Lyrics:
Modern Times

Verse 1

Am I playing the wrong game —- where losing’s a crime
Time’s just not the same—-and there’s no one here to blame
In these modern times——where machines reigns supreme 
breaking all the chains——-to fulfill my dreams
————And that’s a solid —because—- yeah—— I’m back————-
Metaphors and rhymes——-my weapons on this track
Modulating -from the underground ——one culture one voice
And we’re —-wired in like teeth—-like we—-ever—-had a choice

Chorus

Modern times---- a difficult maze
Where screens captivate —— the Information Age
And—-We're all connected——yet we’re—also——-alone
Lost in a sea of pixels----hearts ———-—cold as stone
Modern times————Modern times ——-Modern times

Verse 2

Smartphones--at our side—-our constant companions
That double-edged sword—-has become ——-part of the norm
buzzing Notifications——like a relentless swarm
Distracting —us ——-from moments —-another task ——to perform 
Just another monster ———taking physical form

**Chorus**

Bridge

Artificial intelligence--- a marvel and a threat
Replacing human minds--- leaving us —-deep in debt
Algorithms —-determine our fate—without regret—-
Like marionettes ———or puppets on a strings
Manipulating our thoughts——damn—we are feeding these things

Verse 3

Social media——-a stage ——for the soul to bare
Beneath the surface——lies ——and deceptions —-are clear
We curate our lives——-like a perfect facade
our true selves———pushed aside ——in total disregard

**Chorus**

Outro

In this digital age---we must find our way
Embracing the power——with a huge price to pay
There’s a balance for the screens —-in real life
With the key to our future——a new vision insight

Modern Times Vocals 150 BPM

The song was a collaboration between Axel Menningen and myself. Axel passed me his backing track with a that really catchy solo.

Lyrics

I just can’t let it go, and somehow, she knows.
Letting her go it’s breaking my soul.
Can’t even hide, those feelings inside.

Oh, I know, that I’ve no hope.
So hey, can’t I just be, the one that she’ll see.
Taking a chance on me.
 
He sees that girl and he wants much more. 

Oh hey. what is the magic of this girl.    (She’s the one I’ll always love)
I don’t have to save the world.           (She steals my heart as I turn around)
 I just want to love the Girl.                             (Oh yeah)
Oh hey. what is the magic of this world.           (She’s the one I’ll always love)
To fall in love, just fall in love like me. 

So hey, let’s hope.

So today I will be the boy that she sees.
 taking a chance to be.

He sees that girl and he wants much more. 

(Oh, she’s the one I’ll always love)
(She steals my heart as I turn around)
(Oh Yeah, she’s the one I’ll always love)

When I close my eyes, then I can see the truth.
When I see that smile, and the light shines through.
And with my open eyes, then I can see just you.
When I see that smile, I’m in love that’s true.

Oh hey, what is the magic of this girl.  
I don’t have to save the world 
I just want to love the Girl.   
Oh hey. what is the magic of this world.                
To fall in love, just fall in love like me.

lyrics:
Since we started, we had a long way from home
now never departed, we have to stand tall
Never let it down, no threat from the wind
rain or thunder nor from any evil seed

Always i wonder, what's next on the line
this daily life plunders whatever vital that shines 

i keep on dreamin' aiming high
but this weird feeling shutters my mind

but if i'm keeping all worries behind
i should remain believin', relentless will for life to find

fightin' for no reason, ain't gonna give me peace of mind
feeding my ego, had lost so much precious time

Now it's the right time, to think what's next
healing this heart and let the mind to rest

Since We Started

Real Good trouble

Massive thanks to Magic Mike Fox  for his musicianship, producing, production and most of all just for being a top bloke.
And Nat Daniels for her massive contribution with her incredible vocals.
I have done many duets with Nat and every time it’s been a pleasure we have created many special moments.
Marry Me In Vegas was part 1 this is part 2 after Vegas with Real Good Trouble. 
Months after the non event of the grand marriage. He missed her after jilting her and not making the flight he felt like he needed to explain he just wasn’t ready for what she wanted. 
He never had the chance as she disappeared, shutdown her socials, changed her number and left.
Months passed without contact and then this phone called happened.

