Puppy Love

Que nem dizia Djavan

Starman

An energetic young cat curiously searches for entertainment, while trying not to be detected by his foes.  He carefully & quietly searches for something small and furry to chase.

This is an instrumental folktronica song which incorporates hip-hop rhythms fused with acoustic guitar backed and by bold synths.  A touch of dark eeriness lends it nicely as a Fall / Halloween song.

Raise (Prod. Abyss Hole)


Chronic Condition is a punkish indie rocker with an irresistible beat and hook. Its about how the human experience the progress and setbacks, trials and tribulations, advances and declines of individuals and societies is like a feedback loop through time. The names and settings change, but the story always turns out the same. Its a chronic condition, just the latest rendition. Featuring a guest appearance by Elvis. 

Its a chronic condition
Just the latest edition 
Coming to fruition

We stand up and we get knocked down
And we stand up then we fall back down
Put it in a glass and swirl it around
And everything is turned upside down

I’m not depressed
I’m just realistic
I must confess
I thought about it and I worked it all out
I think I know what I’m talking about
The thing that fucks with your mind the most is… life

Yeah its life that really fucks with your head yeah!

I’m not broken
Just slightly damaged
And in spite of it
I somehow manage
To get by in this messed up, broke down world
The more I see the less I believe
The more I hear the less I care
The less I care the better I feel
Yeah that’s on the real yo
Yeah that’s on the real yo 

Maybe I’m jaded
And slightly cynical
But the evidence is empirical
We’re riding round in circles on a broken machine
I thought about it and I worked it all out
I think I know what I’m talking about
The thing that fucks with your mind the most is…  life 

I’m just nodding my head
Pretending to listen 
To what you say
Its the same old story and I’ve heard it before
And every time its always a bore
You change the settings and you change the names
But it always turns out the same
Its a random ass world
Full of random ass boys and girls
Living our random ass lives
We stand up we get knocked down
We stand up then we fall back down
Put it in a glass and drink it down
Cuz the world is upside down

Its upside-down yeah!

Humanity is overrated
And the world we made is oversaturated
With our stupid fucked up useless shit
The more we have 
The more we want
We can’t get enough of it
The more we have 
The more we want
Yeah ain’t that some shit

Its a chronic condition
Just the latest rendition

Chronic Condition - Defiantbutterfly

Rolling

Eighty miles past the county line
Gas light blinkin', I'm outta time
Dashboard glow and a lonesome hum
Radio fading like where I’m from
A sign flickers Vacancy Room for One
Just a ghost lit town under a no name sun
Pulled off the highway, heartbeat slow
Just me and the night and a need to let go

Somewhere between the lines and the lane
Where the road goes quiet and the sky looks strange
A place I found, but didn’t mean to stay
Caught in a dream I can't explain
I just closed my eyes for a little while
Now I’m stuck in a town that don't fit my smile
Just tryin’ to make it home tonight
Somewhere there between the lines

Lobby smells like smoke and rain
Bell rings hollow, front desk plain
Clerk with eyes like he’s seen it all
Said Room’s down back, next to the wall
Hallway whispers, time stands still
Each door’s a secret, each breath a thrill
Laid down heavy, dreams got strange
Like the town was a stage and I’d missed the change

Somewhere between the lines and the lane
Where the road goes quiet and the sky looks strange
A place I found, but didn’t mean to stay
Caught in a dream I can't explain
I just closed my eyes for a little while
Now I’m stuck in a town that don't fit my smile
Just tryin’ to make it home tonight
Somewhere there between the lines

I saw a girl in a diner booth
She sang a tune, low and smooth
Said she’d been here for a hundred moons
Waiting on a ride or a change of tune
Time moved sideways, clocks ran slow
Even my shadow didn’t wanna go
But the road calls back like a restless bell
And I left behind more than I could tell

Somewhere between the lines and the lane
Where the road goes quiet and the sky looks strange
A place I found, but didn’t mean to stay
Caught in a dream I can't explain
I just closed my eyes for a little while
Now I’m stuck in a town that don't fit my smile
Just tryin’ to make it home tonight
Somewhere there between the lines

Somewhere Between The Lines

"So Damn Lonely" by These Guitars Say Sorry is a stark, unvarnished piece that stretches across six minutes of near-painful intimacy. Armed with nothing more than an acoustic guitar and a raw, exposed vocal, the track leans into its own emptiness, letting the spaces between the notes speak as loudly as the words themselves. It's a slow, heavy exhale — fragile, stubborn, and unflinchingly honest.

