A Celtic Folk song with a country twist on losing love. 

Standing by the ocean
Watching you leave
You're the most beautiful soul
I coukd not believe

As I stand here and watch you go
What's happened to put love
Sent from up above. 

You come around here with that face
Then you leave without a trace
Just coming, going. leaving baby
leaving without a trace. 

Standing by the western shore
I see you're home once more
I'll give it another try
And see if you stay here a while

But you come around here with that face
Then you leave without a trace
Just coming, going, leaving baby, 
Leaving without a trace. 

I'll never go there again
Go down that road
Cause in my heart you left a hurricane 
And there's a fear that I might just go insane. 

You come around here with that face
Then you leave without a trace.
Just coming, going leaving baby
leaving without a trace

But you, come around here with that face
Then you leave without a trace
Just coming, going, leaving baby
Leaving without a trace. 

Standing by the ocean, watching you leave.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
As the sun streams through gaps in the shade,
my brain comes back on-line.
With the world in focus, my happiness fades.
I hear lives being lived just outside.
l could just lie here waiting for the night.

[Pre Chorus]
Solitarily confined...to this life…to this life

[Chorus]
I'm on the edge looking at my,
black hole mind.
No light escapes from my,
black hole mind.
Will I spin forever through all,
space and time.
Trapped in the depths of my,
black hole mind.

[Verse]
Whatever won't kill you, they say.
One day at a time, they also say.
But they're not here with me today.
The quote of the day won't help, anyway.
Don't know how I got in this dark place.

[Pre Chorus]
Is there no one else out here…in the cold deep space.

[Chorus]
I'm on the edge looking at my,
black hole mind.
No light escapes from my,
black hole mind.
Will I spin forever through all,
space and time.
Trapped in the depths of my,
black hole mind.

[Bridge]
Got a text late in the night...it said
Hey, hope you're doing alright.
Just a little bit of hope,
knowing I'm not out here all alone.

[Chorus]
I was on the edge looking at my, 
black hole mind.
No light escaped from my,
black hole mind.
And a hand extends across all,
space and time.
Pulled me from the depths of my,
black hole mind.
I was on the edge looking at my, 
black hole mind.
No light escaped from my,
black hole mind.
And a hand extends across all,
space and time.
Pulled me from the depths of my,
black hole mind.
It pulled me from the depths of this black hole mind.

Black Hole Mind

A boy rings a great bell at the mountaintop, sending out everyone’s hopes into the sky.
As sunlight breaks through the dawn, angels descend to bless his courage and new beginnings.
This track is a new edit of one of my previous works. Thank you for listening.

Bell of Hope for Tomorrow (New Edit)

Driving bass & drums, a hooky guitar riff and great vocal lines.  Simple but effective.

Precious

WITHOUT YOU expresses an intense dependence on someone who feels irreplaceable, portraying love as both a lifeline and an obsession. It captures the struggle of trying to move on while being constantly pulled back by memories and emotions that refuse to fade. The lyrics reveal vulnerability, longing, and the inability to imagine life without that person, framing them as the center of existence. It’s a powerful declaration of love’s grip, where absence feels unbearable and presence defines identity.

LYRIC

Verse

Every day I wake, I still hear your name
Like a song stuck deep in my veins
Tried to move, tried to play it cool
But I’m falling hard, like a reckless fool

Pre-Chorus

You’re the reason that I lose my ground
When you’re not near, I spin around
Don’t tell me it’s just a phase
I’m caught in your magnetic haze

Chorus

I can’t live without you, no way to pretend
You’re the start of every moment, the place where I end
I can’t breathe, I can’t fake it
This is real, I can’t shake it
I can’t live, I can’t live without you

Verse

Every room I walk through feels too wide
You were the pulse that fit inside
No map can guide me from your trace
I still see your face in every place

Pre-Chorus

Told myself I’d be just fine
But you’re the frame to my broken line
You’re the spark that lights my fire
The only name I still desire

