Elements of Synergy

Lyrics :
Mon désir en gouttes murmurées,
Comme un fleuve coule entre mes cuisses,
tu es la lune qui soulève mes marées,
l’écho de tes caresses tisse mes délices.

Je suis la paille et toi l’étincelle,
chaque soupir est une vague gourmande,
mon corps se cabre, vibre et ruisselle
Jambes ouvertes, je suis ton offrande,

Chorus :
Soixante-neuf, nombre magique
Clé d’un plaisir tendre à partager
Nous jouissons d’une même musique
Dans un bonheur souple et léger.

Toi aussi tu gémis et dégoulines
Tête bêche, je te rend la pareille
Un même désir symétrique nous anime
Quand nous dégustons nos merveilles.

Dans ma bouche ton plaisir éclos
Dans une onde tendre et soyeuse
J’explose aussi d’un puissant écho
Toutes deux, unies et heureuses.

Chorus :
Soixante-neuf, nombre magique
Clé d’un plaisir tendre à partager
Nous jouissons d’une même musique
Dans un bonheur souple et léger

Soixante-neuf

Babe, fuck a fast car, we ain't goin' nowhere.
The end of us ain't far, and I refuse to care.
We pretend we're par, lost within the glare
of what we feel while high, as if nothing else compares to you. 

Mate it’s great you stay in touch 
Cos just like me I think you smoke a little bit too much
And it’s lovely to believe, there’s another one of me
Living over there but that one’s got more hair

notimistic dopplegangbang (with Harmful if Followed)

Banker's Remorse - demo

Was discussing The Replacements with a friend and had the urge to write a tune in that vein, and, gosh, there was inspiration right there in the daily news.  This was a quick & dirty one day write &  record, but then quick & dirty seems to be the order of the day.

hey mr tangerine man you're not fooling me
I'm not stupid and we all know what you're trying to do
hey mr tangerine man you're not fooling me
and you know we won't be mourning when they're burying you

you rake the air incessantly with your heinous flapping lips
while your golf shirt hides your tits
and your tiny grey hands twitch
all the citizens feel gypped
we're all waiting for a massive stroke to do you in
i'm ready to move anywhere I want to emigrate
but come back for the parade past the golf course where you're laid
i'll fight the urge to urinate

The night turns to gray

The night turns to gray feat. joerxworx

My newest song I wrote Sep 30, in the wee hours of the night, 1-3am... A few lyrics came to me awhile back, I usually always come up with a melody first then the lyrics, but this time happened differently, once I hit the D chord then another, it all just came together very fast, as a songwriter, these unexpected nights always amaze me, I've never been the type to say oh I'm gonna write a song today...they've always just came to me. These were feelings that weighed very  heavily on me almost a year ago now, strange how I wrote this now...guess it's a closure song that I needed deep down. Sometimes things can just surface.  I hope someone out there can relate. Recorded live tonight on my 60's Baldwin, Rode NT1 mic, hooked into a Tascam Portacapture x8. Thanks so much for listening!! The pic is one I shot of the bridge in my hometown after a storm a few months ago. I felt like that bird, arriving safe and sound. More songs will be coming! Take care out there everyone. 

Baby 

All those ugly words
From your pretty mouth 
So uncontrolling 
Off the cuff
Baby, wish I coulda kept the love
All the nights that I couldn't sleep 

Flying back with these birds
I left you down south
Cause you were never good enough 
Baby, you coulda been good enough 
Why create a mountain too steep?

Up north has called my heart
I gave you my best
But everything just fell apart
Oh baby, I'm laying our love to rest
All the memories sinking deep

Tonight, I will sleep

Baby (Original Song Live)

I fully expect some people to get creeped out and unfollow but when I used to go to church, I’d get creeped out, so this is that, and fair is fair. I'd probably get arrested in the former Unites States. FYI, I'm not really a witch.

Lyrics:

They say kneel, they say pray, then rub my shoulders and look away.
Bitter tales and the air is stale, and every song scrapes like nails.

Fingers grip far too long and voices wail and they call it song.
Speaking in tongues I can’t translate, and threats of fire if I escape.

Eyes are closed when questions burn.  
God is needy, I have learned.  
Every sermon strokes a fear and every smile masks a sneer.

If I stumble I must pay the vengeance dressed in holy gray.
I hear whispers through the walls judging me with ancient laws.

Close your eyes, eyes that pry, I was born in truth but raised in lies.
Try to mould me, I defy, I’m your fear and I will fly.

No one’s born to kneel or pray, they teach us fear to make us pay.
Books are closed when questions burn but we are here, you never learn.

Hands on eyes, eyes that pry, born in truth but raised in lies.
Try to mould me, I defy, I’m your fear and I will fly

Who I love terrifies you
A coven hidden in your pews
Your God’s a myth and you’re a fake
We live beside you, wide awake

We Live

toujours des essais en mineur, sans boucles ici , mais avec violon et piccolo. et puis il fallait bien saluer ce bel été indien!

