The background for the inspiration of course is Homer and the tales on the Trojan war. But Kassandra does not tell a story – it’s a kind of a painting with an ancient scenery or maybe just a sketch: Kassandra in front of the burning city. And it could be a modern painting. We are in a distance of more than 3.000 years to the plot of the ancient tales – and still mankind has Kassandras and tears in front of burning cities.

Working on Kassandra i had in mind from the beginning that Cindy will take the main voc in this song. So i wrote the harmonies and the song structure with that in mind and i love how she sings the song. Kassandra also includes a few notes played with a Greek Baglamas and helps the song to get a special note. This string instrument is the small sister of a Bouzouki. 

lyrics:
on sungod days in the morning dew
the tears of kings are just a few
meaningless rain drops

we keep that fire burning
until the tide is turning
and the ships are grounded

in the golden light of the afternoon
she is dancing like the queen of doom
she blinks into the sunlight

we keep that fire burning
until the tide is turning
we watch the flames rise higher
we keep that fire burning
until the tide is turning
we watch the flames rise higher
into the sky
into the sky

Gone With The Flow

Bandcamp

Kassandra

When I hear your name I cough
You've spoilt my life enough
Your vocal chords took off and just got higher
Higher

If I could erase you sure I would
But the memories were good
Its not a bad childhood
But its not mine
Minors beware

CHORUS
If you hear the rumour mill
And the nagging doubts there still
Don your fancy cap and frills
Peeping through the window sill
Controversy served on a dish
You can sue me if you wish
But the scandal tastes delicious if you fish

A very distinct style
I'd spot you from a mile
Its written in my file
That caught on fire
Fire

At the thought of you I retch
I'm doing a nude sketch
So try hard not to letch
To pass the time
Timer

CHORUS

Fish

Still working on developing a jazz vibe – this one is in A flat Major and has a bit of a soul-jazz flavor.

Intro
You can cross that bridge tonight
See what’s 
On the other side


Verse 1
I can help you down
To get your feet back on the ground
It’s your life

Refrain
a bridge to something new
Feel the life inside of you
It’s a bridge to something new
It’s your life

Verse 2
Don’t let the sun go down
Before you turn this thing around
It’s your life

Refrain
It’s a bridge to somewhere new
Feel the life inside of you
It’s your life
it's your life
it's your life

it's a bridge to something to new
it's all waiting for you
it's your life


outro
see you out on seventh street
you’re the one they want to see 
so good to see you on your feet

it's so good to see your face
hanging out around this place

it’s your life….
It’s your life….
It’s your life…

The bridges

Creatures and plant life evolve but the worlds vaguely the same
I've a short shelf life
I've been the heir to fortune just in name

Picture a princess
Picture such a beauty as you wish
Though I may confess
I've picked up the most tasty dish

CHORUS
And I will always feel the same through pain and thunder
And I will always feel the same
And I will always feel the same until you cast me asunder
A chance to run dear as I'll always feel the same

Sat at a table staring gormless at your eyes
The best I'm able I'll lift you up into the skies

A voice mesmerising
It suits the accomplished written hand
You are so tantalising
I've a different wish than originally planned

CHORUS

The Same

Dedicated to all the wankers of the world.

The Greatest Show On Earth

A little toned down and slower. Hope you like!!

WE'VE ALL MESSED ABOUT

TIMES  CHANGED SO FAST

REMEMBER THE WAYS OF THOSE DAYS

I DON'T BELIVE IN MUCH
AND WHAT'S ABOVE
UNTILL THAT STAR
FELL UPON YOU
(chorus)
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE

SOMEDAY WE'LL BE GREY
ROCKING IN THE SHADE
LOVING EVERYDAY
I HOPE IT'S WITH YOU

LIFE IS FULL OF LUCK
THEN YOUR NUMBERS UP
DON'T WISH FOR MUCH
IF YOU HAVE LOVE
(chorus)
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE
I'M TAKEN TO THIS WORLD
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE

AGING (Lyrics)

For my Mom and the town I'm from
Oh I came from old east Boston - an Italian Neighborhood - Where i made the best of being a vagabond - Hand me downs were a plenty i think i wore them till i was twenty - Cause in my household you better get it before it's gone - Woke up high went to bed the same you know this lost soul stuck in the game while mom was pinching pennies i was robbing them - I thank the lord for her turning a blind cheek her life was oh so bleak yet I'm that kid who coveted all from them - Half my life in another town - but that Eastie Noise comes spinning round this old man's head all that he's become - and i still can hear my mother say my son my son its all ok cause i have seen the soul that you'll become
Oh i come from old east Boston where the noise was kept to a hush and whether you were were ten or forty you were seasoned and obedient  and your dad rushing down the street to spill his blood at your feet i aint got much but that's something to hold onto
Woke up high went to bed the same you know this lost soul stuck in the game while mom was pinching pennies i was robbing them - I thank the lord for her turning a blind cheek her life was oh so bleak yet I'm that kid who coveted all from them - Half my life in another town - but that Eastie Noise keeps spinning round this old man's head all that he's become - and i still can hear my mother say my son my son its all ok cause i have seen the soul that you'll become
Half my life in another town but that Eastie Noise keeps spinning round this old man's head cause that Eastie Noise is my Mom

Alive Again

A hauntingly melodic protest song wrapped in analog warmth. Tribal pulls no punches as it explores political division, fragile love, and the psychology of ideological drift. Jazzy seventh chords and vintage guitars underscore the story of two souls caught in a cultural crossfire—still close, but barely holding on.

