A song about running towards something / running on empty / running out of time...perhaps

Lyrics
Am I running towards something that’s not worth fighting for
or maybe leaving behind the best love that I ever knew
no I’m not saying that I’m perfect I know nobody is
the trouble is I always thought that I just loved you
yeah I just loved you

Still we’re here and the now and told sometimes that that’s enough
Just what time will heal this break inside my melted heart
I know you let me hide inside our tears you always shed for me
But what If only we’d taken that break from the very start
our very start 

Cos I saved your world again from the demons in your head
I gave up my space and time just like I did our bed
I thought I heard you call my name it was an angry echo instead
Was nothing more than the nothingness of an angry echo instead

Then I saved your world again from the demons in your head
I gave up my space and time just like I did our bed
Thought I heard you call my name it was an angry echo instead
Then you scream at me that I’m to blame
So you can hang me out to dry
Pouring down your pity metaphors
Cos the similes you just can’t abide
Draining me of my excitation
Plugging angry gaps with why
I’m not sure you’ll like my answers
But let’s give it a try
No need for your poisoned reply
No RSVP lies 
And no RSVP why
Cos I saved your world again
yeah I saved you 
then I saved your world again
and your world again
then I saved your world again 
yeah I saved you 
cos I saved your world again 
then your world again   
I keep saving you (repeated)
But who’s gonna save me


Running (saved your world)

Another track from My 4th Studio Album. This Moment.

Recorded, Mixed, Mastered and Produced by Mike Bryant.

This Moment

Close Your Eyes

i’m already 
goin’ down
to the end of the story now
wind is blowing
to the end of the story now

come away   come away

time is bending 
drifting down
spin the hourglass all around
pulverize it
spin the hourglass all around

i’m comin’ after 
i’m comin’
i’m unembodied
i’m free

i’m already 
leaving town
train is rounding the mountain now
got my ticket
train is rounding the mountain now

come away   come away

Pee Gee           :    Lyrics

Yesterday Is Long Ago

Now the night is fading
The dawn is yet to come
A new day is waiting
All bad dreams are gone

Time to leave..you told me
In your own personal way
You made your point clear
Come back and make my day

There is a way of turning the wheel
Yesterday Is Long Ago
Today is now ..today is real
Yesterday Is Long Ago

They say that time will heal
The wounds if you can wait
Today is now.. today is real
Never ask ..is it too late?

Let us begin the dance
Whirling into the future
Taking another chance
Holding you tight forever

There´s a way of turning the wheel
Yesterday Is Long  Ago
Today is now..today is real
Yesterday Is Long Ago

There´s a way of turning the wheel
Yesterday Is Long Ago....................

Yesterday Is Long Ago ....

Yesterday Is Long Ago

'universe of fun (in utero)'

Verity. We like verity. Music delivers us verity. It's like a universal tool to hone and send verity to our heads as therapeutic wonderfulness...

We are very proud to present the first of many organically grown collaboration between One Man Verity Show and The Beautiful Dark. This was effortless. I guess thats the other amazing thing that real musicians can share... For years we stare through our instruments at the world of music and then someday we connect and the visions combine. We'll keep comparing our world to the world of fake music until it is the fad that it should be... AI cannot deliver you a connection like we just started. You may get a remotely similar result but heres whats real... AI has never has our eyes to look at the woerld for 40 odd years with and it never will. Heres to real human connections and real music. Cheers Scotty

Lyrics

To fungi moulded brain
Ha, who said we'd go insane!
To moderation main
Lined musical brain plane

To psilocybin liberty cap
Old medicine love to fill knowledge gap
Hallucinogenic conscious calm
Serves melodic thought through mouth and palm

We let finger run
Good psilocybin
Add to the birdies fun
Just doppler effect to dumb
One day, we'll all catch on
Sign ourselves to sound and sum
Good, self inflicted
Pure positive prone
Liberties begin to clone
We spread and hone
Bottoms up good planet of one

Let the fingers run
Run 'em for the Sun
Moon rise dear man
Flashbacks from fungi fun
The Universe we stun
Universe of fun

universe of fun (in utero) (with the Beautiful Dark)

🎧🖤✨ For the quiet rebels, the dreamers, and the ones who never quite belonged.

