beautiful, your lyrics and performance is touching

that's powerful.  love how guitar steps out.  lovely.

Perfect, Mike. Perfectly written, performed and recorded, with nothing more or less than it needs.

Beautiful. And touching. Why can't we, for once, write a song like this??

Wonderful song and lyrics, Mike.  The same applies to your vocals - everything you do has such depth.  If I'd a hat, would be doffing it right now...

You have a touch of magic in your vocal performances that captures and holds me

Fifth track of a set of short piano pieces called "Rêveries pour Piano".
Random Walk.

Rêveries Pour Piano V - Random Walk

This song was originally intended to be sung. In the end we were unable to match the meaning of the lyrics with that of the music. Pefhaps one day we will take it up again. In the meantime, here is the instrumental version.

Where I´m Going?

This is an old song that was orginally called 'Flowers in Your Head'  begun in the late 70s by my dad and his friend. He completed it in the 90s and recorded it with a local band (we can't fully remember it). Having not come up with much myself lately,  I was inspired again when remembering how much I liked this, so I re-wrote it again with some different words,  and probably ruined it. 
Melody by Rob Benson (Verse, Chorus) and The Cobbled Moth (Middle 8, or whatever its called). Lyrics by The Cobbled Moth, and Hoppo (who wrote the first verse and part of second).

Cooler is slang for jail. The Song of Songs is worth a study. Beno of LCR FM is in there and the Azerbaijan link. 

Phone recording 24.12.24. 

When I'm feeling lonely and my life is dead and I feel so useless that my face is red 
And I know I can't get away 
The cooler's in my head 
The coolers in my head, the cooler's in my head no no no no oh
Well I turn the radio way down low DJ D says not to go
Back to Stockholm yeah I'm alone just like they said 
The coolers in my head, cooler in my head no no no no oh
You're locked up in a teacup
Diagnoses all wrong 
Bad domain, rage in vain
For lost Song of Songs
Even though you fled
The coolers in your head cooler in your head wo oh oh oh
Where we met was Persia but the north turned red, later left turned right
The same families led 
And I know I can't get away the coolers in my head 
The coolers in my head, cooler in my head No no no no oh 
Cooler in my head, Cooler in my head oh oh oh

Liquid Air

well it gets so hard to notice
but you've been alone now for some time
'cause it seems that she is with you
all around you are surround butterflies
you can tell that it will never be the same again
but you hold onto your memories
and you hope that you will see her again
oh, Susanne

oh we gather all together
in her memory we swing in time
then we fall into the moment
all we see now are surround butterflies
and we feel that she is there
with us all the while
as we hold onto the moment
and she watches from the other side

Tezcatlipoca's Requiem

The track is inspired by the rise of AI in the ARTS.....which I see as coming from the "dark side". I don't condone it and am very much opposed to it. We can already see the confusion it has caused regarding copyright etc. I have no doubt that in the short term it will prevail, however "real" art will survive as long as all artists (musical and otherwise), continue to create. Not having a crystal ball, prevents one, maybe for the better, seeing how the future pans out.  
Meanwhile from a musician's/composer's aspect, I shall endeavour to play and create without the use of AI. Neither will I listen to it in any shape or form.
