Youve created an ear worm here David, really catchy chorus. Superb arrangement, production. Fab lyrics, with vocal and harmonies to match.

Great song and stunningly good and unique vocals. Songwriting at it's best! 👏💫

Impressive techniques, nice bouncy feel to the chorus! Cool alt rock crooning on the verses!

This playlist is a tribute to all the amazing musicians and friends who support me on my journey. Here you’ll find their tracks – each one representing creativity, passion, and community. Music connects, inspires, and builds bridges – and that’s exactly what this collection is about.

Circle of Sound

Hello everyone,

Many of you probably know this feeling. You start making music and completely lose track of time. The hours fly by, and suddenly it's late in the evening or even nighttime. I wanted to capture this theme in a lighthearted and humorous way.

I'm really happy that I was able to produce this song together with Mike Fox. Mike liked my idea for the arrangement and lyrics right away, and he was immediately on board. How much we appreciate each other can definitely be heard in the lyrics.

For this song, we were also able to bring in two guest singers—but just listen for yourselves! What they sing is probably something everyone in a relationship has heard at some point – or am I wrong?

Mike and I certainly hear it very, very often! 😆

"We Should Be Asleep By Now"

Axel walks in, right on time,
Says “let’s rehearse” – I pour some wine.
He’s got a plan, I improvise,
But rock ain't played by suits and ties!

Mike plugs in, makes feedback scream,
Calls it “tone,” I call it a meme.
He swears his solos shake the land,
But his hands shake more—he can’t withstand!

We should be asleep by now,
But here we are, we rock somehow!
One more song, then one more beer,
Proud and loud we still are here!

You press one key, a full band plays,
No fight, no sweat—just modern ways!
I bend my strings, I break my bones,
You sip green tea and check your phone!

Oh please, Rockstar, not so loud,
Last night you snored and shook the crowd!
You call my sound too clean, too bright,
But at least my back don’t ache at night!

We should be asleep by now,
But here we are, we rock somehow!
One more song, then one more beer,
Proud and loud we still are here!

My riffs still shake my hometowns sky!

My chords still make the neighbors cry!

Six strings, raw soul, full of might!

But my keys sound’s programmed right! (Here we go)

We should be asleep by now...

Come on, Mike, let's listen to the backing singers.

You should be asleep by now!

Oh Axel, put on your glasses, these are our wives.

You should be asleep by now! 
You should be asleep by now!

Alright, Axel, your keys ain’t bad…

And Mike, your solos (still) drive ‘em mad!

We battle, we clash, we push the fight,
But side by side, we light the night! 

We should be asleep by now,
But here we are, we rock somehow!
One more song, then one more beer,
Proud and loud we still are here!

     Howdy everyone and I hope everyone had a great Labor Day, without laboring of course!😂 This is another of my instrumentals, which actually had lyrics but the vocals were not recorded too well so I made it into an instrumental. It's about having that Las Vegas experience which I'm sure nobody can afford anymore with this economy unless you're a billionaire! I've been to Vegas many times and most times I've lost, hence the title "Lost Wages"! I'm not a gambler, so when I lose a couple of hundred dollars I start sweating profusely!!😂 It's a fast paced song and I played like a boogie-woogie synthesizer on it and a rock guitar. Charlie played a groovy harmonica on it too! I've decided to drop an instrumental and a cover song every month from now on besides my normal songs and videos. The video is the high-light so please check it out on YouTube.

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/DwZ-ISbz2g0

     The video was a lot of fun to put together and it's all about Las Vegas, the gambling, the show girls, the drinking, the excesses, pretty decadent stuff! There's is a lot of eye-candy here for the grown-ups to enjoy! It drops tomorrow on YouTube! The original song with lyrics was called "My Neck Of The Woods" so if Charlie and I rerecord the vocals, I'll make a video of it as well. I hope everyone enjoys this song and video and remember, don't gamble unless you can afford to lose a ton of money and are rich because it is an addiction! Last time we went to Las Vegas, back before the pandemic, it was for about a week and all we saw were the shows and never gambled, that was my favorite trip because I didn't lose a dime! But guess what? We're going back to Las Vegas in December 2025 to watch the new "Wizard Of Oz" spectacular in The Sphere! Check out the clips on YouTube, it's really mind-blowing! No gambling!! Take care and good luck! 😎✌🏼

