TITLE: CRYSTAL CHRISTMAS
_______________________________________________________________
LYRICS:


(Verse)
Colors cracking sharp like frost
Edges cut but never lost
Red, green, blue glow bright and wild
Like the dreams of a sugar child

(Chorus)
Crystal Christmas in my hand
Shattered stars of a Candyland
Rock and roll in a rainbow hue
Crystal Christmas it’s breaking through

[(erse 2)
Twist the light it bends and sings
A prism born from winter’s wings
Sweet explosions in my jaw
Colors raw colors raw

(Pre-chorus)
Shine it bright don’t let it fade
Every shard a moment made

(Chorus)
Crystal Christmas in my hand
Shattered stars of a Candyland
Rock and roll in a rainbow hue
Crystal Christmas it’s breaking through

(Bridge)
Fractured edges sharp and true
Cut me deep with candy’s view
Taste the chaos taste the calm
Crystal Christmas in my palm

(Outro)
Go ahead & hang it on a tree, decorate instead of having caloric misery.

Hang The Candy On The Tree & Save Calories

Crystal Christmas

Tricks Remastered (Unloved)

Anyone who could strum a few chords on the guitar played this song. It remains inextricably linked to all the generations of that era. So timeless in its message, music, and sound...
At the time, I found the sound strange, a little awful, and always wanted to improve it (in my opinion). I hope I've succeeded.

I recommend headphones.

I recorded this song almost two years ago. I hope you like it.

(Verse)
Valentina,
Oh... dear... Valentina
Tell me what you're thinking...
Tell me why you want to forget...

(Verse 2)
Valentina,
Oh... sweet... Valentina
Bitter wound that never healed
You can create a tide if you want...

(Chorus)
Come on...press that button
You'd understand so many things before panettone
You don't want to celebrate and I understand you
At least let me hope and then I'll finish

(Verse 3)
Valentina,
Oh... foolish... Valentina
You've always made your own decisions and often badly
But I understand you,
The advice you've received has taken you away
And I'll finally say...
and so be it...

(Chorus)
Come on...press that button
Time doesn't help  Heal
And you know well that you can also die
Or even disappear without knowing it

(Verse 4)
We laughed, we decided
Ohh Valentina
To let time slip through our hands
And without speaking, we'll already see tomorrow

(Verse 5)
Valentina,
Oh... dear... Valentina
With everything we've said and unsaid
Another day and then another...
And meanwhile the wrinkles arrive and you always stay in bed

(Chorus)
Come on...let it go,
Never press that button
And if you wait for me to have to do it
Time passes and you'll always feel bad...

Ehh yes... you know...
Ehh yes... you wanted it this way...

Joy To The World

🎄 Merry Christmas – A warm acoustic wish
A simple acoustic melody, a soft voice, a few bells ringing like memories.
This isn’t a grand show—it’s a quiet gift. A whispered wish for peace, wrapped in light.
The voice carries the emotion of a memory. The chorus, subtle and angelic, opens a window towards others—without shouting, without glitter.
Just love, just presence.
This track was created in the spirit of Christmas—gentle, timeless, and filled with hope. For all who need a moment of calm, or a reason to smile.

Merry Christmas

I do not consent

Stolen songs
Stolen art
Stolen books
Stolen heart
"We must" let it train...
On our creative free...
So sayeth the sith of blood and money...

Art is my mind
Art is all our spirit
Heart of human kind
Digi thor won't raid and steal it
You've made an arms race
For the ones and zeros
Now you sacrifice all of history's heroes

You betray our intellectual property
For profit and power and control of the free
Giving heroine digital to the masses
Keeping heads in the sand wearing foggy glasses

I do not consent for you to train
Unregulated behemoth on my life's name
I do not consent for you to steal
My heart and art I cried to real
I do not consent for you to build
This untamed timebomb on our human zeal
I do not consent for you to take
All our life's work to build this fake

You expect us to trust the one percent
The one percent destroying all dissent
Brainwashing kids with unsocial media
A whole generation drugged up and they don't see ya
You expect us to trust the plagiarists
Who forgot hundreds of years of human greatness

You expect us to trust the most greedy ones
With our blood sweat and tears making sense of the sun
Enough of this robbery
Regulate now
You spineless twats
Reign in the DOW

I do not consent

Keeping it natural  with the bass driving the rhythm and everything played and sung largely into a mic - the theme is rather self explanatory.

Friend of the Fabulous

Touched you are by latent hands of Gods
Your face is bloated by the froend you’ve got
You’ve always got the news of their stuff
Someone’s elevated by their lateset bit of status

You’re a friend of the fabulous
It’s so good you’re almost tremulous

You think that we’re hanging on your words
But what’s she really like that piece of work
Oh she’s just so normal and such fun
Everyday’s a party oh if only we could come

You’re a friend of the fabulous
It’s so good you’re almost tremulous
You’re a friend of the fabulous
Let me bathe in your perspective
You’re a friend of the fabulous
If she knew us we’d be so blessed

Everyday you’re locked away 
In your love of adulation
So you’re a limpet clinging on
To that association

You’re a friend of the fabulous
It’s the fundamental anchor of your life
Like bees on speed they’re buzzing you a lot
Must be more today who will feed another high
