Chris, this piano ballad is absolutely beautiful. The way you've captured that bittersweet moment of finally letting go of the past is so powerful. Your vocals carry such emotional weight, especially in lines like 'In my long forgotten dreams, all the ones I love never leave' - that hit close to home. The piano arrangement perfectly matches the journey from holding on to acceptance. As someone who's also written songs about difficult transitions and letting go, this really resonates. Thank you for sharing such a personal piece that speaks to anyone who's had to close one chapter to begin another.

The tone of your voice carrying this delicate song of self reflection on pains, regrets, and sorrows made you the architect of your new journeys ahead. Wonderfully written, heartfelt lyrics, and a warm voice accompanied by your gentle piano play.

Back for another listen. And added to my playlist and shared on Facebook. wonderful song, Chris!

This is the end of an era long 
Where all familiar things lingered on 
And I held on to what had to go for long enough 
This is the end of an era long 

And with the end of an era gone 
And unfamiliar feelings beyond 
I know my goal is some way off but I'll carry on
Forgetting what held me back now I know
That none of it would get me far

Bring me to the light 
Unfreeze my soul 
Let me feel alive
Unseize control

Let a new horizon form
Let me leave behind what has been done 
Now's the time for me to face what I have ignored

All this time I've beat myself down
Reminiscing of a time before
People and the places I found 
That'll never come around for more

'Cause I won't progress 
If I don't learn the lesson I've been taught for long enough
All this time I've beat myself down
Reminiscing of a time before

It's how the end of an era goes 
When you can't tend to what never grows 
But I'll find hope somewhere far from all the things I lost
And see that what I've looked back at in sadness
Wasn't even worth the cost

'Cause In my long forgotten dreams
All the ones I love never leave 
We're all there in a clear lagoon 
Chugging drinks every afternoon

I woke up in sweat
And felt so much regret 
About the things we should've done
But I know it's just the end of an era long

Bring me to the light 
Unfreeze my soul 
Let me feel alive
Unseize control

Let a new horizon form
Let me leave behind what has been done 
Now's the time for me to face what I have ignored
This is the end of an era long

I wrote this track about coming to the end of a long period of being unable to move forward due to holding onto things in the past. It is about finally accepting that certain stories in life have their endings and understanding there is no use in holding on to what was not meant to continue, such as old dreams, old friendships or places that used to be home.

End of an Era

SOMEONE YOUNGER by Nova J

Clock is turning, time is flying by,
World is burning, and so am I
Working nonstop, tryin’ to break through,
But now that spotlight’s pointed at Y.O.U.

There’s always someone younger,
Always someone bold,
Always someone smarter,
With a story untold.
There’s always someone richer,
Always someone free,
But they don’t know the fire
That’s burnin’ in me.

Bright shiny happy face, on a tiny screen.
No hair out of place, but what’s underneath?
Wrinkles don’t show when the filters on
But life’s sharp edges cut everyone.

There’s always someone faster,
Always someone strong,
Always someone brighter,
Who’s been there all along.
There’s always someone charming,
Always someone new,
But they don’t know the fire
That’s burnin’ in you.

Run that race, climb that hill,
It’s never enough, but you do it still.
someone is out there watchin’ you,
Wishing they could fill your shoes.

There’s always someone younger,
Always someone bold,
Always someone smarter,
With a story untold.
There’s always someone richer,
Always someone free,
But they don’t know the fire
That’s burnin’ in me.

There’s always someone faster,
Always someone strong,
Always someone brighter,
Who’s been there all along.
There’s always someone charming,
Always someone new,
But they don’t know the fire
That’s burnin’ in you.

Written using GarageBand and with a definite Latin feel. Is it a Cha Cha? I'm thinking it might be!

Another outing by Kim and I , it's a smooth Pop ballad this time , we hope you like it ! Next up is a track that Dave Cooper wrote the lyrics for and I just worked around them , he's off on another cruise and is now officially called Popeye ! After that is a rock song I pinched from Mary Augustson 
( Skippy ) She let me and Kim rework it , and it really does work ! I'm just getting over an op on my right ear , and as soon as I'm better there's a new one to do with Gaz Brownie , David Dunham , Tony Harris , and another with Dave Cooper , so much for slowing down !
Remember me and Charlottes album is still out there , links below . So many thanks for listening !

Fool From The Start

these days im running from my problems
I don't know if I can ever solve em
sometimes im living in gotham
'cause I can only see black and white
filters in my mind stop me from getting it right
maybe if I take another shot ill see the light
smoke another blunt and soar to new heights
so I can jump off the peak and end this blight

SInce I was a kid I dreamed of being up high
swimming through clouds with the planes i'd fly
then I started smoking I fucked up my mind
said i'd stop the green it'd be my last time
then I took another and  said that i'd be fine
parallel dimensions think I crossed the line
demons versus angels all up in my spine
someone said you'll be okay son, just dont cry
fight these fucking battles with your hands untied
pray up to the man that was crucified
and you too shall be redeemed when you die

these days im running from my problems
I don't know if I can ever solve em
sometimes im living in gotham
'cause I can only see black and white
filters in my mind stop me from getting it right
maybe if I take another shot ill see the light
smoke another blunt and soar to new heights
so I can jump off the peak and end this blight

Swimming Through The Clouds

I'm a Liverpool based singer-songwriter and beginner producer. My main instrument is the piano which tends to be my musical home but I do like to experiment with other sounds. I hope to connect with other musicians and share my music which I create myself. I do not use any form of AI.