💙❤️ Drop into the tension. Stay for the groove.

LYRICS-
One two three more times

And I can feel my nub grow

Will you be my valentine

Watch me as I row 

Across the river on a boat

Look at the moon

Look at the sky

Take a nubbie feather flight

Right into your eyes

And I can fly

Momma always said

I'm a chicken tender

No arms no legs no brains no better

Then your daddy who took your limbs away

Still haven't heard from him since that day

He asked if you could come out and play

Hung you from a tree by the lake

Everybody thought it was a mistake

When they saw you hanging from the tree with no legs

Where'd his arms go

Nobody knows

Nobody knows

Where'd his arms go

Nobody knows

Nobody knows

Put your nubs up

Put your nubs up

Get down on your stump and then get up

Find true love

Get a tight butt

Not until you have a bloody nub

LYRICS-
Used to be nothing
Now I am something
Please don’t push my buttons
Cause I’ve been running
From the things
That make this real
And I have had enough of it
Cause I’ve been trying
Not to feel
The consequence of
Always wanting more of this
And I’ve been chilling all day
Let them pave the way
So I might as well wait
Two feet in the grave
Four blunts to the face
Six shots and I’m awake
You got the best of me
The rest of me
Can’t carry on no
You got the best of me
The rest of me
Can’t carry on
Your high
So high
When you see
Imaginary state troopers
At the end of the road
Your high
So high
When you die in your car
Cause you reach
For your phone on the floor

Song for Anna - Instrumental * new version 2021 with added guitars

After our first collaboration - https://soundcloud.com/markjbennett/set-me-down-that-road-rplanesmjbennett - Rodolfo offered me a challenge in the form of a decades old song (in a folk/pop style, complete with tape hiss) that he was updating with a platform that is closer to R&B and my task was to come up with a new lyric. This original break-up song had an air of a happy ending to it, though initially I chose to write something less optimistic… however it became clear that with the new arrangement my words had to match the original mood. The added bonus to this is that I now have another break-up song lyric available for the future.
Singing a song that had already existed in another form meant that I had to find a very personal interpretation in order to make it truly mine. A huge thanks to Rodolfo for sharing his inspiring music with me.

I don't know what I've done wrong?
I don't know why you have gone?
Though I hope some day,
When I whisper your name,
We'll be together.
But today's too soon.
When I think of you, I dream.
Yet still, I'm a stranger,
Yet still, I'm a stranger in your heart.

Sometimes I feel like a fool.
Never knowing whether you'll,
Give me hope some day,
Still I call your name.
We'll be together.
Is today too soon?
When I think of you, I dream.
No longer a stranger,
No longer a stranger in your heart.

Atmospheric Entry (feat. Valezka Meeroff)

I used to have real pure skin
Till all the puss and stuff set in
Now I've got a face full of spots
People take the piss quite alot
When I was on my summer vacation
I had my first true erection
I'm emotionally insecure
I don't feel like a kid no more

CHORUS
No No No
What a bad situation
I can't stop this facial invasion
Who would show affection
For a man with a Fungai complexion

The other day I saw this blonde
For the first time I was turned on
But I couldn't pop the question
Cuz I felt that my face was a-festering

CHORUS

WHEN WILL THE DAYLIGHT COME
THERE'S NO MORE SKY LIVING INSIDE
WHEN WILL THE LIGHT COME ON
WHEN YOU GET HOME   A FLASH OF LIGHT

BUT LIFE WILL PASS US BYE
AND NEVER SAY GOODNIGHT
NO KEY TO THE OTHERSIDE

WHICH WAY DOES THE RIVER FLOW
IT'S LOOKING REAL DRY EXCEPT WHEN I CRY
THE MOON AND THE SUN WILL RISE
AND EVERYDAY   THEY CALL YOUR NAME

A LIFE OF RIGHT AND WRONG
A NEVER ENDING SONG
NO KEY TO THE OTHERSIDE
(Break)
THE TICKING OF TIME GOES BYE
THE MEMORY LANE IS FADING AWAY
THE WAVES ARE ALL CRASHING DOWN
AND EVERYDAY HAS NO NAME

SO LIFE WILL PASS YOU BYE
THE PUNISHMENT FITS THE CRIME
NO KEY TO THE OTHERSIDE
