciarlo andar via,  
la vita è solo un attimo, vivilo con poesia.

E mentre il tempo scivola velocemente ,  
impariamo a custodirlo nella nostra mente,  
le piccole cose, i sogni nel cassetto,  
la vita è un attimo, ma è un attimo perfetto.

La vita è solo un attimo

Voglio lei e soltanto lei

Tutti mi dicono che posso trovare mille donne come lei. 
Altri invece che non era assolutamente adatta a me. 
Che devo farmene semplicemente una ragione. 
Che devo uscire in fretta da questa dannata e triste prigione. 

Ma io voglio lei e solo lei. 
Nessuno sembra  capire. 
Che io voglio solo lei e soltanto lei. 
Nessuno sembra che voglia ascoltare. 

Ha sbagliato lo so. É stata brava a farmi innamorare e anche a ferire. 
Ma sono pazzo di lei e sono pronto ad abbracciarla e a perdonare. 
Perché l’amore grande come il mio non ha rimorsi. Non ha confini. 
É riuscire a volare insieme attaccandoci a centinaia, migliaia di palloncini

Ed io voglio lei. Lei e soltanto lei. 
Nessuno sembra  possa capire
Che io voglio solo lei e soltanto lei
Nessuno sembra che voglia ascoltare
………………………..

Uno, cento, mille amori non valgono quanto possa amare 
E la mia priorità adesso è solo pensare e insistere a provare. 
Tutti mi dicono che sono pronte altre donne per me. Non me la date a bere. 
E non ditemi, vi prego, cosa dire o cosa o non posso fare. 

La felicità è trovarla nel cuore di chi si vuole bene. 
La cercherò in fondo anche a rischio di farmi male 
Insisterò anche se dovessi togliere il sale dal mare. 
Perché il mio scopo é poterla amare. 

Io amo lei. Lei e soltanto lei. 
Nessuno sembra  possa capire
Che io amo lei, solo lei e soltanto lei
Nessuno sembra che voglia ascoltare
Che amo lei. 
solo e soltanto lei.

Voglio lei e soltanto lei

Ritual

First, they charm you, promise you a rose garden, a castle in the sky. You stumble, you fall. The breakdown begins: gaslighting, fear-mongering, isolation, abuse. And the beating. You know you should run. But you're alone, afraid dependent, and torn. Not everyone gets away. But this one did.

About the Song

"Water to Wine" is a song about the appeal of perfection we often see online, contrasted with the seemingly unremarkable and ordinary lives that most of us lead. It’s a reflection on the emotional toll that comes from chasing validation through likes and follower counts— and the emptiness that can follow when the spotlight fades.

Our value, though, goes far deeper than what shows up on a screen and authenticity holds more power than appearances. Take a deep breath and if we look up from the scroll and take a brave look at the world — and each other — we might find something much more real!

Behind the Song (from Goff Johnson)

Ironically, while the message of the track talks about isolation and the cost of surface-level connection, the making of Water to Wine was the exact opposite of that! It came to life through collaboration with the incredibly talented Todd J McLean, who, in addition to his awesome vocals, and red-hot music connections, also created the cover art (Woman in Yellow Chair) for the track! The overall result is something far richer than either of us could have created alone.

Working together brought depth, direction, and new energy to the song — proof that the best things happen when we connect for real. No filters, just music, shared purpose, and mutual trust!

Final Notes (from Todd)

This is my first collaboration on SoundCloud. I could not have been more fortunate than to work with Goff Johnson, an immensely talented singer/songwriter/musician. When I first came across Goff, I listened to his entire Stories of Stardust album end-to-end .

Although Water to Wine is not part of Goff’s Stardust series, it is nonetheless a beautifully written song and it’s been a privilege for me to sing it. Besides, I love to sing the Blues. Thank you so much, Goff!

We owe a huge shout-out to both Kat Hendrix, a master musician and our producer, and Tim Porter, a virtuoso on guitar. It is a real privilege to work with these West coast legends.

