A great song and a very cool lyric to meet the theme for the competition. Love those tiny pauses before the chorus. The bridge is really fab too - a power pop feel to me. A really terrific ending too! The song is beautifully produced and mixed and I wish you lots of success in the competition!

timeless hooky charm, hearing many influences here...2:15...love that:)  Guitar outro slays!

This is excellent , so hooky and great vocals

im still wondering which song you mean... but I like this tune. its more indie than I expected

Lyrics

Like every morning,
I turn on the radio,
like every morning,
Bad news makes the show,
depressing grayness,
absent brightness,

war wins everywhere,
the climate change,
floods everywhere,
drought even stranger,

Before it's too late,
let's sing of love,
before it's too late,
let's pray to the lord god,
let's forget this nightmare,
let's stop all these wars,

Alone glimmer of hope the Music

Some think a hero is someone who fights for something. Fair enough. I think a hero is someone who keeps working against the odds. You know. Stone uphill pushing man. Bananas.

Music for bananas - Hero

This track is my submission for the latest round (3) of the 'Spintunes' songwriting competition. The challenge was to write and record a song about or prominently mentioning a song (or other piece of music). In this instance my song within the song is the ‘one hit’ of the title. Essentially, the “Oh my, oh my love” refrain. Does that fulfil the brief? No idea.

LYRICS

You were a one hit wonder
In the summer, 1985
Your voice on the radio
All the TV shows, it felt like you’d arrived

Oh when the crowd sung, “Oh my, oh my”
Oh when the crowd sung, “Oh my, oh my love”
But you can’t go back
No, you can’t go back again

You were unstoppable
Untouchable, or so the label said
Then when the album tanked
Your fortunes sank and man, they cut you dead

Oh how the crowd sung, “Oh my, oh my”
Oh how the crowd sung, “Oh my, oh my love”
But you can’t go back
No, you can’t go back again

Some days, in the bathroom mirror
You catch your reflection
And wonder was that really me
But every now and then
You still get asked the question
Hey, did you sing that song
The one from long ago
It went “Oh my, oh my love”

You were a one hit wonder
Until the summer, 2025
The kids started playing your song
Dancing along, ‘cause it made them feel alive

Oh now the crowd sings, “Oh my, oh my”
Oh now the crowd sings, “Oh my, oh my love”
And it takes you back
Yeah, it takes you back again

“Oh my, oh my love”

Axel invited me to take part in this wonderful piece, and with great joy and high respect I was able to enjoy it. Great praise to Axel and his work.

Es ist nicht alles Gold

Er ging mit Gold, doch ohne Lächeln,
der Weg war weit, der Schritt war schwer.
Was glänzt, blieb fremd in seinen Händen –
als ob da noch was andres wär.

Er tauschte Gold für etwas Ruhe,
für Schritte ohne Druck und Ziel.
Er nahm nur mit, was leicht geworden,
und ließ zurück, was ihm zu viel.

Es ist nicht alles Gold, was glänzt,
nicht alles wahr, was du erkennst.
Was du verlierst, kann dich befreien,
der Weg wird leichter ohne Stein.

Kein Zögern, keine großen Fragen,
kein Rechnen, was ihm bleiben muss.
Er nahm das Leichte in den Tagen
und ließ das Schwere einfach los.

Er kam nach Haus mit leeren Händen,
doch niemand nahm, was er gewann.
Was andre suchten, ließ er liegen –
und ging mit leichtem Herzen dann.

Es ist nicht alles Gold, was glänzt,
nicht alles wahr, was du erkennst.
Was du verlierst, kann dich befreien,
der Weg wird leichter ohne Stein.

Und du – was trägst du durch dein Leben?
Was hält dich fest, was macht dich klein?
Vielleicht ist Loslassen kein Fehlen,
vielleicht kann frei sein einfach sein.

Es ist nicht alles Gold, was glänzt,
nicht alles wahr, was du erkennst.
Was du verlierst, kann dich befreien,
der Weg wird leichter ohne Stein.

