Can Not Cry

--
The rain hit the pavement, cold and grey,
Running through the council estate,
Me and my brothers, out all day,
Living off laughter, crisps, and fate.

Dad’s old Ford, rusting in the drive,
Mum’s vinyl spinning, keeping us alive,
Bowie and Boland sang us to sleep,
Dreams in the static, memories deep.

Oh, the echoes of the past still call my name,
Flickering like old TV flames,
From hiding in fields to the corner shop,
Time moves on, but the past won’t stop.

Saturday mornings, sweet and slow,
Kicking a ball where the wild grass grows,
Stealing a smoke behind the shed,
Tales of tomorrow filling our heads.

Dad’s old Ford, rusting in the drive,
Mum’s vinyl spinning, keeping us alive,
Punk on the telly, disco at dawn,
We never knew we’d soon be gone.

Oh, the echoes of the past still call my name,
Flickering like old TV flames,
From hiding in fields to the corner shop,
Time moves on, but the past won’t stop.

Letters from school, old scuffs on my knees,
The smell of the chippy still rides on the breeze,
Brothers in battle, but brothers in arms,
Now only shadows remain in the calm.

And if I could, I’d go back again,
To rainy streets and childhood friends,
But the echoes fade, the years move fast,
Still, I hold on to the echoes of the past.

Brothers (Feat. John 'Zac' Hill)

Also big shout out to ~ HeruKhuti on #SoundCloud

This song wouldn't exist if it wasn't for their daily doses of chill. Masters of this universe 🙌🏽🔆

Note: my notes below are my notes and reflect nothing else. In this case I should probably separate the shout out from the message as they are not at all related aside from musically 🎶


Lyrics

Give me universal power
Real intention for this hour
A fleeting HeruKhuti flower
Give me real universal power

Lord, forgive me
We've washed away that sin
They just mind thin
So replaced it with a grin
An inner fling thing
A much louder ring
One Universal bling
Just inner fling thing 

My man Jörg, we're getting bored...

{Enter best🎷♾️}

My guess, Humour makes the spirit world
So jokes alive
Jack shit for karmas cloak
Once there's no hurt
Evolve that sarcastic girth
See the worth
Which witch comical nurse
Be sorceror of human humor thirst
You cry
You laugh
It works
Less hurts 

If your demons are doubling 
Then just double your light doing the shoveling
You power your intention
Go give fear detention

As I lay me down to sleep
I pray to soul so heart can beat
And mind can dream and keep a peace
If I should die before I wake
Good soul loves on with bodies sake

Jörg got roll... It's time to smooth that soul...
Yeah eh
{Enter best🎷♾️}

Lord, forgive me
We've washed away that sin
They just mind thin
So replaced it with a grin
An inner fling thing
A much louder ring
One Universal bling
Just inner fling thing

Let's take it away. Give 'em all good day
{Enter best🎷♾️}

Jörg your a focking genius brother. Fair play 👌🏽🎷♾️

I'm thinking of a little conversation on Instagram I had with someone. So there was a video of a priest carrying this massive Easter egg and does this Obi Wan Jedi dive off the alter and disappears. I made a joke about it and someone got offended and told me karma coming my way
 because I was "thankful" someone made a video of it.
Eh, sorry to offend you but my guess is humour makes it to the spirit world.

For me that's how religion limits the spirit. They try and take a monopoly on what the spirit is... But no
 one aside from me knows my spirit and no one
ever will. Like I can't know anyone else's. I believe it's the most powerful thing in the universe but I

 think we can just experience it as individuals. For now I'm not sure it should be a collective thing at all especially given what happens when we try and explain it to each other


Jedi Priest here if you want to ruin your screen time calculations for today 😆

We gotta giggle when we can and once no one is getting hurt (He fell on an air ball of chocolate - all sounds sound like that in a church) then the universe has your back in my space-time anyways! Maybe we retain our energy better when we embrace comedy. More energy to focus when it's needed to get rid of the indifference projected in the world towards actual pain. This should be an initiation ritual for priests... You are not a priest until you have dived off the alter like Jedi Priest!

Reminder. Priests have caused enough pain in this world and deserve the odd slagging too! They made planet Earth way too fucking serious and filled our world with way too many whacky interpretations with little proof of anything to back
 them up aside from drilling it into innocent humans early in life.

religion needs to leave all schools NOW and we can save our children from the mind numbing dumbing down it currently delivers them.

My children go to a Catholic school... During religion class they do art and get something out of that time. Ain't no way they are getting brain washed

Another song recorded recently.
I’m always blown away by Nooblys production but this was off the scale for me I literally send him files of main vox & backing harmonies and leave him to it. My reaction was Wow  this sounds ridiculous.
I never know what to expect as he loves to experiment with them and chops and changes the arrangements for maximum effect. Such a talented producer as well as musician and great friend.
The song tells the story of how you evolve from a relationship to realise that it isn’t going anywhere. She thinks it just a blip but you know it’s just your evolution from the situation & time to move on because now you are ready. 
Conscience of Kings give you …….

My Evolution 

Intro
Our traffic lights of life
Went  from Blue green yellow to red
passing souls  in the night 
Knowing something isn’t right 

This is my evolution 
Not a mini  revolution 

V1 

It’s not the person who changes it only the mask that’s falling off 
There are reminders everywhere 
To a time when I really cared

Chorus 
This is isn’t a revolution 
Just part of my evolution 
There is no solution 
This is just my Constitution
To my…… evolution 

Lead break

V2 

So I’m going to finish it 
and leave it right here 
Don’t wanna see what tomorrow brings 
I know we’ve been closer than Close
That seems like a long time ago, now I feel like your ghost

Ch

Outro 
You can call it a mini revolution, it’s
It’s still my evolution 
It doesn’t make a difference. There is no solution.
It’s just my evolution from you

My Evolution ~ Conscience Of Kings

Dreams are sometimes wild and emotional. I tried to process that in a soundtrack.
Träume sind manchmal wild und Emotional. Das habe ich versucht in einem Soundtrack zu verarbeiten.


