UNDER THE SUN
Out of darkness
Into the light
Getting closer
Feeling so right
Step by step and
One by one 
We’ll be together
Under the sun

We’ll be the warriors
The children of the future
Make a stand
We’ll lead the way
Amongst the mayhem and confusion
They had planned
We’ve really got to pull our socks up
And walk the walk as well
We don’t need empty words no more
‘Cause that’s the route to hell

Out of darkness
Into the light
Getting closer
Feeling so right
Step by step and
One by one 
We’ll be together
Under the sun

So you and I can be the guides
For all the sleepers 
On our hands
Hey it’s a dirty job
But someone’s got to do it
The line in the sand
And no one’s gonna thank you 
For it at first
They’ll brand you insane
Your madness will be your 
Banner of truth
No reason for shame
We’ve really got to pull our socks up
And walk the walk as well
We don’t need empty words no more
‘Cause that’s the route to hell

Out of darkness…

Under The Sun

UNDER THE SUN - MTM Feat Winkandwoo

Lyrics by David L. Graham
Music by Kate Stanton

Back Off, Cupid  

I should have never stopped in here tonight
I should have known you’d be here and why
You’d think I’d know better than what I do
But the blue neon and tequila’s cut you loose

Before you start it...you better stop
Cause my heart’s as hard as a rock

So, Back off Cupid
Let me go home
I’ve had too many shots
Just need to be alone
So, Back off Cupid
Love ain’t what I need tonight

That last time isn’t something I wanna repeat 
(You’ve slung your arrows)
For a minute I thought your concern was sweet
(Round left and right)
I thought for a while your romantic gestures were cool
(Half the bar here)
But I know now all your clients must be fools
(Wants to change my life)

CHORUS

So, Back off Cupid
Love ain’t what I need tonight

Back Off, Cupid (Feat. lyrics by McTown Music)

Fun little tune about the great social media fail….

LYRICS: 

I used to think
That I would be someone
If you called my name
I used to think that
Every day

I used to think 
That I would feel something
If you held my hand
It was perfect 
In my mind

You were the melody
And I was the harmony
You were a symphony
And I was the leading beat

You were the band
And I was a fan
Then you walked walked away
From my open hand

Cos this is a song
For the artist's way
This is a song
To know it will be okay
We are the art
And the road on which art is made

This is a song for the girl
Who turned my head
Caught my eye
Now she's all alone
In the spotlight

I used to think
That I would be someone
If you called my name
I used to think that
Every day

I used to think 
That I would feel something
If you held my hand
It was perfect 
In my mind

In The Spotlight (2022)

Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žizek said when referring to the COVID-19 pandemic, "We have stopped production, the ultimate focus of capitalism."
Humanity has learned from experience that national systems, dictatorships, and populism are useless every time an unknown virus emerges. .
This song was completed with the sound source of the live voice and side guitar from my friend Xian3. His beautiful voice is art, a powerful weapon for humanity to have hope.
Art, that is, the countdown in the song is as strong as the secrets taught by the main character in "Kill Bill Volume 2" directed by Quentin Jerome Tarantino from his kung fu master "Pai Mei"

A tribute to one of my closest friends Andy who passed last year from cancer. He left two beautiful daughters and his wonderful wife behind. 
Also a long lasting effect on me and I never got to tell him he really was one of my kings.
This is a raw live recording because that’s seems  more relevant to him coming from a punk background. 
I worked, socialised and shared some unbelievable memorable moments with Andy stretching over a 30 year period.
He was an original punk rocker in his younger days and played as a drummer in many different punk bands. Carried the tattoos of punk and that period carried him through the rest of his life. Very knowledgeable about music and cultures. 
He always got up behind the kit and blasted out at our soundchecks and when we were breaking down after the gig, he just couldn’t help himself. Always supported live new music and my band projects. 
Andy was one of the Co founders with me of underground music magazine Blag. Known as Andypunkrock to the readers.
I will never forget him and think about him everyday.
You don’t realise until certain people leave you how much it affects you. 
RIP Andy you were One Of My Kings.

One Of My Kings (Acoustic Live RIP)

Jazz variations made after listening to a rap track by Dtrot the Pilot, a vast talent....first time listening...and I mean really listening... to a rap track....specifically....listening to the musical patterns. After immersion in Dtrot the Pilot's track (Whatcha Feelin) for over an hour...this came out. Thank you Dtrot. You inspired me.

Happy Friday!

Makin that bacon and I'm bringin it home 
Theres a pretty woman waitin for me
We're hittin the beach
gettin takeout for dinner but  I know that all that takeout ain't free

Cool cool morning on a summer day
the alarm clock won't give up
I gotta punch my card so that I get payed
Pour my coffee in my cup

We all spend our weekdays workin
take our orders from above
but I guess it's not the worst thing
when we're doin it all for love

We're lucky to be worthy of
all of the good good things 
that make up our lives
and give us reason to put up

Now it's real easy to just hang your head
and only look at all of the bad
but for everyday that you get out of bed
you got to think of all that you have

So when you punch the clock all day and night 
think of the roof that's sittin above
cause the money ain't comin
if you're not there runnin 
for the things and the people you love.

Punchin The Clock

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