Lyrics
Stay with me  tonight
Won’t you hold me tight

Need to feel you Love
Fit me like a glove 

But don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone…tonight

Hold me in your arms
Don’t give me no Harm 

Take away my Breath 
With your tenderess

But don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone…tonight 
  
But don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone…tonight  

But don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone…tonight 

Love before all time 
Let’s say you’ll be mine   

Tell me that you’ll stay 
Till my diying day 

But don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone…tonight 

But don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone…tonight

Don't Leave Me Alone / Mike Kavanaugh

A bit of a muck around, put an old keyboard through a Boss Delay pedal to see how it sounds and built it up from there.  Enjoy

How It All Goes

Heroes de un nuevo día

Se está gastando el día,
de este invierno para atrás.
Una mano en el bolsillo,
el sonido al caminar.

Y caes de madrugada,
a la tibia soledad.

Se que te gusta volar,
hacia esa antigua melodía  
Que te anula la razón,
y te hace imaginar.

Se padece y se termina,
ese amor que fue fugaz    .
Héroes de un nuevo día,
te vienen a rescatar.

cuando ves que ya no hay nada,
y el corazón no da más.

Y si una puerta cerrás,
deja otra abierta.
Para que cuando regrese el amor,
lo puedas atrapar.


Letra y musica: Pichy Sotomayor

Lyrics by Andrea Brennan
Music, vocals and production by Johnny Klues

Verse
I tried to climb the mountain
it was just too tall
My dreams were out of reach
And I began to fall

I hit the ground running
But soon I lost my way
Now yesterday is dead and gone
But I still have today

Pre-chorus
With bridges burned
and lessons learned
At long last
I can heal my past
I'm a Phoenix that's
Rising from the ash

Chorus
There's a change in me I see
I'm a full moon in the dead of night
An uncut diamond in a Kimberlite pipe

There's a change in me I see
I'm broken glass in a kaleidoscope
I'm dynamite that's ready to blow

Verse
The journey ahead may be bumpy and long
But a tailwind's blowing, steady and strong
I set a course and then spread my wings
On top of the world, I can do anything

Pre-chorus
With bridges burned
and lessons learned
At long last
I can heal my past
I'm a Phoenix that's
Rising from the ash

Chorus
There's a change in me I see
I'm a full moon in the dead of night
An uncut diamond in a Kimberlite pipe

There's a change in me I see
I'm broken glass in a kaleidoscope
I'm dynamite that's ready to blow

Outro
I will soar (I will soar)
Higher than before (Higher than before)
I will soar (I will soar)
Higher than before (than ever before)

RUNAWAY STARS - THE UNEXPURGATED CODE

We have a duty to be here
Without us
Who'd see the runaway stars
Who could walk along the beach
Look for seventh waves
And feel the wind up high
We sit and talk all
Through the night
Travel our world and share our castaway finds

We have a duty to be here
To hear the song
Feel the heart of forever
Burning holes within black holes

There is a reason
To turn the page
Quantum runes feed today’s exit phase
We burned new colours
On Launchpad Love
In earthquake sofas seeking twigs from the dove

We are the runaway stars
We are the runaway stars
We are the runaway stars
We are the runaway stars

Inside our bubble
We heard your tongue
Repeating echoes paraphrase the song

Break

We burnt new colours
On Launchpad Love
In earthquake sofas seeking twigs from the dove

And we have a duty to be here
Without us who would see the runaway stars

Solo

Without us who'd see the runaway stars

And we have a purpose
To exist to hear the song
Feel the heart of forever
Burning holes within black holes

Don’t lay down and rest now
Lift your head
The stars change colour as they drift past your bed
The Sun is expanding
Eternal night
May return to shield our escape flight

We are the runaway stars
We are the runaway stars
We are the runaway stars
We are the runaway stars

And we have a duty to be here
Without us
Who would see the runaway stars
Who would see the runaway stars
Who would count the runaway stars

Runaway Stars - The Unexpurgated Code

The Feathered Crown is a card of pride, loss, and the aftermath of hubris. It draws upon two rich veins of folklore — the Appalachian belief in a feathered crown found beneath a dying person’s pillow, and the ancient myth of the Sirens and the Muses. Together, these stories form a layered symbol of reckoning, the echoes of lost glory, and the burdens of victory.

