Holy s#!t.... If I had the talent, this is the kind of song I’d like to sing. So badass.

I love that one. Best song you wrote this summer imho

60s rock it is..my timeframe and it is done well..like the lyrics..we need to pay attention to what is happening ..don't listen to the devil..or there will be hell to pay..guitar sounds great..I know what you mean by a line dropping from heaven and making a song. weird but it happens

Gritty hooky goodness,  it’s so satisfying when those bandied about ideas come together, Hell to Pay was clearly the right choice!

Beauty's Lament.

Sk    Beauty's Lament

It's the season when the trees start to grow lush and green, and the birds and insects start to appear and become lively. 
It feels somehow refreshing, and like something good is going to happen.

TESTO
Confuso galleggiava 
Cercando la sua strada 
Pensando a quel sorriso
Di quando era partito 



E la notte non passava
Col vento un po’ sospeso
Parlò col primo uomo
Lasciandolo sorpreso
Sai perché sono qua 
Il sogno mi rende libero 
Lo so non mi giudicherai 
Siamo due storie da scrivere 


E quanta storia da scrivere
Per chi come te 
Non vive mai
Quanta ne scriverai 
E adesso dei sogni ti occuperai 





Lo so per te è strano 
Ma non sei tu il
Fallito
Soltanto per il fatto
Che non mi punti il dito 
Non mi hai guardato male 
Né dall’alto al basso
Sei solo inciampato 
Come molti sul mio passo





Sai ti ho capito già
Sei uno con troppa sensibilità 
E non sai quanto , quanto ti costerà 
Ma quante pagine che scriverai 



Quanta storia da scrivere 
Per chi come te
Non vive mai
Quanta ne scriverai 
E adesso per i sogni combatterai 



Ma in fondo sai
Siamo simili 
Ma non hai ancora perso come me
Chissà se questo mondo mi ricorderà 
Chissà se questo incontro ti servirà 


Quanta storia da scrivere 
Per chi come te
Non vive mai
Quanta ne scriverai 
E adesso per i sogni combatterai

LYRICS
He floated bewildered
Searching for his way
Thinking of that smile
From when he had departed
And the night wouldn't pass
With the wind somewhat suspended
He spoke with the first man
Leaving him surprised
Do you know why I'm here?
The dream makes me free
I know you won't judge me
We have two stories to write

And so much history to write
For someone like you
Who never truly lives
How much will you write?
And now you will take care of your dreams

I know it's strange for you
But you are not the failure
Just because you don't point your finger at me
You didn't look at me badly
Not from top to bottom
You just stumbled
Like many in my path.
You see, I already understand you
You're someone with too much sensitivity
And you don't know how much, how much it will cost you
But how many pages you will write

How much history to write
For someone like you
Who never truly lives
How much will you write?
And now you will fight for your dreams

But deep down you know
We're similar
But you haven't lost like me yet.
Who knows if this world will remember me
Who knows if this encounter will serve you

How much history to write
For someone like you
Who never truly lives
How much will you write?
And now you will fight for your dreams

La Storia Da Scrivere

Rise

... ascending or descending, stock prices, empires, lifelines ... Column granite is really hard stuff ;-) ... descending chords and ascending melody lines, on the other hand, are of the ephemeral variety ;-) ... anyway, please have fun ... and always stay on top <3 ..... this track is entirely my work, the nice Iceland photo by Connor Dugan on unsplash

We don't have much - Niewiele Mamy - Short 2013 - 2023

Soaring above the world, floating in space, flying through clouds and over the moon on a magic carpet is the context of this composition.

Over the Moon

I've had the first three lines of this one knocking about for absolutely AGES. But whenever I found myself idly strumming the chords, I just couldn't work out a final pay-off line. 'Judgement day', 'toll to pay', 'time to pray'. All these options were tried and discarded. And then... well, it was so bloody obvious. The idea of 'Hell to pay' suggested some kind of Faustian pact, which meant all the other words fell into place super quickly. Funny how one line can unlock a whole song...

Musically, I wanted to get a 60s, beat music vibe going. All the guitar parts were played on my friend Fareed's gorgeous Custom Shop Telecaster through his Lazy J amp, both of which I'm babysitting at the moment, and through a trusty SM57. I don't know if that made it sound better than my normal setup, but I certainly felt cooler than usual playing it 😎

LYRICS

I call my baby on the seventh day
Tell her everything that I gotta say
I can’t keep looking the other way
When there’s hell to pay

I talked to the devil by the state highway
The devil told me everything'd be ok
I shoulda known better, shoulda run away
Now there’s hell to pay

Take my money
Take my pride
But don’t take the love
That is rightfully mine
I’m begging for deliverance
But it don’t make no difference this time

Right from the moment I signed my name
My run of bad luck, well it started to change
But I was saving up trouble for a sunny day
Now there's hell to pay

Take my money
Take my pride
But don’t take the love
That is rightfully mine
I’m begging for deliverance
But it don’t make no difference this time

And then one day an angel crossed my path
With wings of gold just like the sun
I hoped she'd save me from this fiery wrath
But it was always borrowed, now my time has come

I call my baby on the seventh day
Tell her pretty soon I'll be moving away
Where I'm bound? Well, I cannot say
‘Cause there's hell to pay

Oh there's
Hell to pay, hell to pay...
I'm sorry baby, but there's hell to pay

Hell To Pay

Let's not make ourselves feel sad, and bad
Because if we make ourselves feel sad, we feel bad.