REAL GOOD TROUBLE (After Vegas)

I can’t believe you’re back in the city 
We called called our own
You wouldn’t recognise my number 
When I was calling,  calling on your phone
You said I’m sorry it’s been too long now 
And too many stones thrown 
I changed my number then picked another 
It was a stagecoach to Basingstoke 

Chorus 
So if you wanna get into 
Some real…. real Good trouble 
And leave our past behind
Then I’m ready & primed
For real good trouble 
For real good trouble….. Every Time! 

(every time.. oh baby baby baby... every time)

2nd Verse
After Vegas I needed to leave 
I should of worn my heart on my sleeve
Every minute of everyday 
I thought of you and what I would say 
I got a job found a place 
And for a while I was the new face.. 
And all the great moments that got us through 
Were never the same without You! 

Chorus 
So if you wanna, get into
Some real…. real good trouble 
And leave our past behind 
Then I’m ready & primed
For real good trouble 
For real good trouble … Every Time!

Every time.. oh baby baby baby... every time..
Real good trouble... 
Real good trouble... 
Real good trouble... 
Every time.. Every time!

Real Good Trouble (After Vegas) Fox, Brownie & Daniels

Imagine-Tribute to John Lennon & Beatles

Lies and betrayal truth as my shield
Prepare to fight time will not yield
Hearts bleed right through
I try to move
You’ve failed and I’m the proof

Here I stand
Raise my hand
Here I stand 
Raise my hand

This anger holds it won’t let go
This nightmare will not take me whole
The knife cuts deep
The shots are cheap
I won’t move I won’t weep

Here I stand
Raise my hand
Here I stand 
Raise my hand

I stand these feelings are so raw
I stand from this pain I still draw
I stand and draw a line so clear
I stand and overcome my fear

As time ticks by stop asking why
Reduce the tears I cry

Here I stand
Raise my hand
Here I stand 
Raise my hand

I stand these feelings are so raw
I stand from this pain I still draw
I stand and draw a line so clear
I stand and overcome my fear
Overcome my fear

Stand

Alone.

Don't say you loved me or that you wanted me now
Because I can't tell if you're heaven or hell
I can't even tell
Another lost girl who really really wants
What she can't have, that doesn't belong
It's not for trying
You built a fantasy and a pedestal for him
And a catastrophe just waiting to happen for me

Hold on, it's just a matter of time boy
You've been here before
Get your shit together
You've been here before
One step after another
You deserve more

You never really knew the object of desire
Because if you did, I knew you'd have tired
Of his way
Sex and secrets and such duplicity
Submission to chasing a destiny
That never came

Hold on, it's just a matter of time boy
You've been here before
Get your shit together
You've been down that road
And it's a road to nowhere
You deserve more


Thank you to Z for the drums!

A Fucked Up Limerence Song

WHO NEEDS A FANFARE
IN A FANCY BAR
YOU CAN DRIVE QUITE FAR
IN AN RUSTY OLD CAR
I AM ANIMAL
I GO MINIMAL
THE ALLIGATOR WAY

I GROW BY THE LIGHT
WHETHER DIM OR BRIGHT
IN A SILLY TRY
TO REACH THE SKY
I AM VEGETABLE
I GO MINIMAL 
THE POISON IVY WAY

ROCKY AS A TOAD
CARVED ALONG THE ROAD
A BOULDER OF OLD
A NUGGET OF GOLD
I AM MINERAL
I GO MINIMAL
DOING IT MY WAY

THE LARGER THE CROWD
THE FURTHER I STAY AWAY
THE MORE THE TALK GETS LOUD
THE LESS I HAVE TO SAY
I’M NO WATERFALL
I GO MINIMAL
THE MISSISSIPI WAY

THE MISSISSIPPI WAY (Lyrics)

My Reflection

Track by https://soundcloud.com/sam-reaver 
backing vocals, Keys and keytar in center, editing and mix/mastering by Conover

I am asking you to be 
All the strength you have inside 
I am asking you to see 
The dreams that keep you up at night
All we need is an advocate 
Someone to believe that we can handle it 
All we need is a push for it 
I do believe that you have so much more to give 
In this life
I am calling out your name 
To beat the odds and break the chain 
I know the love you’ve got to give 
Will spread like fire through the wind
All we need is an advocate 
Someone to believe that we can handle it 
All we need is a push for it 
I do believe that you have so much more to give 
In this life

If there was only two traits that came through in my music, I would hope that it would seem to be effortless and inevitable.
