Give it Up (Badass)

Give it Up (Badass) - with REKHA and Jeff Roberts

“Just a Boy” is a haunting indie-blues track by Three Photons, crafted in response to a tragic local event. With raw vocals, analog warmth, and soulful instrumentation—including Jeff Roberts on bass and Andrew Borderick on B3 organ—the song captures the ache of senseless loss and the fragility of youth. Mixed with precision and emotional care, it stands as a sonic memorial: intimate, reflective, and deeply human.

A big thank you to Jeff Roberts and Andrew Borderick for playing on....."Just a Boy".

This sad and devastating local story has been on my mind for a long time.... I'm reminded about this tragedy nearly everyday as I run along the Mississippi Blvd and see the memorial.

Verse 1
You move like a summer breeze
There's whistling in the trees
You're always on my mind
You were just a boy
Don't leave me alone

Refrain 1 - instrumental and hum

Verse 2
You know I hate Christmas Eve
It brings me to my knees 
You're always on my mind
You were just a boy
You were just a boy

Refrain
How they took your life
What a senseless crime

Verse 3
You said you were going for a ride
But I didn't say goodbye
You're always on my mind
Don't leave me alone!

Refrain
Well they took your life 
by surprise
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime

Verse4
And After all this time
I can't heal
and baby sometimes I can't feel....

Refrain
Yeah they took your life
Yeah they took your life
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime
How they took your life
How they took your life
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime
How they took your life

outro
You move like the summer breeze
and I hear you whistling in the trees....

Just a boy (ft. Jeff Roberts and Andrew Borderick)

The Break in Tranquility

The Break In Tranquility

Jesus

A few small changes to the words...
This was tough, I have such a rough time with vocals, i rerecorded some of them and remixed the track..

Getting up at 4a m before the birds are singing
Rise and shine to the smell of coffee percolating
Load up the truck put the gear in the boat we’ll spend the day out fishing 
What a way to spend a saturday, out on the river 
And the coffeeville road is dark and long but we know which way to go
we’ve been this way a million times to our favorite fishing hole…
The old lock and dam on the Tombigbee river..

Take me down to the river one more time
Let me put my feet in the water to ease my mind 
Let’s go while there’s still time, while the light still shines
And we can feel the breeze, and watch the wind blow through the trees 
The way it used to be  
 
The river is life, the river is love, but the river is tough sometimes
And the river is hope, the river  is dreams , as  it runs through our lives
it’s full of the memories of the times we had together
And it feels like it goes on and on, but nothing lasts forever

 And the Coffeeville road don’t seem as long as it did those years ago
And were going one more time to our favorite fishing hole..

Take me down to the river one more time
You can put your feet in the water to ease your troubled mind
Let’s go while there’s still time, while the light still shines
And we can feel the breeze, and watch the shadows through the trees
My Dad and me…

Father's Day {Complete}

The stone columns of the Roman arch of Caparra, like gingantic strings played by the force of the wind.

MEDITATION 2 : PETRICHOR

IL FAUT TAIRE LE TEMPS

Les vérités fragiles, celles qui indisposent
Des heures indociles qui vieillissent les roses
Sous des lueurs ingrates dans ce compte à rebours
Les années qui partent aux allers sans retour.

Les folles images sans oraisons verbeuses
Nous tournent la page des idées voyageuses
Devant ces rêves fanés de pensées furtives
Le souvenir d’un passé aux humeurs positives.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

Sous couvert d’absolu, larguer le mauvais sang
Vers des terres inconnues au milieu d’océans
S’oublier des hier sans se moquer de tout
Il reste tant à faire pour aller jusqu'au bout.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

En rêvant de son mieux, vers de jolies pensées
Un sourire dans ses yeux ne peut faire qu'avancer
La vie est ainsi faite, elle va, elle vient, elle fuit
Et même quand tout s'arrête, rien n'est jamais fini.

Mais regardons l'avenir, il reste tant de choses
Beaucoup d'éclats de rire qui font les vies en rose
Profitons du bonheur en vivant ce présent
Et sans penser à l'heure qui brisera ce temps.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
En vivant les instants… en vivant simplement.

IL FAUT TAIRE LE TEMPS (Chanson Française)

Father's Lullaby(Always here) lyrics

Life’s been
spinning so fast
There's a promise that I’ll make
that will always last
If I'm long 
gone before 
you find your way..
Know my love
will always stay 
With every mountain
every test

Remember, my son
you’ll always be blessed
in my absence
you'll never be alone
These words of mine
forever 
etched in stone. 

(La, la, la …)
You find yourself
(La, la, la …)
I’ll always be there …
(La, la, la …)

If I’m gone
before you 
find yourself, 
I promise, 
I'll always be in here
in spirit, yeah
I’ll be watching 
Watching you when you need it most 
Forever cheering till the race is won. 
I’ll be watching 
In spirit.

When you
can't find a way, 
Just Look within
there's strength in there
that'll never fade, 
the light I've planted, 
shining deep inside, 

Will guide you through 
darkness
I'll be 
your guide. 
Through every mountain, 
Know that my love will always 
Always keep you warm.. .

it's a vibe

IT,S A VIBE

I've always wanted to compose hard rock and progressive rock. 
　But it is impossible. Because I can't play the electric guitar. 
　At first it was an ambient song, but over the course of two weeks, I slowly changed it to a heavier sound, added some guitar tones, and finally completed this song. 
　Is it a genre peculiar to Japanese "techno pops"?

I Can't Make Hard Rock

Its A Cool Day .. Remastered

My friend Jeff Roberts did an incredible remix of this humble song and turned it into something really fantastic, more than I thought possible! He is also responsible for the  bass and drums, and additional guitar, keys and all the other cool things in the mix. He is a talented musician as well as a  great producer/engineer. Thank you Jeff!

down deep in your dreams
night terrors haunting you
shadows are taunting you
wake up before ur stuck
an everlasting nightmare

phobos&deimos messing with ur mind
as soon as nights up
they are one of a kind
keep one eye open
they are coming for you
as morpheus takes over
terror awaits you

down deep in your dreams
night terrors haunting you
shadows are taunting you
wake up before ur stuck
an everlasting nightmare

and when the creatures come alive
u cant run and u cant hide
step aside and u will see
a twisted kind of reality

theres no escape from all ur dreams
they bury you in darkest shemes

down deep in your dreams
night terrors haunting you
shadows are taunting you
wake up before ur stuck
an everlasting nightmare

In The Cosmos

Suburban Bicycle Gang - Lake Scugog

Don't you hate it when people start describing a dream they had? I hope not..

I saw an angel in my  dream
Torn and tattered were her wings
And She revealed the truth to me
And it brought me to my knees
It made everything so clear
And my eyes filled with tears
But when i wiped the tears away
Her words had faded in the day

I met a man who came to me
From a land across the sea
He had stardust in his eyes
as we looked toward the sky
He held my face in his two hands
I  felt the fire flow through his veins
And I trembled in my fear
As I whispered in his  ear

Show me the way to get back home
Show me the place where i belong
Give me the stars to light the road
Show me the way to get back home

if it's not too late
Show me how to change our fate
and we all have lost the way
And there's no time left to wait

As i stand before you now
Feeling naked and ashamed 
At the mercy of it all
because I gave it all away

Angel, please return to me

Show Me The Way Home