Chorus

I can’t live without you, no way to pretend
You’re the start of every moment, the place where I end
I can’t breathe, I can’t fake it
This is real, I can’t shake it
I can’t live, I can’t live without you

Bridge

I’ve tried to rewrite all our lines
But every word still leads me back in time
You’re the rhythm I can’t replace
Still feel your hand, still see your face

Chorus

I can’t live without you, no way to pretend
You’re the beat that never ends
I can’t breathe, I can’t fake it
This is real, I can’t shake it
I can’t live, I can’t live without you
No, I can’t live, I can’t live without you

Without You

Dark nights, ghostly shadows, cobwebs, trick or treat 👻 

Pumpkins grinning wide Sharp-tooth smiles 
Ghosts floatin' in the midnight aisles 
Shadows crawl Creep and twist 
Is it real or just a Halloween trick? 

Pumpkin parade Ghost charade 
Laughing' loud in the masquerade 
Spooky funny Crazy scene 
Welcome to the Halloween dream 

Black cats screech The witches fly 
Moon's cracked open in the bleeding sky 
Skeletons dance 
Their bones click clack Candy in my hand 
Monsters at my back 

Pumpkin parade Ghost charade 
Laughing' loud in the masquerade 
Spooky funny Crazy scene 
Welcome to the Halloween dream 

Creeping' laughter in the air 
Cobwebs tangle everywhere 
Tricks or treats Take your pick 
Halloween madness Dark and slick 

Pumpkin parade Ghost charade 
Laughing' loud in the masquerade 
Spooky funny Crazy scene 
Welcome to the Halloween dream

LYRICs:
When it’s me and it’s you
It’s trouble we get into
But we don’t leave any proof

We light it up burn it down
‘Cause you’re too hot for this town
You shine the brightest around

CHORUS
You’re slick
Keeping me myself honest
It’s my mind but you’re on it
Holding me to my promise
You’re slick

VERSE2
You look good on my arm
You’re good at playing the part
Good thing that I’ve got your heart

You’ve got that je ne sais quoi
You got what every girl wants
Breaking hearts like the law

CHORUS
You’re slick
Keeping me myself honest
It’s my mind but you’re on it
Holding me to my promise
You’re slick

VERSE3
We go together so well
We’re just like heaven and hell
If I’m a witch you’re the spell

You call me mademoiselle
As we walk out the hotel
My lipstick on your lapel

VERSE4
So let’s raise up a glass
Here’s to Slick and to Sass
Getting their love at last

CHORUS
You’re slick
Keeping me myself honest
It’s my mind but you’re on it
Holding me to my promise
You’re slick

Slick

Heavy Touch

[Verse 1]
You pull me in like fog
slow and unforgiving—
every kiss a confession
every touch a sin I’m still living

I gave you my silence
you turned it into a cage—
love drips like honey
but burns with a bitter rage

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t want an ordinary night
I don’t want a love that fades in the morning light

[Chorus]
Heavy touch on my skin
wrap me tight don’t let me go—
this is no ordinary ache
it’s the fire I can’t escape
heavy touch dark and true
I drown but I still want you

[Verse 2]
Promises taste of iron
sweet lies laid bare—
you break me soft
and I still find comfort there

I beg for more than fragments
but your shadow is what I hold
your love is the wound
and the cure I can’t let go

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t want to beg but I still remain
dressed in your sorrow bound to my faith

[Chorus]
Heavy touch on my skin
wrap me tight don’t let me go—
this is no ordinary ache
it’s the fire I can’t escape—
heavy touch dark and true
I drown but I still want you

[Bridge]
Give me something real
not just your disguise
I’ve carried your hunger
I’ve carried your lies
still — I stay
still — I crave
still — I fall where shadows play

[Final Chorus]
Heavy touch on my skin
wrap me tight don’t let me in
This is no ordinary ache
it’s the fire I can’t escape
heavy touch torn in two
I drown but I still want you
