if you had everything 
would you still count on me 
when nobody knows 
and i'm alone
 i'll be here now and again 
so don't just walk past
it's there for a reason 
it's there for a reason 

i used to do it all on my own 
boneless, lifeless drone 
from my head to my toes i was alone 
i'll be here now and again 

strung out 
my hand 
would you let go of me

Love is a curse // broken trinkets
0tumn - 2025

Do not let the time cool your heart!

Time stretches and compresses like elastic. It leaves gaps that must be filled and removes the parts that will not be remembered.

Take care!

LYRICS

"don't call for darker friends
I'll be your pale
you quit this happenstance
I won't derail
hell with your consequence
I'm not for sale
I'll readjust my lens
all beauty pales


can I get an amen
can I get a when
can I get a pen
can I get a pen

hell with your consequence
I'm not for sale

can I get another hand
to lend
up in here

can I get an amen
can I get a when
can I get a pen
can I get a pen"

Shivers down the spine 
The spine of the book
The book of the film
The film of the day
Day or night-time
Time to shine
Shine the light
Light the scene

Scene-set the place 
Place the order
Order the treat
Treat the cause
Cause the ruin
Ruin the play
Play the song
Sing the fear
Fear and isolation
Isolate the source
Source the space
Fear and isolation
Fear and isolation

Isolation

The path of least resistance
The certainty of doubt
Reflections in a mirrored cage
The withs who are without
The burden of conformity
The illusion of choice
The silence of defiance to the inner voice

Waking up, coming home
Waking up, coming home

The safety in compliance
Shielding from the light
The appliance of the science
The truth that’s never right
So many years to drift the drift
The winding lane of fate
Released for good behaviour
It’s nevermore too late

Waking up, coming home
Waking up, coming home
(Following the path of least resistance)

The actor leaves the stage

Reflections

Improvisation

Picture https://flic.kr/p/2jG2un9

Summersun is slowly rising
Across that fateful August sky
Sparrows & starlings flutter
and make a sound that seems to flash.

Remember Blind Pete from Regent
Just a whisper and you'll be there
In the days of travelling
I was waiting
For the soothing rain

This song was done for a contest of the Songwriter Forum Kitchen. Initially I thought the challenge was to write a song not in the standard 4/4 measure. But after finishing this track I found out the rule was to write a 3/4 waltz. So this is a left over.

The line about Blind Pete is a nod to the 1995 Orally Men terror tour.

Soothing Rain

Soothing rain

I was 12 years old when the video game Deus Ex Machina was published. I must have played it maybe a couple years later, but still as an impressionable young man :-)

It was weird and awesome, a video game that came with a "real" music soundtrack on the same audio cassette. Incredibly fascinating to me, I remember it as a mystic experience.

This is my cover of "I Am Machine", first song from the game soundtrack, written by Mel Croucher, with the original (and amazing) vocals by Donna Bailey.

I hope my version does justice to the magic that this masterpiece of computing and entertainment history represents.

--

An amazing little piece of software, called Spleeter, was used to extract the vocals. The rest (beat, synths, and vocoder) was all done in Caustic. Plus a healthy dose of Korg iWaveStation for those extra-cheesy '90s sounds.

Artwork: based on original artwork from the Deus Ex Machina video game.