PIPI DANS LE JARDIN
UN CHIEN QUI ABOIE AU LOIN
LA LUNE POUR TÉMOIN PAS MOINS
MOI JE FAIS PIPI DANS LE JARDIN

PIPI DANS LE JARDIN
DEPUIS QUE TOUT GAMIN
MAMAN M’A DIT PIPI AU LIT C’EST PAS BIEN
MOI JE FAIS PIPI DANS LE JARDIN

PIPI DANS LE JARDIN
ARROSER LA ROSÉE DU MATIN
JE SAIS ÇA PISSE PAS LOIN
MAIS C’EST BON PIPI DANS LE JARDIN

PIPI DANS LE JARDIN
JE N’IRAI PAS PLUS LOIN
CAR ICI COMMENCE LE DÉBUT DE LA FIN
LES HUILES SONT AU PARFUM
LE MONDE SENT LE SAPIN
ET PUISQU’ON N’Y PEUT RIEN DE RIEN
MOI JE FAIS PIPI DANS LE JARDIN

PIPI DANS LE JARDIN (Lyrics)

In the dusty attic of his grandfather’s old house, Dan, who suffers from insomnia, finds a yellowed parchment in the middle of the night. Part of the old eccentric’s legacy? Long ago, he had roamed dark forests, crossed deserts, and explored inaccessible mountains.

The parchment shows, though only faintly, a location in El Caramar — the legendary place his grandfather had told so many stories about. Without delay, Dan sets out in search of further clues. The route leads across the storm-lashed Horka Sea, inhabited by dark creatures. Upstream, through narrow gorges, he must face the natives who guarded the entrance to El Caramar and the secret it conceals.

This purely orchestral music draws on the clichés of film scores from the 1980s to the 2000s. Instead of a clearly recognizable theme or leitmotif, I tried to express rapidly shifting moods through specific instrumentation.

A gentle melody with harp arpeggios immediately transitions into a menacing rhythmic section with chromatic harmony, followed by a tension-filled passage with a strong element of aleatoric writing. The now accelerating tempo leads to the main motif but shifts directly into an action-packed part with string staccatos.

The motif is then varied and played at half speed by solo strings, taking on a very sorrowful tone. But then the mood turns serious. Low brass and a string ostinato lead to the climax of the piece, another variation of the theme in which the choir joins in at full volume.

Sideways

Hearing shots again
What can be done?
Sometimes it feels
like there is no room for reason.

In the days of punk
'79
Wine and dine, all seemed fine 
but times were changing

  Sideways down the slope
  Sliding into the rope

They pawned the truth out
and bartered the facts
These moodswings hit me sideways
no happy ending these days.

Cover my back, wipe the tracks
It seems wise, 
not to blow 
this disguise yet 

  Sideways down the slope 
  Sliding into the rope 

You cancel me
I cancel you
what we're gonna do now?
try to get out somehow

Fingers crossed
hope for the best
but prepare for the worst
in these present troubled times

  Scattershots matter not
  Sideways down the slope
  Sliding into the rope

Lyrics:

In your house you want to feel like home
If you can't feel it
You don't want to be there!
On your sofa you want to feel relaxed
If you can't feel it
You don't want to be there!

Mmm...Mmm...Mmm...Mmm

In your kitchen you want to make food
If you can't do it
You don't want to be there!
On a plate you want to serve something good
If it's not good
You don't want to serve it!

Mmm...Mmm...Mmm...Mmm...

In your bedroom you want to get some sleep
If you can't sleep
You don't want to be there!
In your bed you want to feel good
If you can't feel it
You don't want to be there!

Mmm...Mmm...Mmm...Mmm...

You Dont Want To Be There (Original)

So, our friend (assuming he really is our friend) is no longer alone at home. The work week is over, it’s been a hard one. Maybe for both of them: for him, and for the woman now leaning out the window. There’s a touch of unease in the air, and it’s not necessarily connected to how things are going between them. Maybe something is about to happen. Or maybe not. The only sure thing is that they’re not interested in finding out.

This is the fourth in a series of eight easy, acoustic, rather short, and deliberately inconclusive tracks, assembled by combining new ideas with reworked older material, adding parts and sounds along the way. This time I struggled to make it to the end, adding and removing, changing and restoring and working to the mix. I probably messed things up a bit (thirty recorded tracks, twenty of them muted...), but never mind.

