Oh, your voices together. The warmth and hope. I wish everyone could know such feelings this year. I am very aware that they cannot, and that hurts a good deal. Thanks for reminding me of the possibilities when things are working well.

a modern holiday standard, so good you two!  Harmonies of splendor!

This an exceptionally profound seasonal song, hooking me in with the sense of longing and your perfect lyrics, arrangement and performances. Fantastic piece that really resonates. Hats off to you both

A Big Thank You to my friend Synline. I enjoyed this collaboration very much.

Sky And Sand 

In the nighttime when the world is at its rest
You will find me in the place i know the best
Dancin’, shoutin’, flyin’ to the moon
Don’t have to worry ´cause i’ll be come back soon

And we build up castles in the sky and in the sand
Design our whole world ain’t nobody understand
I found myself alive in the palm of your hand
As long as we are flying, all this world ain’t got no end
All this world ain’t got no end

(I found myself alive in,
In the palm of your 
In the palm of your hand,
I found myself alive in…)

In the daytime you will find me by your side
Tryna do my best and tryin’ make things right
When it all turns wrong there is no fault but mine
But it won’t hit hard `cause you let me shine

And we build up castles in the sky and in the sand
Design our whole world ain’t nobody understand
I found myself alive in the palm of your hand
As long as we are flying, all this world ain’t got no end
All this world ain’t got no end   

(I found myself alive in,
In the palm of your,
In the palm of your hand…
As long as we are flying 
All this world ain’t got no end,
All this world ain’t got no end,
Ohh,
All this world ain’t got no…)

Tuff luck 

Got sold that dream of a Ponzi scheme 
Hard work n sacrifice know what I mean
Trade your life away to make a few bucks
And all ya got left is a lotta tuff luck

Tuff luck
That sucks
Tuff luck
Aww

To fast to live, to young to die
Without enough sense to ever wonder why

To old to work to broke to quit
Just a cog in the wheel lost in the mix

Tuff luck
That sucks
Tuff luck
That really sucks
Tuff luck

TuffLuck

This is an introspective tune that describes one man’s attempt to spend his Christmas alone so he might more fully assess his life through Christmases past to the present. He has no distractions and finds the peace of the Christmas spirit to ease his soul.

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
The new winter moon pours out bright on the lake
Snow like a carpet to my door
There by the window, this moment I take
The fireplace crackles with warmth
 
(Pre Chorus)
This cabin holds memories, a child I was then
Grown up with each summer gone by
But this Christmas Eve, alone I have been
To rescue the blessings of time. 
 
(Verse 2)
This whiskey that’s aged well for 26 years
Golden and warming it glows
The Christmas winds whistle with yesterday’s fears
Outside like a siren it blows
 
I see many faces in Christmases past
Their voices resound with a smile
And as the logs settle to embers and ash
My soul is at ease like a child
 
Alone I have no one but me to engage
There is no other voice but the night
The night that conceived on this holiest eve
The eternal truth of the light
 
I see many faces in Christmases past
Their voices resound with a smile
And as the logs settle to embers and ash
My soul is at ease like a child
My soul is at ease, on this Christmas Eve
My soul is at ease like a child

Alone with Yule

Alone With Yule

This is the third Texas Tea song from me and @texmex-shaman that has a super dark eerie mournful vibe to it. We are thinking of them as a kind of trilogy that began with "Got a Light", continued with "Black Coffee" and culminates with this one. Each title is a reference to David Lynch's Twin Peaks. In season 1 or 2 of that show, the main character Agent Cooper says that he takes his coffee "as black as the sky on a moonless night". The mood is kind of appropriate for the weather this time of year, at least in my part of the world!

Moonless Night (A Texas Tea Production)

This is a track from a few years ago.  I recently remixed it with some new parts.  This song is why I think I have ADHD.   

You may know the title from the sound a teenager makes once they've figured out they know everything.

Lyrics:

(Verse) 
Carols linger in the air 
Folks are gathering in the square 
Oh the night fills with laughter and love 
Winter coats, and fluffy boots 
Silly sweaters, Santa Suits 
Children making snowy angels from above

As I walk by every store
 I see my shadow on the doors 
And imagine you’re walking next to me,
With your hand holding mine. 
As the bells begin to chime,  
We would kiss and lose the sense of any time

(Chorus) 
Merry Christmas to one and all !
See the Blessings Big and Small  
May our days be filled with joy we can recall! 
And may we all be safe and warm  
Wrapped up cosy in our homes 
And may you know, that I love you most of all.

(Verse)
So I send you all my love 
A little card there on your shelf 
My lips lingered on each word so you'd know ...
That no matter where you dwell ,
You are loved, and missed as well 
And I’m counting the hours ’till you’re home!

 So I walk by every store 
And see my shadow on the doors 
And imagine you’re walking next to me, 
How your hand is holding mine. 
As the bells begin to chime,  
We would kiss and lose the sense of any time

(Chorus)
 I have faith and I believe  
I will see you New Year’s Eve
Where we fell in love as snow began to fall 
Travel safely from afar  
Take me in your loving arms,
And know that I love you darling most of all,  
And know that I love you darling most of all…

Most of All

Savourer le Mr Freeze  
On me le dit souvent, alors je m’assois et j’attends.  
Monsieur frise un peu trop souvent,  
qu’on me le dise…  
J’attends, j’attends.  

L’air du temps qui glisse à travers le vent,  
À mâcher du réglisse et s’asseoir,  
Et à perdre son temps… alors j’attends.  

J’attends.  
Resté inactif et le regard vif,  
Je voulais y revenir un peu trop souvent.  
Mr rit de toutes ses dents,  
Et tu me le dis…  
J’attends.  

L’air de rien qui passe comme le vent,  
Souffle, traverse le temps et s’assoit,  
Se terre souvent… alors  
J’attends.  

Resté immobile même si la vie défile,  
Sur mon côté débile si facile,  
Dégouline une larme sur ma joue.  
La menthe me manque, juste une envie.  
Personne n’arrive, un ciel trop clair,  
À crier dans les airs…  
J’attends.  


J'attend

Human Ground (Earth) – KAT x Lou
Rooted in stillness, the pulse of being.

Earth hums quietly beneath the noise,
solid, ancient, forgiving.
A piece that carries both gravity and grace.

Created in collaboration with Lou (@louie_e), whose earthy guitar tone meets my lyrical breath  - 
a dialogue between soil and sky.
Part of the Element Series, this collaboration rests on grounded sound and poetic resonance.

The cover image traces back to my Tribe Painting, created in the deserts of Mexico during a shamanic journey, a circle of life, soil, and song.
