Hi everyone. This song gets to one of the hardest issues of the heart, our own self-righteousness. When we judge ourselves by our own humanity, we may look pretty good, but when measured against the moral law (10 commandments), we all fail, and that's the point. Only Jesus was perfect. We all broke God's moral law and Jesus paid the fine when He gave His lifes blood on the cross for you and me. Repent and trust in Him alone to save you because of His perfect righteousness. ( We like Ray Comfort, with Livingwaters. com) Proverbs 14:12
V.1
Have you lied, ever stolen? Simple as it seems
Your soul will be required of you
Tag
Guilty or innocent? X3
Guilty!
Chorus
There’s a way that seems right to you and me (guilty!)
In the end, it's the way of death (guilty!)
None are righteous. All condemned.(guilty!)
Come to repentance or be found guilty
V.2
Please forgive me, for I have sinned
I repent of all my ways
Tag guilty or innocent. X3
Bridge
Don't be deceived
Be found innocent
Bow before the King of Kings 
Repeat Chorus

Guilty

A Bittersweet Romance

ONE THING I KNOW

by David Snyder

V1

I got a 67 beat up truck
My daddy gave to me
So I could drive across America
To find the one I need to see
He said I messed up when I let you go
Bought my freedom with misery
And  these rusted chains around my heart
Just won’t let me be
You sent me that letter from Tulsa
The address is easy to read
And your phone number’s written on my arm
Right underneath my sleeve
 I got one last chance to save my life
If I don’t drive too slow
And I can get to you by daylight
And just stay on this road

CH

One thing I know
This kind of hurt can kill 
And I’ve thought about it a million times
It’s just the way I feel
All my other words were meaningless
But these five words are true
I am driving to ask forgiveness and
I will always love you

V2

See freedom’s  a lot like peace of mind
That one thing’s for sure
Cause you don’t even know what it is
‘Til you don’t have it anymore
And I’d trade in all my yesterdays
For one night in your arms
Please give me one tomorrow
Just to tell you I was wrong

CH

One thing I know
This kind of hurt can kill 
And I’ve thought about it a million times
It’s just the way I feel
All my other words were meaningless
But these five words are true
I am driving to ask forgiveness and
I will always love you

BRIDGE
And the sun is coming up
And I’m just about to turn
I’m thirty miles from being saved
So these tires are gonna burn

CH

And One thing I know
This kind of hurt can kill 
And I’ve thought about it a million times
It’s just the way I feel
All my other words were meaningless
But these five words are true
I am driving to ask forgiveness and
I will always love you

BobH  and I had a "I love us" day a week ago where we just listen to things we have done in the past. We came across this one. It was recorded in 2010.  All I did was extract the vocal and do a couple of minor tweaks. Bob's brother-in-law SteveS is singing the lead vocal, Bob is playing the acoustic rhythm guitar, and BiaB is supplying the drum and string tracks.  I am playing everything else.  I could not locate what BiaB style was used back then.  Note that the reverb was recorded with the vocal so I couldn't change that.

There is nothing like an old song at the start of a new year!


Is this Just A Dream

From The Ashes

Created in response to:

quiescence!
touching not the blossoms,
temple bell's voice

Naviar Haiku challenge 580, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

I used a combination of the probabilistic generative instrument Ongaku from Giorgio Sancristoforo; https://www.giorgiosancristoforo.net Ongaku is just over half way down the page. And Voltage Modular from Cherry Audio: https://cherryaudio.com/products/voltage-modular I experimented with running Voltage as a plugin which allowed me to run it in parallel with Ongaku and make a single "Live" performance, the downside to this was that I couldn't assign physical controls, all mouse and window flipping.

The bell samples used at the beginning and which reappear later processed through granular synthesis and multiple delays are my own recordings.  

Quiescence-(naviarhaiku-580)

when excitement hits you 1:09

Queer as Manchester tells the everyday story of queer life in the city — the nights out, the chosen family, the struggles, the laughs, and the moments that quietly shape you.

This is the chapter where I’m Still Breathing first lived — and that matters. Because beneath the music and the movement, this is also about mental health, about reaching out, about friends checking in on each other when things get heavy. About staying when it would be easier to disappear. About being seen.

There are hard moments here — because real life has them — but this is ultimately a story of survival, care, and community. Of finding your people. Of dancing through it anyway. Of Manchester being Manchester: tough, kind, loud, loving, and unapologetically queer.

If you’re listening and you’re struggling — you’re not alone.
And you don’t have to carry it on your own.


7, I'm Still Breathing

Couplet 1
La ville m’éteint doucement
Dans un ciel d’encre, sous le vent
Je marche au bord du sommeil
Le cœur ouvert, sens en éveil

Couplet 2
Des ombres étranges me parlent bas
De lendemains que je ne vois pas
Des silhouettes dansent sur les murs
dans un ballet sombre et obscur

Couplet 3
La nuit s’étire, le ciel me traine
Dans une mémoire si incertaine
Je ferme les yeux et je dérive
Des caraïbes jusqu’à Bélize

Refrain
Perdu dans les bras de Morphée
je rêve en bleu et en dorée 
Je glisse dans l’ombre et la douceur
j’oublie les heures et la douleur

je vis des songes qui me transpersent
Comme un espoir, une promesse
Je rêve en grand mais à voix basse
Que la grisaille sombre et s’efface

Couplet 4
Des visages flous sortent des brumes
je les regarde sans amertume
Leurs voix se glissent jusqu’à moi
me parlent d’ailleurs et d’autrefois

Couplet 5
Le temps se plie et se défait
Je suis l’avant, je suis l’après
les rêves qui défient ma raison
me font traverser les saisons

Couplet 6
Une lune étrange marque ma peau
De lignes droites, de signes jumeaux
elle fait disparaître les peurs
et redonne vie à tout mon cœur

Refrain
Perdu dans les bars de Morphée
je rêve en bleu et en dorée 
Je glisse dans l’ombre et la douceur
j’oublie les heures et la douleur

je vis des songes qui me transpersent
Comme un espoir, une promesse
Je rêve en grand mais à voix basse
Que la grisaille sombre et s’efface

Couplet 7
L’aube qui hésite derrière moi
Me montre le jour, me montre la voie
elle me tient comme suspendu
entre le doute et l’absolu

Couplet 8
Je sors des rêves à pleines mains
Comme des secrets des temps anciens
rêves oubliés, de ceux qu’on tait
qui marquent une âme à tout jamais


Couplet 9
et quand le jour frappe à la porte
Le soleil gagne et me transporte
Je vois plus loin, je vois plus fort
mon avenir est pavé d’or

Refrain
Perdu dans les bars de Morphée
je rêve en bleu et en dorée 
Je glisse dans l’ombre et la douceur
j’oublie les heures et la douleur

je vis des songes qui me transpersent
Comme un espoir, une promesse
Je rêve en grand mais à voix basse
Que la grisaille sombre et s’efface