L'été indien

One of those back burner incomplete songs that I started writing back in 2018 timeframe. Pulled it out awhile back and things started to flow, crazy how that happens. Made some changes with the melody, and added a few new lyrics, which were inspired from events of this past year. Trials make us stronger. I hope you enjoy this live recording on my trusty little Baldwin.  Never stop believing in yourself:) Keep fighting! We are overcomers! Blessings to ya'll. Thank you for listening!:)

Stronger 

I've learned
To put a fight in my spine
From all the climbs
Without your hand in mine
Stronger now
Doing better than just fine
In the valley I'm still on cloud nine

Just like the sun whenever I go down
I'll rise in the morning
Just like the stars surrounded by the dark
My soul keeps on shining 
Just like the moon when I'm invisible
I'll never stop believing Oh Oh 
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh 

And I've learned
To breathe when under the gun
Every battle I face
And never run
Pressing on 
From a past that is done
Wherever I go I will be someone 

Just like the sun whenever I go down
I'll rise in the morning
Just like the stars surrounded by the dark
My soul keeps on shining 
Just like the moon when I'm invisible
I'll never stop believing Oh Oh 
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh

Instrumental 

Ohhh Ohhhhhhh

Just like the sun whenever I go down
I'll rise in the morning
Just like the stars surrounded by the dark
My soul keeps on shining 
Just like the moon when I'm invisible
I'll never 
I'll never
I'll never
I'll never 
Stop believing Oh Oh 
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh

My new song "This Night" is now live on SoundCloud! 🌃

This track is deeply inspired by the sounds of the 80s, a decade of music that has always moved me. I tried to capture that feeling with heartfelt saxophone lines and drums that you can really feel. 🎷 My hope is that it brings you a sense of nostalgia and energy.

I am so incredibly grateful for anyone who takes the time to listen. Your support truly means the world to me and gives me the encouragement to continue sharing my music. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. 🙏

I also want to extend a very special thank you to Tennent Buckner for creating the beautiful cover artwork for this single. Your artistry perfectly captured the mood I was hoping for. 💛

Thank you again for being on this journey with me. I would genuinely love to hear what you think of "This Night" in the comments.

This Night

The Funky Cat Dance (Live Remix)

A tribute to all those hours in the life that we loose with utterly senseless stuff and that vanish into oblivion. Not the hours that we loose on necessary evils like household chores but rather the ones like doomsscrolling where we know, we could and should have used them better. But then in the end - does it really make a difference in the long run?
 
Three times the same motive with different turns after a few seconds respectively (at @0:00, @0:57, @1:50).  And an appendix  @2:19 with an open quesion and the hint of an answer.

Again, this composition will come with lyrics in due course, however, since I don't have access to my studio currently, this will take some time - will likely publish some other things before.

Thanks to all of you for listening and supporting my work!

Thank you so much for listening! 🫶

Lyrics: 

I wrapped myself in self-pity
Heard a heavy ringing bell
Didn't think I could be unwrapped
Hidden walls that never fell..

So many layers of emotions
I knew I had to start
And when the first layer was removed
The rest began to fall apart..

Unwrap-app-ing  myself
Unwrap-app-ing myself

Now my soul is almost open
All the layers taken off
But I have left some walls
In case I don't have enough...

A new story will be written
New layers will come
But with an unwrapped soul
I can wrap myself with love...

Unwrap-app-ing myself
Unwrap-app-ing myself

Unwrap -app-Ing Myself  (Original)

Black Coffee - A Texas Tea Production with Tea R Sea

One of the first songs i wrote called "Rise Again" and means a lot to me.

Here is a mesmerizing version of Acoustic and Electric Guitars.

Lyrics:

I lost it all in a flash of pain
The echoes screamed through my veins
The world was cold a bitter hue
But I swore I’d find a way to break through

I fell to the bottom I hit the ground
But I’m climbing back I won’t stay down
Through the storm I’ll find my way
To rise again and seize the day

The road was rough my hands were torn
A heart once heavy now reborn
The sky grew brighter with each new step
A vow I made I’d never forget

I fell to the bottom I hit the ground
But I’m climbing back I won’t stay down
Through the storm I’ll find my way
To rise again and seize the day

Let the winds howl let the thunder roll
I’ve got a spark burning in my soul
They can take it all but not my fight
I’ll stand again in the morning light

Enjoy! :)

BLiZZARD - Rise Again (Acoustic) [COMING - 04.12.25]

Hey! Thanks for stopping by!:) All recordings done on my old Baldwin piano that my amazingly talented grandma gave me. I'd like to think it holds some magic. All original songs, recorded live. I took a few years of classical lessons when I was very young. Fond memories bicycling down E. Brown street to my lessons. Dearest Faye...sweetest teacher ever. 

Throughout the years I'd always tinker on my Mom's old 1900 Ludwig piano through passing, playing songs I had learned, like Fur Elise and The Spinning Song, but it wasn't till I was in college when I fell in love with those keys. There was an old upright in the student center that I'd sneak off to late at night, and ever since then the playing has never stopped, and it never will. I never knew I could even make up melodies, let alone write a song. What a therapy it has been over the years, expressing myself through experiences, and feelings of the hopeless romantic in me. God is good! I'm so thankful. I hope to connect with many and make new friends. Hope you enjoy the songs!:) 

No Ai whatsoever, just my voice and piano, playing and singing simutaneously.
