Summertime Vibe

A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING 
(c) 2025 Cooper/Jones

There’s a first time for everything 
Were the last words he spoke 
Who knows what tomorrow might bring 
When the darkness sheds it’s cloak
I doubt it will bring solace I doubt it will bring joy 
A woman now but I was still
His little girl holdin’ her toy 

There’s a first time for everything 
He laughed as he taught me to swim  
Don’t be nervous, just jump right in
Were the right words from him  
Grab life right by the throat  
And don’t ever let it go  
I always heeded his advice  
And last night I told him so 

There’s a first time for everything 
He whispered as he held my son 
His features slowly softening 
As proud as anyone
He was grateful for each new day  
He believed he’d been blessed 
He worked hard and he played hard  
And now he’s earned his rest 

Late into the evening
Surrounded by his loving folk 
There’s a first time for everything
Were the last words he spoke 

There's A First Time For Everything

I NEED YOU NOW
2025 Cooper Jones

I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
You better get here quick, and I don’t care how
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
‘Cos you’re the bee’s knees baby and the cat’s meow

I tell you what I’m dealin’ with
A fierce deep-rooted feelin’ with
Only one conclusion
And you’re the one solution (stop)

I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
You better get here quick, and I don’t care how
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
‘Cos you’re the bee’s knees baby and the cat’s meow

An overwhelming sensation
Craving for pure elation
Is consuming my whole being
I know what would stop me reelin’

For this kind of fever
You are my pain reliever
Don’t need a diagnosis
Just you in great big doses
 
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
You better get here quick, and I don’t care how
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
‘Cos you’re the bee’s knees baby and the cat’s meow

Instr.

I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
You better get here quick, and I don’t care how
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
‘Cos you’re the bee’s knees baby and the cat’s meow


I Need You Now

Dean R. Chandler – “Bay of Biscay”
Genre: Ambient Psychedelia / Cinematic Electronica

Step aboard the Bay of Biscay, a spellbinding sonic voyage where alien skies meet earthly waters. Dean R. Chandler weaves a rich tapestry of ambient textures, cinematic pulses, and subconscious storytelling in this atmospheric masterpiece. With thunder rumbling in the distance and gentle waves echoing beneath ethereal synths, the track creates an immersive soundscape perfect for deep listeners, cosmic wanderers, and seekers of the beyond.

Balancing emotional depth with mystique, Chandler captures the awe of alien visitation not with fear, but with reverence — as if Contact itself emerged mid-sail under starlight. The production is both subtle and expansive, drawing on influences from Pink Floyd’s meditative spaces to the more transcendental fringes of Brian Eno or Jon Hopkins.

This is music for night skies, spiritual awakenings, and late-night headphone rituals. Whether you're drifting off the coast or deep within your own consciousness, Bay of Biscay guides you to the edges of this world—and gently nudges you into the next

Lyrics

Verse 1
Something is here tonight
I can now feel its coldness Walk to me
It looks, sad behind those eyes Then it smiles

Verse 2
It said,
“Everything I have seen,
every place I have wondered, shows the same, somethings never seem to change. There’s no time”

Bridge 1
“There, is more to your reason There is more to see with your eyes But not with fire and the glory It’s love that shows you the light”

Chorus
“Hold my hand, we can fly over land
I’ll make you understand
What is wrong, with the things that you’ve done Show you, where you’ve gone wrong”
It is time
You must now understand, the making of our plan You’re the one, like a father to son
Show you what now must here be done”

Verse 3
Now I am left dark and cold
I’m broken by my confusion
I’ve now seen, and heard, the ghosts and many screams Of our time

Verse 4
I say
“This is our time to change
Buts everything I will tell you Breaks the pane, I know, I now look insane But are we blind?

Bridge 2
Listen, there is more to our reason There is more to see with our eyes

Chorus
So, hold my hand, we can fly over land
I’ll make you understand
What is wrong, with the things that we’ve done Show you, where we’ve gone wrong”
It is time
You must now understand, the making of their plan I’m the one, like a father to son
Show you what now must here be done”

Track Review – “In The Search For The Gods” by Dean R. Chandler

In “In The Search For The Gods,” Dean R. Chandler takes us on a cinematic voyage through sound — a meditative, expansive, and deeply emotive journey that blurs the line between the spiritual and the extraterrestrial.