In Appalachian tradition, discovering a tightly woven feathered crown in a pillow was often seen as a sign that the soul of the deceased had passed to heaven, a mysterious mark of spiritual judgment. In mythology, after the Muses defeated the Sirens in a singing contest, the Sirens were stripped of their wings as punishment for their arrogance. The Muses, triumphant, wove the plucked feathers into radiant crowns — symbols of their victory but also of the destruction they wrought.

This card stands at the intersection of triumph and regret. It speaks of victories that come at a cost, the spoils of conquest weighed down by lingering guilt or sorrow. The Feathered Crown reminds us that success without humility invites ruin. It asks whether our pursuits of recognition or superiority are worth the burdens we carry in their wake.

LYRICS
---------------------------------------
I saw your feathered crown, the one you keep under your pillow
Did you think that you could hide it from me?
As you don your supple plumage, tell me did you win it truly
From the fairest maidens of Persephone?
Are your songs of grief and woe, are they songs of deep regret?
With feathers plucked from silvery Sirens wings?
Or from the tails of rainbow ravens perching just outside your window
Waiting for the passing ships to hear them sing
Waiting for the passing ships to hear you sing

Dashed upon the rotten rocks of harpy limbed nightingales
Where tides resound with death inducing cries
As the sailors climb and clamor for a seat upon the razor
And a melody to cling to as they die
Rejoicing in the arts of their inglorious ease,
Freely frolic where the churning waters flow
Diving from the clifftops, splashing down into the seas below
Charming in both poetry and prose
Alluring in both poetry and prose

Whosoever dare to wear the feathers in their hair
Like the parrot and the magpie in a cage
That we may divert our stare from the circling of the bear
While standing proud upon the heavens final stage
When the starry sisters nine, with their bellies full of wine
Have bested you at your own foolish games
And the ships all passing by which now leave you there to die
Having never even known your given names
Having never even known your real names

I saw your feathered crown, the one you keep under your pillow
Did you think that you could hide it from me?
Oh, Josephine, you should have known better.

The Feathered Crown

Don't say you love me don't say you care
And be so far away
Telephone communication only a three minute elation
When I hear your voice

Through love and trust it's gonna work out fine
The only pain I feel is all this time
Between you and me, you and me

All the days have turned to years
Only emphasise my fears since you've said goodbye
I can hear your voice at night
I can read the words you write it's only love

Through love and trust it's gonna work out fine
The only pain I feel is all this time
Between you and me, you and me

Instrumental

Through love and trust it's gonna work out fine
The only pain I feel is all this time
Between you and me, you and me

Through love and trust it's gonna work out fine
The only pain I feel is all this time
Between you and me, you and me

One More Time

Sail Across the Sea by Dave Hanrahan

Пожалуйста, только не домой

This is an old home recording from the late nineties. 

*** CORRER NA PRAIA ***

Neste azul poente, ao sol, ao vento brincam ondas, 
luzimentos que não faz qualquer sentido alguém biografar.
Mesmo o túnel mais perfeito nunca teve um nome,
nem retrato de família que as ondinhas queiram recordar.

Tanto mar!...
Eu também sou movimento que se vai quebrar
nas margens do esquecimento deste imenso mar.
Beija-me perdidamente, antes de eu voltar
a surfar o firmamento lindo...

Vem ler poemas dos helénios
escuta o canto dos milénios
das trirremes que passaram de regresso ao lar.
Vê, quando abraço a areia quente
eu abraço tanta gente 
que deixou suas pegadas à beira do mar...

Tanto mar!... (etc.)

E, se escutares a minha prece,
explico-te a extinção da espécie
que um dia se esqueceu de se multiplicar.
Quimicamente és tão perfeita
que a mente não aceita
seres mais um castelo de areia à beira do mar.

Tanto mar!... (etc.)
