زن زیبا بود در این زمونه بلا


“Dollar Road” is the opening track of the Dollar Road trilogy—a lyrical journey through the cost of ambition, modern exploitation, and cultural erosion. It captures the speaker’s realization that the path to success, dressed in promise and progress, is in fact paved with sacrifice, silence, and ancestral loss.
Through baritone vocal delivery and Afro-soul noir textures, the lyric weaves stories of:
Family and heritage traded for false opportunities
Love stretched thin by survival
Ghosted neighbourhoods and displaced rituals
There’s no hero in this track—just a witness. Someone who thought they were climbing but finds themselves surrounded by shadows. The glamour fades, and what’s left is the haunting toll of every compromise.

🎵 Title: "Dim Your Lights Down"
MOBest

"Dim Your Lights Down" is a dark romantic ballad that tells the story of a passionate but destructive love affair. The narrator is drawn to a mysterious figure who hides behind beauty, sorrow, and distance. Their connection is intense and spiritual, yet filled with pain, silence, and emotional scars. The song explores the paradox of longing for someone who can't fully open up – asking them to dim their emotional defenses and let love in. Through vivid metaphors and haunting imagery, it moves between intimacy and ruin, light and shadow. The instrumentation builds an ethereal yet powerful atmosphere, with cinematic breaks, whispered interludes, and a strong emotional pulse. The chorus pleads for vulnerability, while the reprise merges love and death in a final embrace. It's a song of devotion and despair, wrapped in mysticism and melancholic beauty.

Lyrics:


[Intro – Instrumental]
[Soft piano, distant heartbeat percussion, echoing strings]


---

[Verse 1]
I found you dancing in the ruins of the night
A broken halo in the shimmer of streetlight
Your breath a riddle, your skin cold flame
You whispered secrets, but never your name


---

[Verse 2]
We kissed like wolves beneath the bloodred moon
The stars went silent, they vanished too soon
You pulled me closer, but kept me far
A love like knives beneath a velvet scar


---

[Instrumental – Solo Violin and Low Synth Pulse]


---

[Chorus]
Dim your lights down, let me inside
Turn the silence into something we can’t hide
Dim your lights down, drown me slow
In the love you’re too afraid to show


---

[Verse 3]
You wear your sorrow like a saint wears gold
A crown of silence, beautiful and bold
I drank your sadness, I wore your chains
But love in shadows always leaves a stain


---

[Verse 4]
I begged for fire, you gave me ice
Each touch a curse, each kiss a price
You said “I’ll stay,” then turned to smoke
You smiled, but darling, hearts don’t joke


---

[Bridge]
And I know I can’t outrun this spell
You built a heaven on the edge of hell
Your voice still dances in my head
A symphony of what we never said


---

[Instrumental – Slow Drum Pulse, Cello and Reversed Piano]


---

[Interlude – Spoken Whisper over Ambient Sounds]
“Love me like ruin. Love me like war.
Love me like no one ever did before…”


---

[Chorus]
Dim your lights down, let me inside
Turn the silence into something we can’t hide
Dim your lights down, drown me slow
In the love you’re too afraid to show


---

[Reprise – Chorus Variation]
Dim your lights down, hold your breath
Let me feel you in the arms of death
Dim your lights down, stay undone
We’re two shadows bleeding into one


---

[Instrumental – Solo Guitar + Layered Synth Choir]


---

[Outro – Instrumental Fade with Low Strings and Distant Drums]



Dim your Lights down (Violin Version)

Based on a poem by Vyron Leontaris

[Verse 1]
Αυτές οι εκβολές των ματιών σου
με πνίγαν στ’ αγκάθια του πόθου,
κι εγώ να μην ξέρω ποια είσαι,
μα νιώθω να τρέμω στ’ άγγιγμά σου.

Το δέρμα σου μου έφερνε μνήμες,
χειμώνας βαθύς μες στο κύμα.
Πίκρα έσταζε πάνω στο χρόνο
κι εσύ η φλόγα στο δρόμο.

[Pre-Chorus]
Θυμάμαι που δε σ’ είχα αγγίξει,
μα η φωνή σου με είχε κρατήσει.
Δυο ψυχές, δυο μικρά παιδιά
δεμένες σφιχτά στη σκιά.

[Chorus]
Ποιος τολμάει πια να μας χωρίσει,
που γίναμε λέξεις, φωτιά και χαρά;
Στης μνήμης το κύμα, στα βάθη της γης,
κανείς δεν μπορεί πια να μας σβήσει.


[Bridge]
Μιλούσες κι ο κόσμος σωπαίνει,
η λύπη γλυκά να πεθαίνει.
Τα μάτια σου, σκούρο νερό,
με ρίχναν σε φως μυστικό.


[Pre-Chorus]
Δεν ήσουν ποτέ μου κοντά,
κι όμως ζεις ακόμα μες στη καρδιά.
Σαν φλόγα που καίει τη σιωπή,
σε κράτησα βαθειά στη ζωή.


[Chorus]
Ποιος τολμάει πια να μας χωρίσει,
που γίναμε λέξεις, φωτιά και χαρά;
Στης μνήμης το κύμα, στα βάθη της γης,
κανείς δεν μπορεί πια να μας σβήσει.

[Outro]
Κι αν όλα χαθούν στη σιγή,
θα μένεις βαθιά στη ψυχή.
Μια λέξη, μια ανάσα, μια προσευχή
στα μάτια σου να ξαναβρώ τη ζωή.

Ποιος τολμάει πια...

Have had a writing holiday, with no musical acoutrements whatsoever. Having posted a poem set to music yesterday, I decided that today I would write a song. Maybe not my best but had found a new "method" for writing lyrics; and used it to produce this song. A quiet and melodic song this time, hope you like it.

Our Love's An Illusion

Ashtray Mouth is the sound of queer desire scraped raw — a smoky confession whispered between motel sheets and ash-stained prayers.
Ellis Wilder croons through heartbreak and hunger in this aching indie-folk ballad, where bruises tell stories and the Bible stays shut.
With stripped vocals, cracked harmonies, and lyrics that burn slow, “Ashtray Mouth” is a hymn for the damned and tender — for the boys who kiss like they’re forgetting, and the ones who let them.
This is folk music with a pulse and a scar.

it's 3am in the smoky jazz club and she walks onto the stage to play the last set of the night... tales of heartbreak, self destruction, lust, nightmares and doomed love... but not without a sprinkle of hope on top. Sometimes that small piece of hope is enough to take you through another day. A melancholy collection of some of my jazz reinterpretations of my songs

Time in the jungle

Time in the Jungle

I’m a guy from Kinna, born in 1973, and I’ve loved music for as long as I can remember. I picked up playing at 17 and spent the 90s in a local garage band, having a lot of fun making music with friends.

These days, I mostly play at home for my own enjoyment. I listen to all kinds of music, as long as it speaks to me and has some feeling behind it. Music has always been a big part of my life, and it’s something I’ll never let go of.