So Damn Lonely by These Guitars Say Sorry

Little Ol Me Remix (Featuring Ruth Reid)

To the memory of the wonderful Roos.

Ian Collins @ian-211 helped a lot with the strings, piano, drums and production.
________________________

Rose, the story is being told that you won’t get old
I know it’s hard to see but there’s a light behind the trees, Rose
Your daddy was a friend of mine, though it’s been a long long time
Before the seasons changed and plans were rearranged

Like a seagull in the storm, you’ll take your lonely course
Ahead of the swarm, struggling with proud force
Despite your tattered coat your soul will stay unharmed and reach the sky

Solo

Little Seagull in the storm, with confidence and love
You will live on, down here below and up above
Despite your tattered coat your soul will stay unharmed and reach the sky

You don’t need to believe, but while the others grieve
Their love will guide you through and there’s one who’s waiting for you, Rose

Never Make Your Move too Soon [05.05.25]

Ah, lune.
You got me howling at the moon
You got me walking on eggshells.
You got me crying out so loud.
All my days.
Fly by. 
It's just an ointment for the fly.
It's just a moon beam in the eye.
Another reason to ask why.
Am I dreaming?

I just wish that I could be.
The man that I wanna be.
But, everything has beaten me through.
Pulled me down.
Off the Moon.
To the Earth.
I don't give a damn about.
All the things I went without.
What the hell was I supposed to do?
How about you?
Will you lift off to the Moon?

Ah, lune.
You got me singing out of tune. 
Bleeding out by the way side.
Searching somewhere for your light.
In this night.
I can't do right...

Ah, lune. 
I don't care for you, baby.
I wouldn't want you to save me. Yeah.
I wouldn't ask you to stay.
All my days are grey.

While I am too blind to see.
All the things I wanna be.
One hand swings, the other hangs free.
Pull me down.
From the Moon.
To the Earth.
I wish I was setting too.
Something that I'd like to do.
But everything is broken and blue.
How about you?
Would you lift me to the Moon?

Ah, lune.
I lay here staring at the Moon.
What the hell am I to do now?
Fold up space and just go?
Too much to tow.
So, I just lay.
And, I a-wasted all my days.
I've got nowt meaningful to say.
and I don't mean it anyway.
Oh, my days...

I just need to work it out.
What is there to dream about?
When all their hands are reaching to you.
Trying to pull me down.
From the Moon.
Back to the earth.
You dont seem to care, I could 
Be, working for the greater good.
No matter what you say, I should do.
How about you?
Would you lift me to the Moon?

Lune

Lyrics

I'd walk the fields in dusty boots
With calloused hands and deeper roots
The stories carved in cedar bark
Still echo when the mornings start
I’ve walked the same path to the hill
Where time stands still, but I never will
Cause there’s a pull I can’t ignore
To wander out and seek some more

But I carry the dirt beneath my feet
And the voices in the winds I meet
The map may change, but the truth I hold
Is we all need roots, and we all need roads

I’ve seen the skyline kiss the plains
And danced beneath September rains
I’ve learned to bend, but never break
Like river stones in mountain lakes
Each mile writes a verse I keep
Tucked in my coat for when it’s steep
I don’t fear the long unknown
When I know just where I’m from and grown

Yeah, I carry the dirt beneath my feet
And the voices in the winds I meet
The map may change, but the truth I hold
Is we all need roots, and we all need roads

Let the seasons shape my name
Let the sunburn write my claim
Home’s not lost, it just expands
In footprints laid across the land

Still I carry the dirt beneath my feet
And the laughter in the friends I greet
The road runs wide, but my heart knows
The strength of roots, and the call of roads

