"Six Days and a Single Dime" isn't just a song about driving; it’s a song about survival. After nearly a week of vibrating engine hum and lukewarm coffee, the line between the driver and the machine starts to blur.

The "single dime" represents the brutal reality of the blue-collar struggle—working yourself to the bone only to end up with just enough to keep the engine turning. With a broken radio and a heavy fog rolling off the riverbed, the driver is left alone with his thoughts and the looming shadow of "the Man" in the rearview mirror. This is the soundtrack for the midnight hauls, the unpaid debts, and the sheer willpower it takes to make that final bend by noon.

Six Days and a Single Dime

Composer&lyricist, synths, melodica, vocals: Antoine G

This is a simple folk song, with a simple theme: an old woman waiting on the shore for her man - who will never come back

Lyrics:
In our home, I waited while you roamed the seas, 
Watched my hair turn silver as time moved like a breeze. 
Three times you returned, and four times you left, 
These sweet and bitter memories I cannot forget.

I stood by the shore and stared at the waves, 
Knowing each of them was a sailor's grave. 
And aching every time I saw a returning sail, 
Knowing that none of them belonged to my man.

And the years have passed and all beauty has passed, 
And I don’t have the courage for any other man
I’m just that crone on the shore that people pass  by, 
And  I’ve grown too wise for any other man.
(Interlude)

And the years have passed and all beauty has passed, 
And I could never love any other man
I’m just the crone on the shore and people pass me by
And in my heart, you’re still, still the only man.

And one day a wave will break at my feet
Carry me to the ocean, and there we will meet
Amongst the currents and the seaweed I will find my crown
I will be your queen again, in my love you will drown

Unserved – stripped blues / soul confession, minimalist, moral imbalance

With almost nothing to shield it, the voice stands alone, close enough to hear hesitation, memory, and the weight of what was waited for. The song moves through an imbalance: one kind of theft that is visible and punished, another that leaves no mark but empties just as deeply.

Unserved lives inside a moral paradox: what is counted as a crime, and what is allowed to pass as choice.

━━━ ✦ LYRICS ✦ ━━━

Twenty years on count time
Watching dust crawl up the tier
Seeing love through glass
But seeing it more clear

Learned the weight of waiting
Learned how days can die
Learned how silence listens
And bars would never lie

Hope comes small and silent
Grief comes like a rage
Freedom is that stranger
Laughing at the edge

I still have your address
That time refused to take
Spent it slow in letters
I never learned to fake

Some bells will never ring
Some locks don’t need a key
I robbed what I could carry
You robbed the rest from me

I don’t ask you to remember
What once we tried to be
I just came back to dust
The part that wasn’t me

To leave behind the version
You never had to know
The one who learned too late
To let the things just go

Some bells will never ring
Some locks don’t need a key
I robbed what I could carry
You robbed the rest from me

You robbed
You robbed the rest of me

Some bells will never ring
Some locks don’t need a key
I robbed what I could carry
You robbed the rest from me

Unserved