Just a Dream

SAFE SPACE by Nova J 

Get with the program
Sorry, but no ma’am
My life’s not broken
(My life’s not broken)

So why you tryna fix it
Throwin’ snap decisions
You seem so committed
(You seem so committed)

And now you’re tearin’ up my safe space
Doing damage I cannot erase
I don’t wanna go back
(No, don’t wanna go back)
To that dark place
But you keep tearin’ up my safe space

(this is my safe space — ahhh)
(this is my safe space — mm-mm)
(my-my-my… safe space — shhhhhh)
(this… this… this is safe — safe — safe)
(mmm this is my…)
(…safe space — safe space — safe space)

Pushing your opinion
Like it’s your dominion
I’ve got my own rhythm
(I’ve got my own rhythm)

You call it tough love
I call it just dumb
And now the time has come
(And now the time has come)

That you are tearin’ up my safe space
Doing damage I cannot erase
I don’t wanna go back
(No, don’t wanna go back)
To that dark place
But you keep tearin’ up my safe space

(this is my safe space — ahhh)
(this is my safe space — mm-mm)
(my-my-my… safe space — shhhhhh)
(this… this… this is safe — safe — safe)
(mmm this is my…)
(…safe space — safe space — safe space)

I don’t wanna go back to 2022
On my knees cryin’ — I was barely over you
I prayed my way out, with God’s good grace
Now you say get out, of my safe space

(this is my safe space — ahhh)
(this is my safe space — mm-mm)
(my-my-my… safe space — shhhhhh)
(this… this… this is safe — safe — safe)
(mmm this is my…)
(…safe space — safe space — safe space)

My life’s not broken
(So why you tryna fix it)
Pushing your opinion
(Like it’s your dominion)

And now you’re tearin’ up my safe space
Doing damage I cannot erase
I don’t wanna go back
(No, don’t wanna go back)
To that dark place
But you keep tearin’ up my safe space

SAFE SPACE

Hiding from Grandma 2. Frank & Hilma

There is a light in every soul, even when it forgets its own name. This final song is a gentle blessing: may you remember that hope returns, and that dawn always follows night. Your light is real, even when you can’t see it yet.

There is a light
That forgot its name,
Burning somewhere
Beyond all shame.

It flickers in silence,
It glows in the rain—
A promise unbroken,
A hope without pain.

I walk toward the morning,
Though shadows remain.
I follow the light
That forgot its name.

It flickers in silence,
It glows in the rain—
A promise unbroken,
A hope without pain.

And I remember,
As dawn softly came—
I, too, am the light
That forgot its name.

Light That Forgot Its Name

Have you ever seen a shadow of something out of the corner of your eye?
But you can't really see it, touch it or describe what it is. It's just there, annoying.....but also a little scary..
Is it a guilty conscience? A badly disturbed soul. Your own inadequacy? Or your own or someone else's disappointment?......

Or is it all of these feelings and maybe a few more who appears and manifests itself as a ghost to you? A ghost of a sence........which always seems present......no matter what you do....there is always this echo.....and it is with some anguish that we let the difficult moments in our lives pass in our thoughts.........Hmmmm

Ghost of a Sense

Yes, I know you.
I can feel your presence.
I can touch you, smell you.
I see you not by sight of eye
And yet I ken that you are I
That vespered wraith that writhes within
To test my faith, try my sin
Push the bounds to cause offence
A moral, soul thing, ghost of a sense recalls myself, so well defined
Entrenched, walls behind, built so sound of dust that crowned the pity, falling soft amiss,
Deep inside the tears I cry as here I find my self-abyss.

Whispers bringing shadows, filled of secrets therein held,
Memories, morose, piece me still, to wear in time, my wasted face.
And now reside, cast aside, to forge and ever meld,
Of haunting, ringing echoes, that will alone their chime erased.

Ah! But you won't twist me, nor bind me fast, to the sandy doctrines of the misty past,
With its beards and staffs and crinkled testaments.
My future's sprinkled here present with your crass irrelevance and matters not that sat right there,
The blackest chasm in my simpling world so spare,
Where space and time have overspilled the leaking psyche of a crippled mind,
That barely copes, unfulfilled, a crooked, limpid moral health of broken shrines
That hopes to find ....
.......some worthwhile inner self.

Ghost of a sence - David, Peter & Seagull

Lyrics:
Where is my heart
Taking me now
Across an empty desert
Into an abandoned house
Endless rooms
Empty halls
cries of joy
sobs of pain

Where is my heart
Taking me now? (Taking me now!)

Lost in a dream…
I wish I was.
But instead…
I am trapped in this cage.
They called it life.
I call it imposed.
I wish I could leave 
But where would I go?
(Where would I go?)

Where is my soul
Leading me now?
Across a vacant highway
Into an empty hole
Dark recesses 
Endless space 
Screams of fear
Gasps of life

Where is my soul
Leading me now? (Leaving me now?)

Lost in a dream
I wish I was
But instead
I am trapped in this cage (trapped)
They call it life
I call it imposed 
I wish I could leave 
But where would I go?
(Where do I go?)

Where is my body
Pressing me now?
Against another human
Changing me again, again 
Formless mind
Empty soul
Voiceless pleas
End of life

Where is my body
Pressing me now? (Changing me now?)

Lost in a dream
I wish I was
But instead
I am trapped in this cage
They call it life
I call it imposed 
I wish I could leave 
But where would I go?
Where would I go
Where would I go?

but where would i go?