So here I go, no need to choose
I’ve got sturdy roads and growing roots


We All Need Roads

I'm Sorry

Animals

You make me feel like an animal
Starving alone in an alleyway
Hoping that someone would show me love
Someone like you
But
You're not the type to go pet dirty dogs
You're not the type to show love to something unless if you're
Getting paid
Getting laid
Or
Trappin sad birds in your cage
Huh

You make my head rot
You make my heart hurt

You make me feel like a flea bitten mutt
Howling at the moon for a hug
Running from the people
Cause
The people kept hitting me

Tell me what's the right kind of love
If the right kind of love
Is when you love your abuser
More than you love yourself

Chivalry died with a cry not a yell
Tail between the legs
Running
Tail between the legs
How I know you're the worst kind of animal

All that I know
Is
I got used to looking at the ground
Because everytime I look up and look around
All I see is
Bodies
On bodies
On bodies

I got my head hunched over
All that I know
Is that the ground keeps growing
All that I know
Is that I'm throwing it up
Is that I'm throwing it up
Is that I'm throwing it up
Throwing up bird seed

See the dogs on a leash
Feel jealous

See the park
Through the chain link

They're smiling engaging
In a life that I have
Only in my sleep

I walk down the street getting yelled at
Occasionally there's some bread thrown

I see other dogs
They're not like me

They kill all the birds
I just retrieve

It doesn't make me feel good when I break their wings off
Does it make you feel good when you break their wings off
Huh

Does it make you feel good when you go from relationship
To relationship
To relationship
Where's your owner at
Well
She left her dog at the vet

All that I know
Is that this cage keeps getting smaller

All that I know
Is that I don't trust any of these bodies

They get mad at me for growling
Then they hit me when I throw up

But they're the ones that kept trying to feed me fucking bird seed
Not knowing
I was only ever just a bird dog

I guess it was my mistake for feeling sorry for the birds

🎭💔 “Not For Anything”  
Jinx sings not as a villain, but as a daughter grieving the only one who ever saw beauty in her chaos  and her imperfections

A thunderstorm of raw emotion and manic melody, “Not For Anything” dives deep into Jinx’s fractured psyche as she finally realizes Silco’s love was unconditional. With vocals that start in a haunted whisper and erupt into grunge-fueled catharsis, this track bleeds cinematic emotion—built for anyone who’s ever felt like a broken masterpiece.

Layered with haunting melodies, distorted lullabies, and tear-soaked memories, this is a tribute to the man who saw Jinx’s jagged edges as sacred art. “You’re perfect,” he said—and in this song, she believes it.

🎧 For fans of Arcane, cinematic soundscapes, and story-driven sonic art.

"Carry On" - From the "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land" Project

This is "Carry On," an epic metal rock ballad (5:57 min) by Beyond & Before Music, inspired by the novel "Hinter uns das Land" ("Behind Us The Land") by Frank Talmon l'Armée.

Imagine a conceptual band, "Adelheid's Wisdom," performing this track: A powerful, emotional male lead vocal tells a story of overcoming adversity, of stumbling and rising again. He's supported by haunting, mystical female and male vocals and an epic soundscape blending the intimacy of piano and cello with the power of distorted guitars, driving drums, and orchestral elements.

The song features dynamic shifts, a spoken word interlude with thunderous undertones, a soaring guitar solo (melodic building to a shred), and a massive final chorus. It's a song about the scars that make us stronger, the battles within, and the unbreakable spirit that carries us on, together.

This track is a deep dive into themes of resilience, inner strength, and the hope that endures even in the darkest of times.

"Carry On" (Complete Epic Rock Ballad Lyrics)

[MYSTIC INTRO – André] 
There’s a road where shadows whisper...
Where the lost and lonely gather...
Every scar a buried secret...
Every step... a choice to matter...

[VERSE 1 -André] 
The road of life, a winding, rugged track,
Sometimes a gentle slope, sometimes no turning back.
You see the storm clouds gather, feel the chilling breeze,
And stumble over stones that bring you to your knees.
A heart can shatter... 
(Echo - Elfriede) shatter...
Like fragile, fallen glass...
(Echo - Elfriede) glass… 
Hopes can dim and falter...
Watch the moments... pass... 

