Verse 1:

I can’t tell time
It won’t do what I say
I try to take control of time
But time always gets its own way

Time waits for no one 
So goes the old cliche
But if you wait until the time’s just right
You can watch time slip away

Chorus 1:

I’ve heard it said by people who know that
Only time will tell
But time don't say a single thing
I suppose that’s just as well

Verse 2:

I can't trust time
It seems to come and go
And where it went when it's gone
I swear that I don't know

More and more and On and On
I watch time dissapear
Into itself or something else
It leaves me waiting here

Chorus 2:

The universe is particular
About the time it will allow
The only time it does approve
Is the moment happening now

Verse 3:

I can't save time
It doesn't want to last
It's here for such a little while
And then becomes the past

The past can't be saved
It not really here at all
No more than the future is
As best as I recall

Chorus 3:

Seems to be a law of nature
That's universally true that
Three O'clock is too early or late for
Anything you want to do.

Verse 4:

Time fills all the spaces 
If you give it enough room
But it's still a mystery
How it got so late so soon

Time gives me everything
And then takes it all away
Things still seem to happen
In a weird but timely way

Bridge:

If time's a game
It's hard to play
It's got complex rules
And it takes all day
It's not much fun
You just can't win
But it's a beautiful game
When played by children

Verse 5:

Time is my enemy
Time’s my only friend
It's something that i never earned
But I still get to spend

We're all given so much time
You can’t get an extra bit
You can sqeeze or stretch it any way you like
But you’ll never make it fit

Chorus 4:

I can't save time, keep time or take time
Would if I knew how
Thought I had a tale about time to tell
But I'm out of time right now

LOADSTONE

"A little bit of alright" was a phrase that I wrote in my notebook a long time ago. I had no idea what to do with it but I kinda liked the phrase and thought there might be a song in there somewhere.  That was a few years back.  More recently the phrase "nothing's truly black, nothing's black as all that" occurred to me in an unrelated context.  Once they two phrases found their way to the same piece of paper this song popped out.   No deep meaning, just a, hopefully, catchy tune.

Lyrics:
Nothing’s truly black, nothing black as all that.  You can aways find a touch of gray.  
It’s really not so much, just he tiniest touch. Hard to see but it’s always that way,
No matter how dark, and it can get very dark, the stars still find their way through
No matter how old and dreary the story, if you listen you might find something new

There’s a little bit of Alright
Nothing’s ever really that bad
After  midnight on a dark night
There's still a little bit of light to be had       

When you feel low and you swear that you don’t know why you should be feeling like this
It’s probably just the blues but you keep looking for clues you’re sure there must be something you missed
Why don’t you take a moment maybe more than a moment - give yourself a chance to think it all through
No doubt you can cope  you got good reason to hope - that somehow you’ll figure out  what to  do.

There’s a little bit of Alright
Nothing’s ever really that bad
When you’re freezing on a cold night
There's still a little bit of heat to be had       


If you wake into sadness in the middle of your darkest night
Remember that even in the sadness you can find a little bit of alright


If you you’re feeling shy just trying to get by, you’re feeling kinda lonesome and alone 
Feeling pretty flat don’t know what to do ‘bout that. There’s no point of even leaving your home
Maybe think again take a moment count to ten how long since you have been anywhere?
You could get out and meet someone, try your hand at having fun - you’ll find that there's alright everywhere

There’s a little bit of Alright
Nothing’s ever really that bad
When you’re freezing on a cold night
There's still a little bit of heat to be had       

There’s a little bit of Alright
Seems to me it’s always around
Feeling lonely on a hard night
There’s still a little bit of love  to be found       

There’s a little bit of Alright
Seems to me it’s always around
Feeling lonely on a hard night
There’s still a little bit of love  to be found       

A Little Bit of Alright

Slip N Slide centers the feelings of pain surrounding heartbreak. These are the very emotions that paved my entry into making music. We've all been through our love trials and breakups, and if you haven't yet...it's probably on its way. All I know is, it showed me the way and made me who I am today. Know who is good to keep around and know who drains your energy. Hope yall vibe with this one. 

Slip 'N Slide

A lovely May.
You peaked too soon, my summer child.
Alive? 
Just trying to get by.
With a smile inside my eyes.
Ignore the scars.
Acting hard.

You're on a beach.
A weever fish/your feet.
You try to eat a peach.
But those things are bloody hard.
You can't look upon the stars in summertime.
Don't ask why.

I've been on the scene.
I've been in a dream.
I've let people down in many ways.
Sweep me off my feet.
Trapped in the machine.
I can't escape.

I've been on the wane.
I've been home again.
Nobody'll listen what I say.
Sweep me off my feet.
Trapped in the machine.
I can't escape.

Another day.
You'll want for nothing summer child.
Arrived.
At always the right time.
You didn't recognise it was your salad days.
Within the haze.

You're out of reach.
You can not hear my speech.
You've nothing left to teach.
Condescending meek.
You wouldn't wait another week.
To run away.
Run away.

Not part of a team.
Living in a dream.
I've let people down in many ways..
Swept me off my feet.
Trapped by the machine.
There's no escape.

Singing in the rain.
From heaven to the drain.
Nobody'll listen when I say.
Sweep me off my feet.
Trapped by the machine.
I can't escape.

I've been on the scene.
I've been in a dream.
I've let people down in many ways.
Sweep me off my feet.
Trapped in the machine.
I can't escape.

I've been on the wane.
I've been home again.
Nobody'll listen when I say.
Sweep me off my feet.
Trapped by the machine.
I can't escape.
There's no way.



Summer Child

It's Raining Again   (0613)  ft. SUNO

After few bit sharper songs I'm here back with easy listening one. Kind of world music based on acoustic guitar, erhu and clarinet.

"Twenty" was lying for some time on my desk. Some weeks ago I made about first 1 minute and then I lost the inspiration. It was total lack of inspiration and I spent my attention with other tracks. But then suddenly, during one nice easy going summer evening, the inspiration was back and Twenty was tuned and done.

And what about name? Why 20? "Twenty" is just because it's 20th song I have made... It is kind of anniversary, isn't it?

Twenty

I write songs.  I'm not a performer any more than I need to be to have my songs heard once in a while. I hope that better musicians than I encounter my songs and decide to play them.  I just write songs to have them exist in the world. If the world likes them then the world can do with them what it will.  All these recordings are demos.  I've tried to make them as musically interesting as I can but they are all awaiting the skilled hand of someone who knows how to make songs shine.
