Why is this love still haunting me
Reflections that echo through time
The girl I loved from yester-year
I knew she would never be mine

Can see the sunlight in her eyes
The wind it blew through her hair
My mind I see her haunting smile
For me she would never care

I cant let her go 
She seeps through my soul
Like wine spilled on the floor
This ghost from my past
Her spells been cast
Makes me want her more amour

I gave away my love too soon
Nieve I played like a fool
I showed her every card I had 
Instead of playing it cool

Lost Amours - Patersongs/DDJohn collaboration (SCO-FRA)

Can you tell me what art is? I used to avoid that question, considering it to be a distraction from actual art making. Well, that was half a decade ago. Now, I think I got an answer (at least one for these bizarre times).
Art is what we do, and I don't mean the finished painting, the printed book, the .wav file of this track (that's the art product, but you can disagree). Art is the work of making it, the moments of expression, the struggle, the process, the self-doubt, the joy of learning, of discovery, of creating, even if nothing concrete comes from it.
In that sense, anything we do can be art, and I honestly think it may be. To make art is to live, and the artist at work is simply one living true to themself. 
And we can all be artists.
Just live and let live.

The Artist at Work

L-August Improvisation

Пробовал сделать этот трек так, чтобы было похоже на катание на колесе обозрения: размеренный монотонный ритм, мелодия постепенно забирается выше и выше, и не менее постепенно опускается вниз, туда, откуда все начиналось 🎡 // I tried to make this track so that it would be like riding a Ferris wheel: a measured monotonous rhythm, the melody gradually climbs higher and higher, and no less gradually descends back to where the movement began 🎡

Помимо прочего, это заключительный трек с моего EP // Besides, this is the final track from my EP

A summer rain can be associated with cleansing – just as it washes dust off the streets, it may symbolize moments of renewal and emotional release in life. It can also evoke unexpected changes that, although initially seen as obstacles, bring freshness and new perspective. Finally, its gentleness and fleeting nature may remind us of the beauty of moments worth cherishing before they pass. 

Letni deszcz może kojarzyć się z oczyszczeniem – tak jak deszcz zmywa kurz z ulic, tak w życiu może symbolizować momenty odnowy i uwolnienia od emocjonalnego ciężaru. Może też przywodzić na myśl niespodziewane zmiany, które choć początkowo wydają się przeszkodą, przynoszą świeżość i nowe spojrzenie. Wreszcie, jego delikatność i ulotność mogą przypominać o pięknie chwil, które warto doceniać, zanim przeminą. 

La lluvia de verano puede asociarse con la purificación: así como limpia el polvo de las calles, puede simbolizar momentos de renovación y liberación emocional en la vida. También puede evocar cambios inesperados que, aunque al principio parezcan obstáculos, aportan frescura y una nueva perspectiva. Por último, su suavidad y fugacidad pueden recordarnos la belleza de los momentos que vale la pena apreciar antes de que se desvanezcan.

Summer Rain

We used to know how to read a room
Knew exactly what to say…
Now we’re divin in too deep
Never losing any sleep
in the bed we made

We used to take the time 
To see another point of view 
Now we toe another line
Like a party to a crime
In the bed we made…

Driving home
so alone
the streets on fire
Winding down
to the sound
it seems so dire

Why did you have to come around
as if you’ve made some kind of grade
My ears don't want to hear 
Now would you please just disappear
in the bed we made

Driving home
so alone
the streets on fire
Winding down
to the sound
it seems so dire

The Bed We Made

lyrics

You talk about me yeah
You said that I was the problem
You told your friends that
You said that I wouldn't holla
We texted everyday
We talked whenever
You talk about me yeah
You talk about me
They believe the words you say
They believe I'm not here to stay
They believe the words you say
I'm packing my bags today

I thought you loved me
I really thought
I thought you loved me

When I can't sleep at night
It's you I'm yearning for
Why can't we get this right
I'm trying to not walk out that door
Stop talkin bout me
Stop saying the bad things that you say
Stop talkin bout me
Stop saying that things won't go our way
Let's try one more time

I thought you loved me
I really thought
I thought you loved me

I Thought Wrong
