Description: A poetic, fingerstyle meditation on dreams and distance. Gentle and introspective, it captures the feeling of chasing something just out of reach—both literally and metaphorically.

This "Inspired Response" helps keep me on track.  I know my path won't always be straight and smooth, but whatever twists, turns or obstacles I face, I will find a way to continue on down it.  Acceptance of who and how I am is the key to maintaining some sense of sanity, or at least to keep from losing it entirely. 

Inspired by Nirvana's Lithium, played with my trusty buddy CJ.

"Nocturne for Rain and Orchestra" is a track where the sounds of rain, thunder, and orchestra blend together. The 6/8 time signature creates a rhythm like steady falling drops, while strings, piano, and subtle electronic layers gradually fill the space, building a dense, cozy atmosphere. The music doesn't force any specific emotion—it simply exists as a backdrop for thinking, working, or relaxing to the sound of rain.

Nocturne for Rain and Orchestra

“A sonic journey through the ruins of a city at war, where between sirens, silence, and the longing for peace, a human heartbeat is still sought. A powerful and melancholic track that blends raw imagery with intense emotion, suspended between destruction and hope.”


Bombs fall hard upon my head
Sirens scream, the city’s dead
Missiles loop, homes torn apart
Buildings crash right in the heart
                        
Now there’s peace, above the fire
A fleeting calm, a small desire                
The air smells of iron and flame
The sun shines down, but nothing’s the same, hey!

Only my steps break the empty streets
Echoes of a world that no longer beats
Peace… but how long will it stay?
We chase a heartbeat, then fade away 
(then fade away, then fade away)

I close my eyes just to feel alive
Shut the world down, but the silence survives      
No signal now, where am I to go?
No proof my people, still walk below. hey hey hey!

Now there’s peace, above the fire
A fleeting calm, a small desire.                 
The air smells of iron and flame
Now the sun shines down, but nothing’s the same


China and the red dragon! China and the red dragon! China and the red dragon!

China and the red dragon! China and the red dragon! China and the red dragon!

China and the red dragon! China and the red dragon!

THE LAST SIGNAL

1-Though I love You, Lord,
My life seems all deformed.
I give my life to You—
Then drift away.
Lord, may I ask You that
You'd draw me yet again,
And keep me running after You. 

	Lord, I've seen Your purpose.
	Your heart's unveiled to me.
	Now I'd just like to see You gain me fully.
	Though You I often limit
	And fail by compromise,
	Keep me in the index of Your eyes. 

2-Lord, I want Your best.
I want Your full blessing.
I don't want any less,
Though good it be.
Have mercy, Lord, to push, to pull,
Lay hold of me.
Keep me still running toward the prize.

3-Mold me, shape me, Lord.
Be my reality.
Even break my heart,
If it has to be.
I'm desperate, Lord, that You would have
Your way with me.
Others could touch You then through me.

4-Set my heart aflame.
Don't let me stay the same.
Don't let things remain
Which now grieve You.
My life I give to You and
All I've claimed as mine.
May I just hold, Lord, unto You.

1-Aunque Te‿amo, Señor,
Mi vida‿aún se deforma.
Te doy todo,‿y después
Lejos me voy —
Te ruego que me‿atraigas una‿y‿otra vez,
En pos de Tí yo correré.

	Tu plan, Señor, he visto,
	Toqué Tu corazón.
	Deseo que‿ahora me ganes por completo.
	
	Si‿aún Te limito‿a veces
	Y no cedo en mi‿andar: 
	Nunca me dejes de mirar.

2-Señor, Tu bendición
Sin igual, hoy‿yo anhelo.
No hay nada más, mi Dios,
Por pedir hoy...
Que por Tu guiar asirme‿a Ti logre Señor.
Hacia la meta seguiré.

3-Moldéame Señor.
Se Tu mi realidad.
Quebrántame si así‿es
Tu voluntad.
Desesperado estoy que‿en mi‿hagas Tu querer.
Otros Te tocarán en mi.

4-Señor avívame;
Igual nunca me dejes.
Sin reservas Te doy
Mi corazón.
Te doy mi vida y todo cuanto mio es.
Señor, me aferro sólo‿a Ti.

So it begins in 2/4 then the usual 4/4. First time trying out just a D vamp although the bass line does begin with E. I’m using a 70’s funk clav that Stevie Wonder probably uses a lot and some more simpler funk piano rhythmic variations than my WeChat piano instructor.  Then a chord progression where I pretty much follow the chords with the melody. For the E7#9 at the end I learnt that if you play an E9 half a step higher before it it sounds good so I tried that and I do think it sounds good. Chorus goes to D Dorian with a bit of ii-V in the first phrase. Horn section for the chorus is done based on feel. For the last line of the chorus I tried an ascending whole tone run where it went D-E-F# paired with a more diatonic horn run  but I don’t think the mixer liked some of the dissonance of the whole tone on the root notes so he emphasised the more diatonic notes. I was OK with that. For the guitar solo the first couple of bars contain the melody I sang in my head. Then I played a 4th degree dom9 arpeggio over the Dm giving it a dorian feel. Then some shred wank (tapping) that I improvised. Then my signature (note - xxx - note -xx - note - x) lick and another line I sang in my head to end the BPM back to something in the 90’s. There are some bebop notes played by this effect called ‘cinematic funk’ in the last chorus. I did prefer the previous mixer but only by a little.Better groove than the previous funk song but probably not better melody. Hopefully we’ll get both right on the next attempt.

Lyrically, just being naughty. Putting a positive spin on things.  I don’t particularly enjoy this role but a positive spin on things makes all things …positive.

I’ll be your backdoor man
Just don’t leave the condom in the bin post  a 1 night stand. (Some element of truth where this woman used to call it a 套套。a ‘Dom Dom’ if you will. I think it’s definitely your first time cheating on your husband when you leave it in the bin like that.)
You have love. To Offer me.
And I return it to you with dignity

Who’s that man with the croissant knocking on my door
The ashes from his cig fallin’ on the floor
And if I pay for dinner will my husband find out?
That his bank account is ebbing today 

I think one of the lines in the chorus i am singing is do you remember when I kissed your trauma twofold


Backdoor Man

Feeling

Seven whispers, seven chains, seven sins. A song about struggling with inner demons.

A.I. for an Eye

Cusapepi is a blues influenced rock band from Melbourne, Australia, with a unique vibe and a melodic guitar driven sound.

Cusapepi formed March 2024, the guys had never played in a band before their coming together, which was quite incidental and unexpected, they say that having formed a band later in life, their songwriting takes inspiration from over 5 decades of lived musical influence. The music of our lives, where the underlying musical catalogue is tremendous, we feel energized by the sounds and cultural transformations that have occurred over time. Music is more than just the sound, it represents the vibe, the essence of the period. It drives fashion, art & the emotions of our lives.
