Something to listen to and really think back on. Everyone has a purpose, everyone is perfect in their own way. And when things get rough, know that you have the strength to ride out the storm.

Sample: "Heal" by Tom Odell

LYRICS
If my pen is a brush, then this page is my canvas. Every stroke is a memory soaked in sadness, every colour is an emotion that leaks from the soul, every painting a dream amidst the white background, like a photograph frozen in snow. 

They say the strongest shade of red comes from a bleeding heart; out of the pain of a love that's been torn apart. 

For me, that was you. I mean at some point i guess everyone plays the fool. No need to cover it up, I've shed my fair share of tears too. Manipulated and used, you played my heart out like a piano, until it finally bent out of tune. 

Now the sounds of my memories are lacking in clarity, lost in the deep end of this pool of disparity, sometimes i feel so close to you until i realize that you're actually way ahead of me. 

On this one way street i see you fade into the future, while i'm barely able to move; all i do anymore is listen to old record tapes that remind me of you, warm music that was once meant to sooth, now just feels like more salt on these wounds. 

Failed promises creep into my dreams at night. Constant reminders of all the things i didn't do to make this right, remnants of your scent and what you looked like flood my past and for a brief moment i get a chance to bask in our memories but they never last, i always wake up too fast. 
The inevitability of each morning, opening my eyes to the reality of not having you by my side, and as hard as I try to avoid it, I keep playing back that night when you told me your love wasn't true. That pain hit me like an arrow, pierced my heart and went straight through; now it just hurts with every thought of you. 


I did my best to make it seem like I didn't care, but it was an obvious bluff. When it comes to love, there is no such thing as too much -there is only not enough. And in the journey between this world and the world above, I wonder if the hearts final regret..is the fear that it may never have truly loved.

"Memories" - A Spoken Word Poem

(Original Live Performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3JCpteKTb0)

It's a full feature poem that I'm tremendously proud of, and one that I hope can instill feelings of inspiration and confidence in whatever you do in your life. 

Music: "Fly", from the Intouchables Soundtrack (2011)

LYRICS:
“They say that ignorance is bliss...thats all i want, a spotless mind. Devoid of any regrets or doubts, no barriers of space or time. Memories forgotten like wisps in the wind, appearing for just  a moment, and then never returning again. 
But thats just wishful thinking. Because honestly, most of the time we're on the brink of sinking; under the weight of all of those wasted opportunities and regretful choices, all of the things we've held back and all of the things we've voiced, all that noise and all that silence, all of those times that we should have done something, but we didn't, held back by a false sense of defiance.
You see our lives are not shaped by just one thing, or one decision. Instead, our actions are like seeds; growing and branching out into a multiplicity of inevitabilities that combine to form the matrix of our existence, and whenever we try to intervene we find that we simply get tangled up in the vines of all our limitless possibilities. We come to learn that is the seemingly inconsequential events of our lives that truly end up defining our past, and leading us to this present moment, to right now, right here...because that’s all that matters. 
So don't fear the moment, own it; don't be afraid to control it. Because If all we have is right now, then you better get going, and don't look back. Open up your palms and follow that map that you've carefully drawn out, and you'll soon find yourself breaking away from the very things you thought you'd never be able to live without. 
But don't jump out of your seat just yet. A great leader knows that every mile begins with a first step, every inspiring speech begins with a single breath, and regardless of what others say, you alone are the architect of your own success. So build high, and build fearlessly, because that foundation was there long before you realized it, and will remain long after you forget. 
“...Oh and by the way, you know when they say that good things come to those who wait? Thats not true; good things come to those who chase. Those who embrace the uncertainty of what they do, those who fight to get through the hard times, those who run across a field of landmines without blinking an eye, those who aren't afraid to cry to get through the pain, you see tears are the avenues through which our souls are cleansed, they are the feather-light droplets of purity that carry with them the weight of the world.
And What's more, is that they remind us that its ok to be afraid of what lies at the end of life’s great endeavours. 
Because even though some things never change, something's can change you forever."

"Don't Look Back" - Inspirational Spoken Word Poetry

Here's a bit of backstory to this song! This was originally a musical number for an animation that I had composed back in early 2014. It was about two character getting captured and tied to a big rocket (very cartoony stuff!) and one takes their moments before and during launch to confess his love to the other character. At the height of the song, the rocket looks like it's going to explode in the air with them but instead a parachute comes out! They glide safely back down as fireworks burst in the sky! It was a setup the whole time by a character that we all thought was the antagonist! 

Well every year I want to release it for Valentine's Day since the cartoon fell apart. It was a really fun song to write! So here it is at long last! I haven't done much over the past few years to it, so a lot is the original recording! :D Ah the nostalgia for me. I'm working on the video now! I do hope it could be animated one day though!

Happy Single Awareness Day, fellow singles!
As someone who likes to cook a lot, I always end up with leftovers because my cook book makes meals for two. So that inspired this song! This song was a challenge to myself to write a full song in just a much shorter than normal amount of time. I'm trying to make fun songs like this every month! I'm working on the video now! It's going to be a fun little music video in my kitchen x'D Wish me luck making this video.

------------LYRICS------------
As I look out over this blue ocean view, I can't help but think I should be looking at it with you. 
I think you would have liked it too, 
how the sun glistens over the waves as they caress the shore, 
the way the sand wraps around your feet like walking on a cashmere floor,
the way the wind breezes past your golden blond hair, I’d stand there thinking...I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

You bring out the best in me, and I wish I could show you how that felt. 
I wish it wasn’t so hard to describe how some people seem to just…hold the world in their eyes.

A mystery with answers I hope I never find, 
one that defies explanation,
how else do you describe beauty that cannot be improved upon by the imagination?

I admit; sometimes I struggle with patience. 
Whenever I'm with you, a part of me can't help but want more, I wanna…adore you from a distance, 
sit next to you and just listen, 
open up to me again, your sensitivity I've missed it. 
What a thing to be young and in love, wrapped up in hugs and kisses, 
Hopes and wishes, the promise of the future; it can whatever we make it. 
Our fate is in the palm of our hands, we’ve just gotta be brave enough to create it. 

Look, I'm not ashamed to say it; I've lost my way more times than I can remember. But you’ve always been there to save me, even when I tell you I'm fine...even if I won't admit I need saving, somehow...you always seemed to know,
The silent language of lovers,
not saying a word but completely understanding each other. 

Just promise me you won't let go, 
it's easy to forget the special bonds people make. 
Time is…like an ocean, 
slowly washing old memories away. 
But I don't think I'll ever forget the warmth of your breath, 
like a gentle summer rain, 
or the passion in your eyes, 
an inextinguishable flame. 
Burning with every touch, I just can't help it
...I'm in love with this pain.

"Blue Ocean View" - A Spoken Word Poem

2 nobodies who've decided to create their own "sibling run band"
Lucifaer Jack and JASoN Jack
They are Not related in any way. They just so happen to have the same last name.
They created this band because they were bored and wanted to share their weird Variety music with anyone who was willing to listen.

I write songs not lyrics (heheh)