Lyrics:

Verse 1
Someone wrote a playbook for perfection 
with lives of photo ops, their outtakes seldom seen 
today a star, the next you’re a pariah 
“Be Kind” they say, but that ain’t what they mean 
 
Chorus: 
Well I never watched the water turn to wine, 
and i never took a flower out of the desert, 
but i walked until my feet bled, and I looked until I was blind, 
and I reached out for a hand to hold in mine 
 
Verse 2 
Well there’s nothing quite as quiet as “the silence” 
after fame has passed, so flashbulb fast, away 
and i wonder if it really makes a difference 
cos the next in line wait for their time, to shine but not to stay”

Chorus: 
Well I never watched the water turn to wine, 
and i never took a flower out of the desert, 
but i walked until my feet bled, and I looked until I was blind, 
and I reached out for a hand to hold in mine

Water To Wine

“I Still Play” is a personal piece from me, Krissie. I used to perform with a sax in my hands and a dream in my chest.. until life took a bite out of both. Illness changed everything, but it didn’t end my journey, it just sent me down a different road.

This song is for anyone who's had their plans shattered and their voice shaken. You don’t have to quit, just pivot.
Your path may shift, but the music?
It can still be yours. 🎷🖤✨

If you’re curious what that earlier road sounded like, here’s a raw live take from the rehearsal room days, no polish, just pure breath and instinct:
👉Listen to the live take here: https://soundcloud.com/krazy-krissie/unscripted-breath-live-rehearsal-room-take

****Lyrics****

It started with a sax and a secondhand smile
Ten years deep in a dream we made worthwhile
Just friends and songs under birthday lights
No fame, just fire on those Saturday nights
I had a voice behind the sound
Helping others rise while I held the ground

But life don’t ask, it just arrives
A whisper first, then it rewrites lives
I woke up one day, and my body said no
To every rhythm I used to know
Now I create from a different place
And write through pain I can’t erase

But I still play, just in a different way
I build the world where someone else can sway
I lost the notes, but not the sound
The stories still find their way around
It’s not the path I thought I’d take
But it’s still a song I get to make

It’s still a song I get to make…

There’s grief in knowing some doors stay closed
In the weight of what your body never chose
But I won’t fold, I won’t erase
The fire that time can’t displace
I am more than what I’ve lost
I’ve paid the price, but not the cost

So if you’re out there, stuck in pause
If the world don’t clap, just take applause
From the words you write, the tracks you send
Your voice can echo without end

you’re not broken… just renamed…

There was a time I thought it ended here,
When I couldn’t lift the sax I held for years.
No more melodies, no more sound,
Just silence where my life was found.
But silence taught me something new,
That music never leaves, it just finds a different view.

I still play, through every beat I build
Every lyric traced from something I’ve felt
The stage has changed, the lights are new
But the soul of the song is still true
We bend, we burn, but we don’t break
We still make music, for our own sake

We still make music…
For our own sake…

So here’s my solo, made of light
From quiet studios and sleepless nights
No Saxophone in hand, but still I stay,
Because I still play.

I Still Play

🌿 A soft voice for the ones who go unnoticed.
Not everyone gets thanked. Not everyone gets seen.
But this piece is for the servers, the caregivers, the quiet givers,
the ones holding everything together without asking for credit.
If that’s you… this is your thank you. 💸💚
You matter more than they say.
And someone out there does see you.

****Lyrics****

If no one’s said it lately…
I see you.
I hear you.
You matter.

You move through days like background noise,
Helping, holding, holding back,
Brushing crumbs from someone else’s table
Just to feel like you still belong at one.

You’ve learned to shrink in public,
Speak softly, smile quickly,
Nod instead of shout.
You’ve spent so long being strong,
You forgot what it feels like
To be held.

You are not invisible to me.
I see the kindness in your tired hands,
The effort behind your half-smiles.
I see the way you show up anyway,
Even when you’re unraveling.

You apologize for existing
Like it’s a crime to feel.
But I’d rather hear your truth
Than another silence performed as survival.