[PRE-CHORUS 1 - Adelheide] 
But in that silence, when you’re standing all alone...
You hear a whisper... 
a voice you’ve always known...
A spark to light the darkness...
To re-ignite... the flame... 

[CHORUS 1 – André] 
WE CARRY ON! WE CARRY ON! Together! Side by side!
Through the deepest valleys! Across the raging tide!
Every scar... a lesson! 
Every tear... a sign!
This unbreakable spirit...
(Adelheide) Yours... and... mine!

[VERSE 2 - Adelheide] 
You might have built your fortress... upon the shifting sand...
Watched it wash away... 
(Echo) away...
By forces... you can’t command...
(André) The echoes of a promise... 
A dream you held... so tight...
Fades into the shadows...
Of an endless... lonely night...

[MYSTIC INTERLUDE 2 - André] 
The storm you fear... is already inside...
(Adelheide and André) It carved your courage... from the mountain of pride...

(Adelheide) 
The chains that bind you... are forged by your hand...
Now strike the anvil... and reshape... the land...

[INTRO – REPRISE – André and Adelheide in the back]

There’s a road where shadows whisper...
Where the lost and lonely gather...
Every scar a buried secret...
Every step... a choice to matter...

[BRIDGE] (Full Band But Adelheide Lead)
Oh, the world will test you...
(Echo:) test you...
Try to break your will...
(Echo) break...
Push you to the limits...
Stand you on that hill!

[[FINAL CHORUS - André]
WE CARRY ON! WE CARRY ON! WE CARRY ON! TOGETHER! WE ARE STRONG!
This is where we rise!
(André and Adelheide) THIS IS WHERE... WE BELOOOOONG! (Hold note)

[OUTRO – Adelheide and André] 
The road still winds... (Breathy)
But now we walk it...
Together...

Carry On

Echo

Recorded at One on One Recording Studio in North Hollywood, by the Instrumental Casting Orchestra, with Ruslan Biryukov (cello soloist) and Dustin McKinney (trumpet soloist).

Certain musical patterns are shared among all of humanity, transcending geographical and temporal boundaries. This selection of early spiritual songs originating from the North American continent exemplifies this remarkable unity. Whether it be the music of indigenous peoples displaced by European colonists, the religious songs adapted from folk songs of European origins, the poignant spirituals of the enslaved forcibly brought to America’s shores, or the hymns sung by impoverished rural Southerners, humanity expresses hope through their shared language of music.
This orchestral suite opens with a rendition of a Lakota lullaby titled, “Čhaŋté Wašté Hokšíla (My Kind-Hearted Boy)”. This then transitions into a New England colonial rendition of the traditional song “Wayfaring Stranger”. The song’s sentiment of constant journeying, being a stranger in a strange land yet lifting the eyes in hope toward the promise of a better home, links the stories of all who reside on this continent: European immigrants fleeing oppression, indigenous communities forced upon trails of tears, and African people enslaved against their will.
From this wayfaring song that links them all, a lone trumpet introduces the melody, “I Wade the Water to My Knees”, a traditional ring shout song that recalls the historic 1803 rebellion and subsequent mass suicide at Dunbar Creek on St. Simons Island, Georgia. The lyrics of this call-and-response shout song bring this powerful imagery to life:

I wade the water to my knees.
I’m gonna pray, gonna pray.
I wade the water to my knees.
I’m gonna pray til I die.

Lord, the water’s so cold…
Til my body but not my soul…
I’m gonna sink and never rise…
Won’t rise now but don’t know when…
With my faith I’ll rise again…

Following a brief harmonic transition, a faithful orchestration of “Wondrous Love” is presented. The harmonies are accurately reproduced from those found in the Sacred Harp tunebook of 1844. This distinctly American tradition of harmony and singing-style originated in New England during the late 18th century and was subsequently codified in the aforementioned tunebook, published in the American South.
After this rugged rendition of “Wondrous Love” comes “Idumea”. The melody was initially composed by Ananias Davisson in 1816. Subsequently, it was paired with Methodist lyrics (authored by Charles Wesley in 1753) and included in the shape-note hymnal Southern Harmony in 1835. The hymn was further incorporated into the Sacred Harp collection in 1844.
At long last, our journey culminates in a seamless fusion of the melodies from “Idumea” and the Lakota Lullaby that began this musical narrative — once more, illustrating the striking commonalities shared in the music of our diverse heritages.