In case nothing happens - part 4 (late afternoon)*

I have decided to take you into my studio lair for a peak into the cobwebs, corners and hidden nooks; the very mad-house of my thinking, or at least as best I can recollect the moments of……"Song Creation". I will use a single song to highlight my process. My friends and fellow song creators may recognize strands of their own process here, however, it is understood, that song formation has no right way or wrong way. It is as individual and eclectic as art itself. That is what keeps it fun. I will keep the write-ups short but will pile them on in increments until you or I have had enough. You can find these write-ups at this link: https://davidhusted.com/blogs/1-sleeping-softly-in-this-bed/posts/7601774/one-song-s-journey

Thank You

Song Lyrics
Eclipse
By David Husted


I'm trapped by a devil who controls the scrolling screen  
When I come back up I can't remember my name
so filled with dread cuz I'm waitin' on that judgement day
Swipe away this lonely pain

Tik-Tok, Reels and YouTube Shorts  
I'm jacked in, I can't abort
Cut this thread or waste away

Woke up on the sand with waves erasing your name
Eclipse, burning my eyes as she takes me to a higher plane
This veil of flames, and I don't know how much time remains
As daylight dims, this might be it
This might be it, will I taste the world again?

It's been three days since I threw my phone away
All went quiet but the tears and body shakes  
And the day light bows to the moon's deep blues
And in this mystery, I still miss you
 
Tik-Tok, Reels and YouTube Shorts  
I'm jacked in, I can't abort
Cut this thread or waste away

Woke up on the sand with waves erasing your name
Eclipse,  burning my eyes as she takes me to a higher plane
This veil of flames, and I don't know how much time remains
As daylight dims, this might be it
This might be it, will I taste the world again?

Gimme feat. Patricia Edwards-Papploviante

Echoes of the Damned is the sound of silence breaking — a candlelit communion where the ghosts of Hellmountain Records gather to breathe new life into the songs that defined their darkness. Led by Michael and Lilith of The Black Cross, the album strips away distortion and fury, revealing the soul beneath the noise.

Across fifteen haunting acoustic interpretations, echoes of Megadeth, Ghost, Mastodon, Alice In Chains, and Lynyrd Skynyrd intertwine with reimagined hymns from The Black Cross, Velvet Bone, Scarlet Groove, and Ethan Cole. Every performance bleeds honesty — wood, wire, and whispered confession.

Joined by Julian Vega, Joe Mercer, and Ethan Cole, each artist steps into the same dimly lit studio — their voices rising like prayers through smoke and dust. From Lilith’s ethereal power on “Satanized” to Michael’s weary redemption in “Simple Man” and their final duet “If You Have Ghosts,” the album becomes more than music — it’s remembrance, resurrection, and release.

Recorded live under flickering light, Echoes of the Damned is not merely unplugged — it’s undressed. A requiem for the damned, performed by the ones who survived.

Room 409 (The Black Cross Acoustic Cover)

“Sceptre of Mortal Sin” is a haunting protest ballad that confronts the futility of violence and the shame of humanity’s dependence on weapons of destruction. With stark imagery and a refrain that lingers like an unanswered question, it weaves poetry and lament into a powerful meditation on mortality, power, and the illusion of victory.

Sceptre of Mortal Sin

🎶 About My Music — DestKorn

My music tells stories without words—rooted in emotion, shaped by melancholy, quiet strength, and cinematic depth.
With piano, strings, understated electronics, and expressive vocals, I craft soundscapes that move you and leave space for your own thoughts.

Every piece is handcrafted: I write, arrange, and produce using professional virtual instruments and real elements.
I work with Spitfire Audio, Virharmonic, Kirk Hunter Studios, Native Instruments, EastWest, and 8Dio, combined with my own recording and sound-design workflow.

I use voice synthesis (ACE Studio) only in rare cases—specifically when no suitable singer can be found.
Whenever synthesis is used, I state it clearly in the track description.
It’s a subtle color, never a substitute for composition or expression, and always within a framework I fully compose myself.

The creative vision, the musical structure, and the emotion are 100% mine.
I believe in music that sounds real—because it is real.

Thank you for listening—and for feeling.

– DestKorn 🎶❤️🎶