****Lyrics****

They said I should’ve burned out by now
Guess they forgot what I’m made of
Guess they forgot…
I light myself

I used to beg for space in the silence
Played nice with the hands that held me down
Bit my tongue ‘til it learned to sharpen
Now every word’s a match I strike on the ground

I’m made of matches
Not built to bend
You tried to drown me
But I breathe flame again
I break in sparks
I heal in smoke
I’m not your lesson
I’m your ghost

You said I’d thank you when I’m older
Well I’m older now
And colder now
Built this fire on your ashes
Lit it with your doubts

I’m made of matches
Not built to bend
You tried to drown me
But I breathe flame again
I break in sparks
I heal in smoke
I’m not your lesson
I’m your ghost

You called me reckless
Called me broken
But I was just unfinished
And now I burn
With intention

I’m made of matches
Not built to bend
You tried to drown me
But I breathe flame again
I break in sparks
I heal in smoke
I’m not your lesson
I’m your ghost

Guess you forgot
I light myself

Made of Matches (Forever Strangers)

The idea for this song came to me randomly while driving down some backroad a few years back, and I recorded the initial idea spur of the moment. For whatever reason, the rather morbid theme came out in the process and I just went with it. Nat is a daring soul and surprisingly encouraged that we record it and with her considerable help we fashioned this recording. Notable is that Nat has taken on the ability to add some beautiful pedal steel guitar throughout the song using her well established keyboard skills and this first run at it was very satisfying. Let us know what you think!

Lyrics:
It took me a while to believe it
If you’re stuck in a bad place, you leave it
And I was that place, that she had to erase
A place that suited me just fine

Then one day I put away my rosy glasses
As I waited for her to come back home.
But watching dust settle, 
On the couch and the kettle
I could see it was me, that made her have to leave
Me to build this coffin home of mine

Yes, I’m building a coffin to live in
Surrounded by forests of green
‘Cause if I ever knew love, 
I guess that I threw love
Away with the girl of my dreams

Well, it don’t feel like living, without her
Though the sun still shines brightly through the pines 
I can tell I have a pulse, 
But my heart has tested false 
If only I’d seen the warning signs

It’s the simple things that seem so complicated
Thought I knew what I should do, to make it 
But then the ship that sails, 
Leaves you pounding coffin nails
Now it’s, twenty-four seven, this coffin that I live in
With all the “could have beens” that it confines

I’m just building a coffin to live in
Surrounded by forests of green. 
‘Cause if I ever knew love, 
I guess that I threw love
Away with the girl of my dreams

Pounding away, day after day
Waiting for the girl of my dreams
Someday, she’ll be back

A Coffin To Live In

Endless steps beneath my feet they wind and twist and sway
The higher I go the more they seem to slip away
A staircase built of dreams that crumble as I tread
Each step a story written in the places I have fled

The air grows thin with questions I can't seem to solve
Every answer breaks apart as the riddles evolve
I chase the sun but shadows whisper on my back
The summit disappears into a fading track

Endless steps.mp3

150. Bright with you .m4a

Once settled in Artica Point, almost frozen, I watch the world happening fast, and I tell you about by singing five verses with different vocal styles, a main instrumental theme in progress all along, and some bits of the other songs in the album to keep it conceptual ;)

Letra  /  Translated Lyrics:

DESDE AQUÍ (HISTORIA CONTEMPORÁNEA)  /  FROM HERE (CONTEMPORARY HISTORY)

Ahora que estoy aquí congelado,  /  Now I’m frozen here,
observo el mundo por internet y radio.  /  I watch the world on internet and radio.
Todo sucede ahí abajo tan rápido,  /  Everything happens so fast down there,
que se aprecian claramente los cambios,  /  that changes are clearly appreciated,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Con mis constantes vitales al mínimo,  /  With my vital signs down to a minimum,
como viviendo una película,  /  like living in a movie,
soy capaz de comprender el mecanismo  /  I am able to understand the mechanism
de la evolución de nuestra civilización,  /  of the evolution of our civilization,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

El frío que congela mi cuerpo  /  The cold that freezes my body
… … no me permite llorar,  /  … … doesn’t allow me to cry,
pero mi corazón sigue caliente muy adentro, en algún lugar,  /  but my heart is still warm deep inside, somewhere,
y puedo al menos entristecerme por lo que veo al mirar  /  and I can at least feel sad about what I see when I look
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Ahora que lo comprendo todo  /  Now when I understand everything,
entiendo que todos somos iguales,  /  I realize we’re all the same,
que sentimos lo mismo aunque ninguno lo sabe.  /  and we feel the same although no one knows it.
Desde aquí me identifico con cada hombre,  /  From here I feel identified with every man,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Desde aquí me alegro de no estar ahí abajo.  /  From here I’m glad not being down there.
Esperaré a ver qué pasa dentro de cien años.  /  I’ll wait and see what happens a hundred years from now.
Mi cuerpo apenas será un poco más viejo,  /  My body will hardly be a little older,
pero sí cumpliré siglo y medio de sabiduría y tristeza,  /  but I will get a century and a half of wisdom and sadness,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.