From the first shimmering swell, the track invites the listener into a vast sonic cosmos. There’s a sense of awe woven into every ambient texture, as if the music itself is staring into the unknown, questioning everything — divinity, reality, humanity's place in the stars. The production is lush yet restrained, offering moments of stillness that breathe and echo, much like the mysteries the track is exploring.

Layer by layer, the soundscape builds with hypnotic clarity. Subtle synths, ambient drones, and distant echoes create a gravitational pull that is both haunting and beautiful. The journey is not linear — it floats, drifts, and occasionally confronts the listener with the weight of the existential. It’s the sonic equivalent of looking up at the night sky and realising how small we really are.

Part spiritual meditation, part sci-fi soundtrack, this is music that asks questions rather than giving answers. It’s a moment of reflection in the grand narrative of Dean’s upcoming album Human Odyssey, perfectly capturing that elusive tipping point between faith and first contact.

For fans of: Hans Zimmer’s Interstellar, Jon Hopkins, Moby’s ambient works, Sigur Rós, and spiritual ambient-electronic.

IN SEARCH OF THE GODS

 

 
VERSE 1
So can someone tell me?
Was she a vision?
Or is she God?
I’ve never seen, anything quite like it
I’ve never felt there’s anything else
But something inside is shining a light

VERSE 2
Time, is not on my side now
As I search the land of the Gods
I, I feel you beside me
With tears as I burn in the sun

CHORUS 1
I will sail, a thousand miles
Just to be, with you a while
I will fly, all through the night
I have seen a truth in light 

VERSE 3
So why was I chosen?
Am I the one?
And is this love?
I’ve never felt, anything quite like it
I had lost a reason to live
A life not feeling had no meaning

VERSE 4
Then, you heard me screaming
You felt my shame
My angers fading
Now, I have seen the lie of man
VERSE 5
I’ll search the darkness
I’ll search skies
Nothing will keep me 
From you, your soul, my guiding light 

CHORUS 2
I will sail, a thousand miles
Just to be, with you a while
I will fly, all through the night
I have seen a truth in light 

*MIDDLE INSTRUMENTAL BREAK*

CHORUS OUTRO - SPLIT
I will sail, a thousand miles
So can someone tell me?
Was she a vision?
Or is she God?
Just to be, with you a while
I’ve never seen, anything quite like it
I’ve never felt there’s anything else
But something inside is showing the lie of man

KEY CHANGE
And I will fly, all through the night
Just to be, with you my child

LEFT THE DREAM RUNNIN’

Got no reason to feel fearful
But I do yes, I do
Got no reason to feel tearful
But I do yes, I do
I’ll get shot, not by a bullet
But that trigger, if you pull it
‘N put a hole straight through my heart
‘N tear my life apart
 
 I’m hopin’ that you won’t
 I’m prayin’ that you don’t
 
So, I left the dream a-runnin’
And we can jump back in
Yeah, I left the dream a-runnin’
And we can get crackin’
Just say the word
And we’ll save the world
From spinnin’ off its axis
Into eternal blackness
Or decide that you’re still comin’
I left the dream a-runnin’
 
Got no reason to feel stressed out
But I do yes, I do
Got no reason to express doubt
But I do yes, I do
Are you plannin’ an attack
To plunge a knife right in my back
‘N leave me lyin’ on the floor
‘N turn around and slam the door
 
I’m hopin’ that you won’t
I’m prayin’ that you don’t
 
So, I left the dream a-runnin’
And we can jump back in
Yeah, I left the dream a-runnin’
And we can get crackin’
Just say the word
And we’ll save the world
From spinnin’ off its axis
Into eternal blackness
Or decide that you’re still comin’
I left the dream a-runnin’
 
Throw me a lifeline, reassure me
Put my mind at ease
Show me a sign that truly, surely
The dream’s alive, oh please
 
So, I left the dream a-runnin’
And we can jump back in
Yeah, I left the dream a-runnin’
And we can get crackin’
Just say the word
And we’ll save the world
From spinnin’ off its axis
Into eternal blackness
Or decide that you’re still comin’
I left the dream a-runnin’
