Welcome to "Happiness," a song that celebrates the simple joys and moments that make life truly special. Back at the end of 2023, I reached out to friends on social media, asking them to share their definitions of happiness. Their heartfelt responses inspired the lyrics of this track, turning their collective wisdom into a melody that resonates with all of us.

"Happiness" is more than just a song; it's a tapestry woven from shared experiences and cherished memories. Whether it's spending time with loved ones, enjoying a peaceful moment with a cup of coffee, or finding joy in solitude with your favorite records, this song captures the essence of those moments that bring us true contentment.

Happiness

Exploring the darker side of romantic love in the modern era. Influences include early British Metal and early American Gothic music. At times harmonically dischordant with a moody and haunting vibe

The One To Call (Live Version) - John Goldrust

A heartfelt song of heartbreak and lost love. Performed live at The Oxford Poetry Circle on 30.10.24, the song explores what happens when two people in love grow apart and change as individuals - sometimes irreversibly

Forever And A Day (Live) - John Goldrust

Have you ever seen that movie 'Memento'?  This song is about having amnesia and trying to put the pieces together to find your lost love.  You smell something that lets you know she's close.  

Another Deja Vu

ANOTHER DEJA VU

Against the Wind

Original song by Stefano Pierini - © 2025  
The song is structured into scenes without a plot. Each scene evokes memories of the past or déjà vu. The wavy flow, the pauses and the bass in harmony help to immerse yourself in an imaginary scene

Already lived story

The original version of this song by The Infinity Chamber has an attractive and captivating Pink Floyd vibe to it. That beautiful, melancholic style is what drew me to the song from the beginning. The lyrics, both provocative and moving, still leave me wondering and imagining.

The song depicts a bedroom scene through the eyes of a man who starts to doubt his relationship, his life and life in general and tries to step away from it all. The brutally honest way in which this epiphany of gloom was put into words, generates unexpected sympathy and aversion at the same time. Once the sadness behind the lyrics sinks in, you are helplessly building sympathy for both characters in the scene and that final: “I went and got pissed”, doesn’t even sound mean anymore. It sounds like he deserves the relief.

I hope my version of it does the work justice.

The Delicate Art of Reflection

Automatic (Acoustic Version)

A country-tinged road song full of longing and solitude. With vivid imagery and a steady groove, it’s a love letter from the highway, counting down the miles to reunion.

This song is about what really happens when family comes together — the good memories, the broken pieces, the people we miss, and the things we’re finally ready to let go of. It’s about cracked plates, old stories, old wounds, and the way a familiar room can hold both pain and comfort at the same time. 

I wanted to capture that moment where everyone sits down, looks around the table, and realizes that forgiveness doesn’t have to be a big dramatic thing — sometimes it’s just passing the wine, sharing a smile, or choosing not to reopen the same old fight. It’s about letting love be louder than the history we’ve all lived through. 

This song is my way of honoring how imperfect and beautiful family can be, and how a simple meal can become the place where healing finally starts.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Cracked plates and stories untold
Grandma's laugh a treasure of gold
Remember the fights the slamming of doors
We gather now on familiar floors 

[Prechorus]
Can we let it go
Can we let it go 

[Chorus]
Around this table of forgiveness
Love's the only thing we profess
Pass the gravy pass the wine
Let bygones be bygones this time 

[Verse 2]
Uncle Joe's got a brand new wife
Little Timmy's got a brand new life
Auntie Susan she can't make it this year
But we know she's with us oh so near 

[Prechorus]
Can we let it go
Can we let it go 

[Chorus]
Around this table of forgiveness
Love's the only thing we profess
Pass the gravy pass the wine
Let bygones be bygones this time