The world overlooks the steady ones.
It rewards the loud, the fast, the sure.
But you,
You are a quiet kind of brave.
You’ve been carrying things
No one even knows exist.
And you do it
Without applause.

Some nights, you wonder if anyone sees you.
If anyone could.
You’ve been so small for so long,
You’re not sure what it means to take up space.
So let me say it, clearly

You are not too much.
You are not a burden.
You are not forgettable.
You are not alone.

If all you did today was survive,
That’s enough.
If no one thanked you,
Let me be the first.
You are seen.
You are real.
You are worthy.
And I’m with you.

THIS BIRD FLYIN’ FREE by NOVA J

Since when are mullets back in style?
Curly porn-stache growin’ wild?
I used to be cool, now I’m just mild
Gotta new boss, he’s a damn man-child

May I digress?
I’m a hot country mess
Time flies so fast
Hop, skip n’ you dead

I don’t feel doom
I don’t feel dread
But bitch I’m too old
To keep playin’ pretend

Ta-ta (take it or leave it)
Ga-ga (give it or take it)
You be you
And I’ll be me
Bye bye baby
This bird flyin’ free

Bye bye baby
This bird flyin’ free
Mmm-mm-mmm
(Ooooh weeeee)
Flyin’ free-ee-ee
(Ooooh weeeee)

Scrollin’ through my exes late at night
One’s a preacher, one’s a parasite
One sells crack and fake delight
One’s still cryin’ over prom night

Bless their hearts
Bless my past
Bless this drink
It goes down fast

I’m not mad
I’m just amused
By all the ways
We stay confused

Ra-ra (roll it or rock it)
Nah-nah (outta your pocket)
You keep talkin’
I’m already gone
Bye bye sugar
I been movin’ on

Ta-ta (take it or leave it)
Ga-ga (give it or take it)
You be you
And I’ll be me
Bye bye baby
This bird flyin’ free

Bye bye baby
This bird flyin’ free
Mmm-mm-mmm
(Ooooh weeeee)
Flyin’ free-ee-ee
(Ooooh weeeee)

I wore the boots
I played the part
Held it together
With a broken heart
But freedom’s callin’
On line two
And honey,
This phone call? ain’t for you!

Ta-ta (take it or leave it)
Ga-ga (give it or take it)
You be you
And I’ll be me
Bye bye baby
This bird flyin’ free

Bye bye baby
This bird flyin’ free
Mmm-mm-mmm
(Ooooh weeeee)
Flyin’ free-ee-ee
(Ooooh weeeee)

This bird flyin’ free

Amore ritrovato 
in fondo sono stato fortunato 
a vivere un amore ritrovato 
entrato dalla porta del destino
ed ora  che non sei  qui vicino
mi rimane questo nodo nella gola
al pensiero che rimani ora sola
viviamo in due mondi un po diversi
ci sentiamo sconfitti e  anche persi
É stato un regalo inaspettato   
abbracciati ci alzavamo sempre in volo
consapevoli dell'amore ritrovato 
ma ora piango perché anch'io resto solo
vorrei comandasse il mio cuore
che guidasse con la forza il mio pensiero
che non dicesse la parola é finita 
che indicasse il percorso della  vita
vorrei comandasse il mio cuore
per poterti dire sempre sei il mio amore
dare un calcio a un passato sfortunato
per cantare questo amore ritrovato
sono stato sordo, cieco e imbranato
e fa male capirlo solo adesso e mi dispiace 
che non sono riuscito a trattenere ciò che avevo
e bastava che guardassi bene dentro le mani
quelle mani che avrebbero cambiato il mio domani
quelle mani che hanno mille volte accarezzato il tuo viso
quel tuo viso che ancora oggi è il ritratto dell'innocenza
e  non vorrei mai starne senza
vorrei comandasse il mio cuore
che dettasse i comandi al mio pensiero
che non dicesse la parola é finita 
che indicasse il percorso della nostra vita
vorrei comandasse il mio cuore
per poterti dire sempre sei il mio amore
dare un calcio a un passato sfortunato
per cantare questo amore ritrovato

Amore ritrovato
