A moody alternative, synth infused rock bop about my struggle with addiction. Written and produced by a Spanish woman (me 💁‍♀️) stuck between two continents. You'll probably like if you're into The Last Dinner Party, Florence + The Machine, Sharon Van Etten.

GLASS EMPTY

Midnight on the Dance Floor

No Mans Land

Where once more great Tigers roamed
Hear hunted Mammoth's final moans
Great Atlas Bear was just our sport
What fine humanity report!

Where Monk Seal was just skin and blubber
Great Auk gone for meat, oil and feather
Us 'clever ones' say diversity banned
Welcome to Earth by human hand

Passenger Pigeon sent to the past
We made sure Dodo could not last
Ample fish and ample whale
Made dead on this grave human trail

So many species on the edge
As we spread out with our poisoned heads
Unbalanced Earth will bite us soon
Since Gaia greets new system tuned

We see no problem on our street
Worked in bubbles
Just bank our meat
Not a care for the biosphere
This indifferent dare
More then ever clear

We don't have long to cool the cruel
We must sync up with real life soon
Or else extinction meets our hand
Finally, again
Real no mans land

Decision time
Borders or Planet
Presicion timed or stay tuned to habit
Do we break the rot of selfish reign
Earth welcomes us
Treating all life the same

Even scripture got that bit right
Life of love keeps life as light
A promised land says I sha'nt impose
My foot won't trample on any rose

Should we survive at alls' expense
The pea says no for future tense
Extant give gift to children's hand
Let's learn to make this no mans land

Less excess
Less material bind
Right ration must be human kind
Land for legs of any number
Time is now to mend our blunder


In the past I guess humans had an excuse with the lack of education and questionable morality due to being unaware of th global and existential consequences of our actions whether it was pollution or killing other life.

Today, we have no excuse. The qualified minds have taught us the implications of our collective impact on the planet and the growing list of niches of life we have directly wiped out by our presence here and the way we choose to live.

With protectionism on the rise within political systems we have the perfect storm of ignorance towards the problems our beings are not evolved enough to comprehend and appreciate fully. We are small animals that respond to our direct environment and that has unfortunely intensivised us zoning out with our algorithmically fed small version of the world through the narrow amount of information many offer themselves through the internet or through listening to people of narrow minded viewpoints largely governed by special interests wanting to keep status quos for profiteering.

We only get on top of these global issues when we transcend making decisions for our own countries and start making hard decisions for the survival of humans on the planet as a whole. Appreciating that is hard as we have not evolved to think outside our own direct local experience. Gaia theory suggests we need to treat us as part of the whole system and so far we treat ourselves as the system and screw everything else. That selfishness will come back to bite us unless we start levelling the wealth amoungst the human population. That levelling should stop poorer countries acting desperately for resources and making things worse as a result, exactly what so called developed countries did when they were in that position years ago so that's a natural human reaction to local survival.
AI can help us but we may need to take it off the profiteers and develop it collectively for that to become a net positive for humanity and to accelerate humans towards a point of living balanced lives with all other niches on the planet.
We have done a terrible job collectively with intelligence so far hence the opportunism that is so easily sown around the world going against the direction we need to be headed to fix things. So maybe AI developed ethically can help us both as a better spreader of real knowledge and hence education and to help make calculated decisions for the planet as opposed to individual countries which too many still tend to be governed by xenophobia and protectionism. Education is key

No Mans Land

What dies becomes the mud
the lilies rise above.
The apparition still follows me.
Nightmare turns into eternity

and translucent goes the outer.
A black blood pulsing through the course.
Pink medallion and ceremonial marble
foretell the day's bone fall 
down to the fiery pit below.

The dark one smoked a blood pipe
over a coal belt diamond
on the day that I was born

and on and on it plays
this primordial sway.
No two are the same
and the avenue goes long
and it lays the sand it paves
and heat, it graves
the hands that slaved
and built to save
the one last thing you hadn't gave

and we rise like ammonia
sink like mercury
unearth the mystery
arise from the bed
live like the dead.

The thought charm poisons.
The anger roils in the street.
We are locked within chambers
in chase of the elusive pleasure.
They want to keep us in need.
They want to keep us apart.

LAW OF ATTRACTION (BELIEVE)

Believing is not a thought
Believing is a feeling

And this is where resistance hides
This is where the noise appears

Fear rises
Doubt whispers
Old memories speak loudly

What if it doesn’t happen
What if I fail
What if I am wrong

Belief collapses under pressure
When emotions pull in opposite directions

I notice the resistance
I do not fight it
I allow it to be seen

The universe cannot be fooled
By forced smiles
Or borrowed faith

It hears what I don’t say
It feels what I hide

So I turn inward
With absolute honesty
With sincerity
Without judgment

I see my fear
I see my doubt
I see my anger
I see my jealousy

And I do not push them away

I see it
I feel it
I allow it

I release fear
I release doubt

I release anger
I release resentment

I release jealousy
I release comparison

No complaints
No resistance
No inner argument

Nothing to prove
Nothing to defend
Nothing to fight

Let it soften
Let it pass
Let it dissolve

I am not broken
Nothing is wrong
These emotions were only signals

And now they are free to go

LAW OF ATTRACTION (BELIEVE) is a raw, introspective meditation on belief as an emotional state rather than a mental command. The lyrics explore how fear, doubt, and resistance quietly sabotage manifestation... not as enemies to defeat, but as signals to be acknowledged and released.

Instead of forced positivity, the song embraces radical honesty, emotional awareness, and surrender. Through calm observation and inner permission, resistance dissolves naturally, allowing belief to return as a felt truth. Set against dramatic electronic textures, desert ambience, and a haunting violin solo, the piece unfolds like a spiritual initiation... moving from inner conflict to emotional clarity, softness, and freedom.

LAW OF ATTRACTION (BELIEVE)

A light hearted look at getting Older. Dedicated to my Mother who i am very quickly catching up on ...age wise :-)))) This is a new mix of a song i released earlier this year. 

Verse 1 
When I’m old and grey, will you love me still 
Will you still laugh at my jokes and the funny thing I say 
Will you hold my hand when we walk down the street 
Even when I’m stooped and bent and shuffling my feet 

Verse 2 
Will you still love me when I’m old and grey
When the threads that hold my life together get worn and start to fray 
When I can’t remember who you are or what I want to say 
Will you still love me when I reach that day 

Chorus 
If you can see beyond the years its still the same young me 
Ther one who said I’ll love for all eternity 
Until the end of time, I’ll be your will you be mine
Will you stay, when I’m old and grey 

Vers 3 
When I’m old and grey will you love me still 
If I Die in testate and don’t leave a will 
When I’ve passed away, will you love me still 
Will you be a sport and pay the funeral bill 

 Repeat Chorus 


Johnny Mc farlane

Will you love me still, when I'm old and Grey

What’s important ?

He carved his name In marble and in metal 
High up on a hill Looking down So still 
She drew a map On napkins in the kitchen 
Coffee rings and plans Passing through her hands 

Men build monuments Women build bridges 
You can keep your throne
 We’re crossing these ridges 
Stone might stand there 
But hearts span the distance 
Men build monuments Women build bridges 

He raised a wall Counting every honour 
Framed upon the shelf Talking to himself 
She raised a laugh In rooms that never met yet Stringing souls in lines Threading all our lives 

Stack your towers Chase your crowns 
We move rivers Town to town 
Name the statue Claim the sky 
We’re the path You walk to fly