Spiritual Songs of the New World (Studio Recording)

A timeless rocker cleverly written intertwining the hazards of driving with the ups and downs of love. Hank uses all 4 lanes of the interstate and them some with his steady classic rock n roll rhythm, chiming chorus guitar, and an out of nowhere guitar lead solo using open scales and his stock tremolo bar. Almost two songs in one, the climactic second half finale brings Hank's heartfelt pledge of love sung over a beautiful chord progression filled with lush string arrangement which seems to be echoing that steady clicking, humming sound of the lonesome interstate, Warning, this song stirs up emotions just below the surface of those who know love all too well.

The Long Haul

Well, He's got the highway to your heart
I got to come up the rocky way
He jumped ahead from the start
I'm right in second baby that's OK
Because, I'm in it for the long haul
I'm in it for the long haul now baby

He's layin' rubber in the top end
but it ain't all about RPMs
My eighteen are gonna keep on chuggin'
I'll get to you baby no matter what I'm luggin'
cause, I'm in it for the long haul
I'm in it for the long haul now baby, 

When you're in love you better not speed
You might pass by somethin' that you really need
You need somethin' baby built to last
to carry love's heavy load
Because a lot of things can happen baby
when you're out on that open road

You get your hopes up high but love comes down crashin'
You try it again but the same thing happens
Sooner or later you're gonna' get tired of bein' bumped around
That's when I'm gonna' be ready baby, just pullin' into your town
 
I know you're lookin' for Mr. Right
not those one-night romeos
Someday you'll see me in a different light
and that's the day I'll pull this rig off the road
Because, I'm in it for the long haul
I'm in it for the long haul now baby
Long haul, baby
Ohhh yeah, I'm in it for the long haul now baby

I'm in it for the long haul
I'm in it for the long haul 
I'm in it for the long haul now baby Ow

When the bridge is out, 
ohhh! there ain't no doubt
I'll find a different route
I'll be there by the mornin' yeah

Through the pourin' rain
No matter how steep the grade
I'm gonna' keep makin' my way to you baby

I'm in it for the long haul
I'm in it for the long haul
I'm in it for the long haul now baby
Baby, baby baby baby
Baby, baby baby baby
Long haul
Baby, baby, baby baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Hold on, It won't be long
Ohhh! I'm in it for the long long haul

📝 Description

"Tango in the Rain" sweeps you into a world where every drop of water becomes a heartbeat and every note a whispered promise. Picture a cobblestone street drenched under a silver glow, footsteps echoing as violin and piano entwine in a passionate embrace. The sultry melody of the violin weeps with longing, while the cello’s warm timbre pulses like a lover’s steady breath. The piano’s chords glisten — each keystroke a raindrop dancing on your skin.

As the storm intensifies, the quartet’s rhythm tightens: viola strokes snap like lightning, and the cello’s low-register whispers anchor you in a moment of shared vulnerability. The interplay of solo lines and lush harmonies evokes a stolen midnight rendezvous, drenched in longing and defiance. You can almost feel the dancers’ wet shoes sliding across the pavement, their bodies in perfect tension, surrendering to the music’s electric current.

Here, sorrow and joy swirl together, creating a tapestry of desire that is at once urgent and tender. "Tango in the Rain" isn’t just a piece — it’s an invitation to lose yourself in a torrential romance that refuses to let go.

Once again, I am beside myself with joy to honour the memory of my high school bestie Dan Wayne Dunlop (October 4, 1957 – November 17, 2012), by producing and publishing his original song "Out In A Week".  Dan and I first met in junior high school, and we became best friends in high school.  We were bad, had tons of fun and jammed together often for many years. 

Dan wrote "Out In A Week" in the late 1970s, recording it on a cassette player using a drum machine, his guitar, and his own vocals.  I first attempted to revive the song I had on cassette using AI technology, but that didn't pan out.  Instead, and with the contributions of some amazing musicians, I re-recorded the song, performing the vocals, alto sax and keys. 

