Whispers of the Heart

Between the beats

A flamboyant electric blues track offering a current political perspective on issues about being clear on vision, values and principles - writing them down. Then on reflection and comparison to the vison, values and principles, finding out that some current governance structures are completely out of whack, to the point that it is reasonable and accurate to describe some governments as: criminal organisations masquerading as democracy. 

Lyrics:

When you write it down...
Write it down...

Asked a simple question—what do we stand for?
Turns out no one's written it down before
Democracy, liberty, rule of law
Sounds quite nice... until you check the score

Words of meaning are set ablaze
They twist the script, while we're in dismay

When you write it down, write it down
All the deceit is revealed in the light
When you write it down, write it down
All the lies start raining down

Million dead in Iraq, all based on lies
Anti-genocide groups are now the bad guys
Peaceful protest gets you fourteen years
While war criminals polish their careers

Can’t name the group or I might get nicked
For terrorism—that’s how truth gets fixed
They made opposing genocide a crime
While funding it with your tax and mine

When you write it down, write it down
All the deceit is revealed in the light
When you write it down, write it down
All the lies start raining down

4AM raids, for writing to your MP
About some kids getting killed across the sea
But sell the bombs and that’s just foreign trade
Democracy dies when we’re all afraid

So here’s your constitution, neat and clean
Now measure what they’ve done against what it means
The truth’s so mad you’d think it was a joke
If kids weren’t bleeding beneath the gun smoke

When you write it down, write it down
When you write it down, write it down....

When you write it down...
Write it down...

Write It Down

The street remembers, even when you forget. Proud, urban, slightly melancholic. Acoustic pulse, gospel lift, poetic grit

The Street Knows My Name

Fall Love

Empires of Bones and Guilt

A spoken-word lament and lyrical rebuke of a world that sells innocence for empire. Set against the backdrop of Gaza, the song tells the story of children lost to greed, of land stolen and renamed, and of plazas built upon the graves of the forgotten. It speaks of governments and tycoons who pave over history with wealth, rewriting memory to serve ambition. But beneath the marble, the voices of the silenced rise. The lyrics mourn not just the loss of life, but the moral collapse of those who claim to lead. It is both an elegy and a prophecy, a warning that no empire built on bones and guilt can stand forever. The earth remembers. Justice does not forget.

Empire of Bones and Guilt

Feel it coming on

Un hommage à ceux qui ont porté le monde avant nous — et à ceux qui essaient encore d’en comprendre le poids.

Une balade nostalgique, où le passé murmure à travers les tiroirs.

Nostalgie

A rhythmic, soulful groove that turns writer’s block into a dance-floor confession. Smooth vocals ride a warm, pulsing beat while the melody sways between vulnerability and uplift. Soulful, groovy, and irresistibly rhythmic — a track that moves your body while speaking to the creative struggle deep inside.