Not Everything That Glitters Is Gold

He walked with gold but without a smile,
the road was long, his steps were slow.
What shone felt foreign in his hands –
as if there was something more to know.

He traded gold for a bit of peace,
for steps without a goal or strain.
He only kept what had grown lighter,
and left behind what brought him pain.

Not everything that glitters is gold,
not everything you see is true.
What you lose might set you free,
the road feels lighter without the stone you threw.

No hesitation, no great questions,
no counting what he had to keep.
He took the lightness of his days
and let the heavy things just sleep.

He came back home with empty hands,
but no one took what he had found.
What others sought, he left behind
and walked with heart unbound.

Not everything that glitters is gold,
not everything you see is true.
What you lose might set you free,
the road feels lighter without the stone you threw.

And you – what do you carry through your life?
What holds you down, what makes you small?
Perhaps letting go is not a loss –
perhaps to be free is all.

Not everything that glitters is gold,
not everything you see is true.
What you lose might set you free,
the road feels lighter without the stone you threw.


Es ist nicht alles Gold

Recorded with no sense of quality control

I AM LOST

I am lost, 
staring into a void,
Fingers twitching, 
voices ranting, endlessly annoyed.

I am lost,
Can't seem to get a single thing done.
Mind is empty—
Nothing, no one.

Will I be found, alive or drowned?
Secrets scattered all over the floor,
An empty room
 behind an open door.

I am lost,
Lost yet in plain sight.
Heart still beating,
Moving slowly—takes all my might.

Older, fatter, dim-witted, and a bore,
I am lost,
Can't go on anymore.


I am lost

LAST TRACK from RELIQUIAS LP: hard rock, symphonic-like ending, and recalls of "Qué fácil decir", little to do with it's PIANO SESSIONS' version; that's all, by now...
https://soundcloud.com/esemanolain-ruizzo/gritos-de-cristal-piano-version
ÚLTIMO TEMA DE RELIQUIAS: rock duro, final en plan sinfónico, y recuerdos de “Qué fácil decir”, poco que ver con su versión de PIANO SESSIONS; aquí lo dejo, por ahora... 

Lyrics/Letra:

Mi cuarto vacío, 
un colchón desnudo y un radio-cassette.
Tu leve sospecha,
mi leve princesa quiero conocer.

Es el marco ideal para gritos de cristal. 
Es el marco ideal...
para gritos, para gritos, para gritos de cristal.

El frío de fuera
enciende la hoguera, dejas de temer.
La ropa en el suelo,
el sudor del cielo moja mi placer.

Es el marco ideal para gritos de cristal. 
Es el marco ideal... 
para gritos, para gritos, para gritos de cristal.

Gritos de cristal (Es el marco ideal)

I have loved and respected trees all my life, drawing, painting and photographing them through many decades, and now I am learning to carve, which is a beautiful experience.
A couple of months ago while walking in our local park, which is full of mature trees, I sadly saw that they had begun cutting down a big Oak tree (probably 100-150 years old). I heard that it was too near a new adult play area, and then probably diseased. I felt a bit of me being ripped out. It stands at the moment as you see it in the photo, as the Lockdown came, and all activity ceased. 
So much has to change now, and we have to totally understand just how vital things like Trees are. We would struggle to exist without their strong network, above and below!
Duir is the old Celtic Ogham for Oak, much loved and respected by the Celts, as were many trees, giving life to our World, connecting and providing so much.
Stay safe everyone, and try to keep loving and caring <3

Lyrics
Hear me now
Hear me now
Hear me now
As they cut me down
From the Sky

Stop this now
Stop this now
Stop this now
Ripping me out of this earth
That connects all life

You'll never listen 
Till it's all gone
And even then
You'll blame and hate
Forging on, your greed, your power
Your ignorance, your weapon,
Your Fate

We give you life
We give you life
We give you life
Your evolution
Entwined in our limbs

Please search inside
Search inside
Search inside
You would'nt exist
Without our presence here

Please listen
Don't let it all be gone
Find ways of dealing with your hate
We cannot help you
If you disconnect our Worlds
Don't let your ignorance
Seal our Fate