In many ways Dan was my mentor, I admired his independent nature, talent and drive.  A born comedian, cartoonist, singer, guitarist, puppeteer, film producer, radio talk show host, cameraman, film editor and, with all that talent, he also had a big heart. Truly an outstanding person who influenced so many people who are to this day grateful to have known him.  I hope I did him proud with my rendition of  "Out In A Week" and the music video.  Once again, I feel great pride and love in keeping his legacy alive by immortalizing his artistry.  I love you brother (RIP).

The Song:

"Out In A Week", with its hard-hitting blues-rock vibe, sentences the listener to jail for criminal behaviour, followed by the elation that accompanies the prospect of getting out in a week.

Lyrics in English

----- Introducing the song -----

There are songs that entertain, and there are songs that open a door to another world. This is one of the latter.

From the salt-stained decks of ancient ships to the marble halls of philosophers, from whispered prayers in the night to the roaring wrath of Poseidon — Ulysses, Penelope and Paul, The Pilgrim – The Myth Untold (pt1) is a voyage across time, faith, and the unyielding power of love.

Here, the legendary patience of Penelope meets the relentless journey of Ulysses, and both are illuminated in a prophetic dream by the pilgrim heart of Paul — a prophet who would born centuries later, sailed not only seas, but the depths of the soul. It is a tapestry woven with threads of Greek myth, biblical echoes, and the eternal human longing for the divine.

The music carries you like a tide — sometimes gentle, sometimes fierce — through verses that shimmer with moonlight and choruses that rise like a hymn to the God whose name cannot be spoken. It is not merely a retelling of an old story, but the unveiling of the myth untold — where love becomes a beacon, faith becomes the helm, and the journey itself becomes the miracle.

This is not just a song to be heard. It is a pilgrimage to be taken. And once you set sail, you may never return the same.

----- Lyrics -----

(Main Theme)

(Verse 1)

With tender hearts, they dreamed apart, 
Through walls and seas, defying gods. 
I rowed through storms, against the tide, 
Your midnight hair, like asters, sighed.

(Break 1)

(Verse 2)

A silent trust my ship would float, 
Though waves would scream, I stayed afloat. 
Your moonlit skin, so pale and bright, 
Reminded me of love’s first light.

(Chorus 1)

From start to end, the stars would cry, 
As heaven watched our tears go by. 
The God whose name we cannot say, 
Still led us through the silent way.

From Ithaca to Athens' flame, 
Each trial passed, we praised His name. 
Our love endured, our faith stood tall, 
And through the myth, we gave our all.

(Guitar Solo)

(Verse 3)

It wasn’t Ithaca he sought, 
But something timeless, deeply taught. 
And through Poseidon’s raging sea, 
Faith steered the soul of this Greek free.

(Verse 4)

Penelope, with hands of grace, 
Stitched hope through time, in silent space. 
Though she could not behold my face, 
By faith alone, she held our place.

(Interlude)

“In the Dreams Realm, I saw Greek men in marble stone, 
Debating ether, thought alone. 
Altars raised to gods known, 
And there, between the void and word, 
A pilgrim’s voice was deeply heard: ‘To the Unknown God.’ " 

The temple stirred.

(Chorus 2)

To the Unknown God we sing, 
Beyond the mind, beyond the king. 
Among the wise, the myth took flight, 
Revealed in truth, revealed in light.

At the empty altar’s flame, 
I heard the echo of His name. 
You, Penelope, always mine, 
And now this God, both human and divine.

(Final of Part 1)

From myth to miracle, sea to sky, 
Penelope and Paul, hope lifted high. 
The love that waits, the faith that flows, 
Moves waters deep, where mountains froze.

In the name we cannot speak, 
We found the truth the wise still seek.

Ron Snyder- Do You Wanna Do That (again) - Original Song

Una noche, frente al mar y bajo la luna llena, me tocó una melodía que me recordó a ese viejo tema mío. Me miró, sonrió y susurró: '¿Por qué no lo compartes con el mundo?' Así nació 'Arpeggio'.
